252: Chapter 252 The Acquired Thunder Spirit Body

No wonder Tang Long wanted to summon so many Chaos Walkers.

A certain type among these little things possesses the same healing power as Tang Long.

Although their individual healing power is relatively weak, it is quite considerable if they are gathered in large numbers.

However, it seems it is still not enough.

Can she successfully hold on until that step?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but grit her teeth; since she had already started, she could no longer be hesitant.

Whether it succeeds or fails, for now, she can only trust Tang Long.

As she increased the intensity of her practice, the damage she sustained became greater and greater.

Although the players could not see her health bar, they could see that her complexion was getting worse and worse.

Someone immediately shouted, "Something's wrong! The Goddess seems like she's about to collapse!"

"We can't even see the health bar, damn it!"

"Qingyun, listen to my arrangement, get ready to rotate and cast invulnerability!"

"I've tried it, invulnerability is useless!"

"Big Brother Zhulong's health line is rock steady, why are so many people piled up over there? Hurry and move them over!"

"Actually, the scene over at Big Brother Zhulong's side is more impressive."

The leaders of each guild quickly mobilized their troops. After discovering that Tang Long really didn't need much healing, almost over ninety percent of the Mystics all came to Yun Zhuoyue's side.

Yun Zhuoyue gradually felt her injuries stabilize, and they were even rapidly moving towards recovery. She was increasingly amazed in her heart, and her courage grew as well.

The operation of her spiritual energy was gradually reaching its Peak, and she decided to immediately begin truly condensing the Spirit Map.

The spiritual energy beneath her rapidly extended outward, and the gray and white light twisted into a strange pattern, causing the players to shout and scream in waves.

Tang Long on the other side was of a different style.

Violent and magnificent lightning formed a field; his entire person was constantly struck by lightning, and internally, he was simultaneously impacted by the Thunder Spiritual Energy.

This method of combining internal and external forces was like constantly and repeatedly tempering every one of his cells.

The scene was indeed spectacular, but showing off in front of others was for the players to see.

He also wanted to observe Yun Zhuoyue's process of condensing the Spirit Map with his own eyes.

So he couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity I can't see it right now."

Xie Jin frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, the process of Tang Long's Body Tempering, even with his own assistance, was not necessarily less risky than Yun Zhuoyue's.

Tang Long should be in a lot of pain right now, the kind that goes deep into the bone marrow and turns one's internal organs upside down.

Yet he was surprisingly stable, appearing to be under no pressure at all.

Incredible.

But he didn't know that Tang Long currently had Level 3 Tyrant Body, Level 6 Spirit Astral, plus three healing skills. With just this amount of damage, he didn't even need to consume super red potions; at most, he would use a few large red potions just for show.

"The process of condensing a Spirit Map is a process of unifying all the power of a high-level Martial Artist."

"The conflict between spiritual energies, the mismatch between spiritual energy and the Soul, will all be completely smoothed out by the pressure of the Law during this process."

"The impact of spiritual energy on the body, the impact of the Law on the Soul, are all things a Martial Artist must face to pass this hurdle."

"Therefore, practicing Cultivation Techniques with multiple attributes simultaneously is much harder than condensing a Spirit Map with a single-attribute Cultivation Technique."

"The more types one Cultivates simultaneously, the greater the difficulty will be."

"Speaking of which, Your Excellency, your mess of Cultivation Techniques will be even more dangerous than Group Leader Yun's when the time comes. Relying on the healing power of these Chaos Walkers, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

Tang Long chuckled, "Rest assured, Old Xie. If ten thousand isn't enough, then one hundred thousand; if one hundred thousand isn't enough, then one million; if one million isn't enough, then ten million. This is simply not a problem for me."

Xie Jin's facial muscles twitched imperceptibly.

Tang Long sounded like he was joking, but to him, it was unimaginably shocking.

Putting aside everything else for a moment.

A million-strong undead army, even if their individual combat power is slightly weaker, would be enough to wipe out certain small countries.

Just taking Dongyu as an example, who among the current subordinates can muster an army of a million?

Without even counting combat power above the Spirit Map, Tang Long's strength is probably already comparable to the dukes and governors of various cities.

Moreover, the number of Spirit Maps he can mobilize is actually not small.

And there's something even more important.

He can significantly reduce the difficulty of breaking through to the Spirit Map. As long as this news spreads, gathering a group of Spirit Maps around him will be too easy.

By the time he trains a large group of loyal Spirit Map followers, I'm afraid those Huagai Realm powerhouses wouldn't be willing to face such an enemy.

This kid's future is too vast.

As long as he lives long enough, a new hegemon will sooner or later appear on the Blue Star land!

Just as he was thinking this, the aura on Tang Long's body suddenly changed, and the surrounding lightning also transformed its form accordingly.

Those violent and chaotic flashes of lightning became docile at this moment.

As if echoing Tang Long's breathing, they jumped and danced rhythmically like notes on piano keys.

[You have successfully tempered the {Acquired Thunder Spirit Body}!]

[You gain: Mental Energy +18, Agility +18, Mental Energy effect additionally increased by 25% {Current 16}! Lightning Resistance +60!]

[You gain the {Thunder Spirit Affinity} effect!]

