Chapter 317 Raising Thunder-Controlling Beasts

"Why do you say that? Why do you say you were lucky? According to the surveillance footage from that day, the intensity and power of the lightning in your mining area were extremely strong, no different from other mining areas." The investigation team asked, puzzled.

"We were lucky because we didn't encounter the evolved Thunder Beasts. Although most people die from the power of lightning, most of that lightning is controlled by the Thunder Beasts. We didn't encounter any in our mining area, so that's good luck."

"I also happen to be able to use the power of thunder to cultivate, which reduces the power of thunder to a certain extent." Ning Xuan hid the dozen or so Thunder-Controlling Beasts that had grown much larger. She still needed to observe these creatures. If the people above knew that she had captured Thunder-Controlling Beasts alive, they would probably try to get rid of these creatures by any means.

After this battle, Ning Xuan's position in the company became exceptionally secure. Anyone who dared to disobey Ning Xuan's orders would be regarded as an enemy by everyone.

This sentiment is called personality cult.

Among the dozen or so mining areas managed by this year's new recruits, except for the Ninth Mining Area where Ning Xuan was located, the mortality rate of new recruits in the other mining areas was around 30%. The highest commanders of three mining areas died in this thunderstorm, and the remaining nearly 2000 people in the three mining areas were assigned to Ning Xuan's command.

Ning Xuan's rank was promoted from lieutenant to major, and the unit under her command was reorganized into the D13 Regiment.

After a seven-day rotation, Ning Xuan returned to the underground base, where her team would have ten days to rest and recuperate.

Ning Xuan was promoted to the rank of major, and her residence was upgraded from a rest cabin to a house of about 6-70 square meters.

Ning Xuan returned to her residence and released more than a dozen Thunder Beasts from her spatial ring. This spatial ring was obtained from a new planet. Unlike the spatial button, which can only store inanimate objects, this spatial ring can store living things.

The eleven Thunder Beasts instantly filled the entire house. Ning Xuan quickly stuffed ten of them back into her spatial ring, leaving only one outside.

The juvenile Thunder Beast, which was originally only one meter long and resembled a ferret, is now two meters tall. Its pure white fur glistens, with faint lightning crackling on it.

When the Thunder Beast saw Ning Xuan raise her hand, it darted over affectionately and even stuck out its black tongue to lick Ning Xuan's hand.

Ning Xuan tentatively cut her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto its tongue. After a while, the Thunder Beast's form did not change, and there was no special telepathic connection between her and the Thunder Beast.

It seems that this Thunder Beast cannot form any contract through blood. Therefore, theoretically, Ning Xuan cannot establish further contact with this kind of star beast. In other words, she cannot be sure whether the Thunder Beast is truly submissive or whether she can control it.

After reaching this conclusion, Ning Xuan had a momentary urge to either eliminate these star beasts or hand them over.

This species, whose complete control is uncertain, is a potential threat even if it currently displays obedience and affection. After all, most of the warriors who are injured or killed each year die from attacks by Thunder Beasts.

However, since the spatial ring can store Thunder Beasts, she can observe them further to see if these star beasts have any other value.

In the days that followed, Ning Xuan refined the lightning power in her meridians while healing her injuries, and she would also regularly feed her blood to the Thunder Beast she was experimenting on.

After a ten-day rest period, Ning Xuan's blue meridians became even stronger and thicker, only slightly inferior to her red meridians in terms of width. She quickly returned to the battlefield, serving seven-day shifts each time. After seven days, the legion would reorganize and enter a rest period.

After Ning Xuan had served three shifts, during this rest period, she noticed a restless surge within the blue meridians of her body. The little red bird was becoming increasingly unwilling to stay inside Ning Xuan's body and frequently flew out to explore.

When the assistant who was in charge of taking care of Ning Xuan's daily life saw the little red bird, she was initially a little curious. However, the assistant was very sensible and did not ask any questions.

Ning Xuan sat cross-legged in the center of the quiet room, stroking the little red bird with her fingers. "Can you feel it? Your little friend should be able to take shape soon."

"Chirp chirp chirp." The little red bird chirped a few times disdainfully, and Ning Xuan seemed to read in its eyes, "I only allowed it to appear in this world because of you."

Ning Xuan smiled and stroked the little red bird's head. She could feel that the wind and thunder power within her body was becoming increasingly difficult to control, churning restlessly deep within her bloodline.

"Here we go again," she sighed softly. Suddenly, the blue spiritual veins beneath her skin lit up, turning her entire arm into an eerie blue, with faint flashes of lightning visible.

"Chirp—" A little red bird flew out from her hair and circled around her anxiously.

Ning Xuan looked up abruptly and discovered that, without her noticing, an energy vortex had formed above her head and around her body in the room.

Ning Xuan was surrounded by a fine electric net, her hair moved without wind, and the little red bird transformed into a ball of fire hovering above her head.

A dragon-shaped phantom vaguely appeared behind her. Although it was blurry, its vertical pupils, which shone with lightning, were clearly visible.

“A dragon with wind and thunder attributes can certainly control the power of wind and thunder.” Ning Xuan felt the surging power within her body and a smile appeared on her lips.

She placed many lightning energy stones around her body. She could feel the dragon taking shape in the blue meridian within her body, its body gradually solidifying, drawing in external lightning energy and the energy from the lightning energy stones into her body.

Ning Xuan slowly raised her arm, and vortex-like energy leaped on her arm, with tiny lightning snakes coiling around her fingertips.

Ning Xuan's right arm flared with blue light, and fine dragon scale patterns began to appear on her skin.

However, the lightning energy was clearly running out of steam, and the condensation of the companion spirit required even more lightning energy.

The lightning energy stone is gone. Where can we find lightning energy now? Is it possible that this companion spirit will fail to materialize today?
Ning Xuan was worrying when she suddenly thought of the Thunder Beasts. These Thunder Beasts could absorb lightning energy. She wondered if she could extract the lightning energy from their bodies.

Ning Xuan immediately released the Thunder Beast that had fed her blood from her spatial ring. Black vines pierced the Thunder Beast's body, drawing out lightning energy and channeling it into her own body.

The Thunder Beast struggled violently, its eyes flashing with ferocity. However, it was bound by the black vines and could not break free. Just as the Thunder Beast shrank back to its original size, Ning Xuan put it into her spatial ring and replaced it with another one. Even a Thunder Beast that had not been fed blood could still extract lightning energy. When she extracted the tenth one, the phantom behind Ning Xuan finally solidified.
