Crazy means

Seeing that Long Chen was fine, Tang Waner set her mind at ease and began to slowly pull the rope, letting the kite rise step by step.

When the giant kite rose to over three hundred zhang, it looked like a palm-sized piece of paper from the ground.

Tang Waner's heart tightened; if Long Chen were to fall from this height onto the rocks, even with his powerful Physical Body, he would likely be smashed into a pulp.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, striking Long Chen directly, and a powerful force of thunder surged along the rope.

Tang Waner instantly felt her whole body go numb, her palms losing sensation, and the rope in her hands flew out rapidly, causing her to scream in fright as she hurriedly grabbed the rope again.

At the same time, she was shocked; if she could feel such a powerful force of thunder from this distance, how terrifying must the force of thunder be up there?

"Long Chen, are you okay?" Tang Waner shouted, as she could not see Long Chen on the back of the kite.

"I'm… I'm alright."

At this moment, Long Chen was trembling all over, not out of fear, but because the force of thunder was raging wildly within his body, forcing him to shake as if he had a seizure.

This force of thunder was even more violent; it was only because it was Long Chen—anyone else would have been struck into charcoal.

At the same time, Long Chen felt secretly relieved; fortunately, he had collected the withered bones and dried skin of a Demonic Beast, which were resistant to thunder, allowing them to last for quite some time.

It took Long Chen a quarter of an hour to refine those thunderbolts, and the force of thunder within his body became even more abundant.

"Higher."

As the height of the kite continued to increase, the probability of Long Chen being struck increased; on average, a bolt of thunder would strike Long Chen every incense stick's time.

The terrain here was very special; thunderclouds gathered here and could not disperse, so when the force of thunder accumulated to a certain extent, it would strike down toward the ground.

That was why the mountaintop was bare—it had all been struck by lightning—and now that Long Chen was actively luring it, he could naturally accomplish it with ease.

Below, Tang Waner saw Long Chen get struck several times, his hair standing on end like a hedgehog, but he seemed full of energy and did not appear injured.

Only then did she set her mind at ease, while secretly sighing that Long Chen was a monster and a madman; he could come up with all sorts of crazy ideas, and what was even crazier was that if he could think of it, he could do it.

At the same time, Tang Waner had learned to be smart; when a light appeared above Long Chen's head, it signaled that lightning was about to appear.

As soon as she saw that light appear, she would immediately let go, and once she saw Long Chen get struck, she would grab the rope again, so she wouldn't be attacked by the force of thunder.

Because the natural force of thunder came and went quickly and did not linger, Tang Waner did not have to endure the force of thunder.

Although the force of thunder conducted down had become very weak, it was still a huge burden for Tang Waner's delicate body.

Now that she had mastered the rhythm, she could avoid the lightning strikes, which made things much easier for her.

Up above, Long Chen was continuously absorbing the force of thunder, and he felt that his Physical Body was actually becoming stronger and stronger due to the tempering of the force of thunder.

Every cell became more resilient, and some of the Impurities originally inside his body were actually forced out by the pressure of the force of thunder.

"The force of thunder can actually strengthen the Physical Body?"

Upon this discovery, Long Chen was both surprised and delighted; if that were the case, wouldn't his Physical Body become increasingly formidable?

He had originally intended to use the force of thunder to make his body develop a certain resistance to lightning to deal with future heavenly tribulations, but he hadn't expected such an unexpected harvest.

At the same time, Long Chen discovered that as his blood was strengthened by the force of thunder, the golden color within his blood also began to increase.

This nearly made Long Chen jump up; by pure accident, he had actually discovered a new method to improve his cultivation.

When Long Chen had originally ascended to the tenth heaven of the Blood Condensation Realm, some golden dust had appeared in his blood.

Although this golden dust was very sparse, Long Chen could feel that it contained terrifying energy.

Now, with the aid of the force of thunder, that golden dust was actually beginning to slowly increase.

"I've hit the jackpot."

Long Chen was ecstatic; from now on, he could cultivate even without absorbing the blood essence of a Demonic Beast.

Furthermore, the blood essence of a third-rank Demonic Beast was already useless to Long Chen, as the rate of growth was negligible.

Watching the increase of the golden dust in his blood, Long Chen stood up abruptly and shouted in a very cool manner: "Let the thunder come even…"

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, the giant thunderclouds in the sky condensed in an instant, like a vortex, and dozens of thunderbolts struck directly down at Long Chen.

"Long Chen, be careful!"

Tang Waner was so frightened that her face turned pale; it turned out that, unknowingly, Long Chen's height had already approached the thunderclouds in the sky.

Long Chen's appearance had actually attracted all the surrounding force of thunder, and dozens of thunderbolts were attacking Long Chen simultaneously.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded in the sky; the kite Long Chen was on was instantly shattered into dust, and Tang Waner was also blown away by the terrifying force of thunder.

"Long Chen!"

Tang Waner let out a scream, looking at the sky with a terrified expression; the kite there had been shattered into dust, and a figure was plummeting toward the ground like a meteorite.

