Chapter 74: Breakthrough!

  In the void.

  Watching the battle on the virtual arena, Wu San Tong's mouth curled up. As the fight between Shangguan Yu and Xu Mo progressed, his mouth curled up even more. When Shangguan Yu's dragon spear pierced Xu Mo's chest, his mouth was almost curled up to his ears.

  Shangguan Zhongmen looked at Wu Santong's appearance and rolled his eyes. "Younger brother, how can your mouth be so long? Aren't you afraid of getting a mouthful of bad luck? In the past when Master often praised you, I didn't see you being this smug!"

  Wu San Tong put away his smile, but then smiled again. "It's different, I've never taken an apprentice before, didn't know what it was like to take an apprentice. Now I do, the apprentice is promising, and as a master, I'm even prouder than the apprentice! Shangguan Yu this kid is really not bad, I quite like this apprentice!"

  At this time, Shangguan Yu used the witch's technique. Shangguan Zhangmen, however, looked at him intently and said, "Junior brother, it seems that your disciple has many secrets! Did you see that move just now? An extreme realm warrior is not possible to use that move."

  Wu San Tong nodded in agreement, "That move can't be done by a warrior at the extreme realm to kill someone from a distance. It's not a mage's technique either, I didn't see him chant and I didn't feel any elemental power. But it doesn't seem like a warrior's technique either, if warriors at the extreme realm could use this move, then mages would truly have no advantage!"

  Shangguan Zhongmen thought back to Shangguan Yu's move again, and suddenly he exchanged a glance with Wu Santong. "Could it be the legendary witchcraft?"

  Wu San Tong nodded, "I'm afraid so. Only Wu's technique matches the move that Shangguan Yu used. It seems that this kid has many secrets on him, but the more secrets he has, the better. Of course, I hope my disciple becomes stronger and stronger, otherwise, I'll lose face in the future."

  Watching Wu Santong not hiding his pride at all, Shangguan Zhizhong also felt a sense of relief. Looking at Wu Santong's appearance, he must have been cultivating Shangguan Yu well. Seeing Shangguan Yu's performance, Shangguan Zhizhong also rose to the heart of loving talent. Unfortunately, he had already been preempted by Wu Santong, and he naturally couldn't compete with his junior brother for a disciple.

  "Junior brother, I remember now. That kid is Xu Mo. He's actually Third Junior Brother's registered disciple. If your disciple kills him, Third Junior Brother might give you trouble."

  As the leader of Zhen Wu Men, Shang Guan naturally did not want any conflicts between fellow disciples. Small conflicts between his junior brothers were one thing, but his senior and junior masters could not have any conflicts, or else it would be very bad for Zhen Wu Men.

  "No big deal, my disciple killed one of your named disciples. I said to the sect leader, are you heartbroken over this inner sect disciple? If so, I'll immediately go stop my disciple, and that's not a problem, right?"

  Wu San Tong's words sounded reasonable, but looking at him, there was no intention of stopping. And Shangguan Zhongmen didn't say anything, just slightly shaking his head. Among disciples, there must be competition, a sect without competitive power is impossible to prosper.

  "Haha, Master Wu, I know you won't tell me to stop!" Wu Santong chuckled and didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment.

  "Huh, something's wrong." The leader of the Upper Palace furrowed his brow and looked up at the sky. At the same time, Wu San Tong also sensed that something was off, and he too gazed intently upwards.

  A large mass of thunderclouds gathered in the sky, with countless lightning bolts rolling about. The thundercloud drifted over to Void Battleground, and then directly struck Xu Mo dead.

  "Not good," Wu San Tong flew down from the void in an instant, taking away both Shangguan Yu and Qin Shou. As for the crowd under the Void Fighting Platform, Wu San Tong didn't bother with them. With Shangguan as the sect leader there, nothing would happen anyway.

  Shangguan Zhangmen looked at Wu Santong's behavior and could only smile helplessly. Wu Santong didn't care about these people, but as the leader of Zhenwu Gate, he naturally couldn't ignore them. Just when Shangguan Zhangmen was about to rescue these people, something unexpected happened.

  "Haha... Junior brother, I didn't think you'd end up like this!" Shangguan Zhangmen burst out laughing in the void, and Wu Santong knew he was here, which is why he left this mess for him.

  But now, that thundercloud is actually chasing the direction of Wu Santong's departure. When Shangguan Zhangmen looked carefully, he found that no matter which direction Wu Santong ran to, the thundercloud would chase in that direction.

  Although this thundercloud is not large, Wu Santong can eliminate it with one move. However, Wu Santong did not dare to do so, as this kind of thundercloud must be a heavenly tribulation, and if he were to destroy it, the consequences would be unbearable for him.

  "What's going on? I'm still far from the next boundary, has the Thunder Tribulation arrived already? But that can't be right, a small tribulation like this is just enough to tickle me." Wu San Tong furrowed his brow and muttered to himself.

  Wu San Tong dragged his four apprentices, constantly circling on that mountain of his. But wherever he went, the thunderclouds followed, and Wu San Tong was truly helpless. "I'm telling you, Lei Yun, what do you want to do? Can't you just be straightforward? Why are you chasing me like this?"

