Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 126 Departure, Qishan County City
Wan Lei exclaimed in surprise.
“Your ancestor personally refined this battle armor. You think it wouldn’t even have a spirit? Are you really from the Wan family? How come you don’t know anything? Don’t tell me you don’t even know what my functions are?”
The armor spirit said.
Good heavens, refined by the ancestor? Which ancestor? The Thunder Emperor ancestor? Then it's no wonder this armor has a spirit.
A battle armor refined by the Thunder Emperor ancestor must be incredibly powerful. But why was it tossed in the corner of the treasury? What a waste!
“Hehe, of course I’m from the Wan family. But the family is tight-lipped and didn’t tell me its functions.”
Wan Lei said with an awkward smile.
It wasn’t that Wan Hongxin hadn’t told him, but there simply hadn’t been time. After obtaining the armor, he’d been drinking. With outsiders around, Wan Hongxin hadn't found a moment to explain it to him in detail until now, when he was facing the Heavenly Tribulation.
But Wan Hongxin didn't know much either. After all, fifty thousand years had passed. Who could clearly remember what the Thunder Emperor ancestor had said or what functions he had explained?
“Only someone with the innate Thunder Body can refine and use this battle armor. It can help the Thunder Body better absorb the thunderforce within lightning. It can withstand ninety percent of thunder-attribute attacks and eighty percent of other attribute attacks.
Below the Immortal Realm, basically no one can break through this armor.”
The armor spirit said casually.
It said it so easily, but Wan Lei's head was buzzing.
Putting aside everything before that, just those last three sentences alone showed how heaven-defying this armor was!
With it, Wan Lei was confident he could survive against a Nascent Soul Realm expert!
“Thank you for your guidance, Armor Senior. Now this junior is even more confident in weathering this Heavenly Tribulation.”
Wan Lei said, overjoyed.
Soon, the Heavenly Tribulation struck down again. This time, Wan Lei easily withstood it, even having plenty of strength left to heal his injuries with thunderforce.
“Lei’er’s battle armor looks pretty good. As soon as he put it on, it was like he became a different person, and resisting the Heavenly Tribulation became a lot easier.”
Sui Potian praised.
“This is a battle armor passed down in my Wan family. The might of the Thunder Armor is clear to see.”
It wasn’t Wan Hongxin who spoke, but Wan Zhentian, who had just arrived.
“Father.”
Wan Hongxin nodded in acknowledgement.
“Alas, in the past, I never watched Lei’er undergo a Heavenly Tribulation even once. Now I’ve finally put aside worldly affairs and can come see it. But I never expected that the power of this Heavenly Tribulation is countless times stronger than my Golden Core Tribulation back then.
How did Lei’er get through these days?”
Wan Zhentian looked at Wan Lei’s stubborn figure in the arena, feeling a pang of heartache.
Grandparental love.
The fact that Wan Lei used to be such a wastrel wasn’t entirely due to Wan Hongxin spoiling him. His grandfather was also responsible.
“Lei’er's Heavenly Tribulation is descending according to his current mid-Golden Core stage cultivation level. The Heavenly Tribulation’s strength is only equivalent to the Heavenly Tribulation of a Foundation Establishment peak stage or early-Golden Core stage cultivator.
With Lei’er's current cultivation, resisting the Heavenly Tribulation is like a game. Only the Heavenly Punishment can still pose a threat to him.”
Wan Hongxin spouted a bunch of seemingly reasonable but practically useless nonsense.
“With the battle armor’s help, Lei’er should be able to better resist the Heavenly Punishment. We can just watch quietly.”
At this moment, the thunderclouds in the sky intensified, and the Heavenly Punishment that descended grew fiercer and fiercer, with the air of wanting to blast Wan Lei into dust.
With the battle armor’s help, Wan Lei was also incredibly awesome, roaring and facing the Heavenly Thunder head-on. To outsiders, it seemed like he really had the spirit to fight against the Heavenly Dao.
This time, the Heavenly Punishment lasted for a full two hours. Towards the end, each bolt of lightning made Wan Zhentian, Wan Hongxin, and the others tremble with fear. If they were to take it, they would probably die within five strikes. But Wan Lei was struck countless times, yet he was still full of energy.
The Heavenly Punishment finally ended.
Sui Xiaohang looked at the gradually dispersing thunderclouds in the sky, collapsing to the ground as if all his strength had been drained.
The pain in his body couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. The joy of surviving a calamity made him greedily breathe in the fresh air.
The hammer flew back into Wan Lei’s hand.
“Kid, this wisp of the Heavenly Dao has already been subdued. There was a slight hitch in the middle, causing some Heavenly Dao aura to come down with a few bolts of lightning. Now both you and Sui Xiaohang have the Heavenly Dao aura in your bodies, but it's not a bad thing.
I’m exhausted. I’m going to rest first. Don’t call me if it’s not important.”
The little yellow dog's voice was a little weak.
“Lei… Young Master Lei is awesome!”
Sui Xiaohang lay on the ground, looking at Wan Lei standing there. The figure in the blue battle armor seemed incredibly tall and mighty in his eyes at that moment.
Or maybe it was the perspective.
Wan Zhentian and the others all flew over.
“Lei’er, I won't thank you for your great kindness. Sui Potian will remember this favor. In the future, I will definitely be loyal to the Wan family. If you need anything, I will die without hesitation.”
Sui Potian said solemnly, cupping his fist.
“Sui Xiaohang is my brother.”
Wan Lei only said this one sentence.
After dismissing the armor, Wan Lei saw Wan Zhentian and asked curiously, “Grandpa, why are you here?”
“You’re undergoing Heavenly Punishment here. Can’t your grandfather be worried and come to see you?”
Wan Zhentian said, pretending to be displeased.
“Haha, cut the crap. You must have something going on.”
Wan Lei smiled, glancing at the hammer. The eighth rune on it was a little brighter.
He felt that in the future, he could find more people undergoing tribulation and help them, so that he could absorb the Heavenly Dao Thunder, increase his cultivation, make money, and earn goodwill...
The thought of all this made Wan Lei even more excited.
“It’s not a big deal. Now that your Heavenly Punishment is over and the rebellion has been suppressed, there aren’t many important things to do. So I was thinking of letting you go out and take a look around to broaden your horizons, like going to the prefectural city...”
“What’s there to do in the prefectural city?”
Wan Lei didn't believe Wan Zhentian's words and asked directly.
Wan Zhentian chuckled awkwardly twice, “It’s like this, in four days, the Grand Treasure Hall in the prefectural city will have an auction. This time, there will be a batch of Harmonious Qi Nascent Soul Protecting Pills up for auction.
This Harmonious Qi Nascent Soul Protecting Pill can allow cultivators to better maintain the stability of their nascent soul when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Isn’t your father about to form his nascent soul? So I wanted you to make a trip to bid for a pill and bring it back for your father to use.”
“Alright, I’ll go.”
Concerning his father's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, Wan Lei was duty-bound.
“Harmonious Qi Nascent Soul Protecting Pill? Doesn’t this pill only come from the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, the number one pill refining sect in the Thunderwind Realm? But it’s quite valuable.”
Heaven Calculator was indeed knowledgeable.
“That’s right, it’s produced by the Heavenly Pill Pavilion. It’s said that there are ten pills in total this time. In the central region of the Thunderwind Continent, this pill costs 50,000 spirit stones per pill.
We are remote here, and the Heavenly Pill Pavilion spent a lot of cost in sending it here, so they chose the form of auction."
Wan Zhentian explained.