Falling from a height of over a thousand zhang and crashing onto hard rocks, Long Chen would surely die; Tang Waner rushed out, intending to rescue him.

Just when Long Chen was over a hundred zhang from the ground, a giant umbrella suddenly appeared in his hands.

As soon as that umbrella appeared, the momentum of Long Chen's fall slowed down instantly, but the huge impact directly tore the giant umbrella apart.

Long Chen's body descended again, and when he was ten zhang from the ground, Long Chen brought out another large umbrella, gaining another moment of relief.

When Long Chen finally landed, it was as if he had fallen from a distance of five or six zhang, and he did not seem to have any serious issues.

Tang Waner was both surprised and delighted; she hadn't expected Long Chen to be so clever, having already prepared a contingency plan.

However, as Long Chen landed on the ground, he let out a muffled groan, clearly having suffered some injuries, and Tang Waner hurriedly ran over to support him.

"Ah!"

As soon as Tang Waner touched Long Chen's body, she was immediately struck by a terrifying force of thunder, and she was sent flying backward.

Only then did she discover in horror that Long Chen's entire body was covered in the force of thunder; his skin, which was almost as black as charcoal, was covered in tiny arcs of light, and it was emitting crackling sounds from time to time.

"This bastard, is he a madman?"

Although Tang Waner didn't fully understand Long Chen's condition, as a monster-level expert, she could sense the violent force of thunder inside Long Chen's body, which was simply terrifying.

She could see that Long Chen was tightly trapping all the force of thunder within his body, refusing to release them no matter how frantically they struggled.

To actually use his own body as a cage to trap that terrifying thunder inside was simply too crazy.

At the same time, she suddenly understood that when Long Chen was struck by dozens of lightning bolts just now, not only did he not resist, but he had intentionally let them enter his body.

Thinking of this, Tang Waner felt her scalp tingle; what kind of monster was Long Chen exactly?

One had to know that the force of thunder in Long Chen's body could strike a Disciple of the Tendon Transformation Realm into dust, yet Long Chen was actually using his body to farm them.

Seeing Long Chen with his eyes tightly closed, lying on the ground motionless, Tang Waner was not worried, because Long Chen's Soul force was frantically suppressing the force of thunder within his body.

Several times, the force of thunder was about to erupt like a volcano, but it was suppressed back by Long Chen, making Tang Waner feel waves of fear.

If he couldn't suppress it and the force of thunder exploded, Long Chen would be blown to pieces without a corpse left; this was simply risking his life.

However, Tang Waner did not dare to go over to help; she couldn't help, and instead, she would affect Long Chen, so she could only watch quietly.

"Madman, madman, absolutely a madman."

Tang Waner looked at Long Chen, whose entire body was scorched black by the force of thunder; while feeling annoyed, she also felt a pang of heartache.

At the same time, thinking of Long Chen's past, she couldn't help but sigh; she couldn't quite understand why Long Chen was cultivating so desperately.

He was already strong enough; with his cultivation at the Blood Condensation Realm, he could challenge those at higher levels and had even defeated Gu Yang, the strongest of the new generation—what else did he want to do?

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and the force of thunder within his body became even more violent, actually injuring him.

"Long Chen, give up."

Tang Waner couldn't bear it; as long as Long Chen released that force of thunder, he would be fine.

Long Chen did not reply, only shaking his head, his eyes still tightly closed; he had finally caught a group of fat pigs, and if he didn't kill them, how could he justify the kite he had painstakingly made?

It was just that there were too many fat pigs this time; he couldn't deal with them one by one like before, and dealing with a large group at once made Long Chen feel extremely strained.

Several times, Long Chen himself wanted to give up, but he was somewhat unwilling; letting the meat that had reached his mouth fly away was definitely not his style.

However, it was impossible for him to refine it all at once because this force of thunder far exceeded his own force of thunder.

A wolf could not eat a dozen wolves at the same time, let alone the fact that those dozen wolves would still bite back.

Long Chen now needed to use his Soul force to suppress this violent thunder; however, he himself was not sure if he could succeed in suppressing so much thunder at the same time.

His powerful Soul force, like a tidal wave, flooded into his body, fully suppressing the thunder, and the two engaged in a fierce struggle within Long Chen's body.

Long Chen's method was indeed crazy, but it was likely that in this world, only Long Chen had the capital for this madness.

A powerful Physical Body and a monstrous Soul concentrated in one person was basically impossible to find in this world; usually, those with powerful Souls had exceptionally weak Physical Bodies, just like Tang Waner.

And those with powerful Physical Bodies had Soul force so low that it was impossible to look at directly, just like Gu Yang; his Soul force could only open a spatial ring and nothing else.

But Long Chen had these conditions, and if he didn't try, he wouldn't be Long Chen; to become stronger, he would do anything—otherwise, how could he investigate his own background? How could he seek justice for himself? How could he take revenge?

"Suppress for me!" Long Chen let out a roar in his heart, and his final bit of Soul force pressed down with the momentum of a thunderbolt.
