319: Thunderclouds rolled

At this moment, far more than just Jiang Shuwan's group were paying attention to the movements of the two.

People from the Bai and Zhang families, everyone from the Feng Residence including Feng Da, Chun Tao, and Madam Hua, and even many contestants within the trial grounds were watching closely.

Even Lu Qianqian had given up on searching for heaven ranking tickets. On one hand, she was worried about Feng Ming; on the other hand, the Trial was nearing its end, very few heaven ranking tickets remained, and the rankings were basically fixed. She simply set off to meet up with everyone outside the Weak Water Pool.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day.

Outside the Weak Water Pool, Jiang Shuwan and the others were incredibly nervous. The map showed that Feng Ming and Zhang Bai had arrived at the edge of the pool and could emerge at any time.

Just as everyone was waiting with bated breath, thunderclouds suddenly rolled across the sky. Deafening roars echoed incessantly as a doomsday-like pressure swept over them, and the phenomenon only intensified with no sign of dissipating.

“This... is someone about to undergo a tribulation?” Zhao Peng cried out in shock.

Qin Hu's eyes widened even further: “Look! It's Zhang Bai and Brother Feng! Brother Feng... he's rushing over there!”

“Is he crazy! The thunderclouds are clearly aimed at Zhang Bai, how does Second Brother dare to approach?” Feng Mian's expression changed drastically. “Once you get tainted by someone else's Lightning Tribulation, it will surely bring disaster upon yourself!”

Jiang Shuwan's heart was in her throat as she stared fixedly at the two figures in the air by the pool's edge.

In mid-air, Zhang Bai looked at Feng Ming rushing toward him and roared in despair: “Are you fucking sick! You've chased me the whole way, and you still dare to come over?”

“I've chased you the whole way just for this moment! You think you can just tell me not to come?” Feng Ming's eyes sparkled. After five days of pursuit, this was the moment he had been waiting for.

The two had reached the edge of the Weak Water Pool. Under the pressure of the overwhelming Lightning Tribulation, even the Weak Water in the pool paled in comparison, its surface turned pitch black by the reflection of the thunderclouds. Feng Ming discovered with even greater surprise that as the thunderclouds loomed, the no-fly rule within the Weak Water Pool began to crumble, and the suppression of Mental Energy rapidly receded. The power of the Lightning Tribulation was actually countering the bizarre rules of the Weak Water.

Zhang Bai also noticed this and immediately soared into the sky, wanting to shake off Feng Ming and prevent him from interfering with his tribulation.

But how could Feng Ming let him go? As soon as the Mental Energy suppression was lifted, his figure vanished instantly. When he reappeared, he was already blocking the path between Zhang Bai and the thunderclouds.

As if sensing someone interfering with the tribulation, the thunderclouds in the sky instantly became violent. Lightning crackled and exploded, and the pressure grew even stronger.

“Feng Ming! Are you fucking finished yet! I'm undergoing a tribulation, do you really want to die?” Zhang Bai's eyes were nearly splitting from rage, his roar carrying a slight tremor.

Feng Ming smiled slightly. “Don't worry, with me here, this is nothing.”

Zhang Bai: “...”

Inside the Quiet Garden, Jiang Qinghe watched the images on the light screen and stroked his beard while laughing loudly: “Good! What a Feng Ming! I truly didn't misjudge him. Not only does he have strategy, but he also has courage. Judging by the talent he displayed before, this lightning power seems somewhat like the Legacy of Senior Feng Lei.”

“Feng Lei?” Steward Jiang looked excited. “If that's really the case, then doesn't he have a limitless future? Then our Jiang Family...”

Jiang Qinghe nodded: “Most likely! Senior Feng Lei entered the Dao through lightning back then and was most skilled at controlling lightning. This method is unmatched by anyone except his Legacy!”

“The Jiang Family is truly blessed!” Steward Jiang praised repeatedly.

Jiang Qinghe instructed: “Send someone to notify Jiang Bing and have him tell the Bai Family to rest easy and wait. Feng Ming knows what he's doing and will definitely not let anything happen to Zhang Bai!”

“Yes!”

At this moment, the Zhang and Bai families were already in a state of chaos.

