Chapter 232 Oh Senior Sister, You’re Still Here
After deciding on the plan, they began to move.
The Lightning Hyacinth was actually not easy to catch.
They were small-sized soul pets, even smaller than little caterpillars, and their body growth was even shorter than little caterpillars.
The Lightning Hyacinth, which had a soul power cultivation of a few hundred years, was only about a meter long. It was round and flat, and its head was scattered in circles like scattered flowers that had been struck by lightning
It floated dozens of meters, more than a hundred meters in the sky. From the ground, it was a small black spot.
It was not easy to catch these Lightning Hyacinths. The Magnetic Sword did not have the conditions to capture it, although it could fly. Only the little caterpillar’s thread and bug web could capture these Lightning Hyacinths in large numbers.
This tested the little caterpillar’s control over the Object Control Technique.
The longer the thread was spat out, the harder it was to control.
Wang Che searched for a few seconds and found a Lightning Hyacinth floating closest to the ground.
This Lightning Hyacinth was very active. It did not stop in the air but ran around.
Occasionally, it would secretly land on the heads of some Contract Soul Masters to strike a bolt of lightning. “This one.” Wang Che said, “Since it’s the closest to you, it’s best to catch it. However, this one is rather naughty. The other mischievous Lightning Hyacinths have a higher position.” “Ssss…” The little caterpillar nodded and stared at Lightning Hyacinth who was running around. It opened its mouth and shot out a thread.
Swish!
It missed.
The Lightning Hyacinth seemed to be very sensitive to danger.
The caterpillar’s thread was easily dodged. After dodging, the Lightning Hyacinth discovered that a green caterpillar was attacking and immediately laughed.
The scattered flowers condensed into a ghost face that mocked the green caterpillar mercilessly. The little caterpillar: “?” It was too careless!
As the champion caterpillar, it almost lost its reputation!
“Use the Object Control Technique.”
Wang Che immediately instructed, “Previously, those Poison Treasures were static. Now, because it is a dynamic Lightning Hyacinth, you can’t hit it?” The little caterpillar understood.
It looked at the thread seriously.
The Object Control Technique emphasized the fusion of divine sense and artifacts. Then, through the true qi injected into the artifacts, it could perform various micro-controlling techniques. The little caterpillar had already practiced the Object Control Technique for a long time and was extremely familiar with the threads. If it were any other artifact, its Object Control Technique might not be effective. However, if it was placed on the silk, it would definitely be able to become one. The thread that the Lightning Hyacinth had dodged turned around and wrapped around it. The lively Lightning Hyacinth was a little stunned. ‘Didn’t I dodge it?’ ‘How?’
Could it be that this green caterpillar had telekinesis?
The Lightning Hyacinth, which was trapped by the thread, was angry. Lightning erupted from its entire body as it immediately unleashed a powerful lightning-type soul skill at the bug thread. Dense lightning struck the bug thread like a tree.
This was a very ordinary but famous soul skill.
The advanced hundred-year soul skill of Lightning Strike, Thunder Blow. It was very ordinary because as long as it was a lightning soul pet, it could use this lightning attack to attack the enemy. It was very famous because it was the prerequisite of the ultimate ten thousand year soul skill, Myriad Lightning, which was the most powerful attack among lightning-type soul pets. There was nothing fancy about it. It was just terrifying lightning that could turn the surrounding area into a terrifying lightning
hell.
A powerful move could destroy everything. The strongest ultimate move of a lightning-type soul pet was slowly trained from the most ordinary Lightning Strike. However, this long process could wear down the patience of many lightning soul pets. Seeing the lightning attack, the little caterpillar shouted at the Magnetic Sword.
The meaning was obvious.
‘Hurry up and absorb the lightning!’
The Magnetic Sword was about to move when Wang Che stopped it.
“No need.”
The little caterpillar: “???”
The Magnetic Sword was stunned.
The lightning struck the little caterpillar. The little caterpillar’s entire body trembled as if it was dancing.
“I’ve processed many seeds in the past few days.”
Wang Che immediately guided the little caterpillar, “You should be very familiar with controlling life force. What’s there to be afraid of lightning? You’ve also eaten the Earth Leaf for more than a week. There’s a certain amount of ground-type life force in your body.”
“Use your little head and use the Force of Nature!”
