It All Started With A Lightning

Return

When his qi reached the death meridian, the meridian opened without difficulty. He knew from Godo and the others that their experience was not in that direction. They had been forced to open as usual.

He felt that it had to do with the fact that he had waited a long time.

When the death meridian opened, dark thoughts began to appear in his mind. Even with his eyes closed, he could sense the people sitting next to him and behind him. The urge to kill them began to form in him. He knew that he had to endure it, and he passed this stage easily. Because he didn't want to kill unnecessarily, and he had never killed anyone before.

This stage came very easily to him, both because killing was forbidden and evil in his old world, and because he only wanted to realize his dreams in this world.

After overcoming these feelings, the urge to kill himself gradually tried to take over his mind.

This was the second and final stage of breaking through the Death Meridian.

Thoughts appeared in his mind that he had never experienced before, and they drove him to despair. A constant voice, "Why are you still alive?"

"You've already died once!"

"What's the point of living again?"

William did not give up. This time he shouted to himself. "Because I have dreams!" "Because I died for no reason!"

"Because there are things I haven't tasted yet!"

"I... I... I don't want to die before my dreams come true!" he said. The emotions that gave him these thoughts in his mind must have heard him because they started to disappear quickly.

When everything was gone, William recovered. He had successfully opened the gate of death. (Death meridian) The surrounding spiritual energy and metal elements rushed into his body.

When he looked at his own qi pool, he saw that it was beginning to expand. Previously, the qi pool that was the size of a baby's hand had grown to the size of his fist.

Then the qi inside him began to circulate along his meridians. As he walked, his meridians also expanded. Now more qi could circulate in him. When all of his meridians had expanded, he opened his eyes. They were now brighter. Even though the cave he was in was a bit dark, he could see everything. He also felt that his field of vision had expanded. He couldn't wait to test his explosive power as he stared at his hand and clenched his fists.

Not wanting to attack anyone here, he decided to try the Iron Body. When he used the technique, his body was transformed into an all-metal sculpture. He was sure that he was just as powerful as his grandfather right now. Because with the current final step, the iron body was 'complete'.

He didn't think he was very intelligent, but these techniques seemed to be easy to understand. He hadn't thought about it at all, because if he was a genius in techniques, he was 'weak' in potential.

From the time of his childhood test, he had been told that his talent was at most gold level.

Having a gold-level talent did not necessarily mean that he would rise to the gold level. If he worked hard, and if he was lucky and did have the resources for some things, he might rise to the gold level. So again, it was all up to him.

After examining his own body, he was very satisfied. Then he began to meditate again. While he had the chance, he wanted to replenish the almost empty qi pool. Besides, the metal element was dominant here, so he did not want to waste it.

A week later, they happily left the ore chamber. All four of the team, including himself, had become Iron-Level Warriors.

Pierce greeted them as they returned home. He said that William and the crew of four should return. The others would continue to train here until they got used to their new powers.

William was already extremely energetic, so he didn't want to waste any more time, so they said goodbye to Pierce and left.

They encountered no danger on the way. They even had the opportunity to hunt some creatures for food. They did not stop at the volcano camp because they did not need for food, they took the horses directly from the outpost just outside the Black Forest and returned to the Barony.

William continued to the castle. Others went to their designated living quarters. When William returned, he found his mother waiting at the door with his younger brother in her arms. Theo was standing next to his mother, smiling at him.

William immediately ran and hugged his mother tightly. Wilson was so shocked that he didn't know William and started to cry. Theo took Wilson from Sophia's lap to calm him down. Then he patted William on the shoulder and said, "Well done, you've worked hard."

"Whose son am I after all?" William smiled.

"Wilson, don't be afraid. Look, this is your big brother." Theo said, trying to calm him down.

"My brother?" he said. Maybe the unfamiliarity had diminished a little more, but it would take some time for it to disappear completely.

William went inside and took a hot shower. He had been bathed the last time they left the Underground. After his bath, he slept until dawn the next day. At dawn, he awoke to a sound that made him happy.

"William, why are you still in bed? Get your ass up!"

It was his grandfather's voice. He didn't care now that he was used to his attitude. But he was still happy when he heard the voice of his grandfather, whom he had not seen for a few years.

"Grandpa, still morning, what happened?" he said.

"What happened? Get off your ass and let me see how strong you are!"

"As you wish, but can't we eat first?"

"Impossible! I have to beat you first!" he said.

"As you wish, Grandpa."

Together they went to the usual training ground. His grandfather took off his shirt to show off his strong body. This time, William took it off his shirt in return for his Grandfathers move.

His grandfather smiled. "Well done, a man should be like that!" he said.

They both used the iron body and were thrown at each other. His grandfather held back as usual. Thanks to the iron body, William felt almost no pain. It sounded like a drum when their punches and kicks collided.

After a while, they both stopped. They looked at each other. His grandfather was extremely satisfied. Until now, he had only fought with the strength of a mid-Iron level Warrior. He thought that the advanced level of the Iron Warrior wouldn't be able to hurt him either.

"Brat, get ready. Don't die in one blow!" he said.

William knew that his grandfather was getting serious. Looking at him, he saw him coming at him like a truck with a broken brake. He would start his attack with a straight fist from the front.

So William crossed his arms over his chest.

As his grandfather's iron fist hit his arm, 'BOOOM!!!' William began to fly with a voice. He had fallen at least twenty meters.

He opened his eyes and his arms. He could barely feel his arms. He thought he could die with that one blow.

Thedo withdrew his iron body technique. He put on his shirt and walked over to William.

"Boys these days can't take a punch! Tch!" he spat and walked away.

William was both cursing and unable to hide his surprise. "Damn old man! He's bronze level now!" he cursed again.
