Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Time passed quietly. At first, Chu Hao didn't gain any understanding. Even though the Sword Intent was vast, he couldn't grasp even the slightest clue.

But he wasn't in a hurry. This was the understanding of a War Emperor regarding Sword Dao. If he could comprehend it immediately, wouldn't he also become a War Emperor?

Not to mention comprehending, even if he only understood a tiny bit, it would greatly enhance his swordsmanship.

Chu Hao was not greedy. He just wanted to use the Sword Intent here to master the entire Mad Thunder Sword Technique.

This Sword Technique had a total of five moves: Thunderclap Miles, Heavenly Thunder Strike, Thunder Dragon's Roar, Thundercloud Density, and Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation. He had currently mastered two forms, and the second one was only comprehended in a life-and-death battle with You Zhiyuan.

These five Sword Techniques should have increasing power, or else, why was he able to comprehend the first two forms but not the last three?

Chu Hao held the worn-out book, continuously rotating it, letting the third form of the Mad Thunder Sword Technique flow through his mind.

In his mind, every detail of the third form had been derived, but the problem was, when he tried to perform it, he always felt something was missing, and everything felt awkward.

He was patient. After all, he wasn't wasting time. Every day, he would spend three hours expanding his meridians. If he could master Thunder Dragon's Roar, he would have the confidence to face Chai Kang head-on.

——Without the Jade Seal!

The Jade Seal, after all, wasn't his own strength. If he kept relying on external items, his growth would be extremely limited.

After comprehending for a while each day, he would take out the Deep Blue Sword and practice. Although his current swordsmanship might seem utterly ridiculous, he could feel that he was making progress every day.

Small bits add up to a mountain. One day, there will be a qualitative change.

Five days later, someone arrived in Chu Hao's area. Like him, they practiced for three hours a day, then comprehended Sword Intent, occasionally taking out their treasured sword to practice a few moves.

It was a young and beautiful woman, not only with exceptional looks but also a figure that could make people drool, with a slender waist and ample bosom, and long, straight legs that aroused a strong desire to commit a crime.

Chu Hao only glanced at her once before looking away. Where did he have time to waste on romantic matters now?

Although he had two Snow Toad Pills as a safety net, he only had two years and nine months left. Moreover, in less than six months, the new Fledgling Dragon List selection would take place. He had great ambitions to meet those geniuses on the list.

He ignored the beauty, and the beauty ignored him. The two practiced separately without interfering with each other.

However, as they were both in the same area, it was inevitable that they would occasionally see what the other person was doing.

Especially since Chu Hao was practicing Thunder Dragon's Roar, which involved extremely awkward and bizarre movements. Someone who didn't know the details would think he was deliberately acting like a clown to attract attention.

The beauty also thought Chu Hao was deliberately using such moves to get her attention and naturally wouldn't give him a good look. Every time their eyes met, she showed a look of disgust.

Chu Hao didn't care. After spending so much time here, he finally felt the benefits brought by the Sword Intent.

An indescribable understanding deepened his comprehension of Sword Dao.

If someone had been watching him all this time, they would have noticed his aura changing constantly. It was like an unsheathed treasured sword, exuding a terrifying aura capable of slicing everything.

Chu Hao's movements gradually became smoother. He finally gained enough understanding of Thunder Dragon's Roar to forge his own path.

But every day, he had to constantly resist Sword Qi here. Even though the Sword Intent at a Sword Emperor Level had mostly dissipated, the remaining trace still exerted tremendous pressure on a Martial Sect disciple.

His body had to resist Sword Qi, and his Divine Sense had to resist Sword Intent. After half a month, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

He could at most persist here for another five or six days.

He had to master Thunder Dragon's Roar within these few days!

Chu Hao said to himself, his expression focused and undistracted.

The beauty in the distance couldn't help but be surprised. Although she looked towards Chu Hao no more than five times a day, with her exceptional talent, could she not see Chu Hao's progress?

It turned out that the previously awkward and clownish movements weren't meant to attract her attention, but this guy was practicing a sword technique.

With that misunderstanding gone, her impression of Chu Hao naturally changed entirely.

Chu Hao's understanding of Thunder Dragon's Roar deepened. Three days later, with a swing of his sword, sizzling electric currents flashed wildly, vaguely forming a white thunder dragon at the tip of the sword.

However, as soon as the thunder dragon formed, it immediately exploded with a snap, disintegrating into countless particles of electric energy.

Another failure.

Chu Hao shook his head, but his eyes showed no trace of disappointment. This was a significant advancement, as he had never formed a thunder dragon before.

