"Awakening Thunder Power requires just one Thunder Spirit Fruit?"
Upon hearing the inner voice, Jiang Che was initially a bit surprised, but then he became delighted.
Now he could have a taste too!
Even setting aside the effects of the Thunder Spirit Fruit, just its status as a Spirit Fruit made Jiang Che crave it desperately.
That aroma…
Ever since the Spiritual Energy Revival, he hadn't tasted a Spirit Fruit yet, and the flavor of Spirit Fruit could only be imagined!
Now, given such a great opportunity, he naturally wouldn't refuse Nangong Luo's goodwill.
He swallowed the Thunder Spirit Fruit in front of him in one go.
It was like eating grapes in his past life, chewing in the mouth a couple of times before swallowing them.
Cool, with a hint of sweetness…
Boom!
Once the Thunder Spirit Fruit was in his belly, the energy exploded instantly, countless streams of purple electric plasma surged within his body, the purple light dazzling, threads of Thunder Power continuously leaping, roaming within the entire tiger's body, carrying the power of destruction and creation, transforming it!
Time gradually passed.
Every cell within the tiger's body was being refined by the Thunder Power, undergoing cycles of destruction and rebirth, ultimately transforming, achieving rebirth, emitting a faint purple glow, containing a weak force of Thunder Power internally.
Externally, Jiang Che's colorful fur all stood on end, appearing like a spiked ball, threads of electric light jumping among them, Thunder gathered around him, resembling a living being born from lightning.
In Jiang Che's pair of tiger eyes, there was even lightning flashing, emitting a mysterious purple glow, making it impossible to look directly.
Jiang Che just felt his body was buzzing with a numb heat, as if he had been electrified.
After half a quarter-hour.
"It's finally over!"
Jiang Che let out a deep breath.
Just now was truly uncomfortable, the tingling sensation throughout his body made it very hard for him to control his body.
Turning his head to glance at Nangong Luo, he found the other still in the same condition as him, frozen there, with lightning constantly flashing over his body.
"It's taking longer for Old Third since he started later; seems like it's not over yet!"
Jiang Che stopped paying attention, first stretching, his whole body's bones cracking with sound, instantly feeling much more comfortable.
After readjusting to his body, Jiang Che opened the attribute panel.
Host: Jiang Che
Species: Northeast Tiger
Level: 16
Bound Targets: Nangong Luo, Fang Yuan
Talent Ability: Vajra Claw, Thunder Control
Thunder Control?
So that's the name of the awakened Thunder Power, huh?
Just hearing the name itself sounded stronger than the Vajra Claw.
It seemed like that Thunderous Roar also awoke this Talent Ability.
Jiang Che was thrilled in his heart.
Thunder Control, it seemed like the very hallmark of a master at wielding lightning!
In his past life, that Thunderous Roar managed to quickly rise by relying on Thunder Control, indicating this Talent Ability's potential was by no means small.
It held great promise for the future!
Unable to contain himself, he started trying it out.
He wanted to see how powerful this Thunder Control really was.
Crackle!
With a thought, every cell in his body gently vibrated, threads of Thunder Power surged out from within, gathering above Jiang Che's head, transforming into a fist-sized purple-black Thunder Ball.
The Thunder Ball shot out.
Boom!
The distant boulder directly exploded, splinters flying and dust dispersing.
"Good, good, good! This power is incredible!"
Jiang Che was thrilled; its power was like a cannonball.
Now he finally had a means of attacking from afar!
Although his cultivation was high, during combat he relied on the strong physical body, leaving only Vajra Claw as a Talent Ability, both could only be used for close-range attacks.
This Thunder Control compensated for his combat deficiencies.
Just as Jiang Che was immersed in excitement.
On the other side, Nangong Luo also came back from awakening.
The lightning jumping from his body turned into a weak thunderbolt, the lightning flashing, instantly struck the ground a hundred meters away.
Boom!
The thunderbolt flashed on the ground, exploding into a blinding white light.
At this moment, a winding charred crack appeared on the ground, surprisingly, it was smoking, the crack about two fingers wide, one meter long, its depth impossible to estimate.
"The Thunder Power is quite impressive, after consuming other Thunder Attribute heavenly materials in the future, it can be further enhanced!"
Nangong Luo's eyes gleamed, his heart full of joy.
After becoming proficient with Thunder Control, Jiang Che's excitement slowly waned, suddenly feeling extremely hungry, he looked at the four fierce beast carcasses on the ground.
Time to eat!
"Too bad Old Second isn't here, otherwise if we ate all these fierce beasts, our strength should greatly improve. Wonder how Old Second is doing now, hope he's not 'gone'!"
Jiang Che chewed on the giant leg, constantly muttering to himself.
...
Qingshui City outskirts
In a tall mountain forest, the trees were lush, blocking the sunlight, making the forest land extremely dark and sinister.
Gusts of chilly wind swept through the forest, sounding like ghostly wails and howls.
On a soil mound in the forest, a crimson vine wound around a small tree, its leaves were an optic crimson like jade, extremely noticeable, and on the vine's extended branch hung an egg-sized red fruit.
The red fruit emitted a crimson light halo, its matured aroma wafting through the forest.
Soon, a giant green deer was attracted over, peeking out from under the nearby trees.
Its eyes were very wary, it stretched its nose to sniff, its expression suddenly changed, seeming to have noticed something, its body tensed up, eyes constantly scanning its surroundings.
After a long while, seemingly not noticing any abnormalities, the green deer then stepped out, cautiously approaching the red fruit Spiritual Medicine, examining the surroundings as it walked.
Once assured there was no issue, the green deer quickened its pace, approaching the red fruit on the mound, intending to devour it.
Roar!
Suddenly, a massive black shadow dashed out from the darkness nearby.
Directly pouncing the green deer to the ground!
Revealing a greedy and vicious tiger face.
It was none other than Fang Yuan, who had been lying in ambush nearby.
The green deer was immensely terrified, constantly struggling on the ground, emitting cries of panic, tears streaming from its wide eyes.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuan's body was heavy as a mountain, pressing the green deer firmly under him, leaving it unable to escape.
"Fool, it's your honor to become the blood food of this Demon Monarch!"
Fang Yuan sneered in his heart, ignoring the deer's cries of anguish, directly tearing open its neck, savoring the sweet blood.
The green deer let out a harrowing cry, its body convulsed violently but soon its limbs went limp, eyes dimmed, already devoid of life.
Having consumed the deer entirely, Fang Yuan began to manipulate the soil, covering up the scattered blood traces, suppressing the scent of blood.
"This method really works!"
Looking at the battlefield already cleaned up, Fang Yuan smugly thought.
This Spiritual Medicine had long been discovered by him, but instead of eating it, he used it as bait to attract other fierce beasts.
This saved him the trouble of running around the mountain to hunt fierce beasts.
This green deer was the tenth fierce beast he had killed.
At this rate of consumption, the first level of his Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture would soon be mastered.
"I wonder where Old First and Old Third ran off to….. Hopefully, you two are still alive and kicking!"
Fang Yuan's eyes glowed in the gloom as a cold smile crossed his heart.
