Stored for a Thousand Days, Today is When You Contribute Yourselves

In truth, Yu Tianchen had long wanted to conduct an in-depth study of his own martial soul.

Currently, his control over the Five Thunder Shock Drums remained at the most rudimentary level of application.

Either he used the Five Thunder Shock Drums to directly summon lightning to strike down, or he utilized the Five Thunder Shock Drums to regulate lightning to coat his body, leveraging the power of thunder to amplify his speed and strength.

Given the specifications of the Five Thunder Shock Drums within the Honor of Kings worldview, its potential for development was still very deep.

"Come to think of it, how did Sikong Zhen use the Five Thunder Shock Drums again?"

Yu Tianchen recalled the worldview and background he had learned from the game back when he had nothing to do in his previous life.

His greatest impression of the Five Thunder Shock Drums was that it was the weapon of Sikong Zhen, capable of drawing upon the power of heavenly thunder for his own use, and it seemed to be a ritual implement for a cleric.

Then there was that segment where "Prisoner Zhen" was instantly defeated by Hai Yue.

"Wait, it seems like Sikong Zhen would have his clothes shredded when he used the Five Thunder Shock Drums at full power..."

"Why don't my clothes get shredded?"

Yu Tianchen suddenly pondered this question.

Could it be that he had always been using the Five Thunder Shock Drums in their most basic state and had never fully activated them at all?

Thinking this, he summoned the Five Thunder Shock Drums once more and began to sense them carefully.

Five small drums bearing strange patterns began to hover around his body, mysterious seals manifesting upon them while simultaneously flickering with the luster of thunder.

These glimmers gradually expanded, eventually shrouding the small drums themselves.

Beads of cold sweat began to drip from Yu Tianchen's forehead.

A short moment passed quickly.

Just as Yu Tianchen vaguely found a certain feeling, a violent surge of thunder suddenly erupted from the Five Thunder Shock Drums, rushing into his body.

Yu Tianchen's face turned pale, and he was forced to terminate the sensation.

He gasped for breath, his clothes soaked through with sweat.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

Yu Tianchen murmured softly, the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably.

He seemed to have grasped a hint of the ultimate usage of the Five Thunder Shock Drums.

Moreover, the intensity of the thunder that had just erupted from the Five Thunder Shock Drums far surpassed the thunder he was currently using.

It was highly likely that the thunder driven by the Five Thunder Shock Drums when fully activated was the Ultimate Thunder!

Perhaps once he fully mastered this power, the thunder he drove in his normal state could also transform into the Ultimate Thunder!

This discovery was far too important for Yu Tianchen.

Ultimate Thunder and ordinary thunder were simply not in the same league when it came to damage.

It was just that his current physical strength could not yet adapt to the power of the Five Thunder Shock Drums in its fully enabled state.

Otherwise, that strike just now might have allowed Yu Tianchen to directly enter the stance of "Shattering the darkness with thunder."

His physical body was still not tough enough!

His physical body was still not strong enough!

"Could it be that I have to wait until the Great Sun Thunder Body advances further before I can attempt to use this power?"

Yu Tianchen frowned in contemplation.

If he had to wait for the Great Sun Thunder Body to advance further, it seemed a bit too slow.

During his journey back these past few days, Yu Tianchen had not stopped the process of cultivating the Great Sun Thunder Body.

When drawing heavenly thunder to temper his body and cultivate his soul power, not only was the speed of opening his meridians much slower than before, but a portion of his soul power would also be drawn away by those yet-to-form Soul Power Vortex.

Although the portion being drawn away did not affect Yu Tianchen's normal growth of soul power, he had to spend time meditating to absorb back the drawn-away soul power after every cultivation session.

At this rate, it would take a considerable amount of time for him to advance his Great Sun Thunder Body further.

Unless there was something that could significantly shorten this time.

Hm?

Significantly... shorten this time?

Yu Tianchen's head felt as if it had been struck by a flash of inspiration, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It looks like it's time to deploy my secret weapon!"

He stood up and walked toward his room.

Given his current physique, there should be no problem taking that thing!

Arriving in his room, Yu Tianchen pulled a massive wooden chest out from under his bed.

Opening it, a rich and pungent medicinal fragrance rushed toward his face.

It was nothing but medicinal herbs!

In the center of these medicinal herbs sat two rows of crystalline, golden-hued gelatinous solids.

There were six pieces in total.

All of them were thousand-year Whale Rubber.

At the center of these Whale Rubber pieces sat two smaller boxes.

Inside were amber-colored gelatinous solids.

Ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber!

These were the resources Yu Tianchen had managed to siphon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan over the past two years.

Because he had been too young when he first acquired them, he had never dared to consume the thousand-year or ten-thousand-year quality Whale Rubber, fearing it would burst his body.

Now, his physical constitution was strong enough to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring!

Consuming these Whale Rubber pieces should be no problem at all!

Furthermore, when Su Ye was absorbing his spirit ring, he had been able to use the power within the ring to open up the meridians required for cultivating the Great Sun Thunder Body.

Perhaps the energy contained within the Whale Rubber could do the same!

"My treasures, kept for a thousand days, today is the day you contribute yourselves."

Yu Tianchen gently stroked the Whale Rubber, then closed the box and carried it out of the room.

Arriving in the courtyard, Yu Tianchen called out toward the gate:

"Xiao Yue!"

Before long, a delicate-looking maid of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked into the courtyard.

She was a maid from his mother Ning Xin's side, and because she was well-versed in pharmacology, Yu Tianchen often called her over to help prepare medicinal baths.

Ning Xin had originally wanted to transfer this maid to his service permanently.

However, Yu Tianchen had refused.

He was used to living alone, and with his parents' courtyard right next door, he could simply use the servants from there if he needed anything; there was no need to bring a new group over to his side.

"Young Master."

Xiao Yue arrived before Yu Tianchen and bowed respectfully.

"I'm troubling you again this time."

Yu Tianchen smiled and handed the box in his hands to her.

"Understood. May I ask how many years of Whale Rubber the Young Master intends to use this time?"

The maid named Xiao Yue took the box from Yu Tianchen and asked.

"The thousand-year ones. You handle the herb pairings; once they're ready, take one portion of the thousand-year Whale Rubber and find Uncle Kang to help me melt it down."

"Understood. Please wait a moment, Young Master."

Xiao Yue nodded, turned, and carried the box into the bathroom.

Not long after, the medicinal bath was prepared by Xiao Yue.

While she went to find Uncle Kang to heat the Whale Rubber, Yu Tianchen stripped off his clothes, stepped into the wooden tub, and sat cross-legged.

Shortly after he sat down, Xiao Yue placed the prepared Whale Rubber in front of him and turned to leave.

"Then, let's begin."

Yu Tianchen took a deep breath, wrapped the liquid Whale Rubber in his spirit power, and sent it straight into his mouth.

As a burning sensation began to emerge in his abdomen, Yu Tianchen quickly closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Great Sun Thunder Body.
