Lightning Body Tempering, All Sides Watching in Secret!

Lightning Body Tempering?

Holy shit!

Was this kid really not afraid of dying?

Lei Kuang looked at Hu Bai with a strange expression, but Hu Bai's face was calm, without the slightest hint that he was joking.

After handing Hu Bai over to Lei Kuang, Bibi Dong left.

For the next period of time, Hu Bai would spend every afternoon studying Lightning Law and Light Law.

After Bibi Dong left, Lei Kuang took Hu Bai out of Pope's Palace. Hu Bai asked curiously, "Uncle Lei, since you're the Branch Hall Master of Thunder City, you must be pretty strong, right?"

Lei Kuang chuckled. "Of course. Thunder City is one of the Heaven Dou Empire's major cities, and Thunder Academy is located there. If I weren't strong enough, how could I handle any trouble that came up?"

Thunder Academy was one of the continent's Five Great Element Academies. It was said that its dean was a Soul Douluo powerhouse, and it was backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. For Lei Kuang to establish himself in Thunder City, he surely had some real ability.

"Then, Uncle Lei, could you tell me about your Martial Soul and Soul Power? I wonder whether you're stronger, or my dad and mom are stronger?" Hu Bai knowingly asked. Xie Tian and Hu Leyao were both only Soul Saints. Unless they used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they probably were no match for Lei Kuang.

Still, his parents looked much younger than the man before him.

Lei Kuang chuckled. "Since you're so curious, I'll tell you. My Martial Soul is the Mutated Lightning War Hammer, and I'm an eighty-third-level assault-type Soul Douluo. As for your parents, they should both still be Soul Saints. Unless they use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they won't be my opponents."

Lei Kuang was very confident in his own strength. He was not yet fifty years old. If he taught this Little Fellow Hu Bai well, then barring any accidents, he would have a chance to advance to Titled Douluo in this lifetime!

Once he became a Titled Douluo, he would become an elder of Spirit Hall, with authority surpassed only by the Pope and the worship elders stronger than him!

Lei Kuang led Hu Bai to a back mountain within Spirit Hall, his expression turning grave. "Little Fellow, are you sure you want to try Lightning Body Tempering? You may have some resistance to lightning, but Lightning Body Tempering is no joke."

With Lei Kuang's current strength, he could endure Lightning Body Tempering, but there was no longer any need for it. Besides, what sane person would use such a method to torture themselves? One careless mistake, and even treatment would cost a considerable sum.

Oh, no, that was wrong. One careless mistake, and he would simply croak!

When Lei Kuang had been as young as Hu Bai, he had never considered Lightning Body Tempering. Even among the people at Thunder Academy, he had never seen anyone with such a crazy idea.

Given a choice, many people would rather choose Ice Fire Body Tempering than Lightning Body Tempering.

Ice Fire Body Tempering initially tempered the surface of the body, and it was easier to control.

What about Lightning Body Tempering? Because lightning possessed such powerful penetration, it tempered not only the surface, but also the inside of the body!

Like metal, humans could conduct electricity. That meant lightning would pass through the body's surface and stimulate the Meridians within. A single mistake in controlling it could directly cripple someone!

With knowledge from his previous life, Hu Bai naturally understood this as well, yet he was still willing to give it a try. After all, this was a Fantasy World. Though it was a bottom-tier fantasy world, surely getting shocked once would not make his Meridians send him straight to the afterlife, right?

"Can you tell me why you're willing to take such a risk?" Lei Kuang really wanted to know what such a young child was thinking.

Hu Bai said, "My thoughts are simple. I want to improve my physique as much as possible, and every Soul Ring I obtain must be as close to the Ultimate Attribute as possible. For example, Uncle Lei, the maximum age my First Soul Ring could withstand was eight hundred years, yet I chose to absorb a Thunderclap Nether Vine that was more than five hundred years old.

"To me, a Soul Beast's bloodline and attributes rank above its age. The benefits of improving my physique have already shown themselves. If I hadn't taken Whale Rubber to strengthen my body back then, then even if I had luckily encountered that Thunderclap Nether Vine, I could only have watched it helplessly, couldn't I?"

Lei Kuang understood now. Preparing for the future at such a young age was truly rare and valuable.

"Good!" Lei Kuang's sudden shout startled even Hu Bai.

"I like your personality. Then let's begin now! With your current physique, you can't withstand heavenly lightning, so we'll start with something simple. I'll channel electricity into you. That way, I can temper your body within the limits of what you can endure, and it'll be easier to control." Lei Kuang proposed the safest method.

He had just heard Hu Bai explain that the Thunderclap Nether Vine, a top-tier lightning-attribute plant Soul Beast, attracted heavenly lightning to increase its cultivation. But Hu Bai was not a Thunderclap Nether Vine. If he tried that, would he not be struck to death alive?

Bibi Dong had likely sent him back specifically because she wanted him to use this method to temper Hu Bai's body. Otherwise, with her strength, she could completely protect Hu Bai at his side while he drew down heavenly lightning.

But that approach was far too dangerous. Even Bibi Dong likely did not have complete confidence in it.

"Alright." Hu Bai answered, then sat cross-legged on the ground. Lei Kuang sat behind him, extending both hands and placing them against Hu Bai's back.

High above them, where neither could see, Bibi Dong watched the two below with a calm, indifferent expression.

Yet if one looked closely at the hand clutching the Pope's Scepter, they would see that her fingers had turned somewhat pale from gripping it too tightly, revealing how unsettled she truly was.

Then, the Five Great Worships appeared around her as well. Azure Luan and Light Feather Douluo had already set out for Sea God Island.

In the void, the six people said nothing. As though they did not know one another, they all watched every movement below.

Below.

Lei Kuang did not release his Martial Soul, yet countless lightning serpents were already coursing across his body. With Hu Bai's current cultivation, if he released his Martial Soul, there would be no need for body tempering—they could just collect the corpse.

"Kid, focus. Use your Soul Power as much as possible to protect the Meridians inside your body!"

Lei Kuang did not need to tell him; Hu Bai had already done so. When lightning entered Hu Bai's body through Lei Kuang's palms, part of it seeped directly through the tiny pores in his skin.

To make body tempering easier, Hu Bai had removed his shirt, exposing his fair, smooth upper body. He was truly soft-skinned and tender-fleshed.

At first, Lei Kuang did not turn up the power too high. Instead, he increased it little by little, saying as he did, "If you can't endure it, make sure to tell me immediately. You can't wait until your Meridians are nearly unable to take it before speaking up. Tell me when you're at around eighty percent, understand?"

Hu Bai was already feeling the pain. Clenching his teeth tightly, he could only respond to Lei Kuang's warning with a quiet grunt.
