The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Spring Thunder_1

“`

As the spell circulated, a wisp of flame appeared at the tips of Greg Jensen’s fingers, the fire tinged with blue amidst its red hue.

The flame itself naturally had no effect on Greg himself, but should an outsider come too close, they would immediately feel the terrifying high temperature.

Greg extended his Divine Sense, controlling the flame to shift its shape at will, eventually forming into a fist-sized fireball that hovered above his palm.

With a gentle pinch, the fireball immediately dissipated into the air.

The room was still too cramped. Experimenting with new spells here, one might accidentally set the house on fire.

This time’s experiment was much easier than the last, after all, Greg had reached the seventh layer of Qi Refinement, with an abundance of True Qi in his body, the consumption of the Fireball Technique was truly insignificant.

Greg thought for a moment and decided to try the Falling Thunder Technique again. As long as he could condense it, that would be enough. When he found time and a more spacious place, he would then test the power of the new spell.

Although the Falling Thunder Technique belonged to the element of fire, it was classified separately and served as the foundation for all Thunder Law spells.

For instance, the Five Thunder Rectification, Divine Sword Thunder Technique, among others, all required first mastering the Falling Thunder Technique. With the basic Thunder Law in hand, one could then continue to cultivate other thunder-related spells.

Greg sat cross-legged on the wooden couch, gazing at the spring light outside the window, towards the clear blue sky, and pinched a spell.

As the True Qi circulated, he felt a connection in his thoughts, as if there was a response from the unknown.

Without thinking, he instinctively uttered a low command, “Snap!”

Crack!

The sky was clear, yet suddenly, there was a clap of thunder.

A streak of blue lightning, scarcely visible to the naked eye, streaked straight down!

“Holy shit!”

Greg was startled and rushed out to check.

…

In the alley where the courtyard was located, a young man was holding a girl’s hand, swearing an oath:

“Baby, believe me, if I’m still in touch with her, may the heavens strike me with thunder and I shall not die a good death!” he declared.

The girlfriend was moved by her boyfriend’s oath and was about to forgive him when suddenly…

Crack!

A deafening thunderclap burst forth.

Immediately after, a streak of blue lightning struck right in front of the man.

Both were stunned.

The man, looking at the small pit smoking with blue fumes on the ground, said in a daze, “This… this can’t be real, can it?”

The girl, stomping her feet in anger, yelled, “Vincent Black! We’re done!”

Watching his girlfriend run away, the man became anxious and hurriedly chased after her.

“Baby, hear me out, it’s really not my fault,” he begged.

“It’s not your damn fault? The thunder struck already!” she rebutted.

The girl suddenly stopped, gazing at him intently, and said coldly, “Do you dare swear again? Just do it one more time, and I will forgive you.”

“Ah, again?”

Ordinarily, swearing was as easy as drinking water for him, but now…

Cold sweat broke out on the man’s forehead, and he said with a forced smile, “Baby, you know, oaths shouldn’t be taken lightly, if you say them too much they lose their power.”

“Right, so you’ve been lying to me!” she accused.

“Hey, baby…”

The two figures receded into the distance.

Creak!

The gate of the courtyard silently cracked open, and Greg stuck his head out from inside, seeing the two still walking away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Miss, you can’t blame me for this.”

Greg Jensen looked down at the small pit struck by lightning and couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder. As expected of Thunder Law, its power was indeed formidable.

If it had struck a person…

Greg wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shrank back into safety, “I can’t be so reckless in the future, lucky that no one was struck.”

Just then, Liliana Grey poked her head out of the kitchen and asked curiously, “Hey, was that thunder just now?”

“No way, with the sky so clear, where would the thunder come from? You must be hearing things,” Greg replied.

“Is that so? I was sure I heard thunder just now.”

Liliana thought she had heard wrong and turned back to continue cooking.

Greg silently chuckled to himself and went back to his room to study the new spell.

Unbeknownst to him, that seemingly inconsequential bolt of lightning had caused quite a stir in Jamae City.

It wasn’t long before news of ground lightning in a drought spread through the internet across the entire Qin Province.

Some joked that it was a cultivator undergoing tribulation, while others believed it was the heavens punishing those who break their oaths.

In the end, the relevant authorities came forward to debunk the rumors and explained why there could be lightning on a clear day, which cooled down the heated discussions.

Unaware of all this, Greg was enjoying the dinner Liliana had prepared.

After dinner, Greg unusually did not go straight to bed, and Liliana breathed a sigh of relief.

In recent days, she had been in pain and yet, joyful.

On one hand, she enjoyed being with Greg, but on the other, she feared too much of a good thing might bore him.

That night, Greg did not continue their Dual Cultivation but instead held Liliana as they watched the moonlight and chatted for a long time.

Peach Blossom supermarket in Jamae was about to open, and after Peach Blossom Group took over two pharmaceutical factories, they were planning to expand into the provincial capital. Dreamscape Garden was also planning to open a branch there.

Although Greg didn’t need to be personally involved in these businesses, not showing his face at all wasn’t proper.

Moreover, with the Martial Way exchange meeting coming up, Greg needed to refine some more Qi and Blood Pills.

When Liliana knew Greg would be away for a while, she didn’t feel opposed, but softly said, “No matter where you go, this yard will always be waiting for you.”

Greg felt warmth in his heart and rested his head on her shoulder, rubbing it gently, but said no more.

Liliana, with her age and experience, was understanding and empathetic. Many things didn’t need to be said for her to understand, and that comforted Greg greatly.

…

In the morning, after breakfast, Liliana brought over the ironed suit and helped Greg dress neatly.

Then, like a little wife, she stepped back two paces to inspect him for a long while. Satisfied that there were no issues, she nodded and smiled, “Okay, you look even handsomer than before.”

Greg laughed heartily with a hint of meaning, “Haha, isn’t that thanks to your good care?”

“Off with you, be careful on the road, and come back whenever you’re tired.”

“Yeah.”

Greg kissed her on the forehead and turned to walk out.

When he reached the mouth of the alley, the Jeep was already waiting there.

“Good morning, boss!”

After not seeing him for a few days, Trey Holmes’s usually cold face had a touch more smile. “Boss, where to first?”

“Let’s head to Double Phoenix Group.”

A while ago, Lois Abbott and Greg had discussed and decided to merge Dreamscape Garden and Peach Blossom supermarket into a group company, which she would manage.

The business was growing, and it wouldn’t do to rely solely on Kingsley Harrison alone; it was just too busy.

Creating a group company to help him build a management team was the right move.

Greg’s visit was really just a formality. He listened to their work progress reports and future plans.

After chatting for a while, he had lunch with Lois, and then hurried off to Peach Blossom Group.

By the time he arrived, Taylor Ware was taking a nap.
