Chapter 404: 256: Upgrade and Thunder Breath _2
But he didn’t finish his sentence.
He was interrupted by Xiang Li’s raised arm.
“I know my own body best.”
“Collect the data from this transformation and prepare for the second stage.”
Having said that,
Xiang Li leaped past the white-robed old man.
Time was pressing.
He needed to quickly adjust himself.
At the same time,
there was another person.
Xiang Li felt that before the situation reached an irreversible state, it was necessary to meet that person face to face.
In the afternoon.
At the Holy Sect Religion’s Base.
Chen Sheng crossed his legs and closed his eyes.
His originally hunched body started to gain an increasingly fuller appearance at an extremely rapid rate.
In the blink of an eye,
Chen Sheng had already recovered to his peak state.
He summoned the panel.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 3040]
[Agility: 2506]
[Constitution: 2631]
[Soul: 12.2]
[Skill Column: Breath of Thunder lv2:103/5000]
[Authority: Thunder (20%) Water (25%)]
[Skill Points: 5012]
An hour ago,
Chen Sheng already had enough skill points to directly upgrade the Breath of Thunder.
However,
he also needed some time to adjust his physical state to its optimal level.
Chen Sheng slowly got up.
He walked towards the stove nearby.
The long-unlit stove was now simmering with Spirit Medicine Soup.
Under the wooden lid,
dense bubbling noises rose up continuously.
Ever since he started practicing the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing,
Chen Sheng found that in his withered state, he no longer needed spirit medicine to replenish his energy.
Just by absorbing the omnipresent Qi in the outside world, he could already meet the needs of his daily cultivation.
In fact,
with Chen Sheng’s current attributes,
spirit medicine soup would need at least dozens or even hundreds of spirit medicines to be boiled together to be effective.
The pot in front of Chen Sheng now was far from enough to boil such a large share of spirit medicines.
What Chen Sheng was actually boiling now,
strictly speaking… was not Spirit Medicine Soup.
He came to the stove,
and lifted the lid off the pot.
Whoosh!
The rich green luminescence reflected on Chen Sheng’s face, looking extremely eerie.
Compared to the usual spirit medicine soup, which only had a faint luminescence,
the light emitted by the pot in front of Chen Sheng was simply dazzling.
The reason for this was not because Chen Sheng had added a lot of spirit medicine.
On the contrary,
he hadn’t added a single one.
What he had added were all spirit seeds.
Various objects were quietly lying at the bottom of the pot now,
some were tree stumps, others were stones.
Most curiously, there were even bones.
Chen Sheng carefully inspected the bones for a long time before he confirmed that they were not of human origin and added them to the pot.
The upgrade of a breathing technique would bring a tremendous boost to one’s physical attributes in a very short period of time.
Normally,
upgrading once would be equivalent to Chen Sheng training for one or two days.
However, Chen Sheng didn’t dare to face the pain of upgrading the Breath of Thunder with his frail body during his Withered State.
Therefore,
a generous source of energy was still necessary.
Just that,
the never-before-seen Spirit Seed Soup in this pot took much longer to prepare than Chen Sheng had imagined.
He had been simmering it with a low flame since early morning,
and only now,
was the “Spirit Seed Soup” finally ready.
As for how much energy it contained,
Chen Sheng couldn’t estimate.
But he thought that it should be enough to burst a person at the level of Chou and Mao to death.
For Chen Sheng,
that was just right.
So,
Chen Sheng picked up the iron pot with one hand, raised his head, and poured the Spirit Seed Soup into his mouth.
The scorching hot soup couldn’t cause any hindrance to him.
His Adam’s apple moved up and down.
Gulping a few times,
the soup was completely poured into his stomach.
When the iron pot was returned to the stove,
only the once-luminous spirit seeds were left lying quietly at the bottom of the pot.
Without a moment’s hesitation,
Chen Sheng’s figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared,
he was at the dense forest above the Holy Sect Religion’s Base.
But he didn’t plan to make a breakthrough here,
instead, he continued to venture deeper into the rainforest.
Spanning several provinces in Western China, this rainforest had an area of thousands of square kilometers.
Chen Sheng wanted to find the highest place in the land and make his breakthrough there.
At such a location, using Thunder-Water Dual Authority,
he could carry out the most intense cultivation for his body in the shortest time.
Keep in mind,
Chen Sheng’s physical attributes had undergone a considerable increase since the last time he broke through the Breath of Thunder, and most of his body’s adaptability to thunder had been eliminated.
