Chapter 611: The Fishing Rod’s Tribulation!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After giving it thorough thought, Bei Feng decided to exchange 18,000,000 experience points for an indestructible army!
It might look like a loss, but Bei Feng had his own plans.
After all, he had already increased his cultivation immensely within a short time. It would be best for him to take it slow now.
If he improved again, it would take quite some time for his skills to consolidate.
Furthermore, Bei Feng believed that he would be able to break through soon even if he missed that opportunity.
Since he already had plans to form his own army, he might as well use a potential loyal army to his advantage.
“I would like to choose option two and spend 18,000,000 experience points to form this indestructible army!” Bei Feng said without much hesitation.
“Ding, 12,300 bodies are needed to complete request!” the system stated.
Right. Physical bodies would be necessary to absorb this mental power.
Though Bei Feng was not surprised, he was troubled, not sure where to obtain so many bodies.
“Since it’s about mental power, room for growth would be essential; hence, aged bodies won’t be suitable,” Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he wondered how to find 12,300 bodies.
He knew that an investigation would be conducted by the Tianmu council should ten thousand people go missing for no apparent reason.
Plus, Bei Feng did not have the heart to capture so many innocent people.
Still, there is a certain type of people I find suitable.
After some consideration, Bei Feng had an idea.
Though the majority of Tianmu Planet civilians were cultivators, criminals were also everywhere.
Obtaining 12,300 death row criminals would not be a difficult task for Bei Feng.
As long as there was enough money, the problem would be easily solved.
That was because there was no restriction on slave trade, and many people were willing to be sold to noble families just for a chance to succeed in life.
With that solution in mind, Bei Feng was no longer worried, and collected the thick black mist with a single thought.
“System, upgrade!” After completing the steps, Bei Feng muttered the line inside his head.
“Ding! This upgrade will cost 10,000,000 experience points. Are you sure you wish to proceed?”
“Upgrade!” Bei Feng nodded without hesitation.
Thus, Bei Feng lost one-third of his experience points in an instant.
Sitting with his legs crossed, Bei Feng started channeling his blood Qi to wait for the moment of upgrade.
“Boom!”
A bolt of lightning appeared on top of the hill, followed by a little dark cloud. Within a few seconds, the dark cloud grew thousands of times, and covered a hundred square meters of land!
Bolts of lightning ran within the dark clouds, lighting up the sky!
“Boom!”
“Roar!”
“Squeak!”
Like a rainstorm was about to happen, animals in the area started to panic before running out of the area covered by the dark clouds!
“Gu Qi, leave this area.” Bei Feng’s voice echoed throughout the valley.
“Ji, ji!”
Even the gangster rabbit Gu Qi was in fear.
Bei Feng did not expect the commotion brought by this time’s level up to be so big.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine,” Bei Feng consoled Gu Qi as the latter walked away to a safer place.
There was an unusual sense of calm as Bei Feng thought to himself, Amazing, this sight does not lose to the summoning of dragons, right?
Then, a thin layer of dark-colored Qi began to encircle Bei Feng’s body.
Next, the fishing rod came out of Bei Feng’s grasp and floated in the air.
The fishing rod has become so smart now. Is it trying to escape tribulation? Bei Feng thought to himself, not knowing if he should laugh or cry.
However, Bei Feng did not believe that it was going to be too serious. If it was, everyone might as well go back to their homes and hide.
Even a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy would want to avoid it.
“Boom!”
Blinding lights flashed across the sky, causing Bei Feng’s hair to stand up. The electricity in the air had suddenly become unbelievably thick!
Next, a hundred-meter-thick blue lighting struck the golden fishing rod!
It produced a sound so loud it almost made Bei Feng lose his hearing. However, it was not the end, as the lightning bolt began to ascend towards Bei Feng!
The speed was so fast Bei Feng could not avoid it in time!
“Ka-cha!”
The terrifying lightning eventually landed on Bei Feng’s body, tearing the layer of Qi circling Bei Feng apart and sending him flying before he was driven into the ground.
A hole 30 meters deep had also been formed beneath Bei Feng due to the impact of the lightning strike.
Volcanic magma leaked out from the ground, melting the soil instantly upon contact!
Bei Feng flew up from the hole, disheveled and with blood leaking out of his ears and mouth.
