Chapter 68: Thunder Breath, Lightning Strike
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Lingjun took his time understanding the two new skills.
The first skill, Thunder Breath, was also known as a breathing technique.
The electric eel could use a special breathing method to let the power of lightning temper the whole body, encourage blood flow, and continuously improve the toughness and strength of the internal organs, limbs, and bones.
This was a passive skill.
After continuous practice, the cultivator would not need to take the initiative to control it and this technique could operate automatically.
Even if Thunder Breath might not improve his physical fitness much now, the physical quality of the body would undergo a huge leap in the future as the quantitative change would reach a qualitative change!
Chu Lingjun’s eyes lit up when he saw this skill!
What was the biggest weakness of the electric eel? Having low physical attributes!
As his cultivation increased, the spiritual power feedback from the electric eel increased, but the vitality value decreased.
After successfully advancing, his spiritual power increased by 10 points, but his vitality only increased by 5 points. This was determined by the innate attributes of the electric eel clone, and Chu Lingjun had no choice but to accept it.
Now, with the appearance of the new skill, Thunder Breath, it can fill the weakness of the electric eel clone.
With this passive skill, the physical attributes of the electric eel clone would slowly increase, and then catch up with the spiritual power!
Chu Lingjun was ecstatic. His wish was delivered on a silver platter!
Chu Lingjun then looked at the second skill, Lightning Strike.
This was a martial art movement technique. First, he must gather the power of lightning on his legs, allowing him to burst out with extremely fast speed in a short period of time. Then, he can move as fast as lightning!
The appearance of these two new skills improved Chu Lingjun’s combat ability, opening more combat options.
Similarly, as the electric eel clone rose to Level Two, the two old skills, Discharge and Electric Field, were also upgraded!
The distance of the Discharge skill had increased from 150 meters to 300 meters; doubling in range!
Similarly, the lightning snakes that were originally released were only the size of hemp ropes.
After advancing, its size had doubled, turning into an electric python as thick as an arm, and its power had doubled!
Chu Lingjun discovered that the blue lightning he had was now mixed with a trace of purple lightning!
Chu Lingjun carefully sensed the purple lightning and felt that it contained a majestic and mighty aura!
Although it was only a trace, its power could not be underestimated!
Chu Lingjun hadn’t expected this.
As the skill level increased, would the power and form of the skill also change?
Chu Lingjun looked at the Electric Field skill.
Similarly, after the Electric Field skill was upgraded, there were new changes.
He could control the detection of the Electric Field skill. Before this, the detection method of the Electric Field skill was fixed.
That was a sphere with a radius of 300 meters in the center of Chu Lingjun’s body.
Chu Lingjun’s heart skipped a beat from the discovery. The sphere of the Electric Field slowly expanded and flattened, turning into a cuboid!
It could even turn the cuboid into a rectangular cross-section and explore things further up front.
Chu Lingjun was extremely curious about this change!
He experimented many times and finally realized that when he flattened the spherical Electric Field and turned it into a rectangular exploration surface that was 150 meters wide, the exploration distance could reach an astonishing 1000 meters with Chu Lingjun as the starting point!
The Electric Field can interchangeably go from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional perspective!
This exploration distance was more than three times that of the previous 300 meters he had!
However, the price of doing so was that although the exploration distance had increased, so would the blind spots. The places outside the exploration area would not be detected.
Chu Lingjun could only sense what was inside the exploration plane and knew nothing about what was outside.
Although the flaw was obvious, it still made Chu Lingjun very excited because it meant that he could sense anything 1000 meters away!
During a battle, sometimes this foresight could establish a huge advantage!
Chu Lingjun tried again. He found that squashing the Electric Field into a two-dimensional surface that was 150 meters wide and 1000 meters long was the limit.
There was no way to continue compressing the exploration surface and changing its shape.
He will have to wait for the Electric Field skill to be upgraded in the future to make changes.
In Lianjiang, the electric eel clone was getting familiar with its newly acquired ability. The Electric Field skill turned into a cross-section and swept forward. Instantly, everything within 1000 meters of the Electric Field appeared in his mind.
First, he scanned the area with a cross-section to determine the prey he wanted to hunt. Then, the Electric Field expanded into a sphere that enveloped the surroundings.
The electric eel clone slowly approached a log in the river.
The log didn’t seem to be anything special. It was about four to five meters long and floated on the river.
However, when a mutated fish approached the log, the scene suddenly changed!
The log suddenly turned into a bloody mouth from the middle and bit the mutated fish. In an instant, the river water was soaked in blood, and the red waves were flushed down by the stream.
It turned out that this was not a log, but a giant crocodile in the river that was pretending to be a log to attract fish!
The scales on the crocodile’s body were black, and there were many hard bumps on its body, allowing it to stand motionless. When it floated on the river, it looked very much like a log!
The crocodile’s mouth and head were covered with a thick layer of pale green scales, almost like moss growing on logs.
This giant crocodile was the Copper-Headed Crocodile King; it was ranked second among the Four Tyrants!
The Copper-Headed Crocodile King’s attack was sudden and fierce, preventing the prey from letting out a wail before it died.
The Copper-Headed Crocodile King ate heartily, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed the mutated fish whole.
Then, it used the same trick again, lying lazily on the river surface like a common log drifting with the current.
Suddenly, a bolt of blue lightning suddenly struck the Copper-Headed Crocodile King’s head.
Upon closer inspection, this blue lightning bolt also contained a trace of majestic purple lightning.
The Copper-Headed Crocodile King’s body flashed with a golden light to resist the lightning. However, the golden light did not last long before it was pierced through by the lightning and landed on its body!
As the second strongest of the Four Tyrants, the Copper-Headed Crocodile King was not only strong, but it could also control the power of the metal element!
It had used the power of the metal element to block the lightning, but the lightning still managed to punch through!
The Copper-Headed Crocodile King was now covered in blue lightning. It jumped out of the water and crashed into the riverbed, struggling to survive!
Yet again, another bolt of blue lightning shot over without mercy. The Copper-Headed Crocodile King could no longer hold on. Its body stiffened and twitched before it went limp. Bubbles and black smoke rose from its body, and it gradually lost its breath.
“Incredible!”
In the room, Chu Lingjun cheered.
The Copper-Headed Crocodile King was a Middle Stage Level Two exotic beast. However, against the electric eel clone — which had just advanced to an Early Stage Level Two beast — it couldn’t resist the lighting power and was electrocuted to death!
Chu Lingjun felt great and quickly let the electric eel clone take the Copper-Headed Crocodile King back to the cave.
At this moment, Chu Lingjun suddenly goosebumps at the back of his neck. A huge sense of fear enveloped his entire body!
The electric eel clone, which was biting on the spoils of war on the river, also trembled. It dived into the river with the crocodile in its mouth without caring about anything else. It acted like it was in a sorry state as if there was something huge and terrifying behind it!
Not long after the electric eel dove into the river, a group of figures in black capes slowly appeared on the shore, hovering over like ghosts..
