Almost the instant Liu Yu arrived, a small white streak of light rushed out of Lu Li's cave, shouting loudly as it rushed out.
"Ancestor, ancestor, get out of the way! Heavenly lightning is coming down!" That tender, childish voice was undoubtedly our little Shushu.
At the same time, lightning began to gather in the sky above, and dark clouds covered the area.
The millet worm naturally felt the power of the heavenly thunder. Now, as a member of the Soul Clan, it almost trembled as it threw a storage ring to the millet worm and left a message.
"My child, the storage ring contains items that your ancestor prepared to protect you from lightning tribulations. Make good use of them."
Before the potato could reply, it had already fled as fast as if its tail was on fire, fearing that the lightning tribulation would also target it.
There was no other way. Now that it was a member of the Soul Clan, even a tribulation lightning strike at the Nascent Soul stage would cause it great harm, and it dared not take the risk.
As for Shushu, seeing that her ancestor had run far away and that the tribulation lightning had not locked onto her, her originally anxious steps slowed down, and she began to think about where she should undergo the tribulation.
Before she could even think of a place to go, Liu Yu's voice rang in her ears: "I will take you there."
Immediately afterwards, she felt her body lighten, and the entire rat had moved to a different hilltop.
Looking at the somewhat familiar surroundings, knowing that this was a wild-inhabited mountain not far from the back mountain, Shushu no longer hesitated and began to seriously prepare for the tribulation.
Unexpectedly, before she could even begin, a figure descended from the nearby mountaintop. It was none other than Lu Li, who had been in seclusion with her, and now, tribulation lightning was gathering above his head.
Looking at the lightning above the other side's head, which was obviously much denser than his own, Shushu was somewhat surprised, but quickly understood.
Then she stretched out her little paw and made a cheering gesture to Lu Li, receiving a nod in response from him. Knowing that her senior brother meant she shouldn't worry, she felt relieved.
He then buried his head in his storage ring, carefully placing the things he might need aside before looking up at the tribulation lightning above his head.
After a while, the tribulation lightning overhead was almost fully formed, with lightning flashing in the clouds, just waiting to descend. The tribulation lightning above the neighboring buildings was in a similar state.
Fortunately, the tribulation lightning from both sides did not mix. Although they were adjacent, they did not disturb each other, which is why Liu Yu chose this mountain as the tribulation point.
Such a commotion naturally alerted the other disciples in the sect. They guessed that it must be Shushu and Luli undergoing their tribulations, so they all came over to see their tribulations.
After all, the Nascent Soul Tribulation is already considered the highest tribulation lightning in the Rainy Continent. If they could observe it in person, they could learn a lot.
Therefore, even before the tribulation lightning truly began, the mountaintops outside the safe distance were already densely packed with transformed beasts and untransformed offspring.
Gu Borong and a few others, along with Liu Ying and several other peak masters, were also neatly lined up in the crowd, and were even among the front of the group.
The spirit beasts were always bold and carefree, and they didn't pay much attention to the cubs coming to watch. They simply had the disciples of the Hall of Affairs set up a cordon at the front.
To prevent anyone from accidentally entering the range of the lightning tribulation, no further restrictions will be imposed.
Soon, the heavenly tribulation took shape before the piercing gazes of all the beasts.
The first to fall was the lightning tribulation on Shushu's side. The tribulation clouds flickered, followed by a loud boom, and a bolt of lightning fell vertically, heading straight for Shushu.
The scale was enormous, but the tribulation lightning was pitifully small, giving the beast a feeling of being all show and no substance.
When the lightning struck Shushu, his small body didn't even tremble, let alone get charred black—that was simply not the case.
This bizarre scene left everyone present, whether they had experienced the tribulation of lightning or not, completely bewildered. Was... was passing the tribulation of lightning really that simple?
The little ones, who hadn't yet experienced the tribulation of lightning, stared at the glutton with bright, sparkling eyes.
Even Shu Chi, who was secretly hiding in the crowd, wanting to see but also somewhat afraid of the power of the lightning tribulation, was stunned, muttering in disbelief, "Are lightning tribulations this gentle nowadays?"
Liu Yu's hearing was still very good. Upon hearing Shu Chi's words, he immediately turned around and saw the bright little eyes of the group of children.
Without even thinking, he guessed what these kids were up to, and instantly felt a headache coming on.
To prevent these little brats from thinking that the tribulation of lightning was so simple, and from enduring tribulation of lightning one by one in the future, Liu Yu could only quickly explain.
"Shushu is special; her tribulation lightning is different from ordinary people. Everyone should pay more attention to Lu Li."
To ensure that no beast was unaware of his words, he added some spiritual power when he spoke, so that his words would reach the ears of all the beasts.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li's first lightning tribulation descended.
Just as Liu Yu said, his tribulation lightning was not only imposing but also quite powerful.
A bolt of lightning, thicker than an adult's arm, struck down, instantly shattering Lu Li's superior spiritual artifact, the white jade crown, and causing his black hair to flutter wildly.
Although his robes were not shattered, the various magical runes and array patterns on them cracked under the attack.
The difference was so obvious that all the beasts noticed it, and those who had experienced the tribulation of lightning breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was normal.
At the same time, their gazes toward the millet were unconsciously tinged with envy. Alas, they also wished to easily transcend their tribulations. Could the Heavenly Dao also show them some favor?
The little ones were startled for a moment, but they quickly recovered and looked at the millet with eyes full of admiration.
Some of the most audacious ones had even secretly decided that they would also have to endure the lightning tribulation when they faced their own tribulations in the future.
This reaction was naturally noticed by Liu Yu and several peak masters who had been keeping an eye on the group of children, and they all rubbed their temples in exasperation.
Just as they were thinking about how to dispel these kids' unreliable ideas, the sound of a thunder tribulation rang in their ears again. The six of them looked at each other and had the same idea.
Thus, the Liuyue Sect's children's academy gained an additional activity: being struck by lightning. This was specially designed for them by the sect leader and several peak masters.
Of course, the effect was also very significant. Not only were the cubs trained to be tough and resilient, but many of them actually managed to withstand the lightning tribulation later on.
But that's a story for later; the little ones don't know that yet.
They suddenly felt a chill run down their spines and shivered, but they didn't pay much attention and continued to watch with great interest as Shushu and Luli underwent their tribulations.
