Chapter 49: Hell White Tiger Breaks Apart
Kong smiled. What would it matter if Ning Rongrong, an auxiliary-type Soul Master, learned this method from Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and the others?
Telling Ning Rongrong would instead put Little Devil Girl Ning Rongrong at risk of dying. How could they possibly tell her?
"No need to guess. My cultivation method is simple: getting struck by lightning!"
Kong said gloomily.
If he had a choice, who the hell would enjoy getting struck by lightning?
And this was not lightning controlled by Ei or the Shogun, but lightning from nature itself!
How terrifying was the power of lightning?
In the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, only Yu Yuanzhen could withstand lightning to temper his body. Even he merely used lightning's power to temper himself and could not directly absorb the energy within it.
Kong was different. Not only did he use lightning to temper his body, but he also directly absorbed its violent energy!
This was one of the reasons why he had risen from level twenty to over level sixty in just six short years.
Ei Wife would siphon away a vast amount of the lightning energy, leaving behind only the portion Kong could endure.
Only Kong, protected by the Thunder God, dared to do something like this. Anyone else would probably be blasted into scraps by lightning!
Using human strength to resist one of nature's most terrifying celestial phenomena—even Titled Douluo-level powerhouses would not dare attempt such a thing lightly!
That was why Ning Fengzhi and the others had remained tight-lipped after learning how Kong cultivated.
Chen Xin was an Item Soul Master and a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse, yet even he did not dare casually try such a thing. Let alone anyone else—one misstep could mean death!
"Struck by lightning?"
Ning Rongrong's mouth fell slightly open, but she hesitated to speak.
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, though shock showed in her beautiful eyes. Clearly, she was deeply stunned.
Lightning—real lightning! It was not as simple as the lightning power wielded by Soul Masters!
Soul Masters had limits, but the limits of nature's celestial phenomena were beyond human imagination!
When Kong had crossed over, Ei Wife had already altered his physique, giving him an extremely high resistance to lightning. However, due to his low cultivation, he could not absorb all the lightning power that struck him, so Ei helped him divert most of the energy.
Seeing that Kong did not appear to be bluffing, Ning Rongrong went numb all over. She finally understood why Ning Fengzhi and the others, after learning Kong's cultivation method, had not allowed the sect's disciples to cultivate the same way.
If they followed Kong's method, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would probably be wiped out before long!
How many disciples could survive lightning from nature?
There was no need to think about it. This cultivation method suited Kong alone. Anyone else who wanted to try would have to gamble with their life!
"With your current strength, it's only natural."
After holding it in for a long while, Ning Rongrong finally said.
At this point, she did not even know what to say. She now understood why Kong was so powerful.
Even lightning could not kill him. Wasn't it only right that he was this strong?
Zhu Zhuqing had previously held onto a sliver of hope that she could rapidly improve her strength after obtaining Kong's cultivation method. Now, that hope was instantly extinguished.
She only wanted to live. She had no desire to court death!
"Of course! Kong is different from those people who are famous in name only. It's perfectly normal for him to be powerful!"
Dugu Yan lifted her chin, looking every bit like a proud peacock.
The man she liked truly was extraordinary!
It was not just his looks—his cultivation method was equally extraordinary!
Just as the four of them were "chatting happily," Dai Mubai walked past with an arm around a pair of twin sisters, laughing and talking with Ma Hongjun.
Everyone: "..."
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun stopped in their tracks, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Ma Hongjun nudged Dai Mubai and whispered, "Boss Dai, isn't it bad for your fiancée to see you like this?"
"Wait, that Little Blondie is actually sitting with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Boss Dai, you..."
Ma Hongjun had never met Dugu Yan or Kong, so he naturally did not know what was going on between them.
The day before yesterday, he had been discussing life and sharing his thoughts with Cui Hua, so he had not been at Shrek Academy.
Dai Mubai hurriedly withdrew his hand and waved at Ma Hongjun, signaling him to stop talking.
He could not afford to provoke that Little Blondie!
Besides, they were merely sitting together for a late-night meal and had not done anything. Dai Mubai was not so petty that he would get angry over that.
Most importantly, he could not beat him...
"Zhuqing, it's not what you think. I... I was just playing along, right, just playing along. I only came out to have fun with Fatty!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's frosty expression and silent demeanor, Dai Mubai hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
It would have been fine if he had not explained, but the moment he did, the twin sisters immediately flew into a rage!
Four days ago, even when Dai Mubai had been so humiliatingly disgraced, they had never abandoned him. Today, after Dai Mubai coaxed them with a few words, they immediately stopped caring about what had happened four days earlier.
And yet, this guy actually called it an act?!
"Dai Mubai, very well! So it was all an act, was it? When have we sisters ever wronged you? Our eighteen years of purity as well..."
"Dai Mubai, from this day on, all ties between us are severed!"
After cursing him a few times, the twin sisters stormed off. Dai Mubai was, after all, a Soul Elder-level powerhouse. If he truly went mad, they might lose their lives. It simply was not worth it!
Dai Mubai was completely dumbfounded. He had never imagined that these two sisters would have such nerve!
At this point, it was probably too late to say anything.
Hm? Wait, where were that little blondie and Dugu Yan?
After looking around, Dai Mubai finally discovered that Kong and Dugu Yan had silently moved dozens of meters away, leaving the scene to them!
These two... they had to be watching the show, right?
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai with some disappointment, but that trace of disappointment soon vanished.
She had cared before because her fate had been bound to Dai Mubai's, leaving her no choice.
After being disappointed too many times, she had fallen into despair.
Now that Ning Rongrong had a way to save her, she would have nothing to do with Dai Mubai anymore. There was no longer any reason for disappointment. They were strangers now—what was there for her to be disappointed about?
"Dai Mubai, let me tell you this: Zhu Zhuqing is now a member of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. From now on, she has nothing whatsoever to do with you. If you dare keep pestering her, I'll have Sword Grandpa break your legs!"
Ning Rongrong stepped forward at that moment and spoke to Dai Mubai with her chin held high.
He was merely an abandoned son. So long as they did not beat him to death, the Star Luo Empire would not fall out with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over such a trivial matter.
"What did you say? Zhu Zhuqing joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?!"
Dai Mubai was stunned. He had never expected Zhu Zhuqing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
She was the Imperial Concubine of the Star Luo Empire—how could she join someone else's sect?
"Dai Mubai, I originally thought the news I heard in Star Luo City was all false. That was why I fled Star Luo City and traveled countless miles to..."
