The frozen space surrounding him shattered, and the entire hidden training dimension trembled violently.Lin Xue's crimson eyes widened as she finally sensed the terrifying origin contained within Liu Kang's lightning. It wasn't simply Lightning Qi. It was something far more ancient and destructive, something that made even her Absolute Zero Divine Frost instinctively tremble.Liu Kang slowly clenched his fist as dark-violet lightning wrapped around his arm and his eyes turned cold.“This is my full strength!”A terrifying lightning pressure descended upon the hidden dimension.“And this…”The Lightning Bead inside his dantian suddenly rotated once, then twice, and finally a third time.Then..BOOM!The Chaos Lightning Source erupted.The dark-violet lightning instantly transformed as countless strands of chaotic lightning surged through Liu Kang's body, causing the hidden dimension to shake violently.Lin Xue's expression became solemn. For the first time since the spar began, she to

Liu Kang rushed forward again, his body wrapped in dark-violet lightning. The Chaos Lightning Source rotated inside his dantian, sending waves of chaotic energy through his meridians. With every exchange, he became more familiar with this terrifying power, and his attacks grew stronger and faster.Lin Xue met him head-on.BOOM!Their fists collided, sending a shockwave across the frozen ground. Liu Kang immediately followed with another punch, then twisted his body and struck with his elbow. Dark-violet lightning trailed behind every movement, forcing Lin Xue to shift her position repeatedly.Yet she blocked each attack with astonishing precision.Sometimes, she met his fist with her palm. At other times, she redirected his strength with a slight movement of her wrist, causing his attacks to pass harmlessly beside her. Even when his lightning tore through the crimson frost surrounding her hands, she remained composed and countered without giving him a chance to settle into a rhythm.L

BOOM!Another collision sent a powerful shockwave sweeping across the hidden training dimension. Dark-violet lightning intertwined with crimson frost, illuminating the frozen landscape as Liu Kang launched another attack.His right hand swept forward, carrying the sharpness of his sword intent and the destructive power of the Chaos Lightning Source. The lightning blade cut through the air, leaving a dark-violet trail behind it.Lin Xue raised her palm and blocked the strike.The moment their powers collided, the frozen ground beneath her feet cracked. However, she merely shifted her weight slightly before redirecting Liu Kang's attack to the side.Liu Kang immediately followed with another strike, but Lin Xue had already moved. She appeared beside him and tapped his shoulder with two fingers.A burst of crimson frost erupted.Liu Kang quickly circulated his chaotic lightning, breaking through the frost before it could spread across his body. He turned and swept his hand toward her, se

The Imperial Academy stood at the heart of Stormfall City, its towering gates overlooking the bustling streets below.As one of the most prestigious institutions in Stormfall Prefecture, it had produced countless powerful cultivators over the centuries. Many sect masters, clan patriarchs, and influential figures had once studied within its walls, and even those who had eventually surpassed their former teachers still regarded the academy with respect.Yet, despite its illustrious reputation, there was one person within the academy whose true strength remained a mystery.The Head of the Imperial Academy.No one knew his exact cultivation realm. Some believed he had already surpassed the Astral Core Realm, while others suspected that his strength was comparable to the most powerful figures in Stormfall Prefecture.However, none of these speculations had ever been confirmed.Even the academy's elders rarely discussed his strength openly.At that moment, a young man in dark purple robes a

Liu Kang finally emerged from the hidden dimension and found himself standing behind Lin Xue, who had her hands behind her back and wore an unreadable expression.The surroundings remained quiet for a while before she finally spoke.“The sect will take care of your Divine Lightning Peak. Besides, someone is waiting for you at the entrance to your peak.”She turned toward Liu Kang, who was busy thinking about something. The moment her eyes fell on him, he snapped out of his thoughts and recalled what she had just said. He nodded humbly.Besides, there was no longer any need for them to thank each other. Their relationship had grown closer lately, and Liu Kang valued such relationships. A part of him wanted to stay by her side, but he understood that the responsibilities she shouldered alone were far more important. He promised himself that he would grow stronger and help her bear some of that burden.Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “So, does my coming out first mean we've
