I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Looking at the ahoge (cowlick) on her head that was emitting a purple-blue light, Xu Xingyu felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through her heart.

Why do I have a cowlick like this?!?

Although characters with ahoge (cowlicks) are usually good-looking in the two-dimensional world of Earth, that's two-dimensional! From a three-dimensional perspective, they're just an eyesore!

Xu Xingyu tried her best to suppress the ahoge (cowlick), but no matter how hard she tried, it just kept sticking up.

Finally, Xu Xingyu had the idea of ​​plucking the ahoge (cowlick). However, just as Xu Xingyu was about to pluck the ahoge, he didn't touch the ahoge but instead touched something hard.

This made Xu Xingyu suspicious, so she picked up the mirror again and saw that the ahoge that had been bothering her was gone, replaced by a sharp purple horn.

Looking at the sharp horn, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Could this be an external soul bone?"

The moment Xu Xingyu finished speaking, the Thunderous Hell Vine, which had just transformed into a spirit, gave its answer through the contract between the two: this unicorn horn was the soul bone it had bestowed.

At the same time, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng also told Xu Xingyu what the effects of the soul bone it provided were.

After hearing Lei Mingyan Yuteng's explanation, Xu Xingyu could only put on a strange expression.

Because this feature is just too outrageous!

Simply put, this unicorn horn does not grant Xu Xingyu any soul skills, but it does possess the ability of the Thunderous Hell Vine to draw in lightning.

It can grant Xu Xingyu the freedom to control the lightning element, while also allowing him to absorb lightning power to aid his cultivation.

Cultivating in this way will not only enhance Xu Xingyu's soul power, but also her blood and qi power and spiritual power.

There is a major prerequisite: whether one's body can withstand the violent power of the lightning.

This left Xu Xingyu feeling somewhat helpless, and she wanted to complain that this was just an enhanced version of a lightning rod.

Thinking back to the novels he read on Earth, many protagonists liked to use being struck by lightning to temper their bodies and enhance their cultivation. Now, was it his turn to do it himself?

After mentally complaining that she seemed to be on the path to being struck by lightning, Xu Xingyu began to meditate in the Thunder Pool, preparing to try out this so-called lightning body tempering.

Xu Xingyu closed her eyes and began to channel her soul power into the single horn on her head. As the soul power flowed in, the horn began to emit a purple light.

Soon, the Thunder Pool beneath Xu Xingyu's feet began to stir, with bursts of lightning appearing on its surface, and the magma formed from the lightning within the pool began to swirl around Xu Xingyu's body.

Finally, the lightning plasma poured down on Xu Xingyu like a waterfall.

The instant the lightning touched Xu Xingyu, he quickly activated his cultivation technique, the Origin Star Celestial Body Technique, and the purple horn on his head, absorbing the violent lightning power at an extremely fast speed.

To Xu Xingyu's surprise, he could clearly feel the impurities in his body being purified while absorbing the power of thunder.

Although Xu Xingyu, as the possessor of the Dragon God's bloodline, already has very few impurities in her body, even a small amount is still something, and every bit of improvement is beneficial.

But what excited Xu Xingyu the most was that when absorbing the power of thunder, he could clearly feel his soul power circulating at an extremely fast speed, and that the power of thunder could also purify the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he absorbed from the outside world to an extremely pure level.

It should be noted that Xu Xingyu, as the possessor of the Dragon God bloodline, has very high requirements for the purity of energy. Every time she cultivates, the energy she absorbs is purified a second time by Xu Xingyu's bloodline, which filters out the originally large amount of soul power to only a trace.

If Xu Xingyu hadn't cultivated the Origin Star Celestial Body Technique, a special technique that could condense a chaotic core within his body, his early cultivation might have required him to consume a large number of high-level rare and precious treasures, much like the salted fish 20,000 years later, just to keep up with his peers.

The current cultivation method of absorbing lightning can directly purify the energy to the purity required for the Dragon God's bloodline, thus eliminating the need for further purification and ensuring that the absorbed energy does not significantly decrease.

The drawback of this cultivation method is that it can easily leave hidden injuries in the body, and one must endure great pain during cultivation, since being struck by lightning is not a pleasant experience (a former sea god gave a thumbs up).

However, the former is not a problem at all for Xu Xingyu, who has the bloodline of the Dragon God and has fused with the Gold of Life. If he suffers any hidden injuries, he can repair them directly with his superb recovery speed.

As for the pain that Xu Xingyu supposedly experienced from the raging thunder, for some reason, he seemed to gradually adapt to it as Xu Xingyu absorbed the energy of the Thunder Pool. He even reached out and drank the thunder liquid from the Thunder Pool because he felt it wasn't exciting enough.

Just like there's only zero times and countless times when it comes to cross-dressing, there's also only zero times and countless times when it comes to courting death.

After about three hours, Xu Xingyu finally completely absorbed the thunder pool left behind by the Thunderous Hell Vine.

Looking at the dried-up Thunder Pool, Xu Xingyu secretly apologized to the Thunderous Hell Vine. The other party said it was fine, because if it weren't for preventing those immortal herbs from attacking her, it would have already taken the time to devour the Thunder Pool completely.

Moreover, when Xu Xingyu absorbed the energy of the Thunder Pool, the Thunderous Hell Vine also shared a portion of the thunderous power and absorbed it, thereby increasing its cultivation level from the original 40,000 years to 70,000 years.

Xu Xingyu was very pleased with the improvement of the Thunderous Hell Vine and said that he would let him know whenever he sensed any thunderous power in the future.

Unless I'm particularly busy, I'll take advantage of that time to fully enjoy the baptism of thunder.

As for the issue of cultivation level, Xu Xingyu said there was no need to worry about that.

This is because Xu Xingyu's body is now undoubtedly at the level of a Soul Saint, and her spiritual power is roughly at the so-called Spirit Abyss Realm, so a 100,000-year-old Soul Spirit is not a problem at all.

Xu Xingyu also told this news to his other soul spirit, Xingxuan, and allowed it to further release the sealed energy.

Soon, the colors of Xu Xingyu's four spirit rings began to change. After Xu Xingyu released her five Ziwei Star rings, the four black spirit rings began to slowly rise.

Looking at the four black spirit rings, Xu Xingyu was very satisfied. Although Xingxuan's cultivation level was once that of a ferocious beast, he had lost most of his original essence due to some accidents, so it was already quite good that he could recover to this level at this stage.

After a good rest, Xu Xingyu planned to return to the place where she had been stationed. Wang Dong'er should have gotten up by now, so she could start thinking about how to comfort her for not being able to pick the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

However, the moment he arrived at the encampment, Xu Xingyu's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a goose egg. Gu Yuena and Wang Dong'er, whom he thought were rivals who disliked each other, were acting like two extremely close best friends!

What exactly happened when he left?!?!?!?
