8. Power

Thinking that my otherworldly core formation speed will create an unstable core, I followed my motivational routine for two more months. I didn't even notify mom as that would only make her worried.

Only when I saw my red core is on verge of solidifying, did I stop cultivating and went to mom to tell her about my red core. Mom was shocked when she heard that I took only 4 months to do the job while others take 6 months.

Now that my core was extremely stable, it was time for some action. As lightning was known for its violent nature, I didn't even dare to try it out inside the house. So I headed for my usual training ground, a mountain not too far away from the house. Before that, I went to Carl's house to take him together with me. Carl's jealous look as I show off my lightning would have been a pleasant. Sadly, he wasn't at home. I could only walk alone. Indeed, the path of the strong is a lonely one.

I went to my training ground, sat on the soft green grass, and concentrated on my core. Only after squeezing and stimulating the core for some time, did Lightning energy come out of the core and started flowing in my blood vessels, galloping like a horse inside my body.

All of a sudden, my body became extremely energetic. My senses also became sharper. I discovered I could see further and also my ears could pick up sounds from a longer distance.

As my body became agitated from this sudden boost, I got the intense feeling of moving my body and doing something.

So I tried to run but became flabbergasted witnessing my speed increase by 2 folds. The reason was simple. Lightning is fast, so it also made me fast.

After running for quite a while, I punched and kicked a thick tree.

And booming noise echoed as my punches and kicks had also become explosive-like lightning. And with my body that's enhanced by 'Vajrasana Body', I literary became a sprinting bull. Every action of mine was full of explosiveness.

Then I tried to cast the energy out of my palm, but it came all over my hands due to my lack of proper control. And my figure became surrounded by lightning sparks.

If building a prototype core can make me so strong, what will happen when I finish building a complete real core~ I wondered.

It was time to discover my lightning's property. So I controlled the lightning with both hands, making it look like a short lightning baseline and aimed at surrounding objects.

But nothing happened!

"So, I can't throw lightning spears. Why? Is this because there is no electronic potential difference? If that's the case, wouldn't my lightning become useless?" I became a little worried. But as I got close to the object, sparks flew lightning and jumped onto the object.

"Umm, maybe I am not strong enough, so I can not control the lightning javelin properly."

From then on, I experimented with various prospects about what lightning could do. Even after that, I couldn't confirm my property.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

So I decided on discovering my lightning's combat potential. And, what's the best method of discovering you're own potential other than real combat?

There were two colonies of stone rabbits and wood rabbits living on this mountain. With long ears sensitive to sound and long energetic legs of professional jumpers, their abilities mainly focused on saving themselves. Stone rabbits had an extra layer of hide made of earth elements giving them natural defense. While wood ones were equipped with a strong vitality and minor regeneration. But, these were such pitiful specs that even nature gave up on arming them with some weapons like sharp claws or teeth. They were born only to run for their lives, not to counterattack. That's why they served as my perfect sparring partner before my awakening.

To me, these giant chubby rabbits looked extremely cute and fluffy. But more importantly…. tasty. Nevertheless, I had never gotten the chance to savor it. Even as one of the weakest species in the chain food, they were strong enough to force me to eat hot coffee in hot summer Whenever I got engaged with a lonely rabbit and was only one step further always from my desired meal, the whole colony would gang up on me. After a hard fight, they would always run away, leaving the hungry me. Now that I awakened my element and also formed my core, it's time to have some Rabbit barbeque.

I hid in a bush, and waited patiently for my prey, like an experienced predator. Finally, I spotted a cute wood rabbit munching on the grass. It's around 3 feet long, which I judged to be a young adult member of the colony. It's every action was full of cuteness, but the hunter was merciless.

I squeezed lightning energy out of my core and channeled it into my whole body. As if my body was injected with steroids, my heart started beating crazy fast, increasing my blood flow by several folds. The rabbit's actions slowed down in my eyes as if it was eating grass in slow motion. I got in the position and gathered more strength in my legs as the gastrocnemius muscles bulged. And then...

"Peng...!"

Like a lightning bolt, my body darted towards my prey. I covered 6 meters in a flash! I was so fast that the rabbit failed to even look back while I pounced on it like a tiger.

"Bang!"

In this collusion, my fist covered with lightning sent it flying. Its soft thick hide couldn't save it from an explosive punch of lightning empowered Vajrasana Body.

The rabbit squealed loudly in pain before dropping to the ground with closed eyes. I could see its body twitch a little before falling into eternal slumber.

"So, this is power," I murmured in an excited voice. "Before, I had to brawl for hours against one rabbit to get it down. Now, only one punch is enough! Only One punch!"

This realization made me sigh. You can't even get rabbit meat if you don't have power in this world. But my thought was interrupted by the presence of other rabbits who came on a rescue mission.

My lips curled. I muttered,

"Come, let me show you True power."
