Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 57: Dugu Yan joins the group, the idea of ​​soul ring leaping
Although Ji Wuming was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, he already had an indestructible body, so the damage caused by the power of thunder and lightning was within the controllable range.
At this moment, he felt a murderous aura different from the power of thunder and lightning.
Ji Wuming opened his eyes and saw Dugu Bo staring at him viciously from a distance, while Dugu Yan was lying on the ground, unconscious.

"Little sister won't be hurt, right? But this shouldn't happen, Dugu Bo is right next to her!"

Looking down, Ji Wuming realized that his upper body clothes had been burned by lightning. He felt a little embarrassed.
But now there was no time to change into a complete set of clothes. Ji Wuming removed another section of the lightning rod, and the increased power of lightning directly burned all his clothes, and the skin all over his body turned black.

"what--"

Ji Wuming gritted his teeth, forcibly enduring the torture from the powerful thunder and lightning, and turned his head with difficulty, looking at the blood-thunder spear in his right hand.
At this time, the blood dragon on the blood thunder spear was circling incomparably violently. Every time it was struck by a bit of lightning, the blood dragon's body would tremble crazily, and its hind claws would constantly scratch the spear handle.

Correspondingly, the entire Blood Thunder Spear is gradually becoming harder after being tempered by the power of thunder and lightning. Not only the blood dragon sealed inside the spear, but also the surrounding blood mist and blood rust are becoming stronger.

suddenly,

"boom--"

A loud sound of metal breaking was heard, and the lightning-eliminating stick in the front, which was exposed to the strongest lightning force, shattered. Countless fragments filled with blue arcs of electricity flew everywhere, and Ji Wuming was bounced back to the ground because of this.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo stepped forward and looked at Ji Wuming worriedly.
"Ji boy, you are too impatient. The lightning-eliminating stick couldn't withstand the force of the lightning and broke. This is a good thing. If it hadn't broken, you would have most likely been burned by the lightning."

"Senior, this isn't a problem of the Lightning Elimination Stick being unable to withstand the force of lightning, but rather that its lightning elimination function has reached its limit, hence the shattering."

Ji Wuming picked up the Blood Thunder Spear that had fallen to the side and continued,

"This method of drawing lightning to temper the body is not only feasible for myself and my martial soul, but also for me. Only in this way can I become stronger."

"For me, the seven-section Lightning Elimination Stick is currently the best. If there are more than seven sections, there will be the risk of the martial soul being shattered and becoming a cripple!"

Under Dugu Bo's watchful gaze, he began to readjust his condition, recover his soul power, and reassemble the lightning-eliminating stick, and resumed training in drawing lightning to temper his body.

As time passed, the lightning rod gradually wore out.
However, Ji Wuming's pain was gradually decreasing until five hours later, when night had fallen.
Ji Wuming finally stopped the day-long process of drawing lightning to temper his body. At this moment, there were still countless blue arcs of electricity in his body that had not dissipated in time.
As long as Dugu Yan gets close to the Dao, she will be directly numbed by the electric arc.
"Brother Ji, don't you feel annoyed by the fact that there are so many arcs of electricity in your body that haven't dissipated yet?"

"No, I think it feels good."

Hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes. Who asked you to answer like that? You didn't even understand what I really meant.

Dugu Bo, who was standing by, asked with some concern after helping Ji Wuming treat some of his hidden injuries.
"Ji boy, I understand that a strong attacking spirit master must have a strong physique, but you are too obsessed with strengthening your physique. Your real purpose is probably not just as simple as the ultimate attack?" After thinking for a moment about the two people in front of him who cared about him and tried their best to help him, Ji Wuming felt that there was no need to hide some things.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Senior. The main purpose of my body training is not just for the ultimate attack, but for the four words 'cross-level absorption'."

When Dugu Bo heard Ji Wuming say the words "overstepping the level of absorption", the doubts that he had previously put aside were brought up again. If two immortal herbs can allow a soul master to achieve the fourth ring of ten thousand years, then eating ten immortal herbs will allow a soul master to directly absorb a 10-year soul ring when he is at the fourth or fifth soul ring?

"No wonder you're so obsessed with the immortal grass. However, the fourth soul ring can absorb the equivalent of the sixth soul ring of an ordinary soul emperor. I'm afraid the effect of the immortal grass can't reach this level yet!"

Seeing Dugu Bo frowning and doubts rising on his face again, Ji Wuming continued to explain to him,

"I've lived by the sea since I was a child, working as a blacksmith for a living. I use medicinal baths to polish my body and often consume soul beast meat. After obtaining my first soul ring, I used water pressure to train my body, which is how I became who I am today."

As for the whale glue, Ji Wuming thought it was not the right time to speak out, although he had previously made a bet with the Haipo brothers in order to obtain free whale glue.
That would only make people think it was a child's trick of greed, and they would not associate it with the fact that whale glue can increase the number of years of absorbing soul rings.

"I see. Training your body since childhood, especially water pressure training, is no easier than fighting spirit beasts or running. So, maybe after you reach level 50, the minimum spirit ring you can absorb is 4 years old! Once you reach your seventh or even eighth spirit ring, you can absorb a 10-year-old spirit beast."

Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a little terrified when he said this. From ancient times to the present, has there ever been a terrifying existence on the mainland who can add the seventh ring of 70 years to a level 10 Soul Saint?

If I wait for the kid to break through to level 90 with only three 10-year spirit rings, even I, now, would have to respect him.

"Brother Ji, can I also join you in drawing lightning into my body to strengthen my physique so that I can absorb spirit rings of higher levels in the future?"

Dugu Yan looked at Ji Wuming, who was sitting beside her and was determined to become a strong man. She must also work hard to become stronger and not fall too far behind Ji Wuming.

Ji Wuming had anticipated this outcome. Dugu Yan's request was what he wanted to hear the most. Ji Wuming looked at Dugu Yan and said with a smile,

"Little sister, your martial soul is primarily earth-based, supplemented by poison. This gives you an advantage. While your strength increases, you can also resist lightning, or even become immune to it. So, it's not impossible to draw lightning to temper your body."

"Okay, but why did you tell me now? If you had told me earlier, I could have helped you share some of the lightning power when you were tempering your body with lightning!"

Ji Wuming covered his face and smiled. He had to admit that his little sister cared about him very much, but he knew the basic knowledge of thunder and lightning: drawing lightning into the body could only weaken it, not share it.

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter's enthusiasm and did not want to say anything discouraging.
"Yanyan, be careful, grandpa will always keep an eye on you two."
