Chapter 385 (2/2)

”He is a human. Don't you see him defending with a barrier? What a freak.”

”Those are mutated lightning bolts, a few times more powerful than regular lightning bolts! Not even late-stage Kings would easily dare to take on one. He is only a third-stage King, yet he is already doing something like this? What a freak!”

”He is probably a young master from some super clan. Only someone like that can display such terrifying strength.”

”But can he survive this tribulation? He better not die here.”

...

Dong Zhuoyue and Dong Ziwan had also appeared beside Dong Qinggu and Dong Zhongyuan, watching everything that was unfolding clearly. Dong Zhuoyue immediately spoke in excitement, ”Little Wan, I think you made the right call in rejecting the marriage proposal with the Illusionary Palm Society. Your father is very satisfied with this son-in-law you have found.”

In the beginning, he only saw Xiang Shaoyun as a rich young master, but he now found that he couldn't have been more wrong. He was now certain that Xiang Shaoyun was definitely a core member of some super organization. After all, the talent he was displaying was one no regular young man would have.

Dong Ziwan had not expected her father to say such things. Her face turned red as she said, ”W-we're only friends!”

Dong Zhuoyue was about to reply when Dong Qinggu interjected, ”Little Wan, since he is willing to risk himself to help our clan, it is obvious he thinks very highly of you. A young hero like this is very rare even in large organizations. If you fail to grab on to him, it will be very hard for you to find someone similar in the future.”

Dong Zhongyuan also chimed in, ”That's right. Little Wan, a missed opportunity will be very hard to regain. Be very careful and treasure what you have.”

Dong Ziwan sank into thought before saying, ”I-I'll try.”

In truth, she did have Xiang Shaoyun in her heart. With her elders being so supportive, there was no point for her to hesitate.

”Haha, good. I believe in you!” Dong Zhuoyue smiled in a gratified manner. If their clan could form a relations.h.i.+p with a stronger organization, it would only benefit them.

Time pa.s.sed, and suddenly, everyone's face sank. They found that during the final moments of the tribulation, Xiang Shaoyun had been struck by nine silver lightning bolts at the same time. The defense around him had completely crumbled apart, and he seemed to have been badly hit.

Eventually, the dust settled. Xiang Shaoyun could be seen lying flat in a deep crater, a burnt smell coming from his body. Everyone was stunned. They were wondering if the lightning had struck him to death.

”Xiang Shaoyun!” Dong Ziwan cried out in alarm. Without any hesitation, she rushed forward. However, Dong Qinggu stopped her before she could go far.

”Calm down. He's still alive,” said Dong Qinggu.

Right this moment, a badly damaged purple dragon rose from Xiang Shaoyun's body, spiraling above him as it tried to reform itself. Xiang Shaoyun could also sense the bad shape he was in. Even so, he still maintained a clear mind. With his inner gaze, he studied his lightning bone and found that an astonis.h.i.+ng change had occurred.

”T-this...what in the world is this?” He was completely dumbstruck.
