Chapter 1083: A Waste to Throw Away
"The seventh spirit root!" Qi Xiu was so excited his body was twitching, even ignoring the stinging pain that the birth of the spirit root brought to his body.
Most martial artists' spirit roots are attribute-less, at most differing in quality. Some people with extraordinary gifts have spirit roots with special attributes.
Martial artists who only possess one spirit root are 99% attribute-less, and generally, only those with two spirit roots have these special attribute spirit roots.
The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the most common, and these attribute spirit roots can give martial artists a significant boost.
The metal attribute is fierce and strong, with both offense and defense.
Martial artists with the wood attribute have a faster recovery of mystic qi than those of the same level, and their skin injuries also heal quickly.
The fire attribute is extremely aggressive, with mystic qi attacks that may even carry burning effects.
The earth attribute is thick and solid, not only having strong endurance but also resilience.
The water attribute is gentle and persistent, excelling in prolonged battles.
Outside of these five elements, occasionally some extremely rare spirit root attributes appear, each one incredibly powerful. However, in hundreds of millions, maybe only one or two appear, and once they do, they become targets for all factions to fight over.
A tingling sensation suddenly spread throughout Qi Xiu's body, and arcs of electricity began to appear on his body, visible to the naked eye.
Subsequently, the intensity of the electric current increased, even enveloping him completely, turning him into a glowing blue sphere.
"Holy crap? Spherical lightning?" Zhang Menglong quickly took out his camera to capture this scene. When he returns to Earth, he could make a documentary out of this!
Soon after, the energy began to erupt violently. The thunder and lightning with terrifying energy pulverized everything around, and left burning traces on the ground.
"Oh my, this is totally AKA 100,000 volts, Haotian Power Station, the human Pikachu!"
Zhang Menglong let those electric arcs hit him, and the current strong enough to make an ordinary True Martial Eighth Grade martial artist faint felt like a soothing massage to him.
This thunderstorm persisted for several minutes before Qi Xiu gradually recovered.
His face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
A thunder and lightning attribute spirit root, recognized as the most powerful in terms of attack among all spirit roots!
It not only possesses the powerful offensive capability of the fire attribute but also has incredibly frightening penetration! Armor that can block ordinary weapons and mystic qi attacks can be directly penetrated by thunder and lightning, attacking the enemy straight through.
The paralyzing effect of the lightning can even make opponents lose their combat ability quickly, making such battles extremely unequal.
"Wait, it's not over yet!"
Qi Xiu's joy had not yet subsided when the surrounding temperature began to plummet, and even the water vapor in the air turned into glistening ice crystals.
"An ice attribute spirit root! The eighth one!" Although the ice attribute isn't as monstrous as thunder and lightning, it far surpasses ordinary spirit roots.
Low temperatures can weaken a martial artist's mystic qi mobilization; if powerful enough, it can even solidify the opponent's blood, almost killing invisibly.
"Eight spirit roots! I actually have eight spirit roots!"
On the Haotian Continent, the most extraordinary person in legend only had seven spirit roots. It is said that this person now has surpassed the Heaven-breaking Realm and Mystic-breaking Realm, reaching the peak of the God-breaking three realms; that is the pinnacle of strength!
"My cultivation!!"
Qi Xiu displayed an even more joyful expression.
Apparently due to the energy of the elixir, his cultivation, which had almost been wasted, not only fully recovered but even progressed. Now, he has once again become a True Martial Seventh Grade martial artist!
With his eight spirit roots, he could probably easily defeat a True Martial Eighth Grade martial artist, and the eight spirit roots would accelerate his cultivation speed by many times over. As long as he has enough resources, he's confident he can reach the Heaven-breaking Realm within three years!
"Thank you, Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang's life-saving and fortune-providing kindness today will be remembered by Qi Xiu for life!" Qi Xiu knelt before Zhang Menglong and bowed his head.
He knew that from today onwards, his destiny not only reversed completely but also could reach heights that no one before had ascended.
"Since you call me brother, there's no need for such formalities," Zhang Menglong slightly raised his hand, a surge of Dou Qi lifting him off the ground, "Once we reach your Imperial City, show me a good time and good eats."
Qi Xiu's heart surged with waves of emotion, having tried his best to prevent Zhang Menglong from helping him up, yet Zhang Menglong seemed unimpeded.
Moreover, having multiple spirit roots grants a martial artist a natural dominance over others with only one spirit root, yet he felt no suppressive power against Zhang Menglong, instead feeling an overwhelming pressure himself.
He noticed that even though he now possessed eight spirit roots, Zhang Menglong's expression remained unchanged, as if it was a trivial matter.
The elixir he so casually crafted turned Qi Xiu, who was once a wasted spirit root individual, into an unprecedented super genius. How terrifying could his own gift be?
"Could he have a divine body?" Suddenly, an unrealistic thought popped into Qi Xiu's mind, a concept recorded in their Sacred Gold Dynasty's ancient texts. Though lacking detailed descriptions, this constitution surpasses the likes of spirit roots.
A divine body is unique and passed down through bloodline. The emergence of a new divine body represents the fall of an old one. In fact, around the entire continent, during an era, there might only be a few such existences, all core figures of top forces on the continent.
"Want any more?" Zhang Menglong handed over the remaining two Spirit Pills.
"Brother Zhang, such precious items, I already feel guilty for taking one," Qi Xiu smiled. "Honestly, with such otherworldly effects, even one sold at auction could have numerous dynasties exhausting their wealth fighting over it."
"If you don't want it, fine," Zhang Menglong reached as if to throw it by the roadside.
Qi Xiu was speechless, is this really how prodigal he is? Does he not know these two elixirs are worth more than dozens of dynasties?
"Anyway, it would be a waste to throw it," Zhang Menglong stopped his hand.
"Right!" Zhang Menglong directly activated the Super God Academy, "Wang Cai, Agumon! Time to eat!"
Two creatures appeared out of nowhere beside Zhang Menglong, nearly scaring Qi Xiu senseless.
It's widely known that space storage equipment like storage rings cannot store living things! How many secrets does Zhang Menglong possess?
"Woof woof woof!" Wang Cai enthusiastically licked Zhang Menglong's pant leg.
"Boss, more good stuff?" Agumon licked his lips too, sensing the elixir in Zhang Menglong's hand was top-notch.
Wang Cai, a Level Seven Life Form, would've already broken through to Level Eight Life Form if not for his laziness and constant fooling around with students at the Super God Academy.
And Agumon can now evolve into a Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast, which is a top-level dragon clan at the Peak of Level Eight Life Forms!
"A demon beast?" Qi Xiu stared at Agumon. Typically, only demon beasts above the Heaven-breaking Realm can transform into human shape and speak, yet this demon beast seemed only True Martial Third Grade, and could already talk? What bloodline could this be?
And the other one, why does it look like the guard dog at my residence?
"Take it!"
Zhang Menglong directly tossed two elixirs into their mouths.
"Uh, this..." Qi Xiu's mouth twitched. He... not only uses divine pills to feed demon beasts, but he even uses them to feed a dog?
And yet you have the nerve to talk about waste?
