Chapter 71

At noon that day, after Chen Fan had lunch at Wang Yanran's home, he returned home alone.

"Advancing to a Second-Tier Ability User is at this moment!" Chen Fan calmed his excited mood and adjusted his state to the best.

He adjusted the output voltage of the voltage regulator to eight hundred volts.

However, his body had no reaction!

Chen Fan frowned slightly and increased the voltage bit by bit.

However, when he adjusted it to one thousand volts, his whole body felt severe pain, and his cells began to tear!

However, Chen Fan soon realized that the problem was wrong!

In the past, when his body felt pain, it would be accompanied by the joy of cell regeneration.

However, this time, not only did he not have the slightest pleasure, but his body's cells seemed to be extremely repulsed by this electrical energy!

After Chen Fan persisted for more than a dozen breaths, he decisively unplugged the power.

"Why can't I advance by absorbing lightning this time?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly! He couldn't figure it out.

According to the system, the Thunder-Devouring Sacred Body would become stronger by devouring lightning.

He hurriedly asked the system about his doubts, but facing such questions, the system always chose silence.

"Dog system!" Chen Fan cursed in his heart.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to ask someone else.

And this candidate could only be Li Zhi! After all, among the people Chen Fan could trust, the most powerful was Li Zhi!

Li Zhi answered the phone soon, and after hearing about Chen Fan's ability characteristics, he almost dropped his jaw.

"Are you sure you could advance by absorbing lightning in the past?" Li Zhi confirmed repeatedly.

"Yes, Old Li, can I lie to you?" Chen Fan was asked seven or eight times and was somewhat anxious.

Li Zhi was dumbfounded; he really wanted to say, kid, stay steady and don't be reckless; wait until you become a Martial Saint by relying on this before you come out to show off, it won't be too late.

"Chen Fan, can I call you brother from now on, and I'll be your little brother, is that okay?" Li Zhi was rarely a bit unserious.

"Go, go, go, Old Li, don't be poor; I can't devour lightning to advance in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you to take care of me." Chen Fan was a bit frustrated.

Li Zhi said sourly: "It's impossible not to be able to advance; the reason you can't absorb electrical energy is because you are facing a major hurdle this time!"

"Major hurdle? Is it different from the previous advancements?" Chen Fan was a bit puzzled.

"It must be different!" Li Zhi gritted his teeth.

"Speaking of which, Chen Fan, after we go to university, can we properly make up for this common sense of ability cultivation?"

Chen Fan: "..."

"Old Li, what time is it, don't expose people's shortcomings!!!"

Li Zhi smiled sheepishly and hurriedly explained: "Any ability advancement requires understanding the 'Dao' corresponding to it; this is why everyone needs to practice cultivation methods."

"The cultivation methods record the predecessors' understanding of the 'Dao'; learning cultivation methods related to one's own ability can more intuitively and conveniently understand the corresponding 'Dao'!"

"And your ability is a bit special, actually able to advance by absorbing lightning."

"In my opinion, it should be that while your body is absorbing lightning, your cells automatically absorb a certain rule contained in the electrical energy!"

"And the reason you can't absorb electrical energy to advance again now is perhaps because your body has thoroughly absorbed the 'Dao' contained in artificial electrical energy."

"So, if you want to advance to the Second Tier, you need to absorb lightning of other natures, such as the lightning on exotic beasts or even the thunder that exists in the natural world, etc.!"

"So that's how it is." Chen Fan listened carefully, and he felt that what Li Zhi said made a lot of sense.

Every time he absorbed electrical energy in the past, he always felt that his cerebral cortex was extremely excited; this seemed to be subtly feeling the 'Dao' within it.

"Old Li, thank you for clearing up my confusion; you are worthy of being my good big brother." Chen Fan figured out the key to this and was very happy.

"I don't dare to be a good brother." Li Zhi laughed loudly: "Just don't turn around and not recognize people after you become a Martial Saint."

"That won't happen." Chen Fan denied decisively and joked: "Old Li, I can not recognize others, but not you. After all, you still owe me 110 million; I will remember this for a lifetime."

The relationship between the two was truly good now; Chen Fan admired him for being a conscientious and good mayor, and Li Zhi admired Chen Fan for being a hot-blooded and good young man.

After Chen Fan hung up the phone, he calculated his next plan.

He didn't dare to touch the lightning that fell from the natural world; after all, that thing would probably turn him into ashes in an instant.

So if he wanted to advance to a Second-Tier Ability User, he could only rely on the thunder power within exotic beasts.

And according to Li Zhi, he needed to absorb the lightning from at least three Second-Tier exotic beasts to have a possibility of advancing!

"There are still a few days until school starts; I'll go to Yuliang Pass during this time, break through first!"

Chen Fan prepared to go to Yuliang Pass to try his luck.

After making his plans, he called Wang Yanran to help take care of Tongtong.

After making arrangements, Chen Fan stuffed some food, seasonings, pots and pans, and some camping equipment into his space bracelet.

"Just treat it as a vacation, but the three-cubic-meter space ring is not enough."

Chen Fan was a bit helpless; he originally wanted to stuff in a folding bed...

"I wonder when I can win another space ring?"

At this thought, Chen Fan suddenly remembered that the reward for helping Yang Chuchu awaken her ability had not been drawn yet.

So he hurriedly clicked to draw.

"Space ring! Space ring!" Chen Fan kept praying in his heart.

Finally, the blue roulette stopped turning, and what appeared in front of him was a red porcelain bottle.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining a bottle of Great Sun Pure Yang Pill.

"Didn't win a space ring!" Chen Fan was slightly disappointed.

He took the porcelain bottle in his hand and opened the stopper; inside were more than a dozen small red pills.

"So fragrant?" Chen Fan sniffed lightly, and instantly felt a sense of boiling blood.

"Good stuff, this is probably some kind of divine medicine."

He hurriedly asked the system: "What is the effect of this thing?"

"After consuming the Great Sun Pure Yang Pill, an ability user can fight for three days without exhaustion."

"Hmm, good stuff, isn't this an upgraded version of the Essence Nourishing Pill? No wonder I felt my blood boiling just by smelling it." Chen Fan was happy.

However, the system's next sentence almost made him explode with profanity.

"Host, please note that because this pill requires mobilizing the entire body's primordial yang power, it has a huge side effect; once consumed, you will be impotent for three months!"

"Wait... wait a minute, what do you mean by impotent for three months?!" The hand holding the jade bottle trembled slightly.

"Is this impotence the same as the one I understand?" Chen Fan tried to ask.

However, the system no longer paid attention to him.

Chen Fan hurriedly plugged the lid of the jade bottle to avoid the aura it emitted from affecting himself.

"Impotent for three months, isn't this just being a eunuch for three months! Bah."

Chen Fan was very disgusted by this.

But it was too much of a pity to throw away something that could save his life, so after repeated consideration, Chen Fan decided to give it to Li Zhi later.

"Old Li shouldn't mind, right? After all, at his age, impotence is impotence."

And at this time, Li Zhi was originally in his office explaining his next work to his secretary.

But for some reason, he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

At this moment, the secretary who was originally sexy in his eyes also became dull and tasteless...
