Chapter 98: Drawing Lightning
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Tomorrow afternoon, there will be a thunderstorm in a part of the city. The risk of this thunderstorm is at Level 4. At that time, please pay attention to the citizens and try not to go out. Stop all soul pets’ outdoor training. If there are lightning type soul pets that need to evolve, please go to the nearby power plant and register in advance.”
The weather forecast was on time.
w.a.n.g Che waited for a week and finally saw this news.
!!
The risk of a Level 4 Thunderstorm was the lowest.
This meant that the range and strength of the divine lightning produced was the lowest.
In any case, it was the least dangerous.
In the past seven days, the Magnetic Sword had been relatively stable.
Normally, as long as it entered the soul pet treasure box, it wouldn’t have much of an effect on the outside world.
When w.a.n.g Che went to school, he usually placed it in his soul pet treasure box. It wouldn’t fly out now.
After school, when he brought the little caterpillar to the training room, he would only let it out for two hours to feed and play.
w.a.n.g Che had already completed the refinement of the nuclear stone.
He used his mental strength to sense many Origin Stone mines and used the flames produced by the green caterpillar’s Raging Flame Strike to burn and refine them. He could refine a type of nuclear stone with very stable mechanical energy.
It had to be said that when the green caterpillar used the Raging Flame Strike, the flames produced were very useful.
Because it was a soul skill, as the green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation increased, its power also gradually increased.
The temperature of the flames also increased.
Compared to the flames produced by normal families using gas, it was much higher.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to extract these Origin Stone ores.
To w.a.n.g Che’s surprise, he found two special stones from the Floating Forest.
There were two special rock crystals. One contained rich fire attribute life force, and the other was very firm and contained rich rock life force.
w.a.n.g Che refined the stone ore crystal that contained the life force of the rock and mixed it into the nuclear stone.
Finally, it created a pale yellow nuclear stone.
Of course, there were a few accidents and explosions during the process.
The reason was that the refinement method was a little ancient. When the green caterpillar used the Raging Flame Strike, it did not control the temperature of the flames well.
If one did not control the heat well, the energy fusion when the Origin Stone mine dissolved would be unstable. It was normal for an explosion to occur.
This made w.a.n.g Che think that in the future, he could use this method to increase the green caterpillar’s proficiency in the Raging Flame Strike.
After a series of obstacles and three days, he finally refined about 300 nuclear stones.
This used up an entire stone mine crystal.
Currently, the Magnetic Sword ate between two to three stones a day.
It could take about a hundred days to finish them.
Three months was enough.
This special nuclear stone that was refined contained a trace of Mountain Rock life force. After feeding it to the Magnetic Sword, it could increase the hardness of the body and also better resist the heavenly lightning.
Magnetic type mechanical soul pets had strong resistance and absorption towards lightning.
But there was a limit.
If it exceeded this limit, the lightning would be too strong and would destroy the internal structure of the mechanical soul pet.
This would cause the soul pet to be paralyzed and malfunctioned.
Not to mention a mechanical soul pet, even lightning-type soul pets had a limit on the natural lightning.
Once it exceeded the limit, even lightning type soul pets would be heavily injured.
Consuming this soul stone for a long time would increase its resistance to heavenly lightning.
In the future, when facing stronger heavenly lightning, it would be more secure.
“The lightning produced by a Level 4 Thunderstorm should be the least powerful… This is an excellent opportunity.”
Here was his chance.
Next, it was time to choose a place.
According to the location where the thunderstorm appeared…
w.a.n.g Che naturally had to choose a rather remote place.
For example, the power plant in Skyheart City had a specialized lightning field. When there was a thunderstorm, the lightning-type soul pets inside could cause the lightning to descend.
It was usually used to store electricity or to evolve other lightning-type soul pets.
w.a.n.g Che did not consider the power plant. There were too many people there and it was easy to cause a commotion.
Moreover, if they knew that w.a.n.g Che was also going to cultivate with the Magnetic Sword in the heavenly lightning, the staff would probably reject him severely.
The reason of cultivating the Magnetic Sword was barely pa.s.sable.
