Chapter 168 Tiger's Roar Thunder Sound Technique

After Skye successfully shattered the silk, she was as happy as a child.

She jumped and skipped around in her arms with Xia Zuo, shouting loudly, "I did it! I'm a superpowered person now!"

Perhaps because of the abundant food she has been eating in recent months, the girl's height has suddenly increased to 167 centimeters.

Moreover, because her father was a rice grain-tipped person, the girl's figure suddenly began to develop, her pair of little rabbits grew two sizes, and she became exceptionally lively, causing Xia Zuo's heart to race when she hopped around.

To avoid embarrassment, Xia Zuo guided the enthusiastic girl in practicing her vibration superpowers before beginning to teach her her real skills.

Xia Zuo said, "You can't use your superpowers recklessly. It's a minor matter if you accidentally cause trouble, but the more dangerous thing is that you might hurt yourself."

"Don't assume that you are immune to vibration damage just because your body structure is special."

"You know, a bulletproof vest is definitely bulletproof, but if you keep shooting at it, the bulletproof vest will eventually be shot down."

Xia Zuo's patient guidance instilled a sense of awe in Skye, who earnestly asked, "Boss, how do I control my powers?"

Xia Zuo offered his suggestion: "You need to learn a skill that can help you cultivate your vibrational superpowers and strengthen your constitution."

"At crucial moments, one can unleash their full potential and defeat the enemy in a sudden burst of power."

"Especially your vibration ability, if you are not skilled enough in using it, you will not only fail to cause effective damage to the enemy, but you will also injure yourself first."

"But if used well, it can destroy any enemy in one blow."

"Even an M1A1 can be dismantled into parts in an instant."

Skye listened with great enthusiasm, eagerly asking, "Boss, what kind of kung fu is it? Is it Chinese kung fu?"

Xia Zuo said proudly, "It is indeed Chinese Kung Fu, but it is not the kind of Kung Fu that ordinary people learn. It is the legendary Kung Fu of immortals."

This was, of course, an external martial art from the memories of the Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo, called "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Technique," which was not a particularly remarkable technique in the Qingyan Sect.

It's not that the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill" is weak, but rather that it's too difficult to master.

Especially the very first step in the process can eliminate 99% of practitioners.

The first step in learning the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill" is to acquire the ability to roar and tremble like a tiger.

This is an extremely rare talent ability, which can only be achieved by those born with tiger demon bloodline or those with the even rarer lightning spiritual root.

This talent requirement severely restricts the applicable population. In the past 500 years, Qingyan Sect has recruited more than 100,000 disciples, but only seven people are able to cultivate the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Technique," three of whom possess thunder spiritual roots.

The elders of the sect would not allow a disciple with a mutated lightning spiritual root to waste time cultivating the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Technique".

After all, the Qingyan Sect's "Nine Heavens Thunder Technique" is stronger and more powerful, while the "Responding to the Origin Thunder Heavenly Venerable Orthodox Method" is the supreme and profound orthodox method.

Of course, disciples with tiger demon bloodlines would have a different experience.

Once you have mastered the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill," you can use the thunder sound to continuously temper your body and nourish your Qi during daily life and while sleeping. One year of hardship can be equivalent to five years of hard work for others.

The technique includes four sonic attack methods: [Tiger's Roar], [Thunderous Sound Break], [Mountain Suppressor], and [Thunderbolt from Clear Sky]. All of these are top-tier combat techniques capable of directly shattering an enemy's internal organs and are sufficient to kill enemies of higher levels.

Skye naturally doesn't have a lightning spiritual root or tiger demon bloodline, but her vibration ability is more in line with the cultivation requirements of the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Technique".

Xia Zuo instructed Skye, helping her to continuously adjust her own vibration frequency.

When the girl successfully emitted the Tiger Roar shockwave, she and he simultaneously felt a deep, bone-deep vibration.

The vibrations shook the bones and meridians of the two people, not only urging the internal energy to flow on its own, but also stimulating the development of bones and muscles, and healing both visible and invisible injuries.

Furthermore, vibration waves can help the human body expel accumulated impurities and enhance the body's potential.

Although Skye's control was only able to maintain it for a short 30 seconds, both of them felt refreshed, as if they had enjoyed an hour-long spa treatment.

