165: Chapter 165 President Jiang is awesome!
Tang Long waited for a moment, replenished his health, then strode forward, quickly stepping into the square hall.
The moment his foot stepped inside, the lightning pattern beneath the Trial Spirit instantly boiled, and countless bolts of lightning swirled out from the pattern, turning in the blink of an eye into a torrential storm composed of lightning.
[Trial begins! Current progress 1%...]
Prompt information appeared along with a progress bar, but the torrential lightning attacks also began to strike Tang Long's body.
It was not just pain; the lightning striking him was simultaneously instilling an ocean of information into his brain.
[Thunder Emperors Eight Scenes Art was created by the Thunder Emperor Martial Venerable in the ancient era.]
[This cultivation method not only raises the application of Thunder Spirit Energy to an unprecedented level but also, with a brand-new philosophy, achieves a rare degree of merging Thunder Spirit Energy with other elemental spirit energies.]
[Due to the evolution of the laws of the environment and the harsh requirements for practitioners, the Heavenly Legacy Divine Dynasty simplified some of the overly tyrannical parts to make it easier for today's martial artists to inherit, deriving a simplified version that can only be cultivated up to the Spirit Map Realm.]
[The deleted content includes: Secret Technique: Thunder Tempering {can acquire Thunder Spirit Body postnatally}, Secret Technique: Eight Parts Thunder Elephant {Formation Technique}, Secret Technique: Thunder Sound Empowerment {Inheritance}, Secret Technique: Eight Scenes {Combat Technique}.]
[Scene One: Thunder Rain Patrols the Sky...]
Tang Long's brain and body were simultaneously suffering intense shocks, while he was also deeply shocked.
It turned out there was nothing fishy about this inheritance; rather, this cultivation method was simply too awesome, and people nowadays basically couldn't cultivate the full version, which is why the beggar version was derived.
The first awesome thing about the original version is that it can cultivate a Thunder Spirit Body postnatally!
This wasn't very difficult in the era of the Thunder Emperor Martial Venerable, because at that time... there were no gods who had mastered the laws of lightning.
Nowadays, the one who controls lightning is the Lord of the Sea and Thunder, Golong, commonly known as the Blue God.
Therefore, most of the Thunder Spirit Energy is concentrated in the Blue God's Divine Domain. The Thunder Spirit Energy scattered in the world is difficult to support the huge consumption of tempering.
There is also the most critical issue: the Blue God has a violent temper, and the power of thunder is equally extremely tyrannical. Unless one is a believer of the Blue God or someone favored by Him, it is difficult to withstand the damage during the tempering process.
Therefore, the success rate of tempering is extremely low in this era, so low that the Thunder Emperors Eight Scenes Art has gradually been forgotten.
Its second awesome point is that it can also be a type of formation, which can be used by four to eight people in concert, with power far greater than a single person.
However, great power also means huge consumption; every user must possess a massive amount of spirit energy.
This is a rarer talent, which has led to this formation gradually being eliminated.
The third point is even more astonishing: its inheritance is completed through the method of Empowerment.
But the conditions are also extremely harsh; the one performing the Empowerment must have cultivated the complete version and passed through the baptism of all the Thunder Emperors Eight Scenes. And to unleash the Thunder Emperors Eight Scenes, one must be at least at the Spirit Map Realm.
Due to the tyrannical nature of the Thunder attribute which is difficult to control, the recipient of the Empowerment needs to withstand immense thunder damage in a short period of time; the slightest carelessness could mean death. If either the giver or the receiver of the Empowerment is unstable, it could lead to the failure of the Empowerment.
Moreover, this cultivation method also has a treasure orb that assists with the inheritance.
With its assistance, the one performing the Empowerment can simultaneously perform Empowerment for up to eight people. It can also be used alone, but one can only comprehend the beggar version.
The most magical and domineering aspect of Empowerment is that it does not rely on written words, using lightning and spirit as the carrier of information. Whether to give the complete version or the beggar version is entirely decided by the one performing the Empowerment.
Those who learn the beggar version have no ability to pass it on; after all, such a dangerous cultivation method could kill someone with the slightest deviation.
And for successors who learn the original version, if they haven't undergone the baptism of the Eight Scenes during the inheritance and formed the imprint of the Eight Scenes in their spirit, they must first master the Eight Scenes themselves to teach others, which would require being at the Spirit Map Realm or above.
