Chapter 174 - A Jerk Will Really Be Killed By Lightning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xuanyuan Jing swallowed a level six Monster Core. The resentment in that Monster Core was huge, so the demonic power it produced was naturally majestic and strong, At this moment, in the eyes of the tribulation lightning, Xuanyuan Jing was just a walking energy body that was extremely plump and

delicious.

The lightning tribulation was twenty feet wide, and it was even more powerful than the lightning tribulation that Professor Zhong had triggered that day. Professor Mu and the others, not daring to approach the lightning tribulation, all cautiously stopped.

That was tribulation lightning that could severely injure even the principal!

Xuanyuan Jing saw Professor Mu and the rest stop and knew that they had abandoned him.

Xuanyuan Jing cursed with bloodshot eyes. “You are all a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites! All these years, the Xuanyuan Clan has given Divine Realm Academy many benefits. Is this how you repay us?”

Professor Mu was a Grand Master, yet he was called a hypocrite by Xuanyuan Jing. Professor Mu, who had originally planned to risk his life to fight the lightning tribulation for him, was also angry now, so he simply stood far away to watch the commotion.

Who didn’t withstand a tribulation with their own abilities?

In this world, there were many Beast Tamers who had fallen because of tribulations.

If he died, it would be because of his own competence.

Xuanyuan Jing saw that Professor Mu was really going to stand by and do nothing, and his heart was filled with despair. He hurriedly took out many defensive treasures from his interspatial ring. Xuanyuan Jing placed all of them above his head while hoping that they could help him take away some of the

power of the tribulation lightning.

After doing all of this, Xuanyuan Jing hurriedly released his beast form protective shield and raised his head to look at the sky while revealing a look of despair and fear.

Boom!

The tribulation lightning swooped down and struck Xuanyuan Jing’s head.

Bang! Bang!

The treasures used by Xuanyuan Jing to block the attacks instantly tuned into nothingness under the tribulation lightning.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jing closed his eyes in despair.

Crack!

The tribulation lightning shattered Xuanyuan Jing’s protective shield!

After losing all his protection, Xuanyuan Jing’s corporeal body was instantly struck by the tribulation lightning, His black hair stood on end, and his skin and flesh were torn apart. His clothes were also tattered.

He had never been in such a sorry state before.

Xuanyuan Jing collapsed to the ground with his last breath. He opened his eyes and saw Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang standing in the sky.

Seeing him in such a sorry state, Yu Huang should be happy.

Heh.

There was only one tribulation lightning for the Master level, so the tribulation lightning left after striking Xuanyuan Jing.

In the sky, Sheng Yang was frightened by what she saw. She grabbed Sheng Xiao’s sleeve tightly and murmured, “I used to hear that scumbags would be struck by lightning. This is the first time I’ve seen a scumbag being struck by lightning.”

Yu Huang stared at Xuanyuan Jing and also felt that this was ridiculous. Who would have thought that Xuanyuan Jing would actually get his punishment when he was severely injured?

Seeing that the tribulation lightning had ended and the sky was gradually clearing up, Professor Mu flew to the field with Professor Zhong.

Professor Zhong hurriedly fed a high-grade healing medicine to Xuanyuan Jing. Xuanyuan Jing hurriedly swallowed the healing medicine and glared at Professor Mu with hatred, as if saying, “Just you wait!”

Professor Mu frowned. He stood up and said to Professor Zhong, “Professor Zhong, please try your best to treat Student Xuanyuan. I will inform the patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan and tell him that Xuanyuan Jing suffered from lightning tribulation. His injuries are severe and he needs to go home to rest

for a few months.”

It was good that he didn’t die.

Professor Zhong lowered her head and said, “Okay.”

Professor Zhong examined Xuanyuan Jing and noticed that there was a lingering demonic power in his body. He instantly guessed what was going on with this brat’s sudden increase in cultivation.

She sat down cross-legged to treat Xuanyuan Jing’s injuries and successfully saved his life. Her face also showed signs of fatigue. “Alright, Xuanyuan Jing, rest well for a few months and you will recover.”

Xuanyuan Jing thanked Professor Zhong weakly.

Professor Zhong stared at Xuanyuan Jing for a long time before saying, “Child, listen to my advice. If you don’t want your cultivation to stop here, don’t be in a hurry to continue raising your cultivation. Even though Monster Cores can help people raise their cultivation quickly, demonic power is still an

external force. Using external forces to raise your cultivation isn’t the right path of cultivation.”

Seeing that Professor Zhong had seen through his secret, Xuanyuan Jing was a little embarrassed. He didn’t quibble and only said with a muffled voice, “Thank you for your warning, Professor Zhong.”

“TIl take you to bed.”

Xuanyuan Jing was too injured to leave, so Professor Zhong personally carried him back to the medical room.

Sheng Xiao sent Yu Huang back to the medical room.

Sheng Xiao sat by the bed and covered Yu Huang with a blanket. Seeing that Sheng Yang was still there, Sheng Xiao said to her, “It’s time to eat. Go and eat.”

Sheng Yang knew that Sheng Xiao was going to chase her away. She asked Yu Huang, “Yu Huang, what do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

Yu Huang was about to reply when Sheng Xiao said, “I’l serve it to her later.”

Sheng Yang stuck out her tongue and jogged away.

Sheng Xiao heard footsteps coming from the corridor. He knew that they were people who went to visit Xuanyuan Jing.

He closed the door before returning to Yu Huang’s bedside. “From what Professor Zhong said, Xuanyuan Jing took the risk to absorb the power of the Monster Core in order to defeat you.”

