A cool, refreshing energy instantly surged into his sea of consciousness, soothing his mental fatigue and emptiness.
Then, he would take out the thick, heavy tome that recorded the fundamental Laws of the universe and quietly begin to read.
The sound of turning pages, nearly inaudible against the deafening backdrop of the thunderstorm, became an anchor for his spiritual world.
The text and diagrams in the book corroborated with the living Law of Thunder before his eyes, often sparking new flashes of insight.
Occasionally, when inspiration struck, he would abruptly rise, draw the long saber from his waist, and begin to practice at the very edge of the thunderstorm.
The gleam of his saber flashed. At times, it was as swift as a lightning strike, mimicking the path of a thunderbolt;
At other times, it was heavy and dense, like thunderclouds gathering energy;
And at others, it burst forth with explosive power, demonstrating the destructive might of thunder.
