The black tiger in the sky crouched in preparation to pounce. Its gaze locked onto the two children as it made the final adjustments to its charge. The tiger finally bared its teeth. The tiger lunged out of the clouds with a shudder. The moment it moved, thunderclouds in the sky dispersed, all of their power crashing to the ground along with the tiger!
The tiger hopped downward in a zigzag pattern, rushing at Wun Fan and Wun Siu Lan with unstoppable momentum.
Just as Wun Fan was about to take on the lightning with his own body, Siu Lan’s expression changed into one of cool indifference. She raised her hand and chanted softly, “The fifth flame, Endless Waters is its name, drowns all beneath the world and its thousand games.”
Lethality: Endless Weakwaters Flame.
A light blue flame ignited on her pale hand. As Wun Siu Lan raised her hand, a flood of water surged out of the flame. The endless weakwater flame formed a barrier around the two of them, protecting them from the black lightning.
This was the first time Wun Siu Lan had used this flame. When she reached the advanced Martial Scholar realm, three flames of different colors suddenly appeared in her martial heart. At the same time, the specific ways of using these three flames also appeared in her mind. This was the advantage and power of exotic martial souls. While others with inferior martial souls are still learning new martial techniques, those with exotic martial souls will have already mastered their abilities.
The black lightning was devoured by the weakwater the instant they came into contact. The surges of black electricity were converted into a massive amount of energy. The weakwater pacified this energy and purified it into aether, which was then returned to Wun Siu Lan’s body.
After a few seconds, Wun Fan saw that Wun Siu Lan’s face had turned bright red. She appeared to be completely concentrated and enduring terrible pain. He immediately asked out of concern, “What is it, Siu Lan?”
Wun Siu Lan opened her eyes slightly and puffed her red cheeks. She raised her nose and said, “I…can’t absorb all this energy.”
The Endless Weakwaters Flame only served the function of a buffer. It prevented the black lightning’s power from erupting all at once and bought time for her to absorb its energy for her own use.
She had just finished speaking when the Spiritstartler Ring in Wun Fan’s right thumb started vibrating. It replied to Wun Siu Lan’s words with an intent of thirst and hunger. It wanted to move Wun Fan’s hand toward Siu Lan’s hand.
“What’s going on?” Wun Fan didn’t know what was going on and wasn’t sure what to do, so he followed the Spiritstartler Ring’s desire and placed his hand on Wun Siu Lan’s pulse. The energy of the black lightning, which had been bottling up inside of her with nowhere to go, instantly surged into Wun Fan’s right hand like a burst dam. The Spiritstartler Ring was more than happy to welcome this energy surge and absorbed everything.
“Ouch!” The massive amount of pure energy continued to rush into Wun Fan’s thumb, causing tremendous strain on his bone. It felt like the bone in his thumb would be crushed to pieces at any moment. The surge of energy also caused his thumb to swell to several times its original size. From a distance, it almost looked like he was holding a popsicle in his hand.
“Ugh…ugh…” Wun Fan moaned softly and in pain. He stabilized his right hand with his left and dealt with the recoil from the powerful surges of pure aether.
The tiger continued to roar. The black lightning tiger had been trapped inside Wun Siu Lan’s Endless Weakwaters Flame and was completely unable to retaliate. It seemed so much less threatening than when it prowled the sky earlier. If it was a tiger before, it was now little more than a housecat. Minutes passed by in an instant and the black tiger’s energy had been worn down by the blue fire, reduced to nutrients for the young master and young mistress of the Wun Clan.
Most of the energy transferred to Wun Fan’s thumb was absorbed by the Spiritstartler Ring, leaving Wun Fan with nothing else.
Of course, the Spiritstartler Ring had already given Wun Fan what he needed most earlier.
Meanwhile, as Siu Lan continued to absorb the black lightning’s power, her own power continued to grow. She became a peak Martial Scholar. A ten-year-old girl now had more power than most of the adults in her clan. How were those adults supposed to feel if they knew?
The black tiger’s body grew smaller and smaller. It no longer had the strength to roar. It slowly vanished inside Wun Siu Lan’s Endless Weakwaters Flame. In the end, of the seven lightning dominions, only the first five inflicted any severe damage on Wun Fan.
The Seven Lightning Dominions was supposed to be an inescapable death sentence. However, they had survived it with hardly a scratch!
