Chapter 86 of "Exploring Immortality Cultivation" begins the action: Mao Zimiao now felt as if she were stuck midair, unable to move. As she... Discover the next part!

Mao Zimiao now felt as if she were stuck midair, unable to move. As she watched the Demon Deer's antlers grow increasingly bright, her heart was oddly calm. Why on earth had she made such an elementary mistake? Was it because her limbs were numb from the electricity? Or was it because she saw Wang Qi being struck and flying away, his fate unknown, and her concern had thrown her into disarray? Speaking of which, when she saw Xiao Qi kicked away just now, what was she thinking? Anxious? Or... pained? Then, the Half-demon Girl saw a dark shadow charging straight toward her, and upon closer inspection, it was none other than Wang Qi, who had just been kicked away. The Protective Gang Qi constructed of Material Waves was exceptionally effective, and Wang Qi was virtually wearing a shell with built-in shock absorption, so he was hardly injured. However, the expression on his face, as seen by Mao Zimiao, seemed rather flustered and exasperated. Because of me? The girl wondered in her heart. It wasn't until Wang Qi also entered the Deer King's attack range that the Half-demon Girl's slow-witted mind came upon a far more important question. "Do you want to die with me, Xiao Qi?" Mao Zimiao intended to push Wang Qi away, but Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators could not yet travel through the air, so if Mao Zimiao had the ability to push Wang Qi away, she would have already escaped the Demon Deer's Thunder Strike range by herself. Mao Zimiao's thoughts had no effect on Wang Qi. At last, Wang Qi grabbed Mao Zimiao's hand just before the Demon Deer launched its attack. Mao Zimiao felt a tingling sensation like an electric shock in the hand Wang Qi was holding. This ticklish, itching feeling spread throughout the Half-demon Girl's body in an instant. "Eh? Is this the feeling of love my mother talked about, the one you feel when you meet the man you love?" This was the last question in the girl's heart. Then, blue electric light swallowed them both. "No!" On the ground, Wu Shiqin let out a cry of despair. However, Su Junyu had already seen through everything. The Su Junyu in the sky nodded with satisfaction, the deadly card in his hand remained unactivated. There was no need. After the electric light passed, Wang Qi and Mao Zimiao were unharmed. Yes, unharmed. Apart from being blown higher by the explosion triggered by the Thunder Strike tearing through the atmosphere, they were completely unscathed. With her cheeks flushed, Mao Zimiao had not realized she was out of danger. The Half-demon Girl's limited brain capacity was now entirely occupied by the "electric shock of love." Wang Qi was fixated on the Deer King and had not noticed Mao Zimiao's odd behaviour. If he knew what the Half-demon Girl was thinking right now, he would most likely grab her ears and yell, "That's not 'like an electric shock'—it's actual electricity, you silly cat!" It was indeed electrocution, high-voltage, low-current electrocution. The fundamental Heavenly Song Sect's Heavenly Song Heavenly Element Group is known on Earth as Maxwell's Equations. Even though quantum physics and relativity have fully surpassed classical physics, Maxwell's Equations still most accurately describe the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces. The Heavenly Song is a supreme technique that directly taps into the essence of electromagnetic force. Its true utility is far beyond just discharging electric arcs or attracting metal, isn't it? Every change related to electromagnetic force can be achieved by the Heavenly Song! High voltage and low current is just one of those changes. The damage to the human body from electric shock mainly depends on the current, with voltage being more like a "limit of exertion." The reason Earth people die from electric shock by 110 volts is, after all, because the power grid provides an endless supply of current. If there were a discharger with a voltage of 100,000 volts but capable of releasing less than one milliamp of current, then at most, it would just cause a momentary sting to the skin. For the Heavenly Song, accomplishing this was not difficult. Although it does not rise to the unreasonable levels of temperature increase like the Heavenly Entropy Technique, it is not impossible for a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator to make a few hundred volts surge through their body. Female cultivators of Thunder Pavilion with delicate complexions often use this move to play hard to get with their lovers. Legend has it that a proud young miss from Thunder Pavilion, before a duel with a talented Wanfa Sect disciple proficient in the Arrow Control Technique, used this move countless times on the man trying to stop her, a nameless brave who still managed to stand up and take on that life-threatening battle for her. Wang Qi watched the demon deer below and an evil grin appeared on his face. Suddenly, he hugged Mao Zimiao tightly and, amidst the half-demon girl's confused "meow?" used the Thousand-Pound Fall, plummeting toward the demon deer's head. The demon deer, never expecting these two seemingly weak creatures to actually withstand its innate divine ability, panicked. It roared, and dozens of electric arcs shot from its antlers once more. However, the previously indomitable Thunder Strikes hit the two of them and, surprisingly, nothing happened! "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh; oh, oh, oh, oh, oh; na, na, na, na, na, na, na..." Wang Qi suddenly got carried away, humming a tune that came from Earth. Accompanied by the off-key alien melody, the two crashed mightily onto the Deer King's head. Dazed by the impact, the Deer King let his guard down, and seizing the moment, Wang Qi activated his Soft Power, tossing the half-demon into a tree. The lingering current on Mao Zimiao's body was released into the tree, leaving behind charred traces. Wang Qi laughed heartily, grasping the Deer King's antlers, "Ripple doesn't work on you, huh? Taste my fist filled with a magnetic field—Sea Tiger Bomb Bomb Bomb Fist!" As he spoke, he charged tenfold the power of the Heavenly Song with his hands and threw a punch. The Deer King winced in pain and howled. Blue light shone dazzlingly from its antlers again, but Wang Qi held on as if he was completely oblivious to the Thunder Strikes. "Xiao Qi, danger, quick, jump over here, meow!" Mao Zimiao, still flushed, called out worriedly to Wang Qi. She hadn't yet recovered from the fact "being held by a man." However, her girlish concerns were inevitably going to the dogs. Wang Qi's embrace was a spur-of-the-moment idea—if that thing down there suddenly transformed into a humanoid and said "Is this the legendary orange devil?" it would indeed be very special. And so, inspired by this gag unknown in Shenzhou, he had spontaneously hugged the only orange thing nearby—Mao Zimiao's hair color was orange. At this moment, the Deer King's antlers were so bright they were nearly blinding, with countless electric arcs traveling between the two antlers. Despite this, Wang Qi remained completely unharmed. He laughed loudly and punched the Deer King directly on its snout, proclaiming, "Beast! Considering your hard work in Cultivation, this top student will tell you a principle summarized by the Thunder Pavilion before I finish you off..." He said, and with another punch at the base of the antlers, "The power of a Thunder Strike is based on the potential difference between you and me..." This time it was a stomp, aimed directly at the Deer King's skull, "Your Thunder Strikes, with a voltage not exceeding 700 volts... fall exactly within the ranges my Heavenly Song can amplify..." And then, chopping his hand down on the Deer King's antler, "Now, we're at the same electric potential. As for me, your Thunder Strikes are nothing but a loose bundle of demonic power!" ———————————————————————————————————— PS1: Thanks to the passerby students from Dragon Space who recommended my book, ah, my subscriptions surged today, QAQ PS2: This chapter's main gag comes from the second season of aldnoahzero, the impassive Long Aotian the top student. I once thought an academic paper-style protagonist would best fit in the style of Yshin ORZ.