Upon learning that Feng Ming was going to forcibly interfere with Zhang Bai's tribulation, the members of the clans were all furious, wishing they could immediately rush into the Trial Grounds and tear Feng Ming into ten thousand pieces.

The Zhang and Bai families had spent countless efforts and resources to nurture a Genius like Zhang Bai; how could they allow him to mess around like this?

Fortunately, Madam Bai brought back the news in time. After some consolation and explanation, she managed to barely stabilize the situation and prevent everyone from taking impulsive actions.

The people outside watched with their hearts in their mouths, while the Cultivators within the trial grounds were also moved by the news, flocking toward the Weak Water Pool one after another, all wanting to witness this once-in-a-century spectacle with their own eyes.

But time waited for no one.

At the edge of the Weak Water Pool, the world had been completely shrouded by thunderclouds. It was so dark one couldn't see their own hand, and only the lightning that occasionally flashed across the sky could illuminate the surroundings for a brief moment.

Zhang Bai had long since given up resistance and floated quietly in mid-air, staring fixedly at Feng Ming above him. If looks could kill, Feng Ming would have already been drawn and quartered by him.

But Feng Ming acted as if nothing was wrong, instead smiling and comforting him: “Little Zhang, don't worry! With your Brother Feng holding things up, I guarantee you'll emerge from this tribulation safe and sound!”

“Hold up your damn ass! Feng Ming, I hope you get blasted into a Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering by the lightning!” Zhang Bai cursed frantically in his heart, but he no longer bothered to waste his breath, feeling that the person before him was a complete madman.

Just as Zhang Bai was secretly cursing, the Lightning Tribulation that had been brewing for five full days finally descended!

“Rumble—!”

A series of deafening roars resounded through the sky. A crack suddenly split open in the thunderclouds above, and within the crack, lightning arcs rolled. Countless bolts of white lightning actually liquefied like jade nectar, emitting a world-destroying pressure.

Zhang Bai's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly roared: “Feng Ming! That's enough! I'm really about to undergo the tribulation, if you fucking want to die, don't drag me down with you!”

Feng Ming, however, smiled calmly: “What's all this talk about dying? With me here, you won't die! Open your eyes and watch closely, Little Zhang!”

Before his voice could fade, he suddenly raised a palm.

In an instant, a massive palm made of lightning arcs appeared out of thin air, standing between him and the thunderclouds, as if openly provoking the heavenly Lightning Tribulation.

The thunderclouds seemed to be enraged, rumbling loudly. The next moment, a milky-white lightning arc as thick as a water bucket, carrying the power to end the world, crashed down, heading straight for Feng Ming's giant lightning palm!

However, the scene that followed left everyone present dumbfounded and would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Feng Ming's wrist gave a slight flick, and the giant lightning palm actually grabbed the descending lightning bolt!

The giant palm slammed downward, and that lightning arc, which was enough to cause a Nascent Soul Cultivator's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, was actually delivered steadily before Feng Ming like a gourmet delicacy.

Immediately following that, in front of everyone, Feng Ming opened his mouth and swallowed it!

As the lightning arc entered his throat, he didn't show the slightest bit of pain; instead, he had a look of comfort, as if he were tasting the world's finest dish.

This scene completely stunned everyone around.

Especially Zhang Bai, who was closest and saw it most clearly.

He only felt a chill run through his body and couldn't help but shiver. An uncontrollable warm current gushed from between his legs, and a few droplets trickled down his pant legs, hitting the ground.

On the ground, an unknown Loose Cultivator suddenly felt a chill on his face. He reached out to touch it and was full of confusion: “It's not raining, where did this water come from?”

Jiang Shuwan and the others were equally dumbfounded.

Zhao Peng was the first to react, jumping with excitement: “Holy shit! Awesome! Brother Feng really can tank the Lightning Tribulation! My future tribulation is sorted!”

Qin Hu and Guan Rong were also full of shock: “This... what kind of method is this? To even be able to devour a Lightning Tribulation?”

Feng Mian was so shocked he was somewhat incoherent: “What kind of monster is Second Brother? He actually swallowed the lightning... he... this is just too perverted.”
