Bearing the Lightning On Myself Chapter 9

Time flies and two months passed quickly.

"Boom!" As a loud explosion came from the horizon, outside the window of Dormitory 7, the April drizzle fell like silk with the evening breeze.

There was thunder... Jason Yang, who was sitting at the head of the bed and practicing with his eyes closed, was awakened instantly. He looked around the dormitory and saw that his roommates all stopped practicing and looked out the window, then chose to fall asleep one after another. Including Aaron Tang and Lily Xiao, they also pulled the quilt over them.

Especially Lily Xiao, she crawled into the bed and covered her head, looking like she was scared of me.

Jason Yang is already used to this.

Soul beasts that reach the 100,000-year level will have to face thunder tribulations. If Lily Xiao wasn't afraid, she wouldn't have chosen to start over.

Let's wait until everyone is asleep before going out... Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and continued to practice.

It has been raining more frequently in the college since March. Now it is the rainy season in April, and thunderstorms like today are even more common, sometimes even lasting for several days in a row.

This also gave him the opportunity to practice by inducing lightning.

It was annoying to have to wait for several days after attracting lightning. By the time he could attract lightning again, the rainy day might have passed. He had encountered this kind of thing once in late February. But there was also an advantage, that is, he would not be suspected of going out in the rain.

It would be weird if I went out every time it rained.

In addition, without affecting his cultivation, he can now only withstand two lightning bolts entering his body.

If he resists one more attack, he will faint, and then his meridians will be damaged, and his martial soul will become severely hardened, which will greatly affect his soul power cultivation.

There were only two thunderbolts, which passed by in an instant. No one would pay attention to them. Besides, no one would go out when there was thunder.

He felt that Tang Hao was the same in this regard. The three Tang brothers were in the academy, receiving a sealed education, and they would not run away. Anyone who came here to peek on a rainy day would be a fool.

Of course, the most important thing is that the effect of attracting lightning to practice is not bad. The slight improvement in cultivation on the spot can only be regarded as an extra surprise. What really makes him happy is that after several experiences, he was surprised to find that after the body was struck by lightning, the speed of cultivating soul power would increase during the recovery period. It is not noticeable at ordinary times, but after a long time, he still noticed it.

In addition, physical strength will also be improved.

Is it because the lightning stimulates the muscles all over the body, causing metabolism to speed up and blood circulation to accelerate, thereby improving the body's functions, absorbing and transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth faster, and then feeding back to the physical body?

This was his previous guess.

It’s the same as how you eat more after high-intensity physical labor, and you can grow muscles after a period of time.

But in novels, this is called drawing lightning to forge the body or tempering the body with thunder.

The meridians can now withstand two lightning strikes without any damage, and he feels the same way. It should be because he has been struck more often, the intensity has increased, and he has adapted to it. In simple terms, his lightning resistance has increased. Of course, this is also because most of the lightning energy was directed to the ground and dispersed, and the lightning energy he can absorb is still very small. In addition, he did not force himself to withstand the third lightning strike, so the energy absorbed by his body did not exceed the threshold.

This is just like taking medicine. If you take too much mild poison, you will develop drug resistance, and if you take a severe poison, you will die instantly.

There is also the strength of the martial soul. After being struck by lightning, the strength also increases.

This is easy to understand. Soul power is a special energy that is transformed by the soul master using the martial soul as the foundation and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Simply put, the martial soul is equivalent to a transfer station, a kind of transformation device. Soul masters need to use the martial soul to transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into soul power. This is probably why people in this world must wait until they awaken their martial souls before they can cultivate soul power.

Isn't it that Aaron Tang's internal strength is transformed into soul power through his martial soul after his martial soul awakened?

In the process of transformation, whether it is the continuous accumulation of energy or the erosion and tempering effect that the accumulated energy may bring to the martial soul, over time, the strength of the martial soul will naturally be slowly improved, but it is not as direct and fast as absorbing the spirit ring.

