Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 626 Breakthrough
Three months later, in the territory world, the fountain of youth.

This legendary building has been renovated by Gongshu Ling, and a hot spring bath has been added on the original foundation. Although it is not yet open to the public, the heroes in the territory can already enjoy it. It is one of the few entertainment projects and employee benefits currently available.

Eternal Youth not only keeps one young forever, but also slows down the decline of essence, energy and even human potential to a certain extent. Its effect is even better than that of the "Anti-aging Pill" and it is a rare treasure that low-level practitioners dream of.

This is true for practitioners and heroes alike. The exhaustion of energy due to age will have an impact on the hero's advancement and greatly increase the probability of failure.

This is not obvious in Xu Yang, because his advancement speed is too fast, and the heroes under his command cannot even reach the stage of old age and weakness, and have to break through with him.

But most lords do not have this capital. It is normal for them to stay at the same level for decades or even hundreds of years. The heroes under their command may even die of old age, not to mention exhaustion of energy.

Therefore, the sales volume of the Fountain of Youth in Wanbao Pavilion is extremely good, bringing in a huge amount of revenue every day. If it were not for the limited production, it would be more than enough to support a second-level territory.

Although there is currently no demand for alleviating energy exhaustion, it does not prevent Xu Yang from distributing it as an employee benefit, and it is deeply loved by everyone, especially a group of female heroes.

However, today, this employee benefit has been temporarily closed and others are not allowed to use it.

In the closed women's bathing area, Hua Mulan, who had removed her armor and was left with only her underwear, sat upright in the spring water with her eyes closed and her eyelids twitching slightly. Her skin was slightly red from the steam and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She seemed a little uneasy.

In front of her, in the spring, a man was sitting in the same posture. His strong body was like a reef holding down the water, reflecting her fragility as a woman. Who else could it be but Xu Yang?

Facts have proved that the method of tempering the body with heavenly thunder is not something that ordinary people can endure.

Although Hua Mulan and Lu Qiling are epic heroes with physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people, they are still unable to withstand the thunder energy brought by Xu Yang. They are simply unable to use this power to break through and complete the leap to their character level or even heroic rank.

But fortunately, this is only temporary. Xu Yang has a way to solve it, which is to proceed step by step, gradually adapt, and finally succeed.

The human body's adaptability is very strong, and the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Method has been revised and improved over several lifetimes, and has become an almost perfect method. As long as there is a gradual process, anyone can practice it successfully.

To this end, Xu Yang started a three-month adaptive training for the two of them, and moved the training location from Taiping Temple to the Fountain of Youth.

The Fountain of Youth itself has certain healing effects, and the spring water can reduce the damage and stimulation of lightning to the human body to a certain extent, which is suitable for "gradual progress" practice.

This was just like when he used electric eels to practice Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering in Dongting Lake, except that the offense and defense had reversed, and he replaced the "electric eel" and used it for the two of them to practice.

Seeing Hua Mulan's eyes closed and her eyelids twitching, Xu Yang smiled and said comfortingly: "Don't be nervous, relax your body, clear your mind, and focus on the Yuan and the One."

After hearing Xu Yang's words, Hua Mulan relaxed a little. She steadied her body in the warm and even boiling spring water, relaxed again, and waited for Xu Yang's thunder energy.

Seeing this, Xu Yang didn't say much, but just mobilized his magic power.

"Clap clap clap!"

Lightning flashed and electric arcs bounced. As Xu Yang added more magic power, a force of thunder emerged from the water, violent, fierce, and hot, like a strong dragon that is hard to tame.

But in Xu Yang's hands, even a strong dragon has to bow its head. The thunder turns into vital energy and disperses in the spring water, tempering her body, warming her flesh and blood, and even penetrating her muscles and bones to reach the depths of her soul, nourishing her true spirit.

He personally helps others to practice. In worlds like the Dao Fa World, the Shen Wu World, and the Blue Star World where the academy system has been established, only the top cultivators of the Wan Dao Academy, such as Feng Ming, can enjoy this kind of treatment.

