Assassination System

An inhumane howl reverberated across the entire forest. The surrounding beasts hurriedly dispersed when they felt the surging uncontestable might of a Divine Ascendance Realm Elder.

If one looked from a bird's eye view. One could see that only this part of the forest had a jet-black patch of clouds hovering over it.

From the clouds cascaded a constant supply of dark lightning which electrified the poor bastard who started squirming like a worm and howling like a pig. His skin tore off and his eyes bulged as George clapped his hands and dissipated the dark clouds above them.

Dan's body looked like a charred piece of steak as he laid flat above the boulder like an exhausted animal awaiting his death. In a moment's notice, George appeared before him and said, "Didn't young master say that he can last ten minutes? Why is it that you collapsed under ten breaths?" George shook his head in an exaggerated manner as Dan grind his teeth and tightly clenched his fists in indignance.

"You didn't say that you will electrocute me..." Dan groaned amidst his pain as George lightly chuckled, "Stop joking with me, young master...How I am supposed to temper your body without cooking it from the inside?" He even tapped Dan's shoulders and his amiable expression paired with the light within his eyes shook Dan's body to his core.

"Well, forgive me if it was too painful, but without doing this, you won't even be able to use any of the techniques that I will teach you since they are all double-edged swords..." George shook his head regretfully and stared at Dan for indications of him giving up.

Dan lifted his head and stared at him before saying, "Double-edged swords? Wait, could it be that those techniques are mutual destruction techniques?"

"Exactly!" George clapped his hands and Dan roared, "Fucking hell! Then that would require me to possess a physique stronger than my enemy or else I will just be courting my own death!"

"Yeah, exactly! That's the reason why I am tempering you here..." George rolled his eyes, how else would you defeat your enemy if your body is weaker than his? That was common sense.

"At least show me how the technique looks like..." Dan moaned but didn't argue anymore, after all, though the techniques were dual-edged swords, at the least, it could help him improve his strength.

"Fine, since you're curious about it, I'll satisfy you for once..." George stood up and cracked his knuckles and neck upon stretching his body. His old figure floated before the waterfall and looked down at the reservoir below it.

"Young master, I'll show you the evidence that cultivators could really dry out the seas and sunder the skies..." George mysteriously smiled and lifted his right arm and opened a palm.

"I will wrap a string of reinforced deep sea gold frequently used in cultivator bows so that you can see how much damage is done to my body after executing the technique..." Using his left hand, George wrapped a substantial amount of golden threads around his right forearm before raising it towards the skies once again.

"Anger of the Lightning God: Capsizing the Seas!"

With a bestial howl from his throat, a domineering pressure enveloped his right arm. The air around him collapsed and almost all creatures in the surrounding three hundred kilometers felt a pressure boring down their very own souls.

As George's palm strike moved down, a faint silhouette of his own figure could be seen with his arms crossed. Staring towards the creatures below with a condescending look.

The palm strike itself looked simple. But the blaring warning notifications from the system and the palpitating sense of danger that screamed inside his mind told him that if he met that palm strike head-on. There would be no chance of survival.

Only certain death was awaiting him.

BOOM!

A massive explosion ensued. Dan's eardrums exploded and all the sound in the world disappeared along with a splash of water which surged towards the skies, reaching up to two hundred meters. Regaining his balance, Dan looked below and found that the water reservoir below looked empty with all the waters evaporated.

Even the flow of water from the waterfall had temporarily stopped under George's presence. With him floating above it, the waterfall didn't dare to spew any water. Afraid that George may annihilate it from existence.

Dan's vision swam and the distinct pressure that emanated from George's body made him dizzy. But at the same time, the light within his eyes burned as fiercely as ever as he thought, "What would happen if I could execute the same technique as George could? I would be an uncontested powerhouse in this entire Empire!" He screamed in his mind.

"What do you think? Cool, right?" George gave a small smile and the pressure that constantly surrounded his body disappeared.

BOOM!

Another deafening explosion reverberated as Dan and George found themselves soaked by the freshwater that descended from the skies. The water reservoir received its waters back and the waterfall once again started its supply.

George descended from the skies and said, "So if you want to have that kind of power, I will need to temper your body, then train you in the techniques of the Lightning God namely, Blessing of the Lightning God, Anger of the Lightning God, and the Clouds of the Lightning God."

"These three techniques if mastered will make you an all-around fighter of the Longinus Clan. And training in these techniques will also give you the chance to enlighten yourself with the Upper Dao of Lightning." George said to him and Dan's expression flickered, urging George, he took the initiative and leaped towards the bottom of the waterfall from the top.

