"What, ran away?" When Wang Xiong heard the person's report, he immediately became angry.

Zi Chen had offended many people, so he had to die. If he couldn't kill Zi Chen, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

"Yes, there's no one here since early morning." The person reported back.

"Dammit, he actually left! We have to find him! Contact the outer sect disciples and have them search for him!" Wang Meng shouted in anger.

"Yes."

A few dozen kilometers away from Spirit Martial Sect, there was a huge mountain range. The mountain range was covered with lush green trees, towering high mountains, clear flowing water, and the fragrance of flowers and birds.

The marginal zone had a beautiful scenery. Only a few small beasts roamed about without danger, and in the depths of the forest, there existed Vicious Beasts. It was said that there were even Demonic Beast from the postcelestial stage.

Inside the Spirit Martial Sect, many disciples came here to try their luck, and over time, this nameless primal forest had its own name, the serene dense forest.

On this day, another young man came to serene dense forest wearing black and carrying a baggage on his back. He had arrived at a hill.

The hill was only a few dozen meters tall and beside it were many old trees. A few hundred meters away was a lake, the lake water s were crystal clear and the fish in the water could be seen swimming happily.

The young man was Zi Chen, and after spring, he would be eighteen years old. Walking in the forest, wearing the white robe s was somewhat inconvenient, thus he put on the outer sect disciples' clothes again.

"Not bad, this is the place." Zi Chen was very satisfied with the environment here.

There was food here, and there was also a bulge at the bottom of the hill that was able to block out the wind and rain.

Sitting with his legs crossed and his mind empty, Zi Chen once again entered the Lightning Space.

The youth appeared, bringing with him the true meaning of the Thunder Finger, with a point of his finger, he released a ray of lightning that flew towards Zi Chen at lightning speed. The lightning was ferocious and terrifying, like a Angry Dragon, it exploded on Zi Chen's body and Zi Chen's figure disappeared.

Returning his consciousness, Zi Chen opened his eyes and began to comprehend the Thunder Finger.

The silver light once again surged between the finger. This time, a large half of Zi Chen's finger had turned silver.

With a flash of silver, the finger pointed forward. A hole instantly appeared on a large rock.

"Sigh!" Zi Chen shook his head in disappointment.

Training Thunder Finger during the day, training at night, in this vast and empty place, with an endless amount of wood essence in the surroundings, Zi Chen's cultivation speed also increased a lot.

Every night, Zi Chen would turn into a whirlpool and continuously absorb the wood energy in his surroundings.

In the morning, he washed up by the lake. When he was hungry, he would eat rations. Sometimes, he would even go into the water to catch two fish to improve his food.

Zi Chen's life could be considered quite comfortable.

It was just that he did not know that Wang Xiong had already activated hundreds of outer sect disciples to search for traces of him within a radius of several tens of kilometers from the Spirit Martial Sect.

At the same time, Luo Men was also sponsoring the operation. Whoever found him would be rewarded with a zhenqi Pill.

Thus, even more outer sect disciples left the sect.

Zi Chen's strength and vitality were all steadily increasing, and his comprehension of the Thunder Finger was also becoming deeper and deeper.

In front of Zi Chen, there were many finger holes on the big rock where several people were hugging each other. These were all the products of Zi Chen's failed experiment.

Fifteen days later, his will emerged from the Lightning Space and Zi Chen once again stood next to the boulder, thinking about the previous scene in his mind.

With a point of his finger, a bolt of lightning appeared. Like a Angry Dragon, it flew towards him.

While he was thinking, the zhenqi in his body was already moving, and at the same time, all of Zi Chen's fingertips had turned into silver light. It was just that Zi Chen did not know about these, and was still thinking about the scene in Lightning Space.

The finger subconsciously pointed forward. Suddenly, a piercing sound came out, and a resplendent silver light suddenly appeared from between her fingers, striking towards the large rock in front of Zi Chen.

The silver light landed on a large stone, and with a flash of electricity, a loud explosion followed.

The gigantic stone, held together by several people, had actually exploded into smithereens in that instant. A powerful impact appeared from the front and directly pushed Zi Chen back.

"This is …"

Zi Chen instantly became clear-headed, and looked at the stone fragments in front of him, in disbelief: "Could it be that I succeeded?"

In the previous strike, the dantian's zhenqi had been exhausted by a third.

As the zhenqi surged within his body, Zi Chen struck out once again in pleasant surprise, but this time, there was no change.

"That's not right."

Zi Chen sat cross legged and began to think about the previous scene in his mind. His mind and body were both ethereal and Zi Chen was trying to comprehend it carefully.

Time continued to flow, and one of Zi Chen's insights was the time of day. When the sunset was about to fall on the mountain, Zi Chen finally opened his eyes, and a hint of happiness appeared in his eyes.

"So that's how it is." Zi Chen opened his eyes and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face, "The Thunder Finger, is to transform one's finger into lightning, the surging zhenqi, into a bolt of lightning. The key point is not to transform one's finger into thunder, but to become a zhenqi."

