Chapter 290: The King of the Naruto World
"Phew… I'm alive again!"
Food turned into chakra, silently nourishing Li Jiexuan's body. After a full day, he finally regained basic mobility.
But…
"Can I really break through this thundercloud?" A trace of confusion flashed through Li Jiexuan's eyes. It sounded easy to say, but just a moment ago, he had nearly died.
"Ding. You actually know what to do, don't you?"
Fight lightning with lightning!
Lightning Cloak: (100/100).
After being tempered by that strand of white lightning, the Lightning Cloak had finally reached perfection, capable of providing a full doubling of strength and speed.
You had to know such a terrifying boost, even in the Eight Gates, was equivalent to opening the Gate of View…
And aside from consuming chakra, the Lightning Cloak caused no damage at all!
"Lightning Cloak!"
Deep blue lightning covered his entire body. Li Jiexuan lightly flicked his finger. Like a god, lightning moved with him, forming a spear of electricity that instantly turned a seabird in the sky into a charred lump.
This was the complete form of the Lightning Cloak offense and defense as one, ninjutsu and taijutsu both greatly enhanced…
Yang Yongxin would be no more than this!
Unfortunately…
"The intensity is still a bit too low."
Though the seabird died, its body was still intact. If it had been the lightning within the thundercloud, even the weakest purple lightning would have reduced it to ashes.
If he wanted to further strengthen the Lightning Cloak…
Li Jiexuan's gaze involuntarily shifted toward the thundercloud crackling with countless bolts. Only the lightning there could temper the Lightning Cloak into something even stronger.
Dangerous though it was, retreat had never existed in Li Jiexuan's life.
"Come on, let me see just how terrifying you really are!" Gritting his teeth, Li Jiexuan charged headfirst into the thundercloud, the Lightning Cloak tightly wrapped around his body.
Crackle!
The moment Li Jiexuan appeared, the purple lightning seemed to receive a signal and gathered, surging toward him all at once.
Gulp…
Li Jiexuan's pupils widened uncontrollably as he swallowed hard. If he had guessed wrong, these bolts would kill him in an instant!
If he ran now, it might still be possible…
"Screw you!"
Li Jiexuan roared in fury, allowing thousands of bolts to strike his body without moving an inch.
Buzz!
The first bolt of purple lightning slammed fiercely into the Lightning Cloak, sending waves of energy outward. But it held firm, steadily blocking and beginning to absorb the lightning.
Then the second bolt struck. The Lightning Cloak burst with brilliant light, and within the deep blue, a trace of purple slowly emerged.
The third, the fourth…
After dozens of bolts struck him, the Lightning Cloak had turned completely purple. The purple lightning that now belonged to Li Jiexuan clashed endlessly with the still-untamed lightning.
A faint smell of burning slowly spread…
Under the clash of these two supreme forces of lightning, the outer layer of Li Jiexuan's skin and flesh were completely scorched, like a piece of wood struck by lightning.
Yet in the midst of this lightning battle, Li Jiexuan's eyes remained bright…
"Use one stamina potion every five minutes."
The system continuously sent potion after potion into Li Jiexuan's body, causing his surface flesh to be burned by lightning again and again, then constantly regenerate…
Time passed second by second. Every second, Li Jiexuan experienced a cycle of agony and rebirth.
Like Prometheus in mythology, having his organs devoured by a giant eagle, only for them to regrow the next day, over and over without end.
For the first time, Li Jiexuan understood what it meant to suffer a fate worse than death…
Countless times, he thought about giving up. But…
"I refuse!"
Li Jiexuan forced his eyes wide open. From the strain, tiny capillaries burst, covering the world before him in a haze of blood.
"I finally made it to the world of Naruto. I absolutely cannot give up!" Li Jiexuan roared hysterically at the sky. "I want to become…"
"The King of the Naruto World!"
