Chapter 33: Thunder Skill to the Ultimate Realm!
"Oh my, now that transportation is so advanced, if you miss him that much, we can go to the Imperial Capital to see him!"
Lin Xiangdong handed her a tissue, then thought of something and said, "Honey, didn't our son say he sent you the places he plans to visit on the way here? Why don't you check where he's going?"
"Oh, right, right!"
Zheng Xia quickly took out her phone and opened the message her son had sent her.
It was a screenshot of his booking page on the travel app, showing all the flights Lin Beichen had booked.
She opened the screenshot and started looking at it together with Lin Xiangdong.
"Oh my, our son is going to so many places!"
"Isn't this practically touring half of Huaxia?"
"Do we have enough budget for this trip? I thought we gave him more than enough money, but now it feels like it might not be enough."
"..."
Seeing the numerous destination names on the screenshot, the old couple was truly stunned.
Just then, Zheng Xia thought of something and quickly opened the weather app: "These places are so far apart, with such broad spans. I wonder what the weather is like in those areas. Is the clothing our son brought suitable? We don't want him to be too hot or too cold."
A mother's worry knows no bounds, especially since Lin Beichen was going on his first long trip alone. She wanted to be sure she had thought of everything.
"His first stop is Tanying City in Ganpo Province... and it's supposed to be a thunderstorm? Did our son bring an umbrella? You should quickly tell him to buy one at the airport."
"The second stop is in two days... hmm? Another thunderstorm??"
"The third stop... still a thunderstorm???"
"..."
When they finished checking the weather for all the destinations, the old couple found that while the temperature at all destinations varied, the weather condition was consistently...
Thunderstorms!
They looked at each other.
In complete bewilderment!
What's going on?
Did their son not check the weather before going out?
How come it's thunderstorms everywhere he goes?
Did he land right in the middle of thunderstorm season?
While the old couple was worrying about Lin Beichen, elsewhere, Lin Beichen was already on a plane soaring through the clouds.
When choosing seats, Lin Beichen had specifically picked a window seat. He rested his head against the window frame and gazed outside.
Endless whiteness stretched out before his eyes.
Layer upon layer of clouds stacked, shifting in between billows, with wisps of clouds drifting unpredictably.
"Phew—"
Lin Beichen's eyes brightened as he exhaled deeply, feeling much of the month's accumulated frustration dissolve away, leaving him in high spirits.
"I believe this journey will be fruitful!"
Throughout the journey, the sky was vast and filled with pure white clouds.
He had no idea how much time had passed.
Gradually...
As far as the eye could see.
Gray patches began to appear on the once pure white cloud layers, and the cloud mist between the clouds and the sky turned murky and dim.
The plane began to experience slight turbulence intermittently, unlike the previous smooth flight.
"Why is it shaking continuously? Could something be wrong?"
"What's happening? Why does the plane keep jolting?"
"..."
The murmurs of concern grew louder.
Just then.
The in-flight announcement sounded.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please! Our plane is currently over Ganpo Province. Today, there is rainfall across the province. We will intermittently pass through rain clouds, causing unstable air currents and brief periods of mild turbulence. During this time, please remain seated, fasten your seat belts, and refrain from moving around."
The stewardess's gentle voice instantly calmed the anxious passengers.
The cabin quieted down in an instant.
But the peace didn't last long.
About ten minutes later.
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!"
"..." freēwēbnovel.com
With the rumbling of thunder coming from outside the cabin, the plane jolted violently, and the passengers became agitated again.
"Was that thunder just now? It's thundering??"
"What's happening??? Why is the plane shaking so much?"
"Didn't they say mild turbulence? You call this mild??"
"What's going on? Can this shaking cause an accident??"
"..."
The passengers frowned, their faces full of worry and panic. The severe turbulence even scared some children to tears.
"Waa—!"
The sharp cries filled the cabin, escalating the already tense and chaotic atmosphere.
Lin Beichen seemed to be in a different realm. His expression remained calm, with even a hint of a smile as he focused his bright eyes on the view outside the window.
The scene outside had drastically changed in just ten minutes!
The once white cloud sea had turned almost entirely dark gray, with cloud mist swirling like smoke in the air.
Columns of clouds rose from the cloud sea like mighty tornadoes surrounding the plane, with the surrounding air appearing to stiffen. Occasionally, lightning flickered within the cloud columns, leaving fleeting bright white streaks!
"This is the right place!"
"Watching this weather from up high..."
"These thunderstorms are no small matter!"
Contrary to the gloomy weather outside, Lin Beichen's heart was beaming with sunshine, and his mood couldn't have been better.
Just then.
The stewardess's voice came through the cabin speakers again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention! Our plane has reached its destination - the airspace above Tanying City. Due to the severe thunderstorm, we will descend beneath the thunderstorm clouds and circle around to land. Expect strong turbulence due to the airflow, causing continuous strong shaking. Please remain seated, fasten your seat belts, and refrain from moving around."
No sooner had the announcement ended.
The passengers felt the plane descending, and in the next second, the severe turbulence mentioned in the announcement arrived on cue!
"Rumble-rumble—!!!"
"Boom—!!!!!"
"..."
The jittering combined with loud thunder filled the cabin, and the strong descent tested everyone's nerves.
In their panic, they were drawn to the thunder and instinctively looked out the window to see what was happening. What they saw only heightened their alarm!
It was like the end of the world!
Cloud columns loomed so low that they seemed ready to crush the plane. Through the bases of the cloud columns, they occasionally saw thick lightning strikes colliding wildly, slashing fiercely and appearing to split the cloud columns in half!
"Waa—!!"
The children's cries grew more distressed and relentless, causing everyone's nerves to fray further.
The cabin grew increasingly chaotic with voices clamoring.
"This is terrifying. Why on earth is the weather like this?"
"Is it safe? Let's fly to another airport first!"
"I can't breathe properly, I need oxygen!!"
"..."
The scene became more and more chaotic!
Only Lin Beichen!
Unperturbed like an ancient well!
All the noisiness around him felt irrelevant.
He leaned against the window frame, straining to see the lightning within the cloud columns, eyes filled with yearning and anticipation.
"This is the power of nature!"
"Such immense lightning..."
"It comes and goes at will!"
"When will I be able to reach this level myself?"
