CHAPTER 439: CH-439

While Wang Ming was ecstatic about gaining another elemental immunity, on the other side of the narrow cave, the boss of the Black Church frowned and the squad leader had his mouth agape as both stopped and watched Wang Ming get repeatedly struck by lightning and most shockingly, he was completely unharmed and did not die even though dozen lightning bolt his body.

"What on heavens is this guy?" The squad leader knew from his close escape from death how strong Wang Ming was, but now he stared at Wang Ming like he was a monster in human skin, and a freak of nature.

’Is this guy suicidal? Does he not feel pain?’ the squad leader thought as he saw countless bolts of lightning fall on Wang Ming’s body, destroying his hands and legs each time. Moreover, it seemed like he was the one jumping into the path of the lightning. Honestly, he had hoped Wang Ming would die, so he was ecstatic when the lightning hit him but he was left speechless by his absurd healing power which regenerated his limbs almost instantly.

Even he and the leader of the Black Church, under the protection of the treasure above their heads, could feel tremors when the lightning struck it, and he felt that if even one of them struck him, he would die in an instant as his body would explode into blood mist.

The squad leader looked at the leader beside him and saw him silently staring at Wang Ming as if trying to see through his secrets.

"Ah, a very talented individual," the leader said in a calm and indifferent tone as she nodded his head several times, "but it’s a shame the organization wouldn’t be able to use him, so he must be eliminated."

The leader shook his head with a sigh and then looked at Wang Ming with a hint of killing intent.

The squad leader who heard his words showed no surprise and nodded, as most of the members of the Black Church at the start were weak and had low talent. The current members, even he, were those who joined after killing some of the former of the Black Church whom the boss had invited personally to join . Some accepted due to offers the best gave them, while others were pummeled into submission.

"Boss, can’t you just use your usual way of subduing him? Wouldn’t he be more useful to us if he joined?" the squad leader asked with doubt and hesitation. Though he hated and feared Wang Ming, practically tossing aside those feelings, if they could recruit Wang Ming, it would be more beneficial and massively increase the strength of the Black Church.

Just as those words left his mouth, he felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the boss looking at him coldly.

"Are you trying to lecture me?" the boss said in an emotionless voice while looking at the squad leader intensely.

"N-No, leader, of course not," the squad leader broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly replied as he felt a crushing sensation in his soul. He realized he had almost overstepped his boundaries.

"Hmph, even if I invite someone like him who has so much potential, he will never agree to be under anyone else. So, he has to die before he becomes a threat to me and my plans," the leader said in a calm voice. Sure, he had subdued a lot of people with talent, but judging by Wang Ming’s small actions and the aura around him, he could conclude someone like Wang Ming would never submit to anyone.

"You are right, boss," the squad leader hurriedly agreed with him.

"And besides, I don’t even need to take action. If he continues his reckless streak in the next section of the trial, he will die anyway," the leader said in a cold voice before he brought out an item that strengthened the artifact above their heads and walked forward.

Wang Ming closed the tab and saw Chu Jingling staring at him with an open mouthmore specifically, she was staring at the lightning striking his body but not affecting him at all.

"What the hell just happened... Why are you not affected by lightning anymore?" Chu Jingling asked in a dumbfounded gaze as she watched none of the lightning bolts, which destroyed parts of his body last time, have any effect at all this time.

"Guess," Wang Ming said with a smirk.

"..." Chu Jingling.

’Guess your head, you infuriating bastard,’ Chu Jingling thought as veins popped on her forehead and her eyebrows twitched as she glared at Wang Ming. Then she suddenly paused as she remembered something.

"Wait..." Chu Jingling’s eyes widened.

’Fire... Ice... Lightning... Holy shit!’ She remembered how calmly he was walking through extreme heat and cold before, unharmed, and how the ice did not cause him any discomfort at all. During the fire calamity, she noticed how the effect of fire on his body lessened each minute.

"You have some kind of immunity or physique that’s letting you gain immunities!" she exclaimed after seeing him gain immunity to lightning and connecting the other dots together.

"Wow, you really guessed it." Even Wang Ming was a bit surprised, then shrugged his shoulders it was normal she guessed since she saw him gaining immunity with her own eyes, and he had not intention of hiding it.

’Honestly, I was surprised it took her so long.’ If Chu Jingling heard Wang Ming’s thoughts, she would be fuming right now. It was only because she was a princess and had access to records of physiques possessing resistance; most didn’t even know about physiques having immunity.

"Wait, but how can you gain immunity? I know only a few physiques provide resistance to one kind of element, but you clearly have immunity over multiple elements," she asked, but Wang Ming just smiled.

’Maybe his physique is above the Heaven grade,’ she thought with a frown. The records she had were only on some Heaven-rank physiques.
