Chapter 1688 - 1689: Clouds with a Turn of the Hand, Rain with a Flip of the Palm

I thought staying here for three or four days would be enough, but unexpectedly, it turned into almost half a month.

Qin Yi planned to stay one more day, then leave with the baby.

"Baby, can we leave tomorrow?"

Qin Yi asked while holding the little white cat.

The little white cat hesitated for a moment, then nodded its small head.

Qin Yi knew it was reluctant to part with its family, and patted its little head, "Don’t worry, whenever there’s time, I’ll bring you back here."

The little white cat nodded happily.

"Leaving like this isn’t quite your style."

The Evil Lord’s voice suddenly echoed in Qin Yi’s mind.

Qin Yi replied indifferently, "Are you suggesting that, given my personality, I should pick all the Heavenly Thunder Fruits from this Thunder Attraction Forest?"

"You really underestimate me, Qin Yi. I do love money and treasures, but I would never touch things that belong to my people."

The Evil Lord said irritably, "It seems you’re rather clear about yourself! What I meant was, aren’t you planning to use the power of thunder and lightning here to temper your body and become stronger?"

Qin Yi froze; how did he not think of this?

The baby’s family has exceptional cultivation, and by leveraging their cultivation to temper his body, it would be twice as effective with half the effort.

"Old ghost, you reminded me, and it actually proves useful for once. I’ve decided to stay a few more days."

The Evil Lord grumbled, "I really talk too much! Why did I even mention this?"

The stronger Qin Yi became, the slimmer the chances for the Evil Lord to escape. The day Qin Yi wouldn’t need him anymore would be his end.

Qin Yi held the little white cat and laughed, "Baby, I’ve decided to stay a bit longer at your house."

The little white cat widened its eyes in joy, "Baby, likes it!"

"I knew you would be happy."

Qin Yi, carrying the little white cat, found its parents.

The Thunder Beasts all lived in caves, just like the one where he had awakened earlier.

"Senior, I have a matter to discuss with you."

The baby’s father spoke with a somewhat low voice, "I know, you’re here to say goodbye, right?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "No, I’ve decided to stay a few more days, letting the baby accompany you a bit longer."

The baby’s father charged forward, appearing before Qin Yi, and patted his shoulder with a claw, "Good boy, you show meaning."

Qin Yi winced, his body nearly bent in half, and his shoulder bones almost shattered from the pat.

"Senior, there’s something I’m not sure if I should ask or not?"

"Speak."

"With your cultivation, why don’t you transform into a human form?"

The baby’s father sighed, "You think we don’t want to? Everything has pros and cons. We Thunder Beasts are innately powerful, even surpassing those so-called Divine Beasts. However, no matter how much we cultivate, there seems to be some rule bounded by heavens that restricts us. We can freely change our size, but we cannot transform into human form."

"Maybe, the Transformation Fruit could change that. But such a thing is extremely rare. I once saw one, but it was eaten by a despicable long worm, making me furious."

Qin Yi nodded, understanding the situation.

"Senior, if I’m fortunate enough to encounter a Transformation Fruit, I’ll surely save one for you."

"Good boy, I’ll thank you in advance!"

"It’s nothing. I have another favor to ask of you, Senior."

"Speak, we’re all family, no need for favors. As long as I can do it."

Qin Yi bowed low, "Senior, I wish to use your power of thunder and lightning to temper my body."

"Uh..." The baby’s father froze, "Are you sure?"

Qin Yi nodded heavily, "My physical strength has reached a bottleneck. I need an opportunity to become stronger, and meeting you might be that opportunity."

"Haha... How could I be so impolite then."

The baby’s father said, raising a claw, and a bolt of lightning struck Qin Yi.

With a sizzling sound, Qin Yi’s hair stood up like a broom, his body emitted black smoke, and he flew out, crashing into the mountainside.

Qin Yi groaned as he crawled up, shouting, "Senior, I wasn’t ready yet."

Opening his mouth, a puff of black smoke emerged.

"Ouch, you should have said earlier."

Qin Yi twitched at the corner of his mouth. He suspected the baby’s father did it intentionally, but had no evidence; this guy was quite devious.

Qin Yi’s figure flashed, returning to the original spot.

"Senior, hit me when I’m ready."

"Okay!"

The baby’s father looked excited, thinking Qin Yi might ask for something; it turned out it was just asking for a beating, which was simple, he was more than willing.

Qin Yi stripped down to his underwear, knowing the Phoenix Battle Armor would automatically block some of the force.

Purple Light flowed around, Qin Yi’s skin radiating a purple-gold hue.

"Senior, I’m ready, start!"

"Then be careful."

The baby’s father lifted his claw, sending a bolt of lightning onto Qin Yi, instantly coursing through his body.

Qin Yi grinned in pain, his whole body trembling, yet he bore the attack.

"Senior, the power’s not enough!"

The baby’s father was shocked, "Good boy, your physical strength nearly equals the physique of our Beast Clan."

With that, he raised his claw again, sending another bolt of lightning onto Qin Yi.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

Qin Yi staggered back several steps, his body convulsing.

"Senior, still not enough."

"Boy, are you mocking me?"

Saying this, he lifted a claw, sending a thunderous bolt as thick as an arm into Qin Yi.

Qin Yi, emitting black smoke, flew out like a cannonball, crashing hundreds of meters away.

Qin Yi lay on the ground, twitching like a sheep with epilepsy.

"Are you crazy? You hit him too hard!" reprimanded the baby’s mother.

The baby’s father chuckled sheepishly, "This kid’s physical strength surpasses my expectations."

Qin Yi twitched for several moments before regaining control, struggling to stand up, his figure flashed back to the original spot.

"Senior, continue!"

"More?"

"Where’s this going? The power just now is still not enough... Also, Senior, you..."

Before Qin Yi finished speaking, he was struck by a bolt of lightning, flying out black smoke again.

This time, Qin Yi lay on the ground for several minutes before recovering.

Returning to the original spot, the baby’s father asked, "Kid, what were you about to say?"

Qin Yi smiled bitterly, "Senior, my meaning was, strike from above, without flipping me out each time."

"Oh, you should’ve said so earlier."

You should’ve given me a chance to speak... Qin Yi sarcastically thought to himself.

"Senior, come on, still not enough power."

"Hey, this boy, my fiery temper."

"Boom!"

A bolt of thunder as thick as a thigh descended from the sky, directly engulfing Qin Yi.

Lightning scattered, the surrounding ground scorched black, cracks spreading.

As the lightning vanished, three tiger heads looked over, only to see Qin Yi half-buried in the ground, his body charred black, emitting black smoke, resembling a gorilla, just barely discernible as a human-like creature, twitching like he had epilepsy.

Qin Yi’s limbs trembled constantly, his heels digging a pit in the ground, not intentionally, but due to his body convulsing uncontrollably.