‘You’re a student who has yet to awaken your martial soul. Why do you need the heavenly lightning to cultivate?’
Was he tired of living?
It was not impossible if he had awakened a martial soul related to lightning.
But no, the power plant would definitely not agree.
w.a.n.g Che opened the map. The weather was not the entire city.
“Look at the location. There’s a small mountain in the south. It’s empty and uninhabited. The location is perfect.”
There were many forests in the West Peak Continent, and Skyheart City had many mountains. Even the base was built along the mountains.
Therefore, there were many mountains nearby.
w.a.n.g Che simply bought some medicine for recovery, as well as some equipment and clothes.
He first took the maglev train to the southernmost station.
The southern stop happened to be a small scenic spot to ascend the mountain. However, because there would be a thunderstorm on the weather forecast, the small scenic spot was closed early and no tourists were allowed to ascend the mountain.
However, this was only a small scenic spot. It was not a precious scenic area of the country, so the management was not very strict.
w.a.n.g Che climbed over the fence from the foot of the mountain on the side. He changed into a pitch-black hiking suit and carried the green caterpillar in his arms as he climbed the mountain.
It was already noon.
Now, there was no sun in the sky, only dark clouds.
The sky was dark and the storm was about to arrive.
Initially, w.a.n.g Che did not want to bring the green caterpillar.
With the mechanical meteorite armor, as long as it did not take it off, its current size was only 50 to 60 centimeters. The size of a puppy was not considered eye-catching.
However, this cultivation was extra important.
w.a.n.g Che still planned to bring the green caterpillar to broaden its horizons.
As a child, it had to broaden its horizons.
He wanted it to know what it was like to undergo more intense and profound training.
They narrowly avoided a few lazy mountain patrolmen.
The small mountain was not tall, only about 200 to 300 meters. When they walked halfway, dark clouds rolled, violent winds howled, and heavy rain poured!
The pouring rain produced a chaotic, dark murmur in the forest.
This environment was very oppressive and dark.
w.a.n.g Che’s heart was calm.
The green caterpillar stuck its head out of w.a.n.g Che’s arms and looked at the rain.
It did not know what w.a.n.g Che wanted to do and was very curious.
Due to the heavy rain, his vision was dark. However, w.a.n.g Che did not slow down. After an hour, he arrived at the peak.
At the small scenic spot, the peak was very empty. There were only a few pavilion buildings in the distance.
However, no matter how small the scenic spot was, it was still a mountain peak close to 400 meters.
Looking down from above, he could see some of the city scenery of Skyheart City in the distance.
“Black clouds are threatening to crush the city…”
Looking at the distant Skyheart City, w.a.n.g Che sighed.
“Stay in the pavilion here and watch. When it’s over, do as I say.”
w.a.n.g Che placed the green caterpillar in the pavilion and walked to the empty s.p.a.ce far away.
It was not feasible to rely on the Magnetic Sword to attract lightning.
Its mechanical energy was unstable, and it could not control its own magnetic field.
Only by reaching a place as high as possible could it steadily attract the lightning.
Of course, he also needed the help of other tools.
After confirming that there was no one around, w.a.n.g Che inserted six small lightning rods in six locations.
Under the thunderstorm, if one wanted to accurately guide the heavenly lightning, they would need lightning rods.
Through the wire, he connected the six lightning rods and the Magnetic Sword.
The lightning drawn by the lightning rods gathered on the Magnetic Sword.
Using six was to increase the probability of attracting lightning.
Otherwise, with the current Magnetic Sword, it was very difficult to accurately attract the divine lightning.
There would only be a chance if it flew into the air.
w.a.n.g Che could not fly and it was impossible for him to follow the Magnetic Sword into the air. Moreover, flying into the air was too dangerous.
In the cultivation world, if one cultivated this technique, they only needed to set up a Lightning Guiding Array around their body. This way, under the effects of the array formation, the heavenly lightning could accurately descend.
w.a.n.g Che did not have any spirit stones now, so he could not set up the Lightning Guiding Array.
He could only use the tools of this world to set up such an arrangement to accurately guide the lightning down.
Everything was prepared!
