The Five Thunder Spirit was quite clever. Seeing a ship coming, it immediately ran.
However, how could Jun Changxiao let an obtained spirit seed slip away? He immediately ordered disciples to accelerate forward, determined to capture that humanoid creature.
He had the Fire Soul Power and the Evil Spirit, which after multiple refinements had entered the juvenile stage. The fleeing Five Thunder Spirit was obviously larger, possibly having entered the mature stage. If he could fuse with it, his strength would inevitably increase!
“Whoosh!”
The Eternal Warship’s tail fins jetted energy, transforming into flowing light in pursuit.
To obtain this spirit body, Jun Changxiao directly activated maximum flight speed. The first-grade fire stones in the energy tank burned rapidly, making one’s heart ache watching.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The thunder and lightning within the cosmic barrier had greater momentum.
Generally speaking, the probability of a person being struck by lightning in their lifetime was extremely low. But how was it that the Eternal Warship, passing so conspicuously through an environment where thousands of lightning bolts fired simultaneously, never got hit? Because they all rushed toward the Five Thunder Spirit, which was like a lightning rod.
“You’re already surrounded, quickly give up resistance!”
The voice transmitted from the megaphone, echoing within the cosmic barrier. Not only did it make one question whether sound waves could propagate in the cosmos.
“Whoosh!”
The Five Thunder Spirit ran even faster.
The current situation was: it fled frantically ahead, ten thousand lightning bolts chased its rear, and finally the Eternal Warship at the very back. It looked somewhat comical.
“Old Brother.”
Gu Zhaoxi said: “My father said that this kind of spirit body is wisdom nurtured by the cosmos. Unless there’s affinity for inheritance, it’s very difficult to fuse with it.”
He was advising Jun Changxiao to give up, after all, a melon picked by force isn’t sweet.
However.
In Dog Leftover’s view, at least it could quench thirst.
Spirit bodies were ownerless from birth.
Since Jun Changxiao encountered it, no matter how he pursued it, it couldn’t be considered stealing or robbing. Please don’t elevate this to a matter of principles.
The current problem was whether he could catch up and whether he could fuse as one.
From the current view, it was very difficult.
Because this area contained extremely strong lightning system attributes, providing a BUFF enhancement to the Five Thunder Spirit, so the faster it ran, it even outpaced the lightning chasing its rear.
“Chase!”
“Don’t let it escape!”
Jun Changxiao was determined to capture the Five Thunder Spirit. Even if he himself had no affinity to fuse with it, at minimum he could give it to Li Qingyang, who after all had the Thunder Punishment Body and a lightning-type natal contracted beast.
…
One month later.
At the Cangyun System’s cosmic barrier, the Five Thunder Spirit emerged from within.
Though it was difficult to see its features clearly, presumably at this moment it was sticking out its tongue, having run for dozens of days with no rest whatsoever.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Ten thousand lightning bolts chased out.
Having left the barrier region, they quickly weakened and dissipated.
“Whoosh—”
At this time, the Eternal Warship also flew out from the distorted space.
Sitting in the cockpit, Jun Changxiao had bloodshot eyes, his voice hoarse: “Chase it, must chase it!”
“…”
The disciples were speechless.
This past month, the Eternal Warship had been chasing around inside the barrier, always maintaining high-speed flight. The first-grade fire stones consumed were countless. The Sect Master gradually couldn’t withstand the shock, resulting in his current nearly frenzied appearance.
“It stopped!”
Gu Zhaoxi exclaimed: “That guy stopped!”
Outside, the spirit body transformed into lightning finally slowed down, then placed its hands on its knees, bending over in a panting posture while standing in the cosmic starry void.
“Chase!”
Jun Changxiao’s single word came out broken-voiced!
The Eternal Warship continued burning fire stones as it charged forward, quickly stopping near the Five Thunder Spirit.
“Crack!”
The lower hatch opened.