The little caterpillar understood. It immediately used the Force of Nature to mobilize the earth energy in its body to cover its entire body. A faint yellow energy covered the little caterpillar’s surface as if it was covered in a thick layer of crystal. The lightning followed the energy crystal covering the pony and was drawn into the ground under the little caterpillar’s feet. In an instant, the effect of the lightning decreased greatly. Although the lightning electrocuted the little caterpillar’s body, it did not cause much damage. However, it would cause a stun effect. If the opponent took the opportunity to use another move in battle, it would be troublesome.
It had to resist.
“Ssss!”
The little caterpillar shouted, indicating that it understood.
Wang Che nodded.
He had to combine daily training with actual combat.
Be it the Object Control Technique or using the Force of Nature to process and grow crops, otherwise, after training for so long, it would be useless in actual combat. “Pull this Lightning Hyacinth down and wrap it in a bug web.”
The little caterpillar tugged gently and pulled down the first Lightning Hyacinth. Then, it opened its mouth and wrapped around the Lightning Hyacinth. “Very good, Magnetic Sword, hold the Insect Web in your mouth.”
Wang Che nodded.
The Magnetic Sword used the tip of the sword to hold the Insect Web.
The Lightning Hyacinth, which was trapped by the Insect Web, was still unwilling to give up and continued to unleash lightning. Then… it was directly absorbed by the Magnetic Sword as an appetizer.
The Lightning Hyacinth looked at the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword in despair. These two soul pets didn’t seem to be afraid of lightning. Next, it was time to use the same trick again. Towards the end, the little caterpillar became more and more proficient. The threads seemed to have a life of their own as they changed in the air. No matter how fast the Lightning Hyacinths fled, they were quickly caught.
With a few swishes, a few Lightning Hyacinth were bound.
Then, the thread shook down a few times.
This was when the Magnetic Sword would bite the Insect Web and store the Lightning Hyacinths in it.
Hmm… it was very familiar with this.
Like two bullies, they grabbed the Lightning Hyacinths one after another. In less than an hour. There were dozens of Lightning Hyacinths in the Insect Web.
The toughness of the Insect Web was not something these Lightning Hyacinths could resist.
“Almost.”
Wang Che nodded, “With so many Lightning Hyacinths, it can steadily attract lightning. It’s even better than a lightning rod. The Magnetic Sword will hang the bug web in the air and wrap around the tip of the sword to begin drawing lightning.” With that, Wang Che took out a bag of prepared spirit stones and a drawn storybook. He glanced at the little caterpillar, “Watch from below to prevent anyone from approaching.” “We’ll be cultivating for a long time. When you’re bored, eat snacks and read stories by yourself.” “After reading it, train yourself.”
“Look at the lightning soul beasts around and find those that have gone crazy. If you have nothing to do, go beat them down and train yourself.”
The little caterpillar nodded and automatically ignored the last sentence. Wang Che stepped on the Magnetic Sword and flew into the air.
“Ssss.”
The Lightning Hyacinth in the Insect Web seemed to be unwilling to be used as a tool. It kept resisting and released weak lightning. Then, it was completely absorbed by the Magnetic Sword. The Lightning Hyacinths were furious. Wang Che did not even need to activate it.
The Lightning Hyacinths bound by the Insect Web floated in the air like a large hot air balloon.
They seemed to be discussing something as their bodies began to glow. This was a sign that they were using the lightning-type life force in their body to trigger the Heavenly Lightning. Among lightning-type soul pets, there was a lightning soul skill that originated from this.
For example, if the Lightning Hyacinths floated in the air for a long time and did not use the Lightning Drawing Soul Skill, there was a high chance that the lightning would land on it.
After using the Lightning Drawing Soul Skill, it was a 100% hit.
The Lightning Hyacinths’ thoughts were simple. They could use the Heavenly Lightning to cut the Insect Web. As expected, a bolt of lightning struck. Unfortunately, the lightning did not hit the Insect Web. It was caught by the Magnetic Sword and Wang Che.
“Ssss!”
The long-awaited lightning descended, causing the Magnetic Sword to cry out excitedly.
Wang Che knew what it meant: It felt too
good.
Sword light flashed as the Magnetic Sword began to flicker. Wang Che also endured a small portion of the lightning “The intensity of the lightning here is indeed stronger than normal lightning rain.”
