Bibi Dong's Fierce Protectiveness, the Ethereal State, the Legendary Ultimate Attribute?

His originally fair upper body had been scorched somewhat black by the lightning. Only after Hu Bai answered did Lei Kuang maintain a steady lightning output, roughly equivalent to Level 15 in power.

Although Hu Bai's Second Soul Ring was three thousand years old, that did not mean his body could withstand Soul Elder-level Lightning Power without any protection.

Surface burns would have been one thing, but the lightning seeped into his internal meridians and even his Internal Organs.

At the beginning, stability was essential. A Soul Master's meridians were nowhere near as resilient as their skin.

Hu Bai could endure such power because he possessed Lightning Element Affinity and Lightning Element Resistance. Otherwise, if another Soul Master of the same level were in his place, the power would likely have needed to be reduced further.

Lei Kuang was also intensely focused. He had to maintain this output for at least Half an Hour, which consumed a great deal of his strength!

Body tempering required time as well. Half an Hour was considered the minimum standard!

Above them, Bibi Dong watched Hu Bai grit his teeth, and worry and pain appeared on her face. Why did this child have to put himself through this?

Such a beautiful child—yet during this Lightning Body Tempering, his Snow White Long Hair had turned black, his body had darkened, and his face was twisted in pain. The instant sweat appeared on his forehead, it was evaporated by the lightning.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a fine boy. He actually has such resolve! Seeing how he looked before, I thought he might be somewhat delicate. But now, it seems this boy possesses an exceptionally strong heart and an intense desire to grow stronger!" Mighty Lion Douluo could not help but praise him.

Mighty Lion had not been wrong to think that at first. Influenced by his Martial Soul, Hu Bai was naturally strikingly handsome—a bona fide Handsome Man.

In some people's eyes, that was synonymous with weakness!

You looked so frail that the wind could blow you over. How strong could you possibly be?

It was easy to leave people with such a fixed impression.

Even Bibi Dong had been the same. Otherwise, she would not have initially suggested that Hu Bai pursue the path of Mental Control. It was not merely because of his Martial Soul, but also because of his appearance.

"If you don't know how to speak, then keep your mouth shut!" Bibi Dong said coldly. He was her Disciple; how could she allow someone to speak of him like that?

Mighty Lion Douluo's words clearly contained praise, but some of his phrasing still displeased Bibi Dong greatly.

"Bibi Dong! Say that again?!" Mighty Lion Douluo had a fiery temper and was about to lose it, but Qian Daoliu stopped him.

Because Qian Daoliu could tell that Bibi Dong's heart ached for her Disciple.

"All right, all right, Fourth Brother. Bibi Dong is only concerned about Hu Bai, so don't take it too much to heart." Qian Daoliu played the peacemaker.

Mighty Lion Douluo snorted. If not for the fact that Hu Bai was indeed diligent and possessed an unyielding temperament, he would not have swallowed this grievance even if Qian Daoliu had intervened!

Gradually, half an hour passed. Hu Bai's little face was slightly pale, but he continued enduring it. He could feel that compared to the pain at the start, he was already feeling much better.

He knew it was not because his physique had improved significantly, but because he had grown accustomed to this level of intensity and had even become somewhat numb, creating that illusion.

It was like in his previous life, when the Gym Teacher made you jog Ten Laps. At first, it was agonizing, but later, you would feel as if your body had transformed. The body that had originally felt so heavy and painful would become light.

He was now in that state. Gradually, both his body and mind entered an Ethereal and Self-Forgetful state, as though he could no longer feel the pain in his body.

Sensing Hu Bai's aura gradually stabilize, Lei Kuang was startled, afraid that something might happen to Hu Bai. Just as he prepared to reduce his output, he discovered Specks of Lightning Element and Light Element flickering around Hu Bai before entering his body.

Where Lei Kuang could not see, the Lightning Element formed an extremely thin protective layer over Hu Bai's meridians, while the Light Element attached itself to his body and healed his injuries.

Not only that, Hu Bai's Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Martial Soul suddenly emerged behind him. One Yellow and One Purple Soul Rings flickered around him, continuously absorbing the two surrounding elements.

"Th-This is...!" Lei Kuang instinctively wanted to stop.

But then an icy voice rang out. "Continue. Maintain the same output!"

The next moment, Bibi Dong and the Five Great Worships appeared together, surrounding Hu Bai and Lei Kuang.

Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and the others could not help but be astonished by the strange scene before them.

"Eldest Brother, what is happening?" Qian Jun Falling Devil asked in unison.

Qian Daoliu's expression was grave. "Hu Bai should have entered an extremely rare state. And I can sense that the elemental purity contained within the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's two Soul Rings is increasing! Although it is extremely slow, it is indeed increasing!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo said, "Eldest Brother, do you mean Hu Bai's two Soul Rings are undergoing a transformation? Evolving?"

Qian Daoliu fell silent for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Most likely. There seems to be an Ancient Book in Spirit Hall that recorded something similar. Once an attribute reaches a certain level, it can be called an Ultimate Attribute, and an Ultimate Attribute possesses absolute suppression over attributes of the same type.

But after all these years on the continent, I have never seen anyone possess an Ultimate Attribute. Not even my Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul qualifies. If anyone came closest to an Ultimate Attribute, it would probably be Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island. She possesses the power to control the sea, but in my opinion, that still does not count as an absolute Ultimate Attribute. More of her power was bestowed upon her by that lord."

Golden Crocodile said, "Then, Eldest Brother, do you mean that Hu Bai may one day control Ultimate Lightning and Ultimate Light? Perhaps later, he may even..."

Golden Crocodile did not finish, but everyone knew what he meant: the ultimate form of every element!

How terrifying would that be!

An Ultimate Attribute meant absolute dominion within its corresponding elemental domain!

When that time came, even if Hu Bai did not possess many Soul Rings to provide Attribute Amplification, so what?

My Ultimate Attribute would absolutely suppress yours. No matter how many enhancements you had, you would still be suppressed!

"Very likely. But I need to go back and search further before confirming this matter. None of you are allowed to speak of this to anyone else, understood?"

"Yes!" Lei Kuang vowed solemnly.

He knew Qian Daoliu's words were actually directed at him, and he was excited as well. This was his first time seeing the Great Worship!

He had never met Qian Daoliu, but merely from the words "Six-Winged Angel," he could guess the identity of the man before him!

P.S. Let me ask: what conditions were needed later on to comprehend the Element Heart? I'm worried the information I found isn't complete. Does anyone know?

What I know is this: one must possess an Ultimate Attribute, gain enlightenment in battle, and achieve Soul Resonance with the elements.
