Xiao Wu's Lightning Resistance and the Spirit Condensing Formation

Ning Fengzhi stroked Ning Rongrong's head and smiled.

"Rongrong, if fate permits, you will meet again. That young man you encountered was so outstanding that one day, he would surely make a name for himself across the continent.

"When that time came, you would see each other again."

"That's all it can be, then."

Though disappointed, Ning Rongrong could only accept the outcome.

After leaving Ning Rongrong's room, Ning Fengzhi encountered Bone Douluo.

"Is Rongrong still upset? There really isn't the slightest clue about that kid?"

Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly.

"Uncle Bone, I want to find that young man named Han Li even more than Rongrong does.

"After all, the Golden Light Talisman Rongrong used, as well as the explosive talisman she mentioned, would be of tremendous significance to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect if we could purchase them in large quantities.

"But with only a name and a Martial Soul, finding him would be easier said than done.

"Besides, I suspect that young man used a false name."

"A false name? How could that be? Did that young man foresee that Rongrong would look for him?"

Bone Douluo looked astonished.

"Rongrong used the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, so he must have guessed her identity.

"At the time, the outcome between us and Spirit Hall had yet to be decided. It was understandable that he did not wish to expose his true identity.

"If we had lost, Spirit Hall might have come after him afterward.

"As for our reward, perhaps he did not need it.

"He was only accidentally dragged into the matter. To avoid trouble, concealing his identity was the best choice.

"If it were me, I would have done the same."

"You people are full of twists and turns. I can't understand any of you.

"As long as my Rongrong doesn't get hurt, that's enough."

Ning Fengzhi smiled.

"Uncle Bone, originally, you were the only one spoiling Rongrong. You played the good cop while I played the bad cop, which was good for Rongrong's growth.

"But now Uncle Sword has returned, and he spoils Rongrong without limit as well.

"One bad cop cannot stand against two good cops. The two of you should restrain yourselves a little. Don't spoil Rongrong rotten."

"I don't care! Ever since that old fellow Chen Xin came back, I've dropped to second place in Rongrong's heart. Of course I still have to play the good cop.

"If you have the ability, make that old fellow play the bad cop."

Bone Douluo crossed his arms, wearing an expression that brooked no argument.

Ning Fengzhi felt even more helpless.

He could only decide to be stricter in the future.

Fortunately, now that Sword Douluo had returned, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had become even stronger. Ning Fengzhi was more at ease than before and could spare more time to nurture Ning Rongrong.

Meanwhile, Nuoding Academy remained as peaceful as ever.

The Spirit Hall incident that had shaken the continent had virtually no effect on this remote little city.

Back Mountain Waterfall.

Xiao Wu sat cross-legged on the ground, wisps of white lightning arcing over her body.

"Looks like Xiao Wu really did absorb some Evil-Warding White Lightning into her body."

Li Han watched curiously, but he did not disturb her.

Before long, Xiao Wu finished cultivating and opened her eyes, which were filled with delight.

"Li Han! Your Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaves are incredible!

"I can feel a trace of lightning-element power inside my body, and my resistance to lightning has become stronger too.

"Simply put, my Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Martial Soul can now resist lightning!

"If I keep eating them, maybe I can even become immune to lightning!"

Li Han raised an eyebrow.

Well, damn. Lightning immunity, even?

Was she trying to become the nemesis of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?

"This time, you cultivated so diligently. How many levels did your Soul Power break through?"

"Hehe, guess?"

Xiao Wu smiled mischievously.

"Fifteen?"

Li Han asked tentatively.

"That's right! I was level twelve after absorbing my Soul Ring, and in less than four months, I've actually risen a full three levels!

"If it weren't for these Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaves, I would have improved by at most a little over one level.

"Li Han, you really are my lucky star!"

Xiao Wu threw her arms around Li Han, her face full of excitement.

"It seems Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaves truly provide enormous benefits to soul beasts."

Li Han thought to himself as he pushed Xiao Wu away.

Those little arms and legs of hers were surprisingly strong.

"Let me see your Martial Soul."

"Okay!"

Xiao Wu immediately summoned her Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Martial Soul.

A white lightning pattern had appeared on the rabbit's body, looking exceptionally mysterious.

"Huh? Why is there an extra lightning pattern?"

Xiao Wu was stunned when she saw the pattern on her Martial Soul.

She had used this Soft Bone Charm Rabbit's true form for a hundred thousand years, yet such a pattern had never appeared before.

"The energy from the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaves must have entered your Martial Soul, which is why this white lightning pattern formed.

"From the current situation, it should be a good thing."

Li Han said after studying it for a while.

"Li Han, your Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaves are amazing. They can actually cause a beneficial acquired mutation in a Martial Soul."

Xiao Wu exclaimed in amazement.

"I didn't expect this effect either.

"Anyway, this is a secret. Keep it secret."

Li Han made a motion as though zipping his mouth shut, and Xiao Wu immediately understood.

"Got it!"

Xiao Wu promptly covered her mouth in cooperation.

"These are fresh bamboo leaves that grew from the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. They're covered in blue lightning arcs. Give them a try."

Li Han took out new Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaves and handed them to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up as she snatched them.

"Li Han, you're so good to me!"

Then Xiao Wu ate the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaves like a rabbit.

"What powerful lightning-element energy. It's two or three times stronger than before!

"I'm so full.

"Looks like I'll need to digest these Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaves for several days before I can eat more."

Li Han's Soul Power was now ten levels higher than Xiao Wu's, so the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaves he condensed were naturally not something Xiao Wu could easily digest.

"Then I'll give you these three first. Once you finish them, I'll give you more."

"Okay!"

Night.

Dorm Seven.

Li Han lay on his bed, rapidly reviewing the Compendium of Formations he had obtained earlier in his mind.

Setting up these formations wasn't difficult. What I lack are materials.

The cultivation world has Spirit Stones, but Douluo Continent does not.

If I use only my own Soul Power to power the formations, not only will it exhaust me, but the formations' effectiveness will also be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, the Compendium of Formations provides a solution.

Awakening stones used when Martial Souls are awakened and crystal balls used to test Soul Power can both replace Spirit Stones, though they can only substitute for the lowest-grade Spirit Stones.

In other words, the formations I can currently set up are only low-grade formations.

Such as the Lost Track Formation, Wood Barrier Formation, Wind Blade Formation, and so on.

To set up high-grade formations like the Inverted Five Elements Formation, not only must my mastery of formations improve, but I also need a higher-grade source of Soul Power.

The Compendium of Formations mentioned a formation called the Spirit Condensing Formation.

If a soul beast whose Soul Ring has not yet been absorbed is placed within this formation and refined, its Soul Ring can be forged into a Soul Beast Crystal.

Such Soul Beast Crystals can be used as Spirit Stones to set up formations.

The stronger the soul beast, the stronger the Soul Beast Crystal.

Most importantly, these Soul Beast Crystals can also be used like demon beast inner cores to refine pills.

Once I break through level forty, ordinary pills will no longer be of much use to me.

Only pills refined from these Soul Beast Crystals can allow me to maintain a faster cultivation speed.

Therefore, the Spirit Condensing Formation is a formation I must learn.

Whether for setting up formations or refining pills, I will need it.
