"Not enough, nowhere near enough. I could easily withstand a heavenly tribulation this strong!" Doudou said. "I'm a great monster who's going to form a demon core with at least eight patterns. A heavenly tribulation of this level is too weak to let me form eight patterns. Shuhang, is there any way you can strengthen it for me?"
Song Shuhang said, "Who told you the strength of the heavenly tribulation had anything to do with the number of core markings?"
During his fourth-to-fifth advancement, he had even tagged along for Senior Skylark's eighth-grade heavenly tribulation. Yet the number of core markings he formed had still been pitifully low, and he had needed Senior White Two's help to bring them up to a nine-dragon pattern.
Besides, don't tempt fate while transcending a tribulation—the last person who had declared he would form an eight-dragon-pattern golden core in one go was still alive, locked up in his Core World.
"Normally, the stronger the heavenly tribulation... the more core markings you do form afterward, and the higher the quality of the core. After all, rewards require effort," Fairy Eastern Six said.
Song Shuhang asked, "Does artificially strengthening the heavenly tribulation work too?"
"If you feel you can withstand a stronger heavenly tribulation, then strengthening it... does give you a chance of improving your core's quality." Fairy Eastern Six wasn't entirely certain either.
"Shuhang, hurry, hurry, hurry! The last few waves of heavenly tribulation are coming. Help me strengthen it. Trust me, I can definitely do it!" Doudou shouted again—he felt he was in the best possible condition, and the current strength of the heavenly tribulation couldn't satisfy him at all.
Besides, Song Shuhang had formed a nine-dragon pattern. He couldn't let a junior surpass him by too much. Doudou had his pride too.
