Faraday cage, electromagnetic barrier, in this way, even if struck by lightning, the damage could be minimized, or even completely avoided.

But whether the lightning in this alternate world follows Earth's rules, even Lu Yu isn't quite sure.

The presence of Spiritual Qi might have some effect on the lightning, perhaps increasing its power, generating vitality within the thunder... it doesn't rule out the possibility of lightning breaking through the electromagnetic barrier.

It could be so powerful that it might directly melt the iron cage, and at that point, even with a Faraday cage, you couldn't stop the lightning strike.

Boom! A bolt of lightning struck, and another place lit up with firelight.

Lu Yu felt that he couldn't keep up anymore. He had just retrieved a piece of tree core, holding it in his hand while running and refining it, when he saw a new lightning-struck wood appear.

After a few runs, finding the firelight disappeared midway, losing its trace, Lu Yu had no choice but to narrow his movement range, striving to get all the tree cores of lightning-struck wood within that range.

Watching the continuous appearance of lightning snakes connecting the sky to the earth, Lu Yu felt something was off about this place. Even if struck by lightning, it shouldn't be this frequent, right?

Almost every thunderbolt landed in this forest, as if the trees in this forest were lightning rods actively attracting the strikes.

It's not the time to think about these problems; Lu Yu ran toward the newly emerged firelight, using the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step to travel now, having discarded the iron chains.

The Faraday cage was still holding up, but the iron chains used as conductors snapped the first time he performed the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step.

It was too fast, colliding with too many things, bearing too much burden, breaking and vanishing — now he didn't know where they had fallen.

Crackle~ A lightning bolt flew over Lu Yu's head, sparking on the Faraday cage he was wearing. The lightning didn't strike him, changing course midway to fall at a distance.

Boom! The ground exploded into a flash of light, and as the blinding light faded, Lu Yu saw a silver sapling surrounded by lightning.

The silver sapling was situated at the hilltop where Lu Yu had earlier taken shelter from the rain. The sparse trees on the hilltop were due to the silver sapling attracting lightning and being frequently struck, resulting in many trees dying.

Lu Yu was sure he hadn't seen this silver sapling before.

He first retrieved the tree core he originally aimed to get, then approached the silver sapling.

From hundreds of meters away, Lu Yu could feel a powerful force wrapped around the silver sapling, and the lightning that fell seemed to have been absorbed by the sapling, with the energy concentrated within its body.

The energy of one bolt of lightning is terrifying; it's hard to imagine how much power the silver sapling possesses after absorbing so much lightning.

Rumble~ Another bolt of lightning was drawn to the silver sapling.

Lu Yu watched as that bolt of lightning was entirely absorbed by the sapling, turning into electric light coiling around its branches.

At this moment, Lu Yu noticed what seemed to be several fruits growing on the sapling's branches. When the sapling was struck by lightning earlier, these fruits had evidently enlarged a bit, which caught his attention.

"Thunder Source Fruit?" Lu Yu speculated.

The Thunder Source Fruit is a sixth-grade spiritual treasure; Lu Yu couldn't buy it now. It's a coveted heavenly treasure for Martial Cultivators training in lightning Spiritual Power. Consuming a Thunder Source Fruit can enhance their lightning Spiritual Power.

Additionally, the Thunder Source Fruit contains a vast amount of the Vitality Power of Thunder within it. Just one is equivalent to a hundred pieces of tree core, and eating one would fully restore Lu Yu's strength.

However, Lu Yu couldn't approach it now; he felt that if he dared to go forward, the power from the silver sapling would destroy him.

"Looks like I'll have to wait until the lightning stops to find a way to get it."
