Chapter 2108 Is This Young Friend Really... An Alchemist? (5)
Boom!
The terrifying force of the calamity lightning completely engulfed w.a.n.g Teng"s body, accompanied by intense stabbing sensations.
"Gasp!"
w.a.n.g Teng immediately drew in a sharp breath. d.a.m.n, this time, he had gone a bit too far. Even with the Lightning Slap blocking a few, there were still around 32 bolts of lightning left, all cras.h.i.+ng onto his body. It was a truly formidable challenge.
He didn"t have the time to think. He immediately activated all his physiques.
True Dragon Battle Physique!
Ancient G.o.d"s Body!
A green flame swept out, coalescing into dragon scales of flames on w.a.n.g Teng"s body. Simultaneously, a rus.h.i.+ng sound emanated from within him as a mysterious golden pattern appeared on his forehead.
Then…
Divine Level Physique Talent!
After activating this talent, the cells within him immediately became incredibly active.
The overwhelmingly terrifying force of the calamity lightning instantly transformed into a special power, refining his physique. With the divine-level physique talent in operation, it continuously tempered his flesh and blood.
"That"s Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng!"
Many people were surprised to see w.a.n.g Teng appear.
Ever since w.a.n.g Teng made the Yin-Yang Dragon Essence Pill, many people at the volcano recognized him.
Now, seeing him again, everyone knew that this grandmaster who crazily concocted nine batches of pills was the extremely young Master w.a.n.g Teng.
Grandmasters Pu Yongnian and Cecilia couldn"t help exchanging glances, followed by a bitter smile.
They were speculating which grandmaster it might be, never expecting it to be the Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng they knew.
At the same time, their astonishment deepened.
Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng"s alchemical skills were becoming increasingly unfathomable.
Concocting supreme-grade pills and simultaneously concocting nine furnaces of grandmaster-level pills were not feats within the reach of an ordinary grandmaster.
Some distance away, Alchemy Saint Tao Yuan and the middle-aged man were also looking at this scene in astonishment.
"Is he using the thunder tribulations to temper his body?" The middle-aged man"s gaze was keen, expressing surprise.
"I forgot about that. This young friend also has strong martial talent. He"s a genius on the Star Rankings," Alchemy Saint Tao Yuan remarked thoughtfully.
"After all, he was recruited by the Stellar Academies based on his martial talent. This is good, the higher his martial cultivation, the greater the help for his future alchemical achievements," the middle-aged man commented.
Boom!
The fifth wave of lightning brewed within the calamitous clouds, an endless convergence of thunderous power even more terrifying than before.
Everyone gazed at the sky with solemn expressions, silently perspiring on behalf of w.a.n.g Teng.
This lightning calamity was terrifying!
No one had ever successfully concocted nine furnaces of grandmaster-level pills so no one knew how fearsome the lightning would be.
Now, everyone knew.
And the sensation was incredibly clear as if they were just one step away from experiencing it themselves.
As they watched w.a.n.g Teng"s figure amidst the thunderous glow, they marveled silently and felt a profound admiration.
Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng"s physical body was remarkably robust. He was able to withstand the relentless onslaught of so many thunder tribulations.
For some reason, they suddenly felt a twinge of envy.
After all, being able to withstand thunder tribulations seemed quite enjoyable for alchemists.
It was like a group of frail scholars suddenly having a physically strong man who excelled in both academics and physical prowess join them, surpa.s.sing them in every way. The feeling was one of envy and admiration.
Of course, there was also concern.
The lightning calamity was too terrifying. If, by any chance, w.a.n.g Teng were accidentally struck down, the alchemical world would lose an unparalleled genius. It would be a regrettable loss.
Before long, the fifth wave of calamity lightning reached its zenith, and 45 thunderbolts descended.
w.a.n.g Teng sat cross-legged in the sky, his eyes closed. Amidst the thunderous onslaught, he remained unmoved as if transformed into an unyielding and unbreakable stone statue.
Many were deeply moved by this sight.
Boom!
Soon after came the sixth wave of calamity lightning, dense and numerous. A total of 54 thunderbolts fell like gigantic serpents, connecting the heavens and continuously bombarding w.a.n.g Teng.
Everyone felt their facial muscles twitching uncontrollably, and even a layer of gooseb.u.mps appeared on their skin. It seemed as if their bodies couldn"t help but tremble under the relentless a.s.sault.
54 bolts of lightning!
The impact was truly overwhelming.
Yet, it was not over. The calamitous clouds continued to churn violently, leaving the onlookers numb. What kind of grandmaster-level pills was Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng concocting?
Boom!
Amidst the intense roar, many people"s eyes narrowed, and exclamations filled the air.
