Thunder Element Control!
How many boys have dreamed of wielding the power of lightning as children?
Li Yu was no exception.
And so, he was very pleased with this ability.
When he recalled the speed and overwhelming attack power unleashed by the Thunder Blade Mantis with its lightning powers, he became even more excited.
But now, what fascinated him even more was the change in his [Elemental Spirit].
As usual, after reaching five rings and mastering a new elemental power, the [Elemental Spirit] had sprouted another pair of wings!
The veins of these wings were silver-purple.
From eight-winged Elemental Spirit, it had transformed into a ten-winged Elemental Spirit.
Furthermore, Li Yu could feel that the external soul bone [Spirit Wings] had also undergone a similar transformation.
From eight wings to ten!
Although the description of the skill "Elemental Storm" hadn't changed, Li Yu had a strong feeling that it had grown stronger, and its flight speed had likely increased as well.
"Let's see what strange creatures or other forms can emerge from [Elemental Cube] now!"
Li Yu now had some experience.
Originally, he thought that after infusing the [Elemental Cube] with any elements, it would always result in the creation of a strange beast. However, after a series of trials, he realized that:
Only when a single element was infused could a strange beast be created.
And not just beasts, but also special entities like the [Tree of Life].
When multiple elements were infused, it would instead turn into a certain form of energy.
For instance, water and fire elements would create "Flame Flowers," water and life elements would create "Tears of Life," and so on...
Another obvious distinction was:
Strange beasts created from single elements formed a special connection with him.
He could even use their abilities without having to "summon" them.
For example, when he used "Gate of Life" on Zhu Zhuqing, he didn't summon the [Tree of Life]; he simply used its power directly.
But for things like the "Water Fire Flower," each time there had to be a "transformation" process.
The two were fundamentally different.
One was "instant," the other had a "cooldown."
Therefore, Li Yu was eager to see what kind of "spirit" would emerge after infusing it with thunder elements.
Without hesitation, he quickly opened his eyes and conjured an [Elemental Cube] with a flick of his hand.
Immediately, the power of thunder elements began to pour into the cube.
Dugu Bo, observing from the side, did not intervene.
He had already seen the [Elemental Cube] before. Although Li Yu hadn't introduced it, he didn't ask any questions. Now, he wasn't surprised by it.
His attention was more focused on the silver-purple soul power that Li Yu was revealing.
"Thunder?"
Dugu Bo murmured softly. "So, you've gained a brand-new elemental power…"
At first, Li Yu and "Xue Qinghe" had both claimed that their martial soul controlled both water and fire elements.
However, after spending so much time with Li Yu and witnessing his capabilities in battle, Dugu Bo, with his keen eyesight, had already formed his own conclusions.
"Water, fire, poison, wood, thunder..."
Dugu Bo was stunned. In just five rings, Li Yu had already mastered five elements!
And among them were the rare poison and thunder elements!
He couldn't imagine what kind of combat power Li Yu would unleash once he fully mastered these elements.
"This Elemental Spirit..."
Dugu Bo thought, "Even the six-winged angels might not surpass this martial soul in terms of power!"
He secretly compared them and concluded with this thought.
"Sizz—"
Just then, a sizzling sound snapped Dugu Bo out of his thoughts.
He looked up and saw that the silver-purple [Elemental Cube] Li Yu had been holding was now no longer visible.
In its place... were countless silver-purple particles!
The particles floated, moving slowly, and began to form a "sky" between Li Yu hands.
This "sky" flashed with lightning arcs, and clouds slowly formed into a vortex.
"What's this..."
Dugu Bo mind briefly pondered this question when suddenly, within the lightning arc vortex, a small figure "fell" from the sky.
The figure was only the size of a palm, but it was humanoid!
It was clad in silver armor, with lightning arcs dancing across it. Its face was obscured, but the most striking feature was its silver-purple hair, which was standing straight up.
"What is this?"
The thought flashed through Dugu Bo mind again.
Li Yu was also staring curiously at the small humanoid figure.
Could [Elemental Cube] really give birth to "people"?
He thought to himself, but he also knew that this "spirit" wasn't truly a "human," it was just "humanoid."
However, when he searched through the records of mountain and sea beasts, he didn't find any mention of a beast like this.
Finally, he helplessly shook his head and softly spoke, "You descended from the thunder, so I shall call you [Thunder Spirit]."
[Thunder Spirit] didn't object. Its body crackled with lightning, as if expressing joy.
"Now, let me see your abilities!"
Li Yu muttered, focusing all his attention on [Thunder Spirit].
The next moment.
[Thunder Spirit] suddenly grew larger, instantly reaching the size of a child.
Then, a flash of silver-purple light appeared in its blurry eyes!
Boom!
Though the moon hung high in the sky, a thunderous crash suddenly echoed!
Dugu Bo looked up in surprise and saw dark clouds had gathered, seemingly out of nowhere.
Crack!
Suddenly, a thick silver-purple lightning arc came crashing down!
"What the—!"
Dugu Bo wasn't afraid of the lightning arc, but the fact that it was aiming straight for his head!
In such a large forest, why was it targeting him?
And that girl had just summoned that unknown spirit—he could tell this was Li Yu doing!
What, targeting the old man? Am I so easy to bully?!
Dugu Bo grumbled inwardly but didn't argue with Li Yu. The lightning arc came down, but he simply blocked it with ease.
"Not bad, it's strong enough to rival an ordinary Spirit Emperor's attack!"
Dugu Bo commented indifferently, though his heart was stirred.
A Spirit Emperor wasn't someone to be taken lightly!
Li Yu observed this and felt some disappointment.
The ability of [Thunder Spirit], called 'Thunder Attraction,' didn't seem to be as powerful as he had hoped.
"Thunder Dash!"
Li Yu whispered, testing [Thunder Spirit]'s second ability.
[Thunder Spirit] was instantly covered in lightning arcs, which intertwined and sparked with a sizzling sound.
An electrical glow surrounded [Thunder Spirit].
Swish!
The next moment, [Thunder Spirit] disappeared from its position.
It reappeared over a hundred meters away!
"What the—!"
Dugu Bo eyes widened in shock, involuntarily cursing.
The speed of this sudden burst was comparable to a Spirit Saint's!
"Mm, 'Thunder Dash' seems pretty good!"
Li Yu judged the effectiveness of the skill based on Dugu Bo reaction.
Dugu Bo first "What the—" was clearly due to his surprise at the lightning strike, while the second was from the speed of [Thunder Spirit]'s burst.
Li Yu was now even more excited to see [Thunder Spirit]'s third ability.
He whispered, "Thunder... Ten Thousand Pounds!"
