King of Creation

After scouting the location half a day at Thunder Ridge, Ye Zhen finally selected a tree stump with a diameter of one zhang in a corner of the central part of Thunder Ridge as the first spot for his practice of the Thunder Secret Technique of Fright.

This tree stump was charred black by the thunder light, its surface completely carbonized. Roughly every sixty breaths, lightning would strike down from the sky onto the stump, stirring up a whiff of blue smoke.

The frequency of sixty breaths was very stable, perfectly suitable for Ye Zhen, who was just beginning his practice of the Heavenly Thunder of Fright.

Of course, most importantly, after observing for nearly two hours, Ye Zhen noted that within a ten-meter radius of this tree stump, there was no other lightning strike. It wouldn’t cause any accidental injuries!

This was crucial for Ye Zhen, as an unintended lightning strike during practice could prove fatal if the consequences were severe.

Moreover, within a four or five-mile radius around this tree stump, there was no trace of any martial artists, making it an excellent place for Ye Zhen to practice in tranquility.

Having cleared all iron objects from his body, Ye Zhen sat cross-legged three meters away from the tree stump and took a large box of ointment from his storage ring, slowly stripping off his clothes to bare his upper body.

Then, Ye Zhen began to apply the large box of ointment onto his body. At the same time, he activated the spiritual power within him and, according to the special method in the Thunder Secret Technique of Fright, condensed the ointment.

This ointment was called Lightning-avoiding Ointment, a secret recipe mentioned in the Thunder Secret Technique of Fright, vitally important for practicing the Second Stage.

Without this Lightning-avoiding Ointment, attempting to introduce Heavenly Thunder into the body was akin to seeking death.