The great elder, Wun Ching Yeung and the third elder felt like they were dreaming as they watched the thunderclouds scatter. The third elder couldn’t help but pinch his thigh, only accepting that it was reality when he found that it hurt. On the other hand, Wun Ching Yeung couldn’t help but cry when he saw Wun Fan come back to life in a miracle. He didn’t know the reason behind it and neither did the great elder, seeing how confused he also appeared to be. As such, he made up his mind to ask Wun Fan or that mysterious stranger later.
Wun Siu Lan dispelled her blue flames as well upon seeing the clouds vanish. She wiped away the blood on her forehead. It was getting into her eyes. She puffed her cheeks and glared at Wun Fan angrily as she scolded him, “Wun Fan, you had best explain yourself to me! What the hell were you doing?”
Wun Fan knew that he had caused a massive commotion and troubled a lot of people. He made everyone worry for him and felt really bad for doing that. For a moment, he lowered his head and didn’t dare answer Wun Siu Lan’s question.
The girl might be scolding him, but there was only love behind her reprimanding words. The boy felt only warmth in his heart to listen to her harsh words. One person had just gone through the biggest heartbreak of her life, the other had been reborn anew. The two looked deeply into each others’ eyes and refused to look away.
Even Wun Ching Yeung, standing far away in the distance, could sense this atmosphere. He couldn’t help but be a little troubled. Even though the two children were not related by blood, they were still siblings by name. Martial artists had always placed a lot of emphasis on proprieties and courtesies. How could they accept these two kids doing whatever they wanted?
Before Wun Ching Yeung could interrupt their romantic moment, Old Lei’s voice boomed in the air, “Kids, stop your flirting! The aura tribulation is coming. Hurry up and separate. You can talk later.”
The two of them immediately snapped back to their senses after hearing Old Lei’s words. Wun Siu Lan knew that the old man was on Wun Fan’s side and didn’t doubt his words for a moment. She immediately kicked the ground and leaped several meters away to prepare for the aura tribulation.
“Wun Fan,” Old Lei called out to the boy, who turned back to look at him. Old Lei pulled a green thread out of his forehead and flicked it at Wun Fan. The green thread quickly burrowed into Wun Fan’s mind like a worm and a flood of information filled his mind.
Aura tribulations.
Unlike lightning tribulations, aura tribulations were a test of one’s martial soul. To awaken the martial soul, you must fight against the aura tribulation and drag it into your Wind Mansion Point to form the martial heart. As for how you’re supposed to drag something like that? There’s only one word to remember: endure.
Those who face aura tribulations only have to endure the energy assaulting their body and patiently direct the power to their Wind Mansion Point. Once the Wind Mansion Point is filled, the martial soul is formed and becomes the martial heart!
Old Lei knew that Wun Siu Lan had already gone through an aura tribulation. She had experience and he didn’t need to provide her with any information.
While Wun Fan was digesting the information in his head, two formless, shapeless and soundless surges of energy gathered in the sky. You could only sense its existence, but not see, nor hear nor smell it.
“It’s coming,” Wun Ching Yeung balled his fists and stared at the two children in the field. He was immensely nervous. His heart was pounding in his throat. He was really worried if this was truly the end. Would the two of them really be finished once they had dealt with the aura tribulation?
Especially in the case of Wun Fan, with his Seven Lightning Dominions and his martial soul…
Three completely different auras emanated from the sky above Wun Siu Lan’s head. One aura contained the aspect of rot and decay, murderous in nature; one contained overwhelming life force that bordered on the edge of the unnatural, full of life; while the last one had a quality of endlessness and ceaselessness, a dark tide that surged with the viscosity of quicksand, a force of assimilation.
These three auras each had their own powers. They were intertwined, yet at the same time independent.
It was for the best that these powers were separated.
Wun Siu Lan was incredibly prideful, but even she had a serious expression on her face when she was dealing with these auras. The three auras were no ordinary aura tribulation. Any slight mistake and she could die. Wun Siu Lan glanced at Wun Fan and her will to live became even stronger. Desire always makes one stronger!
“Roar!!!”
Suddenly, a dragon’s roar erupted nearby, causing waves in the nearby lake. Everyone felt their ears hurt. Some of the weaker shadow guards even covered their ears immediately.271Please respect copyright.PENANAHWRGOj6DFj