The same applies to him, it is normal for the strength of his martial soul to increase.

In addition, the lightning energy contained in natural lightning is as condensed as substance. In terms of strength and quality, in his opinion, it must be higher than the lightning energy scattered between heaven and earth. Therefore, such high-quality lightning energy entering the body and being absorbed and transformed by his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, the martial soul strengthening effect it brings must be better than the usual regular practice, right?

Of course, these are just guesses he came up with after practicing for some time.

The specific situation is unclear, but it is true that after being struck by lightning, the speed of soul power cultivation has increased a little bit, and the strength of martial soul has also increased a little bit, especially the hardness. And after the body recovers, the strength of the physical body will also increase slightly.

Unfortunately, this improvement was too slow and could not bring about a qualitative change in his cultivation.

However, apart from the fact that thunderstorms are rare, last for a short time, the number of times one can be struck by lightning is limited to two, the improvement is small, it takes time to recover after being struck, and it is easy to miss... and other realistic conditions limit his imagination, everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

Today, his soul power has broken through to level 1 or above, which is cause for celebration...Bullsh!t!

Isn't it said that the cultivation from level 0 to level 10 will be very fast? Why didn't he feel it at all!

It seemed that the increase in his cultivation speed after being struck by lightning only turned him from a loser into a small bumpkin who was slightly better than loser.

There is a huge difference between them and Aaron Tang and Lily Xiao.

He had clearly worked very hard. He got up early to run, did physical exercises and soul training in the afternoon, and spent the entire evening training souls. He also trained later than anyone else in the dormitory every night. However, the improvement he ultimately achieved was unpleasant.

When it comes to talent, poor talent is like being born with a set of shackles, making it difficult for one to take a single step.

Unlike Aaron Tang, who worked as a blacksmith in the afternoon and only practiced at night, his cultivation level still improved rapidly.

Lily Xiao is even more outrageous. Her soul power increases by eating and drinking.

Oh, things will get better in the future...Jason Yang said that this is the only way he can comfort himself now.

His martial soul was born deficient and too weak, so he had no choice but to do his best.

The city of Nottingham is located in the eastern part of the province of Fasno, and the surrounding area is rich in grains and vegetables. There is a lot of rainfall a year, and the rainy season is quite long, from April to September, a full five months. As long as he can make good use of this time, he believes that he can make considerable progress.

As for other months, it depends on your luck.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was approaching the early morning hours.

Jason Yang got out of bed, put on his raincoat, walked to the dormitory door, pushed it open skillfully and walked out.

I came downstairs, glanced at the dormitory lights, went around to the small woods in the distance, found a hidden spot and was struck by two thunderbolts. Then, I dragged my tense body back to the dormitory, went into the bathroom to change my wet clothes, and went back to bed to sleep.

The next day, I went to class and practiced as usual, but because it was raining, I didn't go to the back mountain to exercise in the afternoon.

Then came the third day, the fourth day, and so on until the fifth day.

The rain stopped and the sky cleared up, and he had perfectly missed the opportunity to attract lightning for three days.

There is no other way. My body and martial soul have not recovered yet. If I force myself to attract lightning again, it will easily lead to an accident, which will not be worth the loss.

At noon, after lunch, I went back to the dormitory to rest and digest the food, and then prepared to go to the back mountain to practice as usual.

"Little Haizi!"

Walking to the middle of the dormitory, Lily Xiao, who was leaning against the head of the bed, suddenly asked, "Don't you feel bored practicing like this every day?"

Jason Yang stopped, scratched his head and replied.

"Sister Lily Xiao, I have low talent. If I want to become a soul master, I can only rely on hard practice."

"That's right." Lily Xiao was powerless to refute and could only wave her hand, "Go... Go..."

"Lily Xiao, you should spend more time practicing." After Jason Yang walked out of the dormitory, Aaron Tang couldn't help but turned around and interrupted.

