I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 273 The Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body

Without the foundation laid by the 100,000-year soul ring in that illusion, Zhu Zhuqing would definitely not have been so obedient. Even if she needed strength, she would never have acted this way.

But including the life-saving grace in the illusion, she owed two lives in total, a debt of gratitude she could never repay in this lifetime. Compared to that, what did her pride matter?

After extinguishing the fire, Xiao Wuji turned his attention to Dugu Yan and then used the second soul skill of the Three Pure Bells Martial Soul on her!

The memories in the illusion are still Dugu Yan's original memories, so if he doesn't want Dugu Yan to fight him to the death, he must change her memories again and twist them into their current form.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xiao Wuji is worried that they will regain their memories. After all, their original memories have not been lost, but have just been overwritten by new memories, and there is still a possibility of them being able to retrieve them.

But before he can reverse Dugu Yan's memories, there is one more thing he needs to study.

His fifth soul skill is called "Thunder Vine," which grants the vine the ability to control lightning and absorb lightning to strengthen the martial soul. If it absorbs enough lightning, it can also permanently grant the martial soul the lightning attribute.

The soul skill in his right arm bone is called Heavenly Thunder Summoning! It can actively gather thunderclouds and summon heavenly thunder to strike him and everything around him indiscriminately.

This soul skill is not only uncontrollable, but it also has a long wind-up animation of several minutes, used to create thunderclouds. The wind-up might be much shorter in rainy weather, but he can't just fight in the rain, can he?
Therefore, the greatest use of Soul Bone Skills now is to summon heavenly lightning to be absorbed by the Martial Soul, allowing the Martial Soul's quality to evolve.

However, after his martial soul devoured the corpse of the Vajra Vine, it acquired the properties of metal. In other words, his martial soul can not only conduct electricity, but also attract lightning!

So he planned to find a way to make use of his two soul skills, and in his opinion, the Heavenly Thunder Body Refinement was a very good one!

After more than twenty years of refinement, Xiao Wuji finally integrated his soul skills with the Golden Skin and Jade Bone Body, creating a body-refining method that could be cultivated with the power of heavenly lightning—the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body.

The cultivation process of this body-refining technique is extremely painful, but its upper limit is extremely high, and it seems to have exceeded the scope of martial arts, somewhat resembling a cultivation technique for immortality.

"I never expected that I would accidentally cause such a big problem!"

In the middle of the night, after finishing his Yin-Yang Heavenly Eye cultivation and collecting moonlight once more, Xiao Wuji looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still pretending to refine the medicinal power, and didn't disturb her. He went back to bed, hugged Dugu Yan, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Xiao Wuji was awakened by Dugu Yan's bite and ordered her to give the last spoils of war to Zhu Zhuqing, completely disregarding the thoughts of Dugu Yan, a slave.

Back at school, he gathered his subordinates and then used a nine-story golden pagoda to place Zhu Zhuqing and the others on the bottom floor, while he himself went to the sixth floor.

This is the golden pagoda he used to reduce the power of the heavenly lightning, controlling its power to a level suitable for body tempering.

However, Xiao Wuji had no intention of passing on the "Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body" technique, as it was too overpowered. Therefore, he simply had the group passively endure the power of lightning, and then used his soul bones to heal them, thus indirectly achieving the effect of body tempering.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that when struck by lightning, the refining speed of the medicinal power in the body will be further accelerated!
In other words, he really has a chance to raise his soul power to level 60 or above before the Soul Master Competition.

As a result, over the next six months, a thundercloud frequently lingered above the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and lightning would occasionally strike from it.

When the Education Committee learned that Xiao Wuji's golden pagoda also possessed the power of lightning, they immediately approached him to discuss recruiting members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team. After receiving some benefits, Xiao Wuji readily agreed, but he would only be responsible for striking them with lightning, not for healing their injuries.

In the Tian Dou team, Xiao Wuji also saw Tang San and Xiao Wu. Later, Xiao Wuji learned that after Dai Mubai and others were imprisoned and expelled, Flander and others left the place to find another way out!
Only Tang San and Xiao Wu were forced to stay by Yu Xiaogang. Their purpose was naturally to get a spirit ring. No one would not want a spirit ring that exceeded the age limit.

Inside the tower, Xiao Wuji had divided it into many enclosed rooms. Although the soundproofing wasn't great, it at least prevented others from seeing their pathetic state of being struck and collapsed on the ground. This was because most of the time they were unconscious from the electric shocks, and the body-refining process was entirely handled by Xiao Wuji.

Furthermore, the Cuscuta Pagoda is a sealed environment similar to a pyramid, and no one can enter without Xiao Wuji's permission. Therefore, one can do some special things inside. For example…

"Third Brother...keep going...ah..."

Xiao Wu was pressed against the door of the secret room where Tang San was.

This was not the first time Xiao Wuji had done this.

Inside the secret room, he still pressed his ear against the door. As a master of concealed weapons, he had already honed his ability to locate sounds to the extreme, so how could he not tell where the sound was coming from?

At this very moment, every syllable of Xiao Wu's voice...
After a long while, Xiao Wuji finally let Xiao Wu go and threw her back into the secret room next to Tang San's. Then he went up one floor and found Zhu Zhuqing and the others who were cultivating there.

With Xiao Wuji giving them extra help, their cultivation speed is faster than Tang San and the others, and they are now able to cultivate in the third level.

As for Xiao Wuji himself, he was already able to cultivate on the ninth level, and his physical strength was comparable to that of a Title Douluo. He could fight against top Soul Saints without being at a disadvantage with just his physical body!
He opened the rooms of the several people one by one, used his soul bone to heal their injuries, and then climbed to the top floor alone to continue his arduous cultivation.

With the competition approaching, Xiao Wuji showed no intention of training his team to fight as a group. Under absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were futile.

With the soul core within him, he could keep the golden tower running for more than five hours. Now that the time was not yet up, he naturally would not stop.

When the appointed time arrived, Xiao Wuji threw people out one by one, allowing the servants who had been waiting outside to take them away one by one.

The reason for this is entirely because their situation is so dire.

After everyone had been seen off, Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan, his two nominally servants, were also personally escorted back to their rooms by him.

One hour after the golden pagoda dissipates is the time he needs to recover his soul power, and no one will disturb him.

An hour later, Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and others came to visit, bringing him news that made him extremely excited.

"The Dark Demon God Tiger has been found!"
