Moreover, using this skill is very troubleso. It requires constantly using Primordial Qi to manipulate the airflow to control cumulonimbus clouds hundreds of ters high, barely summoning lightning. However, the lightning strike point is sothing he cannot control, only roughly guessing its direction.
So this skill also involves an elent of luck.
Wang Ye stared at the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, attempting to use the Thunder Skill again.
Although his Primordial Qi was now more than ten tis greater than before, and his ans of controlling the airflow were much more skillful.
But seemingly due to insufficient luck, he tried several tis but still didn’t succeed once.
Wang Ye gritted his teeth and then controlled his body to fly up,
He kept floating upwards, increasing the distance between himself and the ground.
From 10 ters it beca 100 ters, and then 200 ters.
The distance between him and the cumulonimbus clouds got closer and closer.
This distance is extrely dangerous, as it could attract a lightning strike at any mont.
But Wang Ye was not worried about being struck by lightning. After acquiring the Vajra Indestructible Skill, his defense was already enough to withstand being roasted at thousands of degrees for extended periods. Even being enveloped by the 10,000-degree heat of lightning in an instant would not pose a life-threatening risk.
Once the distance between Wang Ye and the cumulonimbus was only 100 ters, he began to operate his Primordial Qi with all his might, controlling the movent of the cumulonimbus clouds. The principle of summoning lightning, in short, is controlling cloud layers of different electric charges to collide and rub against each other, inducing lightning. The thunder is the result of the heated, expanding air pushing against the surrounding atmosphere, creating a strong explosive vibration.
The principle is simple, but controlling the airflow and cloud masses is not so straightforward.
He needed to micromanage the airflow constantly, drawing the cumulonimbus clouds closer together.
Until they released lightning and thunder.
Crackle——
A streak of electric light suddenly shot out from the dark cloud.
The next mont, a pillar of electricity struck down instantly.
Wang Ye’s pupils shrank because he saw that the electric pillar was heading straight for him!
Before he could think much, the electric pillar instantly enveloped him.
The intense burning sensation spread across his skin instantly.
Boom!!!
A mont or two later, Wang Ye’s eardrums felt as though they had been hit by an intense shock, nearly bursting. His internal organs and muscles gradually felt the heat’s erosion, sending signals of intense pain to his brain.
With his Primordial Qi exhausted, Wang Ye plumted toward the ground on the spot. After a few seconds of free fall, he landed with a "boom" in the wilderness.
Wang Ye lay sprawled on the ground, involuntarily hissing and inhaling sharply.
His whole body was trembling uncontrollably, proving that he was enduring severe pain.
Moreover, so visible burn marks appeared on the surface of his skin. But since the burns weren’t deep enough to damage the sensory nerves, he could still directly feel that piercing pain.
But in the next mont, the burns on his skin began to heal rapidly, and three minutes later they were practically healed. Struggling, he got up, coughing twice, "Played too hard... damn, it actually struck ."
If an ordinary person were struck by lightning at such a close range, they’d likely either die on the spot or beco a vegetable.
But Wang Ye, with his tough skin and thick flesh, was struck by lightning and then fell from hundreds of ters high,
Taking two severe hits, he was still only mildly injured.
"However... it’s been a long ti since I suffered injuries of this magnitude..."
Wang Ye rubbed his aching back, muttering. Since he acquired the Vajra Indestructible Skill, even an electric drill couldn’t penetrate his skin, and he couldn’t be burned even while standing barefoot in a fire pit. So body refining beca increasingly difficult.
But the lightning just now directly left him with burns all over.
"Wait a mont... could it be that lightning can also temper the body?" Wang Ye had a sudden inspiration and imdiately called up the system panel. He found that in the system panel, the Skill Level of Vajra Indestructible had soared in the lightning tempering just now to match several days of training progress!
"It really works!" Wang Ye’s face showed uncontrollable joy. He hadn’t expected that a simple playful attempt would allow him to discover a level-up bug!
If lightning can also temper the body, then maybe he can utilize the local thunderstorms in xico these days to enhance his Vajra Indestructible Skill Level!
Thinking of this, Wang Ye sat cross-legged to recover for a while, then continued his attempt at lightning tempering.

A few days later.
As the hurricane speed in the Gulf of California kept increasing, the rainfall also beca heavier.
The heavy rain poured down on the wilderness roads of the Gulf of California all day, and so lower-lying roads were even subrged, making it impossible for trucks to drive normally. Driving a little further would encounter accumulated water in the sunken sections, impeding normal passage.
Forcing through might cause the engine to stall due to being subrged.
Fortunately, Wang Ye’s Running ability was excellent, so on days when driving wasn’t feasible, he would run to the beach for Surfing training.
But this made life hard for those in the Red Bull Challenge Team. Although their accommodation was near the beach, it ant that their daily activities were heavily impacted by the ocean waves. Their sleep was disturbed every night by the terrifying waves, and during high tides, the seawater could flood their accommodation, forcing them to relocate.
Even training couldn’t proceed normally. The waves were extraordinarily agitated under the storms, and even the small yacht Li Weimin brought was flooded several tis, nearly sinking, causing a loss of tens of thousands.
Carlos and the others increasingly envied Wang Ye’s physique. Despite the terrifying environntal conditions, Wang Ye could still carry his surfboard safely out to over thirty or forty ters from shore and surf back to the beach as usual. It seed as though neither the environnt nor the towering waves could faze him.
And through such training, Wang Ye’s technique beca more refined.
His Surfing skill broke through to lv5, gaining a new Trait——
[Wave Rider: While on waves, speed increases by 10%]
This Trait, though not widely applicable, significantly boosted Wang Ye’s diving speed while surfing, making him even more adept than before. Regardless of the height of the giant waves or the crashing points, none could catch up with his diving speed.
After maxing out his Surfing Skill, Wang Ye didn’t slack off. Instead, he continued to hone his technique, making his Surfing Skill more proficient to increase his success rate in challenging the Life of Water.
As days went on, more and more Wang Ye fans arrived in xico to watch the challenge in person. Several tis, when Wang Ye left the hotel to head to Cortes Beach for training, enthusiastic fans would approach for a photo.
However, this didn’t affect his training. His fans were very considerate, knowing Wang Ye was about to attempt an extre challenge. They didn’t interfere much with his daily training and life, and at most would watch from the shore during his training sessions.
Ti moved on to October 20th.
Morning.
Eight o’clock.
Wang Ye stood outside the hotel, wearing a windbreaker, standing like a mountain in the midst of a terrifying hurricane storm. He extended his hand, feeling the wind speed, and his eyes slowly beca grave.
If the wind speed was only 100 kiloters per hour the first day he arrived at the Gulf of California,
then today’s wind speed had surpassed 300 kiloters per hour, far exceeding the standard wind speed for a category five hurricane.
The terrifying hurricane nearly uprooted trees and vegetation along the road.
The sea, already tumultuous, beca even more frightening under the influence of the gale and torrential rain.
Surging waves could even reach the fishing villages several kiloters away, destroying so local buildings.
At that mont, Li Weimin stood behind Wang Ye, looking at the hurricane storm outside the hotel, and said in a low voice:
"Wang Ye, if you are going to challenge the Life of Water, today should be the day."
