Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 110 - 72: The Pride of Top Students, Solving Problems Using Only Standard Methods

Wang Qi, in his previous life, had focused on theoretical physics and understood electricity primarily in terms of the electromagnetic force—one of the four fundamental forces. However, he wasn’t too familiar with practical electrical work, such as guarding against electrocution.

Therefore, facing Wu Shiqin’s moves, he started to struggle.

What to do?

Increasing the electric potential would only drag himself into a contest of power with the opponent using the Heavenly Song, an unsuitable situation.

Prison Thunder Spell? This move was said to be the nemesis of all Thunder Power and Electric Energy, but so far, he could only protect one hand with it, not including the arm.

It seemed that Thunder Resistance Gang might be an option. However, this technique was only suitable for dealing with Ancient Method Practitioners and members of the Demon Clan whose Mana volume was on par with his own. It hardly had any restraining effect on Modern Cultivators. Not to mention, if Wu Shiqin increased the electric potential further, she could achieve a breakthrough.

While Wang Qi was still pondering tactics, Wu Shiqin didn’t wait for him but attacked. Radiant blue light emitted around her body as she raised her hand and launched an Electric Snake.

Wang Qi, seeing this, quickly dodged to the side. The Impermanence Step was good in that regard; the opponent would find it difficult to predict his movements based on intuitive experience. Therefore, Wu Shiqin couldn’t possibly know what his next step would be.

However, to his surprise, the electric arc Wu Shiqin released didn’t explode on the ground after he dodged it but instead burrowed into the ground.

"Damn!"

Usually, when a Cultivator’s Thunder Strike missed its target, it would automatically explode in an attempt to disrupt the opponent, but it seemed Wu Shiqin’s target had been the ground from the start! She wanted her attack to create a transient step voltage!

Of course, the Electric Energy of a single Thunder Strike was not as strong as if she had delivered it personally. The step voltage at most might numb Wang Qi’s legs for a moment, but that moment was all Wu Shiqin needed for her subsequent Spells to follow through.

After the trial’s end, Wu Shiqin had indeed put in some work on the Heavenly Song Heavenly Element Group.

Instinctively, Wang Qi leaped up but immediately realized that in mid-air, he had nothing to push against and was nothing more than a live target! He ran his mental method, adjusting his body’s kinetic energy and forcefully twisted his posture to invert himself, head down and feet up. Then, he reached out with his right hand, pressing down onto the ground.

Just before contacting the ground, a murky green light appeared around Wang Qi’s right hand, the Prison Thunder Spell.

The Prison Thunder Spell instantly neutralized the electric potential difference around Wang Qi’s hand, and he remained unharmed. At that moment, another bolt of lightning struck towards him. He was forced to exert force with his right hand, moving around while performing handstands like a juggler.

"Fuck, if only I knew, I wouldn’t have practiced the Prison Thunder Spell with my hands just for fun. In this situation, a golden right foot would be much more useful than the Girl-Getter… okay, I know gold is a good conductor with low electrical resistance…"

Wang Qi felt the pose was horribly awkward. He could nearly hear the sound of his image shattering.

Left with no other options, Wang Qi swung his free left hand, sending out a Phase Wave Blade towards Wu Shiqin. Having experienced Wang Qi’s formless Material Waves before, Wu Shiqin didn’t dare to take it lightly. She concentrated all her electricity in one place and struck hard against the Wave Blade.

As the Material Wave collided with the Thunder Power, the Wave Blade twisted rapidly under the influence of the Electromagnetic Field, while Wu Shiqin’s protective Electromagnetic Field experienced fluctuations.

Elephant Phase Wave Skill was based on the wave-particle duality, representing all matter in terms of waves. Yet at its first tier, it was an expression of the electron’s wave-particle duality. Because it was charged, the first tier of Elephant Phase Wave Skill, modeled after electrons, was still affected by Electromagnetic Cultivation Techniques.

Wu Shiqin’s defending gave Wang Qi a chance to breathe. He reconsidered his strategies for defeating the enemy.

Kiting and throwing Wave Blades might work, but that would be simply bullying others based on the superiority of his Cultivation Technique. The Master of Calculation, Xi Baiche, had specifically advised Wang Qi, and he didn’t want to make a mistake in this area. More importantly, it seemed Wu Shiqin had put in quite an effort before challenging him. He couldn’t rely on Elephant Phase Wave Skill to pass this battle because Wang Qi felt that doing so would be like solving a problem meant to test one’s ability in Calculus using Geometry instead. It would be akin to running away without fighting.

Wang Qi’s integrity was often in a state of deficit, but at least at times like this, he didn’t want to resort to tricks.

A wave blade didn’t buy him much time. Wu Shiqin quickly launched another offensive, and Wang Qi continued to run around the field performing one-handed handstands.

Having no other choice, Wang Qi swung another wave blade at Wu Shiqin.

The same old trick, how pitiful!

Wu Shiqin once again used electricity to neutralise the move while looking at Wang Qi with a slight sense of excitement.

"I’ve finally forced out all of your strength," Wu Shiqin thought to herself, as she gathered mana, preparing to deal a fierce blow to the guy not too far away, still maintaining a one-handed handstand and panting heavily.

Wait a minute, not too far away?

When had he gotten so close to me?

A bad feeling washed over Wu Shiqin. It was at that moment that Wang Qi smiled at her.

Wu Shiqin made a snap decision and immediately released the attack she had been brewing.

However, Wang Qi was faster. With a forceful push of his right hand against the ground, he used the leverage to leap up high. Just as his palm left the ground, Wu Shiqin felt her vision go blank.

"Blinding your damn eyes now!"

Wang Qi’s laughter came from mid-air.

The Heavenly Song Heavenly Element Group includes four Heavenly Element Formations, one of which can deduce a type of electromagnetic wave. This was the foundation for Mai Siwei’s unification of the Thunder Pavilion and Light Hall, and the establishment of one of the Five Absolutes, the Guiyi Alliance. And naturally, the Heavenly Song included various applications of light.

Wang Qi could emit a strong light, but the biggest flaw of this move was that it had to increase in brightness gradually instead of being a dazzlingly intense light from the start. Although this process was fast, it would still alert Wu Shiqin, and Wang Qi’s tactics would fail.

That’s why Wang Qi had deliberately unleashed the second wave blade, to make his hand stay pressed against the ground as long as possible.

In the end, Wu Shiqin fell for it. She looked directly at the strong light, which caused temporary blindness. Taking advantage of this, Wang Qi leapt into the air.

Wu Shiqin, unable to see, formed a strong electric field around her body with her thunder power to protect herself. But it was useless. Wang Qi was in mid-air, with his body completely detached from the ground, so he didn’t hesitate to increase his electric potential to the limit.

Then, he adjusted his body to dive toward Wu Shiqin. The two collided heavily. Wang Qi ruthlessly pinned Wu Shiqin’s hands behind her back, pressing the girl to the ground, and made sure none of his limbs touched the surface.

At that moment, Wang Qi’s electric potential was higher than Wu Shiqin’s, and his electric energy wreaked havoc inside the girl’s body. Wu Shiqin instinctively wanted to raise her own electric potential, but she realized that with her body grounded, if she raised her electric potential above Wang Qi’s, she feared her mana would drain away before she could even counterattack.

The girl plainly shouted, "I surrender."