There is also a fourth point.
That is the ultimate killing technique of this cultivation method, the true Thunder Emperors Eight Scenes.
What Tang Long started to endure was only the first scene, and it wasn't even the full scene.
Although the health lost each time was not much, only ten to a few dozen points, he couldn't withstand the high frequency, and his health was still dropping rapidly.
You have to know, Level 6 Spirit Astral generally doesn't even have its defense broken by ordinary attacks, and Level 3 Tyrant Body reduces damage by 40%. Under these premises, Tang Long, while continuously using Healing Spell and popping potions, was still struggling very hard to hold on.
If it were someone else, he felt the single-hit damage would be at least five or six hundred; what kind of person could withstand this kind of devastation?
The second scene, Thunder Drums Steaming Clouds, with that huge thunderous sound, shook his whole body until his blood was boiling, his Spirit Astral disintegrated several times, and his spirit almost dissipated.
The third scene, Thunder Beasts Running Wild, where lightning transformed into countless giant beasts stampeding, wanting to sweep everything into flat ground wherever they went; under that huge impact, even his Level 3 Tyrant Body could barely stand firm.
And the fourth scene, World-Fixing Thunder Stakes, seemed to turn him into a stake, with countless lightning bolts smashing down from the air like heavy hammers, lasting for a long time.
Even with Tang Long's defense and recovery power, and the progress bar clearly moving not slowly, he still felt like every second was like a year.
This is only the fourth scene, and his health has already dropped by eight thousand; how can he withstand this?
Is this damn trial really prepared for humans?
Damn it, if even I can't withstand it, then you deserve to have your inheritance cut off!
Tang Long gritted his teeth, then took out the last metal tube on his person and fiercely stabbed it into his shoulder.
This was the Spirit Mutation Potion he got from the Jiang Family last night, and it was the last one.
This damn potion was extremely unstable and didn't necessarily give any specific function, but as long as it provided the Recovery Aura, he would have hope of holding out.
If it didn't... he would have to come back next time.
[You have activated Recovery Aura LV1!]
[The base healing effect of all your own healing-type abilities increases by 1000 points per unit! All friendly targets within 30 meters have their healing or recovery-type {including potions} effects increased by an additional 20%!]
Seeing the black and white intertwined light patterns unfold from beneath his feet, and the health recovery information directly popping up with 1000+, Tang Long immediately shouted and laughed wildly.
"President Jiang is awesome~~!"
Under the Recovery Aura, not only did the Healing Spell's healing amount per tick reach over 1500, but the big red potion's tick per second was also 1200+, and his health immediately soared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just a few seconds later, it recovered by more than half, reaching a healthy state.
A dozen seconds later, although the lightning damage was still terrifying, his health had actually topped off against the wind.
The fifth scene, Thunder Emperor Bell.
The sixth scene, Group Dragons Bury the Sun.
The seventh scene, Thunder Sky Silhouette.
The single-hit damage of these three scenes became very terrifying, and the damage that occasionally broke ten thousand along with the intense pain made Tang Long unable to laugh.
And when it reached the eighth scene, Thunder Bow Guides the Way, the Trial Spirit assumed a posture of drawing a bow, and when all the lightning in the entire thunder pattern gathered toward the bowstring, he, being aimed at, truly felt his scalp tingle.
This arrow was only drawn but not yet released, and hadn't even condensed into a real lightning arrow.
But he had no doubt that under this arrow, he would definitely be killed instantly.
Looking at the progress bar that was about to end, he didn't hesitate to activate his invincibility.
However, that arrow was ultimately not shot out.
After all, this was for inheritance and not for killing; once the point was made, that was enough.
The lightning light on the Trial Spirit quickly extinguished, its eyes seemed to reveal a trace of relief and gratitude, and then it suddenly collapsed and dissipated, turning into a white orb the size of an eyeball.
[Congratulations, you have completed the trial: Thunder Emperors Eight Scenes Art {Full}!]
[You have obtained the inheritance: Thunder Emperors Eight Scenes Art {Huagai Realm}!]
[You have obtained the inheritance treasure: thunder emperor pearl {Bound}!]
[You have completed the trial of the Gate of Heavens Legacy, Legendary Attribute + 3!]
[The Gate of Heavens Legacy will close after you leave.]