When the lightning entered his body, Wang Che did not feel that strong. After all, he only endured a small portion of it. Moreover, he already had 27 strands of Hundred Refinements soul power. Even if he did not train, after being tempered by the Hundred Refinements soul power every night, the strength of his body had already reached a terrifying level. As the top basic cultivation technique in the cultivation world, even if he did not switch to other cultivation techniques later on, it was still invincible in the early and middle stages. Immortal and martial cultivation were not just empty words. ‘Compared to the first time I cultivated… this bit of lightning is a little itchy for me.’ Wang Che thought to himself.
To be honest, Wang Che had not started cultivating his second martial soul. A humanoid martial soul could undergo possession. Once it was attached to the body, it would greatly increase the strength of the body. Different humanoid martial souls had various powerful effects.
As for the quality of the humanoid martial soul, according to the rules of this world, it was probably stronger than the rainbow Myriad Treasures Dao Palace martial soul.
The first time it awakened was when he faced the Sky God Dragon. The aura shook the Sky God Dragon. The light of awakening covered every color. Later on, Wang Che stopped using it and did not have much energy to cultivate his Essence Soul martial soul either.
However, after sensing it 100%, he placed it aside.
Without soul power, the martial soul could not possess his body. Wang Che planned to at least open the second level of the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace and only cultivate his Essence Soul martial soul after his soul power reached Level 30.
It was better to obediently cultivate the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace martial soul.
After all, the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace martial soul was not only useful to him, but it was also extremely useful to soul pets.
The use of the Essence Soul martial soul was only limited to himself. Lightning continued to fall and flickered all over Wang Che’s body as it continuously tempered his body.
If the Hundred Refinements soul power was tempered every moment by accumulating over time, the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering was a short period of explosive tempering It was stronger and more painful, but the effect was better.
Among the Contract Soul Masters, especially those with an equipment martial soul, they would actually exercise their bodies in various ways. Otherwise, they would easily become the enemy’s weakness.
However, no matter how much he trained, it was very difficult for the equipment martial soul to directly increase the strength of the Contract Soul Master.
There were very few soul masters with high physical strength. Of course, there were exceptions. However, if it was a spirit martial soul, they should be able to use Heavenly Lightning to temper the body.
Ordinary Contract Soul Masters could not withstand this pain either.
If he wanted to get used to it, he had to see if his body could withstand it.
Wang Che was happy. No matter how strong these lightning bolts were, they were still far from the strength of the lightning tribulation.
The Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture divided the cultivation of lightning according to different realms.
Ordinary Heavenly Lightning, Nine Heavens Divine Lightning These were two basic types of Heavenly Lightning Then, there was the intensity of the lightning tribulation.
Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation, Six-Nine Lightning Tribulation, Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation… Soul Formation Lightning Tribulation, Heavenly Origin Lightning Tribulation, Immortal Universe Lightning Tribulation…
The senior who created the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture had only cultivated the strength of the Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation back then.
He could control the Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation with a sword.
However, the Lightning Tribulation itself represented the power of the Heavenly Dao. How could immortal cultivators touch the Heavenly Dao?
This was no longer an ordinary heaven-defying act. It wanted to ride the heavens.
How could the Heavenly Dao tolerate this? Later on, when he cultivated the Soul Formation Lightning Tribulation, he was killed.
The lightning before him was still not the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. It could only be considered a high-intensity ordinary lightning. It was still far from the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. If Wang Che was struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning now, the Magnetic Sword would not be able to withstand it.
It was still easy to withstand these ordinary lightning bolts. With the Lightning Hyacinth’s help, the lightning would charge up and strike every ten minutes.
It had to be said that this was more comfortable and easier to control than ordinary lightning rain. Ordinary lightning strikes would sometimes be very concentrated. If there were too many at once, the Magnetic Sword would feel very pressured. Sometimes, there would be very little. Before the Magnetic Sword could feel it, it would disappear. The cultivation effect was very good.
This controlled Heavenly Lightning was perfect for cultivation. It could achieve the greatest cultivation effect.
This continued for four to five hours.
After enduring sixteen to seventeen bolts of lightning, the Magnetic Sword was a little tired.
It completed a cultivation session.
In the past four hours, many Lightning Hyacinths looked exhausted.
Drawing on the Heavenly Lightning also required energy and soul power.
To them, it was a little draining.
Wang Che released the Lightning Hyacinths. “It’s time to change the batch.” Wang Che pondered. Because it had not cultivated for too long, it usually followed the normal cultivation progress. It was enough to cultivate the Magnetic Sword once a week.
