Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

"Ding! You have used a [+5 Universal Skill Book]. Congratulations, you have acquired the skill Thunder Slash +5!"

"Ding! Influenced by the Supreme Divine Body, your Thunder Slash skill has been Enhanced into the Thunder Slash Divine Technique. The Divine Body King, Wang Lei Ting, has been born on Great Spirit Mountain in the Wukong Dojo. He will cultivate this Divine Technique, giving it the opportunity to grow stronger."

The original [Thunder Slash] was a Seven-Color Quality skill. Now that it had been Enhanced into a Divine Technique, Wang Yi expected it to be quite powerful. He opened his status screen and began to examine it with great interest.

Name: Thunder Slash +5

Description: The name Thunder Slash implies a sword strike so fast it can outpace lightning. This is an extraordinary Divine Technique that applies to a sword-drawing action. Requires an equipped Sword to trigger.

Description 1: With a single thought, unleash your body’s full potential to automatically execute a rapid sword strike. The entire action—drawing the blade, striking, and sheathing it—takes only 0.01 seconds.

Description 2: Enhance +1: The strike action takes 0.005 seconds.

Description 3: Enhance +2: The strike action takes 0.001 seconds!

Description 4: Enhance +3: The strike action takes 0.0001 seconds!

Description 5: Enhance +4: The strike action takes 0.00005 seconds and adds a Sword Thunderclap effect. This thunderclap inflicts Armor-Piercing Damage and a Spiritual Attack, and can harm non-corporeal entities.

Description 6: Enhance +5: The strike action takes 0.00001 seconds and adds a Sword Thunder Flash effect. This flash has a Paralyzing Effect and a Holy Attack, dealing massive damage to Undead and Undying creatures.

Description 7: Using Thunder Slash places an extreme burden on the body, so this Divine Technique cannot be used consecutively. Cooldown: approximately 100 breaths.

Description 8: This Divine Technique has no requirements for the type of Sword used. However, using longswords, greatswords, etc., may extend the cooldown. Specifics must be discovered by the user.

’Holy shit! A sword strike in one hundred-thousandth of a second? No one could possibly see that! And it has two special effects, Sword Thunderclap and Sword Thunder Flash. This is incredible.’

Wang Yi was overjoyed. Having gained another Divine Technique, his level had risen again, finally reaching 600!

Of course, Wang Yi was still using the alias "Taishang," so his publicly visible level was only 450.

Wang Yi was now eager to test the power of his new Divine Technique, which meant he needed to find a good target.

"Sect Leader Li!"

Wang Yi looked over at Li Bozhen, who was meditating cross-legged not far away.

During a previous chat, Wang Yi had learned that Li Bozhen once died in battle protecting Li Longyu. Possessing the Rebirth Sword Seal, he was reincarnated and eventually became the Sect Leader of the Jade Dragon Sword Sect in the Golden Sparrow Country on the world of Typhon. It was later, in the Chaotic World Royal Court, that Wang Yi helped him recover his true self.

"Sir, what are your instructions?"

Li Bozhen opened his eyes. In this world, strength determined status. Wang Yi’s level was higher, his power greater, and he was favored by the Mingyu Divine Lord. Even though Wang Yi was just a new Player, Li Bozhen was deeply respectful, addressing him as "Sir" and not daring to show any slight.

"Sect Leader Li, are there any mobs around here?"

Wang Yi asked.

"Mobs? Yes. Flood Dragons sometimes appear in the great, unnamed river below."

Yin Kui, who had also been meditating nearby, chimed in. "I used to practice my Cultivation in that river. As I recall, there’s a Flood Dragon nest about three li from here. It spawns one Flood Dragon a month. Its level is low—only 100, the absolute limit for a Mortal. After it spawns, it wreaks havoc along the river. There’s even a place called Fengbo Pavilion, about ten li away, where you can pick up a quest to slay it."

"A Flood Dragon, perfect!" Wang Yi stood up. "I’m bored, so I’ll go kill one. Brother Yin Kui, please lead the way!"

Yin Kui quickly waved his hands. "Supreme Lord, please don’t joke. The Divine Lord gave specific orders that you are not to leave this cliff. If anything were to happen to you, we would be punished as well."

Li Bozhen added, "This mountain peak is the territory of our Mingyu Divine Country, so most people wouldn’t dare cause trouble here. But once you leave the mountain, it’s a different story. You mustn’t underestimate the Miracle Divine Country. It’s full of powerful experts, and they may have already sent Assassins after you. It’s entirely possible one is lying in ambush nearby as we speak."

"Is it really that dramatic?"

Wang Yi felt no fear, but he knew Li Bozhen and Yin Kui meant well and didn’t want to cause them any trouble or worry. After a moment’s thought, he said, "In that case, could I trouble the two of you to go catch a Flood Dragon or some other mob and bring it to me?"

"That... we can do!" Yin Kui nodded. "Supreme Lord, please wait a moment. I’ll be right back!"

With that, Yin Kui rose, gave another cupped-fist salute, and then shot off into the distance. About half an hour later, he flew back, dragging a thirty-meter-long red Flood Dragon with him.

"I have fulfilled my duty and captured a vicious Flood Dragon alive. Sir, what do you plan to do with it?"

Yin Kui was currently level 402. He held the title of "Venerable Jiaolong" in the Mingyu Divine Country and was quite powerful. He now had the red Flood Dragon by its tail, holding it so it couldn’t break free.

Wang Yi looked at the Flood Dragon. It was different from what he had imagined—simply an ugly monster, like a hybrid of a giant snake and a crocodile. It was currently flailing and struggling violently, its eyes filled with malice.

"What to do with it?" Wang Yi walked forward and said suddenly, "It’s already dead!"

"It’s not dead. I just caught it; it’s alive and kicking! Here, let’s hear you make some noise!" Yin Kui shook the Flood Dragon’s tail, and the creature immediately let out a low roar, struggling even more fiercely.

"See? Full of life!"

"That’s just an illusion. In fact, it doesn’t even know it’s dead yet."

"Dead?"

"That’s right. I killed it."

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand."

Yin Kui scratched his head, and Li Bozhen didn’t understand either. Sensing there was some deeper meaning to Wang Yi’s words, he also asked, "Sir, when did you kill it?"
