**[My Senior Brother Is Super Strong] Chapter 40**
"Shocking God Technique?"
After Lu Chen read the name, he continued to stare at the spirit tablet with an unkind expression.
"You want to get rid of me with this thing?"
"At least give me one more skill, and I won't argue with you," he muttered.
The light on the jade table flickered a few times, fluctuating between brightness and darkness.
It seemed shocked by Lu Chen's shamelessness.
But Lu Chen didn't care.
How could he pass up the opportunity to extract more benefits?
He had previously obtained a skill from this same source.
It was the meteor summoning technique he had used before.
The real name was the Immortal Fireball Technique.
He hadn't lied to Xiao Ye.
Also, there was the Lihuo Sword Art.
The things given by the spirit tablet were undoubtedly good.
It didn't take much thought to realize that the Shocking God Technique had to be worthwhile.
To better extort benefits, Lu Chen feigned disdain.
He patted the jade table and shouted at the spirit tablet, "Give me one more skill, and I won't argue with you anymore."
Finally, a bright light flashed on the surface of the jade table again, and another skill appeared.
"Taiyan Body Refining Technique!"
Lu Chen felt exhilarated when he saw it. "Sure enough, there's still something here."
But he maintained an air of disdain. "Is that all you've got?"
"Do you just want to brush me off like this?"
The white light on the jade table continued to flicker in brightness and dimness again due to Lu Chen's shamelessness.
Then four words appeared on the desktop: **"If you don't want to, get out!"**
The light immediately darkened.
Seeing this, Lu Chen replied in a reluctant tone, "Alright, I'll give you some face; I'll take it."
"I reluctantly accept it."
Lu Chen used jade slips to duplicate both exercises and then sat down cross-legged to meditate.
"Shocking God Technique!"
"Taiyan Body Refining Technique!"
After reading them, Lu Chen had a general understanding of their effects.
Practicing the Shocking God Technique would not only strengthen his spiritual power but also enable him to attack the enemy's spiritual consciousness.
It was a method of mental attack.
The Taiyan Body Refining Technique was, as the name suggested, a body refinement technique.
After reading it, Lu Chen was very satisfied. "Yes, just what I needed—a body-training technique."
Originally, Lu Chen had planned to seek out a body-training technique after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
Additionally, body-training techniques could also be obtained from the sect during the Golden Elixir stage.
However, this required a contribution.
Lu Chen was naturally lazy and had no desire to perform any sect tasks.
So, he intended to bide his time and wait until he reached the Nascent Soul stage before heading to the sect's library.
The sect had regulations that upon becoming a powerful cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, one would automatically be promoted to elder status, allowing access to certain techniques and elixirs without needing to contribute.
Lu Chen changed his mind and decided to practice these two techniques first.
"I should be able to grasp one of these skills in three months, right?" Lu Chen said to himself.
Then he closed his eyes, holding the jade slip in his hand, and began to meditate and practice.
Three months passed, and Lu Chen stopped his practice.
He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light in his gaze.
Looking down at the jade slip in his hand, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "Not bad; the Shocking God Technique lives up to its name."
"Shock the gods, shock the gods; is it the gods that are shocked, or the spirit?"
"Who knows?"
Lu Chen was no longer a novice in a large sect like the Qingyun Sect.
Under the influence of his surroundings and experiences, his knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary sect trainees and families.
After practicing the Shocking God Technique, Lu Chen realized that it was a skill of at least heavenly quality.
It was incomparable to the Earth-level or Xuan-level techniques.
"The lethality is immense, and ordinary people cannot withstand it."
"Even cultivators who specialize in spiritual consciousness at the same level won't stand a chance against the Shocking God Technique; I can easily deal with them."
"Hey, senior brother, just wait for me. I've already started."
"So what if you're in the Nascent Soul Stage? I'll surprise you then."
Lu Chen felt proud.
Even if Ji Yan had reached the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Chen believed the Shocking God Technique could still pose a challenge for him.
"Good stuff, good stuff," Lu Chen marveled.
After taking a short break, he continued to practice.
This time he focused on the Taiyan Body Refining Technique.
Compared to practicing the Shocking God Technique, the Taiyan Body Refining Technique was significantly more challenging.
Lu Chen frowned, a pained expression on his face.
Over the past three months, the spiritual power in his body had constantly surged and refined itself.
Every cell felt as though it had been hammered apart and then reassembled, only to be smashed apart again.
The pain Lu Chen experienced wasn't limited to the physical; his soul also seemed to endure tremendous agony.
Finally, the same held true for his bones, flesh, and blood.
His entire body felt as if it had been pulverized with a sledgehammer, stirred around violently, and then somehow returned to its original form.
He could only imagine the immense pain involved.
In the last month, Lu Chen felt as if he were on the verge of dying.
His body seemed disconnected from him, and he couldn't move even if he wanted to. He could only endure the overwhelming pain in silence.
He lost track of time, but eventually, the pain subsided, and Lu Chen felt a reconnection with his body.
He sighed with relief and stopped practicing.
Lu Chen lowered his head to examine his body; it appeared smaller than usual.
Much whiter and softer.
"Damn it, I'm not turning into a pretty boy, am I?"
Because Lu Chen rarely ventured outdoors—often staying at home or lounging under a tree—the amount of sunlight he received in a year hadn't compared to that of an average person in a month.
Due to this lack of sunlight, his skin looked particularly pale.
It was similar to Xiao Ye's complexion, and now it had become even whiter.
"It's too white; people might mistake me for a transvestite."
Lu Chen stood up, looked at his body again, and finally sighed in relief.
"Thankfully, I look more masculine."
Although his skin was pale, his muscles were well-defined and proportionate, giving him a more robust appearance full of masculinity.
Lu Chen took out a mirror and admired himself for a moment before saying, "I look even more handsome!"
"Not bad, not bad!"
After three months of practicing the Body Refining Technique, he had only managed to get started and was still far from mastering it.
However, Lu Chen already felt a significant difference between his current self and who he was before.
Looking at his slender hands, he felt a twinge of excitement.
A long sword materialized in his grasp.
He gripped it tightly, testing it; the first-grade magic weapon couldn't do anything to him, and its sharp edge failed to cut through his skin.
Lu Chen felt even more satisfied, a wicked smile spreading across his face. "That's right. When I reach the peak of my training, my senior brother's sword won't be able to breach my defenses, right? Then I'll give him a surprise."
Before leaving, Lu Chen glanced at the spirit tablet with disdain, saying, "Why didn't you present such a good item earlier instead of hiding it? I look down on you."
"Perhaps you were so stingy in a past life that you ended up beaten to death."
The token remained unresponsive, as if it couldn't hear Lu Chen's remarks.
Once Lu Chen left, the spirit tablets on the jade table began to shake incessantly, and the tabletop flashed with white light.
