Chapter 156 Thunder Python Transforms into a Dragon [Subscribe]

The results of the Zhou family's internal martial arts competition soon came out.

There is no need to say much about the monks under the age of thirty, but among the monks over the age of thirty, there are a few who have performed quite well.

It just so happened that those people were people Zhou Chun was familiar with.

One is Zhou Zhengyong. The life-and-death battle he experienced in Yunzhou not only changed his mentality, but also enriched his combat experience and significantly increased his combat capability.

Coupled with his current cultivation level of the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Stage and the multiple first-grade superior magic weapons in his hands, he performed very well in this martial arts competition and directly won the first place.

The other one is Zhou Zhengtao, who was originally in the top ten of the youth group. Now that his cultivation has reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining, his strength is also extraordinary and he almost beat Zhou Zhengyong.

Another one is Zhou Jiayun, the cultivator who is ranked thirty-fifth in the "Jia" generation. He also won the third place because of the power of his contracted spirit pet, the three-tailed demon fox.

In Zhou Chun's opinion, if these three people participated in the joint fighting competition of the five major immortal cultivation families, they would have a great chance of being among the top ten.

The magic weapons he rewarded to several people after the game would increase their chances of winning.

"Well, this family martial arts competition has come to an end. In the future, the family will continue to hold similar events at regular intervals. I hope to see more members participating next time, and I hope that more members with outstanding performances will appear!"

After Zhou Chun finished his closing remarks, the Zhou family cultivators who had gathered together quickly dispersed.

At the same time, after discussing with the elders, Zhou Chun decided to accept the Wang family's proposal and let the Zhou family host a new joint martial arts competition among the five major immortal cultivation families.

However, Zhou Chun still needs to bargain with the other four major families regarding the rules of the fighting competition and cannot really do things completely according to their ideas.

Next, Zhou Chun concentrated on taking care of this matter.

After much bargaining, Zhou Chun finally reached an agreement with several families.

All participating monks have two options for participating.

First, you must bring your spirit pet onto the field and are not allowed to use any magic talismans.

Second, do not bring your pet into the arena and follow the old rules.

These two types of competition options are mainly for Zhou family cultivators, but the restrictions are not as strict as at the beginning.

Zhou Chun believes that this restriction is acceptable.

The date for the event was quickly set, seven months later.

On this day, when Zhou Chun was handling clan affairs in Zhongping Hall, Zhou Zhengyuan, the steward of Zhou family's Baiyao Hall, suddenly came there to find him.

"Sixth brother, you rarely leave Baiyao Peak. How come you have time to come to see me today? Is there anything you need my help with?"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengyuan who came over and couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes.

The best alchemist of the Zhou family usually practices alchemy on Baiyao Peak and rarely goes down the mountain.

He can be said to be the most mysterious cultivator of the "Zheng" generation in the Zhou family.

Facing Zhou Chun's surprised eyes, Zhou Zhengyuan's dark and flushed face revealed a very serious expression.

He bowed to Zhou Chun in a serious tone and said, "I came to see the deputy clan leader today because I have an important matter to report to the clan."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun's eyes were filled with even more surprise.

Then his face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "Sixth brother, please speak."

"I tried to refine another furnace of demon spirit pills a few days ago, but failed again!"

"But this failure made me realize that it's not that my alchemy skills are not good enough, but that my cultivation is not enough!"

"If I could reach the foundation-building stage, I would guarantee with my life that I would be able to successfully refine the Demon Spirit Pill!"

"So this time I came to see the deputy clan leader, I just want to ask the family to support me in building my foundation!"

Zhou Zhengyuan looked at Zhou Chun seriously, and stated his purpose in a very serious tone.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly.

Finally, he understood why Zhou Zhengyuan took the initiative to leave Baiyao Peak to find him.

To be honest, if this request was made by a cultivator from another family, Zhou Chun would simply think that he had a problem with his brain for daring to make such a request to the family's top leaders.

However, Zhou Zhengyuan himself has a straightforward personality, and as the person with the best alchemy skills in the Zhou family, he is indeed qualified to make such a request.

Although he doesn't have to be so straightforward, he can use more tactful ways and words to express his demands.

But now that he has said it clearly, Zhou Chun cannot ask him to mention it in another way.

At the moment, he could only nod his head solemnly and said, "I understand. I will report this matter to the clan leader and the supreme elder. If there is any result, I will inform you, Sixth Brother, as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, Deputy Chief. I will go back and wait for news."

