On this day and night, James Walker experienced a transformation from hell to heaven. First, he stole the Fulong Pill, was deceived by Yun Hailan, then had his martial arts crippled, and was struck by lightning.

Immediately after, amidst the lightning strike, he encountered a tremendous stroke of luck—he actually learned the “Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Strength” qigong, and even received the vital energy of the Thunder Elephant to replenish his cultivation. Now, he had even broken through to the “Violent Qi” realm.

Especially, he felt that his qigong was powerful, far surpassing the initial stage of “Violent Qi.”

Normally, when an expert steps into the fifth level “Violent Qi” realm, although they can project their qigong outward, at most a punch’s force can only make a large tree sway; it’s simply impossible to be so fierce as to break it with a single blow.

Unless one is at the peak of the fifth level “Violent Qi,” with deep cultivation, about to cross into the sixth level “Soldier Qi” realm—where qi condenses into weapons—only then can the Hundred-Step Divine Fist have such ferocious explosive power.

Especially his body—he felt that compared to yesterday, he was twice as strong, as if he had been reborn. With a single stride, his qi burst forth, shattering the rocks beneath his feet—this was the power of qigong!

“Those who mocked me and wanted to see me make a fool of myself could never have imagined that not only did I not become a cripple, but I’ve actually made even greater progress! In three days, the family assembly will be held. At that time, many people will surely try to force my father to step down. I must further strengthen my power.”

James Walker made a silent resolution.

However, he also knew that although he had cultivated to the “Violent Qi” realm and stepped into the ranks of experts, compared to some masters in Yandu City, he was still shallow. For example, the one who crippled his martial arts, “Samuel Reed,” had at least reached the seventh level of qigong, the “Elephant Qi Realm,” able to transform qi into various forms, traverse the air, walk on water, and with a single punch, summon tigers and dragons.

“Hiding my strength is also crucial! I can’t reveal the qigong techniques of Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Strength. It’s better to use the Yang family’s qigong techniques. As for why I recovered so quickly? I’ll attribute it to my aunt.”

Thinking of this, James Walker recalled his aunt. Ten years ago, she was a girl just a little older than him, wearing pigtails, teaching him to practice calligraphy.

His aunt was not actually surnamed Yang; she was an orphan girl adopted by his grandfather. He called her aunt, but she was only three years older than him, more like an older sister.

This little aunt grew up playing with him, but one day when she was about ten, a mysterious person passed through Yandu City and took her away. Later, it was learned that this person was an elder of the “Heavenly Position Academy,” a colossal sect on the Abundant Continent.

After James Walker’s aunt entered the “Heavenly Position Academy,” she occasionally corresponded at first, but for the past five or six years, there had been no news. Even so, everyone in Yandu City knew that the Yang family had such an important figure.

On the Abundant Continent, as a sect, the “Heavenly Position Academy” was a giant, second only to the continent’s rulers, the Sacred Ancestor Dynasty.

The Sacred Ancestor Dynasty practiced a feudal system, not centralization. Various lords governed their own cities with independent laws. Each year, they only needed to pay tribute and make court visits to the Sacred Ancestor Dynasty.

Yandu City was just such a small feudal state. The city lord naturally held absolute power, managing everything. All the noble families in the city were subject to the city lord’s authority. Outside Yandu City, there were also towns, villages, markets, and counties, all under its jurisdiction.

In fact, Yandu City could also be called a small Yan Kingdom.

However, compared to the “Heavenly Position Academy,” Yandu City was far too small—the difference was like that between a rabbit and a fierce tiger.

This time, the reason James Walker was not killed on the spot after stealing the Fulong Pill was also because of his aunt, which made the city lord of Yandu City hesitate.

“Golden Toad Swallows the Moon!”

“Fierce Tiger Leaps the Ravine!”

“Heart-Rending Scream!”

“White Tiger Carries the Corpse!”

Utilizing the abundant qigong within him, James Walker practiced move after move. His body became a blur, appearing in all directions. His internal qigong circulated faster and faster, and the “Thunder Giant Elephant” deep within his dantian’s sea of qi gradually merged its power into his body, generating even more vital energy.

The essence of life continued to grow stronger.

His body was being refined step by step, becoming as tough as steel and iron.

James Walker’s stamina, having been tempered by thunder, was now unbelievably long-lasting.

He threw punch after punch, each one’s force reaching a hundred paces away, piercing through large trees. Some rocks struck by his punches exploded into pieces—utterly fierce.

Ordinary experts at the fifth level of Violent Qi, even if they could shatter rocks from a distance, could not unleash so many consecutive punches—their internal vital energy simply couldn’t last that long.

But James Walker was different. He cultivated the “Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Strength,” a legendary art said to suppress all demons and devils of hell. Not only did it grant immense strength, but it was also the most enduring and profound.

That mass of Thunder Elephant was actually the life essence of a supreme master combined with thunder, merged into his body. Even refining just a little was enough to make his cultivation reach the utmost depths.
