Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 4 Are You Going to Be Struck by Lightning Too?!
Wan Lei stopped eavesdropping and strode into the main hall.
Seeing Wan Lei enter, Wan Hongxin quickly composed himself, and said with a stern face, "Hmph, you're awake. Do you know who I am now?"
As soon as he said this, Wan Lei's confident and proud demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by awkwardness. He could only smile obsequiously, "I know, I know. My brain was just fried by lightning earlier."
"Hmph, you little brat, you wanted to be my father? See if I don't break your legs today!"
Wan Zhentian chuckled. Wan Hongxin, not knowing where he found a wooden stick, walked towards Wan Lei with an angry expression.
Wan Zhentian quickly tried to dissuade him, "Hey, Xin'er, don't be angry. Lei'er didn't mean it. After all, the child doesn't have much time left..."
Alas, yes, the child doesn't have much time left. In these final moments, he should let him do what he likes. He should be kinder to him, after all, he had been too focused on cultivation in the past and had neglected him too much.
Thinking of this, Wan Hongxin threw the stick in his hand, looked at Wan Lei with pity, and said, "Forget it, Lei'er, these days, eat whatever you want and do whatever you want."
Good heavens, he was practically handing him a death warrant.
Wan Lei's expression instantly became complicated.
"Lei'er, I suppose you heard what we were saying just now. You said that if you could survive the first one, you could survive the second and third. Do you have any confidence in that?"
Wan Zhentian looked at Wan Lei with suspicion.
"How could a little kid have a solution? He was just lucky to survive the first one. He can't possibly be lucky every time."
Wan Hongxin shook his head and said.
"Don't interrupt. Lei'er, tell me properly, how did you survive that Heavenly Tribulation, and how did you defeat Liu An?"
Wan Zhentian said kindly.
Wan Lei was shocked to hear this. Good heavens, he couldn't tell them that their grandson was actually dead and that he was the Thunder God, capable of absorbing lightning, could he? Or they would kill him!
No, as clever as he was, he would definitely be able to think of a countermeasure...
"Well, when I was about to be struck by lightning, a divine hammer descended from the sky and landed in my hands, helping me absorb a lot of lightning. That's why I managed to survive. As for Liu An, that was also the power of the divine hammer."
Wan Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead and told a lie.
Since you've already seen the Thunder God's Hammer anyway, might as well blame it on the Thunder God's Hammer.
"Oh? Let me see that hammer."
Wan Zhentian said, his eyes lighting up.
Without a second thought, Wan Lei took the hammer out of his storage bag and handed it to Wan Zhentian.
The moment Wan Zhentian took the hammer, he felt like he was holding a mountain, and it immediately slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.
"What a heavy hammer! What is it made of?"
Wan Zhentian and Wan Hongxin took turns trying to lift the Thunder God's Hammer, but neither of them could lift it at all. Even using all their cultivation, they couldn't budge it.
Just kidding, the Thunder God's Hammer was made from the core of an Asgardian planet. Without the soul of the Thunder God, no one could lift it.
"Lei'er, how are you able to lift it?"
Wan Hongxin asked suspiciously.
"I'm the master of this hammer," Wan Lei replied without thinking.
"This is a great opportunity. A divine hammer descended from the heavens, helping you survive the lightning tribulation and even recognizing you as its master.
Such a treasure will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of others. Lei'er, from now on, you will say that this hammer is a magical weapon given to you by your father. Never say that it fell from the sky," Wan Zhentian said.
Wan Lei still understood the principle that a common man is guilty of possessing a treasure.
"Xin'er, since this divine hammer can absorb lightning, then it means that external objects can also play a role in dealing with the Heavenly Tribulation. Go and collect magical weapons and materials that can absorb lightning."
The old Clan Master instructed Wan Hongxin.
"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely find the best Tribulation-Transcending items for Lei'er."
After saying that, Wan Hongxin looked at Wan Lei again and said, "Lei'er, you should also go to the city more, take more money, and if you find any good materials, buy them. Don't be afraid of the price, as long as they are useful."
Wan Lei couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. Just kidding, he was counting on absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to strengthen himself. What would he do with those things? It would affect his absorption.
However, he couldn't say it directly, so he could only take a lot of money and spirit stones and go out to buy materials.
Nanfu City was very large. After Wan Lei left the house, he wandered around, but didn't buy anything.
The main reason was that when those small vendors saw him, they acted as if they had seen a plague god, either lowering their heads and not daring to speak, or abandoning their stalls and running away.
It seemed that his bad reputation was indeed powerful. No, he had to change this phenomenon. He was a dignified Thunder God, wherever he went, he should be admired by all, how could he be hated?
Wan Lei walked and thought, suddenly, he felt a familiar aura above his head.
It was the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation gathering!
That's not right, his Heavenly Tribulation wouldn't descend until eight days later. Why was there a Heavenly Tribulation now?
The aura was wrong. The Heavenly Tribulation wasn't directed at him, someone else had triggered the Heavenly Tribulation.
Wan Lei looked at the bustling city center and thought that if the Heavenly Tribulation were to descend, countless innocent people would die. He must find the person who triggered the Heavenly Tribulation!
The aura of the Heavenly Tribulation was pointing north!
"Yo, Young Master Lei, you're awake! Brother, I've missed you so much!"
As Wan Lei looked up at the sky, a surprised voice came from not far to the north.
He looked down, and the figure carrying large and small bags in front of him really startled Wan Lei. The reason was none other than that this person was extremely ugly.
A face full of pockmarks, a large face, fat head and big ears, a garlic nose, coupled with a figure like a fat pig, was really disgusting.
Wan Lei tried hard to search his memory for information about this person, and soon remembered that this person was a fellow playboy who was as famous as himself.
He was the son of General Qiwei, Sui Potian, named Sui Xiaohang, who was known as one of the two great "talents" in Nanfu City along with him.
(睢, sui, pronounced the same as "although")
Someone like this playboy, according to his previous nature, he would have already sent down a Heavenly Tribulation to kill him.
But now, his most important thing was to absorb lightning as soon as possible to improve his strength, first in order to be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, and second in order to break through the void and return to the Moral Continent to seek revenge on Loki.
He didn't have the leisure to pay attention to this playboy.
Just as Wan Lei was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt that the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation was pointing towards the person in front of him.
Good heavens, brother, are you also going to be struck by lightning?
He was just worried about not having a place to find lightning, and the other party had actually delivered himself to his door.
"Young Master Lei, I heard that you were struck by a Heavenly Tribulation. My dad said that there are nine Heavenly Tribulations, so I quickly searched the entire city for lightning protection items to send to you," Sui Xiaohang said, raising the large and small bags in his hands.