After Zhou Zhengyuan finished speaking, he bowed to Zhou Chun and left without any further ado.

This style of behavior made Zhou Chun shake his head.

Fortunately, he is not a narrow-minded person, otherwise, with such an attitude, he would probably be given some eye drops and make things difficult for him.

Perhaps it was because he focused all his energy on alchemy and cultivation that he was able to stand out from several other alchemists!
Thinking this way, Zhou Chun began to consider the feasibility of Zhou Zhengyuan's request.

In fact, now that the Zhou family has seven cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun and other core members of the Zhou family have no plans to continue supporting new people in building their foundations.

The main reason is that the Zhou family’s precarious financial situation makes it difficult for them to support such a plan in a short period of time.

But if Zhou Zhengyuan did not lie, then the benefits of supporting him to successfully build his foundation would be very considerable.

The elixir like the Demon Spirit Pill is very important to the Zhou family's foundation-building cultivators.

Especially for Zhou Chun himself, once his two spirit pets break through to the second level, they will have a great demand for this kind of elixir.

Therefore, supporting Zhou Zhengyuan in building his foundation would be of great benefit to the Zhou family's top leaders.

Perhaps Zhou Zhengyuan also thought of this, so he dared to directly ask for support from the family’s top management.

"Then help him, and you will also help yourself!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flashed, and he immediately went to the cave of the supreme elder Zhou Mingde on the top of the mountain to report the matter.

Not long after, Zhou Chun went down the mountain and returned to Zhongping Hall.

Zhou Mingde also agreed to support Zhou Zhengyuan in building his foundation, but not now.

Now the Zhou family needs to bide its time for a while.

Only after clan leader Zhou Daoyi breaks through to the late stage of foundation building and his pet Sky Blue Cloud Python transforms into a dragon, can he resume his high-profile life without worries.

So Zhou Zhengyuan can only wait now.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python has been sleeping for more than three months after taking the Dragon Blood Ginseng.

On this day, Zhou Chun was working in Zhongping Hall.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something in his heart and realized something. He quickly told the scribe inside and hurriedly left Zhongping Hall and returned to his residence.

When he walked into his own yard, he saw that the Silver Electric Thunder Python Baibai had woken up and was shedding its skin and scales.

Ever since it was promoted to a first-class superior monster and dragon scales grew on its body, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python has never shed its skin.

But this time it was promoted to the second level, which meant it had officially reached adulthood, so shedding its skin was essential.

I saw its body constantly rubbing against the metal piles, and the dragon scales on its body, which were originally extremely hard, were now falling off piece by piece due to the friction.

These fallen dragon scales are all dull in color and have lost all their spiritual power.

Their essence is absorbed by the newly grown dragon scales before they shed their scales.

Therefore, the dragon scales and snake skins that fall off naturally due to shedding of skin and scales have no value.

The entire molting process lasted about an hour.

When the old skin and scales fell off, a brand new silver-white electric python appeared in front of Zhou Chun.

At this moment, the Silver Electric Thunder Python had just broken through, and there were still traces of silver-white electric light moving around its body. This was caused by its uncontrollable overflow of power.

When Zhou Chun saw this, he knew that it would take some time for the Silver Lightning Thunder Python to adapt to the power of controlling a second-level monster.

So after praising it a few words, he brought it a lot of food.

Unlike human cultivators, demon beasts grow larger every time they break through, so their demand for food will be very high.

Zhou Chun had also prepared food reserves for Bai Bai's eating after his breakthrough.

At this time, after it had eaten thousands of kilograms of monster meat in one breath and its stomach was bulging, Zhou Chun smiled and touched its head, letting it slowly adapt to the change in its own strength, then turned around and returned to Zhongping Hall to continue working.

After another two months, Baibai's Silver Electric Thunder Python's condition finally stabilized.

The Silver Lightning Thunder Python at this time was nearly seven feet long, and was no less large than the Sky Blue Cloud Python, which was a second-level intermediate-grade monster.

And its size growth has not stopped yet, and there will definitely be a lot of growth in the future.

As its size grows, its strength naturally also grows.

It could be that the bloodline is indeed strong, or it could be that the three-hundred-year-old dragon blood ginseng is more powerful.

This time, as soon as it broke through to the second level, three of the Silver Lightning Thunder Python Baibai's original innate spells were strengthened and advanced.

