Lightning Degree Chapter 159: Release Date, Preview & Where to Read

Lightning Degree Chapter 157 marked the beginning of a new arc as Ryu and his friends boarded the ship along with people from Academy and the escorts tagging along from the escort academy. The boat is attacked by what everyone assumes to be pirates, but the attackers turn out to be much more sinister. The people who attacked the ship weren’t pirates at all but professional assassins, and one of the Heavenly Righteous Squad members seems to be their target, although unclear who the target really is.

Lady Peng, the daughter of the sly and smart Headmaster of the Academy, proved to be quite intuitive and observant when she claimed that one of the Heavenly Righteous Squad’s members is the target instead of Academy students or the escorts from an escort agency. Jang Hyon is quite impressed by Lady Peng’s intelligence and observant nature since she grasped the situation faster than he had expected. On the other hand, the Red Vermillion who had jumped underwater are still fighting.

Lightning Degree: Chapter 158 Recap

In the previous Chapter of Lightning Degree, the ship Ryu and his friends boarded is attacked by a bunch of ruffians. Everyone assumed them to be pirates, but after one of the assailants was killed, Jang Hyon quickly realized that these people were not ordinary pirates but trained professional assassins. As Jang Hyon talked to the escorts from the escort agency, it became clear that the pirates had nothing to gain by attacking the ship. Jang Hyon closely inspected the corpse and found something shocking.

Jang Hyon realizes that the assailant was using Pain Severing Technique, which allowed the assassins to feel no pain and helped them in their missions where they had to kill the target at any cost, even for their own lives. The technique was achieved by consuming drugs that reduced one’s lifespan, but assassins used the drugs from time to time. Lady Peng approaches Jang Hyon upon hearing that and asks him who the assassins are targeting among the Heavenly Righteous Squad.

Jang Hyon is impressed by Lady Peng’s intuition and exclaims that she truly is the daughter of the sly Headmaster of the Academy’s daughter. Everyone aboard the ship begins debating who could be the target, and Jang Hyon claims to be relatively new and unproblematic, so he doubts anyone is targeting him. Ryu’s friends begin wondering if they are being targeted. On the other hand, Yoon Junho is still underwater, fighting the assassins, but just as he is about to run out of breath, some people come to his rescue.