Skye gasped, covering her mouth in surprise: "Wowit! Amazing!"

"The immortal's techniques are truly amazing."

Xia Zuo chuckled and said, "It really is amazing."

"Skye, you need to practice diligently and keep increasing the duration. When you can last as long as you want, that's when you've completed the first stage."

Skye asked, "And what about the second phase?"

Xia Zuo gently tapped the girl's throat and said, "The second stage is to use breathing as the source of vibration, ensuring that the Tiger Roar Vibration Wave can be activated naturally during sleep."

"This will not only greatly improve the quality of sleep, but also allow you to continuously increase your strength while sleeping, thus accelerating wound healing."

Xia Zuo chuckled and said, "If it really comes to that, I will definitely hold you in my arms every night before I fall asleep."

Skye's cheeks flushed, but she stubbornly raised her head to look at Xia Zuo: "Boss, we made a deal. Once I master it, you'll hold me every night before I fall asleep!"

"If you go back on your word, may you swallow a thousand needles!!"

Xia Zuo nodded seriously and solemnly promised, "Okay."

The rest of the time, Xia Zuo and Skye spent half the day training and the other half continuing to explore the remaining parts of Puerto Rico.

On the 14th day, Xia Zuo's stockbroker called him from overseas.

This man, who called himself the Wolf of Wall Street, was so excited that he shouted into the phone, "Boss, we're rich! We're rich!"

"We've just received confirmation that Tony Stark is missing, and an entire company of Marines protecting him has been killed in action!"

"This is the largest attack in Central Asia this year, and also the deadliest!"

"Tony Stark, whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—he might be dead!"

The agent was so excited that he said so much that he couldn't breathe.

Xia Zuo quickly reassured him, "Jordan! Jordan Belfort! Take a deep breath, relax, inhale deeply, and exhale slowly—"

'

His voice also possessed a hypnotic quality, successfully calming Jordan's emotions and suppressing his rapid breathing over the telephone line.

Several minutes later, Jordan Belfort caught his breath: "Oh God, you saved my life again, boss, you're a superman!"

Xia Zuo shook his head and laughed, "This has nothing to do with me. You're just too fat; you should lose weight!"

Jordan immediately objected: "NO! NO! NO! Boss, losing weight is worse than death. I'd rather die fat than die from exhaustion."

Xia Zuo exchanged a few words of small talk with him to calm his excitement before finally speaking and ordering, "Alright, Jordan, now you can tell me the specifics."

Once Jordan calmed down, he spoke clearly and methodically: "The news of Tony Stark's disappearance has been confirmed. Stark Industries' stock price has plummeted, triggering the limit down protection in just four minutes."

"Clearly, this isn't the bottom for its decline!"

"Stark Industries' stock price will continue to fall tomorrow! The day after! Even next week!"

"I wouldn't be surprised if the stock market hit the daily limit down for a whole month, as long as Tony Stark doesn't show up."

"Boss, we've struck it rich."

Xia Zuo chuckled and said, "You were furious with me when I told you to short Stark Industries before."

"Jordan, your excitement makes me wonder—just how much leveraged did you put on?"

Jordan laughed triumphantly: "I've pushed it to the limit, 50 times!"

Xia Zuo couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss—, you're a madman!"

Even if you are absolutely certain that Stark Industries stock will fall, shorting it with 50 times leverage still carries enormous risk.

A leverage ratio of 50x will result in an extremely low liquidation threshold and a very short timeframe.

Even if you correctly predict that the overall cycle will be downward, a small fluctuation or rebound can force you to close your position and sell, resulting in huge losses.

Not only will Xia Zuo's $1100 million investment go down the drain, but he will also incur hundreds of millions in debt.

But Jordan won his gamble; a leverage of 50 times could amplify profits to 500 times, or even 1000 times.

Shazor's $11 million investment yielded a profit of over $25 million during the four minutes that Stark Industries' stock hit its daily limit down.

If the stock price continues to fall to its daily limit every day, that means a daily income of 2500 million, or even more.

In just one week, Xia Zuo will become a true billionaire, and Jordan will join the ranks of multimillionaires.

Xia Zuo showered him with praise: "Very good, very good, Jordan, you are the real Wolf of Wall Street. If possible, continue shorting Stark Industries."

