I decided to meet the first lightning under the protection of spiritual power, nevertheless, this is my first sorrow, even if I intend to accept it only with my body, but to feel that such heavenly lightning is better from the beginning undercover, so I surrounded myself with a barrier, but strengthen the body itself did not, after checking, an ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old beast of the spirit is not able to pierce my scales even without the blessing of spiritual power, so I was not particularly worried about this.
At the same time, I expanded my spiritual sense to half strength, it will not cause tension, even during the passage of grief, but it will warn me if someone decides to intervene in my trial. Of course, I was not afraid of the spirit beasts themselves, which could intervene, but this would cause a geometric increase in the strength of lightning strikes, which would be very problematic for me, but not a single spirit beast remained in the territory with a radius of 5 km, except for weak vegetation, which did not even move capable, so I began to wait for the beginning, which did not keep me waiting, and lightning rushed at me, whose power was only twice weaker than the test of Bing'er.
Well, as expected, my potential is far beyond Bing Bing, which means the grief that I will have to accept will be stronger. The first lightning did not break through the barrier, but it was notably cracked and was ready to fall apart from the slightest sneeze on my part, so I removed it while deciding to take the second lightning on my tail, which I use quite often, but I will take stronger blows on other places, for a better effect of strengthening and strengthening the body.
When the second lightning struck, which was 1.5 times larger than the first, I quickly intercepted it with the tip of my tail, after which I felt how small electrical discharges passed through my body, but no other reaction followed, this blow could not even cause pain. but still, I felt that under the energy of heavenly sorrow my meridians expanded and condensed, as did the rest of my body, but the effect was insignificant.
Well, now the blows are weak, I think it's time to try my idea and swallow heavenly sorrow for extreme hardening of internal organs, so, having prepared myself for severe pain, I began to prepare for 3 lightning, at the same time preparing two plans, in one of the fanfictions of my previous life guy squeezed the heavenly lightning into a ball and swallowed it, even if my spiritual strength should be enough to completely hold back the third blow, but I'm not sure that I can seal it without losing most of its energy, so at the same time with this method, I decided to act on simple and easy to expose the open mouth under attack.
Little time was given to me to think, and after a few seconds, the third lightning came, which, albeit with small losses, but I was able to enclose it in a sphere from my spiritual and mental strength, after which I would swallow it without hesitation since I simply could not hold it all that heap of raging energy, after which I immediately felt the consequences of my decision.
-RRRAAAAAAAAAA, - my roar, full of pain, was heard by at least every inhabitant of the central part of the sunset forest, but, even if it was painful until it became darker, I continued to drive the energy of sorrow through my internal organs, which at times strengthened right before our eyes. This hardening went on for several minutes, after which I passed the energy of sorrow through the rest of the body, thereby completely absorbing it, after which I immediately threw myself a double healing portion of honey, which almost immediately returned me to an optimal state and eased the painful sensations. Well, the experiment was successful, but this time we'll get by with one grief, I'm afraid the second stronger blow I will not withstand and will be cut off, so now we will focus on my strengths.
The next 4, 5, and 6 blows I took exclusively on my body, after which I tried to suck in and drive the energy of sorrow through my body as much as possible, however, circling the internal organs. This time the pain was much less and more bearable, nevertheless, I received various wounds quite often and therefore the pain threshold of the outer body was much higher than the norm. At the same time, nothing remained on my scales, except for blackening at the places of impacts, which suited me.
8 and 9 lightning, I decided to take on my front paws, I have first-class protection and strength, but the attack power is lame. Therefore, 8 lightning fell directly on my left paw, while the main energy circulated in the claws, which became a little longer, while strange patterns were added to their appearance that repeated the meridians and was sometimes highlighted with a dull blue light. The ninth zipper repeated almost the same fate and was also fully used to strengthen my right paw, whose claws began to look the same as on the left.
At the same time, after the last lightning, I dragged myself into the source of ice and fire, pouring into myself a new portion of honey and one interesting celestial plant, an ice dragon fruit, whose function is to strengthen the dragon's bloodline and general strengthening of the body, with a bias on the ice. but tribute. In a normal situation, this fruit would not have worked on me, however, after heavenly sorrow, I think such a medicinal plant will be very even, by the way, the body after heavenly sorrow will rapidly strengthen and strengthen, and this fruit is ideal for feeding such a process.
With my last mental strength, I flew back into the valley of ice and fire, then walled up the entrance and collapsed right next to the entrance. Before going to the kingdom of morphine, I scanned myself, which immediately lifted my spirits, because I discovered new information for myself, which is most likely the memory of blood, namely, ways to change my vocal cords for the pronunciation of human speech, well, the way of transformation into a person to whom I did not pay any attention, since this had to be done before heavenly sorrow, and I would not have turned into a person, after which I passed out with relief.
One week later.
Hmm, again I jerkily regain consciousness, but oh well, where did I stop there last time ... the legacy of blood, an interesting thing, but I will deal with it later, now I am more concerned with the technique for pronouncing human speech. Now I have a third of all books, whose meaning I simply cannot understand, but now I am capable of speaking on my own, which opens up the possibility of learning the language to the fullest, it remains to find a couple of dozen "volunteers" who will help me finish learning the language, although .. my newest book is a thousand years old, chances are that some forms of the language have changed, so you have to learn from the beginning, but oh well, the third time will go much faster.
Since I remembered about languages, then it is worth visiting one of the higher clans, which owns the method of making spatial rings and other things storage, I hope for the thousand years that I did not appear in the human world, these clans were not destroyed ... well, or at least there are records of who destroyed them to know who to visit, but before the next extraction of resources and information, it will be necessary to finish learning the spoken language completely, I will remember my youth in the past world and troll cultivators, I remember then I wanted to do it, though later I became calmer and more judicious and the old goals have lost their value, but now I think this will amuse me enough, so why not.
Dachshunds, for a start, the goals will go, after which I can go home with peace of mind, it is already necessary to solve the problem with the protection of the Bing Bing clan, unfortunately, the radical plan will have to be canceled, nevertheless, albeit secretly, but the Snow Empress is the king of the north and the destruction of one of the She will not tolerate the higher clans, and from a position of strength I cannot talk to her yet, nevertheless, 500 thousand years of cultivation is still something, but they mean. Ahh, there will always be someone stronger than me, well, okay. Coming out of the valley and walled up the entrance, I spread my wings and headed for the central part of the continent.
