C159 A Lightning Tribulation

Section 159.

All the hall masters expressed their views, and they all looked highly upon Guu Feng.

This sudden change forced all the hall masters to step out of the stage and treat Guu Feng. Only one hall master was left to announce the end of the first stage and continue the second stage of the competition the next day.

The top five who had passed the first stage had to receive some special rewards according to the rules, but since the Palace Master hadn't said anything, they could only wait for Guu Feng to wake up before making any plans.

It had to be said that when ten hall masters worked together to do one thing, it was very rare for them to fail. However, after half an hour, Guu Feng woke up full of energy.

Seeing that all the palace masters were looking at him with eager eyes, Guu Feng quickly bowed and said respectfully, "Greetings, palace masters."

No palace master dared to put on the airs of palace master in front of Guu Feng. All of them smiled kindly and nodded.

The Vast Cloud Hall palace master asked softly, "How do you feel? Feeling better? Is there any discomfort in your body? Hurry up and say it. With me and the Palace Masters here, I can help you discuss your treatment."

Guu Feng's eyes widened. He looked at this group of Palace Masters in disbelief, as if they had taken the wrong medicine. Since when did they become so friendly and pleasant?

"My body is weak, and it's difficult for me to talk?" He saw that Guu Feng did not speak for a long time. The Vast Cloud Hall Master was shocked and quickly discussed with the other Palace Masters.

"It should be because the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway's pressure is too great. There is some blood clot in his body, so it is difficult for him to talk. No matter, I will help him dredge his meridians." A Palace Master immediately came up with a solution.

Looking at the palace masters discussing this matter, Guu Feng was truly frightened. Why did he feel like the entire world had changed after he lost consciousness?

He coughed lightly and interrupted the palace masters' discussion, "Cough cough, I have worried the palace masters. Actually, this disciple is fine now."

"Oh, so that's how it is." The palace master of Vast Cloud Hall let out a long breath and asked uncertainly, "Is everything alright now? Why don't you feel it again?"

Guu Feng's head was full of black lines. He resisted the urge to hit the wall and said after a long while, "I'm really fine."

"You're awake?" The Palace Master brought the Left and Right Protectors over. When he saw that Guu Feng had woken up, he had a smile on his face.

"Greetings, Palace Master." Gu Feng.

"Since he's fine now, follow me." The Palace Master turned around and walked away, striding forward.

Guu Feng, who didn't know what was going on, followed behind the Palace Master in confusion. He didn't understand where the Palace Master was taking him.

Of course, the ten palace masters understood. It was the same in the previous years. The top five in the first stage would have special rewards. They were supposed to 'receive' the rewards after the first stage.

However, they had never thought that they would encounter a monster like Guu Feng. He actually managed to reach the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway by force, causing him to fall unconscious. That was why they had no choice but to delay.

After the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway, there was a lightning pool about the width of an abbot. It was filled with extremely precious Thunder Tribulation Liquid!

One had to know that the Thunder Tribulation Liquid was an item from the heavens. Its value was not much weaker than the Dragon Blood Essence. It could even be said that in some aspects, the Thunder Tribulation Liquid was even more useful than the Dragon Blood Essence.

Xu Rufeng, Lu Yong, Wang Yueyang, and Xiao He, who had been arranged to wait here a long time ago, saw the Palace Master and the ten hall masters and bowed in unison.

The Palace Master nodded. Thinking about how Guu Feng had not been in Spirit Heaven Palace for long, it explained:

"This is a Thunder Tribulation liquid, an item from the heavens. It was obtained by our Spirit Heaven Palace's first generation Palace Master through heaven defying means. It is the best item to temper the body. How long the five of you can stay in this lightning pool will depend on your own abilities. Go."

The four of them already knew what kind of benefits this Thunder Tribulation liquid had for tempering the body. They couldn't wait to jump into the lightning pool.

When Guu Feng finally entered the lightning pool, he suddenly felt lightning flashing and thunder rumbling. Countless lightning punishment descended, and all of them landed on his body.

Guu Feng complained endlessly. He knew that the tempering of the body wasn't that simple.

