護花近衛 - 第4714章 雷電傳承 - 清風書屋

This earth-shaking battle between supreme beings went on for no one knew how long, and no one knew who had ultimately emerged victorious. In any case, Wei Zhao would never learn the outcome, much less what had become of the giant electric eel. Halfway through the scene, the immense fragment of memory suddenly shattered, and the obsession that had been calling out to him vanished with it. In an instant, heaven and earth returned to peace.

"Hoo!" Wei Zhao let out a long breath of foul air and abruptly awoke from the memory. As he stared around in astonishment, cold sweat poured down him and lingering fear seized his heart. It felt just like waking from a nightmare.

Fortunately, he had witnessed the memory fragment as an outsider. Had he truly been there in person, the terrifying beings would not even have needed to act; the tangible pressure alone would have crushed him to pieces.

Wei Zhao instinctively glanced around, then suddenly froze. Only then did he realize that his body had somehow returned to normal. More than that, it had been reborn and transformed into something far stronger.

Curiously examining himself from head to toe, Wei Zhao discovered that the strength of his physical body had increased by at least a substantial margin. Even his meridians had become far more resilient, utterly incomparable to what they had been before. Such a tremendous improvement was certainly worth ten years of arduous cultivation. Yet that was not what shocked him most.

What truly left Wei Zhao stunned was the true energy surging through his meridians. It seemed to carry within it a trace of lightning.

"You were already a freak with five elemental and seven total attributes. Now you have become a freak with five elemental and eight total attributes. If the nature of your spiritual roots were ever measured, the whole world would be thrown into chaos," the old ghost sighed ruefully.

"You mean I have gained the thunder attribute?" Wei Zhao asked in astonishment, scarcely able to believe it. It seemed inconceivable, but at that very moment he could clearly and unmistakably feel the power of lightning within his true energy. There was no doubt about it.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. He possessed all five elemental spiritual-root attributes, while also carrying the two illusory attributes of ice and mist. Now he had acquired the exceedingly rare thunder attribute as well. Wei Zhao suddenly felt that he had made an enormous profit from this trial on West Island. Even if he failed to obtain the Thunder Mystic Vine afterward, this newly gained thunder attribute alone far outweighed every heavenly treasure. It was something one could never obtain simply by asking.

"That is right. It is all thanks to that barrage of lightning just now. It seems that great electric eel truly intended to pass its legacy on to you; it even flattened this obstacle for you. With your comprehension, cultivating its lightning techniques should not be too difficult," the old ghost cackled.

Wei Zhao's eyes lit up. He had long yearned for the giant electric eel's peerless lightning techniques. How could he possibly hold himself back after hearing this? He immediately began his first attempt. Leaving aside that world-destroying Heaven's Punishment technique, even the fleeting flash of a deep-purple electric arc would give him another formidable trump card.

Crackle, crackle! Although it was his first attempt, in only a brief moment he successfully gathered the lightning power coursing through his meridians. Electric arcs then flashed across his fingertips, growing denser and denser until they gradually covered his entire palm. From a distance, it looked as though he were wearing a glove made of lightning, giving him an intensely surreal, almost science-fictional appearance.