Cultivating four to five times a month was considered very slow cultivation.
Every cultivation session required time to recover.
Now that there was such a good opportunity, the Magnetic Sword wanted to make up for everything it had not cultivated for more than a month.
Wang Che also prepared some medicinal pills to recover his essence energy and soul power. He planned to let himself and the Magnetic Sword recover for a while before cultivating again.
Wang Che looked at the little caterpillar. He discovered that the little guy was sleeping soundly after eating and reading the storybook. Training?
There was no such thing.
It slept soundly and breathed, its mouth bubbling. It was unknown if it was training in the dream realm or dreaming normally, but its eyes were curved.
It seemed to feel the gaze of an abyss. The little caterpillar opened its eyes slightly and saw Wang Che staring at it. It woke up immediately and patted its stomach to show that it had just eaten.
It was not suitable for training now and needed to rest for a while.
‘I’m going to train now.’ With that, the little caterpillar ran around. Then, Wang Che grabbed its neck and swung its four little legs in the air. “You’re starting to become lazy.” Wang Che could not help but say, “Don’t go first. Catch another batch of Lightning Hyacinths.”
Capture the Lightning Hyacinths? The little caterpillar immediately agreed. This was much more interesting than fighting other soul beasts. This time, there was no help from the Magnetic Sword because it was resting. The little caterpillar spent more than an hour catching another batch of Lightning Hyacinths.
After resting for two hours, the Magnetic Sword had mostly recovered.
It was mainly because his mental energy was still present.
After all, it had been suppressed for more than a month.
Coupled with the fact that Wang Che was accompanying it to cultivate, it felt that it could cultivate a few more times.
Just like that…
“The lightning over there is rumbling. Stay away!”
In the distance, a third-year senior said seriously to his companion, “Such terrifying lightning probably has some powerful lightning soul beast.”
His companions nodded.
“Why do I feel like I saw a weak figure in the
air?”
A companion said in puzzlement, “My martial soul is a telescope. I can see a little clearly. The Heavenly Lightning has descended too much and affected the space in that area. I can’t see much. I can only see a little.” “Did you see wrongly?” The senior asked. “Hmm, I think I might have seen wrongly. My martial soul has yet to be cultivated to perfection. Sigh, I’m holding you back.”
Similar thoughts kept appearing in the minds of the Contract Soul Masters who entered the inner area of the Thunder Inner Area.
As the lightning continued to descend, no Contract Soul Master was willing to approach Wang Che.
It was too dangerous.
With the little caterpillar guarding, naturally, no one discovered the situation here.
Occasionally, some Contract Soul Masters with special martial souls could vaguely see a figure in the air from the rolling Heavenly Lightning
However, they did not dare to approach and watch. They could only think that they were seeing things…
A day passed unknowingly.
On this day, they cultivated about four times.
This had made up for everything.
For the remaining time, Wang Che looked around and collected some nuclear stones and various minerals that contained lightning life force.
The quality was not good.
However, at Wang Che’s level, he could perfectly fuse and refine these nuclear stones into high-quality mechanical nuclear stones for the Magnetic Sword to eat.
“There are even more mineral veins in the Thunder Soul Earth to gather some rare nuclear stones.’ Wang Che thought to himself.
He knew about the Thunder Soul Earth.
Unlike the special Floating Forest with a special terrain, the Thunder Soul Earth was a special soul soil where mountains gathered and lightning grew.
It was the Soul Earth that produced nuclear stones.
“The Heavenly Lightning of the Thunder Soul Earth is definitely stronger… Why don’t we go and take a look later?”
Wang Che thought about it.
Although the Thunder Soul Earth was in a sealed state, it was not impossible for Wang Che to go in early to take a look.
“Forget it, there’s no hurry. In the future, on the two-day break every week, I’ll come here and cultivate. Let the Magnetic Sword adapt to the Heavenly Lightning here first before going to the Thunder Soul Earth. This way, even if the Heavenly Lightning of the Thunder Soul Earth can reach the level of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, it won’t be unable to adapt.”
A day passed. On the second day, Wang Che only let the Magnetic Sword cultivate twice before stopping.
It cultivated for a total of six times.
It could not count how many lightning bolts it had endured.
Every time it cultivated the Magnetic Sword, all aspects would increase, and its soul power cultivation would increase by 20 to 30 years.
Moreover, because the intensity of the lightning here was high, the first time it increased by 30 years.
