Chapter 174: Fifty Lightning Marks and Information

The Na Stones and Fire Beads.

The former was something Mo Yu exchanged for with Lan Yingying in Beast Wilderness City. It is a crucial material for the growth of the Void Flashing Thunder, and Mo Yu paid a hefty price of one bottle of Accompanying Amethyst Source for it, making it extremely valuable. The latter is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, born in the land where the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire was nurtured. It contains terrifying power and is a supreme treasure for body tempering, highly suitable for cultivating the Thunder Armor Body.

Either of these two items would drive even Dou Ling experts crazy, yet Mo Yu took them out with a calm expression.

Though he was being hunted by Mulan Valley, Mo Yu's primary concern was always improving his strength.

The Na Stones could help the Void Flashing Thunder break through to the growth stage, while the Fire Beads could condense lightning marks and enhance physical strength. Now, with no one to disturb him, it was the perfect time to proceed.

With that thought, Mo Yu opened his right hand, and a silver-white lightning, imbued with a strange spatial power, appeared in his palm.

As soon as the Void Flashing Thunder emerged, it behaved like a ravenous beast, surging wildly as if it had opened its jaws wide to devour everything in its path.

Seeing this, Mo Yu smiled slightly and no longer restrained it. He picked up a low-grade Na Stone and tossed it into the Void Flashing Thunder.

As soon as the low-grade Na Stone entered, it was instantly consumed by the silver-white lightning. In the blink of an eye, the Na Stone turned into a pile of dust, while the spatial power contained within was devoured entirely by the Void Flashing Thunder.

After absorbing one low-grade Na Stone, the Void Flashing Thunder's silver light brightened slightly. As if it had tasted something good, the silver lightning surged with even more intensity, greedily desiring the remaining Na Stones.

Seeing this, Mo Yu took out all the Na Stones and tossed them into the Void Flashing Thunder one by one.

As the Na Stones were thrown in, the silver lightning showed no mercy, wrapping around and devouring them. After two hours, all the Na Stones, except for the high-grade one, had been consumed by the Void Flashing Thunder.

After absorbing such a vast amount of spatial power, the Void Flashing Thunder had grown significantly larger. As the lightning surged, the surrounding space seemed to show faint signs of breaking apart.

Now, the Void Flashing Thunder was just one step away from entering the second stage of its growth.

"The deal for these Na Stones was definitely worth it. I bet after devouring this high-grade Na Stone, the Void Flashing Thunder will show its true power," Mo Yu said with a light smile.

Without further delay, Mo Yu threw the highly valuable high-grade Na Stone into the ravenous Void Flashing Thunder.

In an instant, the flashing silver light enveloped the black stone, which was the size of a large basin. As time passed, fine stone fragments continuously fell from the high-grade Na Stone, while the immense spatial power it contained was gradually absorbed by the Void Flashing Thunder.

"As expected of a high-grade Na Stone, it really contains abundant spatial power," Mo Yu muttered as he watched the black stone, which was growing smaller and thinner with each passing moment, being devoured.

Taking advantage of the downtime, Mo Yu decided not to waste any time and shifted his focus to the Fire Beads beside him.

With his recent surge in strength, the thirty lightning marks, though formidable, were gradually falling behind his overall combat power. Now was the perfect opportunity to leverage the power of the Fire Beads and aim to condense fifty lightning marks.

A hundred lightning marks would be equivalent to a ground-tier Dou Technique, and the power of fifty lightning marks would be comparable to an ordinary high-tier profound technique.

By then, his combat strength would see yet another significant boost.

With this in mind, Mo Yu did not hesitate. He had acquired fifteen Fire Beads from the birthplace of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire and promptly took one out to swallow.

As soon as the Fire Bead entered his mouth, a surge of intense heat immediately spread throughout Mo Yu's body, making him feel as if he were inside a furnace. This was the only sensation he had.

After swallowing the Fire Bead, a fiery sensation erupted from his lower abdomen and quickly spread into his meridians. The intense heat caused faint wisps of steam to rise from his meridians.

