Chapter 283: A Calm Heart
At this moment, a bitter smile hung on Ling Yichen’s face. He had never thought that he would be able to break through to the Great Fulfilment at this moment and be about to experience Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body. He had to say that this set of manuals left by his master was truly overbearing and tyrannical. He cultivated day and night without any distracting thoughts, only for one goal. Therefore, his cultivation was very smooth, and there were no major problems or bottlenecks. But unexpectedly, on the eve of the game, he suddenly felt that an opportunity had arisen for a breakthrough and hurried back to the residence to make it a reality.
Unexpectedly, this breakthrough led directly to the realm of Great Fulfilment, resulting in him being about to experience Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body so soon!
He was very well aware of the dangers of Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body, and additionally, Ling Chuxi had also explained to him her experience with it first-hand very clearly. The first eight strikes of lightning were tests from the heavens and only the last strike was truly the body tempering strike. It was also the most tyrannical strike of heavenly lightning.
The muffled and thunderous roars in the sky were starting to rumble closer and closer, as if they were ringing just above his head.
At this moment, the whole capital was in an uproar. Many forces were trying to inquire as to who it was that was about to undergo Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body. They definitely had to inquire about it clearly because if this person succeeded, they had to see if they would be able to win them over into the folds of their powers.
Ling Chuxi, Fu Chengyu and the rest had already made it back to the residence at this moment. Fu Chengyu instructed his servants to stop anyone from approaching the area.
When Ling Chuxi returned to the residence, she saw Ling Yichen standing upright with a sword in his hands and a calm and serious expression on his face.
Seeing Ling Chuxi appear, Ling Yichen was slightly stunned for a moment before he smiled at her. At this moment, he experienced an unprecedented calmness in his heart.
“Yichen, you... you broke through!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi in delight. But after expressing her joy, she started to express her worry, “Yichen, Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body is really something out of the ordinary, I...”
“You don’t have to worry,” said Ling Yichen as he raised a hand, “I will deal with it myself.”
Ling Chuxi saw the determination on Ling Yichen’s face and left the words at the tip of her tongue unspoken. She decided to stand aside and protect him quietly. She believed that Ling Yichen would definitely be able to make it through on his own!
The dark clouds were gathering more densely above their heads now and the shocking rumbling of lightning and thunder boomed even louder as they gathered within the clouds.
Here it comes! Ling Yichen’s gaze concentrated and he instantly raised his sword towards the sky!
Crash!
The first strike of heavenly lightning fell and Ling Yichen calmly welcomed it. The white light of Battle Qi and lightning clashed against one another and it made for an incredibly dazzling sight.
Fu Chengyu also stood by the side as he quietly watched this scene play out. The slightly trembling fist that was hidden in his sleeve revealed that Fu Chengyu’s heart was not as calm as his demeanor suggested.
After that, the second, third and fourth strikes of heavenly lightning fell in quick succession. Ling Yichen’s figure did not move even a millimeter. Circulating the Battle Qi in his body, he welcomed every strike of heavenly lightning baptizing him.
Ling Chuxi also noticed something odd as she observed on. It was indeed as Huangfu Qingjue had said. The heavenly lightning other people experienced was totally different from hers. The heavenly lightning that Ling Yichen was experiencing also appeared to be very shocking and terrifying, but in comparison to hers, it was practically on a different level altogether. Ling Chuxi quietly raised her head to look to the sky as she secretly and rudely directed a middle finger at it in her heart. Were these stupid old heavens playing at her death?
Very quickly, the last strike of heavenly lightning came. Fu Chengyu and the rest looked on at this scene nervously but Ling Chuxi was no longer nervous. She strongly believed that Ling Yichen was definitely able to withstand this last stage. Seeing his serious gaze, she knew it. Furthermore, his breath was not the least bit chaotic at the moment.
In the next moment, the ninth heavenly lightning strike which was much stronger than all the previous eight strikes finally fell. The corners of Ling Yichen’s lips curled up into a confident arc as he looked toward sky and raised his sword, looking incredibly heroic.
Then, the shocking strike of lightning fell!
