Inside the apartment.
With a ding, the floor light came on, and the elevator doors slid open.
A figure in a long black trench coat stepped out. Rainwater continually seeped from the coat, winding across the corridor floor and leaving behind a long trail of water.
Upon returning home, Fang Yi immediately tossed the trench coat into the trash.
"The clothes were already torn apart by the lightning."
Fang Yi sat on the sofa. He should have felt exhausted, but his body now felt like that of a marathon runner who had just finished a race—not tired in the slightest, but invigorated by the exertion.
He still remembered how, when he had first absorbed lightning, his body had felt as though it were falling apart. The absorption had been painful at the time, yet once it was over, he had felt incredibly energetic.
"Lightning Affinity is likewise an immensely powerful and unyielding attribute. Compared to the Yang Attribute, it excels in offense. It isn't as gentle and mellow as the Yang Attribute, but it is even stronger in battle."
Fang Yi closed his eyes and focused, beginning to cultivate the Divine Thunder Refinement.
Strands of lightning seeped into his flesh.
He felt the power of lightning coursing recklessly through his body, as though countless tiny snakes were dancing within every one of his cells.
The power of lightning was not merely destruction and ruin, but a mysterious baptism and rebirth. Every strand of electric current traveling through his muscles, bones, and meridians meticulously tempered and strengthened every part of him.
Under the tempering of Lightning Affinity, Fang Yi's body seemed to have been placed inside a furnace, sparks flying everywhere. Yet he felt no pain, only a strange numbness and comfort. Every time his muscles and bones were shattered by lightning, it came with an indescribable thrill.
He felt his body being gradually tempered by lightning.
Blue-violet radiance gradually seeped into his golden blood and qi.
Visible to the naked eye, Fang Yi's body became tougher and more solid. Every inch of his skin exuded an indescribable power and mystery.
Just as Fang Yi had expected, Lightning Affinity was the ultimate spear, yet it was also innately the finest shield. His body, strengthened by Lightning Affinity, was several times more powerful than before.
If his physical constitution had previously been the utmost strength forged by the Golden Sun Breathing Technique, it had now gained the supreme rigidity of Lightning Affinity. If he faced another violent High-level Attribute like Lightning Affinity again, entering it would no longer cause his body such agony.
"If it were a thunderstorm, the cultivation effect should be even better."
Fang Yi gazed at the rain beyond the window, feeling a trace of regret.
Once Lightning Affinity had been drawn into his body, the judgment of heaven and earth had come to an end as well.
The rain fell in threads, pattering against the window. There was no sign of thunder returning.
"Come to think of it, when I entered the center of that lightning to observe Lightning Affinity, didn't it feel a little like the tribulations people used to undergo?"
"Lightning Affinity only requires touching lightning, but a Thunder Tribulation strikes directly onto the body. And it's often eighty-one bolts at a time. Just hearing that sounds painful."
"If I had taken eighty-one hits in the center of that lightning, my body at the time definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it. Looks like the great powers of fantasy really were something else."
"A Thunder Tribulation is recognition for the strong, a hurdle that cannot be avoided on the path of evolution. I wonder whether, once my Divine Thunder Refinement reaches the later stages, I'll have a Thunder Tribulation to undergo."
Fang Yi was already beginning to look forward to it.
He wanted to use the divine lightning filling the sky to test this physique reforged by Divine Thunder Refinement!
Fang Yi checked the Lightning Affinity template.
Pure lightning Judgment Power. Punishing all fiendish things grants 300% critical damage!
"As expected of the Lightning Affinity that commands divine punishment. What a brutally high critical hit."
Fang Yi clicked his tongue inwardly.
Spirit Qi Recovery benefited not only humanity. In fact, humans were among the weakest beneficiaries.
A great cataclysm began with the Great World Change, followed by the mutation of animals and plants.
The rabbit he had killed earlier belonged to that category.
Fiends were far more terrifying than those mutated animals and plants. Sooner or later, he would have to face them. In that case, the effects of Lightning Affinity were undoubtedly a godsend.
When the time came, killing Fiends would be much quicker.
"I wonder if Lightning Affinity can be forcibly implanted into the Tang Saber?"
A thought occurred to him.
The Tang Saber already possessed the Yang Attribute. Adding Lightning Affinity would make it even tougher.
However, he abandoned the idea the very next second.
"The Tang Saber is currently filled to the brim with Yang Attribute. Adding Lightning Affinity would instead ruin the purity of that Yang Attribute."
He wanted a weapon of ultimate Yang Attribute.
Besides, once too many attributes were injected into it, the mixed and conflicting attributes might exceed what the Tang Saber could withstand.
After thinking it over, Fang Yi gave up on implanting Lightning Affinity into the Tang Saber.
"Then where should I implant it? Should I buy another saber and go with a dual-blade style?"
As he pondered, Fang Yi inadvertently lowered his head, and his gaze fell upon his right hand.
"Implant it into my right hand."
Fang Yi's eyes lit up.
His right hand could serve as an attack method, and he would not need to adapt to carrying a second weapon.
Would you like to forcibly implant Lightning Affinity into this object?
"Yes."
Fang Yi did not hesitate.
Dense lightning patterns emerged across his palm, accompanied by a tingling sensation.
Immediately afterward, white lightning began appearing in Fang Yi's palm.
Intertwining and boiling, it was utterly terrifying!
A powerful and violent aura erupted from his palm. Strands of lightning flashed, every one of them carrying Judgment Power!
His right hand was covered in Thunder Power, every inch of skin containing unimaginable electrical energy.
He casually raised his hand.
Purple arcs burst from the center of his palm, like a brilliant dragon of lightning spiraling upward.
Lightning churned around his palm with rumbling peals of thunder. Every finger could condense deadly electricity.
With a light punch, a streak of lightning instantly condensed into form, releasing a blinding radiance that illuminated everything around him.
It crackled and hissed, bearing incomparably powerful violence and punishment!
"My right hand can now sense the surging electrical energy in the air."
Fang Yi spoke softly.
Lightning blossomed with dazzling radiance over his palm, like a blooming thundercloud that gave off intense electrical energy.
Fang Yi could now clearly sense the difference between his left and right hands.
Most obviously, if he encountered that rabbit again, he could effortlessly crush it to pieces directly with his right hand.
Lightning Affinity feared no other attribute. Only a handful of attributes could contend with it. His right hand was like a tiny Thunder Forbidden Zone—wherever it touched was filled with Thunder Power, and it could directly clash head-on with other attributes!
It was simply tyrannical beyond measure!
At this moment, Fang Yi, transformed by Lightning Affinity, could truly be called a Humanoid Thunder God.
