The Great Ruler: Starting with the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, it Shocks the Thousand

Chapter 1 Thunder Scale Dragon Python

North Spirit Academy, East Campus.

"Bang!"

A dull thud rang out, and a young boy's figure flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

Mu Chen rubbed his butt, which had fallen to the ground. "Brother Hao, we were just sparring. You went too far. It hurts so much."

"Haha, stop joking around. You requested the sparring session, how come you're already having trouble at the very beginning?"

Qin Hao said with a loud laugh.

"I'm not practicing anymore, I'm not practicing anymore." Mu Chen waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's just asking for trouble if you beat me up, Brother Hao."

Judging from your strength, Brother Hao, you should already be at the Spirit Wheel Realm.

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "More or less, but you're not bad either. At this age, to reach the Spirit Realm, there are few in the academy who can compare to you."

"Hey, what's that compared to you, Hao-ge? It was definitely a mistake for Linglu not to choose you back then."

Mu Chen said sincerely.

"The Spiritual Path..."

A look of reminiscence appeared in Qin Hao's eyes.

The reason why Linglu did not choose him is quite simple.

When the selection process took place in the Realm of Judgment, he was indeed just an ordinary cultivator.

However, half a month after the opening of the Spiritual Path, he deciphered the mystery of his birth and awakened his memories of his past life, realizing that he had been reborn in the world of The Great Ruler.

Furthermore, he also obtained the inheritance method of the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, which greatly enhanced his talent and comprehension.

It was only after that that he began his own path to rise to prominence.

Even now, his strength is not just close to the Spirit Wheel Realm as Mu Chen guessed, but is about to break through to the Divine Soul Realm!

"Where's Mu Chen! Where is Mu Chen? Come out right now!"

Arrogant words came from outside the training ground, interrupting Qin Hao's thoughts.

Looking around, one could see several teenagers marching menacingly toward the martial arts arena.

Qin Hao recognized the leader; he was Tong Guan, one of Liu Yang's lackeys in the West Courtyard.

As Tong Guan stepped into the training ground and saw Mu Chen, he was about to speak when he caught sight of the tall figure standing to the side.

He immediately suppressed his arrogant demeanor and bowed to Qin Hao, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Qin."

He naturally knew Qin Shixiong, who had risen to prominence in the past two years.

Rumor has it that the other party's strength has already broken through the Spirit Realm and is about to reach the Spirit Wheel Realm. He is also the young master of the Thunder Domain in the Nine Domains. He is definitely not someone that he can provoke.

Qin Hao nodded. "If I remember correctly, you're from the West Campus. What brings you to our East Campus?"

Tong Guan glanced at Mu Chen, then replied, "Senior Brother Qin, we're here to issue a challenge to Mu Chen."

"Mu Chen, Brother Liu Yang said that he will choose you as his opponent in the inter-academy competition ten days from now. Also, I would like to tell you that Brother Liu Yang's human-level spiritual vein has been discovered. If you don't want to be beaten, you should admit defeat on your own."

When confronted with provocation, Mu Chen responded without hesitation: "Go back and tell Liu Yang to prepare to be beaten. I'll definitely beat him to a pulp."

Tong Guan wanted to say something harsh, but after glancing at Qin Hao beside him, he ultimately said nothing and silently led his men away from the East Courtyard.

"How about it, are you confident? Liu Yang is someone with spiritual veins, after all," Qin Hao teased Mu Chen.

Mu Chen waved his hand casually, "Brother Hao, what are you saying? Liu Yang is just a nobody. I've dealt with many geniuses more talented than him on the Spiritual Road. He's nothing at all."

I may not be able to beat you, but beating that Liu Yang would be a piece of cake.

"Your confidence is commendable; we look forward to your performance."

"Brother Hao, just you wait and see, I'll definitely beat that Liu Yang to a pulp."

"Okay, I hope to hear good news from you when I get back."

