She emphasized her point by saying, "In fact, it is a matter of life and death. Lightning can kill you. I have seen many people die due to the backlash of lightning." "Controlling lightning is very difficult. It is gamble for power with one's life on the line. If you succeed, you gain massive power and only lose half of your life. But if you lose, you will die. So you have to think about it carefully and be cautious in your approach. "Even if you can handle it right now, there is nothing wrong with getting stronger and increasing your chances of success. There is no hurry. The technique will be here waiting for you when you're ready." He nodded in understanding. She saw that he was reasonable, so she continued. "Besides, you have only acquired the Everlasting Wood Intent. You still need the follow-up techniques of the second mortal coil." She took out two orange crystals from her ring and gave them to him. As the crystals floated over to him, she said, "Touch them with your mind and accept the information within them." He did as she told him. He took the crystals with his hand and placed them against his head because it was the closest place to the center of his mind. As soon as his mind touched one of the crystals, something pushed against his mind. He allowed whatever was pushing against his mind to enter and was immediately bombarded by information. The information he received was the cultivation technique called the Everlasting Wood Art. It was the part for the second mortal coil. He needs it to transform his life force and internal energy. When he cultivates this technique to the limit, he will be able to create his foundation and reach the third mortal coil. So this is a technique that will take him all the way from the first transformation of the second mortal coil to the first transformation of the third mortal coil. The technique was imprinted in his mind as a crystal. So he can never lose it and can always remember it. The crystal was also shackled by some chains. He could tell that the chain was to restrict the technique from being shared without the proper permission. Because of the chains, he won't be able to teach anyone the technique, and anyone who searches his mind won't be able to gain the technique from him. When combined with the oath he made when he joined the sect, this creates a foolproof mechanism to prevent the techniques of the sect from being stolen. These are the advantages of using the crystal to pass across information. The disadvantage is that if he dies, the technique will die with him. If the people with the authority to share the technique die, then the technique will also die out and the sect will crumble. That's a long way off, and it doesn't concern him. What concerns him right now is the immediate headache he got because of the large influx of information. He rubbed his forehead and groaned a little. But he still went ahead to accept the information in the second crystal. The technique in the second crystal is called the Wood Control Art. It is a rank 10 spell, which is already the best spell at the second mortal coil. As a spell, all he needs to use it is his internal energy and his mind. The stronger his internal energy is, the stronger the power of the spell will be, and the stronger his mind is, the faster he can activate the spell, and the easier it will be for him to control the spell. After he was done with the two crystals, Elder Storm Hawk took them back and put them away. Then she said, "Go and digest those first. When you reach the fourth transformation, you will be able to start the Divine Lightning Armament." "In the meantime, you can always ask me about things you don't understand. You can also go to the library and use your redemption notes to get suitable techniques. You can also use merit points to exchange." "In view of your hard work and dedication since you entered the sect, I'm giving you 1,000 performance points. You can use them to exchange energy stones, pills, and artifacts from the various sects." Arthur bowed in appreciation and said, "Thank you." This time, Elder Storm Hawk didn't say that she was just doing her job. Giving performance points to students is part of her job, but the amount to give is dependent on her. So he should be grateful to her for giving him so much. She said, "You're welcome." Then she waved her hand to send him away. "You may go." He bowed again and left the room. After he left, a voice came to her mind through the wind. The ephemeral voice said, "Well done. You haven't let us down." She bowed and said, "Thank you for your high praise, patriarch." The voice from the invisible entity said, "Those who work hard shall be rewarded. Keep up the good job." The voice didn't say anything anymore. She assumed that the owner of the voice had left, so she left too. Not that the patriarchs of the sect need her to be at the lecture hall before they can speak to her if they want to contact her. Meanwhile, Arthur was on his way home with a spring in his step. He was in a very good mood. He was cheerful, which might have affected what he thought about the distance between his accommodation and the lecture hall. He used to think the distance was very long. But now that he has reached the second mortal coil and his speed has doubled, he doesn't think the distance is that long anymore. The boost to his power is not a small thing. His power jumped from 30 units to 60 units. It is direct doubly, but there is more to his power now than raw power.
