The more keenly Xiao Ling sensed the Lightning Tribulation, the stronger an idea took hold of him.
Why couldn't I put the Lightning Tribulation to use?
The system's slumber had shown him that his trump cards weren't strong enough.
That was why he had set his sights on the Lightning Tribulation.
The Lightning Tribulation was powerful. There was no doubt about that!
And it grew stronger according to the strength of the person undergoing it.
No other trump card could make him feel more secure.
Of course, there was one problem: he had to survive the stronger Lightning Tribulation. Otherwise, it would all be for nothing.
Thoughts raced through Xiao Ling's mind. He looked up at the sky above the small valley. It was gradually turning dark, a clear sign that the Lightning Tribulation was gathering.
At the sight, Xiao Ling willed his aura to weaken. Beside him, Xiao Yi Xian looked utterly lost. She clearly had no idea what Brother Xiao Ling was doing...
Meanwhile,
The Lightning Tribulation overhead seemed to pause. After carefully sensing him again, it withdrew, apparently convinced that the person undergoing it had been so frightened he'd crippled his own cultivation.
Watching the dark clouds disperse, Xiao Ling smiled. His idea worked. This trump card had its uses, though it took too long to appear. If only it could come faster.
After all, the enemies he faced now were Dou Zongs. If it took too long, they would be long gone, and all his preparation would be wasted.
Wait...
At that thought, Xiao Ling turned to Xiao Yi Xian. "Xian'er, did you feel the Lightning Tribulation lock onto you just now?"
"Lock onto me?" Xiao Yi Xian thought for a moment. "A little, but not strongly... Maybe that's because it had only just formed.