"Huh? You're back?" Mu Chen looked at Qin Hao in surprise. "Brother Hao, what are you planning to do?"

Qin Hao smiled mysteriously, recalling Mu Chen's sometimes enigmatic behavior, "It's nothing, you'll find out when I get back."

"Hey? No, Hao-ge, you should tell me what's wrong. You're making me feel really uncomfortable."

Ignoring Mu Chen's shouts, Qin Hao left the training ground to ask Master Mo for a long leave.

The reason given was a very common one: something had happened at home.

As the saying goes, things are accomplished in secrecy. His purpose in leaving the Northern Spirit Academy this time was to obtain the essence of a spirit beast and break through to the Divine Soul Realm.

He didn't want any unexpected situations to arise before things were settled.

Thunder Domain is one of the nine domains of the Northern Spirit Realm. Its strength ranks in the lower end of the nine domains, making it the weakest of the nine.

The existence of this realm is not mentioned in the original work; it is completely invisible.

Thunder City is one of the cities in the Thunder Domain.

As soon as he stepped into Thunder City through the teleportation array, guards spotted him immediately.

"Young Master, the Young Master has returned!"

As the young master of the Thunder Domain, Qin Hao is quite well-known in the Thunder Domain, and the guards here all recognize him.

After a brief greeting, he returned to the Qin residence.

"Young Master, you're back." An elderly man with white hair immediately came forward, his face full of joy.

"Old Qin, how are the preparations going?" Qin Hao asked.

Old Qin, this is the steward left by his parents, with the strength of the early stage of the Divine Soul Realm.

After his parents died unexpectedly, the Thunder Domain was taken over by this old man, who was absolutely loyal to him.

Otherwise, the master of the Thunder Domain would have changed long ago after so many years.

"Young Master, everything is ready and we are just waiting for your return."

"Can people really be trusted?"

"Young Master, rest assured, they are all trustworthy people."

"Alright, give the order, we'll depart for Thunder Canyon tomorrow."

"yes!"

Qin Yao had been preparing for the operation in Thunder Canyon for a long time.

The purpose is simple: to obtain the essence of spirit beasts.

For those at the Divine Soul Realm, a powerful spirit beast essence is indispensable.

Finding a suitable spirit beast essence is naturally quite difficult.

His target was the Thunderscale Dragon Python, a powerful spirit beast with a trace of dragon blood, discovered in Thunder Canyon. It was ranked 21st on the Ten Thousand Beasts Record.

This is the most powerful spirit beast essence he could find so far, and whose attributes best suit him.

There is a Nine Nether Sparrow in the Black Abyss with a higher ranking, but I don't have the means to acquire it.

In the original novel, Mu Chen was able to suppress the Nine Nether Sparrow's spirit mainly because of the mysterious black paper he obtained on the Spirit Road, which is a fragment of the Immortal Record.

Without this item, attempting to seize the essence of the Nine Nether Bird would only result in the Nine Nether Bird possessing your body.

That Nine Nether Sparrow was a true Supreme Realm being; even in its weakened state, it was not something a cultivator who wasn't even at the Divine Soul Realm could contend with.

Moreover, the higher the ranking of a spirit beast's essence, the better; what's more important is compatibility.

He possesses the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, and is destined to follow the path of thunder to the end. Therefore, hunting thunder-attribute spirit beasts to obtain their essence is the most suitable choice for him.

The Thunderscale Dragon Python, a spirit beast with dragon blood, was Qin Hao's long-term target.

He had been preparing for this hunt for more than half a year.

First, one must reach the peak of the Spirit Wheel Realm in strength; second, one must find enough manpower to hunt down this spirit beast.

Although Elder Qin was at the Divine Soul Realm, he was old after all, and his strength was far inferior to that of other Divine Soul Realm cultivators, not to mention powerful beings like the Thunder Scale Dragon Python, which was listed on the Myriad Beasts Record.

Although he was confident that he could fight against opponents of higher levels, it was always better to be prepared.
