1650 Lightning Spirit! (2)

The main question to answer was: if that was a Lightning Spirit, how could it lie so quietly on the deck? It should have been trying to escape by then.

Lightning Spirits were living creatures and wouldn’t passively wait for their demise.

Wang Teng was looking intently at the creature, which resembled a silver-white ball; semi-transparent in appearance, with occasional glimpses of purple within. Overall, it looked… round, flattened, and quite bouncy.

The odd fellow remained still on the deck, seemingly lifeless.

However, the hero used his Real Eye and noticed that the creature possessed life origin. It was very likely alive.

An absurd thought appeared in his mind, Is it playing dead?

He asked curiously, “Instructor, is this really a… Lightning Spirit?”

“It should be.” The instructor touched his chin and pondered. “But, it should be a newborn, so its lightning power is weak.”

“I caught a Lightning Spirit then!” Wang Teng was startled.

“You’re incredibly lucky. Lightning Spirits are legendary creatures, and I’ve never heard of anyone ever catching one in the void torrent belt. Moreover, judging by its appearance, this seems to be a newborn with great potential for cultivation.” Sikong the Second turned to look at Wang Teng, unable to hide his envy, jealousy, and resentment.

It was an extremely rare creature. Even he was tempted.

“Hahaha, I’ve always been lucky.” Wang Teng laughed.

It was tantamount to hitting the jackpot. Sikong the Second’s favor became a bonus instead.

“Darn it! I wouldn’t have competed with you had I known this before. Not only did I lose one favor, but you also ended up getting a precious Lightning Spirit for free,” the instructor lamented with overt frustration, shaking his head. “You know, it’s not easy to fish in the void torrent belt. You need a ship capable of traveling through it and a fishing rod able to resist the forces found here. These are not possessions ordinary people would have. I’ve just let you use them all for nothing. What a huge loss I’ve made!”

“Instructor, the more you say, the happier I feel.” Wang Teng was overjoyed.

Sikong The Second blinked and said, “Kid, why don’t you sell me the Lightning Spirit. I’ll give you a good price.”

“No way. You’re an instructor, and an eternal stage warrior at that. You wouldn’t do something unethical like snatching my Lightning Spirit, right?” The hero looked at the elder warily.

The elder swallowed the words he wanted to say.

If he kept asking for the creature, it would be an open admission of him being unethical.

He couldn’t embarrass himself.

“Oh right, instructor, I won this competition, right?” Wang Teng asked.

Sikong the Second felt another stab in his heart. His heart was aching.

“Instructor, why aren’t you speaking? Does your throat hurt?” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovelEnglish.net

To hell with my throat hurting!

The elder was speechless. He snorted and replied angrily, “Yes, you won. I owe you a favor.”

“Instructor, you truly are a person who keeps promises. I was right about you. I will make every effort possible to promote your virtues when I get to the academy.” Wang Teng showered flattery without reservation, making the senior feel pleased and happy. All his previous frustration faded away.

The young hero suddenly remarked, “Instructor, since I beat you once you can rightfully be called Sikong the Second. Doesn’t this make you happy?”

Splurt!

The instructor didn’t want to speak to him anymore.

“Wang Teng, you’re ruthless. Aren’t you afraid he’ll slap you to death?” Round murmured in Wang Teng’s mind.

“Haha.. I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I felt like giving him a little taste of humble pie after seeing him act so arrogantly before.” The lad chuckled in his heart.

“Be careful, he might give you a hard time once we get to the academy,” the former warned.

“Don’t worry. An eternal stage warrior should have a broader mindset. Don’t judge others based on your own narrow perspective.”

“F**k, am I a narrow-minded person now?” Round Ball cursed.

Wang Teng ignored it and tried to save his Lightning Spirit. He blinked and asked the senior, “Instructor, instructor… is this Lightning Spirit going to die?”

“It won’t die. Didn’t you just use that thunder energy to catch it? Just feed it a bit more.” The elder glanced at the creature and continued, “But you should still subdue it before it recovers. It might escape later.”

“Yes, you’re right!” Wang Teng smiled in secret and nodded fervently. Indeed, Instructor Sikong was soft-hearted.

“Do you know how to subdue it?” asked the elder. “You can ask me if you don’t.”

“Thanks, Instructor. I know.” Wang Teng searched through Nihility’s memories and immediately knew the process.

Actually, it was similar to how he tamed divine flames. Just leaving a spiritual mark on the Lightning spirit and establishing a contract for mutual coexistence was enough.

Of course, there were some differences.

The Lightning Spirit was a living creature so he couldn’t be too brutal about it. It would be a huge loss if he killed it.

Fortunately, the devouring beast’s memories included a method to establish spiritual contracts with such spiritual lifeforms.

The Devouring Nihility Beast’s memory was indeed comprehensive. It even had such obscure knowledge.
