A Cowlick? No, It's a Lightning Rod!

Looking at the Xu Xingyu) on her head that was emitting a purple-blue light, Xu Xingyu felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through her heart.

Why do I have a cowlick like this?!

Although characters with ahoge (cowlicks) are usually good-looking in the two-dimensional world of Blue Star, that's two-dimensional! From a three-dimensional perspective, they're just an eyesore!

Xu Xingyu tried her best to suppress the ahoge (cowlick), but no matter how hard she tried, it just kept sticking up.

Finally Xu Xingyu Xu Xingyu had the idea of plucking the ahoge (cowlick), but just as he was about to pluck it, he didn't touch the ahoge but instead touched something hard.

This made Xu Xingyu suspicious, so she picked up the mirror again and saw that the ahoge that had been bothering Xu Xingyu was gone, replaced by a sharp purple horn.

Looking at the sharp horn Xu Xingyu couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Could this be External Soul Bone?"

The moment Xu Xingyu finished speaking, the Thundering Hell Vine had just transformed into Soul Spirit, gave its answer through the contract between the two: this unicorn horn was the Soul Bone it had bestowed.

At the same time, Thundering Hell Vine also told Xu Xingyu what the effects of the Soul Bone it provided were.

After hearing Thundering Hell Vine's explanation, Xu Xingyu could only put on a strange expression.

This feature is just too outrageous!

Simply put, this single horn doesn't grant Xu Xingyu any Soul Skill, but it does possess the ability of the Thundering Hell Vine to draw in lightning.

It can grant Xu Xingyu the freedom to control the lightning element, while also allowing him to absorb lightning power to aid his cultivation.

Cultivating in this way will not only enhance Xu Xingyu's Soul Power, but also Xu Xingyu Bloodline Power and Spiritual Power.

There's a crucial prerequisite: whether one's body can withstand the violent power of the lightning.

This left Xu Xingyu somewhat helpless, and she wanted to complain that it was just an upgraded version of a lightning rod.

Thinking back to the novels he read on Blue Star, many protagonists liked to use being struck by lightning to strengthen their bodies and enhance their cultivation. Was it now his turn to do it himself?

After mentally cursing herself for seemingly heading down a path of being struck by lightning, Xu Xingyu began meditating at the Thunder Pool, preparing to try out this so-called lightning body tempering process.

Xu Xingyu closed her eyes and began to channel her Soul Power into the single horn on her head. As the Soul Power flowed in, the horn began to emit a purple light.

Soon, the Thunder Pool beneath Xu Xingyu's feet began to stir, with bursts of lightning appearing on its surface, and the magma formed from the lightning within the pool began to swirl around Xu Xingyu's body.

Finally, the lightning plasma poured down on Xu Xingyu like a waterfall.

The instant the lightning touched Xu Xingyu, he quickly activated his cultivation technique Origin Star Celestial Art, and the purple horn on his head, absorbing the violent lightning power at an extremely fast speed.

To Xu Xingyu's surprise, while absorbing the power of lightning, he could clearly feel that the impurities in his body were being purified.

Although Xu Xingyu, as the possessor of the Dragon God Bloodline, already has very few impurities in her body, even a small improvement is still improvement.

But what excited Xu Xingyu the most was that when absorbing the power of thunder Xu Xingyu could clearly feel his Soul Power circulating at an extremely fast speed, and that the power of thunder could also purify the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he absorbed from the outside world to an unparalleled level.

It should be noted that Xu Xingyu, as the possessor of the Dragon God Bloodline, has very high requirements for the purity of energy. Every time she cultivates, the energy she absorbs is purified a second time by Xu Xingyu's bloodline, which filters out the originally large amount of Soul Power to only a trace.

If Xu Xingyu hadn't cultivated the Origin Star Celestial Art, a special technique that could condense Chaos Core within his body, his early cultivation might have been like that of a salted fish 20,000 years later, requiring him to consume a large number of high-level rare and precious treasures to keep up with his peers.

The current cultivation method that absorbs lightning can directly purify the energy to the purity required for the Dragon God Bloodline, thus eliminating the need for further purification and ensuring that the absorbed energy does not significantly decrease.

The drawback of this cultivation method is that it can easily leave hidden injuries in the body, and one must endure great pain during cultivation, since being struck by lightning is not a pleasant experience (a former Sea God gave a thumbs up).

However, the former is not a problem at all for Xu Xingyu, who has the Dragon God Bloodline and has fused with the Gold of Life. If he suffers any hidden injuries, he can repair them directly with his superb recovery speed.

As for the pain that Xu Xingyu supposedly experienced from the raging thunder, for some reason, he seemed to gradually adapt to it as he absorbed the energy of the Thunder Pool. He even reached out and drank the thunder slurry from the Thunder Pool because he felt it wasn't exciting enough.

Just like there's only the option of cross-dressing—it's either zero times or countless times—there's also the option of courting death—it's either zero times or countless times.

After about three hours, Xu Xingyu finally completely absorbed the thunder pool left behind by the Thundering Hell Vine.

Looking at the dried-up Thunder Pool, Xu Xingyu secretly apologized to the Thundering Hell Vine. The other party said it was fine, because if it weren't for preventing those Immortal Herb from attacking her, it would have already taken the time to devour the Thunder Pool completely.

Moreover, when Xu Xingyu absorbed the energy of the Thunder Pool, the Thundering Hell Vine also shared a portion of the thunderous power and absorbed it, thereby increasing its cultivation level from 40,000 years to 70,000 years.

Xu Xingyu was very pleased with the improvement of the Thundering Hell Vine and said that he would let him know whenever he sensed any thunderous power in the future.

Unless I'm particularly busy, I'll take advantage of that time to fully enjoy the baptism of thunder.

As for the issue of cultivation level, Xu Xingyu said there was no need to worry about that.

This is because Xu Xingyu's body is now undoubtedly at the level of Soul Saint, and her Spiritual Power is roughly at the so-called Spirit Abyss Realm, so a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit is not a problem at all.

Xu Xingyu also told this news to his other Soul Spirit, Xing Xuan, and allowed it to further release the sealed energy.

Soon, the colors of Xu Xingyu's four Soul Ring began to change. After Xu Xingyu released her Ziwei Star rings, four black Soul Ring began to slowly rise.

Looking at the four black Soul Ring, Xu Xingyu was very satisfied. Although Xing Xuan's cultivation level was once that of Ferocious Beast, he had lost most of his original essence due to some accidents, so it was already quite good that he could recover to this level at this stage.

After a good rest, Xu Xingyu planned to return to their previous encampment. Wang Dong'er should already be up, so she could start thinking about how to comfort her for not being able to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

However, the moment he arrived at the encampment, Xu Xingyu's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a goose egg. Gu Yuena and Wang Dong'er, whom he thought were rivals who disliked each other, were acting like two extremely close best friends!

What exactly happened when he left?!?!?