Jun Changxiao with bloodshot eyes flew out. Tremendous True Spirit Power transformed into a large hand grasping forward, roaring: “To catch you, do you know how much energy this Seat consumed!”
Squawk!
His body suddenly stiffened.
Warships of considerable quality appeared out of nowhere, swiftly surrounding both him and the Eternal Warship. The number was at least fifty. On the leading super-large warship floated a flag engraved with a skull.
A pirate crew?
“Keke keke.”
A sinister strange laugh came from the main warship: “To wait for you this fish to take the bait, do you know how long I’ve been waiting?”
Fish?
Take the bait?
Jun Changxiao seemed to understand, thinking inwardly: “Could it be deliberately using the Five Thunder Spirit as bait?”
“Correct.”
The sinister voice responded: “It’s bait!”
Jun Changxiao’s gaze flashed with surprise.
This guy… could actually hear his inner thoughts!
“Crack!”
The main warship’s base opened. A lowering platform slowly descended. A guy wearing mink clothing stood within, back facing the camera, casually raising his hand and snapping his fingers.
“Snap!”
Lights suddenly lit along the platform’s edge, highlighting him brilliantly.
“…”
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.
Such a flashy entrance should be his exclusive prerogative!
“I!”
That person shook off the mink coat, slowly turning his head, revealing half a handsome face, saying arrogantly: “The Cangyun System’s strongest pirate crew captain, Duanmu Hai!”
“Woo—”
A sound like a horn transmitted from the main warship, accompanied by countless voices shouting: “Captain Duanmu, strongest in the cosmos!”
“Captain Duanmu, strongest in the cosmos!”
“Snap!”
Duanmu Hai clapped his hands. Only then did he turn his entire body around. The result made Jun Changxiao unable to help laughing out loud, because that guy had half a masculine face and half a feminine face—completely neither one nor the other.
“You’re mocking me?”
“No no, I have no intention of mocking you.”
“You clearly are mocking me!”
Duanmu Hai roared. Because one face was both male and female, it needed to be described as “glaring with tiger eyes” and “raising willow-leaf eyebrows.”
Jun Changxiao tried hard to make his expression serious, saying: “Gender and appearance are bestowed by parents. We cannot change them, so… I understand you.”
“Pfft!”
Covering his mouth with both hands, he laughed out loud again.
“Kid!”
Duanmu Hai clenched his fists, grinding his teeth: “Your actions have offended me, so you must use your life to make amends!”
Not hard to discover, this guy’s left hand was very rough while his right hand was very delicate. Clearly his body was also male-female divided. This was truly genuine ambiguity—unlike certain countries’ kind which was merely deliberate, vastly different from this type.
Speaking of which.
What face did Jun Changxiao have to mock others?
After fusing with Hua Meigui, his speech tone mixed male and female voices. Didn’t he have any self-awareness?
“Of course.”
Duanmu Hai said coldly: “I’ll make you die slowly, let every drop of blood in your body drain dry and be exhausted. Like this…” His expression became rapturous: “Only then can I resolve the hatred in my heart.”
“You’re a pervert, aren’t you!” Jun Changxiao said.
“You guessed right.”
Duanmu Hai suddenly brought his face close to the camera, glaring with large eyeballs, his expression fierce: “I am a pervert!”
“Whoosh!”
Strange aura howled out, making him appear extremely terrifying.
“Whoosh—”
At the same time, the Five Thunder Spirit that had caught its breath flew behind Duanmu Hai, standing there trembling with its head lowered, giving the feeling of an obedient servant.
“That’s not right.”
Jun Changxiao thought inwardly: “This spirit seed shouldn’t have fused with him.”
“Keke keke!”
Duanmu Hai laughed strangely: “You guessed right again. The garbage spirit seed from the Canghai System has no qualifications to fuse with the brilliant and mighty me!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao raised his thumb, saying: “In terms of pretending to be that thing, I’m not as good as you!”