He kept trying, and the thunder dragon continued to grow, lasting longer each time.

So that's how it is!

He suddenly realized that, strictly speaking, Thunder Dragon's Roar and Crescent Slash had similar principles. Crescent Slash compressed the inner Star Force into a solid form and launched it, while Thunder Dragon's Roar?

Using one's own Star Force as a medium to trigger the Thunder Element in the world, similarly compressing and condensing it, and with one strike, the thunder dragon would still contain one's own Star Force, allowing further control, much like Crescent Slash.

The difference lay in the combination of one's Star Force and the Thunder Element, making it even more powerful.

Therefore, the Mad Thunder Sword Technique could become a Heavenly Level Martial Art after understanding the Intent Realm, right?

Chu Hao speculated, believing it to be quite plausible.

The first form, Thunderclap Miles, won with the subtlety of its moves, while the second form, Heavenly Thunder Strike, required condensing the Thunder Element, making it more powerful. The third form further allowed control over the operation of the thunder on the foundation of Heavenly Thunder Strike.

Was it transitioning from moves to intent?

However, because of this, the third form of the Mad Thunder Sword Technique didn't emphasize forms. The sword style existed to form the thunder dragon, and the dragon's movements were entirely controlled by the practitioner.

Interesting.

Another day later, the thunder finally fully formed.

Chu Hao stood facing a cliff, raising his right hand, the Deep Blue Sword in hand. His expression solemn, the long sword danced, and Thunder Dragon's Roar took shape.

Sizzling, the power of the thunder went wild, forming a ball of electricity at the tip of the sword. In an instant, the ball grew ten times larger, changing shape into a thunder dragon.

The thunder dragon continued to grow, but when it reached three meters, Chu Hao couldn't sustain it anymore.

"Go!" He lightly shouted, swinging his long sword. The thunder dragon fiercely crashed into the cliff.

Boom!

With a loud thunderous sound, the entire mountain trembled violently. The earth groaned, forming cracks, and the thunder broke through the cliff, blasting a massive deep hole.

Dust filled the air, and rocks flew wildly.

When everything settled, Chu Hao was surprised to find that more than half of the cliff opposite him had vanished.

If the cliff were compared to a cake, then this strike from Chu Hao was like scooping out a piece with a spoon, and quite a large piece at that.

Chu Hao was tongue-tied. If he didn't use the Mad Thunder Sword Technique, the destruction from one strike would be at most one-tenth of this.

Terrifying, truly terrifying. Not just the power of this strike, but also the fact that the thunder dragon could still be controlled after being unleashed, like a guided bullet. Who could withstand that?

Clap clap clap, applause came from a distance.

Chu Hao turned his head to see the beauty who had been his neighbor for several days.

"Zhuo Yunshan from Tonghua Valley greets you, Brother!" The beauty bowed slightly, her eyebrows like a painting, her gaze sparkling.

Chu Hao sheathed his Deep Blue Sword, returned the greeting, and said, "I am Chu Hao, greetings Miss Zhuo."

"I am Chu Hao?" Zhuo Yunshan was taken aback. Such a young talent was actually a Loose Cultivator? Otherwise, when she introduced herself, Chu Hao should have mentioned his sect or family, but he only said "I."

However, she was clever and didn't pursue this point. She smiled and said, "Today's martial arts are truly blossoming, full of talents. From Brother Chu's strike just now, you are definitely at the Fledgling Dragon List level, and at least in the top 30. Yet Yunshan has never heard of Brother Chu's name before. I wonder how many outstanding newcomers will emerge in this year's Fledgling Dragon List?"

Chu Hao smiled and said, "Just a little display!"

"Brother Chu, you've been here for so many days, and you're probably reaching your limit, right? Why not accompany Yunshan to Red Maple City? In a few days, Yunshan will host a tea ceremony event to discuss the mysteries of martial arts as a warm-up for the upcoming Fledgling Dragon List competition. Would Brother Chu be interested?"

Chu Hao thought for a moment. Indeed, as Zhuo Yunshan said, he had been here for too long, reaching his limit physically and mentally. Now that he had learned Thunder Dragon's Roar, he had achieved his goal.

First, return to Red Maple City for a few days' rest, then come back here to practice the fourth and fifth forms of the Mad Thunder Sword Technique.

Having made up his mind, he smiled and said, "It would be my honor to be invited by Miss Zhuo."

"Please!"

"Please!"

The two of them descended the mountain together. Along the way, whenever people saw Zhuo Yunshan, they couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and awe, and looked at Chu Hao with envy.