One is "Lightning Spell". Now that this innate spell has been strengthened, every lightning that the Silver Electric Thunder Python spews out has the killing power of a second-level spell, and the "Chain Lightning Spell" that was previously mastered is also integrated into it.

One is the second-order thunder spell "Sky Thunder Strike" which is enhanced and advanced from the "Thunderfall Technique". It can directly draw thunder from the sky to bombard powerful enemies. It is more powerful than the "Thunderfall Technique" and does not require prior accumulation of power.

There is also a second-level lightning spell called "Floating Lightning Explosion" which is an enhanced and advanced version of "Thunderstorm".

This spell is very powerful. The Silver Lightning Python can condense lightning balls in advance and suspend them around its body, and then drive one or more lightning balls to bombard the enemy at will.

How many thunder balls can be condensed and suspended around the body depends on the Silver Thunder Python's own ability to control this spell.

Because every time a thunder ball is condensed, it needs to devote some energy to control and maintain its existence.

In addition to these three second-level spells that were advanced from the original innate spells, Silver Lightning Python Baibai also awakened a new second-level innate spell "Lightning Flash" after this breakthrough.

This is an escape spell that allows the Silver Lightning Python to approach the enemy at an extremely fast speed, or escape.

The advanced spell of this spell is the famous "Thunder Escape Technique".

It can be said that after the advancement, the actual combat power of Silver Electric Thunder Python Baibai has completely surpassed its master Zhou Chun.

Not to mention Zhou Chun, even the other Zhou family cultivators in the early stage of foundation building who had already switched to practicing other techniques, no one could be a match for the Silver Lightning Thunder Python Baibai.

I'm afraid that only those cultivators in the early stage of foundation building who have practiced the method of fighting can barely fight the Silver Lightning Python alone.

This is the power of some monsters with powerful bloodlines.

As long as they reach a certain level, they can become the strongest in that level.

But success or failure depends on blood.

While bloodline gives monsters great strength, it also limits their potential for advancement.

After a mid-level demon beast grows into a second-level superior demon beast, if it wants to be promoted to the third level and become a high-level demon beast, the difficulty is many times greater than for a low-level demon beast to evolve into a mid-level demon beast.

In the more than 1,700 years of Zhou family history, the number of monsters that have truly evolved from intermediate monsters to high-level monsters is less than twenty in total, which can be said to be extremely rare.

"Strong, Baibai."

"From now on, the master's safety will depend on you!"

On the performance ground used exclusively by the Zhou family's foundation-building cultivators, after Zhou Chun personally examined the current strength of the Silver Lightning Python Baibai, his face was filled with surprise and he praised this spiritual pet highly.

Not only is the attacking power strong, but the speed is also amazing.

Even the defensive power is equally strong.

At least the second-grade low-grade magic weapon used by Zhou Chun would find it difficult to break through the dragon scale defense on its body.

If the Silver Lightning Thunder Python was not still just a python body, without dragon claws and dragon horns, Zhou Chun would have doubted whether it was a dragon.

However, thinking of the dragon, Zhou Chun couldn't help but look at the top of the silver lightning python's head.

At this time, the top of the Silver Electric Thunder Python's head was slightly bulging, as if something was brewing inside.

So, try that secret technique now?
Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, and he seemed eager to try.

A few years had passed, and he had already achieved initial success in practicing the secret technique of "Ancestors' Resurrection" that he had chosen to practice. Baibai, the Silver Electric Thunder Python, was hatched and raised by him personally, so naturally, it would not resist him using this technique.

However, although the secret technique of "Ancestor Resurrection" is extremely powerful, its side effects are equally severe.

After undergoing the operation, it will take at least half a year for the monster to recover to its full state, and its cultivation will also stagnate during this period.

Therefore, Zhou Chun was a little undecided at the moment, wondering whether he should try it or not.

"Bai Bai, do you want to try to transform into a dragon?"

In the end, Zhou Chun gave the choice to the Silver Electric Thunder Python Baibai, asked for its opinion, and informed it of the sequelae.

Hiss~hiss!
The Silver Lightning Python nodded its white snake head slightly and agreed with excitement in its eyes. It was obvious that it didn't care about any sequelae at all.

It is true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun no longer hesitated.

"Okay, let's try it!"

He nodded, and immediately made hand gestures to cast a spell, performing the secret technique of "Ancestors' Resurrection".
