Chapter 293: Nine Heavenly Thunder Trial

Why would he mock Ye Shiyuan and call him naive?

Bai He had a very clear understanding of his own abilities and limits.

The first trial of the Heartbound Platform was for Bai He to stand on a stone platform and endure nine heavenly lightning strikes.

After nine bolts of heavenly lightning, if he still felt that his choice was worth it, then the trial would be considered passed.

If he gave up midway, the trial would fail.

Each person’s trial was different and it was determined by their strength and physical constitution.

During the process, others were allowed to assist, and there were not that many restrictions.

This trial was aimed solely at Bai He.

He stared blankly at that stone platform.

Then he looked at the heavenly lightning that occasionally flashed across the sky and said, "Shiyuan, I am going."

"Master, I will go with you."

Bai He shook his head. "When I broke through my cultivation before, I also endured nine heavenly lightning strikes. It was considered that the Frostfall Dominion helped me through it. But this time I want to try it myself, and I can do it."

Ye Shiyuan stared at Bai He’s serious expression, without the slightest hint of joking.

"Master, actually you do not need to..."

"I already said, I can do it."

He repeated it once more.

Why was Ye Shiyuan being so indecisive?

Did he really think he was incapable of anything?

After returning from the Frostfall Dominion, he had already grown a lot.

That year and more of time had been extremely dull.

He cultivated day and night.

How tired and how difficult it was, he remembered every detail clearly even now.

If his efforts could not bring results, Bai He would have already left the Frostfall Dominion long ago.

He would never have spent more than a year there.

"Shiyuan, listen to me."

Ye Shiyuan ultimately still nodded.

Since Bai He wanted to try, then he would let him try.

If there was really any danger, he would be nearby, so there should not be any accidents.

"Host, although enduring heavenly thunder is dangerous, it can temper your physique. Even though your body is already very strong, it can still become stronger. Apart from a bit of pain, there is no life-threatening risk. At least according to the data, that is the case."

Bai He was afraid of pain, but he would not miss an opportunity to become stronger.

These nine heavenly thunder strikes were very different from the ones he had faced during his tribulation.

"Wait. When I cannot bear the pain later, you temporarily separate me from my physical body. That way, I will not feel the pain."

Bai He remembered that it had worked that way last time.

So he was very confident that he could pass through this easily, partly because of his own strength, and partly because of this reason.

"Host, I really do not know what to say to you."

Mo Zhu was speechless, but still agreed.

Bai He walked onto the stone platform.

In an instant, he felt something envelop him, and when he reached out to touch it, he only felt like he was touching a transparent glass wall.

"Host, it is coming."

After Mo Zhu shouted, Bai He subconsciously looked up.

His eyes widened and he let out a small gasp before immediately dodging to the side.

But he still crashed into the transparent wall.

This setup was clearly meant to prevent Bai He from escaping.

He could only either endure it or directly speak words of surrender.

There was no other way out.

A bolt of heavenly thunder slammed heavily onto Bai He’s body.

His entire being was engulfed in violent lightning.

The intense pain felt like it was burning through his bones and blood.

It was so painful that even breathing felt like suffocation.

He could not help but curse in his heart, wondering why Mo Zhu had not acted yet.

Did it not realize how unbearable this was for him right now?

He wondered how strong his willpower must be to endure without making even the slightest sound.

If Ye Shiyuan heard even a hint of his suffering, he would probably rush in immediately.

Bai He did not know why he had such a thought, but it just appeared anyway.

"Host, I have already tried, but this place seems different from the situation in the Frostfall Dominion, so..."

So? What did that even mean? Bai He did not even dare to imagine.

Did this "different" mean that he could not escape the pain and had to endure it?

"Isn’t the system supposed to be invincible?"

"Host, the energy of each world is different. This world was originally a male oriented novel world, in fact it is very powerful. At times, even the system has no way to intervene. If the system could help with everything, then there would be no need to choose you as the host."

Whether this made sense or not, Bai He did not know, because he had already lost the ability to resist.

As the heavenly thunder passed, Bai He already had many injuries on his body and these wounds were slowly healing.

This was due to the toughness of Bai He’s own body.

In the sky, continuous rumbling sounds kept echoing.

The second heavenly thunder was already gathering power and it would only be more terrifying than the first strike.

Ye Shiyuan’s hands were tightly clenched into fists as he watched this scene.

He should be standing with him and enduring it together

He was willing to endure so much for him, so why did he insist on bringing Bai He here?

Some of his words were clearly right.

Why did he believe in those baseless so-called futures?

Even without them and relying on himself, he would surely be able to live a smooth and successful life.

"Boom..."

Ye Shiyuan’s brows were tightly furrowed.

He suppressed the urge to rush forward, his expression growing increasingly dark.
