Chapter 207: Storm

Wang Yue arrived in front of a ruined villa. He confirmed that Yang Yongfan had been completely wiped out, turned into ashes.

As he looked at the scene before him, Wang Yue fell into contemplation.

Yang Yongfan had obviously been stronger than himself, but even he had been turned into nothing but ashes by the thunder and lightning strikes, leaving no trace of his body behind.

If he were to break through, Wang Yue realized that his chances of success were slim.

What should he do?

Was he meant to never break through in his lifetime?

That was impossible! If he didn't break through and become strong enough, he wouldn't even be able to control his own destiny when a crisis struck!

But if he did break through, what would happen during this thunder tribulation?

It could really kill a person!!!

There were many amazing items in the system, such as a divine lightning rod, a high-voltage 1,000,000 volt insulation suit, invisibility pills that made anyone who took them invisible, a smartphone that lightning wouldn't strike, Thor's hammer...

There were so many incredible things in there that Wang Yue's head spun, and if he could, he would've robbed the system.

However, while the items were great, their exchange value was prohibitively high, and he couldn't afford them at the moment!

He could only accumulate merit points slowly.

Of course, there was another option:

the Diamond Body.

Currently, he only had a Diamond Body kidney.

If he possessed a complete Diamond Body, dealing with this level of thunder tribulation should be a walk in the park.

Moreover, just having reached the Golden Core stage brought about such a twisted tribulation; who knows if there will be even more twisted ones in the future.

So having the Diamond Body would be the best option.

But the issue was the treasure chest opening time was too slow and random, who knows if he could even get a complete Diamond Body part.

The system also allowed for the exchange of the Diamond Body, but it cost 100,000,000 exchange points.

How many zeros was that again?

Did they forget to add a decimal point?

In the end, Wang Yue reluctantly realized that he simply didn't have enough merit points!

Damn, he couldn't afford anything!

Just as he was feeling utterly frustrated, the onlookers who had just run away cautiously came back.

They stood at a distance, not daring to approach, staring at the ruins left by the lightning strike, everyone discussing animatedly. "

Holy crap, who did they offend, a real deity? This is just too terrifying!"

"Did they steal the Thunder God's wife? That's why the Thunder God unleashed such fury..."

Just now, it seemed like someone ascended to the sky from afar, then was struck by lightning and fell down.

Is this crossing a tribulation and ascending to immortality?

"That thunderbolt the size of a water bucket, this can no longer be explained by science! Can anyone explain?"

...

Soon, someone discovered Wang Yue and Wang Teng in the ruins.

After confirming there was no danger, they dared to approach.

They surrounded Wang Yue and kept asking:

"Master Wang, what exactly happened?

Can you tell us?"

"Master Wang, are you okay?

I just saw you fighting with that foreigner.

Are you injured?"

"Master Wang, are you a deity?

How come your fortune-telling is so accurate, and your martial arts skills are so high..."

"Master Wang, did you create that huge lightning just now?

What about that foreigner?

Is he dead?"

"Master Wang, where will you live now that your house is gone?

If you don't mind, you can stay at my place. My bed is 2.5 meters wide, you can roll around as much as you want!"

"My bed at home weighs 1000 catties, you can jump on it as much as you want..."

...

Faced with so many questions, Wang Yue's head was spinning.

Fortunately, at this moment, the police arrived.

These police officers were the ones who had come to investigate the cause of the security guard's death just now.

Looking at the villa now turned into ruins, they were not only shocked but also more annoyed...

We just left, and another incident happened?

All because of a traffic jam, the villa turned into ruins?

Oh no, this house must have bad feng shui, attracting evils!

Although they thought so in their hearts, they didn't say it.

Instead, as a matter of routine, they investigated the situation, recorded, and collected evidence.

When they saw the footage of the fight captured by the public and the image of the thunderbolt striking down like a millstone.

The jaws of the officers dropped in shock.

Their gazes towards Wang Yue changed, becoming somewhat cautious.

This is a tough guy!

Being able to fight back against someone who flew into the sky, appearing unharmed – this definitely surpasses the capabilities of humans.

If this person wanted to kill you, who knows if bullets would work on him?

Moreover, they did not carry guns on this outing,

This made them feel uneasy when facing Wang Yue, their minds conflicted.

"Wang Yue, so you're saying you don't know him."

"So, he snuck into your villa himself, intending to harm you, and then you two got into a fight after you found out?"

"And then he got struck by lightning out of nowhere, right?"

Wang Yue nodded and replied, "Yes."

"That Wang Teng can testify."

The two policemen in charge of collecting evidence frowned, feeling like Wang Yue wasn't telling the truth, but they had no evidence.

One of the policemen spoke up, "Alright, do you have anything else to add?"

Wang Yue shook his head and calmly said, "That's it."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

"We will verify the situation you described."

"If you remember anything else that needs to be added, you can call our number."

The two officers finished speaking and glanced at the ruins of Wang Yue's villa, then shook their heads and said, "As for your house, this is the first time we've encountered this situation.

Once we go back and figure out how to handle it, we'll give you a call."

"Okay, thank you."

Finally, the police left.

Wang Yue took one last look at his now-ruined villa, sighed, and left as well.

As the full video was uploaded online, netizens went crazy.

The comments under the video were increasing at an astonishing rate of 3 comments per second.

"Wow!!!

Are you sure this isn't CGI?

Such thick lightning, is that for real?"

"This is the first time I've known that Master Wang not only knows astrology but is also this amazing!!!"

"Is he really a human being?

He just went straight up to the sky!"

"People have always told me to believe in science in the 21st century, can science explain this?"

"So, there are really martial arts masters in the world, then there must be superheroes too, I'm going to fight monsters..."

...

The video went viral, but soon the authorities intervened.

All circulated videos were taken down, or they couldn't be played.

However, this didn't stop netizens' curiosity, and someone ended up sharing the video overseas.

In an instant, foreign netizens' attention was drawn, and they exclaimed:

"Wow, Longguo's special effects technology is getting more and more awesome!

It looks so real, not bad, full marks for the effects..."

...

Thanks to Wang Yue's video online, it stirred up a wave of martial arts craze.

All sorts of martial arts academies, such as the Shaolin Martial Arts Academy, Wudang Mountain Taoist Martial Arts Academy, Tai Chi Martial Arts Academy, Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy...

all kinds of martial arts academies, saw a surge in new students!

The thresholds were all smashed through.

The contemporary academy owners were left in disbelief, unable to contain their laughter.

...

As for the man himself, Wang Yue, he had no idea about all this.

At that moment, he was in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

Having just taken a shower, Wang Yue was wrapped in a towel, bare-shouldered, earnestly studying something on the desk.

If anyone were to take a closer look, they would notice what seemed like a piece of cowhide.

Upon it was a map.

This was the part Yang Yongfan had bitten off of the demon during their fight and fell off together with it.

Wang Yue had retrieved it from the ruins of the villa.

Through Yang Yongfan's fate, he learned that this map held a great secret, stolen from an ancient tomb.
