I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 92: Five Elements Resonance

"Roar!"

In the roar, Zhong Cang felt himself transform into a flaming explosive ape, filled with endless fighting spirit.

At the same time his consciousness underwent a transformation, in reality, his body also ignited.

"Boom..."

However, the raging flames did not burn Zhong Cang's physical body, but instead emitted a terrifying aura from his entire being.

This is his innate spell - Fire Consumes All.

Just as the name suggests, this spell converts Zhong Cang's spiritual energy, blood, muscles, and bones into fuel, which then enhances his explosive power in a short period of time.

The more that burns, the more intense the burning becomes, and the stronger the explosive power it brings to Zhong Cang.

Burning spiritual energy doubles his strength, burning blood triples it, and if he were to burn his muscles, bones, and organs, Zhong Cang could temporarily unleash more than ten times his normal strength.

Of course, if he were to truly do so, after reaching this peak, Zhong Cang doesn't know if his enemies would survive, but he himself would definitely be reduced to ashes.

Even if he were to burn his blood, over time, Zhong Cang would be burned to a dried corpse.

There is no retreat, only me undefeated. The Spirit Beast possessing this innate spell is truly worthy of its explosive ape name.

Unfortunately, Zhong Cang can only observe this ability and has no intention of using it until the final moment.

...

"Buzz..."

After the transformation of his heart, the awakening of Fire Consumes All was successful. At this point, all five of Zhong Cang's organs have been infused with the Spirit Beast's aura, and he himself possesses five innate spells.

These five spells are:

Gold: Sprouting Soldiers from Beans.

Wood: Grasping the Five Thunders.

Water: Call the Wind, Summon the Rain.

Fire: Fire Consumes All.

Earth: Gravity Technique.

In addition to the spells, Zhong Cang's five organs have also undergone a transformation. Combined with the Master-level Qi Consumption Technique's attribute, Chest Containing Five Qi, each of his five organs can store half of his mana in the dantian.

Although these five types of mana belong to the five elements and cannot be converted into each other, this is not entirely a bad thing. The five elemental auras in his organs are of the same origin as the five spells. If he were to release the corresponding spell using the aura in his organs, not only would the spell's consumption decrease, but its power would also slightly increase.

And the benefits of having all five elements for Zhong Cang do not stop there.

"Roar!!!"

When the ape's aura returned and all five organs possessed the five elements, the five Spirit Beast auras within Zhong Cang's body roared together.

This roar caused a resonance in Zhong Cang's five organs.

The intense resonance strengthened Zhong Cang's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, as well as his muscles, bones, and blood throughout his entire body.

"Buzz!!!"

"Inhale..."

The intense resonance continuously strengthened Zhong Cang's physical body.

Meanwhile, the misty spiritual energy in the secret room transformed into energy, nourishing Zhong Cang's body and allowing this resonance to continue.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

In this way, Zhong Cang's physical cultivation soared layer by layer within the resonance.

Mid-stage of Qi Refining Sixth Layer, Late-stage of Qi Refining Sixth Layer, Perfection of Qi Refining Sixth Layer, Qi Refining Seventh Layer...

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz... Puff..."

In the end, there was an extremely intense resonance, which lasted for three times.

However, after three consecutive violent tremors, Zhong Cang's body was numb, blood spewed from his mouth, but until the end, his physical strength still did not break through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level.

Instead, he himself collapsed on the ground.

After a while, Zhong Cang struggled to get up and shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I never expected that one day I would encounter troubles that only the scions of prestigious families, no, I should say, the scions of wealthy families, would worry about."

Yes, Zhong Cang's current situation can only be experienced by the scions of wealthy families. He has used too many treasures, causing his foundation to become unstable.

Even, it can be said that most of Zhong Cang's physical cultivation is built upon spiritual objects.

From the breakthrough of the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level, Zhong Cang used the Five-Colored Lotus Seed. Although this thing mainly increases spiritual cultivation, its quality is very high, and it has also advanced Zhong Cang's physical strength.

Next was the Essence of Earth, although this treasure did not allow Zhong Cang to advance, it allowed his physical cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Refining to reach perfection in a short time.

Then came the Hundred-Year Tiger Spirit Wine, which allowed Zhong Cang's physical cultivation to break through from the perfect fifth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level.

Finally, there was the Flame Heart Potion, which raised Zhong Cang's physical cultivation from the early stage of the sixth level of Qi Refining to the mid-stage... Actually, something is not right here.

Because of Yan Lingdie's influence, the quality of the Flame Heart Potion is the highest among many items. In theory, if it were taken for the first time, Zhong Cang's cultivation would have advanced directly from the early stage of the sixth level of Qi Refining to the perfect sixth level.

Unfortunately, the previous unstable advancement caused Zhong Cang's foundation to become unstable long ago, and the Flame Heart Potion could only enhance it further due to its high quality.

By this point, although Zhong Cang's body looks majestic, it is actually made up of sand... mud.

Then, the resonance came.

Normally, when the Five Elements reach perfection, Zhong Cang's cultivation would directly ascend a major stage during the resonance.

That is, from the mid-stage of the sixth level of Qi Refining to the mid-stage of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Unfortunately, due to the unstable foundation, Zhong Cang's advancement this time failed.

What Zhong Cang doesn't know is that he was lucky this time. Otherwise, if the foundation was unstable, the backlash from the failed advancement would not have been so low.

A house built of sand and mud is likely to collapse directly.

Hmm... it's not just luck.

Zhong Cang's advancement was so reckless, yet the backlash was so low, which is related to the level of his cultivation technique.

His Five Beasts Infusion Technique is at the mastery level of the third realm.

Normally, this level of proficiency can support and guide Zhong Cang's cultivation (physical strength) from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Being able to see the way forward and having a guiding light is the reason why Zhong Cang's reckless advancement did not result in a significant backlash.

Although his house is built of mud, it is constructed extremely reasonably.

...

By the way, it is also because of his high level of cultivation that he can awaken a spiritual rhyme and gain a talent spell with each awakening.

If it were any other scion of a wealthy family, unless they were an unparalleled genius, it would be impossible for them to comprehend the Five Beasts Infusion Technique to the level of mastery within four to five months.

Without the guidance of the mastery level, if they were as reckless as Zhong Cang, even if they were not affected by the backlash in the end, they would not have awakened a talent spell with just one treasure before.

The most likely outcome would be that their cultivation would advance to the sixth level, but they would not awaken any spells.

In this way, the Five Beasts Infusion Technique would be wasted by them.

There is no way to remedy this kind of situation.

This terrifying consequence is also the reason why many scions of prestigious families dare not easily take treasures to advance their cultivation.

Thinking up to this point, Zhong Cang felt a chill, and he also thought of one thing:

"When Ling Wei gave me the Five-Colored Lotus Seed, she reminded me that she wouldn't recommend me to take it unless it was close to the assessment!"

"...In the future, I must not consecutively take treasures to advance my cultivation!"

"No, it's best to cultivate step by step. Any treasures that advance cultivation should not be taken casually!"
