Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 56: Inducing Lightning to Temper the Body, This Kid is Really Hateful

Dugu Bo looked at Ji Wuming who was still very determined to stay in Thunder Canyon to practice. He wondered if the practice method in this kid's mind was really what he thought. He asked worriedly,
"Ji boy, you insist on staying in Thunder Canyon. Are you going to use the surrounding lightning environment to practice?"

Ji Wuming did not rush to speak, but nodded silently, while Dugu Bo continued to ask,
"How are you going to practice, kid? Are you going to fight those thunder attribute soul beasts, or..."

"Fighting the thunder-attributed soul beast is only part of the battle. Besides that, I plan to use the thunderstorm weather inside the canyon to temper myself!"

Dugu Bo grabbed Ji Wuming's shoulders and looked at him with sharp eyes.
"You're crazy, you're completely crazy! Don't think that just because you absorb a Thundering Hell Vine spirit ring, your body will be able to withstand the heavenly thunder. Even the thunder attribute spirit beasts here don't dare to do that."

"Lightning is the most powerful of all elemental attributes. If you are not careful when drawing lightning to temper your body, your martial soul will be shattered at best, or you will die under the might of the thunder."

How could Ji Wuming not know about Dugu Bo's worries? Did he really think that he had no preparations and only relied on absorbing the lightning resistance generated by three lightning attribute spirit rings to attract lightning to temper his body?
Ji Wuming smiled softly, took out a dark blue iron rod from his soul guide, and handed it to Dugu Bo.

"This blue iron rod was made from lightning-dispelling ore. I've been testing it for five or six years and it's the best type of ore at dispersing and weakening lightning properties."

"According to my tests, this lightning rod, which is three fingers thick and about one meter long, can fully dissipate the strongest soul skills released by a six or seven hundred year old lightning attribute soul beast."

Dugu Bo stroked the lightning-eliminating stick in his hand, and his face was no longer filled with worry. Instead, he was more satisfied with Ji Wuming who took out the lightning-eliminating stick.
"I thought you, the usually steady Ji, had become conceited after obtaining the spirit ring. I didn't expect you to have a backup plan and actually forged such a good lightning-scattering iron tool."

"Senior, you are too kind. I have been preparing for five or six years to be able to attract lightning and temper my body."

Ji Wuming was not obsessed with the excessive praise, and he was not too sure about the matter of inducing lightning to temper his body. After all, this was his first time.

Dugu Bo saw Ji Wuming's determination and preparations for this matter, so he no longer stopped him from trying this and said happily,

"Ji boy, Yanyan is on vacation recently, so I have time to play with you here. I have never seen anyone use lightning from the sky to temper their body in my life. You are the first one, but I don't want you to be the last."

If he failed to successfully draw lightning to temper his body, the worst that could happen was that he would rescue him from the released lightning. It wouldn't be difficult for a Titled Douluo like him to rescue someone from a bolt of lightning.

The next day, early in the morning,
The sky was getting light, but the Thunder Canyon was still covered with dark clouds and thunder, and thunder was falling continuously.

Dugu Bo and the other two once again came to a small flat area not far from the center of Thunder Canyon. To ensure safety, Ji Wuming took out ten lightning-dispelling sticks and assembled them one by one.

Dugu Yan stood aside, looking at Ji Wuming with great concern.

“Finally assembled!”

Ji Wuming wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked towards Dugu Yan who was assisting with the assembly. He comforted her,
"Don't be afraid, little sister. I will definitely give you a brand new Ji Wuming."

Then he stretched out his left hand toward her,
"Little sister, bring me a bottle of purple thunder liquid."

"Brother Ji, can't you try a different way of training? Even with these lightning rods, it's still not safe."

Although Dugu Yan didn't want Ji Wuming to attract lightning into his body, she still gave all the purple lightning liquid to Ji Wuming and said something cruel.

"Brother Ji, if you die, I will accept Yu Tianheng's pursuit and marry him." "Do you dare?"

Before Ji Wuming finished speaking, Dugu Yan hugged him with both hands and pressed her body against him.

"If you die, do you think I dare?"

Ji Wuming was speechless about this little girl. She had to use this to provoke him, right? Believe it or not, when he, Ji Wuming, breaks through to the Soul Saint level in the future, he will directly kill her.

"Okay, I'll be fine!"

Ji Wuming pulled Dugu Yan away, picked up the assembled ten-meter-long lightning rod, and walked towards the place where lightning was constantly striking.

He took out a four-meter-long lightning rod from the soul guide and quickly inserted it into the ground. Suddenly,

"boom--"

A bolt of lightning struck the tip of the lightning rod directly. Fortunately, Ji Wuming was quick-witted and was not struck directly by the lightning. Then the second and third bolts of lightning struck the lightning rod one after another. The power of the lightning became more and more fierce, and the frequency of the lightning strikes became higher and higher.

Ji Wuming quickly came to the end of the lightning rod, used the tip of the blood thunder spear to penetrate the hole at the end of the lightning rod, and used his arm strength to forcibly lift the ten-meter-long wind and thunder rod and pass it through a ring designed on the lightning rod. He drank a drop of purple thunder liquid.

"Boom——"

A particularly loud thunder sounded, and then like a ferocious blue dragon, lightning struck the lightning rod, with many arcs of electricity surrounding it. The lightning followed its conductor and entered the lightning rod.
As the incoming path grew, the blue violent electric arcs gradually weakened until they passed through the blood-thunder spear, which had a certain resistance to lightning, and hit Ji Wuming's right hand, and gradually spread to his whole body.
At this moment, Ji Wuming felt that the not-so-violent electric current was gently expanding his meridians, and was slowly absorbed by various parts of his body through the pull of the soul power in his body.

“It’s so comfortable, so cool!”

Dugu Bo, who was standing not far away, looked at Ji Wuming's very satisfied smile, and his previous nervousness disappeared. He was sincerely happy for his future husband.

In Dugu Yan's eyes, Ji Wuming's expression was a bit vulgar, and it was the kind of extremely wanton expression a man would have when he saw a beautiful woman.
"How disgusting!"

At this time, Ji Wuming exhaled a breath of turbid air with blue arcs, and then opened his eyes, and two blue arcs flashed across his eyes.
"It seems I was too cautious. The ten-meter mine-clearing length is still too long. It should be shorter!"

Ji Wuming removed a section of the lightning stick on the spot, and the lightning power transmitted into his body increased exponentially. The clothes around him began to be burned and destroyed by the lightning power, and even jumping lightning arcs began to appear on his skin.

This scene made Dugu Yanma beside him stunned, staring at Ji Wuming's upper body with wide eyes.
"This snow-white skin, these strong muscles, this..."

Just as the blushing Dugu Yan walked forward, ready to touch Ji Wuming's body, Dugu Bo beside him immediately stopped him and patted him lightly, causing Dugu Yan to fall asleep.

"This brat actually seduced my granddaughter. How cruel!"