Lily Xiao was born with full soul power, so there was no problem with her talent, but she was too playful. He felt that her talent was indeed wasted.

"I know...I know..." Lily Xiao curled her lips and said perfunctorily: "I will come back to practice after collecting the protection fee in the afternoon."

... Aaron Tang was suddenly speechless.

I don't know why, but Lily Xiao's appetite is so good, and she loves to eat snacks. The monthly subsidy from the Spirit Hall is not enough. So she came up with a way to collect protection fees and collected money from the noble students of the academy.

If they didn't fight, they would just compete with each other. After a few practices, those noble students finally surrendered.

It was collected once a week, and the amount was not large. Those noble students were usually lavish, and they were not short of this little money. Besides, being punished by Lily Xiao like this could change his arrogant temper, so he thought it was not a bad thing.

Therefore, no one has ever spoken out to dissuade him.

"Lily Xiao, I'm going to find the teacher." He shook his head and said as he stood up.

"Well, go ahead." Lily Xiao replied politely.

In the past three months, Aaron Tang would go to see Victor Yu almost every day at noon. He had classes in the morning, work in the afternoon, and practice in the evening. It seemed that he only had time to study at noon.

"Yeah." Aaron Tang nodded and strode out of the dormitory.

Soon, they arrived at the top floor and looked up. Victor Yu was standing in the corridor enjoying the breeze and sun.

It has been raining for several days in a row and now it is sunny. It is indeed a good time to enjoy the sunshine.

Aaron Tang subconsciously followed the direction Victor Yu was looking and saw Jason Yang running towards the back mountain.

As if judging Aaron Tang's arrival from the footsteps, Victor Yu said to himself: "This child is indeed hardworking and smart. There are a lot of blue silver grass growing in the back mountain of the academy. Practicing in such an environment is indeed helpful for practicing the blue silver grass martial spirit."

He had also heard that there was a kid in the work-study dormitory who practiced diligently.

Jason Yang was from Gucao Village. He had been in the academy for many years and had heard of this village. It was said that the current village chief was a retired deacon of the Spirit Hall. Logically, when Jason Yang awakened his soul power, he should have been sent directly to the Spirit Hall Academy to study, but he didn't.

The reason is very simple, his innate soul power is level 0.5, and his martial soul is still blue silver grass, his aptitude is really too poor.

He also knew the admission standards of the Wuhun Academy.

Just a useless soul master who is looked down upon even by the Spirit Hall... This is how he characterizes Jason Yang.

"It's a pity that my talent is really lacking." He shook his head and said, "For some people, their life achievements are determined from birth. Not everyone can find a new way and read as many books as the teacher and achieve their current achievements with wisdom."

"Teacher is right." Aaron Tang strode closer and nodded in agreement.

This kind of thing is the same no matter which world you are in. In the previous life, the Tang Sect also recruited disciples based on their qualifications.

"However, diligence is indeed indispensable." Turning his head, Victor Yu said earnestly: "Xiao San, although you are extremely talented, cultivation requires steady progress. You must remember not to slack off and not bury your talent."

"Yes, teacher." Aaron Tang nodded solemnly.

"Come in." Victor Yu smiled with satisfaction and turned to walk into the dormitory.

About quarter of an hour later, in the dormitory.

"Teacher, I'm going to work in the blacksmith shop." Aaron Tang stood up from his seat and said respectfully.

"Yes." Victor Yu nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Aaron Tang was Tang Hao's child, so he must have learned the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique. So in his opinion, going to the blacksmith shop to forge iron was not a bad thing.

Not only can you practice hammer techniques, but you can also exercise your body through high-intensity exercise, which is also good for cultivating soul power at night.

Even if it does delay some time, it doesn't matter.

Good talent is sometimes an advantage as it allows you to free up time to do other things.

Unlike Jason Yang, whose aptitude is limited, even if he works hard and practices hard, his achievements will be limited.

"Goodbye, teacher." Aaron Tang bowed politely and turned to leave.