"What"s that?"
They witnessed the calamitous clouds slowly rotating, transforming into a dark and profound vortex. All the thunderous energy converged towards the center of the vortex.
A sudden change occurred!
Countless bolts of lightning gathered at the center, this time seeming not to emphasize quant.i.ty.
"Something"s wrong!" The middle-aged man in the distance spoke with unusual seriousness, "Because of this young friend"s intervention, the thunderbolts are gathering into a ma.s.s rather than remaining separate. He"s in danger… great danger!"
"This last wave was originally supposed to be 63 bolts of lightning. If they gather together… Oh my!" Even Alchemy Saint Tao Yuan sucked in a cold breath, feeling that w.a.n.g Teng was a bit reckless. He insisted on simultaneously concocting nine furnaces of pills, and now it seemed like things had escalated.
"Are there any powerful physique martial warriors here? If you don"t help this young friend, I"m afraid he might die," the middle-aged man said with a bitter smile.
"Where can we find powerful physique martial warriors now?" Alchemy Saint Tao Yuan shook his head.
Tong En and the others turned pale. They felt that their time had come.
"It"s over! It"s over! We"re done for!" Tong En"s eyes trembled as she circled the room, visibly frightened.
"What do we do?" Yuan Bai swallowed hard and asked.
"What can we do? Who can withstand such a powerful lightning calamity?" Tong En complained, "We are going to get killed by w.a.n.g Teng!"
"If things get really bad, we"ll use all our life-saving methods together to withstand this wave," Wei Na suggested.
"That"s all we can do." Tong En gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "If we don"t die this time, I"ll make w.a.n.g Teng compensate us for our losses."
As they discussed how to resist the calamity lightning to save their lives, w.a.n.g Teng also sensed the abnormality of the last wave of tribulations. He looked up, revealing a trace of shock in his eyes.
d.a.m.n, these thunder tribulations were cheating!
It was supposed to be 63 thunder tribulations, but they unexpectedly gathered together. This wasn"t fair.
He didn"t understand why this sudden change occurred.
He hadn"t done anything special. He was just resisting the lightning as usual. It wasn"t the first or second time. Why was the reaction so intense this time?
Could it be that these calamity lightning were feeling petty? Did they think he was handling them too easily, so they decided to throw a bigger challenge at him?
However, he immediately thought of the last time he faced the tribulations in the Chaotic Uncharted. Using the power of chaos seemed to aid in the transformation of his physical body.
w.a.n.g Teng was a bit frustrated and helpless. The last wave of tribulations was brewing to the extreme, ready to burst forth. He could only brace himself.
However, he immediately thought of the last time he faced the tribulations in the Chaotic Uncharted. Using the power of chaos seemed to aid in the transformation of his physical body.
w.a.n.g Teng"s eyes flashed with determination as he immediately activated the Chaos Constellation Scripture, converting all the Force within him into chaotic energy.
Boom!
At this moment, the calamity lightning at the center of the cloud finally descended with a mighty force, transforming into an immensely thick lightning pillar that struck w.a.n.g Teng.
Terrifying power swept towards w.a.n.g Teng"s body, seemingly intending to completely destroy his flesh and obliterate him within the thunderstorm.
Gritting his teeth, w.a.n.g Teng endured the intense pain and circulated the chaotic energy he had just converted throughout his limbs, repairing the damage to his body.
His divine-level physique talent was also in frenzied operation, constantly undergoing refinement and absorbing chaotic energy to repair the damages caused by the destruction.
…
Time pa.s.sed slowly. This last lightning calamity lasted a full ten minutes before slowly dissipating.
The dark clouds in the sky also dispersed, returning to their original brightness. The suffocating pressure that had enveloped everything finally disappeared.
All around, there was complete silence. Everyone held their breath, looking towards the dissipating point of the last calamity lightning.
A figure slowly emerged.
He was not wearing armor, and his clothes were torn apart. He wore black pants on his lower body, and his upper body was bare, revealing a perfect set of muscles. The residual lightning danced on his muscles, presenting a shocking sight.
Even more incredible was that besides the torn clothes, the figure"s flesh showed no signs of damage.
It was as if the lightning had not harmed him in the slightest!
Above those perfect and harmonious muscles, a faint glow emanated, as if carved from precious jade.
Below, Tong En and the others, holding onto their life-saving items, stared blankly at w.a.n.g Teng in the sky, dumbfounded.
"Is this young man really… an alchemist?" The middle-aged man from afar couldn"t help but inhale sharply, turning to ask Alchemy Saint Tao Yuan.
"I… don"t know either!" Alchemy Saint Tao Yuan suddenly doubted himself.
