2151 Self-confidence skyrockets
Sister White Dragon’s voice seemed to carry the power to make others do her bidding.
When she told him to screw off, Song Shuhang immediately rolled away, and he did so very quickly.
Actually, the reason was that the first real strike of the Seventh Stage heavenly tribulation was descending. This strike was no longer a warning shot; the five-element heavenly tribulation lightning possessed might at the peak of the Sixth Stage.
The power of the five elements covered most of the sky. Ferocious flames burned and thunder roared, while hail mixed with sandstorms and ravaged the sky. The scene reminded one of the end of the world.
Song Shuhang knew that the heavenly tribulation was coming for him. In order to avoid involving the petite fairy maiden, he quickly put some distance between them.
After rolling away, Song Shuhang stood still and began to prepare for the five-element heavenly tribulation.
The heavenly tribulation firmly locked onto him, sending attacks his way both from the ground and the sky.
The virtuous lamia did not try to capture the heavenly tribulation this time around as she was only interested in lightning-type tribulation.
She dissipated and turned into light of virtue before settling inside Song Shuhang’s body, strengthening his defense.
The five-element heavenly tribulation was a very good whetstone for cultivators who practiced body tempering techniques.
For such people, it was of great benefit to resist the five-element heavenly tribulation without the aid of defensive magical treasures or auxiliary formations.
If they were lucky, they might even be able to make use of that opportunity to raise the level of their body tempering techniques.
However, Song Shuhang, who had lost his memory, did not know this. Actually, even when he had his memory, he didn’t know of this fact.
“Come!” Song Shuhang shouted at the five-element heavenly tribulation.
Afterward, he hugged his head, squatted down, and assumed an impeccable defensive posture.
Having lost his memory, he didn’t remember how to use offensive or defensive techniques, so he could only resist the attack and see if he had any skills that would activate on its own.
The five-element heavenly tribulation pounced on him viciously, covering him from head to toe.
“Yaaaa!” Song Shuhang clenched his teeth and endured the damage of the heavenly tribulation.
But after a few yells, he stopped.
Still crouched, he raised his head in puzzlement and glanced at the horrifying scene in the sky.
While scratching his head, he mused, “Is that it?”
This five-element heavenly tribulation looks so scary, so why are its attacks so weak?
❄️❄️❄️
“Tyrannical Song, are you alright?” asked Sixteen, worried. She heard the white horse call Song Shuhang “Tyrannical Song” earlier, so she followed suit.
Seeing Song Shuhang surrounded by the five-element heavenly tribulation, a worried look emerged on her face.
The metal, wood, water, fire, and earth element enveloped Song Shuhang’s body, with the five forces forming a cycle. No matter what kind of affinity a practitioner had with the various elements, the five-element heavenly tribulation would find their weaknesses.
If the power of the five-element heavenly tribulation managed to invade one’s body, it could destroy the practitioner from the inside, which was something very difficult to defend against.
“I’m fine, and I don’t feel much pain. Anyway, isn’t the might of this five-element heavenly tribulation a bit too low?” Song Shuhang stood up while receiving the attacks of the five-element heavenly tribulation and waved at Sixteen.
So weak… Is this the real might of the heavenly tribulation?
These attacks feel no different from a baby slapping me.
Rather than hurting, it feels like a massage.
Seeing how weak the heavenly tribulation was, Song Shuhang’s self-confidence skyrocketed.
If this was the true power of the Seventh Stage heavenly tribulation, then he, Tyrannical Song, would survive without any problems!
Song Shuhang challenged the heavenly tribulation, “Come on! Try harder! Did you forget to have your breakfast this morning?”
Such a provocation did not conform to his usual cautious and careful nature, but when he was bombarded by the heavenly tribulation, Song Shuhang kept getting a sense of familiarity. So, he could not stop himself from provoking the heavenly tribulation.
The five-element heavenly tribulation increased its power.
The five elements formed a cycle and enhanced each other’s damage.
Various powers derived from the five elements, such as lightning, fire, wind, and ice, enveloped Song Shuhang’s body and attacked him from all directions.
Song Shuhang continued to provoke the heavenly tribulation. “Is this all you can do? Your damage only increased by a small bit. Try harder! Let me feel a little pain!”
He felt that this was the only way to force the heavenly tribulation to go all out.
This time, it was no longer a simple provocation but part of Song Shuhang’s strategy.
He did this because he suddenly recalled a piece of knowledge about the heavenly tribulation.
As long as it did not mutate halfway, the heavenly tribulation’s attack power was fixed.
If the total attack power was 100, then it was best to waste the energy of the heavenly tribulation in the early stages.
After all, the later the stage, the more diverse and trickier the attacks of the heavenly tribulation.
Even with the same amount of energy, the damage caused by the earlier attacks and the damage caused by the later attacks was very different.
Therefore, Song Shuhang provoked the heavenly tribulation, hoping that he could fully consume its energy in the first few stages.
The heavenly tribulation continued to strike down fiercely, and its power kept increasing.
Song Shuhang was still fine and continued to spout nonsense.
In the distance, Sixteen watched attentively. Although she had lost her memory, her instincts told her that there was definitely something wrong with the way Song Shuhang was transcending his tribulation.
Song Shuhang said loudly, “That’s it! You added some strength this time. I felt a little bit of pain, the kind you’d feel when someone gently pricks you with their fingernails. I knew that as long as you wanted to, you could do it! Come on! Continue to increase your strength. Don’t pity me!”
The five-element heavenly tribulation added more power to keep its face.
Everything was going according to Song Shuhang’s plans.
While Song Shuhang was in thought, an awe-inspiring saber intent emerged from his body, exploding toward the sky.
This explosive saber intent that came out of nowhere was extremely powerful.
Everything that stood in its way was obliterated.
Whether it was the fire or the lightning, the sand or the ice, the wood or the wind, all of them were cut apart with that single slash.
Even the tribulation clouds in the sky were slashed in two halves.
After cutting through the tribulation clouds, the saber intent did not dissipate and continued toward the starry sky as if wanting to tear it apart.
The five-element heavenly tribulation was snuffed out.
The tribulation clouds in the air began to condense again, brewing the next wave of the heavenly tribulation.
Song Shuhang: “…”
What the hell was that?!
Why did such a powerful saber intent suddenly emerge from my body?
When the word “saber intent” appeared in his mind, another type of saber intent burst out of his body.
The saber intent wrapped around his body and turned into a set of gorgeous armor.
This shining armor conveniently covered Song Shuhang’s forbidden zone.
“Is this armor intent?” Song Shuhang touched the armor on his body.
No wonder I couldn’t think of any offensive techniques. It seems I’m a tank specialized in defense…
