Chapter 16 Ferryman of Heavenly Tribulation

"Ferryman of Heavenly Tribulation…"

Tian Suanzi muttered to himself.

He had never heard of this occupation before. Judging from the name, it seemed to be someone who specialized in helping people cross the Heavenly Tribulation.

Someone actually does this kind of high-risk job?

Are they crazy from poverty?!

Tian Suanzi looked at Wan Lei, "You're the grandson of the Wan Clan's Southern Prefecture Lord, after all. Are you so poor that you have to do this?"

"Damn, do you think I'm rich? My grandfather and my dad are both particularly upright and incorruptible. My family is poor.

Also geniuses, Duanmu Ao leaves me eight hundred streets behind. It’s a pity that Wan’s number one genius has to go out to work to make money, and it’s such a high-risk job. My life is bitter."

Wan Lei sighed, his face full of bitterness.

His self-pitying appearance made Qi Yao giggle.

Sui Xiaohang couldn't stand it any longer and shouted loudly, "Stop pretending. You used to collect so much wealth from the people.

Besides, who admits that you are Wan's number one genius? Self-proclaimed, right?

Your Wan Clan's number one genius is too worthless. It used to be your dad, then Wan Liuchuan, and now it's you.

Bah, wholesale, right?”

"Shut up. If Manyao Yao admits that I am the number one genius, then I am. Do I need you to talk so much?"

Wan Lei glared at Sui Xiaohang fiercely.

Hearing the disgusting and nauseating name "Manyao Yao", the other three almost vomited on the spot.

Qi Manyao was even more ashamed and angry, and glared at Wan Lei fiercely with her beautiful eyes.

Wan Lei was finding this silly girl, Qi Manyao, more and more interesting, especially when she was ashamed and angry, she looked particularly good.

But he couldn't appreciate it for long, as Tian Suanzi's fourth Heavenly Tribulation had already descended.

A total of fifty-four lightning bolts struck down.

That's right, fifty-four.

Logically speaking, Tian Suanzi's fourth Heavenly Tribulation should have been twenty-seven, but because of Wan Lei's participation, the Heavenly Tribulation also…

Doubled!

Wan Lei shouted loudly, raised the Thunder God's Hammer, and used the Thunder God's authority to guide all those lightning bolts to himself.

Boom!!!

With a loud thunderclap, Wan Lei was heavily blasted to the ground by the violent power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Wan Lei knelt on one knee, his left hand on his left knee, his right hand supporting his body with the Thunder God's Hammer, his head lowered and his eyes closed.

"So…so pretentious."

Sui Xiaohang looked at Wan Lei's arrogant and silent posture and couldn't help but exclaim.

In fact, Wan Lei was not pretending at all. At this time, he had unspeakable suffering.

This Heavenly Tribulation was the Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation, and it was doubled. Even with his current mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and his tempered Thunder Body, he was still injured.

After all, the Heavenly Tribulation was descending according to the level of the early stage of Core Formation, while his Heavenly Punishment was only descending according to the intensity that could kill cultivators in the upper stage of Foundation Establishment.

Naturally, they were not the same.

It was equivalent to Wan Lei resisting the intensity of two early-stage Core Formation Heavenly Punishments.

Of course, the improvement this brought him was by no means comparable to Heavenly Punishment.

Wan Lei desperately absorbed the lightning power entering his body, but still, his stomach was only so big, and he could only eat so much when he was full.

The Heavenly Tribulation power he absorbed was less than ten percent of the energy with which the Heavenly Tribulation struck him.

Wan Lei was heartbroken. He had already been struck by such heavy lightning, but he couldn't eat it. It was such a waste…

Wasting food is shameful!

Tian Suanzi on the side was already stunned.

He was in the early stage of Core Formation, and he had only barely survived the third Heavenly Tribulation. How could Wan Lei be able to withstand the fourth wave of lightning tribulation with his upper stage Foundation Establishment cultivation?

And it was a double portion of lightning tribulation?!

This was equivalent to…

"Lei-shao, do you now have the strength of the early stage of Core Formation?"

Tian Suanzi asked cautiously.

Wan Lei smiled when he heard this. Indeed, with his current combat power, if he were to face Duanmu Feng again, he could defeat him by himself.

He indeed had the strength to fight against cultivators in the early stage of Core Formation.

But there were also differences between Core Formation cultivators.

He dared to guarantee that he could defeat Duanmu Feng, but could he guarantee that he could defeat Wan Liuchuan now?

Both were cultivators in the early stage of Core Formation.

If he were to face Wan Liuchuan at this time, he would not even have half a chance of winning.

"I can help you cross the Heavenly Tribulation not because I have the strength of the early stage of Core Formation, but because my foundation is solid, and your foundation is unstable."

Wan Lei looked at Tian Suanzi, "Think about it, when I was in the lower stage of Foundation Establishment, I could easily defeat experts in the upper stage of Foundation Establishment. Now that I have the strength of the upper stage of Foundation Establishment, I dare to fight against experts in the lower stage of Core Formation.

This is really because my foundation is solid, like a building. First, lay a solid foundation before you can build high.

But even so, I don't want to cross my Heavenly Tribulation now, because my foundation is not solid enough.

I will wait until I have the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, when the Foundation Establishment is completely completed, and when the foundation platform is completely solid, before I try to break through to Core Formation."

Speaking of this, Wan Lei shook his head and sighed at Tian Suanzi, "And you, your foundation is not solid, and your combat power is not strong. You are only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and you have not even reached Great Perfection. You forcibly take pills to break through to Core Formation.

Isn't this courting death? The worse your aptitude is, the more you need to stay in Foundation Establishment for a few more years, thoroughly solidify your foundation, and then try to break through to Core Formation.

You are eager for quick success and instant benefit, thinking that you will be foolproof with the Xuan Yuan Pill, but in reality, it is almost like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Once the Heavenly Tribulation comes, your Golden Core will be like a house with an unstable foundation, crumbling and even collapsing."

After hearing Wan Lei's words, Tian Suanzi was ashamed and stood up quickly, cupping his fist and saying, "After hearing your words, I know that I have lived in vain for so many years. I didn't expect Lei-shao to be so young and have such a state of mind. You really have the potential of a great power."

"Stop flattering me and just add more money later."

“……”

At this time, the fifth wave of Heavenly Tribulation crashed down.

Wan Lei was once again blasted to the ground, and this time he was even more seriously injured.

But relatively speaking, he also absorbed a lot of lightning power, and the foundation platform in his dantian expanded a little.

But similarly, he still only absorbed less than ten percent of the lightning power, and the remaining ninety percent was wasted and entered the Lightning Refining Pool.

Wan Lei gritted his teeth in heartache, secretly thinking that it would be great if he had the cultivation of Core Formation. He wouldn't waste a single bit of this Heavenly Tribulation power.

He only hated that his cultivation was low and that his dantian couldn't hold so much lightning power.

At this time, although Wan Lei had bloody wounds all over his body, his cultivation was turbulent, and his blood vessels were throbbing, the pain on his body was not even one ten-thousandth of his heartache.

It was such a waste!

It was as uncomfortable as Wan Lei looking at the Lightning Refining Pool in front of him but not being able to absorb it all.

It was like a group of pirates, driving a ship, finding a treasure, but tragically discovering that their small ship could only carry so much, and they couldn't take away such a large treasure.