There is no way. Although Wandao Academy advocates laws and regulations, some levels and status are still unavoidable.

Because this is also a manifestation of legal justice. Top-level monks have fulfilled their responsibilities as top-level monks, so they should naturally receive corresponding treatment. Otherwise, how can we talk about justice?
Of course, in this world, Hua Mulan and Lu Qiling are also qualified to enjoy such treatment. After all, they are the ones who started his career with him, and they have worked hard and made great contributions, so they deserve to be rewarded.

"Clap clap clap!"

The thunder force is immersed in the water and flows into the body.

Mulan's brows were slightly furrowed, showing a hint of pain, but her breathing was relatively steady. Her thin inner garment had been soaked by the spring water, and her figure and skin color were faintly visible in the hazy steam and spring water. Every glimpse was thrilling.

With such beautiful scenery before him, Xu Yang remained calm, his eyes peaceful and unperturbed.

Although a man remains young until he dies, the heart of a true immortal is as solid as a rock. How could he be disturbed and lose his composure by such a small scenery?
Of course, watching too much is also a reason!

This went on for who knows how long...

"Hmm~!"

A low hum came out of his nose.

Mulan's body shook and shone brightly, her muscles became visible, and the lightning energy moved like dragons and snakes, spreading all over her body and every limb.

Xu Yang was not surprised at all, he just quietly increased the supply of mana.

With the increase of magic power and the increase of thunder, Mulan's body slowly emerged from the water in the dazzling light, and finally hung in the air. Her hair was disheveled, and her three thousand strands of black hair were fluttering in the wind, and her whole body was cleansed by thunder.

finally……

"boom!!"

"Pfft!"

With a loud bang, clothes exploded and water splashed everywhere.

A delicate jade body stood in the void, with lightning shining brightly inside and out, like a god descending to the earth.

But soon the thunder stopped and the glow and strange vision disappeared, leaving only a peerless beauty standing in the void. Her closed eyes slowly opened, showing a bit of confusion, a bit of joy, and a bit of panic and fear.

"!!!!!!"

When she met Xu Yang's gaze, she became even more frightened and panicked.

Fortunately, Xu Yang looked calm and did not make anyone feel embarrassed.

Hua Mulan also woke up, hurriedly took out her clothes and changed them, then fell back into the spring.

Xu Yang smiled without saying anything. After the beauty's shyness faded slightly, he spoke to break the charming silence: "How is it?"

Hua Mulan also adjusted herself at this time, and resumed her former heroic demeanor as a female general. She clasped her fists and half-knelt: "Thank you very much for your help, my lord. I have no way to repay you, but to sacrifice my own life... cough cough cough!"

She spoke passionately, trying to hide her shyness, but her movements were too big and she choked on a mouthful of spring water. Her face turned red and she was at a loss.

"Don't be so polite in this place."

Xu Yang shook his head and smiled, then reached out to help her up, which made her face turn redder. Her heroic look suddenly diminished by seven points, revealing shyness and fragility.

"You helped someone complete a spell training!"

"The effect of being a role model is activated!"

"Mulan has mastered a special skill - Tempering the Body with Heavenly Thunder!"

"Mulan has completed an advanced breakthrough!"

"Mulan's character level has been raised to level 2!"

"Mulan's hero rank has been upgraded to Legend!"

"Mulan's physical strength +20, intelligence +30, charm +30, strength +10, strong attack +10, command +10!"

"Mulan's various heroic skills have been comprehensively enhanced!"

"Mulan has mastered the heroic skill - the Heroic Female Guardian!" "Mulan's favorability with you has increased to 1200 points!"

"Mulan's Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Skill and your Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Skill complement each other, forming a combined special skill - Thunder Dual Cultivation!"

"Mulan has activated a special attribute - mana!"

"Mulan's hero level has been raised to level 11!"

"Mulan's hero level has been raised to level 12!"

"Mulan's hero rank has been raised to..."

The series of prompt sounds were dizzying, so Xu Yang simply opened Mulan's attribute panel.

Hero introduction: Joining the army in place of her father, a legendary woman!

