Chapter 545: Thunder Furnace

When Lu Ming opened her eyes again, the lightning pulp that had covered her delicate body had already completely receded, and she could clearly sense the many changes within her body at this moment, the most obvious of which was undoubtedly her body becoming more supple and powerful.

She curiously raised her slender hands; her fair and delicate hands appeared exceptionally exquisite. As her five fingers gently curled together, a violent force immediately surged through her flesh and meridians. She threw a punch, and the fist wind seemed to carry a faint flash of lightning, emitting a subtle booming sound.

Lu Ming lowered her head, and the lightning pulp reflected her beautiful face. She saw that within her pretty pupils, lightning seemed to be leaping.

"Thunder Roar Physique..."

The corners of Lu Ming's lips curved slightly. She pressed her palm against her chest, and at this spot on her body, lightning had gathered. If she carefully introspected, she would discover that within the lightning, there seemed to exist a small and exquisite thunder furnace.

This thunder furnace was the source of the Thunder Roar Physique.

Once activated, the thunder furnace would erupt with thunder roars. This thunder roar sound wave would instantly spread to every corner of the body, and the flesh, meridians, internal organs, and bones within would all receive a brief yet tremendous boost from the thunder roar. This was the origin of the Thunder Roar Physique.

Lu Ming walked out from the Lei Wangtan, and the lightning pulp slid down along her slender figure.

After she walked out of the Lei Wangtan, she stood tall, then her gaze turned toward Li Luo's side, only to discover that Li Luo at this moment had already been wrapped in countless flashes of lightning. That lightning was extraordinarily brilliant, like a cocoon of lightning, completely covering him.

The sheer magnitude and purity of that thunder energy made Lu Ming envious once again.

This Thunder Roar Tree truly knew how to repay kindness. It had mobilized nearly seventy to eighty percent of the Lei Wangtan's energy for Li Luo. Such treatment, even those Crown Princes of the Black Wind Empire in the past might not necessarily have received.

Under the tempering of such pure thunder energy, Li Luo would clearly obtain tremendous benefits.

Lu Ming did not disturb Li Luo's fortune, but quietly waited by the side of the Lei Wangtan.

And this wait lasted for half a day.

Boom.

Finally, an unusual sound came from the Lei Wangtan, and Lu Ming immediately cast her gaze over. Then she saw that the cocoon of thunder light wrapping Li Luo was beginning to gradually fade at this moment, and Li Luo's figure was becoming clear.

A moment later, the lightning completely fell away from Li Luo.

His eyes, which had been tightly shut for a long time, also snapped open at this moment.

Boom!

The instant his eyes opened, it was as if lightning shot out from his pupils. With a whoosh, it streaked across the void and struck the nearby tree wall.

Li Luo slowly stood up from the Lei Wangtan.

His body seemed to have grown a fraction taller at this moment, and lightning constantly flowed across his skin, giving him a dazzling, eye-catching appearance.

Li Luo was also sensing the changes within himself at this moment, the most obvious being those to his physical body.

His five fingers clenched tightly,

and a force like galloping thunder seemed to flow within. This did not come from the Profound Elephant Blade, but from his very flesh and blood.

After being tempered by the Lei Wangtan, his physical body's strength had undoubtedly risen to a higher level.

Moreover, besides this, his phase force had also received a boost at this moment.

He had truly stepped into the fourth transformation of the Transformation Phase stage.

This was an unexpected pleasant surprise. After all, previously he had only thought the Lei Wangtan could temper his physical body; he hadn't expected that in the end, it could also raise his phase force by one level.

Then, Li Luo discovered that there seemed to be something extra within his body.

He quickly introspected, and saw a thunder furnace surrounded by lightning within his body. The furnace seemed to be condensed from thunder, with lightning leaping upon it, appearing especially mysterious.

The thunder furnace seemed to be like some living creature. With Li Luo's breathing, it also contracted very slightly, while faint thunder sounds arose and reverberated within his body.

And wherever this thunder sound reached, Li Luo immediately felt the flesh, meridians, and bones there trembling slightly, becoming extremely active.

"This thunder furnace... is the source of the Thunder Roar Physique?"

Li Luo instantly understood. Perhaps, the so-called Thunder Roar Physique was this thunder furnace.

When the thunder furnace roared, the thunder sound stimulated the physical body, causing the flesh and bones to briefly strengthen. When that time came, whether it was strength, speed, or resistance to blows, all would receive a boost.

Li Luo was extremely satisfied with this.

