Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 86 The Optical Stringer

“Level 3 Thunder Runner, the next upgrade only costs 743 points of spiritual energy!” Ji Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

But considering that Thunder Runner is just a high-quality ability, it seems understandable.

 He raised his hand, and lightning flashed on his fingertips.

Snapped!

A bolt of silver lightning flew out and hit ten meters away, and the sound of thunder echoed in the martial arts arena.

"Is it only this far?" After comparison, Ji Xinghuo found that the lightning of the third-level thunderbolt can only hit about ten meters, which is only five meters longer than the first-level lightning. Its power plummets beyond ten meters, and the lightning is almost direct. It dissipates and doesn’t have much lethality anymore.

On the other hand, the power of lightning, as can be seen from the diameter and brightness of the lightning, has obviously increased a lot!

To release lightning once, you now only need at least 1 star power, and you can invest up to 30 star power, which triples the power, but also requires a longer charging time, close to two seconds.

“The difference between level one and level three should be more than just increased lethality.”

Ji Xinghuo studied it carefully.

He released the lightning hand again and again, and soon found the difference. He seemed to be able to slightly control the direction of the lightning through gestures!

 “I seem to understand.”

Ji Xinghuo's eyes lit up and he looked at his palm.

Then he stared straight ahead, his fingertips lit up, and the sizzling sound of electricity lasted for about a second. He stretched forward, and a thick bolt of lightning shot out. The zigzag lightning suddenly turned after hitting five or six meters, About a meter to the left.

 “Sure enough!”

Ji Xinghuo was very happy. Previously, when he released lightning, he always pointed it to where to hit. Once the direction of attack was chosen, it could not be changed again.

Although the path of lightning is unpredictable and twisted, it will eventually hit its original target.

 Now, I can actually make the lightning turn.

 In addition to requiring more concentration, the key point for turning lightning seems to be your own gestures, especially the movements of your fingers.

 Lightning is like a silk thread. Through changes in finger movements, the direction of the lightning thread is changed.

 This is difficult!

 The operation must be completed in a very short moment, and the thinking must be fast enough.

However, Ji Xinghuo quickly mastered it, because he has a thousand dexterous hands and is still at level three.

“Unexpectedly, Thousand-Dexterous Hands and Thunder Hands actually have a bonus effect. The combination of the two third-level abilities produced unexpected effects!”

 Ji Xinghuo kept trying.

With the release of lightning, he gradually became proficient in controlling the direction of lightning, but he could only turn at the end of the lightning, and the maximum deflection of two meters was the limit.

 Furthermore, the accuracy of lightning after turning has decreased.

 But he was satisfied.

 After releasing lightning dozens of times, Ji Xinghuo suddenly felt numbness and slight tingling in his wrist, and he quickly stopped.

 Thunderhands should not be released too frequently, otherwise the tendons will be overloaded and they may injure their arms.

 Most of the star power was also consumed.

Ji Xinghuo stimulated the rotating magnetic field, and the tingling pain on the wrist immediately subsided. He raised his hand again, and electric currents all over his body converged on his fingertips. They were bright and dazzling, thunderous, and finally exploded out. A silver lightning thicker than his arm crossed the martial arts field and instantly hit the wall opposite.

　　Boom!

 The whole martial arts arena trembled.

There was a scorched black spot on the cement wall, and a half-meter-deep hole appeared in the center. Debris spattered more than ten meters away, leaving a mess on the ground.

"Well…"

This power even stunned Ji Xinghuo himself.

"What's going on, Xinghuo?" Ren Mian's figure appeared at the door of the martial arts arena, followed closely by Chi Zhonglin and Jiangnan Caiyi.

Ji Xinghuo looked at his three teammates with an awkward expression, "I was trying out my new power and accidentally overshot."

Ren Mian walked in, looked at the marks on the wall, and said in surprise: "Thunder Hand?"

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

Chi Zhonglin went over and touched the edge of the pit. He felt it was very hot. He asked in disbelief: "Can the thunder hand hit so far and be so powerful?"

He has seen the Thunder Runner many times and has some understanding of this ability, but Ji Xinghuo's Thunder Runner seems a bit outrageous.

If he were hit by this blow, he would probably be seriously injured.

"I have a rotating magnetic field, which has an amplifying effect on the thunder runners." Ji Xinghuo could only explain it this way.

 In fact, he himself was surprised.

The amplification effect of the second-level rotating magnetic field on the third-level Thunder Runner is much stronger than that of the first-level Thunder Runner. The attack distance is close to thirty meters, and the lethality is increased by more than five times. This silver lightning consumes himself. About 80 star power.

However, the preparation time for releasing the lightning is too long, more than three seconds, and the lightning cannot turn.

˜Obviously it cannot be used commonly.

Hearing Ji Xinghuo’s explanation, Chi Zhonglin believed it and said with envy: “You are indeed the strongest professional magnetic field fanatic. If anyone comes to close combat with you, they will be really unlucky and will definitely be electrocuted!”

“It’s even worse to fight with Lord Xinghuo from a distance.” Jiangnan Caiyi said quietly.

Chi Zhonglin thought of Ji Xinghuo's bow and arrow shooting skills and was speechless. After a long while, he sighed: "Fortunately you are my teammate."

Ren Mian’s eyes were also full of surprise. She kept looking at the marks on the wall and seemed to still have doubts, but in the end she didn't ask any more questions.

Ji Xinghuo changed the subject and asked: "Sister Ren, has your psychic fusion been successful?"

