--- Chapter 172 ---
Baek Ain has stayed for a week in Lei Clan.
Besides researching the ultimate Lightning-Type Dou Techniques, he also spread his parasites' spawns and added some adjustments to them.
The former parasites were extremely tenacious and resistant to Heavenly Flame, but Baek Ain wanted an immediate effect. So Baek Ain invested his time and added another innate ability called [Immediate Multiplying] from a Magical Beast with near-infinite regeneration.
It wasn't a flawless innate ability, but enough to cover his parasites' weakness. After all, the parasites Baek Ain created were "inherently." linked by a hivemind.
Back to the topic, when the parasites' cells survived and consumed enough energy, they could regenerate and multiply instantaneously.
Of course, they wouldn't regenerate continuously. It depends on the target's resistance to parasitism control and hivemind integration.
One person might get conquered by one parasite's cell. And the other might need three of them.
Ultimately, the parasites will merge into their bodies and take over completely.
In a week, Baek Ain has already taken over 90% of the Lei Clan, Yan Clan, Gu Clan, and Yao Clan.
The remaining 10% wasn't so important because those people were outsiders living inside the respective Ancient Clans. They are either servants or hired people for specific reasons.
...
Inside the Lei Clan's Secret Realm, six people walked toward an area with a thick yet pure Lightning Dou Qi. They are Baek Ain, Lei Clan's Patriarch(Lei Ying), Qing Lin, and his three disciples.
"This place is nicer than I thought." Baek Ain commented casually.
Lei Ying smiled proudly and answered, "This place was my Lei Clan's foundation. The ancestor discovered it and bound the Thunderclouds Governing Chain Mountains onto it."
"A Dou God, huh?" Baek Ain gazed at the thunderclouds-filled sky.
Even though this place has no sunlight, the Secret Realm is surprisingly bright due to the constant lightning strikes. Several crystalite rocks also absorbed the power of lightning, becoming another light source in this secret realm.
The atmosphere is a little damp to Baek Ain's liking, but he can't complain about it. A place like this usually formed naturally, so he couldn't possibly be mad at nature's creation.
After five minutes of walking, they arrived at the Lightning Demon Pool.
It was quite a big pond with colorful green water filled with flickers of electricity and lightning as if several blinking LED lights were "actually." attached at the bottom.
Several crystallite rocks surrounded it, making the lightning more intense and concentrated.
Thinking about it, Baek Ain couldn't help but funnily utter, "Isn't this just a jacuzzi?"
"Jacuzzi?" The others tilted their heads at this unfamiliar word.
Baek Ain laughed and waved his hand casually, "It's just a fancy name for a hot tub."
"..." Lei Ying. This man just called Lei Clan's treasured place a hot tub.
Qing Lin giggled, "It kind of looks like it."
"Do we have to expose our skin to it?"
"About that..." Lei Ying suddenly tapped his spatial ring and handed specially made training clothes to them. "Since the Lightning Demon Pool possessed an extremely concentrated lightning, even a Dou Venerate's Armor will get destroyed after long exposure."
"So, I don't recommend dipping yourself with no clothes. These training clothes are "purposely." made for outsiders to reduce the lightning intensity."
"For outsiders..." Yao Ling'er frowned slightly.
Lei Ying noticed Yao Ling'er's confusion and chuckled, "Hehe, our Lei Clan doesn't need the training clothes because our Dou Di's Bloodline grants us awesome affinity and resistance toward Lightning Dou Qi."
"I once stayed for one year without anything protecting me!" He patted his broad chest proudly.
"..." The females were speechless.
Although they didn't want to imagine it, Lei Ying's words caused their expression to darken.
The three disciples hatefully glared at Lei Ying but didn't make a move.
Qing Lin was about to use her pupil's power to erase this man's mind from existence. Thankfully, Baek Ain stopped her by closing her eyes with his hands.
"Hmph..." Qing Lin pouted adorably, giving Baek Ain a wronged look.