This trip could be called a bountiful harvest. Not only had his own strength broken through to the fourth transformation of the Transformation Phase stage, only one step away from the Earth Sha General rank, but his physical body had also been tempered, and he had even cultivated the Thunder Roar Physique.

If he were to fight Jing Jing Taixu again now, Li Luo was confident he could crush his opponent, no longer needing to fight to the point of utter exhaustion like before.

"Stop savoring it, hurry up and come up."

While Li Luo was immersed in these gains, Lu Ming's voice came from outside the Lei Wangtan.

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but for some reason, Li Luo always sensed a hint of sourness.

Nevertheless, he still smiled and nodded. With a tap of his toe, his figure leapt up and landed outside the Lei Wangtan.

"Your phase force has reached the fourth transformation of the Transformation Phase stage?" Lu Ming's eyes stared fixedly at Li Luo. When the lightning had dispersed earlier, she had clearly sensed that the phase force fluctuations emanating from Li Luo's body were far stronger than before.

Clearly, Li Luo's phase force level had risen.

Hearing this, Li Luo did not deny it, and smiled with a nod.

Lu Ming gently bit her red lips, feeling a little aggrieved. One must remember that when she first met Li Luo, this fellow's strength was still inferior to hers, yet in such a short time, he had actually stepped into the fourth transformation of the Transformation Phase stage ahead of her.

However, she was not the type to bemoan her fate. Since she was currently behind, she would simply catch up later. She immediately said, "It seems you've also cultivated the 'Thunder Roar Physique.' But there's something I need to remind you of. The Thunder Roar Physique is a method that shakes the thunder furnace within the body to form thunder

sounds, using them to stimulate the physical body to erupt with greater strength. But the thunder sound's vibration also has some drawbacks, namely that once overstimulated, it can even cause tremendous damage to your physical body."

"So the royal family of the Black Wind Empire also calls the Thunder Roar Physique the 'Fivefold Thunder Sound Physique.' As the name suggests, its limit is activating fivefold thunder sounds to stimulate the physical body. Of course, we most likely won't reach that level, because our thunder furnaces right now can at most erupt with 'onefold thunder sound.'"

"Fivefold thunder sounds, huh..."

Li Luo nodded, committing this information to memory.

"Just keep this hidden danger in mind, and besides... you might not necessarily trigger it." Lu Ming glanced at Li Luo, and that look seemed to carry a hint of regret.

"What do you mean?" Li Luo frowned and asked.

"The thunder furnace within us right now has only just taken shape. If we want to truly cultivate the Thunder Roar Physique to great completion in the future, we will need to continuously empower and temper it with thunder-attribute phase force. If we cannot do this, then the thunder furnace within our body will, through repeated use, gradually deplete its stored thunder energy. When the thunder energy is exhausted, the thunder furnace will also disappear along with it."

Lu Ming spread her hands as she spoke to this point: "You should understand what I mean."

Li Luo suddenly understood. He knew what Lu Ming wanted to say. Although he had now cultivated the Thunder Roar Physique, he had one problem: he himself did not possess a thunder resonance, and naturally could not cultivate thunder-attribute phase force. Without thunder-attribute phase force to empower and replenish the thunder furnace, his Thunder Roar Physique could not exist for long.

Lu Ming's regretful gaze was sympathizing with him over the fact that his Thunder Roar Physique was merely a temporary trial pass.

"But you don't need to be upset. Although the Thunder Roar Physique is only temporary, your physical body has genuinely received a boost." Lu Ming, afraid Li Luo's spirits would sink, quickly offered further comfort.

Li Luo smiled and nodded.

His expression made Lu Ming somewhat surprised; did Li Luo feel no regret at all? Or was he merely suppressing his emotions, unwilling to show them?

But these words certainly could not be spoken, so Lu Ming quickly shifted the topic: "Let's go up first?"

After seeing Li Luo nod, she turned and went ahead.

Li Luo walked behind, gazing at Lu Ming's slender and graceful back; he smiled, then spread his palm. In his palm lay a silver seed, upon which natural thunder patterns were formed, clearly no ordinary object.

This silver thunder seed had appeared in his hand when he previously walked out of Lei Wangtan; clearly, this too was a gift from the Thunder Roaring Tree.

Within this thunder seed, he could sense extremely pure and mighty thunder energy.

His fingers rubbed the rough surface of the thunder seed, and a thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes.

Thunder Phase power... Lei Xiang?

Actually, it is not impossible to possess.

Li Luo smiled.

He felt that his third acquired phase was already showing some signs.
