Dad, You Rock

The appearance of this Heavenly Tribulation was far too sudden; the Zhou Clan members hadn't yet prepared themselves.

Just then, within the thunderclouds, countless bolts of lightning coalesced, and in the next moment, a thick heavenly thunderbolt crashed down.

The target of that heavenly thunderbolt was none other than the Zhou Clan's Young Master, Zhou Qiongtian!

"What the hell!" Zhou Qiongtian cursed outright. Was this damned heaven trying to kill him?

"Zhou Qiongtian, my son, no need to worry. A mere Heavenly Tribulation—how dare it harm you?" Zhou Kuang laughed loudly, actually walking step by step toward the tribulation.

"Extinguish!" Zhou Kuang barked softly, as if wielding the power of Word of Law. An invisible force enveloped the heavenly thunderbolt, and in an instant, it was directly annihilated.

"Holy shit, my old man is way too badass. He didn't even lift a finger—just one word and the heavenly thunderbolt was gone. With a dad like this, I'm set, I'm set."

Zhou Qiongtian rejoiced inwardly, giving Zhou Kuang two thumbs up. Dad, you're awesome!

Zhou Kuang pointed a single finger at the sky, domineering beyond compare, a look of utter contempt on his face: "A mere tribulation thunderbolt dares to punish my son?"

Zhou Qiongtian's eyes went wide. Dad, is it really okay to provoke the Heavenly Tribulation like this?

As if enraged by Zhou Kuang's words, the heavenly tribulation thunderbolt struck down directly—a thick, brutal bolt.

"Hahaha, bring it on!" Zhou Kuang laughed heartily. "Qiong'er, this Heavenly Tribulation is not only a calamity but also an opportunity. Heavenly thunder has an extremely powerful effect on Body Tempering, far surpassing the world's Heavenly Treasures."

"Come here!" Zhou Kuang growled low, extending a finger. His finger seemed to possess some strange magic, and the heavenly tribulation thunderbolt shot straight toward it.

From this view, it no longer looked like the tribulation thunderbolt was striking Zhou Kuang, but rather that Zhou Kuang was controlling it.

"Refine!" Zhou Kuang executed a Great Divine Ability, condensing the heavenly tribulation into a single mass.

"Go!" With a single point of his finger, the terrifying tribulation thunderbolt instantly struck toward Zhou Qiongtian.

The Zhou Clan members were all stunned. What was the Clan Lord doing? Never mind—the Clan Lord must have his reasons.

"Damn it!" Zhou Qiongtian cursed, turning and running. If a tribulation thunderbolt was coming at him and he didn't run, he'd be a pure fool.

With Zhou Qiongtian's current strength, getting hit by that tribulation thunderbolt would definitely turn him to ash.

What the hell, Dad? Trying to pull off a righteous execution of your own son?

Seeing Zhou Qiongtian bolt, Zhou Kuang was taken aback and said helplessly, "What the hell are you running for? Don't move! This tribulation thunderbolt is your opportunity!"

Zhou Qiongtian didn't believe it at all. He only wished his parents had given him more legs—this thing was clearly pure terror!

Zhou Kuang helplessly rubbed his forehead, then froze Zhou Qiongtian in place. The tribulation thunderbolt immediately struck him.

In an instant, Zhou Qiongtian felt his whole body go numb, floating lightly as if his soul had left his body.

"Qiong'er, quickly refine the tribulation thunderbolt!" Zhou Kuang roared. Only then did Zhou Qiongtian snap back to reality. He thought he'd been wiped out, but he was still alive.

Zhou Qiongtian could feel that the tribulation thunderbolt inside him was extremely gentle. If the earlier tribulation thunderbolt had been an enraged tiger, now it was a docile little kitten, completely at his mercy.

Zhou Qiongtian immediately sat cross-legged and began absorbing the tribulation thunderbolt.

Even the elders' expressions shifted at this sight. They had never heard of anyone being able to refine tribulation thunderbolt, yet Zhou Kuang had not only done it but also used it to help Zhou Qiongtian temper his body.

