Zhou Wen grabbed Fang Ruoxi with one hand and raised the Overlord Sword with the other. He was prepared to slash out a sword beam to shatter the lightning that descended from the sky.
However, just as he raised his sword halfway, he suddenly felt his ear heat up. A golden earring appeared on his ear and produced a strange force.
Truth Listener! Zhou Wen was delighted. He knew that Truth Listener had finished hatching and automatically returned to his ear. At the same time, it erupted with a strange force.
This force spread to Zhou Wen's entire body. Even the Overlord Sword in his hand was enveloped by Truth Listener's power. When the lightning struck the Overlord Sword, it didn't produce the terrifying force from before. Instead, it transformed into a strange energy that was transmitted into Zhou Wen's body through the Overlord Sword. It made him feel indescribably comfortable. Not only did the lightning not injure him, but it also seemed to replenish his energy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lightning bolts fell from the sky one after another, striking the Overlord Sword that Zhou Wen was holding.
It's over. Old Zhou is going to be blasted into charcoal! Li Xuan immediately felt his heart turn cold when he saw the lightning glow on Zhou Wen's body so blinding that he couldn't open his eyes.
Anyone would believe that Zhou Wen would be electrocuted to death with such terrifying lightning powers.
However, Zhou Wen didn't feel the pain of being struck by lightning. Instead, he felt his Primordial Energy fill his body. Every bolt of lightning that struck him increased the Primordial Energy in his body. The excess Primordial Energy that his body couldn't contain had already seeped out of his pores.
The nine bolts of lightning landed in an instant. When the lightning dimmed, the spectating students and crowd realized that Zhou Wen was still standing there with his sword raised. He hadn't been blasted into charcoal as they had imagined. Even his clothes weren't damaged at all.
Zhou Wen, who was standing on the lotus leaf, held Fang Ruoxi in one hand and the Overlord Sword in the other. His body emitted a faint golden luster, making the visual effect look perfect. It left many students alarmed.
"Those nine golden bolts of lightning are so terrifying. Why isn't Zhou Wen injured at all?" Zheng Tianlun widened his eyes in disbelief.
By the side, Wei Ge said indifferently, "Aren't you underestimating Zhou Wen too much? How can such lightning injure him?"
Zhou Wen walked on the waves and brought Fang Ruoxi to the shore, but no more lightning descended from the void.
Zhou Wen landed on the shore and just as he put Fang Ruoxi down, he saw two golden beams shoot out from the Buddha statue's eyes as it headed straight for him.
Is it finally coming? Zhou Wen was somewhat excited. He didn't know what the power of Buddha Eye-Opening would bring him.
However, in the next second, Zhou Wen was stunned. The golden light that shot out from the Buddha's Eye didn't shine on him, but on Fang Ruoxi.
Fang Ruoxi's charred hair and skin rapidly healed amidst the golden light. Not only did it heal, but it also became even more crystalline. Her black hair emitted a faint golden luster.
From the looks of it, the Buddha statue chose Fang Ruoxi from the beginning. After all, she was the first person to enter the river. Zhou Wen roughly guessed the reason why the Buddha statue had chosen Fang Ruoxi. He didn't feel jealous. Fang Ruoxi had such an opportunity because she had worked hard to pursue it.
Fang Ruoxi opened her eyes, and even her pupils seemed to suffuse a faint golden luster. It made her entire bearing different from before.
Why am I here? Wasn't I struck by lightning? Fang Ruoxi sat up and looked around in a daze.
"It was Old Zhou who saved you. Furthermore, you were lucky enough to receive the Buddha statue's gaze. However, you have to thank Old Zhou. If he hadn't helped you block the eight bolts of lightning, I'm afraid you wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy that Buddhist affinity," Li Xuan said jealously.
"Thank you, Zhou Wen," Fang Ruoxi stood up and said.
"It's nothing. It's nothing." Zhou Wen shook his head slightly and turned to look at the Buddha statue on the stone wall. He saw that the Buddha statue had already closed its eyes and returned to its normal state.
As for the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the river, all of them withered in an instant. Finally, they fused into the river, leaving not a single lotus leaf behind.
When the onlookers saw the Buddha statue lose its divine glow and the river surface return to normal, they knew that they had missed the Buddha Eye-Opening. They couldn't help but regret not jumping into the river to seek a Buddhist affinity like Fang Ruoxi. Otherwise, they might have been the ones to obtain a Buddhist affinity.
A number of people left in disappointment, but there were also many people who looked at Zhou Wen. Apart from asking about the person who had obtained a Buddhist affinity, most of them wanted to know more about Zhou Wen.
Just now, Zhou Wen had blocked eight golden bolts of lightning with a single sword without suffering any damage. He was like a god of war that was somewhat terrifying.
Zhou Wen wasn't in the mood to stay any longer. He told Li Xuan and Huang Ji that he had something on before returning to his dorm.
After returning to his dorm, Zhou Wen eagerly took out his mysterious phone and flipped through Truth Listener's information.
He saw a golden monkey appear on the screen. It didn't look like it had changed much. Its body was still tiny, but the golden fur on its body had turned a dark gold color. It was much more restrained than before. Furthermore, it had four ears after advancing to the Legendary stage. Now, it had six, with three ears on each side. They were distributed in a triangular formation, like flower petals.
Truth Listener's appearance wasn't much different. Zhou Wen directly looked at Truth Listener's stats, hoping to know what power it had used.
Truth Listener: Epic (Evolvable)
Life Providence: Omnipotent Ears
Life Soul: Evil Nullification
Strength: 41
Speed: 41
Constitution: 41
Primordial Energy: 41
Talent Skill: Truth Listener, Indestructible Golden Body, Evil Warding, Nine Extremes
Companion Form: Earring
Zhou Wen saw that Truth Listener's stat growth was within his expectations. There weren't any changes to its skills, but it had an additional Life Soul, Evil Nullification. He reckoned that the ability to convert the power of lightning into Primordial Energy was the effect of the Evil Nullification Life Soul.
However, Zhou Wen could only sense a little of a Companion Beast's Life Soul. He was unable to fully figure it out, nor did he know the exact effects of Evil Nullification.
He summoned Truth Listener and saw a tiny six-eared golden monkey appear in Zhou Wen's palm. Its golden eyes suffused with a golden glow as it looked at Zhou Wen eagerly.
"Summon your Life Soul and let me take a look," Zhou Wen said to Truth Listener.
Truth Listener received Zhou Wen's order, but it didn't summon its Life Soul. It looked like it was scratching its ears and cheeks, as though it didn't know what to do. At the same time, a thought entered Zhou Wen's mind.
I can't do it … I can't do it … Zhou Wen felt that Truth Listener's will seemed to be repeating this sentence.
