Lightning.
As soon as Chu Fengmian stepped through the fourth door, he sensed countless bolts of lightning shooting toward him.
These bolts of lightning were completely different from the flames in the second door. They weren't illusory, they were real.
All of a sudden, countless bolts of lightning shot toward Chu Fengmian.
RUMBLE!
Chu Fengmian's eyes flickered, and he waved his hand, sending out a stream of spiritual power to block the lightning.
However, the lightning seemed endless, and it slammed into Chu Fengmian's spiritual power barrier.
"What exactly is the purpose of this fourth test?"
Chu Fengmian murmured to himself as he looked around.
As of this moment, he could tell that each of the five gates set up by Grand Emperor Rich-Lush had its own purpose and logic.
Rather than calling them tests, they were more like tempering exercises for martial artists.
The first door tested the temperament and wisdom of a martial artist. If one's mind wasn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to pass the first door.
However, if they passed, they would be able to slay their heart-devils ahead of time, which was a huge opportunity for any martial artist.
In other words, they would be able to solve one of the most difficult problems in the Godpower Level, and would be of great help to them in the future.
And the test of the second door was to test a martial artist's ability to deal with illusions.
The test of the third gate was to test a warrior's ability to survive. No matter how strong a warrior was, there would be a day when they would be hunted down endlessly.
The third door was designed to make martial artists experience what it was like to be hunted down. However, Chu Fengmian had godpower, so he wasn't afraid of being hunted down. In fact, he could use the demonlings to practice his sword techniques.
Perhaps not even Grand Emperor Rich-Lush could have guessed that he would pass the test in such a way.
As for the fourth test, it was obvious that he had set up the lightning for a reason.
'It seems … this lightning can temper the body.'
Chu Fengmian sensed the lightning within, but discovered that the power of the lightning wasn't extremely ferocious. Instead, it was as if it had been deliberately suppressed.
Most likely, Grand Emperor Rich-Lush had taken the lightning, and then left it behind after weakening it.
Although it wasn't something that could be ignored, it wasn't impossible to fight it with spiritual power.
Lightning tempering one's body was a method used by some of the almighties in ancient times.
It was said that there were many ancient almighties who, in order to refine their bodies, would wait for a thunderstorm. Then, they would rush directly into the thunderclouds and use the lightning to refine their bodies.
Of course, this kind of action was simply crazy to the extreme. Even if a Saint came, it would be impossible for him to resist the lightning with his physical body. Only those terrifying ancient almighties could do so.
Now, the power of these thunderbolts in front of him was probably less than one percent of the real thunderbolts. However, it was indeed just right for a Wind Controlling Realm martial artist, who could use its power to temper his body.
Understanding this, Chu Fengmian no longer used his spiritual energy to resist. Instead, he used his body to rush out.
Countless bolts of lightning washed over Chu Fengmian's body, causing his flesh to begin to burn.
Numbness filled Chu Fengmian's body.
"Good! These lightning bolts are indeed enough to temper my body! "
Chu Fengmian laughed loudly. He fully activated the Ancient Battle Dragon Blood Essence in his body. The power of the ten drops of Ancient Battle Dragon Blood Essence was squeezed to the extreme and burst out.
The burn scars on his body suddenly looked brand new. The damage caused by the lightning bolts was restored by Chu Fengmian's spiritual energy.
This back and forth was equivalent to Chu Fengmian constantly tempering his body at every moment.
If other martial artists were to come, they would be far from being able to do what Chu Fengmian did. Generally, a martial artist's body would not be able to bear it after five minutes of tempering. They would have to use their strength to resist for a period of time and swallow spiritual herbs to recover before continuing the tempering.
However, Chu Fengmian's recovery ability was abnormal to a frightening extent. As long as he was not dead, he could recover overnight.
Moreover, such a small injury could be recovered in an instant.
After a while, Chu Fengmian felt that when the lightning bolts fell again, there was no longer that numbness.
Chu Fengmian's body had already been tempered. It was many times tougher than before. The thunderbolts that fell were no longer of much significance to Chu Fengmian. They could no longer temper his body.
'It seems I'll have to attract even more lightning!'
Chu Fengmian looked up at the thunderclouds, then blurred into motion and shot toward them.
As soon as Chu Fengmian flew into the air, countless thunderbolts sensed his existence. Countless thunderbolts condensed into a lightning dragon and roared at Chu Fengmian.
'Grand Emperor Rich-Lush used his spiritual power to refine this lightning. It's much gentler than before. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!'
Laughing heartily, Chu Fengmian charged toward the lightning dragon.
Only someone like Grand Emperor Rich-Lush would do such a thing to his successor. Of course, Yang Qi didn't think that Yang Qi would do such a thing to Grand Emperor Rich-Lush.
Not even the geniuses of the seven great sects would receive such treatment.
After all, capturing lightning wasn't an easy task. True lightning was hundreds of times stronger than this, perhaps even thousands of times stronger.
Now that Chu Fengmian saw the lightning, he realized that he had underestimated Grand Emperor Rich-Lush's power.
In fact, Grand Emperor Rich-Lush had been far stronger than the rumors had made him out to be.
"Crackle!"
Countless thunderbolts exploded on Chu Fengmian's body. Layers of thunderbolts washed over his body like an ocean.
Chu Fengmian's body was riddled with thousands of wounds, but thanks to the power of his bloodline, he was able to heal them quickly.
Injuries could be healed, but the pain was unavoidable.
That said, if he had the opportunity to temper his body, then a bit of pain was nothing.
Thanks to the Battle Dragon Incantation, Chu Fengmian's body was far tougher than that of ordinary martial artists.
Thanks to the lightning bolts, Chu Fengmian's body was growing stronger with each passing moment.
Before long, the lightning dragon was no longer able to do anything to Chu Fengmian.
'If I want to get stronger, I'll have to get to the center of the lightning!'