George shook his head, "I am beginning to think that young master is just doing this for the sake of young mistress..." Remembering the deeds of debauchery that Dan did at the City of Cloud. George knew more than anyone about his young master's pervertedness.

Shaking his head, he followed him and pointed towards the skies when he saw that he was ready.

"I'll be attacking the water now, young master..." George signaled and Dan prepared his body as the former shouted.

"Blessing of the Lightning God: God's Thunderous Punishment!"

BANG!

A bolt of dark lightning descended from a jet-black cloud and electrocuted Dan who howled miserably in pain. His body shivered and his countenance repeatedly changed in colors such as green, red and black.

George moved his hand down.

The dark lightning stopped.

"Young master, you need to stop shouting and focus on circulating all of those precious Lightning essences throughout your body so that it could temper it...There's not much use if you're just using it as a bath..." George reprimanded and Dan stared at him indignance, "Fucking hell, I also need to absorb it and circulate it inside my body?! Just imagining it gives me the pain..."

Dan's face looked tragic, but for the sake of acquiring the ultimate move that he just saw and returning back to his wife as soon as possible. Dan sat cross-legged as George smiled and.

Bang!

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Dan instantly went into super-Saiyan and shouted like mad-man. Clenching his fists until his nails bored into his palm. Dan managed to suppress his howling, but he still couldn't concentrate enough and visualize his body.

At the thirtieth time, George stared at Dan in concern but the latter said, "GEOOORRRGGGEEE! Continue!!! I'll show you the power of someone that wants to get laid!" He shouted his battle cry and George continued his attacks.

This process continued for dozens of times. And it only stopped when George gave him some advice. But even so, it took Dan, five hundred and sixty-nine tries until he could concentrate enough and another three hundred and twenty-one tries to circulate the lightning inside his body.

"Good boy, good boy, you're a genius, it didn't even take you a day to finish the task that I required you to do..." George nodded his head in approval while Dan looked like he wanted to die.

"Yeah...It didn't take a day, but the number of times that you electrocuted me should've surpassed at least half a thousand..." Dan didn't know whether to laugh or to cry when he thought about the moments where the lightning almost made him a eunuch when it circulated near his lance.

Who knows what would Natalie's reaction be when it happened.

George stared at Dan with a wry smile on his face, "the Young master is even more of a monster than what I expected. But since he had that bloodline, It should be as expected instead of it being unexpected..." He thought in his mind.

"Okay, since we have tempered your body quite enough for your cultivation base. Tempering it more will just crack your already solid foundation so let's hold that off until you breakthrough the next realm." George clapped his hands together and Dan heaved a great sigh of relief.

Finally, I am relieved of that hell...

Dan didn't even want to stand up, but the prospects of having the technique which evaporated the water reservoir earlier made him energized as he listened like an obedient child.

"Listen here, young master, the Anger of the Lightning God makes use of Lightning stored within our muscles to increase the speed and destructive capabilities of our attacks. Which means, if you master it, you will be undefeatable in close combat quarters at least against those of the same ranks..." George explained and Dan became even more hyped.

"Okay let's not waste any more time, follow my movements and memorize it..." George took a stance and stretched his right arm forward before moving his left and placing it in parallel with the right. With a swift movement of his right foot. He stepped forward and backward with the left as a thunderous sound echoed from his right arm.

The swift movements alone generated a thunderous sound. It goes to show how strong George's boundary and understanding of the technique was.

Dan smirked, he had recorded George's movements inside the system and had no problems using it. George's expression looked weird and indescribable when he saw Dan following his movements without any waste nor mistakes, just how is he doing it? He thought in his mind.

But in the end, the only explanation that he created and he could accept was that Dan's genius when it comes to techniques and cultivation raised his comprehension so high that he could remember a set of movements as long as he saw it once.

This hastened the training the process and within just two days, Dan finally mastered the first boundary of the Anger of the Lightning God.

The Roaring Thunder in Flesh.

Standing before George. Dan took a deep breath and swiftly executed a set of moves that he vigorously trained for the past several hours.

Bang~!

A roar of thunder resonated inside his fist and when it struck George's chest. A fierce shockwave battered everything around them. Though Dan couldn't possibly do any damage to George's body. He knew that if George was the Captain Demonic Dragon bastard. The latter would have no possible chance for survival.

Staring at his still smoking and aching fist. Dan lifted his head and gazed towards the skies, before roaring in excitement and satisfaction!

I did it! I finally did it!

I successfully trained the first boundary of the Anger of the Lightning God!

Dan was finally one step closer to his goal of being stronger than his wife.