What precise control! Truly the invincible Clan Lord!

If the elders were this astonished, the others were even more dumbfounded, their mouths hanging open.

Ren Nishang's beautiful eyes flashed with a glint of light. She hadn't expected Zhou Kuang to be this powerful. Even a Supreme Realm expert would be extremely cautious facing a Heavenly Tribulation, yet Zhou Kuang casually toyed with it. Truly a Great Emperor Realm pinnacle powerhouse!

"Heh, tribulation thunderbolt—is that all? Tickling me?" Zhou Kuang sneered, actually mocking the Heavenly Dao itself.

As if the Heavenly Dao had a will of its own, hearing Zhou Kuang's words, the thunderclouds grew denser, the thunder louder. In the next moment, an even fiercer tribulation thunderbolt struck down.

This time, it wasn't just one—it was dozens!

Seeing this, everyone except Zhou Kuang changed color. Dozens of tribulation thunderbolts falling at once—even a Supreme Realm expert would be in danger.

Zhou Kuang laughed heartily: "Now that's more like it! A little thunder like this is what can pique This Emperor's interest!"

Zhou Kuang's black hair danced wildly in the air. He spread his five fingers, and a special force spread across his palm. If the tribulation thunderbolt had consciousness, it would surely tremble, like a mortal facing an emperor.

The Origin of Lightning—mastery over all thunder and lightning in the world!

The dozens of tribulation thunderbolts bowed their heads before Zhou Kuang like subjects.

"Qiong'er, catch!"

This time, Zhou Qiongtian didn't panic. He gradually refined these tribulation thunderbolts, his physical strength skyrocketing. Not only that, but a thread of Law of Lightning power was born within him.

One must know that Law Power could only be grasped by Supreme Realm experts. If not for Zhou Kuang possessing the Origin of Lightning and using a Great Divine Ability to refine the tribulation thunderbolt and extract its essence, it would have been absolutely impossible for Zhou Qiongtian to generate even a thread of Law of Lightning power within him.

"Qiong'er, want more?" Zhou Kuang revealed a meaningful smile.

"Yes!" Zhou Qiongtian answered almost without thinking.

The next moment, Zhou Kuang grabbed Zhou Qiongtian and tossed him straight into the thunderclouds.

"Holy shit—!" Zhou Qiongtian's terrified voice rang out continuously. Zhou Kuang laughed heartily, shot forward instantly, and quickly reached Zhou Qiongtian's side.

The Zhou Clan elders wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and smiled bitterly: "The Clan Lord is still so... valiant!"

As if provoked by the two men's defiance, countless tribulation thunderbolts rained down like they cost nothing, each one stronger than the last, as if determined to annihilate these despisers of the Heavenly Dao.

"Good! Good! Good!" Zhou Kuang shouted three times. These tribulation thunderbolts were like docile little kittens in his hands, completely harmless.

Zhou Qiongtian's heart pounded wildly. The thrill of this day was far too much for him.

With Zhou Kuang's help, Zhou Qiongtian refined many bolts of Heavenly Tribulation lightning, reaping great gains—just as Zhou Kuang had said, the Heavenly Tribulation was both a calamity and an opportunity.

Zhou Kuang laughed heartily and led Zhou Qiongtian back to the room.

"Qiong'er, how was that? Your dad's pretty impressive, right?" Zhou Kuang put on a look that clearly said, I'm amazing, praise me.

Zhou Qiongtian said faintly, "The outcome was good, but it would have been better if you weren't so reckless."

Zhou Kuang gave an awkward chuckle. "Ahem, I'll be more careful next time."

"Qiong'er, are you satisfied with this Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils? If not, we can swap them out."

"They're passable, I suppose. They'll do." Zhou Qiongtian said flatly. The corner of Zhou Kuang's mouth twitched slightly—both the Supreme Bone and the Twin Pupils were constitutions rarely seen in ten thousand years, yet in Zhou Qiongtian's mouth, they were merely "passable"?

At this moment, Zhou Kuang bore no resemblance to his former self; now he was like a doting son-slave.