As the heat flow accelerated, it became increasingly scorching, making Mo Yu involuntarily twitch the corners of his mouth with each circulation.

The Fire Bead, refined from the blood and essence of countless magical beasts by the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, contained incredible power. But the violent beast power within it made the process somewhat painful.

Though the heat caused some discomfort, the effects were significant. As the faint wisps of fiery energy seeped through his meridians and eventually swirled inside his body, Mo Yu could clearly feel a strong force nourishing him from within.

Magical beasts were known for their robust bodies and formidable defenses, and these Fire Beads were formed by the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire after devouring countless magical beasts.

If an ordinary person were to swallow a Fire Bead, they would likely be overwhelmed by the violent beast power within. However, for Mo Yu, the violent beast power was precisely the fuel needed to strengthen his body.

The faint mist of beast energy slowly rose and clung to his meridians, quietly melting into them. After circulating through his body, the energy was finally absorbed into his flesh.

Some of the energy mist also attached itself to his bones and cells. The bones and cells in his body seemed to become more greedy, absorbing the energy mist at an unseen rate.

As this energy was absorbed, Mo Yu could clearly feel a shallow lightning mark gradually forming on his right arm, a testament to the potent effects of the Fire Bead.

Feeling the appearance of a lightning mark on his right arm, Mo Yu's lips curled into a smile. He once again calmed his mind and fully concentrated on controlling the abundant energy within him with the Thunder Armor Body technique.

He gathered the energy and formed a torrent, which circulated throughout his body, continuously enhancing and refining every part of him.

After being nourished by the beast power of the Fire Bead, Mo Yu could clearly sense his body growing stronger. His bones, muscles, and even his internal organs, which required painstaking training to enhance, were gradually becoming more powerful.

Half an hour slowly passed, and a second lightning mark appeared on Mo Yu's right arm. Even so, the Fire Bead's power was only about halfway absorbed.

With the appearance of the second lightning mark, Mo Yu's physical strength was further enhanced, making him exude a terrifying aura like a resting magical beast.

Sensing this powerful aura, the surrounding magical beasts began to look at the cave where Mo Yu resided with awe and reverence.

To these magical beasts, this cave undoubtedly housed a formidable third-tier magical beast rather than a mere human.

Inside the cave, Uncle Snake appeared out of nowhere. He glanced at the Void Flashing Thunder, which was growing increasingly saturated with spatial power, and then looked at Mo Yu's increasingly formidable, beast-like body. He murmured softly to himself.

"What kind of body refinement technique is this little guy practicing? With a mortal body comparable to that of a magical beast, it's on par with some of the top body refinement sects in Central State."

Shaking his head, Uncle Snake quickly formed a series of hand seals, causing a purple-gold light to emerge from his body and cover the entire cave. The light shield had no strong energy fluctuations, but it perfectly concealed the aura emanating from the boy, preventing it from being detected by Mulan Valley.

After completing this, Uncle Snake observed the boy in training for a while. Once he was sure everything was fine, he returned to the beast ring.

With Uncle Snake's departure, the cave returned to silence. Only the crackling sound of the Void Flashing Thunder and Mo Yu's occasional low grunts echoed within...

As the sun slowly rose from the east the next morning, early birds began searching for food, and crystal-clear dewdrops formed on the Demon Fang Grass as all living things started to awaken.

After a night had passed, Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the four new lightning marks on his right arm, a smile curled at the corners of his lips.

In just one night, the violent beast power contained within one Fire Bead had been refined by Mo Yu using the Thunder Armor Body technique, turning into strength for his flesh and blood.

Though his cultivation level hadn't changed, his combat power had undeniably increased.

"There are still fourteen Fire Beads left. It looks like reaching fifty lightning marks will be more than achievable."

After condensing four lightning marks in just one night, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence. At the same time, the Void Flashing Thunder beside him once again caught his attention.

After consuming the high-grade Na Stone, the Void Flashing Thunder now gleamed with brilliant silver light. As the lightning flickered, the surrounding space also seemed to tremble slightly.

Just as Mo Yu was about to reach out and absorb the Void Flashing Thunder back into his body, the silver lightning suddenly flashed and disappeared from his sight.

