Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Awesome Physique_1

“Xu Fan reached out and grabbed Cui Dong’s arm, saying, ‘Since you’ve taken me as your master…'”

“Holy shit!” he suddenly exclaimed.

“Master, you… don’t do this, I’m not easily frightened.”

Cui Dong was so startled that his face turned pale, and his voice trembled, like a frightened little puppy.

When Xu Fan grabbed his hand, he had intended to infuse a thread of Spiritual Energy to probe his body, to see his aptitude and whether there were any hidden illnesses or the like. But as soon as he sensed it, he made a major discovery.

This shock caused him to lose control of his astonishment and he cried out involuntarily.

Giving Cui Dong another look, with his frightened expression, he didn’t care about his disciple’s feelings and confirmed his finding once more with great care.

Phew!

He probed for quite a while before he finally took a deep breath, his face a mix of shock and joy.

This kid, he really wasn’t boasting; he truly possessed a treasure within, harboring an extremely rare physique—the Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body.

Even within the Cultivation World, such a constitution was one in a hundred thousand, a rarity that only appeared once every few hundred or thousand years.

Legends say that a long time ago in the Cultivation World, there was someone with the Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body whose aptitude was staggeringly high. He took only two thousand five hundred years to ascend, an even more astonishing talent than Mr. Xu himself.

This individual was known as the Lord of the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique. Originally, he was an unnoticed and inconspicuous member of a small Sect, the kind who would be cleaning while others engaged in grand discussions. No one in the Sect paid much attention to him.

Unexpectedly, on a night of thunder and lightning, he attracted a thunder strike.

Not only did he not die, but he also turned disaster into a blessing, his cultivation advancing mightily each day, shocking everyone and soaring to the heavens.

In just a few years, he had become famous in the Cultivation World, invincible among his peers.

After that, the reputation of the Lord of the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique shook the eight deserts and six combinations, terrifying those who heard of him and alarming the hearers.

Lin Fan truly dared not believe that he could encounter someone with the Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body on Earth, a tiny planet barren of Spiritual Energy.

Seeing how Xu Fan’s expression changed again and again because of him, Cui Dong’s heart hung suspended, fearing his body had a major issue, possibly even the trash physique as described in novels.

“Master, can you just tell me straight? I can accept even the worst outcome, but I really can’t stand this torment.”

“Kid, what’s the rush? The outcome, good or bad, is already determined,” Xu Fan let go of his hand and chuckled. “You really are lucky, not just for meeting me, but also for the physique you were born with.”

“What physique?” Cui Dong’s spirit was immediately lifted.

“The Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body.”

“Oh… Sounds badass, but what’s it good for?” Cui Dong was both excited and curious, wishing he could transform into a hundred thousand whys.

With a smile, Xu Fan explained: “To put it simply, there exists a mysterious energy in the universe—Spiritual Energy. Martial Artists are stronger than ordinary people mainly because they can absorb Spiritual Energy, but the Spiritual Energy on Earth is too sparse, making Ancient Martial Artists exceedingly rare. Moreover, Spiritual Energy comes with different attributes, such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, wind, thunder, ice, cloud, and others. Your physique’s strength lies in possessing a freakish affinity for thunder-attributed Spiritual Energy, allowing you to easily refine it for your own use.”

“It seems that the Dragon Demi-Immortal you mentioned isn’t just a fraudster; he was right. Your constitution isn’t just a once-in-a-hundred-years phenomenon, it’s more like once in a thousand years.”

Xu Fan’s explanation was already straightforward, but Cui Dong still found it confusing.

However, he wasn’t dumb, and he managed to understand the final part of the statement, confirming, “Master, do you mean I’m a prodigy with extraordinary talents?”

“Yes,” Xu Fan laughed at himself, and with a sense of envy and frustration, he said, “Even I am jealous of your talents.”

“Is it really that freakish?” Cui Dong got scared, took a few steps back, and said in panic, “Master, you’re not planning any schemes against me, are you?”

“Look at what you’re saying.” Xu Fan gave him a “look at how smart you think you are” look: “Your thought process is indeed extraordinary.”

“Ah… I’ve been poisoned by online novels too deeply; they have too many plots like this.”

As if he had recalled something, he then said, “Master, I don’t think I am as incredible as you say. After all, for all these years, the most that’s happened is that I seem to attract electricity more easily than others, like when I take off clothes or rub my hair. The most awkward thing is that I tend to give people electric shocks when I shake hands with them.”

“There’s no helping it, if you didn’t run into me, you would probably never awaken your constitution,” Xu Fan said with a smile. “But now your luck has changed. I can not only help you awaken rapidly, but I can also teach you the methods of cultivation. In no time, you will become the brightest new star in the Ancient Martial World, soaring to great heights.”

“Oh my gosh!” Cui Dong was so stunned by Xu Fan’s praise that he was momentarily dumbfounded. When he snapped out of it, he jumped up and struck a triumphant pose, babbling to himself, “I, Cui Dong, with my miserable life and plagued by misfortunes, would have never imagined being the reincarnation of the Thunder God. Damn, the heavens have not treated me unfairly. I, Cui Dong, shall achieve extraordinary feats and step into the Ancient Martial World as a true unparalleled expert, second to none. All those who bullied and insulted me in the past will face my revenge.”

These utterly clichéd lines made everyone else in the lounge shiver and they all gave him a “this kid is not right in the head” look.

Put plainly, his brain development was incomplete, his cerebellum immature, in short: idiotic.

Seeing Cui Dong’s elated and proud expression, Xu Fan was speechless and interjected, “Stop it, I really can’t stand these cringe-worthy clichéd lines. They could drive a person mad.”

Upon hearing this, Cui Dong snapped out of his own world but didn’t forget to show off, “Master, inspired by this moment, I have a poem to recite. Please listen.”

After saying this, he cleared his throat, transforming into a dramatic poet, and began reciting with great emotion and emphasis, “Holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars, there is no one like me under the heavens.”

“OK, OK,” Xu Fan was done with his disciple’s antics and hurriedly said, “You’re the most badass, no doubt about it. Now give it a rest, will you?”

Cui Dong quickly gestured with his hand, “Master, are you trying to kill me with flattery? I’m not even one ten-thousandth as amazing as you are.”

This flattery was so shameless it was unparalleled, and even Xu Fan felt embarrassed, so he had to reply, “Badass as it is, this matter isn’t so simple.”

“What?”

Cui Dong was stunned; could something bad be happening? He instantly became nervous!

“The awakening of the Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body is not an easy task.” Xu Fan revealed a meaningful smile, “There are conditions. Want to take a guess?”

Cui Dong had a bad feeling. He touched his sweaty forehead and stammered, “It’s not… getting struck by lightning, is it?”

Xu Fan’s smile brightened, “Congratulations.”

Immediately, Cui Dong howled as if in agony, looking like a dead man, “No, I don’t want it.”
