1615 Does He Not Like… Women? (2)
Boom!
A thick lightning bolt fell from above, ready to blast the pills.
The blinding flash looked as if a dragon were about to engulf the dans.
At the same time, the bolt struck the green pillar of light.
However, the latter light released a concentrated burst of Force, which resisted the attack.
Boom!
A second lightning fell, sending sparks flying all over. It was much more horrifying than the first one.
Boom!
A third followed tightly behind, leaving no time for people to react.
The pillar of light produced by the pill refinement started to shake. It would probably be incapable of resisting for much longer.
“That light protection seems to be nearing its limit.” Zhuang Caixuan tilted her head and looked at the incoming lightning with a serious expression.
She didn’t know much about the process, but she could still feel the ominous might of the tribulation. A cosmos stage expert wasn’t capable of withstanding such a move.
“It should hold off to receive another lightning strike!” Clara frowned. “I just don’t know the pills’ grade he refined. The only thing I know is that the attacks become more dangerous.”
“Earl w.a.n.g is a celestial warrior… Can he handle such calamity?” The governor’s daughter was concerned.
“It’s hard to say. But he didn’t ask for support; that means he’s confident.” Clara’s eyes flashed.
The young hero looked up at the clouds with a calm expression. He had made many grandmaster level pills before, and was familiar with calamities. He could also tell how many bolts would fall depending on the light pillar’s intensity.
The third one had barely fallen, and the pillar formed by the pills was enough to withstand a fourth bolt.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to deal with the blasts himself. The more lightning the pills endured, the more beneficial it would be for the end result.
This tempering would bring out the latent medicinal effects and enable them to become… grandmaster seventh-level pills!
Boom!
The fourth lightning struck. It was loud, like the might of the heavens. Its power was already several times stronger than the previous one.
The entire defensive pillar was engulfed by lightning, forming a chain that wrapped itself around the column’s surface and caused explosions non stop. The pillar was shaking more violently.
“Earl w.a.n.g is really calm. He hasn’t made a move yet,” said Clara while clenching her fists. She then realized her palms were sweating.
Zhuang Caixuan didn’t say anything, only looking at the lightning in the sky. She was extremely worried.
Boom!
The fifth calamity lightning rushed down. The pillar seemed small in comparison. The onlookers’ expressions changed.
Right at that moment, a figure appeared in the sky and rushed to meet the ominous bolt.
Boom!
A ma.s.sive golden fist blasted forth and clashed with the lightning.
The horrifying bolt was stopped midair, unable to continue its descent. Lightning was shot from all directions, enveloping the figure.
Many people below stopped in their tracks, bewildered by the scene.
Boom!
The sixth lightning fell and struck the figure with full force. The energy seemed to be connected to the clouds, as if linked to the skies.
Boom!
A terrifying blade slashed with a yellow-colored glow, destroying the lightning’s momentum.
The thick bolt was split in half, and slowly dissipated.
Just as the blade glow was about to slice the clouds, a surge of lightning gathered once more, creating a seventh calamity bolt.
That was the last attack!
And the most terrifying!
This was especially the case since the trial involved multiple seventh-level grandmaster pills; it would obviously be much more powerful than the calamity of a single dan.
Lightning gathered and a dozen bolts darted from the dark clouds. They converged and blasted down to clash with the blade glow.
Crack!
A crisp sound was heard.
Clara and Zhuang Caixuan’s expressions changed. They saw the cracks forming on the yellow blade projection; it was about to shatter.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was another explosion, even louder than the calamity itself. It echoed throughout the skies.
“This is…” The two ladies were astounded. They looked towards the source of the sound.
The lightning had actually converged in the person’s hand, slowly forming an ancient battle spear.
There was a strange fluctuation. The energy weapon seemed to belong in an ancient battlefield.
“He’s stealing the tribulation’s power?” Clara was horrified.
Boom!
Just as Clara finished speaking, the lightning spear had already been thrown.
The weapon shot up into the sky with lightning power of its own, charging straight towards the source of the tribulation.
Bang!
At this time, the yellow blade projection gave out, shattering under the force.
The spear continued on its path, clas.h.i.+ng with the calamity.
Boom!
Explosions echoed in the sky while lightning blasted in all directions, filling the sky.
The lightning gradually faded away. The final bolt was stopped halfway.
The ominous clouds slowly parted and vanished after a while, as if they had never been there.
Light s.h.i.+ned down and everything was calm again!
The light pillar also disappeared shortly after, letting the pill’s fragrance waft to the surroundings; the aroma traveled a few kilometers with the Secondary Career Alliance as the center.
“It smells so good!”
“What is that pill?”
Many people looked at the alliance’s territory in surprise.
However, both the figure in the sky and the pills were gone. Many of the nearby alchemists wanted to have a look, but they couldn’t see what the person looked like; they could only feel disappointed about it.
It was an expert able to make grandmaster seventh-level pills. Meeting the person would be tremendously beneficial.
…
Outside the alchemy room—Zhuang Caixuan and Clara immediately looked at the door.
There was excitement in Clara’s eyes.
Grandmaster seventh-level pills!
Seven calamity lightning bolts. They were definitely grandmaster seventh-level pills!
An alchemist able to make such pills would have no trouble making a pill of a lesser grade.
The only problem was convincing him.
The door opened and a figure walked out. He was taken aback when he saw the red-haired lady beside Zhuang Caixuan.
Clara saw the young hero’s appearance and was surprised.
Earl w.a.n.g is even more outstanding than when I saw him in the live broadcast!
“Earl w.a.n.g, you succeeded in making the pills?” The governor’s daughter walked over right away. She had already seen the results, yet she couldn’t help but ask again.
“Yes.” The young hero nodded and looked at the other lady.
“She’s my friend. We happened to meet just now,” Zhuang Caixuan responded and made introductions.
“Let’s go.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded, not paying much attention to her. He didn’t wait for his guide to keep talking; he walked straight towards the other end of the corridor.
Zhuang Caixuan was stunned.
Clara froze as well.
This doesn’t look right!
Shouldn’t he ask some questions after being introduced to someone?
Besides, Clara was a mature and charming beauty. Any man would ask her a few questions upon meeting her.
Still, the young earl acted like he didn’t even see her. Does he not like… women?