Baek Ain sighed and told Lei Ying to open the Secret Realm back in a month. The Lei Clan's Patriarch nodded with a smile, leaving with a lightning flash.
"Well, there are only five of us now." Baek Ain smiled at the ladies. They instinctively blushed due to his handsome smile and calmed down a second later.
"Your bodies will get covered by the training clothes. However, I'll still make some adjustments." Baek Ain created an array and divided the pool into two areas.
Baek Ain acted like a gentleman and noble teacher, so he had to respect his disciples' chastity unless an emergency occurred.
"Teacher, you don't have to do this..." Yao Ling'er bit her lips unwillingly.
"Mhm." Huo Zhi actually nodded her head in agreement this time.
Beside Huo Zhi, Gu Xun'er acts calm outside, yet her heartbeat and blush say otherwise.
Baek Ain shook his head gently and stated, "You three are my precious disciples. Remember, one's body is a temple, so only the special man in your life can see it."
"But you're a special man, Teacher Lin." Gu Xun'er blurted all of a sudden.
Baek Ain was stunned and sternly said, "Stop playing around, wear the clothes, and meditate before entering the pool."
"I'm not playing around, though...' Gu Xun'er murmured to herself. She was embarrassed, but she was indeed telling the truth.
Baek Ain is a "special." man in her life.
It also applies to Yao Ling'er and Huo Zhi.
Baek Ain and Qing Lin looked at the training clothes, smiling at each other helplessly. They have [Parasite Suits], so these clothes were useless.
After telling their parasites to mimic the training clothes, Baek Ain and Qing Lin dipped inside the Lightning Demon Pool. They could feel faint electricity and warmness enveloping their body, causing their nerves to react slightly.
Maybe their bodies are too strong to be affected by the Lightning Demon Pool?
"How weird..." Qing Lin mumbled, feeling a thousand ants crawling onto her skin. The blood of the Divine Serpent Dragon in her body seemingly activated and absorbed the lightning.
Baek Ain glanced at her and said, "The lightning element can purify and destroy. Depending on the intensity, your body probably hasn't fully merged with the Divine Beast's Bloodline."
"I see, it's indeed like that." Qing Lin nodded slightly.
She stared at Baek Ain's back and returned, "Let me massage you, hubby~!"
"Sure." Baek Ain closed his eyes, enjoying this moment. He also multi-tasked with [Parallel Thinking] and researched Dou Techniques.
Meanwhile, Baek Ain's disciples finally dipped themselves into the pool after meditating for a bit. And when they heard Qing Lin wanted to massage Baek Ain, they felt jealous.
"How enviable..." Yao Ling'er looks very defeated.
Huo Zhi stared at the screen of light that blurred the other side and commented, "Let's focus on tempering ourselves first."
"Yes." Gu Xun'er clenched her fist, choosing a place and starting to run her Cultivation Technique.
Baek Ain opened his eyes as he created three Dou Techniques for his disciples. They are tailor-made for Yao Ling'er, Huo Zhi, and Gu Xun'er.
"Ling'er, come forward. I'll impart a Dou Technique to you."
"Okay, teacher!" Yao Ling'er was excited as she walked forward to the screen of light.
Baek Ain's arm passed through and tapped her forehead, transferring the knowledge to her head.
He repeated this to his other disciples, watching their physiques change due to the tempering of Lightning Demon Pool. Unlike the Lei Clan's technique, their bodies won't become muscular or tanned.
Although it would be an amusing sight, Baek Ain is not a cruel man.
"Train well." Baek Ain said to them.
"Yes!" X3.
Baek Ain was about to hand over a Dou Technique to Qing Lin, but she decisively refused as her inheritance contained the Body Tempering Technique.
He shrugged and focused on creating a new Dou Technique.
As Qing Lin kept massaging Baek Ain's back, Alicia's voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding! You have Synthesized a Dou Technique]
[Do you want to name it?]
"Yes, let's call it..."
"Lightning Calamity Divine Art."
