'Others dare to venture in, relying on lightning avoidance devices and luck... But I rely on my solid body!'
'Since others can withstand the dispersed current... then can I... perhaps try to face one directly?'
'Let's first try the natural thunder of this world and see how it is!'
Once this thought arose, it was like wildfire, impossible to extinguish.
A strong desire and challenge surged in Fang Qingyu's heart.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging Qi Blood, and tried to make his tone sound like an ordinary discussion. He spoke into the communicator, his voice calm:
"What do you think... if I get struck by the thunder here, what would happen?"
The words fell.
Crack!
A thick bolt of lightning conveniently tore through the dense fog not far away, and the ghastly white light instantly illuminated the small camp.
It also illuminated everyone's expressions.
Chu Kuanglan was munching on a biscuit; his body stiffened at the words.
The food in his mouth almost sprayed out, and his eyes widened like copper bells.
Lu Jiuyuan's hand, which was wiping the blade, also stopped.
He looked at Fang Qingyu in shock, as if doubting what he had heard.
Wei Banmeng's cold brows furrowed instantly, her gaze sharp as a knife, tightly locking onto Fang Qingyu, as if trying to find traces of a joke on his face.
And Jiang Wei...
The little girl was originally lowering her head, sipping a lollipop. Upon hearing those words, her actions froze instantly.
She quickly raised her head, her small face covered by an anti-static face towel, revealing only a pair of eyes.
In those clear big eyes, at that moment, was a clear reflection of Fang Qingyu's figure, and a trace of confusion first flashed in the depths of her pupils, quickly replaced by an indescribable complex emotion.
It was a mix of speechless shock, disbelief, ultimately solidifying into bare...
As if looking at a fool!
That gaze seemed to silently shout, "Did your brain get struck by lightning?!"
Fang Qingyu's mouth twitched at Jiang Wei's undisguised "care for the mentally challenged" look, almost unable to maintain the calmness on his face.
"Ahem..."
Chu Kuanglan struggled to swallow the food in his mouth, wiped his face, and tried hard to organize his words, "Fang... God Fang? Are you serious? This joke is not funny at all..."
Lu Jiuyuan also came back to his senses, frowned deeply, and said in a heavy voice, "With your current physical strength, Fang Shen, to resist a thunder that is normally thick... as long as it's not one of those world-destroying giant lightning pillars, theoretically... you won't die."
He paused, his tone exceptionally grave, "But severe injury, even damage to your foundation, is almost inevitable! The destructive energy contained in the thunder and the instantaneous ultra-high temperature are enough to tear the toughest muscles, incinerate the meridians! It's too risky!"
Wei Banmeng's gaze remained tightly locked on Fang Qingyu's face, seemingly confirming he wasn't joking, her cold voice carrying a hint of retort, "Senior Brother Lu is right! But there's another point, the terrifying impact force of a direct lightning strike is enough to shatter internal organs instantly! Moreover, the violent charge it contains will instantly destroy the nervous system, paralyzing the heart! That's the deadliest! Unless..."
Her speech was rapid, her thinking extremely clear.
"Unless you can, at the moment of contact with the thunder, guide most of the current into the ground through some means, like the weapon in your hand! Only take a very small portion of the current and high-temperature burn! Meanwhile, your Qi Blood must be strong and resilient enough to instantly protect your heart and brain core against that paralysis and impact! Even so, you will definitely be injured! But the extent may be controlled within an acceptable range!"
Wei Banmeng's analysis was clear and to the point.
She saw the growing brightness in Fang Qingyu's eyes instead of retreating and felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
After listening to the three's analysis, especially Wei Banmeng's key points about "guiding current" and "protecting the heart," the last trace of concern in Fang Qingyu's heart vanished completely.
He took a deep breath.
Fang Qingyu slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over his companions with various expressions.
"I want to try it!"
"What?!"
"God Fang! You..."
Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan practically cried out in unison, their faces full of shock and dissuasion.
Wei Banmeng even took a step forward, her cold face showing obvious anxiety for the first time, "Qingyu! This isn't a game! It's too dangerous! We haven't found the Source Material tidal yet, we can't..."
"I know it's dangerous." Fang Qingyu interrupted her, his eyes calm and determined, "But I have reasons that I must try. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
If the guess is correct, there's a high probability he won't be harmed.
Moreover... there's no place better suited for trying the power of thunder than here.
It's better than facing the activated authority of the Divine Profession without any preparation later.
Then, Fang Qingyu's gaze turned to Jiang Wei.
The "looking at a fool" expression in the little girl's eyes had disappeared, but her small brows were still slightly furrowed with a hint of worry.
Seeing Fang Qingyu looking over, she was silent for a moment, then gently nodded.
She was very clear that Fang Qingyu wouldn't do meaningless things.
Although she didn't understand,
as long as Fang Qingyu knew what he was doing, why he was doing it, then it was enough to support him.
Wei Banmeng looked at the unwavering determination in Fang Qingyu's eyes, then at Jiang Wei's response, tightened her lips, and after a few seconds, let out a heavy sigh: "...Okay."
"Take off the Thunder Lizard's Reversed Scale from your body. After a lightning strike, I'll promptly put it back on you."
The Thunder Lizard's Reversed Scale.
It was a special Life Ghost material they exchanged for before entering, which could slightly interfere with dispersed charge and reduce the probability of being struck by "Flowing Thunder".
Following orders, Fang Qingyu quickly removed a small, faintly blue-glowing scale-like item from his tactical belt and handed it to Wei Banmeng.
Qi Blood and Observation Method operated at full strength to protect his mind!
The Red Bright Tribulation Fire Scripture was always ready to combat high-temperature burns, Wood Element Force protected his heart and liver! Fire Element Force to counter incineration! Water Element Force... not unlocked yet... don't bother!
Fang Qingyu's thoughts flowed rapidly.
He considered every detail.
Then he stretched his muscles, his whole body's Qi Blood beginning to boil like a furnace, a dark red and bronze glow faintly visible under his skin.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward two paces.
The strong wind whipped the purple fog around him, the clouds above rolled, thunder rolled deeply, as if brewing a greater wrath.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Fang Qingyu looked up, his gaze seeming to penetrate the thick purple clouds, staring directly at the Source Material of the violent thunder.
Then he slowly closed his eyes.
He adjusted his energy to its best state, his spiritual will highly concentrated.
Within ten seconds of Fang Qingyu removing the Reversed Scale!
BOOM!!!
Without any warning!
A flash of stark white lightning, far thicker and more piercing than anything seen before, containing a destructive aura.
Like a Judgment Spear thrown by an angered god.
Instantly tore through the thick purple clouds.
Bearing the awe-inspiring Heavenly Might that silenced the world, made all things tremble.
Unerringly...
Toward the center of the ground, that proudly standing figure!
Struck down directly!!!
The glaring white light instantly swallowed everything...
