"Ah Zhe, you should put the crocodile-snake body away first. Its skin, bones, blood, and meat are all valuable to you at this stage."

"Alright, I’ll go now."

Sun Zhe didn’t question Yao Yuelong’s words at all, and turned to slide towards the ground. After much effort, he managed to put the enormous corpse of the thunder-transformed crocodile-snake into the white jade ring.

On their way back to the cave, Yao Yuelong and Yao Yueqing, the sisters, kept arguing fiercely, almost ready to start a fight.

Sun Zhe and Leng Yueshuang couldn’t get a word in, and could only obediently stay on the side.

Inside the cave.

Yao Yuelong sighed lightly, looked at Sun Zhe, and said, "Instead of us arguing, why not ask Ah Zhe what he chooses himself?"

Little Dragon Girl snorted, and said to Sun Zhe, "Xiao Zhezi, listen to me, choose the fire attribute. Given your physique, you’ll definitely awaken a powerful fire attribute, and then you can burn all things in existence. Isn’t that better than lightning?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe felt a stir in his heart.

Listening to these sisters argue for so long, he roughly understood some things.

It seemed that when martial artists gather spirit, they choose certain attributes.

From what Little Dragon Girl said, this fire attribute really seemed quite impressive.

At this moment, Yao Yuelong spoke, "Lightning, among all attributes, possesses the strongest destructive power and speed. Plus lightning itself contains infinite vitality; I believe you can feel the greatness of lightning from True Qi Thunder Transformation."

Sun Zhe nodded, "Yes, and it can be used for electric fishing."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yuelong rolled her eyes at him.

Look at his potential!

But at this moment, Sun Zhe had a dilemma.

Fire and lightning are both good, each with its own advantages, so which one should he choose?

After thinking for a while, Sun Zhe didn’t rush to make a choice and asked, "What you’re talking about, these attributes, what exactly are they? Can you elaborate?"

Yao Yuelong stepped to the cave entrance, her skirt fluttering, her gaze faraway as she looked at the sky outside the cave and said slowly, "In the vast universe, all things have spirits, which is what we call Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi."

"And within Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, there are various elements, among which the most common are the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Beyond these five attributes, there are the rarer elements such as lightning, wind, and light."

"Furthermore, all attributes have yin and yang sides, like yang fire, yin fire, yang lightning, and yin lightning, these are the so-called Taiji gives birth to two forms."

"And the yin-yang of attributes is typically determined by male and female, usually males awaken yang attributes and females yin attributes, but this is not absolute, there are cases of males with yin attributes and females with yang attributes."

Sun Zhe rubbed his chin, pondering, "So gathering spirit means awakening one’s own attributes?"

"Indeed," Yao Yuelong nodded, "Nowadays Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is thin, almost depleted, so the thin spiritual qi must be gathered to find one’s own attributes."

Sun Zhe nodded, "Understood, so gathering spirit means this."

Yao Yuelong continued, "However, even if a large amount of spiritual qi is gathered, the elements contained are still very few, or some might contain unsuitable elements."

Sun Zhe asked, "Then what can be done?"

Yao Yuelong said, "So at this time, human intervention is needed, using items containing a single element, like the inner core, to guide the awakening of a suitable attribute."

Sun Zhe showed an enlightened expression, "So this lightning-transformed crocodile-snake’s inner core..."

Yao Yuelong nodded, "Earlier I discussed with Yueqing, planning to let you awaken the fire attribute, but I didn’t expect you to encounter the lightning-transformed crocodile-snake."

"Comparatively, the lightning attribute is more suitable for you."

"Yang lightning is ceaseless, encompassing destruction and vigorous vitality; if you awaken yang lightning, your future will be limitless."

Little Dragon Girl coldly snorted, "You speak not a word of the power of the fire attribute."

Sun Zhe coughed twice, "Well, both of you godmothers, stop arguing. Since lightning and fire both seem good, so is it possible... can I have both? Since only children make choices."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yuelong gave Sun Zhe a deep look and said, "Dual attributes are not impossible, but the probability is extremely low. Moreover, in your current condition, awakening dual attributes is equivalent to courting death. Your body will not bear it."

"In history, dual attributes are rare and difficult to count on fingers. Moreover, due to dual attributes, your subsequent cultivation will be severely hindered. Without a specific cultivation technique, you will encounter bottlenecks after reaching a certain height and find it difficult to progress."

"Simply put, dual attributes are hard to cultivate."

Little Dragon Girl agreed, saying, "So Xiao Zhezi, you should choose one attribute for cultivation."

"As you said, in a lifetime, being able to accomplish one thing well is already remarkable."

"Cultivating the Dao is the same. Actually, every major attribute is good; if cultivated to the extreme, it can be unrivaled in the world."

"If you really don’t know how to choose, then draw lots."

Sun Zhe helplessly smiled, "Alright, if you two continue to argue, who knows when it will end, so let’s just keep it simple and decide with a draw."

After a while.

Leng Yueshuang extended both fists in front of Sun Zhe, saying, "I’m holding a little stone in one of my hands. If you pick the hand with the stone, then choose the fire attribute."

"Otherwise, it’s the lightning attribute."

Sun Zhe said, "Isn’t this a bit hasty?"

"What else then?"

Then Little Dragon Girl reminded, "Don’t use that peeking eye!"

Sun Zhe was somewhat depressed, "What peeking eye? It’s called X-ray Vision."

Leng Yueshuang was surprised, "You also have the ability of X-ray Vision?"

Sun Zhe scratched his head, "Uh... I’ve never mentioned it. Now that things have come to this, I can’t hide it anymore. Actually, when I first met you, your body inside and out was seen by me."

"You..." Leng Yueshuang blushed with anger, ready to hit him.

Sun Zhe was so frightened that he quickly dodged.

"Alright, draw the lot."

The air suddenly grew quiet.

Yao Yuelong and Little Dragon Girl stared at Sun Zhe, eyes full of anticipation.

Sun Zhe looked back and forth at Leng Yueshuang’s right hand and then her left hand, picking back and forth, finally choosing the left hand.

"Are you sure about the left hand?"

"I’m sure."

Leng Yueshuang opened her left hand, empty.

Yao Yuelong smiled, "The lightning attribute."

Little Dragon Girl frantically said, "No, no, no, redo, this doesn’t count!"

Sun Zhe chuckled, "Lightning attribute it is. What should we do next?"

Yao Yuelong said, "In the next two days, you must adjust your state and use your Sun Family’s ’Yin Yang Sacred Heart Technique’ to store True Qi as much as possible."

Sun Zhe showed a meaningful smile, "Does that mean dual cultivation?"

Yao Yuelong’s face turned red, but she said nothing.

Leng Yueshuang realized and wanted to escape, but Sun Zhe quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

"Come, Shuang’er, let’s cultivate together, my lady!"

"No..."

"..."
