"Transform your body into thunder, and command it with your heart!"
As Lin Feng looked at the final image, the swirling patterns in front of him suddenly converged, forming eight ancient silver-glowing characters suspended in the air.
His eyes locked onto those eight silver characters, and after a moment of contemplation, Lin Feng seemed to gain a sudden insight.
As his mind moved, the wisp of refined wind and thunder force within his body rapidly split apart into streams of lightning.
These streaks of electricity wrapped themselves around the surface of his body.
Suddenly, all that lightning surged downward, gathering around his lower legs.
From the knees down, both of his legs were entirely enveloped in silver light.
Lowering his head to examine the silver glow coiled around his feet, Lin Feng recalled one of the figures from the visualization.
Then, leaning forward slightly, his body suddenly burst into motion, transforming into a flash of light as he shot out from his original spot.
"Whoosh—"
With a faint sound tearing through the air, Lin Feng had already appeared several li away.
"So strong. As expected of one of the core Dou Techniques of Wind Lightning Pavilion. If I had this movement technique back when I wiped out the Eight Gates, combined with my Purple Cloud Wings, I could've seriously injured or even killed that Yuan Yi all by myself."
Turning back to look at where he had just stood, Lin Feng shifted his legs slightly, his tone filled with excitement.
Three Thousand Lightning Movement was divided into three stages: Lightning Flash, Instant Lightning, and Three Thousand Lightning.
Right now, he hadn't even truly stepped into the Lightning Flash stage, yet his speed had already improved drastically. If he managed to master the final stage…
With his current cultivation at the peak of Five-Star Dou Wang, even a Five-Star Dou Huang might struggle to keep up with his speed.
Of course, that was assuming the opponent didn't possess a high-class movement Dou Technique themselves.
Still, considering he had just begun learning it, Lin Feng didn't get complacent. His figure flickered, and with arcs of lightning dancing around him, he darted toward the swampy land nestled between two mountain ridges below.
That area, compared to others, was undoubtedly the most suitable place to cultivate Three Thousand Lightning Movement.
In the gorge between the mountains, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on a rocky outcrop, his breathing slow and steady.
The surrounding natural Dou Qi, drawn by an unseen force, surged toward his seemingly thin frame.
Suddenly, his green robes fluttered wildly, and a burst of energy exploded outward from his body, rippling in every direction.
"In one month's time, not only did I cultivate Three Thousand Lightning Movement to the Lightning Flash level, but I've also broken through to Six-Star Dou Wang."
Clenching his fists, a faint smile appeared on his face.
If everything went according to plan, then in just over half a year, the Fallen Heart Flame would break free of its seal.
And that backstabbing bastard Han Feng would undoubtedly show up to seize the Heavenly Flame.
That moment would be his perfect opportunity to take Flame Mantra from Xiao Yan.
Before then, the stronger his Dou Qi foundation became, the more confident he would feel.
As he pondered, Lin Feng leapt down from the rock, used Dou Qi to shake the dust off his clothes, and flew off toward Spirit Mountain City.
Meanwhile, inside Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, the head of the Treasure-Selling Division, Pang Sheng, was nervously presenting a report to the beautiful woman seated in the main chair.
"Pavilion Madam, this is the recent business performance of the sales department."
Several other department heads followed suit, each cautiously handing in their respective reports.
Initially, they had assumed this seductive "Pavilion Madam" was just a favored concubine of the Pavilion Master.
So none of them had really taken her seriously.
They treated her orders with casual indifference at best.
But later, they realized they had been terribly wrong—disastrously wrong.
This alluring Pavilion Madam... was actually far more terrifying than their Pavilion Master himself.
After all, their Pavilion Master couldn't just wave his hand and leave a Dou Wang expert seriously injured!
Every time they recalled that scene, cold sweat would bead on their backs.
Judging by her strength, this Pavilion Madam had to be at least a high-level Dou Huang.
Moreover, she wasn't just strong—she was ridiculously strong.
Ever since they had been harshly disciplined by her that one time, all of them had behaved more obediently than rabbits, not daring to step out of line even slightly.
"Has your Pavilion Master returned yet?"
After flipping through the reports, Medusa casually raised her eyes, asking as if it were an afterthought.
"Pavilion Madam, the Pavilion Master has not returned yet. However, there's no need to worry—he mentioned before that he'd be back in a month, so he should be returning soon."
Seeing how the others around him had all silently taken a few steps back, Pang Sheng could only brace himself and step forward to answer.
If they actually knew where the Pavilion Master was right now, they'd probably sprint out this very second and carry him back on their shoulders.
After all, compared to this terrifying Pavilion Madam before them… their Pavilion Master was practically a saint.
"Tch. Who's worried about him? I'm just too lazy to manage this pile of nonsense myself."
With a soft snort, Medusa lightly closed the folder with her slender jade-like fingers.
Just then, a faint whooshing sound of something breaking through the air came from outside the door, followed by a familiar voice that the entire department had been longing to hear:
"Queen, I'm back."
"Pavilion Master!"
"Heavens, the Pavilion Master is finally back!"
Seeing Lin Feng step into the main hall, Pang Sheng and the other department heads rushed forward excitedly, their faces glowing with joy.
"Uh…"
Seeing his subordinates so overly enthusiastic, Lin Feng was momentarily speechless. I've only been gone for a month, and they're acting like they've seen the messiah…
"What's this? Judging by your reactions, are you saying my management over the past month has been inadequate?"
Seeing the situation unfold, Medusa narrowed her alluring eyes slightly. Though her voice was calm, there was an unmistakable undercurrent of killing intent.
At those words, all the department heads froze instantly, cold sweat immediately dripping down their backs.
They quickly bowed and stammered, "Pavilion Madam, no, absolutely not! We were just… just really missing the Pavilion Master, that's all!"
With their very lives on the line, their expressions became more animated than ever.
"Enough. There's nothing more for you to do here. You're all dismissed."
Waving her hand, Medusa spoke with clear impatience in her tone.
"Yes, yes! Then we'll take our leave and not disturb the reunion of the Pavilion Master and his wife!"
With that, the group of terrified department heads scrambled to flee the hall.
"…She really is the Queen of the Snake-People. In just one month, she's trained them into submission like a group of scared bunnies."
Lin Feng couldn't help but be amazed internally, then turned to Medusa with curiosity. "Queen, why are they calling you…"
"Shut up. That's just them talking nonsense. If it weren't for the fact that they're your subordinates, I would've wiped them out already."
Cutting him off quickly, Medusa turned her head slightly, for some reason refusing to meet his gaze.
"Yes, yes, the Queen is right. It's all their fault. I'll make sure to tell them to be more careful next time."
Having spent so much time together, Lin Feng had long since figured out Medusa's temper. He immediately went along with her mood and nodded obediently.
Then, changing the subject, he said with a smile, "Queen, you've worked hard lately. I've got some free time today—how about we go out and take a walk together?"
Saying that, he gently took her hand and led her toward the door.
