"Turtle Shell".
Lin Beichen was cultivating this traditional martial art to strengthen his back.
One minute...
Two minutes...
...
Time passed by second by second.
Who knows how long had passed.
He suddenly stood up.
"My back has also reached its limit state!"
Lin Beichen was extremely excited. After nearly a month of hard work, he had finally strengthened his whole body to the limit.
And at that moment.
Suddenly!
That all-too-familiar feeling surged in his heart once again!
It was oppression, awe, and a tremor in his soul!
"The Thunder Tribulation is coming!"
This was already the fourth time!
Lin Beichen was too familiar with this feeling. He instinctively grabbed the Thunder Tribulation Sword beside him.

Although he didn’t know when the tribulation would strike him or if this sword could withstand it.
But...
It was always good to be prepared.
At this moment, a deafening sound exploded outside the window!
"Crack——!!"
A white flash streaked with purple flickered outside the window.
"Another safe pass."
Feeling the sudden sensation ebb away like a tide, Lin Beichen sighed in relief.
And then came...
Excitement and exhilaration!
The appearance of the Thunder Tribulation meant that he had achieved a breakthrough in the path of creation techniques!
He realized...
He had made a breakthrough in Gold Element cultivation!
"So, the previous speculation might be right?"
"Completing the full-body strengthening enables visualization of the Gold Element?"
"If I can visualize the Gold Element, maybe the Fire Element will follow."
"In that case..."
"Maybe I can sense the aura and achieve a breakthrough in Thunder Skill!"
A bright future seemed right in front of him.
Lin Beichen was filled with anticipation.
He eagerly started the visualization.
"???"
But, it had just begun.
Lin Beichen was dumbfounded.
It was still empty!
He couldn’t visualize anything!
"Why is this happening?"
"I’ve completed the full-body strengthening..."
"Why can’t I visualize the Gold Element?"
"Was my previous hypothesis wrong?"
"But the Thunder Tribulation has happened, what does it mean?"
Lin Beichen fell into deep thought.
Who knows how long had passed.
Suddenly!
A spark of enlightenment flashed in his mind.
"Could it be..."
"The cultivation method for each element is different?"
At this thought, Lin Beichen felt he had gained insight.
It was true that the Electric Element was visualized.
But...
The Gold and Fire Elements, which he had not been able to visualize, might not be visualized at all?
Each of them has its own path to creation techniques!
They should not be equated with the Electric Element.
At this moment, he thought of the just-struck Thunder Tribulation and realized: since the tribulation appeared, it means he indeed achieved a stage improvement in Gold Element cultivation.
"Steel Bones..."
"This is the First Realm of the Gold Element."
"Just like the Visualization Realm of the Electric Element."
Lin Beichen understood.
But another question followed—
How could he feel the Gold Element?
He knew...
Even if he couldn’t feel the Gold Element, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Achieving such a level of Steel Bones through traditional martial arts must be due to the influence of the Gold Element.
"Only by sensing the Gold Element could one possibly sense the Fire Element, thus enhancing the Thunder Skill."
"And..."
"My body has already reached its limit state, and to go further, it must be achieved through the Gold Element."
"I can’t sense the Gold Element..."
"Then I’ll be stuck!"
Lin Beichen fell into contemplation again.
But...
Seeing the rain stopped, he lost his train of thought.
Fortunately, his mental realm was peaceful.
He wasn’t impatient, nor did he force anything excessively.
Moreover...
After such a long period of creating techniques.
He understood better that this kind of thing couldn’t be rushed.
It had to go with the flow!
"It’s been about a month since I left school."
"Since staying here doesn’t help..."
"It’s time to go back to school."
Thinking of this, Lin Beichen took out his phone and sent a message in the dormitory group [F4 Boys]: "@everyone, I’ll be back to school tomorrow, don’t go overboard with a grand welcome, shy.JPG."
The group had been constantly asking when he would return to school in the past few days, or maybe even half a month ago.
Especially Han Yuan...
His words were filled with an unmistakable tone of jealousy and envy.
He felt it was necessary to inform the dormitory group.
Quickly, there were replies in the group.
Wu You: "My goodness, you’re finally coming back. If you don’t return soon, the dormitory supervisor might think there are only three of us."
Han Yuan: "@Lin Beichen, you OOXX, still talking about a grand welcome? Let me warn you, if you don’t bring some special products from the Moon River, don’t even think about stepping into room 207."
Wu You: "+1 to what he said."
Liang Dong: "+1."
Seeing that even Wu You and Liang Dong had become Han Yuan’s "accomplices," Lin Beichen realized his one-month leave had caused quite a "trauma" in his roommates’ hearts.
He should make amends.
He shook his head with a wry smile and replied in the group: "Honestly, during this month at Moon River, I didn’t go anywhere except the hotel and the beach."
Han Yuan: "So, should I understand it as you being either with a girlfriend or looking for one? Gross.JPG"
Han Yuan: "Hey, stop talking nonsense. No specialty products mean sleeping in the hallway."
