Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 208 - 156: Thunder Drum Celestial Sound Body Transformation Realm!
"Qingzi, you don’t look well. Are you sure you don’t need to visit the medical department?" Old Qiao asked with concern.
"It’s fine, just circulating the cultivation technique a few times will do." Fang Qingyu smiled, his tone calm.
Seeing this, the others didn’t say more.
Fang Qingyu left the leisure area with two heavy alloy briefcases.
This time, Jiang Wei did not follow.
Instead, she looked at Fang Qingyu’s back, unconsciously recalling that unknown number of years ago...
Her uncle’s son let out those heart-wrenching, never-ending screams while training in the Ash Destruction Tribulation Body.
She secretly whispered in her heart, Qingzi should be able to do it.
...
He walked alone to the deepest part of the underground eighth floor, into a training chamber.
The heavy alloy door silently slid shut, isolating everything from the outside world.
The chamber was spacious and well-equipped.
Fang Qingyu first opened the box containing the Thunder Drum Celestial Sound Body materials and quickly prepared the medicinal bath needed for the upgrade as per the formula’s instructions.
In the large specially-made bath tub.
The pale purple medicinal liquid roiled with tiny arcs of lightning, emitting a strange scent mixed with charred grass and wood and thunder.
He placed the invaluable thousand-year Thunderstruck Wood at the bottom of the bath tub.
As the core catalyst.
Removing his clothes, Fang Qingyu’s lean upper body was exposed to the air, with those terrifying dark red and ghostly blue interwoven cracks beneath the skin still clearly visible, like porcelain shattered and forcibly glued together, shocking to the eye.
Fang Qingyu took a deep breath and stepped into the tub.
"Zzzrah——!"
A strong sensation of electric current instantly spread throughout his body, the medicinal power like countless tiny thunder snakes crazily drilling into his pores, stimulating every inch of flesh and bones.
The familiar tingling pain came, but this time, Fang Qingyu did not passively endure it.
His consciousness sank into his mind.
[Profession Advanced Skill: Thunder Drum Celestial Sound Body Lv.3 (0/800)]
He looked at the skill points balance.
points.
points were a reward from capturing that large bug mother, 3 points from killing the binder.
Just enough.
"Upgrade!"
So Fang Qingyu didn’t hesitate at all and directly chose to add points.
Buzz——!
The diagram’s light shone brilliantly, the words [Thunder Drum Celestial Sound Body] instantly leapt to [Thunder Drum Celestial Sound Body Lv.4 (0/1600)]!
Transformation Realm! Thunder Drum Celestial Sound Body’s Great Success!
A thunder power a hundred times more violent than the medicinal bath seemed to be drawn from the heavens above, ignoring the spatial barrier, and poured into Fang Qingyu’s body with a crash!
The medicinal liquid in the bath tub boiled instantly, thunder light erupted, and the core of the thousand-year Thunderstruck Wood burst with purple-gold radiance!
"Ugh!"
Fang Qingyu let out a low growl of pain, his body involuntarily tensed.
The transformation brought by the realm was complete and profound.
The raging thunder no longer merely tempered his skin, muscles, and bones, but also penetrated deep into his organs, cleansing his marrow and bombarding each cell!
Fang Qingyu’s bones emitted a dense crackling sound like popping beans, his muscle fibers frantically restructuring between destruction and rebirth.
The dark red and ghostly blue cracks under his skin were rapidly fading under the scarlet and yang-filled vibrant thunder, like ice and snow illuminated by the blazing sun, their rapid fading visible to the naked eye.
The intense pain persisted.
But accompanying the intense pain was a sense of transformation and indescribable strength!
The Golden Body Attribute, under the tempering of the transformation realm thunder, surged towards a higher peak of limit-breaking!
The meridians within, torn by the ice-fire conflict, were forcibly mended, widened, and reinforced by the life-filled thunder power!
The entire transformation process lasted nearly an hour.
When the thunder light in the bath tub gradually calmed and the medicinal liquid became turbid and dim, Fang Qingyu suddenly opened his eyes, a tiny arc of lightning flashing in the depths of his pupils.
He slowly stood up, water flowing off his more streamlined, slightly jade-like robust body.
Looking down, those ferocious cracks on his chest and abdomen had become faint, leaving only shallow traces, like ancient scars, and the pain from the ice-fire conflict had lessened by more than half.
"The transformation realm Thunder Drum Celestial Sound Body... truly formidable."