Yu Huang was puzzled. She told Sheng Xiao, “My wings were obtained by absorbing the Monster Core of the Vermilion Bird. I absorbed the Monster Core too. Why didn’t I experience the same thing as him?”

Sheng Xiao thought for a while and said, “Maybe it’s because his heart is not calm. The Monster Core is domineering to begin with. If a person is agitated and uses the Monster Core to increase their cultivation level, they might suffer a backlash from the demonic power.”

“Isee.”

The room suddenly became quiet. Sheng Xiao found something to say. “Professor Zhong has seen your face. She thinks that your face was not burned by ordinary flames.”

Yu Huang was slightly stunned when she heard this.

She was a smart person and immediately understood everything. “So the person who set me on fire was a Beast Tamer who can control fire.”

“Yeah.”

“Does that mean that my face can’t be restored?” Yu Huang touched her bumpy face and felt somewhat disappointed.

Sheng Xiao could not bear to see her sad. So, he told her, “Professor Zhong told me that there is a kind of baby fish in Cong Lang Mystic Realm. This kind of fish can give birth to new flesh and blood. I will go to Cong Lang Mystic Realm to hunt baby fish for you.”

“Cong Lang Mystic Realm?” Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao. “Where is it?”

“This mystic realm appears randomly once every 15 years. Cong Lang Mystic Realm should reappear next October.”

Yu Huang asked again, “Can anyone enter the mystic realm?”

“Of course, there are requirements,” Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang. “The Cong Lang Mystic Realm was built by a Beast Tamer named Prime Master Cong Lang. He was a Space Beast Tamer. He hid all his treasures and techniques in the Cong Lang Mystic Realm.”

“Due to the limited space of the mystic realm, it could not accommodate too many people at once. Therefore, when the mystic realm opened, only three thousand people were allowed to enter. The one hundred universities on the Holy Spirit Continent took up one thousand spots. The remaining two

thousand spots belonged to the various large family clans and individual cultivators. In the past years, in order to compete for the qualifications to enter the Cong Lang Mystic Realm, everyone fought to the death.”

Yu Huang couldn’t help but find it strange. She said, “These 3,000 people couldnt all be aiming for cultivation techniques and treasures, right?”

After all, with the large cultivation families involved, it was impossible for the secret cultivators to obtain these treasures and cultivation techniques.

Even so, everyone still insisted on fighting to the death to enter the mystic realm. Presumably, this mystic realm had other outstanding aspects.

“They are after the Spirit Gathering Tree.”

“spirit Gathering Tree?” This was the blind spot of Yu Huang’s knowledge again. “What is a Spirit Gathering Tree?”

Sheng Xiao said, “After some of the Prime Masters died, a Spirit Gathering Tree would grow in the place where their bodies were buried. The tree was filled with the Prime Master’s spiritual energy. The Spirit Gathering Tree is rich in spiritual energy. One month of cultivation there is equivalent to three

years in the outside world. Therefore, most people fight for the spot because of the Spirit Gathering Tree.”

After the introduction, Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang, “Do you want to go?”

However, Yu Huang said, “Why is it that only a portion of the Prime Masters will give birth to a Soul Tree after they die?”

Sheng Xiao was stunned by her question. He did not know the real reason but he did not want Yu Huang to think that he was ignorant. So, he said, “This… might be a matter of probability.”

Yu Huang said, “It shouldn’t be a matter of probability. There must be another reason.”

“Of course there’s another reason.” The voice came from outside.

They both turned to look at the door.

The closed door was pushed open from the outside. Gold Ingot strode in. Sheng Xiao quickly stood up from the bed and bowed to Gold Ingot. “Professor.”

Gold Ingot pulled a stool over and sat down. “Have a seat.”

There was no other stool in the room. Sheng Xiao sat back on the bed.

Gold Ingot stared at Yu Huang for a moment and confirmed that she was in a good state of mind. Only then did he relax.

“professor.” Yu Huang blinked at Gold Ingot and said, “I won.”

Gold Ingot snorted and said, “Do you still want me to praise you?” He clicked his tongue twice and said disdainfully, “Look at how pathetic you look. You’re embarrassing me!”

Yu Huang rolled her eyes.

Gold Ingot took out a box of sparkling light purple fruits from his snack pocket. He handed the box of fruits to Yu Huang and told her, “This is a specialty of the elves. It’s called Moondew Fruit. It’s a fruit that grows from absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. Eating it will help you heal your injuries.

This thing is only for the royal family of the elves to eat. Eat and cherish it.”

Yu Huang was flattered. “Thank you, Professor.”

Gold Ingot harrumphed and crossed his legs before telling them, “There is only one type of person who will only give birth to a Spirit Gathering Tree after their cultivation reaches the Prime Master.”

Sheng Xiao asked, “What kind?”

Gold Ingot glanced at Yu Huang before saying, “Someone who has comprehended the power of the Divine Master.”

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were stunned.

“Tsee.

Gold Ingot felt uncomfortable when he didn’t eat. He took out a bag of dried figs from his snack bag and said while biting, “Those who can comprehend the power of the Divine Master are all people with the potential to become a Divine Master, but these people all failed in the end. After they died, their

remains would turn into a Spirit Gathering Tree to be fed to the future generations.”

Yu Huang was silent for a long while before she said, “If I die in the future, then bury me in the Divine Realm Academy. After I transform into a Spirit Gathering Tree, students can cultivate under the Spirit Gathering Tree every day.”

Then, she smiled. Gold Ingot and Sheng Xiao did not respond.
