Chapter 173: I Will Kill Whoever Bullies Yu Huang!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sheng Xiao rushed out from the debris. He and Black Qing Sky Dragon were split into two once again. They descended from the sky with a sword in one hand.
Sheng Xiao stood upside down on top of Xuanyuan Chen. The tip of his sword was three inches above Xuanyuan Chen’s head. He looked at Xuanyuan Chen coldly.
Xuanyuan Chen subconsciously knelt down. He slowly raised his head and saw the sword hanging above his head, as well as the cold eyes of the sword wielder. His breathing instantly became hurried.
“Senior, Senior Sheng, I-I lost.” Xuanyuan Chen had the feeling that Sheng Xiao would behead him if he did not admit defeat.
“Tell your master, Xuanyuan Shen, that if he dares to take revenge on Yu Huang, I will kill the number one genius of the Xuanyuan clan!” Sheng Xiao put away his sword and flew out of the ring on his sword.
Xuanyuan Chen watched him fly away with a bitter expression.
‘Was this how Sheng Xiao was really like?
He was arrogant and brazen.
Xuanyuan Chen put away his Demon-Slaying Saber and stood up slowly. He said to the referee, “Xuanyuan Chen versus Sheng Xiao. Xuanyuan Chen lost!” This was the 56th time he lost to Sheng Xiao. It was indeed embarra.s.sing.
Seeing Xuanyuan Chen’s pale face, the referee patted his shoulder sympathetically and said, “Child, you will graduate next year. Bear with it a few more times and you will graduate.”
He might as well not have been comforted.
The battle between Sheng Xiao and Xuanyuan Chen had ended. It meant that the compet.i.tions had ended completely.
The students walked towards the flying platform in twos and threes. They sat on the birds and just as they flew into the sky, they realized that the white clouds above them had suddenly turned into dark clouds.
Dark clouds loomed overhead with lightning flashing. It was unnerving.
“What’s going on?!”
Professor Mu, who was flying at the front, noticed the change in the sky. She quickly raised her right hand and ordered, “Stop!”
Upon hearing Professor Mu’s command, the bird trainer lowered his head and whispered in the bird’s ear at the same time. The birds all stopped upon receiving the bird trainer’s order.
More than a thousand birds were hovering in the sky and prohibited from moving forward. This was a scene that could only be seen in science fiction movies.
“professor Mu, why did the weather suddenly change?”
Professor Mu looked up at the dark clouds overhead. She tilted her head and said to Professor Zhong, who was on another bird, “Professor Zhong, look at the phenomenon in the sky. Doesn’t it look like tribulation lightning?”
Everyone was shocked.
That deep valley could reduce the power of tribulation lightning.
Professor Zhong’s last breakthrough came suddenly and she was caught off guard. That was why she was baptized by the lightning tribulation in the school field.
‘As soon as she heard the words ‘tribulation lightning’, Professor Zhong trembled in fear. She immediately recalled the terrifying experience of being struck by tribulation lightning that day.
She seemed to smell her own flesh being burnt by lightning.
Drops of rain fell from the dark clouds. Professor Zhong caught a drop of rain and sniffed it.
She could indeed smell the scent of tribulation lightning.
Professor Zhong looked at Professor Mu, nodded, and told her, “This is indeed the aura of tribulation lightning.”
“Is it really the Tribulation Lightning? Who’s going to advance again?” Usually, when Beast Tamers were about to advance, they would head to the Divine Realm Academy’s Lightning Tribulation Valley in advance to enter seclusion.
Everyone looked around and realized that other than the dean who was in seclusion, everyone else was here.
Gold Ingot said, “All the professors and faculty are here. I see that the lightning tribulation is heading towards the academy. Could it be that a student is going to undergo tribulation?”
After saying that, Gold Ingot’s expression suddenly changed. “Could it be Yu Huang?!” However, Yu Huang was still at the intermediate-stage of the Scholar realm. There was no reason for her to get the lightning tribulation of a Master at this moment.
“Is it Sheng Xiao?”
“That’s even more impossible. Sheng Xiao is a beginner-stage Supreme Master.”
“Then who could it be?”
Suddenly, Professor Zhong’s expression changed and she exclaimed, “It’s Xuanyuan Jing!”
Xuanyuan Jing?
Gold Ingot slapped her thigh and said with an ambivalent expression, “That kid’s cultivation suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds two days ago. He’s already at the peak of a late-stage Scholar. Maybe he’s really going to undergo tribulation.”
Professor Zhong nodded and said, “When I examined Xuanyuan Jing last night, I found a chaotic and violent energy in his body. I only thought that it was because he was severely injured that the energy was in disorder. Who knew that he was going to undergo tribulation!”
The professors’ words were heard by the other students, and it caused a heated discussion among the third grade Combat Department students.
“A few days ago, Xuanyuan Jing was clearly still at the late stage of the Scholar realm. He disappeared for a day or two and when he reappeared, he was already at the peak of the late stage. How did his cultivation rise so quickly?”
“Could he have used some unorthodox method?”
Lin Qingqing subconsciously retorted, “What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Seeing that silly girl Lin Qingqing was still defending Xuanyuan Jing, Zheng Kai couldn’t stand it anymore.
Zheng Kai reb.u.t.ted Lin Qingqing loudly, “What do you mean nonsense! Before the compet.i.tion, the person who told Yu Huang that he wouldn’t bring a support master was Xuanyuan Jing. In the end, the person who went back on his words was also Xuanyuan Jing. Xuanyuan Jing was afraid of Yu Huang’s
abilities and in order to defeat her, he purposely used unorthodox methods to raise his abilities. It’s not impossible!”