"certainly."

Ren Mian smiled slightly, and a faint white light lit up on his fingertips, giving people a pure and flawless feeling. The light stably formed a light cluster, like a small light bulb. While the three of them were watching curiously, she stretched out her fingertips and tapped it gently. The brightness of the light group instantly increased and turned into a beam of light, shining straight on the wall.

 The light flashed away.

　　咻!

There was a crater in the cement wall. It was much smaller than the crater struck by Ji Xinghuo's lightning. It was only two or three centimeters in diameter. There was no explosion and no violent noise.

 However, Ji Xinghuo's eyes were straightened.

 “Fuck!”

Chi Zhonglin was startled. He stood by the wall. Ren Mian's beam hit the spot only two or three meters away from him. He was so frightened that he quickly moved away.

 Then he stepped forward to take a look out of curiosity, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

 The one-meter-thick cement wall was directly penetrated by the beam!

The martial arts arena was built underground, with soil behind the wall. The edges of the small holes left by the beams were glazed, as if they had been burned by terrible high temperatures, and the soil behind the wall could be seen directly.

 “Optical Stringer!”

“Sister Ren is an optical stringer now?”

Ji Xinghuo looked at Ren Mian as if he was sizing up a rare treasure.

 Psychic stringers have many branches. In addition to the most important core "psionic power", they also need a "tuning ability" to determine the form of energy they control.

For example, the tuning ability of a thermodynamic stringer is generally "burning" or "freezing". Combined with psionic power, it can master the energy and its application of the thermodynamics branch.

 The sonic stringer's tuning ability is related to vibration, and the mechanical wave energy he masters usually manifests its effects in the form of sound.

Those who wield optical strings control the energy of light!

This is an extremely rare branch of psionic power, as the tuning power of light is very rare. Ji Xinghuo didn't know which superpower Ren Mian used to combine with spiritual power to master light, but it was foreseeable that her strength would skyrocket to a shocking level.

The energy contained in light is beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

 Beams, light waves, brightness changes, focused heating, light explosions, spectral changes, flashes, optical invisibility, etc. Through psychic energy, many powerful means can be developed, which are both lethal and functional!

The biggest advantage of the Optical Stringer is its attack range and single-point damage. As its spiritual power increases, it becomes like a humanoid laser cannon, which is terrifying.

Ren Mian smiled slightly, maintaining a bit of reserve on her beautiful face.

 “Congratulations, sister!”

Jiangnan Caiyi cheered, she was more happy to see Ren Mian's strength improve than to become stronger herself.

 Chi Zhonglin also looked envious.

"One of you is a magnetic field fanatic, and the other is an optical string expert!" He shook his head, and suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart: "If I don't work hard, I won't be able to keep up with you, and I will be a bit redundant in the future..."

 “I have to work hard too!” Jiangnan Caiyi clenched her fists.

"come on!"

Ren Mian encouraged the two of them, and then said: "Next, I will prepare for the promotion to Super Alien. I will not go out hunting in the short term. You must also seize the time and strive to evolve to Super Alien as soon as possible. If there is any need, You have to tell me."

“I will fuse Bloody Fury tomorrow.” Chi Zhonglin said, “Then I will return to Earth, practice and accumulate star power, and select the matching star gland.”

Jiangnan Caiyi said: "I will also practice more diligently."

"Okay." Ren Mian nodded, "I will stay for an astral month to help you with all my strength. I will leave in a month and will be back in about a year at the earliest, and no more than two years at the latest. During this period you can practice or move around freely, it all depends on your personal plan."

Jiangnan Caiyi's eyes were full of reluctance, "Sister, are you going to be gone for so long?"

"Leaving is for a better reunion." Ren Mian said softly, "Caiyi, you are no longer an eighteen-year-old girl, you have to have your own opinion. You can't follow me forever, one day, you have to learn to leave me , make your own way independently.”

"I am willing to stay with my sister all my life." Jiangnan Caiyi shook her head first, and then nodded heavily, "If this is what my sister expects from me, then I will definitely be able to do it."

Ren Mian smiled happily.

 She glanced at Ji Xinghuo, turned around and walked out of the arena.

The next thirty days or so were the calmest but most fulfilling time Ji Xinghuo spent in the star realm. He was immersed in cultivation every day and his strength steadily increased.

The Grade B blood marrow solution he purchased last time was not used up. Ji Xinghuo went to Wanglongtai and bought another batch from Selina, replenishing it to the amount of one astral month. He drank one bottle every day to improve the effect of his cultivation.

  After upgrading the Thunder Hand, there are still 311 points of spiritual energy left.

After consideration, Ji Xinghuo put all the spiritual energy into ether affinity, reaching (level 3 508/1439). With the addition of level B blood marrow solution, the cultivation effect was outstanding, and he could increase a little star power almost every day.

 The price of a bottle of Grade B blood marrow solution is 50,000 Asian dollars.

 In this astral month, Ji Xinghuo spent more than 1.8 million on cultivation, in exchange for 37 star power points, bringing the total star power to 431 points!

During this period, Chi Zhonglin successfully integrated "Bloody Fury" and returned to Earth after practicing together for more than half a month.

Jiannan Caiyi has bad luck. No one has sold Demon's Soul so far.

 Under Ren Mian's suggestion, she integrated "demonization" and her strength was greatly improved.

On this day, Ji Xinghuo had just returned to the villa after participating in actual combat training at the Jida Martial Arts Hall. Ren Mian suddenly said: "Xinghuo, come to my room."
