"The world should revere the power of thunder; its force is the most fierce and domineering, yet ever-changing."

"As novices in the Martial Dao, if we can comprehend the Thunder Dao, we can annihilate all evil in the world, eliminate ferocity and dispel harm, revealing our true selves."

"This is the ultimate offensive power, no less than the Sword Qi you have mastered!"

Lin Haoyang spoke with a grave tone, seemingly very proud of his own Thunder Martial Intent.

Having cultivated the Thunder Martial Dao and stepped into the Divine Illumination Realm, he was unparalleled in offensive capabilities, being the foremost in cultivation within Cyan Profound Mansion!

Chu Nan's mind was shaken. Lin Haoyang's demonstration just now was completely different from when he wielded his Martial Intent in battle, and Chu Nan could sense some unique charm in it.

This charm was extremely profound, yet not elusive.

It was as if an idea had surfaced in Chu Nan's mind, needing just a bit of inspiration to perhaps gradually comprehend the Thunder Martial Intent!

Seeing Chu Nan in a state of contemplation, Lin Haoyang nodded with satisfaction and said, "It took me a full seven years to comprehend the Thunder Martial Intent back in the day. Your talent is exceptional; you might only need three or two years."

"Lin An, in the future, you should learn well from Chu Nan, and don't waste your War Body!"

Although Lin An's War Body hadn't recovered yet, with the Body Shaping Pill, it was only a matter of time.

Hearing this, Lin An was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Father, you've never taught me the Thunder Martial Intent, yet you've taught it to Chu Nan on his second visit."

Upon hearing this, Lin Haoyang laughed heartily, "Your innate talent for cultivation is strong, but your understanding is somewhat lacking. Besides, the Red Phoenix Battle Body resonates with Fire Martial Intent, which I do not possess. How could I teach you?"

Lin An pouted and coldly snorted, then looked at Chu Nan and said, "I think you're my father's real son."

Chu Nan knew Lin An was joking and couldn't help but laugh wryly, then thanked Lin Haoyang, "Thank you, Uncle Lin, for your guidance."

Lin Haoyang waved his hand and said, "This minor matter is hardly worth mentioning; at most, it can only serve as a catalyst for you."

"If you truly wish to comprehend the Thunder Martial Intent, I suggest you visit the War Academy's Scripture Pavilion, where even the lowest Martial Skills are of the Yellow Rank. I believe you can find a suitable Martial Skill there."

"Indeed, I think I should visit the War Academy's Scripture Pavilion," Chu Nan thought, having yet to use the two thousand contribution points he had earned from eradicating the Black Death Gang, perfect for visiting the Scripture Pavilion to see if a suitable Martial Skill could be found.

...

After spending a night at the Mansion Master's residence, Chu Nan returned to the Cyan Profound Martial Academy early the next morning and headed straight for the War Academy Scripture Pavilion.

The Scripture Pavilion had five levels. According to the War Academy manual, the first level contained Yellow Rank Low-Grade Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, the second level housed Yellow Rank Mid-Grade and High-Grade.

The third level had Yellow Rank Ultimate and Profound Rank Low-Grade Techniques.

The fourth level contained at least Profound Rank Mid-Grade Cultivation Techniques, and only a few Divine Light Realm Martial Artists from the academy had the privilege to enter the fifth level, reportedly housing terrifying legacies above the Profound Rank!

Upon reaching the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion, disciples were constantly coming and going from the enormous pavilion.

With his disciple's token, Chu Nan registered his identity and went straight up to the third level.

His cultivation had reached the Yang Wheel Realm, qualifying him to enter the third level to select Martial Skills or Cultivation Techniques; ascending to the fourth level would require at least a Yang Wheel Seventh Layer cultivation.

On reaching the third level, there were significantly fewer cultivation techniques than the previous two levels, and most of the dozens of bookshelves were empty.

There were also fewer disciples selecting techniques here, but Chu Nan didn't mind and began carefully selecting.

