Qin Wuyan's Villa – Morning
"Professor Qin, I've brought the materials for Indestructible Thunder Body." Lin Ye presented the crystal vial.
Qin Wuyan's mercury-like eye boiled as he stared at the churning purple blood. Ginkgo leaves in the courtyard stirred without wind. Within the sealed container, the Eighth-Tier Rapid Thunder Drake Blood coalesced into a drake's phantom, its狂暴energy pulsing even through the quantum barrier.
"Eighth-Tier drake blood? Are you courting death, brat?" Qin flicked the container's surface, scattering the phantom into lightning. "This thing's energy purity eclipses Sixth-Tier Thunder Rhinoceros Blood tenfold! When I absorbed rhinoceros blood, I bled from seven orifices for nine days!"
Lin Ye unbuttoned his combat suit, revealing a torso interlaced with obsidian-gold thunder patterns. "I have full confidence in my physical resilience. This energy surge won't break me."
"Let's test that resilience." Qin seized his wrist. Lightning speared through Lin Ye's meridians, igniting his body in cascading arcs.
The courtyard's stone table exploded. Qin staggered back three steps, sleeves smoldering. "Impressive! Calling you a humanoid Mutant Beast wouldn't be exaggeration! Now strip and enter the Thunder Pool!"
The basement floor split, unveiling a ten-meter-wide Thunder Pool. Liquid lightning churned around nine bronze talismans, each bound by chain-like arcs. As Lin Ye stepped in, the pool's floor illuminated a 28 Lunar Mansions thunder pattern array.
"This is the Nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Formation," Qin poured the drake blood into the pool. "I barely endured eight revolutions. Complete nine…" A lightning halberd materialized at his fingertip, "and your Indestructible Thunder Body will reach perfection!"
First Revolution
The lightning plasma transformed into countless steel needles piercing his pores. Lin Ye watched his skin crack inch by inch, bones glowing violet under the electric onslaught. The Celestial Vault System flashed crimson alerts:
Cellular Regeneration Rate Exceeds Threshold
Recommend Halting Energy Infusion
"Endure!" Qin Wuyan slammed his lightning halberd into the formation's core, triggering a bronze cauldron to rise from the Thunder Pool. "Focus your consciousness into your dantian! Let the drake blood rebuild your meridians!"
Second Revolution
The pool condensed into eight lightning drakes coiling around his limbs. Lin Ye heard his bones shatter, replaced by thunder-patterned metallic frameworks. Monitoring screens erupted with data:
Bone Density: 35x Normal
Neural Conductivity: Exceeds Detection Limits
Third Revolution
The pool erupted into boiling chaos. Lightning spewed from Lin Ye's orifices, his mind projecting a flaming battlefield where Qin dueled the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor.
"Focus!" Qin roared in reality, driving his halberd deeper. "These are bloodline memory backlash! Suppress them with your Nine Heavens Thunder Prison!"
Fourth Revolution
Lin Ye's consciousness wavered. Visions flickered—two figures adjusting a Thunder Pattern Matrix in a lab, faces blurred. Qin's voice cut through the haze: "Secure your dantian! Ignore all anomalies!"
Fifth Revolution
The pool swirled into a violet vortex. Lightning arced from every hair strand as storm clouds above coalesced into a drake's silhouette. Qin leaped into the formation, hands gripping Lin Ye's shoulders: "Four revolutions left! Hold!"
Sixth Revolution
Lin Ye's pupils electrified fully. He saw electrons dancing at the quantum level, heard thunder elements humming. The bronze talismans at the pool's base ignited one by one, lightning fracturing the sky above the villa.
Seventh Revolution
Blood gushed from Lin Ye's mouth. Muscles and bones shattered and regenerated in endless cycles—agony beyond mortal comprehension. Only titanic willpower kept him conscious.
Eighth Revolution
His surface thunder patterns collapsed into black holes. The villa's energy reserves drained instantly as storm clouds spiraled into a vortex. Qin tore his shirt open, chest patterns resonating with the formation: "Now! Channel Nine Heavens Thunder Prison into your dantian!"
Ninth Revolution
A draconic roar shook the villa—primordial, tyrannical. The sound alone conjured visions of an apex Mutant Beast overlord.
Silence followed. The storm vanished. Lin Ye's dantian erupted with golden runic torrents, the drake blood's fury pacified. When he opened his eyes, the pool ran clear, liquid lightning now flowing through his veins.
"Nine Revolutions… Perfect Foundation…" Qin collapsed, tactical visor shattered. Before him stood Lin Ye, thunder patterns around his body coalescing into the phantom of a Primordial Thunder Deity.
Shadows flickered around the villa—spectators drawn by the cataclysmic energy fluctuations.
"Who's causing this uproar?"
"A disciple of Professor Qin undergoing Foundation Phase?"
"Since when does that madman take disciples?!"
"Whatever's happening, that kid's future's limitless!"
At the pool's center, Lin Ye stood like a lightning-wreathed titan. Crimson eyes burned where clarity once reigned, veins bulging across thunder-forged muscles. The blue-purple lightning around him writhed violently, plunging the chamber into strobing chaos.
"Lin Ye—AWAKEN!" Qin Wuyan's voice boomed like spring thunder, shattering the miasma of bloodlust.
Lin Ye blinked, scarlet fading from his gaze. "Professor… what happened?"
"The drake blood's residual ferality infected you." Qin frowned. "Rapid Thunder Drakes are notoriously savage. Achieving Nine Revolutions forged an unprecedented symbiosis—and side effects."
"But fret not. Emotional control suppresses this. As you grow stronger, these echoes will fade."
"Master." Lin Ye knelt on one knee, sensing the tectonic shift in his power. "Accept your disciple's bow—"
"Not yet!" Qin's energy gently lifted him. "No mentorship until you clinch the Freshman Grand Exam crown!" He turned toward his study, lips betraying a grin. "Rest. You've earned it."
"Ten days?!" While Qin could fast for weeks, Lin Ye—a First-Tier Mid-Class Special Ability Holder—survived purely on drake blood's condensed energy.
