With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 278 Absorbing Thunder

Lin Fan had naturally been caught off guard since he didn't expect lightning to fall on him like this.

Luckily for him, he had already condensed the ice mirror barrier around him.

Those ice mirrors firmly stood in the path of the lightning falling down on him.

However, the moment that the lightning hit the ice mirrors, something that shocked Lin Fan happened.

Usually, when the ice mirrors were hit with an attack, they would absorb them and then shoot them back at the enemy. However, this time, the ice mirrors shattered the moment that the lightning came in contact with them.

There wasn't even a second of delay as the mirrors instantly shattered on contact.

Luckily, Lin Fan could control the ice mirrors better, so he was able to create multiple layers of the ice mirror around him.

But even then, the lightning wouldn't be stopped as it shattered through the multiple layers of ice mirrors that he had formed. All of the ice mirrors acted the same as the first ice mirror, shattering on first contact.

There was no delay at all as more and more ice mirrors were shattered and the lightning made its way closer and closer to Lin Fan.

At this rate, it seemed like Lin Fan was about to be charred to a crisp.

But he reacted slowly because he had been caught off guard and he wasn't able to do anything as the lightning approached.

All he could do was watch as the lightning was about to hit him.

The moment that the first lightning bolt hit him, Lin Fan felt the same feeling as when he had been electrified by the plug that one time when he pulled out his laptop charger. It was a slight numb feeling at first, but it grew stronger and stronger until every part of his body was filled with pain.

He also felt his entire body getting hotter and hotter, almost as if he was being cooked by the lightning.

When he felt like he was about to die though, something completely unexpected happened.

His dantian started to turn and soon, it started absorbing the lightning that was inside of his body.

The lightning was absorbed in small amounts at first, so he didn't really notice a difference, but then he could feel the burning and painful sensation fading away. Soon, he was able to return to normal as the lightning inside of him had been absorbed.

But that wasn't the end…

Since that was only one of the many bolts of lightning that had gathered around him.

Before Lin Fan could even see what had happened inside of his dantian, there was another bolt of lightning that fell onto him. The timing of it was almost as if it had sensed the first bolt of lightning disappearing, which was why this second bolt fell.

When the second bolt of lightning hit him, Lin Fan felt the same feeling as before, but it was a bit weaker. It was almost as if his body had adapted to the feeling of being zapped by lightning.

Well, it was one part that and one part that his body started absorbing the lightning much quicker this time.

As soon as the lightning filled him, his dantian started turning and sucking the lightning in.

This time, the process finished much quicker as his dantian had absorbed the lightning at a greater speed.

Then as soon as all the lightning was absorbed into his dantian, there was another bolt of lightning that fell down almost as if on cue.

Once again, the lightning was absorbed and once again it was absorbed even faster than before.

This time, Lin Fan was able to maintain his focus instead of losing his mind to the numbing and painful feeling. He was able to carefully look around him and see that there were still seventeen balls of light that were gathered around him.

If he had to guess what these were, his guess was that these were the remaining bolts of lightning that he had to endure before this trap that he had triggered was over.

As soon as he finished checking out his surroundings, the next bolt of lightning fell down on him as if following a cue.

But this time, he almost didn't feel it at all.

His dantian had been churning at full force and it swallowed most of the lightning that hit him almost immediately, so there wasn't the same painful feeling as before. There was still the numbing feeling that came from being hit by lightning, but it was no longer strong enough that he couldn't move at all.

So before the next bolt of lightning fell down, Lin Fan decided to start moving forward.

He knew that it was impossible for him to dodge this bolt of lightning with his speed since he wasn't even able to keep up with it with his eyes, so he didn't plan on dodging it. After all, he had a way of dealing with it without dodging it in the first place, so why dodge something that he could resist?

Once again, as if on cue, as soon as he thought this, there was another bolt of lightning that fell down on him.

Once again, this bolt of lightning had no effect.

In fact, it was so ineffective that he almost didn't feel the same numbing feeling that he felt before and was able to move his body like normal.

It was almost as if he wasn't affected by the lightning coursing through his body at all.

However, he could still feel the lightning energy that was lingering inside of his body.

It wasn't that he was absorbing all of it right away, it was that his body had now adapted to being filled with lightning energy and could resist it to a certain extent. So even if he had lightning energy inside of him, he was still able to act as normal.

Of course, that was only to a certain extent.

If it wasn't for his dantian absorbing most of the lightning strike, then he would have certainly be paralyzed again.

Lin Fan was able to move several steps forward before the lightning energy disappeared and the next strike came. However, this time, the lightning strike was different from before.

It was as if it could tell that the single bolt of lightning wasn't able to affect Lin Fan anymore, so there were two bolts of lightning that fell down on him this time.

With the effects doubled, Lin Fan was once again paralyzed by the numbing feeling and there was the same painful feeling that filled his body. He was once again unable to move and unable to focus his mind from the pain.

If it wasn't for his dantian turning at full speed and absorbing the lightning energy that was currently in his body, he might have really died like that.

In the end, he was once again able to resist the two bolts of lightning that fell down on him. However, as soon as the lightning energy from these two bolts of lightning dissipated into his dantian, there were two more bolts of lightning that fell.

This process repeated again and again until he adapted to the power that was within two bolts of lightning.

As he looked around, he saw that there were still seven balls of light that were left.

This was an odd number and based on the number of lightning bolts that fell down, there would be one left over in the end.

Lin Fan didn't think that this trap would end this way and he was right.

That was because what came next was three bolts of lightning.

All three of these lightning bolts landed accurately on his body and immediately created a numbing sensation, but there was no pain at all.

Unlike the doubling that came when the number of lightning bolts increased from one to two, this time it was only a 33% increase of two bolts to three bolts, so it was at a degree that he could endure.

But he was still numb to the point where he couldn't move.

Then there was the final lightning strike…that was right, it was the final strike.

All four remaining balls of light suddenly flashed and four bolts of lightning fell down onto Lin Fan's body.

This time, he couldn't help feeling the painful and numbing feeling that he felt the first time. However, it didn't go further than that and he was able to quickly absorb all of the lightning energy that filled his body.

By the end of it, Lin Fan was left panting as he stood there.

His clothes were filled with static, but they hadn't been burnt since most of the lightning had been absorbed by him.

Lin Fan really felt like he had undergone the most stressful situation in his life. Even when he had been fighting for his life, he had never felt this stressful because in those situations, he would at least be able to control his body, control his fate.

However, when he had been hit with the lightning bolts, they had numbed him to the point where he couldn't move at all.

This was a feeling that he disliked very much…

Still, at least it was over now…

That was until he stepped onto the next trap tile that was in this long hallway.

After all, there were so many holes that were in the walls and the ceiling, so it was clear that there were more trap tiles here. Far more than he could imagine based on the holes in the wall.

It was clear that this trial was still far from being over yet.