His goal this time was Thunder Attribute Martial Skills, preferably a Sword Skill, to maximize his strength.

There weren't many Profound Rank Martial Skills, let alone Thunder Attribute ones, with less than ten to choose from.

"Profound Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill, Wind Thunder Fist, eighteen hundred contribution points, uses wind to obscure vision and confuse the enemy, then bursts with Thunder Attribute for a fatal strike!" Chu Nan examined it for a moment, then decided to pass.

The Thunderous Dominating Fist could still be used for a long time, so there was no need to choose this Wind Thunder Fist.

"Profound Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill, Furious Dragon Thunder Blade..."

This was a sword skill, with notable power, but Chu Nan felt it didn't suit him.

"Thunderbolt Spear Technique..."

Selecting a Martial Skill is extremely important, and Chu Nan had to be cautious.

With less than ten Martial Skills, it took Chu Nan a full hour to make a final decision.

"Thunder Moon Howling Slash is incomplete, originally a Profound Rank Ultimate Martial Skill, now considered Profound Rank Low-Grade due to incompleteness, redeemable for nineteen hundred contribution points!"

According to the description, the Thunder Moon Howling Slash had three forms: Crescent Moon, Full Moon, and Howling Moon.

Mastering the first form allows the perception of Unity of Heaven and Man, molding the Thunder Martial Intent, with the following two forms complementing and perfecting the Sword Skill further.

Once all three forms were mastered, there was a chance for the Martial Skill to ascend by a level!

Regrettably, Cyan Profound Martial Academy only had the first form, Crescent Moon, of the Thunder Moon Howling Slash; the other two forms were long lost, so the remaining form could only be exchanged as a Profound Rank Low-Grade Martial Skill.

Despite having only Crescent Moon, Chu Nan was quite satisfied with this Sword Skill.

Firstly, the Thunder Moon Howling Slash's power was formidable, and more importantly, it directly targeted the Thunder Martial Intent, helping him achieve a quicker comprehension.

Though the two forms were missing, it didn't mean he wouldn't have a chance to find the remaining Full Moon and Howling Moon in the future.

With the power of thunder slicing through the night sky, it surpassed the Thunderous Dominating Fist and even the Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword!

The Sword Qi was fierce, vigorous, and swift, breaking all beneath it!

Chu Nan then went directly to the first level of the Scripture Pavilion, intending to directly exchange for the Thunder Moon Howling Slash.

The custodian of the Scripture Pavilion was an elderly man with a white beard, who remained indifferent, showing the same expression to every disciple.

After Chu Nan expressed his intention, he seized the disciple token and deducted nineteen hundred contribution points, then coldly stated, "Any Cultivation Technique redeemed from the Cyan Profound Martial Academy Scripture Pavilion must not be taught to others."

"If discovered, your cultivation will be abolished, and you'll be expelled from the academy, never to set foot in the Cyan Profound Mansion again!"

Having said that, he handed the Thunder Moon Howling Slash replica to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan nodded and then put away the Thunder Moon Howling Slash, heading straight out of the Scripture Pavilion.

He planned to seclude himself for a few days to cultivate the Thunder Moon Howling Slash to at least its consummate state before coming out.

The difficulty of mastering a Profound Rank Martial Skill couldn't be underestimated, and Chu Nan estimated it would take at least a month without fortuitous encounters to reach the consummate state.

Once consummate, he could take on an academy mission to further deepen his understanding of the Thunder Moon Howling Slash through experience.

But just as he stepped out of the Scripture Pavilion, a group of people pointed at him and quickly approached.

The group consisted of both men and women, all at the Yang Wheel Realm, and most notably, a young man in luxurious robes being escorted by them, whose cultivation had reached the Yang Wheel Sixth Layer!

The features of the richly robed young man seemed somewhat familiar to Chu Nan, vaguely sensing that the visitor had ill intentions!