However, the benefits were also very obvious. Under the continuous strikes of the rolling lightning, many impurities were discharged from his incomparably strong body. His entire body was glowing with a dazzling light.

Guu Feng sat cross-legged. The spiritual Qi in his body was circulating according to the Dragon Raising Technique. The roar of a Heavenly Dragon could be heard from his body. Unlike before, he didn't activate the Heavenly Dragon this time. Instead, he let it circulate on its own.2

Guu Feng looked into his inner sight. The phantom of the five-clawed Heavenly Dragon was becoming more and more solid. He believed that it wouldn't take long for him to truly materialize the Heavenly Dragon, and he didn't need the help of an external object like the Dragon Blood Essence.

After a quarter of an hour, Guu Feng felt that this kind of lightning wouldn't be able to cause any more harm to him. It didn't hurt or itch when it struck his body, and he was bored to death. So, he could only stick his head out of the lightning pool. However, he found that the other four people were all struggling in the lightning pool.

All the Palace Masters looked at Guu Feng, unable to conceal the disappointment in their hearts. They initially thought that Guu Feng, who could reach the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway, would be able to hold on for at least two hours. They didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to hold on for more than fifteen minutes.

"I suppose you have already obtained a lot of benefits. Your physique must be even stronger now." After all, he was a disciple of the Vast Cloud Hall. The Palace Master of the Vast Cloud Hall stood out to mediate the dispute.

Guu Feng nodded. He understood the expressions of the Palace Masters, but he didn't think of explaining it. Since it was a misunderstanding, he would let them misunderstand. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to be famous. He understood the principle of being too rigid and easily broken.

Only the Palace Master didn't speak. He looked at ___ calmly without showing any signs of disappointment.

Two hours later, the four of them appeared one after another. They couldn't hold on in the lightning pool anymore, but the benefits they received weren't small either.

When they saw Guu Feng, who was the first one to go ashore, the four of them had different expressions on their faces.

Xu Rufeng revealed a mocking expression. He sneered in his heart, "So what if I reach the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway? He only lasted for a quarter of an hour in the lightning pool. One had to know that in this world, the physical body is not the only combat tool. It also has an even more powerful combat tool. That is spiritual energy!"

Xiao He and Wang Yueyang's expressions were roughly the same. They looked at Guu Feng with complicated expressions. They did not expect that this young man, who was called trash by most disciples, could actually reach the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway.

On the other hand, it was the honest and honest Lu Yong, who was also Guu Feng's eldest senior brother. At the same time, he was also the only one who did not see Guu Feng as trash. He simply grinned at Guu Feng. He was delighted that Guu Feng could achieve such a result.

"Go back and rest. Adjust your condition to face the second stage of tomorrow's competition." Palace Master waved his hand and let everyone leave.

"Guu Feng, wait." After everyone left, the Palace Master called out to Guu Feng and brought him to a forbidden area in Spirit Heaven Palace.

After walking for about fifteen minutes with the Palace Master, Guu Feng saw a bamboo forest. It was a violet bamboo forest, and it was filled with dense violet bamboo. The scenery was enchanting.

"Palace Master, isn't this the forbidden area of the Spirit Heaven Palace?" Guu Feng frowned as he looked at the bamboo forest in front of him.

He had once heard that someone had trespassed into this purple bamboo forest, which was regarded as a forbidden land by Spirit Heaven Palace, and never came out again. Not even a corpse was left behind.

"It can't be considered a forbidden area. It's just that there's a restriction placed on it to protect some things." The Palace Master shook its head and said.

"If my guess is correct, you shouldn't have been unable to endure in the lightning pool just now, right?"

The Palace Master gently smiled. It caused Guu Feng to vaguely recall Battle Soul Academy Dean and Baili Cheng. Both of them gave him the same kind of feeling.

Guu Feng said in embarrassment, "I did not intend to hide it from the Palace Master."

"Forget it. It is a good thing that young people can learn to hide their weakness and endure it. I have seen too many so-called geniuses who died early because they were arrogant and didn't know how to hide their weakness." The Palace Master said seriously, "It's precisely because of this that I wanted to bring you here."

"Hmm?" Guu Feng did not understand the meaning of the Palace Master.