The last few times, it only increased its soul power cultivation by 20 years.
Two days later, the Magnetic Sword’s cultivation increased to 880 years.
This made the little caterpillar feel immense pressure.
It began to cultivate seriously.
As for Wang Che’s physical strength, it had also increased greatly.
“In the future, when you cultivate, come here once every two weeks to cultivate. You only have to cultivate twice every time.”
Wang Che estimated, “Then you can rest for two weeks to recover your strength and solidify your foundation. Otherwise, it’s not a good thing to increase your soul power too quickly.”
In the past two days, Wang Che and the Magnetic Sword had had a good time cultivating.
However, Shen Mingluan, who was waiting outside, doubted her life.
On the first day, they waited from noon to afternoon and did not see anyone.
They were very excited at first.
“Wang Che has been here for too long, right?”
Tian Xiaoyu looked at the distant setting sun and said in surprise, “It’s already been four to five hours?”
“His Magnetic Sword can absorb lightning, and he’s wearing the Electromagnetic Hat. It’s understandable that he can stay for so long.”
Shen Mingluan was also quite surprised, “They should be out soon.”
Then…
At night, there was no one. “It’s been ten hours. Is he still not out?”
Tian Xiaoyu had already returned to Nu River City. When she returned, she discovered that Shen Mingluan was still waiting and could not help but ask.
Shen Mingluan was silent for a few seconds and shook her head.
It was understandable after four to five hours.
It had been more than ten hours… Some professional Contract Soul Masters could stay for so long. It was normal for them to stay for a day or two.
However, professional Contract Soul Masters were at least Level 30 and had two soul pets.
“This…”
Tian Xiaoyu whispered, “Did something happen?”
“Don’t jinx it.” Shen Mingluan glared at her, “Perhaps it was some fortuitous encounter?”
“What fortuitous encounter in the Thunder Inner Area… could make him stay for so long?”
Tian Xiaoyu touched her forehead, “But it’s hard to say… Are we still waiting?”
“Go back and rest for a night. I have his communication. If he comes out, the communication can be contacted.”
Shen Mingluan thought for a moment, “If it doesn’t come out, it probably won’t come out for a while. If it doesn’t come out tomorrow morning, I have to go in and see the situation.”
Then, the next day.
The communication could not be connected again.
It meant that he did not come out because other than some special soul devices in the Thunder Inner Area, ordinary communication devices would fail, and there was no signal inside.
“He didn’t come out…”
Shen Mingluan, Tian Xiaoyu, and the other students went in to look but they could not stay for too long.
In less than three hours, they came out at noon.
“We can’t find him…”
Tian Xiaoyu said helplessly, “This seems to be a little troublesome. Should we report it to the principal? Or should we communicate with the soldiers here and see if they can send some people in to take a look?”
It was understandable to stay for four to five hours, but to stay for more than ten hours, it could be explained by a fortuitous encounter.
Good fellow, it had been more than a day.
They were no longer doubting their lives.
Instead, they suspected that something was wrong.
They found the soldiers guarding the Thunder Inner Area and asked.
“Missing? Why would he disappear?” The soldier shook his head, “It’s not strange to stay for more than a day. Some professional Contract Soul Masters specialize in cultivating in the Thunder Inner Area. Not to mention a day or two, it’s normal to stay for three to four days.”
“Eh… but he’s only a first-year student.”
“A first-year student? He can stay for so long?” The soldier looked at Tian Xiaoyu as if he had seen a ghost, “Wait, let me check. If he comes out, there’s a registration…” The soldier returned after a while with a serious expression.
“He didn’t come out…” The soldier frowned and said, “Logically speaking, it’s impossible for a first-year student to stay for so long… Something must have happened. Why did you only come now? It is true that the Thunder Inner Area is not dangerous as overly powerful soul beasts have been cleaned up for you to adapt to.”
“However, it’s still very dangerous for first-year students. But logically speaking, when they encounter danger or can’t hold on, they will come back on their own. This month, we haven’t encountered any students who encountered any problems.” “I’ll contact the Thunder Soul Earth immediately and get them to send a rescue team to take a look.”
Hearing this, Tian Xiaoyu and Shen Mingluan heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment…
Wang Che walked out in happiness.
“Oh Senior Sister, you’re still here?” Wang Che looked at Shen Mingluan in the distance.
Shen Mingluan and the others turned around and looked at Wang Che.
Shen Mingluan: “…”
There was silence.
