Chapter 350 Which conspicuous bag is undergoing tribulation in the central square?
Compared to the orderly students of Wanjue Academy, a group of reporters seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
They rushed forward as soon as they spotted Jiang He, afraid that their competitors would get the information first.
The reporters who had been lying in wait pushed through the crowd, even more frenzied than the cultivators of the Myriad Absolutes Academy.
Jiang He's classmate, a sword cultivator, was about to greet her when he was pushed out of the crowd.
The sky suddenly changed, clouds gathered, and large swathes of clouds floated in the sky, with a blue light like a silver dragon spanning the sky.
The sudden flash of lightning outside the window left the students and cultivators of Wanjue Academy somewhat bewildered.
They remembered that yesterday's weather forecast said today would be sunny.
Just fifteen minutes ago the sky was clear and sunny, how come it's now filled with dark clouds and lightning?
Moreover, this lightning was exceptionally frightening.
The moment the lightning struck, the bright lights in the hall paled in comparison.
Before they could even think, they looked down and vaguely sensed a figure rushing out at lightning speed.
The reporters who wanted to rush up and interview Jiang He mostly stayed put.
There's no other reason than that the arrow that was released from the bow was none other than Jiang He!
There was an empty space where Jiang He was standing, and Jiang He herself had already arrived at the square outside the hall.
If one word could describe Jiang He's current feelings, it would be fear and trepidation.
I am extremely terrified.
After leaving the holographic capsule, Jiang He felt the golden core burning hot, so hot that the temperature of her lower abdomen rose considerably.
Immediately afterwards, while Jiang He was still conscious, the golden core in her dantian cracked open.
Jiang He immediately sensed something was wrong.
Breaking through the elixir and forming the nascent soul is the Nascent Soul stage.
From the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, one still needs to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation.
To advance to the Golden Core stage, one must undergo the Forty-Nine Minor Heavenly Tribulations, which consist of thirty-six heavenly lightning strikes.
Advancing to the Nascent Soul stage involves undergoing the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, which is equivalent to the Fifty-Four Heavenly Thunders.
After the Integration Stage, one must undergo the Great Heavenly Tribulation to advance to the Integration Stage, which requires passing through eighty-one heavenly lightning strikes.
Advancement requires a relatively safe environment.
Jiang He can guarantee his own safety, but he obviously cannot guarantee the safety of the other cultivators.
If caught in the heavenly lightning, ordinary people without cultivation are very likely to die, while cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage have unstable cultivation and will suffer a decline in cultivation if they interfere with the heavenly tribulation of others.
The hall was bustling with people, including not only cultivators from the academy but also some reporters without cultivation. Jiang He was probably going to have a fresh, trending topic on social media within fifteen minutes—
[Shocking! Fifteen students injured and one dead during the tribulation of lightning at Wanjue Academy]
Jiang He didn't want a similar trending topic to appear, so she immediately found a spacious place and then casually grabbed Shangguan Linghu in the crowd:
"Senior, I'm about to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. There's heavenly lightning. Could you please keep an eye on things and disperse the crowd?"
Upon receiving Jiang He's message, Shangguan Linghu responded immediately.
After she finished replying, Shangguan Linghu suddenly realized something:
What?! He's advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?! Holy crap!
If she remembered correctly, Jiang He was at the peak of the late Golden Core stage before entering the Academy Competition, and the Academy Competition had only been going on for about two months.
So, in just two months, he's already on his way to the Nascent Soul stage from the late Golden Core stage?
She remembered that even at the peak of the late Golden Core stage, it was very difficult to advance without taking a year or two. For example, she had been stuck at the Golden Core stage for several years.
For many cultivators, advancing from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core is one hurdle, and advancing from Golden Core to Nascent Soul is another. Every hurdle after that is extremely difficult to overcome.
It involves opportunity, luck, and ability.
Sometimes, those who forcefully accumulate resources to advance to the Golden Core stage will run out of steam and find it difficult to break through in the later stages.
That's why Shangguan Linghu was so shocked by Jiang He's cultivation speed.
Ever since Shangguan Linghu learned about Jiang He's cultivation journey, Jiang He's cultivation level has increased almost every time they meet in reality.
As for now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, their Wanjue Academy will soon have another Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
The incident happened suddenly, but Shangguan Linghu did not forget what Jiang He had told her.
One second Shangguan Linghu was still in shock, the next second she activated the sound amplification function on her personal computer and started shouting:
"Attention! Attention! A cultivator is undergoing tribulation lightning in the central square. All cultivators and residents in the square, please leave immediately..."
"Attention! Attention! A cultivator is undergoing tribulation lightning in the central square. All cultivators and residents in the square, please leave immediately..."
"Attention! Attention! A cultivator is undergoing tribulation lightning in the central square. All cultivators and residents in the square, please leave immediately..."
After recording the audio, Shangguan Linghu started playing it on a loop, and his voice could be heard throughout almost the entire square and even in the nearby school buildings.
After inspecting the square and finding no one lingering, Shangguan Linghu quickly asked a fellow student, Zhen Xiu, to set up a defensive array.
Instantly, the central square was covered by a defensive shield. Just in case, Shangguan Ling tore off a communication talisman to summon Ma Qian from the sword cultivator class to come and help.
People were never idle for a moment.
After giving her instructions, Jiang He immediately sat down and squatted down, allowing spiritual energy to circulate throughout her body.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, but no heavy rain fell for a long time.
The students of Wanjue Academy who were dispersed were initially unaware of what had happened, since most of them had gone to the hall to watch the students participating in the Academy Grand Competition.
Suddenly, I heard someone in the central square dispersing the students.
The recording that Shangguan Linghu was playing on a loop was extremely loud before they realized that someone was undergoing a tribulation of lightning in the central square.
Upon hearing this news, the Wan Jue cultivators exchanged bewildered glances. They remembered that someone had posted on the campus forum last time about a freshman sword cultivator undergoing tribulation in the sword arena.
This time it's not the fencing arena, it's the central plaza's turn?
Is it Foundation Establishment advancing to Golden Core, or Golden Core advancing to Nascent Soul? Why are cultivators these days undergoing tribulation in public places, one after another? Do they have anyone protecting them before they even begin? Aren't they afraid of failing?
Some were puzzled, some were confused, but driven by curiosity, they walked toward the square.
There was a magic array in the central square, and the protective barrier was hazy, making it impossible to clearly see the cultivators inside.
"What major is he from? Advancing in the central square? That's too audacious."
"Indeed, I see that apart from a magic circle, there are no teachers or anything like that in the central square. Is this a real tribulation or just some abstract thing to grab attention?"
"Damn, this is so annoying. Another conspicuous person. Does he have to undergo his tribulation in the central square? I just flew over on my sword and almost bumped into him."
"Uh, there's a no-fly zone in the central square. You're just asking for trouble by flying around on your sword here."
More and more unsuspecting students gathered around the edge of the protective shield.
Shangguan Linghu frequently appeared in various departments and was basically a familiar face to the students of Wanjue Academy. When she went to borrow pills from her classmates, many students recognized her:
"Senior, do you know who's undergoing tribulation here? That's incredibly audacious!"