After that, Zi Chen's entire finger had turned into a silver light. If one looked carefully, they would be able to see that within this silver light, there was a flash of lightning.

Zi Chen wanted to test his attack, but when he suddenly saw an old man standing in front of him, he retracted his Qi, and the finger returned to normal.

"Uncle, it's so late. Why are you still here?" Seeing the old man in front of him, Zi Chen asked doubtfully.

This was an old man wearing a coarse cloth hemp cloth. There was not a single point of zhenqi surging around his body, his waist was already bent, his eyes also became a little cloudy, and the wrinkles on his face became even clearer.

The first time Zi Chen saw him, the old man was fishing on the other side of the lake. Zi Chen thought that he had met an expert who was out of this world, but in the end, he found out that this was just an ordinary old man below the mountain.

"I came here early in the morning to chat with you. I didn't expect you to be sitting here motionlessly all day. Little brother, are you cultivating?" Curiosity appeared in the old man's eyes.

"Not really. I was just thinking about a problem." Zi Chen scratched his head and stood up.

"Uncle, did you catch any fish today? If not, I'll catch one from the water." Zi Chen asked.

The old man shook his head and smiled, "Not yet. I've been looking at you all this time. I forgot about it."

"Alright, uncle, wait a moment." After he finished speaking, Zi Chen took off all of his clothes, and his entire body became naked as he jumped into the water. After a while, Zi Chen grabbed onto two more catties of fish and slowly went ashore.

"Uncle, take one to eat at home, and I'll roast the other. Let's eat now." Zi Chen laughed.

"Alright, it's rare for you to be so interested, little brother, I'll sacrifice my life to accompany you." old man laughed and then untied a large gourd on his back.

The old man liked to fish and she also liked to drink. Zi Chen could often see her drinking and fishing.

"Old man, I've said it many times, I'm Zi Chen. Don't call me little brother, you can already be my Grandpa at your age." Zi Chen laughed and took out the short dagger s from the baggage and began to kill the fish skillfully.

You are a friar, I am only a young old man, but my age and status cannot compare to yours. old man sat at the side and drank a mouthful of wine as he smacked his lips and said.

"What friar, they are all just ordinary people, they can't even be compared to normal people." Zi Chen shook his head. After killing the fish, he found some firewood and started to roast the fish.

The fire rose, and the fish were split in half. They were dressed with sticks, and the oil dripped onto the fire, making a sizzling sound.

Zi Chen and old man were chatting.

The heavens drinking, occasionally letting Zi Chen drink a mouthful, caused Zi Chen to cough and the old man to laugh loudly.

old man told Zi Chen some interesting facts about himself, and Zi Chen told him some of his own worries.

"My spot was taken, and I've also provoked a lot of people. I had no choice but to come out, or else I would have been killed in the sect." Zi Chen shook his head and sighed.

old man didn't say anything and just quietly listened. Very quickly, night arrived.

"Aiya, I'm sorry, Uncle. It's already so late, so I'm wasting your time. I'll send you down the mountain." Looking at the color of the sky, Zi Chen said embarrassedly.

Although there were no Vicious Beasts here, there were ferocious beasts. It was true that Zi Chen was not afraid, but old man was just an ordinary person.

"Sigh, I'm old, and my body isn't as strong as before. Back in the days when I was in old man, I was able to capture tigers with all my might." old man shook his head. His blurry eyes lit up, as if he was recalling his youth.

"Uncle, you don't even need to breathe when climbing the mountain. You're not old." Zi Chen laughed as he supported the old man and walked down the mountain.

The two of them were very different ages, but it was as if they were close friends. When they went down the mountain, they didn't forget to chat.

The serene dense forest at night was very dangerous at night, the ferocious beasts and Vicious Beasts would often appear, and when Zi Chen went down the mountain, he saw a tiger blocking his path.

The tiger's roar shook the forest. Violent winds surged, and a fierce tiger over three meters long blocked the path of the two.

"Perfect, I'll use you to test my Thunder Finger." Zi Chen indicated for the old man to stand behind him, and a glint flashed past his eyes.

The zhenqi in his body surged, instantly turning silver in color. With a tap of the finger, a bolt of lightning flew forward.

"Roar!" Sensing the suppressed aura around Zi Chen, the tiger let out a frightened roar, and turned around to flee. However, no matter how fast it was, it could not compare to the speed of lightning.

Boom!

In the midst of the thunderous explosion, a living tiger turned into a pile of black charcoal. The shrill howls of beasts, as well as the sounds of thunder and lightning, resounded throughout the entire dense forest.

Behind Zi Chen, the old man's blurry eyes suddenly flashed with a wisp of light when he saw Zi Chen's finger turning into lightning. The light in his eyes flickered, and replacing it was a face of shock, he said to Zi Chen who had turned around: "Little brother, you're actually so powerful. What was that just now, was it lightning?"
