When the sect leader arrived, he tilted his head, pouted, and looked utterly speechless: "I'm just destined to be a hard-working person."
More than twenty years have passed since the last person advanced from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage.
It's been a long time, though; but it's not actually that long either.
Unexpectedly, it was the three of them, the senior and junior siblings, who were promoted one by one, and two of them were even related to the little dragon cub.
It was later confirmed that Wei Wenru still possessed residual spiritual power from Nian Wanzhou, which had a tremendous effect, even better than the Nourishing Pill that the Grand Elder had been using.
The problem is that they have never been able to fully understand Nian Wanzhou's spiritual power, and they don't even know her cultivation level.
She has too many secrets to understand clearly, and she herself is unaware of the changes in herself.
What a little brat!
Back in the ring.
Le Xi, floating in mid-air, closed his eyes and looked up to feel the thundercloud. He felt as if there was something inside his body constantly impacting his elixir. The feeling was both uncomfortable and exciting.
He gritted his teeth and kept brandishing his longsword.
However, this haphazard waving of his arms unexpectedly made him feel that his movements and state of mind were becoming smoother and smoother, changing his previous state of mind that had been suppressed by Nian Wanzhou.
At that moment, he was suddenly struck by a profound sense of enlightenment. The feeling was subtle and indescribable. He only knew that his consciousness had reached an unprecedented level of clarity, as if a force was supporting him.
As if remembering something, she turned around and looked...
His vengeful junior sister is gathering white spiritual energy for him to support him in wielding his longsword.
At this moment, Lexi felt more at peace than ever before, so peaceful that she wished she could be struck by lightning right now.
He thought he had suddenly realized something amazing, but when he turned around, he found that it was actually his dear junior sister who was helping him!
Haha, how embarrassing.
Meanwhile, Nian Wanzhou, who was being relentlessly attacked by his sword strikes, wasn't having such a good time. Seeing that Lexi was almost sucked into the thundercloud, she hurriedly tried to use her own power to pull Lexi back...
After trying for half a day, she finally succeeded, only to discover that this jerk was actually absorbing her spiritual energy!
I spent most of the day working hard for you, and in the end you took all my good stuff.
He truly deserves to be her dear senior brother!
"Wanwan, come down quickly. If he passes the tribulation, it will endanger you." The sect leader felt the pressure emanating from Nian Wanzhou as he approached the arena and immediately sensed something was wrong.
Is this truly the oppressive aura of a Golden Core cultivator?
Suddenly, Lexi became worried; this didn't seem like something she could handle.
"Let's remove the summoned thunderclouds first." Yuheng anxiously went up to give instructions, stealing the limelight from the sect leader and getting glared at for a while.
Nian Wanzhou looked bewildered and said, "Ah, did I get that? I didn't feel anything at all, what should I do, Godfather!"
Yuheng: "Relax, concentrate and draw your spiritual power back. Yes, just like that, slowly draw it back."
Following Yuheng's instructions, Nian Wanzhou slowly withdrew the spiritual energy from outside, and at this time she still could not sense the presence of thunderclouds.
Nian Wanzhou asked doubtfully, "Godfather, is this alright?"
Yuheng happily encouraged her: "Well done, that's good enough. Now come down, don't worry about that little dragon!"
But this wasn't just a matter of whether she could come down or not. If she did, wouldn't that be admitting defeat? That wouldn't do! "No, Godfather, my sparring with my senior brother hasn't ended yet. If I go down, wouldn't that be admitting defeat?"
Stubborn Nian Wanzhou didn't really want to go out, especially when she saw Le Xi's constipated expression upstairs, which annoyed her.
I gave you spiritual power, and you're already complaining, huh?
"Be good, Wanwan, we won't stay with that stinky dragon~" Yuheng used all his tricks to coax his little brat back, a strange smile appearing on his handsome face, his features almost scrunched up.
Nan Yu couldn't stand it anymore: "Sixth Elder, please don't do this, it's so ugly... You'll scare Wanwan like this."
Even the three of them plus the sect leader couldn't persuade Nian Wanzhou, who was in a bad mood, to calm down. No one knew what she was up against, but she just wouldn't come down.
Nian Wanzhou, whose stubbornness stemmed from her maternal grandparents and whose only thought was to beat up her senior brother, was actually just unwilling to leave the arena because she sensed that Lei Yun was acting strangely again.
This "again" isn't a big problem either; at least it's much better than what Wei Wenru faced.
"Sect Master, there's a dragon above the thunderclouds, it looks like an illusion." Nian Wanzhou's sweet voice rang out from the array, pointing out the flickering shadow within the clouds to everyone.
However, apart from the sect leader and the sixth elder, no one else could see it; it seems that only those with high cultivation levels can see it.
At this moment, no one cares whether Lexi is being promoted...
The sect leader looked up with a solemn expression, and sure enough, he saw the dragon's shadow, which seemed familiar. Upon closer inspection, he could see that it was just an afterimage, not a real dragon.
In that instant, a thunderbolt hurtled down and struck Lexi heavily.
"Wanwan!"
"Junior Sister!"
Everyone gasped in surprise. This tribulation of advancement came far too quickly, leaving no time to think of a way out.
After the first clap of thunder, the entire arena collapsed with a roar, and smoke billowed everywhere.
Nian Wanzhou, with her hair smoking and burnt, crawled out of the rubble, completely stunned.
"..." Watching Nian Wanzhou pat her clothes, casually walk to the edge of the barrier while holding her hair, then squat down, cross her arms and watch the next thunderbolt fall, everyone was truly speechless.
It has to be said that the junior sister is incredibly silly, and also incredibly thick-skinned.
Sure enough, even when struck by lightning during a Nascent Soul stage cultivator's tribulation, he acted as if nothing had happened. He was truly unharmed, his aura was steady, and his spiritual energy protected his body...
They witnessed it firsthand: the moment the thunder struck, a familiar white light immediately appeared on the junior sister's body, forcefully deflecting the lightning bolt.
Moreover, the sect leader was not flustered at all.
Sect Leader: It's not that I'm not panicked, it's that I know the whole story, and it's too late anyway.
Although they all knew how tough and resilient the junior sister was, they were not sure if she would be hurt even if struck by lightning.
"Um, well... I'm fine now," Nian Wanzhou said awkwardly, exhaling black smoke from her mouth, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Everyone: You're so embarrassed!
Fortunately, everything was alright, and everyone was relieved. So they simply watched as Lexi was struck by lightning and promoted.
This tribulation was not as exaggerated as the one Wei Wenru had experienced. Although there were many thunderclouds, most of them were summoned by Nian Wanzhou.
The sect leader flew into the sky and carefully observed the indistinct dragon-shaped clouds in the clouds. It was exactly the same as the dragon totem they had seen in ancient books. It was the white dragon from ten thousand years ago.
But it remains unknown whether this dragon-shaped cloud was summoned by Nian Wanzhou or came for Lexi.