……

Mulan's advancement this time is a revolutionary change.

First of all, it was the heroic rank. With the help of Xu Yang, the humanoid electric eel, she made a breakthrough by borrowing the power of thunder to temper her body. She successfully upgraded her heroic rank from epic to legendary, slightly catching up with Xu Yang.

The upgrade of levels and grades, and the transformation from epic to legendary, have obvious benefits.

The first is a large number of attribute improvements, and the second is the overall enhancement of hero skills.

The skill of joining the army in place of one's father could only increase the initial building recruitment number by two times, but after being upgraded to Legend, it increased to five times.

The combat power and morale bonuses of the heroes have also skyrocketed from the original 25% to the current 100%, and the personal guards have a 3-fold effect.

As for the female generals and the newly acquired female guards' skills, the introduction on the panel has been very detailed and there is no need to elaborate on them. To sum it up in two words, they are powerful. Even among legendary heroes, they are well-deservedly powerful.

After all, both his intelligence and charm reached the limit, twenty together equals forty, which is a small step higher than Gongshu Ling and Li Cunxiao.

As for the last new combination stunt, ignoring the ambiguous name and description, its essence is the function of a cultivation pendant. The 200% bonus effect, even if it is limited to the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering, is also very exciting.

The gains from one advancement were so huge that it was worth Xu Yang’s three months of hard work to help her make progress.

"First, go to the side and consolidate your foundation, so that you can experience and master the power of this method."

But this gain alone was obviously not enough to satisfy Xu Yang. He gave Hua Mulan some instructions and then turned his attention to Lu Qiling who was "watching the battle" on the side.

"Qiling, it's your turn!"

"what!?"

Standing on the shore, Lv Qiling looked at the two people in the hot spring pool, who were wet and almost transparent. Thinking back to what had just happened, her face suddenly heated up rapidly, turning red like a boiling kettle. She was at a loss and even terrified: "This..."

Seeing that she was in a worse state than herself, Hua Mulan relaxed and said to Xu Yang, "My Lord, you should take a rest. Excessive loss of vitality may harm your body."

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Yang shook his head, looked at the bewildered Lu Qiling, and said with a smile: "Come!"

The word was light and without much pressure, but it seemed to have magic, calming the bewildered Lu Qiling. She took a stiff step, stepped into the spring, came in front of Xu Yang, then reached out her hand tremblingly to untie the tie of her clothes.

Seeing this, Xu Yang was helpless and immediately stopped her from moving: "You can wear your underwear."

However, Lu Qiling shook her head and blushed as she answered irrelevantly: "I, I really like this blouse. No, I don't want it to get torn!"

As she spoke, she took off her clothes in one go and hurriedly put them into the storage space. Then she gritted her teeth and supported her body so as not to soak in the spring water, showing her body curves to Xu Yang's gaze.

The mist is hazy, the naked body is exposed, and the girl looks shy and delicate. This scene is more than thrilling.

"..."

Seeing this, Xu Yang didn't say much and had to let her sit down with him. Then he activated his magic power and transformed it into thunder energy.

"Clarify your mind, focus on the essence and keep the unity, and follow me to practice!"

"Yes!!!"

Listening to Xu Yang's serious words, Lu Qiling calmed down her chaotic thoughts and immersed herself in the spring water to practice her exercises.

Such and such...

"You helped someone complete a spell training!"

"The effect of being a role model is activated!"

"Lv Qiling has mastered a special skill - Tempering the Body with Heavenly Thunder!"

"Lv Qiling has completed the advanced breakthrough!"

"Lv Qiling's character level has been upgraded to level 2!"

"Lv Qiling's hero rank has been upgraded to Legend!"

"All of Lu Qiling's heroic skills have been enhanced in all aspects!"

"Lv Qiling has mastered the hero's special skill - the fighting spirit of gods and ghosts!"

"Lv Qiling's favorability with you has increased to 1380 points!"

"Lv Qiling's Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Skill and your Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Skill complement each other, forming a combined special skill - Thunder Dual Cultivation!"