Jordan said regretfully, "It's no use, boss. Right now, all I see are short-selling orders. We can't compete with those big players."

Xia Zuo had anticipated this, and he didn't have high expectations when he made the request. He just wanted to see if Jordan, the Wolf of Wall Street, still had any connections.

Since that didn't work, he changed his mind and said, "Then keep an eye on it and pay attention to all the subtle changes. If there's any sign of trouble, call me immediately."

Xia Zuo said in the most serious tone, "Jordan, for the next month or so, you must ensure that you are ready to accept my orders at any time. I may turn around and go to Stark Industries at any time."

"When I give an order, you must obey it strictly, understand?"

Jordan said with utmost piety and adoration, "Boss, I now completely believe that you are the god of stocks, and I will never disobey any of your orders."

Xia Zuo suddenly sneered: "Jordan, you've already disobeyed once."

"You took my money and risked multiplying it by 50 times, leaving me teetering on the brink of bankruptcy."

"I'll forgive you this time since you won the bet, but if there's a next time, I guarantee you'll lose weight in a single day."

"Of course, I haven't decided yet whether to slice off all that fat of yours like sashimi or burn it off like a candle."

Xia Zuo incorporated illusion techniques into his voice, causing Jordan to conjure images of slow slicing and being burned alive, which terrified him and made him tremble with fear.

All the adventurous ideas that had been swirling in my mind vanished without a trace.

After hanging up Jordan's call, Xia Zuo frowned, deep in thought.

After Skye activated her vibration ability, she became incredibly sensitive to sound and vibration, and could hear the contents of the phone call clearly.

Skye was stunned when she learned that her boss earned $2500 million in a single day.

After she had finally processed the shock, she noticed Xia Zuo's unusual behavior.

Skye asked curiously, "Boss, you've made so much money, what's troubling you now?"

Xia Zuo sighed, "Because I made so much money this time, I've suddenly gotten myself into a huge problem."

Skye was stunned: "Huh? How can having a lot of money be troublesome?"

Xia Zuo replied with a wry smile, "Although Mi Lijian is a paradise for capital, money is not everything."

"When you have a certain amount of money, the social rules you have to face change. You have to consider your own status and why you are entitled to have so much money."

"When I was the NYPD's top sniper, I had no problem with $20 million, but when it came to $50 million, things started to get a little tricky."

"Kingpin failed to assassinate me a while ago and had to flee from New York, so my earning limit has increased to 100 million."

"Hey, who would have thought that Jordan would make me a billion dollars? That's just too much."

Skye stared in disbelief: "Boss, are you really talking about tiny grains of rice? It sounds more like an African tribe dividing money by the size of their fists!"

Xia Zuo chuckled and said, "How do you think a tiny conglomerate like Mi Li Jian rose to power?"

Skye stated matter-of-factly, "Because they monopolize the banking, oil, and media industries."

Xia Zuo laughed heartily: "Good, as expected of someone who received a Chinese education, you're at least half right, but also wildly wrong."

"Actually, you've got the cause and effect wrong. The so-called monopoly of key industries is just the result. In the process of the chaebols developing from their inception to their monopoly, they didn't rely on money, but on force."

"So many people made money back then, why were Rockefeller, DuPont, and a few others the ones who ultimately became tycoons?"

"Because the Rockefeller family was able to mobilize 20,000 private soldiers to suppress the miners, equipped with armored vehicles and heavy machine guns, that was a force to be reckoned with."

914 years.

"DuPont used explosives to send all its competitors into the air, and could even detonate twice a day."

"The more violence a conglomerate controls, the more profit it can make; the two are complementary and indispensable."

"The same applies to individuals."

The girl's mind was dealt a critical blow of 10000 points, plunging her into a state of moral collapse.

Xia Zuo continued to think, his eyes darting around as if he were assessing something.

After a while, he finally came to his senses, and the worry on his face disappeared. He smiled and said, "Iron Man is coming out, so I don't need to worry too much anymore."

"I can certainly demonstrate more capabilities, at least worthy of a billion dollars."

"Only in this way can we avoid being harassed or tested by others, and save Skye and Jordan's lives."

Hearing Xia Zuo's words, Skye barely recovered a bit and asked, "Boss, how do you plan to demonstrate your strength? Or rather, who are you planning to fight?"
