Chapter 2720 Superficial Understanding
Jared didn’t notice Julius’ shocked facial expression as his attention was fully focused on the ancient book. The obscure and difficult-to-understand beast race language became easily decipherable to Jared.
As he delved deeper into the texts, his astonishment intensified. Without realizing it, Jared began to practice the technique with one hand while holding the ancient book with the other.
He waved his palm gently, and afterimages appeared instantaneously. Immediately afterward, streaks of light began to flicker on the ancient book and flowed into Jared’s mind. Those streaks of light morphed into a human figure cultivating various palm techniques.
At that sight, Jared began to flip through the pages more rapidly. As he did so, the figure in his mind moved faster and faster. In the end, Jared managed to use a very short period to finish reading the thick ancient book.
Then, he replaced the book and slightly raised his palms, unleashing an aura that broke through the roof of the imperial library and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Rumble! A thunderous boom echoed, and a giant handprint materialized in midair. A brewing thunderstorm was clearly featured on the handprint.
As the handprint descended, the wind howled, and gales erupted. A bolt of heavenly thunder abruptly struck down from the sky, hitting a hill and instantly smashing it to smithereens, turning the
area into a flattened ground. A look of excitement filled Jared’s eyes. As the aura within him continued to surge, the image of the massive handprint grew sharper and clearer.
“Mr. Chance!” Julius immediately shouted at Jared when he sensed that terrifying aura. Jared shuddered and swiftly returned to his senses. He quickly withdrew his aura, and that giant handprint soon vanished.
“This Thunder Palm is incredible!” Jared couldn’t help but sigh while gazing at his hands. Julius stared at Jared in shock and incredulity. “Mr. Chance, not only did you break the seal, but you also learned Thunder Palm in such a short time. You’re truly a genius among geniuses!”
“This Thunder Palm is ever-changing and unpredictable. Although there is only one move, it can be infinitely modified. Furthermore, what I’ve grasped is just the superficial part of it. I’m certain its power will be greater as I gain better mastery and understanding of it,” Jared said excitedly.
Julius was astounded. The power unleashed by just the superficial understanding of this technique is already so remarkable!
The disturbance just now had caught Yuven’s attention, prompting him to hurriedly lead a group of his subordinates to the imperial library.
However, after being informed that the commotion was caused by Jared opening the ancient book and acquiring the Thunder Palm technique, rather than reprimanding Julius, Yuven was delighted.
“You mastered Thunder Palm so effortlessly, Mr. Chance. It seems that this ancient book that has been stored here for so many years has been awaiting your arrival,” Yuven said in exhilaration.
“What I’ve learned is only the basics. I need to cultivate further and gain a deeper insight into this technique. I shall not stay here any longer to entertain all of you.” With that, Jared hastened back to his residence.
Sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, Jared immersed himself in mastering the techniques of Thunder Palm, taking his time to explore the skill. “If I combine the demonic fire within me with Thunder Palm, will it increase Thunder Palm’s potency?”
All of a sudden, the idea popped into Jared’s mind, and he began to experiment. However, even after many attempts, he still failed to merge demonic fire and Thunder Palm.
Perhaps my understanding of Thunder Palm isn’t sufficiently extensive. Maybe I can achieve the fusion only after I fully master Thunder Palm. By then, the fusion of Thunder Palm and demonic fire will result in a massive handprint that is engulfed in demonic fire appearing in the sky. The spectacle will be unimaginable. At that time, each strike of heavenly thunder will be laced with blazing flames, capable of reducing everything in its path into ashes!