“You, you!” Lin Qingqing called him ‘you’ several times, but she couldn’t say anything to defend Xuanyuan Jing.
It was truly because Xuanyuan Jing’s actions yesterday were too despicable. Even Lin Qingqing couldn’t continue to defend Xuanyuan Jing.
‘As everyone was talking, they saw the dark clouds in the sky gathering above the Healing Department’s medical building. Seeing this, Professor Zhong said, “It really is Xuanyuan Jing.”
Professor Mu immediately ordered the bird manipulator behind her. “The power of the tribulation lightning is boundless. To avoid being affected, all the birds will immediately land. All students, protect yourselves!”
“Yes!”
After making the necessary arrangements, Professor Mu flew towards the Healing Department on her sword alone. Gold Ingot was worried about Yu Huang, so he flew over with Professor Zhong.
Sheng Yang could hear a strong wind blowing outside the window. When she opened her eyes, she saw dark clouds gathering outside the window. Lightning flashed.
It was going to rain soon?
At this moment, the lounge door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Sheng Xiao walked in with big strides and went straight to the bed. He pulled Yu Huang into his arms and said to Sheng Yang, “Leave the medical building now. Xuanyuan Jing is going to undergo his tribulation!”
Sheng Yang had personally witnessed the power of the tribulation lightning. Even a master like Professor Zhong was almost dead from it. She did not dare to stay in the medical building and wait to be struck.
Sheng Xiao and his sister brought Yu Huang to safety. It was quite b.u.mpy and Yu Huang woke up.
At that moment, they had already walked out of the medical building. When Yu Huang opened her eyes, she saw layers of dark clouds above her head. Thunder rumbled in the dark clouds, and it was terrifying.
“What is it?”
Sheng Xiao hugged her as they walked. “It’s tribulation lightning.”
Yu Huang guessed what was going on. “Xuanyuan Jing is going to undergo tribulation?”
Sheng Xiao nodded.
‘When he saw that the tribulation lightning was about to strike down, he felt that it was too slow to walk, so he simply let the flying machine fly and said to Sheng Yang, “Hug me!”
Sheng Yang grabbed her brother’s waist and jumped into the aircraft. The three of them flew to the field hundreds of meters away. Sheng Xiao sat on the field and let Yu Huang lean in his arms.
The three of them raised their heads and looked at the layers of dark clouds in the sky above the medical building. Their expressions were all very grave. Xuanyuan Jing was severely injured and now, he was facing tribulation for the master level. He was probably doomed.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Jing’s body was like a block of ice.
Ever since he was severely injured yesterday afternoon, the spirit energy in his body had become chaotic. The demonic energy that he had yet to successfully convert into spirit energy started to stir.
Demonic power flowed through his limbs and bones, as if it wanted to break out of his body and free itself.
Xuanyuan Jing was frustrated. If he had known that this demonic power was so overbearing, he wouldn’t have taken the risk.
Xuanyuan Jing clenched his fists and silently resisted the attacks of the demonic power. At this moment, dark clouds suddenly appeared outside the window. Lightning was running in the clouds and reflected on the window gla.s.s like the smile of a devil.
The energy in his body became violent, as if something terrifying was about to come. Xuanyuan Jing felt like his body was about to explode. As he looked at the dark clouds and thunderclaps in the sky, a terrifying conjecture suddenly popped up in his mind.
Could it be that he was going to break through to become a Master?
That level 6 Monster Core had actually helped him break through to the level of a Master!
Xuanyuan Jing was ecstatic!
But soon, his face turned pale.
He’d suffered a crushing defeat to Yu Huang yesterday, and his body had suffered heavy injuries that hadn’t healed yet. Now, the demonic energy within his body was protesting. Under such circ.u.mstances, how could he resist the might of the tribulation lightning?
Xuanyuan Jing panicked.
He clutched the sheet beneath him and struggled to his feet. He staggered toward the open door.
He could not sit back and do nothing!
He could not wait to die in the medical room!
Xuanyuan Jing picked up a broom and stumbled out of the medical room with it. He ran towards the field.
He thought that Professor Mu and the rest would definitely notice the abnormality here.
He was the young master of the Xuanyuan Clan. The school definitely would not watch him die! He had to run to the field and wait for help. He could not just sit there and wait for death!
In the sky, the tribulation lightning was about to take form, and the m.u.f.fled thunder became bursts of shocking thunder. The tribulation lightning kept following Xuanyuan Jing, and when it was fully formed, it would strike down at Xuanyuan Jing!
Xuanyuan Jing endured the pain in his body and ran to the field.
‘When Sheng Xiao saw Xuanyuan Jing running to the field, he lowered his head and scolded, “Idiot!” Then, he hugged Yu Huang with one hand and Sheng Yang with the other. He quickly summoned Black Qing Sky Dragon and hid ina safer place.
‘When he finally reached the field, Xuanyuan Jing no longer had the strength to run.
He threw away the broom and sat down cross-legged in the middle of the field. After sitting down, he did not circulate his spiritual power to resist the tribulation lightning. Instead, he opened his arms and shouted in the direction of Professor Mu and the others, “Professor Mu! Professor Mu, save me!”
Professor Mu and the rest quickly flew towards Xuanyuan Jing. When they were still six to seven hundred meters away from Xuanyuan Jing, the tribulation lightning was finally fully formed!
Boom!
A dragon-shaped tribulation lightning swooped down from the dark clouds. Its body was twenty feet thick!
Tribulation lightning was also something that adapted to the situation. During tribulation, the more powerful the energy in one’s body was, the more powerful it would be..