Fang Qingyu clenched his fists, sensing the surging and seemingly inexhaustible power within, and the resilience far exceeding before.
These 8 skill points were well-spent!
Not only stabilizing the injuries but also elevating the foundation of the physical body to a new level, laying the groundwork for the risky path ahead.
He looked at the diagram.
[Golden Body: 15→17]
Upon reaching the transformation realm, it increased by 2 points.
It was comparable to the physical enhancement from Breaking Mortality to Micro.
If, at this Martial Artist stage, the Golden Body Attribute’s limit is also 49, then it’s starting to lag behind.
After all, he’s already in the middle-level Martial Artist realm.
Next step is entering the Profound realm.
Next.
It’s time to step into the realm of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!!
It seems that in the upcoming cultivation, I’ll need to pay more attention to Hard Skills.
If I do it, I must do it to the best of my ability!
This has been the unchanging baseline since I started practicing martial arts.
Then, Fang Qingyu’s gaze turned to another alloy box.
Inside were the entry materials for the Ash Destruction Tribulation Body.
Just like the Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Body, they were bought last night and arrived this afternoon.
An egg-sized red Crystal Stone, a small bottle of water, and a sealed medicine pouch.
The materials seem unremarkable...
But they are several times more expensive than the materials needed to advance the Thunder Drum Celestial Sound Body from Great Success to the Transformation Realm.
If it weren’t for Fang Qingyu, where money is trivial compared to Martial Arts Cultivation,
Anyone else would probably feel a bit of heartache.
"Ash Destruction Tribulation, burning the body with Tribulation Fire, tempering the bones with Profound Ice, forging the body with stardust..." Fang Qingyu muttered to himself.
This sounded incredibly domineering and matched very well with his cultivation system.
It’s hard to know how much more good stuff Jiang Wei, that little girl, has in her hands.
Fang Qingyu took a deep breath and began preparing according to the instructions on the paper.
Unlike the medicinal bath for the Thunder Drum Celestial Sound Body,
the entry for the Ash Destruction Tribulation Body was quite simple.
He just needed to place these three materials on his body in sequence.
Standing naked in the center of the chamber.
Fang Qingyu first carefully poured the small bottle of water onto the designated spots on the paper.
The instant the water touched his skin,
a chill beyond pain erupted instantly!
The skin lost all sensation instantly, muscles turned as stiff as iron, blood seemed to start freezing, even thoughts slowed.
But he could still endure it!
Then, Fang Qingyu forcefully pressed the Earth Core Melting Fire Crystal onto his Dantian Qi Sea!
"Boom——!!!"
It was as if a red-hot branding iron was thrown into a frozen oil drum!
An unimaginably violent destructive force exploded from the Dantian, surging wildly into every limb and joint!
The meridians, flesh, and bones, just frozen by water, now felt as if they were thrown into a boiling lava hell!
The clash between ice and fire roared and erupted within every cell of Fang Qingyu!
"Aaaah——!!!"
This time, the scream of pain could no longer be suppressed.
Fang Qingyu’s body trembled violently.
But he still endured it, quickly grabbing the medicine pouch, and without hesitation, poured it onto his chest.
Buzz——!
The black sand spilled from the medicine pouch. Upon contact with the flesh, instead of bringing new pain, it burst into a strange and resilient gentle starlight!
The tiny starlight, like the most precise woven net, instantly merged into Fang Qingyu’s body.
A miracle happened!
The two energies that were previously as incompatible as water and fire, instantly calmed down.
Even the pain began to diminish significantly.
Along with it.
Was a comfort slowly born from pain.
At the same time, a new line of notification popped up on the chart.
[The chart has detected that the advanced skill ’Ash Destruction Tribulation Body’ is activating (1/100)]
Musashi’s Spiritual Core Talent also began to take effect at this moment.
Although it has no consciousness, in his mind, Fang Qingyu could sense that these energies within were progressing along the most optimized routes of the Cultivation Technique.
An hour later.
Fang Qingyu slowly opened his eyes.
The turmoil within had completely subsided.
The activation progress finally stopped at 50%.
Fang Qingyu clenched his fist and looked at the chart.
The Golden Body was still 17, unchanged.
But he could clearly sense that slight feeling of his physical body getting a bit stronger.
What is the effect after truly getting started!?
After enduring such inhuman torment, Fang Qingyu began to look forward to it.
He took a bath, washing away the mess from his body.
Fang Qingyu changed his clothes.
Picking up his phone, there was a message sent half an hour ago on the screen.
"Captain Lin has woken up."
