The moment four or five bolts of lightning struck his body, Austin used his mind to summon the Thunder Elixir and the thunder
unicorn's beast soul from his elixir field.
Then, a huge illusionary thunder unicorn appeared and enclosed Austin's body.
"Splat..."
The lightning collided with Austin's body protected by the thunder unicorn. It then turned into a million tiny bolts of lightning. A
thousand tiny lights flickered wildly, which made Austin look like a luminous hedgehog.
Suddenly, the Thunder Elixir in his elixir field erupted with a brilliant silver glow.
The Thunder Elixir instantly absorbed the flashing lightning.
Then, all the lightning around Austin disappeared.
This was not the first tthat Austin had absorbed the lightning energy.
Since receiving the Thunder Elixir and beast soul from the thunder unicorn, Austin would use the elixir to absorb energy during a
thunderstorm.
Considering Austin had done this before, he was experienced in this aspect.
So four or five bolts of lightning were of no serious deal to Austin.
"Splat..."
More than a dozen lightning bolts, as thick as human arms, fell from the sky and hit Austin's body.
Then, a dozen bolts of lightning burst at once, turning into a mass of electricity that swirled around Austin.
Once again, Austin looked like a glowing hedgehog.
This tas well, the Thunder Elixir and beast soul of the thunder unicorn absorbed all the lightning.
And then, Austin's body was back to normal again.
Meanwhile, with the help of the Magic Sea Water, half of Austin's injuries recovered immediately while the remaining half began
recuperating rapidly.
"Splat!"

At this moment, all the men who were chasing Austin stopped abruptly.
None of them dared to rush to the gate of the Thunder Palace.
They were afraid that it might trigger the lightning sensor, and if that happened, they would die for sure.
Everyone was staring at Austin. They gaped—with their mouths open, eyes bulging and necks stretched as if invisible hands were
choking them.
"What the hell is going on?"
Everyone saw lightning striking Austin.
However, instead of hiding or dodging, Austin stood his ground boldly. In the end, he was as safe and sound as if nothing had
happened.
Not only was Austin unharmed, but he was recovering quickly from his previous injuries. The wounds on his body were no longer
bleeding, and the gashes were growing smaller with each passing second.
"Why is this boy not afraid of lightning?"
One of the martial artists murmured.
"Damn it! Am | dreaming? How could he recover so quickly from lightning strikes?
Is he strong enough to heal with lightning?"
asked another doubtfully.
"I finally understand why the Sky Sect was willing to offer a holy weapon and divine vital energy crystals for people to hunt him
down.
The boy is simply not a human.
He is a monster!
No one can kill him. Even after being attacked by hundreds of people, he still walked away uninjured!"
Another martial artist stated with disbelief.
"Alas! That's true! Hundreds of people besieged him, and yet, we inflicted no damage. On the contrary, he killed at least 60 or 70
of us.
This guy is a monster!
And now, I'm regretted that | agreed to join the group that hunted him.
If he doesn't die, he'll kill us all. I don't want to die here,"
another man said. His voice was laced with regret.
"Damn it! | can't believe this! It doesn't matter if | can't kill Austin. I'll go into the Thunder Palace and get the treasures!"
Hearing that, several cultivators summoned their magic treasures and approached the palace gate carefully, step by step.
After being bombarded by a few lightning strikes, Austin slowly turned and coldly glanced at the group of cultivators who had
attacked him.
"lI remember what you did totoday.
Next time, | will make you pay the price!"
As soon as Austin finished speaking, several bolts of lightning, as thick as human arms, struck him. Countless lightning streaks
flashed around him, and he looked as bright as the legendary Thunder Giant.
The cultivators who had just attacked Austin, trembled when they saw the ferocious glint in Austin's eyes as he glared at each of
them. They were now, terrified of what he might do.
"Damn it! So what?
Be a man! Cand takeon!"
"Boy, next t| meet you, I'll kill you. Then, I'll sever your head and take it to the Sky Sect for the prize!"
Of course, several cultivators, who were very powerful, were offended by Austin's taunt. They shouted angrily at Austin.
Without saying anything, Austin smiled coldly, and turned toward the Thunder Palace's gate.
After moving about 400 meters from the gate, Austin slowed down, and sauntered to the gate, step by step.
He already knew that the faster a person moved in front of the gate, the higher the intensity of the lightning would strike and the
more serious the person's injury should be.
Although Austin could absorb thunder and lightning, he didn't want to risk being struck by too much lightning at once.
After all, that would overwhelm him.

However, just as Austin neared the Thunder Palace's gate, a loud male voice echoed.
"It's the thunder unicorn's beast soul!
Yes! That's right!
It is the thunder unicorn's beast soul!
Ha-ha! | am destined to succeed! | am the chosen one!
Ha-ha! | am so lucky! | never thought that | would meet the beast soul of a thunder unicorn here!"
A roar of excitement filled the space near the palace.
'What?'
Austin wondered as
he looked up.
He saw a muscular, swarthy man with a huge golden axe in his hand, standing about a hundred meters away from the Thunder
Palace's gate.
The man's nwas Barret, and he was the Holy Son of the Thunder Sect. He looked greedily at Austin—a deep red blush spread
from his neck to his cheeks as his breathing grew erratic.
Barret had been concentrating on resisting the thunder and lightning as he inched closer to the palace. He was driven by greed—
all he wanted was the treasure in the palace.
However, his progress had been slow as the palace had been surrounded by continuous roars of thunder and lightning strikes.
So, Barret had not noticed that several hundred cultivators were attacking Austin;
at least not until Austin reached closer to Barret and a few bolts of lightning fell around him.
That was when Barret turned and noticed Austin.
As soon as he saw the huge illusionary thunder unicorn wrapped around Austin's body, his eyes widened. Barret was so fascinated
by what he saw that he couldn't take his eyes off the thunder unicorn.
His heart beat so fast that it felt like it would jump out of his chest.
As the Holy Son of the Thunder Sect, Barret had spent his entire life practicing the cultivation methods and martial skills of thunder
and lighting.
So, he knew how advantageous and precious it was to have a thunder unicorn's beast soul.
