"Don't I look like one?
That's not the point. The point is, what exactly is the Lightning Punishment? "
Fang Yu went back to the topic at hand.
"The Lightning Punishment literally means that the bird that sticks out will be shot if you're in the limelight … Hmm?
I suddenly remembered something. If you really sacrificed the Tribulation Spirit, would it attract the Lightning Punishment?
I've forgotten about it before!
This is because something like triggering a lightning tribulation might not happen even once in many years! "
Long Tianxian suddenly said with a strange expression, "However, if the nature of the Lightning Tribulation is as the Tribulation Spirit said, then you would definitely attract the Lightning Punishment if you sacrificed the Tribulation Spirit."
"Alright."
Fang Yu nodded.
"What's so good about it?
What's so good about it?
What do you mean? "
Long Tianxian had a bad feeling about it!
"I'm interested to see what the Lightning Punishment looks like, and if it's really that terrifying."
Fang Yu said in a serious tone.
"Fang Yu, are you having a fever?"
Long Tianxian asked in astonishment, "How did you even think of something like that!?"
"I'm not having a fever. I just feel that since we're going to do it anyway, isn't it better to know a thing or two beforehand?"
Fang Yu said with a smile, "Even you have forgotten about the possibility of attracting the Lightning Punishment. If the Lightning Punishment suddenly appeared and caught us off guard, wouldn't it be even worse?"
"That's true …"
Long Tianxian hesitated.
Even though what Fang Yu said made sense, she still felt that something was amiss, as if something was amiss.
Was it her imagination?
"The ninth Tribulation is almost here!"
Fang Yu became serious too.
The biggest difference between the ninth Tribulation and the previous ones was that the time it would take was twice as long as the previous eight Tribulations combined!
Therefore, those who were able to rob the Qi of the Heavens and Earth in the ninth Tribulation were the most ferocious people!
The rest of the people, especially those who had robbed the Qi of the Heavens and Earth, were waiting patiently for their Tribulation to descend.
Someone once joked that the Four Great Institutes had turned the Martial Spirit Realm into a kind of examination!
The difference was that those who were able to take the examination here were all first-rate cultivators, geniuses, and people with great potential. That was all.
"The ninth tribulation …"
Many martial artists who had received the baptism of the eighth tribulation found that the spirit energy vortex above them was ready to move, and none of them dared to make a sound.
At such a critical moment, if anything went wrong, it would be too late for regrets!
Therefore, all the cultivators who were not prepared to participate in the ninth trial were silenced.
They only wanted to smoothly descend the ninth tribulation, then endure it and become Martial Spirits!
…
"I wonder how many warriors will succeed this time."
An inspector muttered to himself.
"If there are more successful people, there will be more benefits. If there are fewer, there will also be fewer benefits!"
One of them said with a smile.
"That's right."
The fat old man beside him nodded. "The more people who succeed, the more benefits there will be. The good thing is quantity!
However, according to past experience, if too many people succeed, the quality will drop. "
"Yes."
Everyone expressed their agreement to this.
The reason was simple. If one wanted to become a powerful Martial Spirit, he would have to plunder other people's Emperor spiritual energy on the night of tribulation, and then strengthen his own spirit energy vortex. This way, he would be able to descend an even more powerful lightning tribulation.
If everyone did not fight for it, although it would be peaceful, there would not be any particularly powerful Martial Spirits appearing.
One had to know that sometimes, a powerful Martial Spirit was equivalent to ten ordinary Martial Spirits!
Ordinary Martial Spirits were the cornerstone, but powerful Martial Spirits were the key to rise, and the core of the four academies' inheritance!
Therefore, when faced with such a situation, they were always looking forward to it, but also nervous!
They were looking forward to whether or not a powerful Martial Spirit would be born.
Although winning tonight did not mean the final result of the second round, it would indeed make the higher-ups of the academies who were secretly observing them look up to them!
After all, the night of tribulation was a traditional event of the four academies. Even if the higher-ups of the four academies did not have time, they would still pay attention to it.
Therefore, those who performed outstandingly tonight and successfully entered the academy would definitely receive some special treatment.
Whether or not they could seize this opportunity would depend on them!
…
"Vice Principal Wang, the Fang Yu you summoned earlier, could it be that he was the one you sent a special invitation to?"
Suddenly, someone contacted Vice Principal Wang, causing the latter to frown.
This person was an inner court elder of the Azure Dragon Academy!
The Azure Dragon Academy was divided into the outer court and the inner court.
Newcomers were all in the outer court.
However, those who performed outstandingly could enter the inner court in advance.
If their performance was not too outstanding, they could only wait for the competition or assessment a year later.
If they performed outstandingly in the competition, other than receiving generous rewards, they could directly enter the inner court.
If they did not perform outstandingly in the competition, they could only obediently accept the assessment.
The difficulty of the assessment was not fixed, and it all depended on the higher-ups of the Azure Dragon Academy.
According to them, it was better to have nothing than to have something substandard!
If there was no suitable candidate, they would rather have fewer people enter the inner court than lower the quality of the inner court.
Because those who could enter the inner court all had the possibility of graduating.
A young Martial Grand Master, a young Martial Spirit, a young Martial King!
The four academies continuously sent young experts.
Of course, if all the seedlings this year were outstanding, they would even increase the difficulty of the assessment!
An assessment was an assessment, and a competition was a competition!
A competition might have an element of luck, but an assessment ….. would also have an element of luck. However, the probability was very small, and it was not enough to be used as an example.
In short, the night of tribulation could not determine the future. However, looking at eighty years old, one could more or less see some traces of the future.
In addition, if one was lucky enough to be chosen by one of the higher-ups, it could be said that one would have less time to struggle.
Whether it was cultivation or resources, the difference between fighting alone and having someone to guide you was like heaven and earth!
Tonight was a good opportunity for a fish to leap over the dragon gate.
At the same time, one could fail the tribulation and enter a bottomless abyss!
Everything would depend on one's own abilities!
…
"Haha … Haha, finally the ninth tribulation!"
The evil spirit looked at the many tribulation rooms below and laughed loudly.
"It is not too late for you to admit defeat now. As long as you give up your body, I can still preserve a little bit of your consciousness. Moreover, I promise that during the second round, I will not interfere. In addition, I will leave after the second round, and I will definitely not harm the interests of the Azure Dragon Academy!"
The evil spirit made a solemn vow.
"The reason why you said that is only because you are afraid of the experts of our Azure Dragon Academy ….. The night of tribulation is destined to be the focus of attention. If you make a move, the higher-ups of our Azure Dragon Academy will not sit by and do nothing. At that time, I estimate that your efforts will be in vain."
Azure Dragon Jing said slowly.
