The main protective spell at the entrance of the Lightning Pool caused Xu Que to hesitate in fear.
He didn’t want to be recognized as an infiltrator or an imposter just before he had his fun in the Thunder Tribulations Worship. Should that happen, all his chances of acting tough would be gone.
The most important thing was to temper and strengthen his body. After hearing this fact from Su Ling’er he was extremely interested.
Although Xu Que had already mustered many spells, he had never learnt any to strengthen his own physical body. The only time he had improved his physical strength was after he consumed the pills in the treasure cove of Celestial Sect and almost died from eating too many pills. When the system activated the function to restore his health, his body became slightly stronger as well.
