Chapter 718: Chapter 738: Is This Considered a Success or a Failure? _1

Wilderness, valley.

"Let’s do it here."

After looking around, Qiao Wei landed in the valley and pointed to the distance: "You just watch from the side, no matter what happens to me, don’t come up, understand?"

"Okay!"

Lin Chen obediently sat down at the designated mountain hollow, quietly waiting.

Qiao Wei settled in the valley, sitting cross-legged.

It was quiet in the valley, but about half an hour later, a sudden wind blew through the valley.

The wind grew stronger, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be inexplicably attracted, gathering swiftly from all directions.

Qiao Wei, seated cross-legged, seemed to become a black hole for spiritual energy, wildly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. The spiritual energy seemed to flow into her like rivers of water, rushing in.

The originally clear sky suddenly turned cloudy, eventually becoming overcast.

Dark clouds swirled like a black vortex, lightning flashed within the clouds, growing brighter and brighter.

Qiao Wei, who was originally sitting cross-legged, stood up and floated upwards, ascending to the sky.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, aiming directly at Qiao Wei.

The lightning struck Qiao Wei and shattered into countless electric sparks.

With this attack, Qiao Wei’s Red Dragon Sword didn’t even make a move, merely relying on her body’s sword qi to directly shatter the bolt of lightning.

"Crack!"

The second bolt of lightning fell, at least twice as thick as the first one, and struck down once again.

Qiao Wei still faced it head-on.

Once again, the lightning shattered, unable to reach within three feet of Qiao Wei.

Lin Chen watched this scene, his heart surging with emotion. This level of Sword Bone, a three-foot Sword Screen, was too powerful!

Such a powerful lightning bolt couldn’t even break through three feet, directly shattering.

The third bolt of lightning fell, at least twice as thick again, but still shattered just the same.

Qiao Wei hovered in the sky, standing proudly like a female war goddess, exuding an astonishing aura.

The fourth bolt of lightning, now as thick as a barrel, came down with scorching electric lights, pouring down on her.

Qiao Wei drew her sword.

With a single upward slash, the sword qi surged, defying the heavens and directly striking the lightning.

The sword qi shattered, but the lightning also broke apart.

The fifth!

The sixth!

With each bolt of lightning, the power became greater, and it became more difficult for Qiao Wei to handle.

When the seventh bolt of lightning fell, Qiao Wei’s sword qi could only reduce part of its power. The lightning continued to fall, encountering the three-foot Sword Screen, a large part shattered once again, while a small part struck Qiao Wei, instantly emitting black smoke.

Lin Chen suddenly stood up, his heart jumping into his throat.

It was getting a bit overwhelming.

When the eight bolt of lightning fell, Qiao Wei was struck from the sky, falling several hundred meters, her clothes already torn and ragged. In many places, blood flowed, looking quite miserable.

Qiao Wei rose again, spiritual qi surging throughout her body, the Red Dragon Sword in hand. She seemed to have transformed into an incredibly sharp unsheathed long sword, revealing a breathtaking killing intent.

Dark clouds churned in the sky, lightning flickered, as if brewing something.

Finally, half a minute later, the ninth bolt of lightning struck down.

This lightning pillar seemed like a pillar of heaven and earth, descending directly from the sky, accompanied by countless small lightning bolts, filling the space between heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Wei was hit by the lightning pillar, her entire body enveloped by the incredibly bright lightning, the thundering energy corroding Qiao Wei’s three-foot Sword Screen, ferociously breaking through it.

"Break for me!"

Qiao Wei let out a tragic but unyielding cry, her body’s sword qi surging wildly, countless sword qis tearing at the approaching lightning.

Her clothes instantly turned to ashes, her skin cracked, blood splattered, but she stubbornly stood her ground, allowing blood to spatter, refusing to relent as she stood in the sky.

The lightning gradually shattered and dissipated.

The dark clouds in the sky scattered.

Qiao Wei, covered in blood, hung in the air and suddenly fell like a weight.

Lin Chen’s heart suddenly sank, and his body disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next second, Lin Chen appeared below Qiao Wei, directly catching her as she fell from the sky.

At this moment, Qiao Wei was covered in blood, with countless wounds. Most of her injuries were caused by the lightning, burnt black and still smoking, presenting an unbearable sight. Several places were torn open, even exposing stark white bones.

Lin Chen was filled with anxiety in his heart. Was this a failure or a success?

Before Lin Chen had even landed, an infinite amount of spiritual energy from the sky suddenly poured into Qiao Wei’s body. Then, the wounds on Qiao Wei’s body healed rapidly at a visible speed, while a strong and vast aura emanated from her body.

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened. Was this a success?

It was said that after advancing through the thunder tribulation, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth would heal the body of the person who crossed the tribulation and enhance their strength. This was akin to taking a test - if you couldn’t hold on, you’d fail, but if you endured, the heavens would reward you with immense gains.

Lin Chen held Qiao Wei, hovering in mid-air, not daring to move for a moment, fearing to disrupt the "infusion" of spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy rushed in, and Lin Chen suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.

Don’t you have eyes?

Why are you drilling into my body?