"Oh?" Mo Yu was taken aback for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his face as he quietly looked to the left not far away.

Sure enough, after a moment, the silver lightning reappeared in that direction.

"It seems it has finally reached the growth stage and can now perform spatial teleportation," Mo Yu thought to himself, having anticipated this outcome.

The Void Flashing Thunder's mastery of spatial power primarily lies in its ability to teleport through space. In his previous life, Mo Yu had to expend immense effort to subdue it, and now, having broken through to the growth stage, it was beginning to show its terrifying potential.

After playing around with the Void Flashing Thunder for a while, Mo Yu finally absorbed it back into his body.

In the next moment, a surge of energy was transmitted back to Mo Yu through the Void Flashing Thunder. After absorbing this power, although his cultivation level didn't advance, his control over spatial power deepened significantly.

Sensing this familiar spatial power, Mo Yu shook his head. Right now, as just a five-star Dou Grandmaster, truly mastering spatial power would require reaching the Dou Saint level, which was still a long way off.

After reflecting on this for a moment, Mo Yu set the matter aside and retrieved another Fire Bead from his storage ring. His current goal was to first refine his Thunder Armor Body technique to fifty lightning marks before anything else.

Without realizing it, time flowed like water, and two months passed by quietly.

Black Beast City was a sizable city located in the western province of the Mulan Empire, not far from the border. It took Mo Yu only three days to reach the city from the cave where he had been in seclusion.

During the two months of seclusion, Mo Yu had consumed six Fire Beads, successfully refining fifty lightning marks. His cultivation had also advanced, breaking through to a six-star Dou Grandmaster by absorbing the power of the Vermilion Bird Flame's seal within his body.

After leaving seclusion, Mo Yu didn't hide away in the deep mountains again. Instead, he came to the border city of Black Beast City to rest and gather information on Mulan Valley's recent activities.

Casually strolling into the city, Mo Yu encountered no obstacles. Perhaps it was because of his purple robe, indicating his status as a Refining Master, that the suspicious guards didn't dare to stop him for questioning.

After entering the city, Mo Yu followed a street for a while before turning into a bustling tavern. The Mulan Empire, known for its fierce spirit, often had such lively establishments, something rarely seen in the Jia Ma Empire.

These taverns were gathering places for all sorts of people, where much of the empire's unofficial news and information circulated.

Entering the tavern, Mo Yu was led to a private room on the second floor by a waiter, where he ordered a few famous dishes.

"Hey, have you heard about Mo Yu's battle with the three young masters?" While Mo Yu was quietly resting, a mysterious voice suddenly rose from a nearby table, catching Mo Yu's attention.

"Psh, are you talking about that kid Mo Yu who defeated the three young masters? That was two months ago," a man dismissively replied to his still-secretive companion.

"Ah, that guy is incredible. At such a young age, he's already accomplished such earth-shattering feats. Who knows what he'll be capable of when he grows up?" The man took a hearty swig of strong wheat liquor, sighing with a mix of envy and admiration. What man doesn't dream of achieving greatness? But for many, those dreams remain just that—dreams.

Hearing the conversation, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile wryly. He hadn't expected that after two months of seclusion, the story would have spread to the other side of the empire.

"I didn't expect to be such a famous person in the Mulan Empire..." Mo Yu chuckled, taking a sip of his wheat wine.

The three young masters might not have been much in his eyes, but in the Mulan Empire, they were undoubtedly top-tier talents, and Mo Yu had taken on all three at once.

After resting for half an hour, Mo Yu finished his meal and was about to leave when another conversation from the adjacent table caused his expression to change slightly.

"I just returned from Shanhe Pass. I heard that Mulan Valley was very unhappy with the Beast Wilderness City Lord for privately releasing Mo Yu. Even the city lord was severely punished. Under pressure from Mulan Valley, the royal family made significant concessions, even sending their only Dou Emperor expert to personally guard Shanhe Pass, just to prevent Mo Yu from escaping the Mulan Empire."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu's expression shifted slightly, and he let out a soft exclamation...
