Several human traffickers: "???"
Hidden expert?
What is Sun Chao talking about?
Scared silly by the cops?
The human traffickers couldn’t understand Sun Chao’s words at all—a mere college student, how could he suddenly be talking about hidden experts?
"Chao, if you don’t want to do this anymore, just say so!"
Zou Huaide stared coldly at Sun Chao, causing sweat to break out on his forehead. Despite trembling, Sun Chao explained nervously, "Bro, I’m serious. There’s really something off about him."
"Then tell us, what’s off about him?"

Responding to Zou Huaide’s skepticism, Sun Chao quickly recounted, "On my way here, I saw Lin Beichen meditating alone in the woods. Just as I was about to leave, a thunderbolt struck down from the sky, hitting Lin Beichen directly!"
"Another thunderbolt?"
The other human traffickers were also taken aback, remembering that Li Youquan had been killed by lightning too. Their expressions turned peculiar, and someone muttered, "This guy really attracts lightning, doesn’t he?"
Sun Chao nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, he attracts lightning, but it can’t kill him!"
"Can’t kill him?"
"Exactly!" Sun Chao’s emotions became more agitated. "I saw it with my own eyes. The lightning was so intense, it nearly blinded me, but Lin Beichen wasn’t killed. He remained there meditating, without a single mark from the strike. Do you think he’s a hidden expert?"
Human traffickers: ...
They looked at Sun Chao with distrust, at a loss for words.
Since they hadn’t seen it themselves, they found it hard to believe Sun Chao’s story.
Seeing that no one was paying him any attention, Sun Chao became desperate and emphatically repeated what had happened, adding, "You all know how Uncle Youquan died, right? He was also killed by lightning, and Lin Beichen was there at the time. He’s definitely an expert!"
"Alright, alright."
Li Wangxin waved his hand impatiently, "Li Youquan was just too unlucky that day. This kid survived by luck, or maybe you saw it wrong. How could there be such a person in the world?"
"Chao, you must be exhausted from this trip, and the heavy rain today has made you a bit dazed. Rest up and then let’s get going."
Zou Huaide patted Sun Chao on the shoulder and then addressed the others, "Hurry up and pack. Once we’re done, we’ll go and kill Lin Beichen on the way, then head to Beihai Province to kidnap the boss’s kid."
"Yes!"
The human traffickers responded in unison.
They didn’t take Sun Chao’s words seriously at all.
To them, his story was too far-fetched to even consider. They didn’t give it any thought.
A hidden expert?
Today we’re killing an expert!
Seeing that no one believed him, Sun Chao almost burst into tears, feeling powerless.
Soon, the cave was tidied up.
A group of human traffickers, led by Zou Huaide, left the cave in a grand procession.
Sun Chao watched their backs, his eyes flashing with reluctance, knowing full well that if he dared to disobey the boss’s orders, he would be killed instantly.
Thus, he could only follow timidly, filled with fear for the upcoming journey.
...
Meanwhile, deep in Wuling Mountain.
"Crack—!!"
With a tearing sound, yet another thick lightning bolt struck down, precisely hitting the Thunderstruck Wood.
Lin Beichen maintained his previous posture, sitting beside the Thunderstruck Wood. He didn’t react at all to the sudden lightning strike, his slightly closed eyes didn’t waver in the slightest.
During this period, the frequency of the lightning strikes increased, becoming more frequent.
He had already adapted to it.
However, his current lack of reaction wasn’t only due to adaptation but also because he increasingly felt a previously indescribable sensation.
The answer was about to reveal itself!
He was fully immersed in experiencing that sensation.
Who knows how much time passed.
Suddenly, Lin Beichen’s body trembled, his slightly closed eyes twitched and slowly opened.
"This feeling..."
He had grasped the sensation, although he still didn’t know how to describe it.
And just at that moment.
The sensation seemed to manifest before his eyes.
Electric Element flew between heaven and earth.
He watched the Electric Element in front of him, and in a daze, he seemed to enter another world—
He stood outside the mountain, atop the clouds, with tumultuous dark clouds beneath his feet, lightning flashing, and towering mountains before him.
He looked up at the mountains, gazing at the continuous mountain ranges.
As he watched...
It seemed as if he wasn’t seeing mountains but a Qilin, a vivid Qilin. The mountain before him was the head, the rolling hills its body, amidst the sea of clouds, with its feet on thunder.
"This..."
Lin Beichen’s thoughts were clear. He knew that what he saw was a mere illusion, a product of his indescribable sensation.
But he didn’t understand why he was experiencing this illusion, or rather, why he felt this way.
"Could it be..."
"It’s because this area absorbs the Electric Element from the surroundings?"
As this thought crossed his mind, Lin Beichen quickly focused his mind. Instantly, the illusory scene vanished, replaced by dense dark clouds overhead, with torrential rain continuously pouring down, and the surroundings plunged into silent darkness.
He directed his gaze to the center of this area—the Thunderstruck Wood, the source of the area’s uniqueness.
"Because of it?"
Without much hesitation, Lin Beichen decided to test his hypothesis.