[Your Mental Energy has exceeded 60 points, the advancement conditions for Fire Eye have been met! Skill {Fire Eye MAX} has successfully advanced to {Fire Eye. Candlelight}! Next stage {Mind Eye. Bright Mirror} requirements: Torch Spirit Breathing Method LV4, Mental Energy 80 {Not Met}!]

Tang Long exhaled a breath of stale air deeply, and the lightning around his body suddenly converged.

But the next moment, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He finally possessed a Spirit Body; although it was Acquired, the results were very satisfying.

He really didn't expect that the Thunder Spirit Body would also provide attributes.

Thirty-six points of attributes at once, and they happened to be in Mental Energy and Agility, which were a bit lagging, and the Mental Energy effect was additionally increased by 25%.

This improvement caused his Mental Energy to leap to 63 points. After the bonuses, it actually reached as high as 79, just one point away from 80!

The direct impact it had was that Tang Long suddenly felt that even without using his eyes, he could easily grasp many things.

He had possessed this level of mental perception in his previous life, so he naturally understood how precious it was.

Without a strong spirit, he could not have survived the repeated major battles and fierce fights in the Doomsday Era.

Moreover, he had activated the Candlelight Fire Eye!

Although he didn't know the specific effects yet, and the skill had no description, this was a genuine Saint Cultivation Technique. In terms of origin, it was even greater than the so-called Wuque Method, so it definitely wouldn't disappoint.

But what excited him the most was this {Thunder Spirit Affinity} effect, which also had no description.

Actually, there was no need to say.

The moment the information popped up just now, he understood.

Lightning was originally like wind and light that could not be held; even if forcibly taken into the body, it was as hard to tame as a wild horse.

Therefore, whether it was Empowerment or Cultivation, the biggest problem was waste.

When consuming thunder spirit stones during Empowerment, more than sixty percent of the spiritual energy was dissipated. It was slightly better during cultivation, with the utilization rate barely exceeding fifty percent.

But with Thunder Spirit Affinity, a bridge of communication seemed to have suddenly appeared between him and the Thunder Spiritual Energy; the Thunder Spiritual Energy seemed to instantly understand his thoughts and directly became obedient.

With this, Tang Long felt he could reduce waste to within twenty percent, and both the success rate of Empowerment and the progress of Cultivation would be greatly improved.

He even felt that he could barely try practicing the first scene of the Eight Scenes of Thunder Radiance!

However, turning his head, he immediately buttered up Elder Xie.

"As expected of you, Elder Xie. If it weren't for your help, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Elder Xie immediately shook his head with a smile, "Your Excellency is too modest. Your spiritual nature is already sufficient; it only needed that layer of window paper to be pierced, and this old man merely pushed the boat along with the current."

"You are the truly modest one, possessing the demeanor of an elder. Actually, I have one more question I'd like to ask."

"Oh?"

"In our Dongyu, besides the Crown Princes Tutor, the Archbishop, Yu Jijiu, and Director Zhao, who else are Spirit Map Peak experts?"

Xie Jin couldn't help but narrow his eyes, feeling that Tang Long's question had some deep meaning, but he still gave the answer quickly.

"These four are famous for many years, the kind that cannot be hidden."

"Besides them, there are indeed others."

"As far as I know, Governor Huang Weiyi of Yu City also reached this Realm a few years ago."

"And beside His Majesty, it is said that there is a guard with a mysterious identity who is also at the Spirit Map Peak."

"Furthermore, there is Duke of Fengcheng and this old man. However, neither of us has taken action for many years, so outsiders do not know."

"As for whether there are such figures in other forces, this old man is not very clear."

Tang Long thought for a moment and asked again, "Then... from Spirit Map to Huagai Realm, how great can the influence of the Divine Ruins be?"

Xie Jin's eyes showed a strange expression, "It could be very great, or it could be minimal."

"Some things cannot be clearly described in words, I will try to keep it simple."

"The real difficulty from Spirit Map to Huagai Realm is the understanding and confrontation between the Soul and the Law, and at the same time, it is also a kind of fusion."

"For a Martial Artist at this stage, everyone's situation is different, and one does not know if the next step is right or wrong."

"But once the correct answer is obtained, the speed to reach the destination will be greatly accelerated. Even at the Spirit Map Lower Realm, one may rapidly break through to become Huagai Realm."

"If the direction of Cultivation is wrong, the stronger the Martial Artist's strength, the more dangerous it is, and even a Spirit Map Peak will be trembling with fear."

"Therefore, in history, there have been precedents of Spirit Map Lower Realm breaking through to Huagai Realm in one day, and there are also countless Spirit Map Peak experts who died of old age without being able to take the next step."

"In short, the influence of the Divine Ruins is still quite significant; after all, the ready-made examples are there, and quite a few people have successfully advanced because of it."

Tang Long nodded slightly.

He had already made some guesses before. According to the theory of who benefits, the ones who benefit the most from the death of an apostle are the Blasphemers and His Majesty the Emperor.

The Blasphemers obviously didn't manage to do it.

At this moment, having received concrete confirmation from Xie Jin, and knowing the Emperor has such capability, Tang Long basically concluded that the mysterious Spirit Map belongs to the Emperor.

The Emperor has the guts to backstab the Pope; this is very good, but it is not enough.

Old man Xie even sold out Ye Baiming, which can be considered as baring his heart; one can see a trend of wanting to bet on him.

So, should he take him for a tour of the Divine Ruins today?