Other than that, there were no other injuries. At that point, Bei Feng was terrified as he realized he could do nothing when facing death this time.
Darn it. What has the fishing rod’s tribulation got to do with me? Why strike me?!
“Ah!”
Before Bei Feng could continue cussing, the electric current floating around Bei Feng’s body entered it, causing him to scream in agony.
Actually, the electric current had already changed its state, one half being life Qi and the other half death Qi.
Bei Feng had to experience excruciating pain from the heating up of his body before the electric current entered his body.
Vibrations traveled across Bei Feng’s body as life Qi and death Qi clashed inside it.
This resulting energy caused every single cell to vibrate and renew itself.
Hence, Bei Feng’s cells were able to become stronger during the process.
Also, the vibrations caused the unblocked bloodstreams to shake.
In the process, some stuff clogging the bloodstreams was detached and disappeared.
It took Bei Feng five minutes to open his eyes again and breathe out a gasp of charged air.
“Strike me once more if you dare!” Bei Feng shouted. Though it was more beneficial than harmful, it was still hard for Bei Feng’s heart and liver to take the strike. Therefore, Bei Feng took some time to prepare himself for the second strike.
“Boom!”
Dark clouds rolled in once more before a lightning bolt appeared and struck the fishing rod floating in mid-air!
“Ka-cha!”
The golden fishing rod had no intention of retaliating, just staying in the air to absorb the shock. It then began to darken in color after being struck by the lightning.
After the second lightning strike, the golden fishing rod broke into halves!
“It can’t be. That’s it?”
Bei Feng had initially thought that the fishing rod was extraordinary not to suffer any damage after the first lightning strike, but had been proven wrong after the rod broke in half!
Even the fishing rod broke. Don’t tell me there’s a possibility of failure when upgrading? Bei Feng wondered to himself after witnessing what had taken place.
If upgrading failed, would not it mean his experience points were spent for nothing?
Before Bei Feng could straighten his thoughts, another lightning bolt fell from the sky. Within a second, Bei Feng’s body began to emit green smoke.
Closing his eyes, Bei Feng focused on the events taking place inside his body instead of what was happening outside. This time round, Bei Feng knew how to guide the electric current throughout his body.
Terrifying lightning bolts continued to land on the fishing rod, causing it to break into smaller pieces!
There would be a smaller bolt of lightning striking Bei Feng after every strike on the fishing rod!
Also, the frequency of the lightning strikes became higher as time passed!
Even the power of every strike increased!
Even though Bei Feng and the fishing rod were the only targets of the lightning strikes, land around them was upturned due to the energy deflected from their bodies. In fact, every lightning strike was comparable to a nuclear attack...!
... Or even stronger!
All it took was two lightning strikes to clear the land covering hundreds of li.
Bei Feng could only hope that Gu Qi had gone far enough to escape the impact of the strikes.
Up in the air, the fishing rod had already disappeared, leaving behind just a nail-sized golden fragment.
There was mysterious engravement left on the fragment, suggesting that electric current had traveled in it.
Bei Feng, on the other hand, was busy controlling the current travelling inside his body. The current had allowed his body to become stronger by purifying his blood Qi.
I definitely can unblock my fifth spinal joint!
The thought appeared in his mind out of nowhere. Bei Feng believed it was worth the try.
However, Bei Feng suppressed the temptation as he knew it was not the best time to break through. After all, it was more important to make use of this rare opportunity to upgrade his system.
Compared to unblocking his fifth spinal joint, it was far better to unblock bloodstreams first!
Moreover, the fifth spinal joint could be unblocked anytime in the future, while he only had that one chance to unblock his bloodstreams. Prioritizing what he should prioritize was important!
Initially, Bei Feng’s body only had one-tenth of its bloodstreams unblocked, but in the presence of life Qi and death Qi, another three-tenths of his bloodstreams had started to vibrate!
Three-tenths of his body’s bloodstreams shook continuously as the lightning had stimulated them.
The stuff clogging Bei Feng’s bloodstream had been cleared, so there was a possibility that three-tenths of his bloodstream would be unblocked!
Once three-tenths of his bloodstreams were unblocked, it would mean four-tenths of his body had been unblocked in total!
This would mean a huge transformation!
Bei Feng believed that once three-tenths of his bloodstreams were unblocked, his skills would become so powerful that he could dominate the Thousand Year King realm!
