Chapter 35: Lightning Body Tempering

After Jerry formulated the development plan for the spirit beasts for the next year, he returned to his small hut to begin cultivation. First was lightning body tempering, using lightning to temper the whole body to enhance physical strength, and then slowly increasing the electric power, which would also slowly enhance physical strength. The principle was very simple. Jerry had cultivated Distraction Control, and coupled with his powerful spirit power, his control over his martial soul and spirit power could be said to be precise to the finest detail. However, as soon as Jerry started, he felt a tearing pain all over his body, and his hair stood straight up from the electricity! This lightning body tempering was truly not something an ordinary person could endure! He quickly released a Healing Light on himself, and only then did he feel much better!

Jerry felt that this secret technique had a problem. It was so painful right from the start, with lightning spreading to the whole body, causing the cells of the whole body to start tearing directly. From this, one could also see the ferocity of lightning-attribute attacks!

This secret technique originally relied on tearing the cells of the whole body, then recovering, then tearing again, over and over, so that the cells of the whole body would become stronger. It was not something an ordinary person could cultivate! Jerry felt it was wrong. Although cells could become stronger, some cells really couldn't be electrified, such as brain cells; if they were electrified and damaged, some could not be repaired. No wonder in the original work, Yu Tianheng and Patriarch Yu Yuanzhen were like they had entered a berserk state whenever they fought, very irritable. It was estimated that many brain cells had been electrified to death, and even a treatment spirit master couldn't repair them! Jerry didn't want to become a simpleton. Fortunately, Jerry had taken biology classes and knew human anatomy, so Jerry could temper them separately!

After saying this, he began to experiment. First, he used lightning to temper the muscles of his left arm, controlling the lightning to increase bit by bit. When he felt a tingling sensation, he stopped increasing it. This tingling was not the pain of cell tearing, and Jerry felt he could endure it, so he directly controlled the lightning to start tempering the muscles of his whole body, then followed by the epidermis layer of the skin, then the bones, bone marrow. Jerry didn't dare to try other places; the internal organs and the brain—electrifying them even a little was truly stimulating! Bursts of tingling came, and after half an hour, Jerry felt he had reached his limit, so he withdrew the lightning and then cast a healing spell on himself. He felt all the cells of his body absorbing the energy of the healing skill. Jerry then cast three more healing spells before he felt his body recover as before! He felt his physical strength had improved by a tiny bit!

Jerry told Xiao Wu the method of lightning body tempering. Jerry's control over lightning could already reach the point of helping others temper their bodies! Then Xiao Wu immediately shouted to stop as soon as she started. Sure enough, lightning was not something an ordinary person could endure!

Daming and Erming were willing to try, but their bodies were too large, and all of Jerry's spirit power converted into lightning couldn't cover them! They could only wait for the future! At this time, Daming suddenly said solemnly: "Besides enhancing physical strength, can this lightning body tempering of yours really enhance resistance to lightning?"

"Of course it can. With the increase of lightning, the body will slowly adapt to lightning. The greater the intensity of lightning adapted to, the more one can be immune to lightning below that intensity!" Jerry said!

"That's great, that's really great! We spirit beasts are very afraid of lightning. When a spirit beast breaks through ten thousand years, a lightning tribulation will descend. If it survives, it will have a thousand years to continue cultivating. In the future, every ten thousand years of growth, it will undergo a lightning tribulation. Legend has it that after the tenth lightning tribulation, a spirit beast can break through a million years and become a god! But many spirit beasts died in the first lightning tribulation. Breaking through to ten thousand years, one can choose to transform into a human and cultivate from the beginning, but the lifespan is only a hundred years! Just living a hundred years longer is too short for spirit beasts, so many spirit beasts are unwilling to transform, and eventually, they die. Sister Xiao Wu chose to transform because she didn't dare to face the lightning tribulation after breaking through to ten-thousand-year spirit beast. Erming and I have thick skin and flesh, so we survived it, but the lightning tribulation also almost cost us our lives," Daming said, feeling a bit sad!

"Now it's good, there is a Radiant Divine Tiger, 99,999 years of cultivation, always suppressing its own spirit power growth, not daring to break through! This type of spirit beast has a small body, can you help it?" Daming asked!

Jerry thought for a while, it should be possible. A lightning tribulation, to put it plainly, is a bolt of lightning with huge power. This world has no physics, so there should be a way to survive it! He could try!
