Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 54 The Prototype of the Ferryman of Heavenly Tribulation
The thunderclouds in the sky had already gathered thickly. Wan Liuchuan, in his blue robes, stood in mid-air, looking proudly at the thunderclouds above, his eyes full of disdain.
It was as if this Heavenly Tribulation, which had caused countless cultivators throughout the ages to fail in their tribulation and flee in terror, was just a game to him.
"He's really showing off. When I transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, I'll definitely be even more impressive than him."
From behind Wan Lei came the familiar whisper of Sui Xiaohang.
"Give it a rest. A Heavenly Punishment made you cry for your parents and wish you were dead. You want to form a core with the Heavenly Tribulation? Can you even form a core?"
Wan Lei said with disdain.
At this moment, the first wave of thunder from the Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation struck down.
The thick lightning was many times stronger than Wan Lei's Heavenly Punishment, causing everyone who saw it to be terrified!
Wan Liuchuan's expression did not change, and he did not retreat at all. To everyone's astonishment, he flew up and met the Heavenly Tribulation head-on.
Boom!!!
A loud noise rang out, and Wan Liuchuan was blasted down. He quickly stabilized himself, staring at the tribulation clouds in the sky with high fighting spirit, and flew into the sky again.
Looking at the majestic lightning contained in the thunderclouds above, Wan Lei's heart itched unbearably.
So much lightning power, how great would it be if it were all mine? If I had it all, I could reach the Core Formation stage in one breath!
Wan Lei's heart was burning, but he didn't dare to join Wan Liuchuan in transcending the Heavenly Tribulation.
Firstly, because the Heavenly Tribulation was too fierce, it was a thunderbolt that could kill a lower-level Core Formation cultivator alive.
If he went in, the Heavenly Tribulation would inevitably become more violent, harming Wan Liuchuan and himself, because he couldn't withstand his share.
A greedy snake tries to swallow an elephant. Wan Lei still had some self-awareness about his strength.
Secondly, even if he could withstand it, he definitely couldn't. There were too many people watching around.
If he went to help Wan Liuchuan with the Heavenly Tribulation for no reason, even if he could pretend to just be there to be struck by lightning and not absorb it, he would probably be seen through by someone with ulterior motives.
After all, why would you, Wan Lei, want to help Wan Liuchuan transcend the Heavenly Tribulation for no reason? Either you want to harm Wan Liuchuan, or you have other plans.
Wan Lei looked at Wan Liuchuan's figure transcending the tribulation, feeling depressed and lost in thought, sighing that it was a pity to see so much lightning but not be able to eat it.
This feeling was like a ripe, red, and juicy beauty standing in front of Wan Lei, but he was tied up tightly.
No, the temptation of a beauty to Wan Lei was not as strong as the power of lightning!
Wan Lei, who was sighing at the lightning, began to become active in his mind.
I can't help others transcend the Heavenly Tribulation now, but what about when I become stronger in the future? If I help others transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, then I can harvest two portions of the Heavenly Tribulation's lightning power. Wouldn't my cultivation improve by leaps and bounds then? Just like helping Sui Xiaohang transcend the Heavenly Punishment.
Moreover, this way I can also do good deeds, accumulate merit, increase luck, and saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
If I could also collect some money, that would be great. After all, I'm saving the lives of those who are transcending the tribulation. I could collect spirit stones, collect magical treasures, collect cultivation techniques and divine abilities, collect lackeys, collect beauties…
It would be a win-win-win situation. With the Thunder Body in hand, I will have the world.
Wan Lei's thoughts became more and more active, thinking more and more, looking forward to the happy life of helping others transcend the Heavenly Tribulation in the future, and his saliva was drooling.
This idea, no, to be precise, Wan Lei's plan to improve his strength in the future, took root in his heart and became deeply ingrained.
Seeing Wan Lei's silly smile and drooling, Sui Xiaohang shivered.
"I say, Lei-shao, your sexual orientation is becoming more and more abnormal. You coveted this young master a few days ago, and now you're drooling while looking at Wan Liuchuan. Your thoughts are very dangerous."
"Get out of here, Wan Liuchuan is much better looking than you."
"Look, look, you're just abnormal. My God, you're the only descendant of your family. Your spear can't be used as a poop stirrer. Your father is still counting on you to carry on the family line."
Ignoring Sui Xiaohang's jokes, Wan Lei focused on watching Wan Liuchuan transcend the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Heavenly Tribulation is different from the Heavenly Punishment. The Heavenly Punishment is divided into nine times. The first eight times, there are nine thunderbolts, although they become stronger as they go on, but the strength is limited.
The Heavenly Tribulation, on the other hand, is only once in total, divided into nine waves. The first wave is one thunderbolt, the second wave is nine, and so on until the ninth wave, where a total of seventy-two thunderbolts strike down. Most Core Formation cultivators fail to transcend the tribulation because they are killed by this last wave of Heavenly Tribulation.
But Wan Liuchuan is Wan Liuchuan. For others, transcending the Heavenly Tribulation is extremely dangerous, but for Wan Liuchuan…
With his talent, with his more courageous in battle, even if the stronger his strength, the stronger the Heavenly Tribulation, he can still overcome it.
An hour later, the Heavenly Tribulation passed, and Wan Liuchuan's house was smashed to pieces, but he didn't care at all.
Looking at the dissipating tribulation clouds in the sky, feeling his own powerful strength, Wan Liuchuan was full of pride and laughed loudly.
"Duanmu Feng, if you were standing in front of me now, I could kill you with one punch!"
Wan Liuchuan clenched his fist, his eyes full of arrogance.
The people around looked at Wan Liuchuan and cheered for him.
Another Core Formation expert was added to the Wan Clan's Southern Prefecture, and everyone was very proud.
Wan Liuchuan flashed to Wan Lei, a cold and arrogant smile on his lips, and said:
"Lei-di, cultivate as soon as possible. If you can't break through to Core Formation before the heir competition, you won't be qualified to be my opponent."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, but their hearts were very excited.
One is the veteran genius, Wan Liuchuan, who has just broken through to Core Formation and is unparalleled in power.
The other is Wan Lei, who has always been regarded as a useless playboy, but has risen at an incredible speed in recent times.
These two are both geniuses of the Wan Clan's Southern Prefecture. A few days ago, they joined forces to create the myth of a Foundation Establishment cultivator killing a Core Formation cultivator.
Now they are opposed to each other, which makes the gossip fire in countless people around them burn fiercely, and their hearts to eat melons surged.
Everyone was looking forward to Wan Lei's answer.
Will he retreat at this point, say soft words and admit defeat? Or will he follow the etiquette of a large clan's disciple, humbly decline and then accept the challenge?
However, Wan Lei's answer was unexpected.
"Look at your pretentious look. Even if I don't break through to Core Formation, I can still beat you to the ground looking for your teeth. So what if you broke through to Core Formation? Why don't you go back to sleep after showing off? Are you looking for confidence here? Bah!"
Okay, he's still a playboy after all…
People lowered their heads in unison, quickly pretending not to know this rude bumpkin.
Wan Liuchuan's mouth twitched from being scolded, but fortunately, he had excellent self-cultivation and forcibly suppressed the urge to punch Wan Lei.
"Okay, since Lei-di is so confident, then let's meet at the heir competition. This foolish brother is looking forward to your performance."
Wan Liuchuan nodded to Wan Lei and went to greet the elders such as Wan Zhentian and Wan Xiaotian.
