"Cultivating martial arts is much better than climbing the Sky Stairway, one step at a time."

"Right now, most of you are standing between the first and third step of the Mortal Origin Stage. The first thing you need to do is to absorb the heaven and earth origin energy into your body and fuse it with your physical body, creating Yuan Power …"

Green Thunder City, Ling Family's Martial Arts Practice Field.

A Sect Leader of the Martial Arts Academy was in the middle of lecturing on martial arts when he suddenly stopped. His tone became much more severe and said:

You are all from the side branch of the Ling Family. If you are unable to break through to the first level of the Mortal Origin Stage before the martial competition in one month's time, you and your parents will be expelled from the Ling Family.

Among the Ling Family disciples below, there was a handsome youth around sixteen years old. When he heard the instructor's words, his face paled and he gritted his teeth.

His name was Ling Yun.

He was the person that the head of the martial arts school called 'disappointing'.

Ling Yun was born in a remote branch of the Ling Family. Because his bone roots were not bad, he was selected to enter the Ling Family in Blue Thunder City. Even his parents were accepted into the Ling Family.

In the distant branch that Ling Yun belonged to, this was a famous story.

However, the reality was cruel. Lingyun was born humble, and his parents could not provide him with any cultivation resources. As a result, he had been unable to break through to the first level of the Mortal Origin Stage for a long time.

Seeing the other branch members using elixirs and precious medicines to break through, Lingyun was extremely anxious.

If he couldn't reach the first level of the Mortal Origin Stage within a month, then he and his parents would be driven back to that destitute branch of his.

Ling Yun would never allow such a thing to happen!

"The duration of one month … I must become a martial artist and rise above the masses within a month's time! "

The hundreds of Ling Family disciples in the training field disbanded with a loud bang. Just as Ling Yun was about to leave the training field, he was suddenly blocked by a group of people.

There was another person, Ling Sheng's younger brother. His name was Ling Qi, and he was also at the second level of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Amongst the Ling Family's branch disciples of the same generation, they were all ranked at the top.

Ling Qi pointed at Ling Yun's nose and scolded: "Everyone look at this trash, his face is downcast, ha-ha ha, does he not look like a homeless dog?"

Ling Sheng replied disdainfully: "You dare to snatch a woman from big brother Ling Yu just for this piece of trash. You overestimate yourself!"

"Brat, you better stay away from Ling Yu. Although you're from the same branch and can be considered childhood friends, she has already broken through to the Mortal Origin Stage with the help of big brother Ling Yu. She is not from the same world as you."

Hearing the name "Ling Yuying", Ling Yun laughed at himself.

Ling Yuying had grown up together with Ling Yun, and was also selected to join the Ling Family in the Azure Thunder City. She could be said to be a bamboo horse, but she chose to leave Ling Yun, attaching herself to the powerful Ling Family's side branch: Ling Yu.

Equivalency changes the heart of the storyteller, but the heart of the storyteller changes.

Lingyun's face became slightly darker. He clenched his fists in humiliation, and walked around the people who were looking for trouble, and headed out.

Behind him, Ling Sheng, Ling Qi, and the others let out ear-piercing laughter.

"Big brother, this piece of trash has been going to the Azure Thunder Mountain Range for a long time. I want to see what happens next!" Ling Qi's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said to Ling Sheng.

"Okay, you go. If this trash is still not giving up, then let's send him off! "

… ….

The Azure Thunder Mountain Range was situated right beside the Azure Thunder City. It was a thousand miles long and wide, and because of this, the name of this mountain range would often have terrifying thunderbolts cascading down from it.

Ling Yun left the Ling Family and carefully went into hiding as he walked towards the outskirts of the Azure Thunder Mountain Range.

He knew very well that without cultivation resources, he wouldn't be able to break through to the first level of the Mortal Origin Stage in a month.

Now, all of his hopes were placed on that spot …

Several hours later, Lingyun arrived at the entrance of the Azure Thunder Mountain Range.

The valley was a sea of charred land, charred trees, and littered with large animal skeletons.

This was a lightning valley.

He walked in front of the skeleton of an animal and carefully removed the camouflage layers, revealing a purplish black herb underneath.

Thunder Yuan Grass! And after several months of absorbing the lightning energy within the lightning valley, the Thunder Source Grass had finally matured.

The Heavens did not disappoint those who had put in effort.

A few months ago, Ling Yun searched through this area and found a precious spiritual herb in this lightning valley. Now, it was finally the time for him to reap the harvest.

With this precious spiritual herb, Lingyun was confident that he could break through to the first level of the Mortal Origin Stage!

Lingyun could not hide his excitement. He stretched out his trembling hands and was about to pluck the Thunder Yuan Grass.

"Stop right there!"

A ruthless voice suddenly exploded not far away, and right after, Ling Qi's figure appeared in Ling Yun's line of sight.

"It's you!" "Follow me!" Lingyun only felt a chill that went from his head to his soles.

Even though Ling Yun was already very careful, Ling Qi was a warrior at the second level of the Mortal Origin Stage. It would be too easy for him to follow an ordinary person who had not stepped into the Mortal Origin Stage.

Ling Qi's eyes swept across the Thunder Yuan Grass and greed flashed across his eyes. He laughed sinisterly, "Haha, you never thought of that! Your painstaking efforts to find the Thunder Yuan Grass actually gave me the opportunity to do so. You must be thinking of making use of the Thunder Yuan Grass to break through, right?

"What are you trying to do!" Ling Yun was shocked.

Ling Qi was a martial practitioner at the second level of the Mortal Origin Stage, and had a strength comparable to a vicious beast. As for Ling Yun, he wasn't even at the first level of the Mortal Origin Stage.

If Ling Qi had wanted to kill him, he would not have been able to retaliate at all.

"What do I want? Of course it will end your life, but, I won't kill you myself, in case you get into any unnecessary trouble, there will always be lightning strikes in this lightning valley, and those black lightning bolts are just like conductive lightning pillars. I only need to break your four limbs and throw you under the lightning tree, and very soon, you will be burnt into charcoal by the lightning strikes! "

"I'll kill you!" A life and death crisis was right in front of him. Ling Yun didn't care about the huge gap in strength between the two, and threw a ferocious punch towards Ling Qi without fear of death.

Ling Family Basic Martial Technique: Reckless Bull Fist.

Although Lingyun had yet to break through to the Mortal Origin Stage, he was already familiar with this technique and could release hundreds of pounds of power.

"Too weak." Ling Qi gave a disdainful sneer, "Accept your fate!"

Ling Qi let out a loud shout, and smashed Ling Yun's fist with his fist. Suddenly, an irresistible force came out, and almost broke all the bones in Ling Yun's body.

Ling Yun's body flew outwards, and crashed into a burnt black lightning tree. Ling Qi's previous punch had already crippled his muscles and bones, causing him to lose the ability to move.

"Haha!" You can just wait for death in this godforsaken place. "

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ling Qi, I will kill you! " Ling Yun let out an extremely unwilling roar, like an injured beast.

Under Ling Yun's overflowing hatred, Ling Qi plucked the Thunder Yuan Grass and left …

"Sizzle!"

Dark clouds covered the sky and the sky darkened. Streaks of lightning tore through the sky above the lightning valley.

Under Ling Yun's despairing gaze, a thick bolt of lightning tore apart the dark clouds and plummeted towards him …

What Ling Yun did not know was that within the lightning that was as thick as a dragon python, a voice actually came out: "Let him be."

… ….
