Chapter 447: Full Enhancement! Lei Jitai!

"I've finally figured it out—you're a complete genius, with absolutely no weaknesses."

Leng Yuexi's melodious voice carried a hint of awe.

She excelled in both close and ranged combat, and even her comprehension was this high—she simply couldn't imagine what could possibly stump Xu Jingming.

"It's not that extreme—there's just nothing now, but that doesn't mean there won't be in the future."

Xu Jingming replied with a faint smile, "By the way, Sister Xi, keep watch for me—I'm going to test the new Body Strengthening Art."

He had a feeling that the Body Strengthening Art, after evolving into SS rank, would give him a tremendous surprise.

"Alright, go ahead and test it—I'll handle the guard duty."

"All these days you've been doing all the work; now I finally get to be of some use."

With a light laugh, she nodded, and faint crimson flames swirled around her slender figure.

She then walked toward the cave entrance, holding the Crimson Chain Sword.

Her perception wasn't as strong as Xu Jingming's; here, she could sense surrounding movements more clearly.

"Logically, for a new SS-rank Body Strengthening Art, I should restart from the first level."

"But the system kept it at my current level—which is fine, saves me a lot of effort."

At the center of the cave, Xu Jingming silently pondered, deeply satisfied.

A purely self-created combat technique cannot increase blood qi.

This 3000-point blood qi increase is equivalent to the total gain from retraining an SS-rank Body Strengthening Art

from Level One to Level Six.

"Also, the new Body Strengthening Art has optimized the original Lei Ting Bu Mie Shen's functions—first… the Thunder Dragon Wings!"

Whoosh—

A pair of wings over three meters long unfolded behind Xu Jingming.

Unlike the previous Thunder Dragon Wings, these had no flesh or bone spines.

Instead, they were merely dense patterns resembling meridians!

These patterns connected together, filled with brilliant lightning, ultimately forming a pair of dragon wings.

"The Thunder Dragon Wings lost their fleshy tissues and transformed entirely into lightning energy."

"That's good—now I won't need to specially design zipper interfaces on my back for wing deployment."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

He could also feel that the evolved Thunder Dragon Wings were significantly faster than before.

The original Thunder Dragon Wings had a top speed of 260 m/s in normal form.

Now, the new wings reached at least 300 m/s, and with Lei Jitai activated, they could likely break the sound barrier of 340 m/s!

But the exact top speed could only be determined after actual testing.

"Testing now would be too obvious—I'll try it tomorrow during the day."

He retracted his wings and immediately activated another form: "Lei Jitai!"

Boom!!

The instant he activated Lei Jitai, he felt his inner power multiply several times over!

Even the power of his SS-rank Doushen Shenlei received an absurdly massive boost!

"This boost is that powerful?!" Xu Jingming silently marveled.

Previously, activating Lei Jitai roughly doubled his base strength.

Now, the new Lei Jitai at least quadrupled, even quintupled, his base strength!

This was a terrifying multiplier!

"But the physical transformation when activating Lei Jitai seems to have vanished."

Xu Jingming carefully examined himself, even pulled out a mirror to check.

His height remained unchanged—he hadn't grown to 2.2 meters.

His vulnerable joints—knees, elbows—no longer bore pale golden dragon scales.

The Dou Tian Shen Lei that once naturally surrounded his body had now been fully retracted inside.

Only golden lightning arcs flickered and danced across his skin.

Compared to before activating Lei Jitai, apart from his eyes still glowing golden and his muscles slightly bulging, his exterior showed no other changes.

Of course, the sensory impression he gave was entirely different.

Though the lightning within Lei Jitai was now contained, Xu Jingming himself radiated, from within to without, a powerful aura of pressure.

This pressure was so intense that even a first- or second-rank adept would be instantly shaken to their core just by glancing at him...

"The new Lei Jitai has maximally stripped away the influence of the beast blood on me."

"Instead, it now uses SS-rank Dou Tian Shenlei as its power source..."

As he casually moved his body, he felt the astonishing power hidden within this form.

Before, he couldn't be certain whether he could defeat a seventh-rank Lower Master Zongshi with a B-rank ability.

Now, he was certain—he could easily crush such an opponent!

Even a seventh-rank Lower Master Zongshi with an A-rank ability could be defeated!

"This is the evolved Body Strengthening Art! Truly extraordinary." Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed with brilliance.

In truth, a pure SS-rank Duan Body Strengthening Art couldn't achieve this effect.

This was because this Body Strengthening Art was tailor-made for his actual condition, making its power boost far more pronounced.

"Besides Lei Jitai, the new Body Strengthening Art has unlocked another entirely new amplification state."

This amplification state, based on the stripped-away beast blood, should bring about some physical transformations.

His heart stirred, and he decisively activated this brand-new ability!

Boom!!

A dull thunder rumbled; the Doushen Shenlei, previously contained within his body, erupted violently, golden lightning surging forth!

Crackling—

Wild lightning exploded, instantly filling the entire cave with the sacred and majestic Doushen Shenlei!

"Such intense lightning energy!" Cold Yuexi's expression shifted slightly at the cave entrance.

Whoosh—

Scorching flames surged, instantly forming a thick protective barrier that wrapped around her completely!

Yet the rampant lightning still battered her flame barrier, causing it to tremble precariously!

"How is this possible? I'm a Seventh-Rank Master!

Even stray sparks of lightning can shake my flame barrier?"

Cold Yuexi's face filled with shock; she immediately increased her ability output, stabilizing the trembling flame barrier.

Then, she watched in astonishment: at the very center of Lei Hai, Xu Jingming's aura continuously surged upward, his body swelling like a balloon!

One point nine meters… two meters… two point two meters… two point five meters… two point seven meters…

As his size grew, his battle suit tightened tautly.

His astonishing muscle contours emerged, the muscles across his back knotted together like a demonic face!

His golden irises transformed into cold, reptilian vertical pupils; hard black scales wrapped around his vulnerable joints.

His short hair suddenly grew long, whipping wildly in the surrounding violent air currents.

Finally, Xu Jingming's size stabilized at three meters.

Hiss—

A savage aura erupted; he stood there like a demonic god!

"So this is the new form?"

Xu Jingming's eyes glowed dazzling crimson-gold, brimming with bloodlust, savagery, and other negative emotions.

As if only by destroying everything around him could he find release.

Yet with his iron will, he firmly suppressed this impulse.

At the same time, he carefully sensed the enhancements this state brought.

"Compared to Lei Jitai, the power of Doushen Shenlei hasn't increased much.

But my physical strength has surged dramatically.

My overall power should be seven to eight times that of my normal form!"

With a casual clench of his fist, Xu Jingming felt the surging blood qi and unparalleled strength within him!

Moreover, the previously contained Doushen Shenlei now raged inside him, continuously supplying him with power!

"Compared to Lei Jitai, this enhancement mode

fully awakens the draconic beast blood within me, boosting my physique.

That's why my body has grown so massive and why negative emotions have surfaced.

Even the Doushen Shenlei has grown more violent due to my emotional influence."

He raised his right hand; brilliant golden lightning raged wildly in his palm, as if wanting to obliterate the air itself.

"If so, then this new enhancement state shall be called 'Lei Bao Tai.'"

Xu Jingming stood motionless, radiating a savage, icy aura from every inch of his body.
