Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 787: Chapter 787: The Test of Gifts

Countless thunder and lightning surrounded Xiao Yi.

The aura of thunder grew richer and more mellow.

Gradually, the entire Secret Realm once again became a world of thunder and lightning.

However, the current space wasn’t violent at all, but rather quite comfortable, as if bathing in the ocean of thunder and lightning.

The dried blood flakes on Xiao Yi’s body kept falling off, revealing newly formed smooth and white skin.

His wounds also healed in no time.

This baptism was also strengthening his physical strength.

The cultivation of his Thunder Gang Battle Body was also continuously increasing.

Thunder roamed around his body.

Every moment, his physical body became stronger and more perfect.

Slowly, Xiao Yi immersed himself in this comfortable wandering.

After several hours, the ambling finally subsided.

Xiao Yi snapped out of the silence and let out a light breath.

The thunder within the entire Secret Realm had already disappeared.

There were still traces of thunder winding around Xiao Yi’s body, crackling faintly.

Yet this crackling sound was not at all discordant.

From afar, beneath that handsome face, the smooth and white skin, coupled with the laziness inadvertently revealed under the comfort,

gave an inexplicable feeling.

Perfect, powerful, as if the Thunder God had descended.

”Disperse,” Xiao Yi uttered softly, and the crackling thunder around him instantly dissipated.

Just then, within the subspace, a sudden cracking sound was emitted.

Confused, Xiao Yi looked over and saw the space around him twisting and then collapsing.

But this collapse did not affect the entire Secret Realm.

It was merely within a kilometer radius.

With a ’pop,’ it seemed as though some air or barrier had broken.

Purified thunder auras suddenly emerged.

Dozens of fruits emitting blue light appeared, dazzling to behold.

”Hisss.” Xiao Yi gasped as he looked at the area where the space had collapsed.

In front of him was a dense cluster of Wind Thunder Fruits.

No, there were also Wind Thunder Holy Fruits.

There were no less than a hundred Wind Thunder Holy Fruits.

And the ordinary Wind Thunder Fruits, looking at the dense quantity, there seemed to be no less than ten thousand.

”So that’s it.” Xiao Yi’s face revealed a realization, and then he shook his head helplessly.

Whether it was the baptism of those thunders before or the Wind Thunder Holy Fruits and Wind Thunder Fruits that had appeared now,

they all represented that the previously encountered 51 Thunder Pillars and countless rampaging thunders were not a mutational anomaly or accident.

Rather, it was a method left by the Thunder Gang Saint.

These methods were not meant to destroy this Secret Realm, but rather another form of test for the comprehenders who came here.

Initially, the thunder in the Thunder Pool and the thunder encountered upon entering this Secret Realm were all tests of inheritance.

By passing them, one could receive the Martial Arts Inheritance of the Thunder Gang Saint.

The later 51 Thunder Pillars and the rampaging thunder were tests within the gifts left by the Thunder Gang Saint.

By passing them, one could obtain these gifts.

It was those thunder baptisms, along with these countless Wind Thunder Fruits.

The reason Xiao Yi appeared helpless was that he was making guesses.

And if he wasn’t wrong, the Wind Thunder Royal Family probably owned treasures that granted free entry into this Secret Realm.

Or perhaps, even objects that could control this Secret Realm.

Such objects must be passed down by the Thunder Gang Saint to his descendants.

Let descendants voluntarily enter this Secret Realm and comprehend his Inheritance.

Xiao Yi believed his conjecture was correct.

There were two trials: one concerning the Inheritance, and the other concerning gifts.

First, obtain the Inheritance. As for receiving the gifts, it all depended on one’s own ability.

Moreover, the trial for the gift allowed descendants to attempt it gradually and was not meant to be conquered in one go.

Otherwise, the 51 bolts of thunder, especially the last one, would be insurmountable even for veteran experts of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

Most probably, the purpose was to have the Comprehenders obtain the Inheritance first and then try to pass the trial of the gift repeatedly.

First a Thunder Pillar, then, a second and a third...

Once the Comprehender couldn’t endure it anymore, they could use such Treasures to leave instantly, interrupting the trial without losing their life.

Only when the Comprehender became stronger could they return and challenge it again.

Xiao Yi grimaced; he wasn’t from the Wind Thunder Royal Family, nor did he possess such Treasures.

This had led to his earlier perilous situation.

Had it not been for his numerous life-saving cards, the 51 Thunder Pillars would have killed him.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yi didn’t dwell on it further.

With a flash, he moved toward the hundred Wind Thunder Holy Fruits.

He picked one and then began to consume and absorb it.

In an instant, streams of pure thunder power surged into his body; first, most of the power merged into his physique, and then a smaller portion was used to temper his body.

One by one, the Wind Thunder Holy Fruits, and the Wind Thunder Fruits were plucked and absorbed by him.

His skill in the Thunder Gang Battle Body advanced, and his Physical Strength continued to strengthen.

An hour later, Xiao Yi stopped picking.

”Heavenly Extreme Third Layer.” Xiao Yi clenched his strong fist, his face filled with joy.

From entering this Secret Realm and initially facing the trial about the Inheritance, his body had been tempered by the thunder, and operating the Thunder Gang Battle Body Cultivation Technique had already elevated his Physical Strength to the Earth Extreme Peak level.

After completely comprehending the Inheritance, his Physical Strength had already broken through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

Following the Thunder Pillar’s trial and purging, his Physical Strength broke through another layer.

And now, these Wind Thunder Holy Fruits and Wind Thunder Fruits had allowed him to break through yet another layer.

Thus, his Physical Strength had reached the Heavenly Extreme Third Layer.

Just the Wind Thunder Fruits alone were considered Peak Eighth Grade rarities among the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even rarer than some Ninth Grade Heavenly Materials.

One can imagine the strong effects of the Wind Thunder Fruit.

Not to mention the Wind Thunder Holy Fruit, which was far superior in tier compared to the Wind Thunder Fruit.

At the moment, about 50 or so Wind Thunder Holy Fruits were still around.

Densely packed Wind Thunder Fruits were also at about half.

Xiao Yi didn’t intend to continue picking and absorbing them.

Because, this kind of pure enhancement from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and heavy absorption, had its limits.

Once this limit was exceeded, beyond the range that the medicinal power could provide, the effects of these Heavenly Materials would gradually weaken.

Any Heavenly Material, especially those greatly beneficial to the Martial Artists’ Cultivation, shared this trait.

Of course, if they were refined into Elixir Elixirs, this limitation wouldn’t exist.

In Ancient Times, the emergence of the Alchemist profession wasn’t without reason.

Alchemists were almost the fastest profession for Martial Artists to enhance their Cultivation.

Back to the main point.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, casually collected a few Wind Thunder Holy Fruits and several dozen Wind Thunder Fruits, then turned and left.

He picked a few with the intent to see if they could be used as refining materials later.

Thunder Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were relatively rare, and Elixir Elixirs with this attribute were also uncommon.

Therefore, Xiao Yi didn’t take too many.

Whoosh... With a flash, Xiao Yi, leveraging his knowledge from the Thunder Gang Saint’s Martial Arts Inheritance, instantly left this Subspace.

...

The third update.