  Lei Yun didn't answer Wu San Tong's question, but someone else did. "Master, this thundercloud should be chasing me! I just broke through during the battle!"

  Wu San Tong widened his eyes, staring at Shangguan Yu in astonishment. "What did you say? This thundercloud is chasing after you? Do you think Master is senile? You've only just broken through to the Human Realm and already have a Thunder Tribulation? If that's really the case, then Master has been living all these years for nothing. How can others possibly endure?"

  Shangguan Yu didn't know, but Wu Santong did. Although the Thunder Tribulation was perilous, it was actually a good thing. After going through the Thunder Tribulation, a warrior's strength would definitely increase significantly. And if a warrior could frequently withstand lightning strikes, his strength would be absolutely extraordinary.

  Looking at Shangguan Yu's serious expression, and then looking at Lei Yun who was indeed only chasing after the five of them, Wu Santong chose to believe Shangguan Yu. This disciple always managed to bring him surprises, and Wu Santong was also glad that he had taken in such a promising disciple.

  "Apprentice, can you withstand this thundercloud? If not, Master can help you!" Wu Santong said anxiously. For such an apprentice, Wu Santong did not want him to come to harm. Even if he broke through this thunder tribulation, the most severe consequences would be borne by him.

  Looking at Wu San Tong's concerned gaze, Shangguan Yu's heart was also moved. Although this Master Wu San Tong is not very reliable, he is indeed sincere towards him. Shangguan Yu was also relieved that Zhizhu Wang and Wu San Tong, these two masters, had indeed taken a liking to him, both being genuine in their regard for him.

  "Don't worry, Master. Although I'm injured, dealing with this small tribulation is no big deal." Upper Official Yu patted his chest, the wound on his left shoulder hadn't healed yet, but he pretended to be fine.

  Wu San Tong slapped a palm on Shangguan Yu's left shoulder, causing him to take in a cold breath. "Heh heh, you stinky brat, I'll make you shut up! Listen, swallow it!"

  Wu San Tong took out a green pill and placed it at the edge of Shang Guan Yu's mouth. This time, Shang Guan Yu did not refuse, directly swallowing the Dan medicine into his mouth. As soon as he swallowed it, Shang Guan Yu felt that his whole body had cooled down.

  "Master, you all get out of the way, I'll just stay here and go through this thunder tribulation."

  When Shangguan Yu said that, Wu Santong also put Shangguan Yu on the ground, while he and three others flew far away.

  Shangguan Yu looked around and saw that everyone else had left, so he frantically circulated the Heavenly Earth Primordial Qi within his body. Suddenly, Shangguan Yu seemed to have thought of something and loudly shouted at Wu Santong and the others, "Masters, get further away! Don't appear in a place where you can see me!"

  Shangguan Yu's words left Wu Santong perplexed, but for Shangguan Yu's sake, he still sent Qin Shou and the others to a distant place. However, Wu Santong stood in mid-air, looking down at Shangguan Yu's breakthrough.

  The heaven and earth yuanqi around Shangguan Yu began to rotate, those heaven and earth yuanqi became more and more, finally forming a large whirlpool. And these rotating heaven and earth yuanqi all drilled into Shangguan Yu's body, completely opening up the meridians in Shangguan Yu's body.

  At this time, Shangguan Yu was also able to break through with peace of mind. The thunderclouds in the sky also stopped in mid-air, and the lightning rolled even more fiercely.

  "Psst psst psst"

  Bolts of lightning began to strike towards Shangguan Yu, and Shangguan Yu actually sat down cross-legged. Each bolt of lightning was only as thick as a thumb, and striking Shangguan Yu's body didn't have much effect. However, the number of bolts striking down was increasing more and more, and Shangguan Yu also gradually felt pain.

  It was originally a bit of a hassle to break through those meridians with the yuanqi, but with the catalysis of lightning, everything became simple. Gradually, the trunk of Shangguan Yu's body was completely filled with yuanqi, proving that his cultivation had already stabilized.

  Lei Jie also seemed to have gone crazy at this time, and the lightning bolts had already become as thick as an arm. However, these lightning bolts seemed to have received some kind of order, and they struck towards Yu Fei in an orderly manner.

  Every time Ueshima's movements become slow and sluggish, the lightning will continue to strike. And when Ueshima reaches his limit, these lightnings will stop. These lightnings are constantly challenging Ueshima's limits, helping him to temper himself.

  All of this fell into Wu Santong's eyes, but it was really unbelievable. The thundercloud above Shangguan Yu was actually a tribulation? How could there be such a good tribulation? It seemed to be specifically helping Shangguan Yu stabilize his realm, and even helped him temper himself.

  If Lei Jie were always so good, what would Wu Zhe be afraid of? Other people's Lei Jie are nine deaths and one life, while Shangguan Yu's is ten lives without death. This point alone makes even the heart of Wu San Tong jealous. Dammit, does Shangguan Yu have a personal connection with the Heavenly Way?