He believed that,
this breakthrough would certainly elevate his physical attributes to a new level.
Not long after,
Chen Sheng, who had traveled hundreds of kilometers, discovered a mountain range.
Standing on the ground,
he looked at the peaks wrapped in clouds and mist at the end of his sight.
Chen Sheng decided to make his breakthrough there.
And so.
He pushed off with his feet.
His figure shot up from the ground in an instant.
In the blink of an eye,
he had reached the peak of the mountain, nearly two thousand meters above sea level.
Chen Sheng took off his black robe and stood bare-chested.
He spread his arms,
feeling the airflow brushing past his body.
The cold air of the mountain top filled his lungs.
His mind became clearer.
“Inhale…”
Chen Sheng opened his mouth to breathe in.
With just that simple inhalation,
the wind and clouds changed in an instant.
The surrounding airflow formed a vortex around Chen Sheng’s body.
Even the clouds above his head seemed to be inching closer to him.
Fortunately,
Chen Sheng did not continue.
He called up the panel and focused on upgrading his Thunder Breath skill.
Upgrade!
Chen Sheng’s gaze tightened.
The Skill Points began to decrease rapidly.
[Skill Points: 103]
Boom!!!
In that very moment,
vast amounts of information flooded into his mind.
Countless memories of practicing the Breathing Technique were generated.
Numerous thunders sprung from within Chen Sheng’s body and surged toward the clouds in the sky.
Boom rumble rumble—
The wind and clouds changed color.
Thunder roared, deafeningly loud.
For a moment, the sky became overcast.
Among the clouds, thunders continued to gather, and they sent an incredible pressure down toward the ground.
This pressure surpassed any thunder Chen Sheng had ever seen before.
And,
it was still increasing.
As for this situation,
Chen Sheng anticipated it, so he wasn’t overly surprised.
Under normal circumstances,
when the cultivator of Thunder Breath reaches the third layer, their body will be gradually assimilated by thunder.
Even with the amplification of Qi, normal thunders in the natural world would hardly cause any harm to them.
Therefore,
starting from the third layer, the nature of the thunder must change, and its power will increase accordingly.
Only then could it have the intended effect of tempering a practitioner’s body.
However,
this does not matter for Chen Sheng.
As long as his body is strong enough,
he can take it head-on.
Moreover, he now has five additional shares of power within his body.
Thus,
facing the increasingly powerful thunder,
Chen Sheng was eager to try.
Just like that,
he digested the experience and memories that came from the upgrade
while waiting for the thunder above his head to descend.
The brewing time was much longer than before.
A whole minute had passed.
The rate of power increase began to slow down.
At this moment,
the thunderclouds presented in front of Chen Sheng were enveloped in thick purple light.
Fierce purple thunderbolts rolled and roared between the clouds.
And they targeted Chen Sheng directly.
Booom!!!
As the thunderbolt struck,
the purple lightning illuminated the heavens and the earth, engulfing Chen Sheng’s figure.
“Come on!!!”
As the thunder poured into his body,
Chen Sheng clenched his fists instantly, with veins bulging on the surface of his skin.
The power of this purple thunderbolt was far stronger than any he had ever mastered.
If it had been the Chen Sheng of a week ago,
just this strike alone would have reduced him to a half-dead state.
But now,
it wasn’t good enough.
Feeling the intense pain sweeping through his mind,
Chen Sheng found it exhilarating.
He shouted with his head held high,
as if provoking the thunderclouds.
“Not enough! It’s still not enough!!!”
His voice echoed through the rainforest,
accompanied by a joyful laughter.
Surprisingly, it almost drowned out the sound of the thunderbolts.
Boom rumble rumble!!!
Since ancient times, thunder has been regarded as the might of heaven.
One of the most revered and feared natural forces by humans.
Never before has anyone dared to openly challenge it.
Thus, the pressure suddenly increased,
As numerous thunder spirits gathered from the clouds.
The lightning became even more dazzling,
as if the heavens were enraged.
Occasionally, stray currents that had escaped would aim at the trees on the ground,
and in a blink, reduce an entire area to ashes.
The power was evident.
Chen Sheng, however, was not only unafraid,
he grinned,
feeling incredibly excited.
“Come on!!!”
Roar!!!
In response to Chen Sheng’s provocation,
The Thunder Dragon roared,
instantly engulfing his body.
