Willie bellowed, his voice echoing with both power and grandeur!<fn711f> Discover more novels at FιndNovel</fn711f>


    In that moment, as he envisioned it, the sky should have been filled with dark, swirling clouds following the thunder’s roar. He imagined a massive thunderbolt, thick as a bucket, crashing down directly onto Charlie’s head!


    Willie was convinced that even if this bolt didn’t kill Charlie outright, it would incapacitate himpletely. Once that happened, he would have countless methods to torment him until he revealed all his secrets!


    However, right after Willie shouted “thunder,” the anticipated dark clouds failed to materialize, and there was no thunderous roar to be heard.


    The night over Aurous Hill was exceptionally clear. With the mountains free from light pollution, one could gaze up to see a crescent moon and a sky twinkling with stars. Noticing the absence of dark clouds and lightning, Uncle Willie felt a wave of confusion wash over him.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He nced at the thunderbolt in his hand and muttered, “What’s going on? Where’s my thunder?”


    To make matters worse, the formation had ceased to function.


    Shortly thereafter, the aura he had infused into the lightning strike wood was released back to him, returning to his body.


    Unfortunately, the “Nine Xuantian Jing” didn’t contain any instructions for formations that could draw spiritual energy from the surrounding environment. If it had, Willie could have easily drained all of his energy in just a couple of attempts.


    Feeling puzzled, Willie didn’t suspect any trickery with the lightning strike tree since the aura had returned to him. Instead, he believed he had simply failed to activate the formation earlier.


    At that moment, Charlie couldn’t help but ask, “So, old dog, where’s your thunder? Is the lightning wood in your hand out of juice? Did you forget to charge it before heading out?” Willie recognized Charlie’s sarcasm and replied coldly, “You think you can jest when your end is near? You must really be oblivious to the meaning of danger!”


    With gritted teeth, he focused again, channeling his aura to reactivate the formation of the lightning strike wood, and dered loudly, “Just watch me this time!”


    As soon as he finished speaking, the formation was set, yet still, no dark clouds appeared overhead.


    Momentarily, the lightning strike wood returned Willie’s aura once more.


    This sensation was akin to a child losing in a video game just at the crucial moment, desperately trying to insert more coins to continue, only to have the machine reject them and spit them out instead.


    Willie’s heart raced in panic as he stared at the dark lightning strike wood in disbelief, muttering, “What… what’s happening? It workedst time; why isn’t it working now?”


    Seeing his bewilderment, Charlie burst intoughter, “Old dog, seems like your Thunderbolt isn’t as effective as you thought!”


    Willie scowled, asking, “What Thunderbolt?!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
