320: White lightning

Crackle!

In mid-air, Feng Ming was covered in white lightning arcs, but he appeared completely unfazed. He stood there without even reaching out to defend himself, allowing the lightning arcs to strike his body.

This was even more terrifying than seeing him catch and swallow the lightning with their own eyes.

This was purely withstanding it with his Physical Body. It was truly terrifying, absolutely exceeding the limits of what a human could endure.

Zhang Bai stared blankly at the scene, completely dumbfounded. He had thought Feng Ming was just putting on an act and wouldn't actually dare to provoke his Lightning Tribulation.

He never expected the guy to be a man of his word and actually do it. Not only that, he had even neutralized the first strike of the Lightning Tribulation along with its residual power.

Although Zhang Bai believed he could have survived the first strike himself, it certainly wouldn't have been in this manner, and it definitely wouldn't have been so effortless.

He saw very clearly that Feng Ming didn't resist at all; he was using his Physical Body to withstand it. It was simply monstrous.

Feng Ming floated in mid-air without any sign of distress. Of course, while everyone thought he was tanking the Lightning Tribulation with his body, it was actually the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder that was bearing the brunt of it for him.

At this moment, inside Feng Ming's body, countless white lightning arcs were striking the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

As a result, Feng Ming saw with his own eyes that a bolt of white lightning was rapidly coalescing within his Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

Although he didn't know what was happening, he had learned when he studied the Thunder Devouring Art that devouring lightning could improve the quality of his Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

For the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to be called a divine thunder, it was clearly very powerful. Feng Lei had spent his entire life nurturing it. Improving the quality of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was bound to be a very difficult process.

But he wasn't greedy; he didn't necessarily require the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to have a Breakthrough all at once. As long as its power could be slightly enhanced, it was a good thing.

Under the current circumstances, Feng Ming wasn't certain if the power of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder could be improved.

While Feng Ming stood in the sky pondering these matters, the people below were stunned to see that he had not only withstood the first bolt but had also neutralized it so easily.

"I mean, it's one thing for there to be so many Genius trialists in our batch, but for them to be this monstrous? How are we supposed to compete?"

"Yeah, I previously thought Zhang Bai was pitiful for being pestered by Feng Ming, but now I'm purely envious of him."

"Damn, you're telling the truth. Who wouldn't be envious of such a good thing? Having someone help tank the lightning during Undergoing Tribulation—nothing like this has ever happened before."

In Jiang Shuwan's team, Zhao Peng was also exclaiming in surprise.

"I always knew Boss was strong, but I never imagined he was this strong! If I'd known he was this capable, why would I have fought for heaven ranking tickets? Wouldn't it have been better to just join him?"

Jiang Shuwan simply smiled. She had always known her husband was very capable, but even so, he managed to redefine her understanding of him every time.

A few minutes later, the first strike of the Lightning Tribulation dissipated, and the lightning arcs on Feng Ming's body also vanished. He looked down at Zhang Bai and shouted, "Hey, Little Zhang, you okay?"

Zhang Bai snapped out of his daze and shook his head, asking in shock, "I'm fine. What about you?"

Feng Ming laughed and said, "I'm good. As long as you're fine, I'm fine. Don't give up halfway; there are still two more times."

Zhang Bai swallowed and nodded, saying with a smile, "Then take it easy. If you really can help me finish this Lightning Tribulation, I'll acknowledge you as my boss."

Hearing this, Feng Ming laughed heartily. "Just you wait, I'm definitely going to be your big brother."

Zhang Bai didn't say anything, but his heart was incredibly excited!

Just as that guy had said earlier, having someone else tank his tribulation was such a stroke of luck that one couldn't find it even with a lantern. To have it actually happen to him, how could he not be excited!

As soon as he finished speaking, the second divine thunder in the sky struck down. This time, its power was significantly greater than before, with two bolts of divine thunder as thick as water buckets.

Feng Ming didn't waste any words or make any preparations; he simply sat cross-legged where he was and allowed the two bolts of divine thunder to strike his body. He endured it quietly, as if he felt nothing at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Bai's tense heart finally relaxed.

Feng Ming was like a thick city wall shielding him from above. No matter how the divine thunder struck, it couldn't harm him in the slightest.

Zhang Bai looked at the tribulation treasures he had prepared in his Storage Ring, which were now completely useless. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "If I had known Undergoing Tribulation was this simple, I wouldn't have prepared so many things."

Outside the trial grounds, at the Bai Family.

Bai Xi was constantly monitoring everything in the trial grounds, so she naturally saw Feng Ming tanking the lightning. She couldn't help but feel excited. "Feng Ming is such a good person, taking the initiative to help Baier. I was worried that Baier would be in danger during his Undergoing Tribulation, but now I can finally rest easy."

Madam Bai also looked sentimental. "Yes, I didn't expect Feng Ming to have this kind of ability either. It's truly shocking."

While the two sisters, Bai Xi and Madam Bai, were both joyful, the Head of the Zhang Family, who was sitting in the main seat, let out a sigh. "You're being too optimistic. That's purely a woman's perspective!"

"Although Feng Ming tanking the lightning avoids the danger of Baier's Undergoing Tribulation, he won't be able to experience the benefits of it. To a Cultivator, a Lightning Tribulation is both a danger and an Opportunity. Undergoing Tribulation is like a Rebirth; only by experiencing and enduring it personally can one truly be transformed."

"Now it's safe, but he has also lost the most precious Opportunity for tempering himself through the tribulation."

Hearing this, Bai Xi immediately looked displeased. "I don't agree with you. Does my son have to be covered in wounds for it to count? The Zhang Family doesn't lack a single expert like my son. I don't care what you think; as his mother, my greatest wish is for my child to be safe and sound. Even if he isn't the most outstanding or the most powerful, it doesn't matter."

The Head of the Zhang Family sighed, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness. "A doting mother spoils the child. You've simply pampered him too much. Look at Feng Ming; it's said that his mother died early, which is why his character has been tempered to be so resilient."

Hearing this, Bai Xi became even more displeased. "What, do you also hope I die early so you can remarry?"

"I dare say that no mother would want to see her son like this. If Feng Ming's mother were alive, she would definitely protect him too."

"You!"

The Head of the Zhang Family was suddenly speechless, not knowing how to respond. In reality, Zhang Bai and Feng Ming were very similar, yet they had chosen different paths.

Ultimately, it was because Zhang Bai had the protection of his parents and had experienced human warmth since childhood. Feng Ming, on the other hand, had lost his mother early, and his Family was one that had fled into exile; he was destined to be different from Zhang Bai. He didn't have many people to protect him, and he could only rely on himself.

Rumble!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the final three strikes of the Three-Nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation struck down.

These were also the final three strikes for the Breakthrough from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Mahayana Stage. As long as he withstood these three strikes, Zhang Bai's Lightning Tribulation would be considered over.
