Chapter 1379: No One Is Worthy of Her!

"What's going on?"

After a long while, the golden-robed elder and the second old man finally recovered, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Having lived for several hundred years, they had seen countless lightning tribulations and experienced several themselves. Each time, it brought panic and fear... but this one, like a puff of wind, what the hell?

"Could it be that it built up but didn't release?" the second elder couldn't help asking after holding back for a while.

"Do you think crossing a tribulation is like being constipated..." The golden-robed elder's mouth twitched.

The lightning tribulation was the Heavenly Dao's punishment for those who overstepped, meant to establish heavenly authority and instill awe in life...

Once it accumulated, it would surely unleash violent power. But the one above Luo Xuanqing had been gathering for a long time, yet only produced such a result...

"Perhaps this is just a prelude. In a moment, it will release even more powerful lightning, impossible to defend against... Ah? What's happening?"

As he was speculating, his eyes widened again, an expression of disbelief, as if seeing a ghost.

The second elder hurriedly looked up at the sky and saw that the lightning, which had originally spread over a dozen kilometers, was now churning violently, as if convulsing.

After several convulsions, it shuddered violently, like vomiting, and a figure was spat out from the dark clouds.

It was the young man who had charged into the clouds earlier.

After being spat out, the young man flew into a rage, pointing at the lightning tribulation and gnashing his teeth.

"Kid, you've grown bold, daring to spit me out? Believe me, I'll kill you..."

As he spoke, he roared and charged toward the dark clouds in the sky. But before he could reach them, the lightning that terrified everyone made him flinch in fear...

Zzzt!

It fled, vanishing in the blink of an eye, no longer visible.

"It scared away the lightning?"

The golden-robed elder and the second elder exchanged glances again. The intense shock nearly made them lose control of their power and reveal themselves from their hidden state.

Earlier, they had thought that charging into the lightning was a suicidal act, certain death.

Now, seeing him with hands on his hips, cursing the lightning, which not only dared not resist but fled like a beaten dog... they realized it wasn't that Luo Xuanqing's tribulation was weak, but that this seemingly unremarkable fellow was too fierce.

"This is a talent. We must recruit him into the Luo family!"

After the shock, the golden-robed elder instructed.

Although what he did was incredible and astonishing, the Saint Son Hall, as a gathering place for geniuses on the continent, might indeed produce someone with special abilities to counter heavenly tribulations.

Such a genius must be recruited into their family for thorough study.

"Yang Xuan's disciple may not come to our Luo family..." The second elder shook his head.

Yang Xuan was a supreme elder at the headquarters of the Master Teacher Hall. His student would most likely enter the Master Teacher Hall, how could he join another family!

"That's true..." The golden-robed elder's face was full of regret.

Although he wanted this person to join their family, he didn't have the courage to compete with the Master Teacher Hall headquarters.

"We'll report this to the family head. The little princess has already returned. Let's hurry and not delay the elder council."

After thinking for a while with no other solution, the golden-robed elder said no more and waved his hand.

"Yes!" The second elder nodded. With a light sweep of his hand, a huge teleportation array appeared before them. They stepped into it and vanished instantly, as if they had never been there.

...

After cursing for a long time, Zhang Xuan was still furious but had no way out.

With such a huge lightning tribulation, under normal circumstances, he could have fully replenished the true qi in his body. But with the gourd, the vine, and the clone causing trouble, he only replenished half...

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.

It seemed he could only wait for his brother-in-law's top-grade spirit stones and then figure something out.

The first replenishment of true qi in the dantian required the purest power, but once depleted, subsequent replenishment wouldn't be so troublesome.

It was like the first time was expanding territory. Once successful, guarding it later would be much easier, and the requirements for spirit stones wouldn't be as high.

That was why, when replenishing his true qi for the first time, he needed treasures far superior to top-grade essence spirit stones. But after depletion, absorbing qi from ordinary spirit veins could fully replenish it.

After sulking, he looked down and saw the gourd lying smugly in his dantian, occasionally wiggling its bottom as if taunting him.

The clone had also returned to the folded space, stretching and burping, looking well-fed and content.

As for the vine, it behaved more normally, lying limp like a whip in the storage ring, motionless.

"What kind of stuff are these..." Seeing their antics, Zhang Xuan was speechless.

For others, having the ability to devour lightning tribulations would shock everyone and be envied... But here, anything that popped out could do it, while he himself was the weakest...

Full of grievance.

When could he also be impressive?

"Ah, I'm too ordinary..."

He sighed.

His disciples, girlfriend, clone... all stronger than him, that was one thing. Now even a random gourd he picked up was so heaven-defying. If his heart weren't strong enough, he would have died of shame.

"Master Zhang..."

Just as he was feeling stifled, he heard a voice nearby. Turning around, he saw Luo Xuanqing, who had somehow come up to him, his face full of shock.

He had thought the other could only scare away his own tribulation, but never dreamed he could do it to others' as well...

With such an ability, wouldn't seeking him out during tribulation mean a hundred percent success rate?

“Brother Luo…”

Seeing through his thoughts, Zhang Xuan’s body trembled, and his originally somewhat ruddy complexion instantly turned pale: “I used a special secret technique, similar to the method I used to help you resolve your bloodline burning. It cannot be used lightly. I hope Brother Luo will not spread it or reveal it…”

“…” Luo Xuanqing’s eyebrows twitched.

If you’re going to lie, at least be sincere. Turning pale in advance… that’s just too exaggerated.

Seeing the other’s expression, he knew the man was unwilling to disclose the matter. He silently praised him, feeling that he was as low-key as himself, and immediately asked no further.

“Thank you, Master Zhang, for helping me through the thunder tribulation. Otherwise, this time would have been fraught with danger…”

He sighed, still shaken.

Just now, in his urgency, he had triggered the thunder tribulation without considering the consequences. Only when the thunder appeared did he realize how terrifying the Void Tribulation was.

If the other had come any later, he would most likely have been struck dead on the spot, unable to escape even by using his bloodline power.

“Brother Luo, weren’t you planning to undergo the tribulation inside the Holy Son Hall? How did you suddenly… what exactly happened?”

Frowning, Zhang Xuan asked.

“I came to find my sister, to ask if what Zhang Feng said was really true…”

Luo Xuanqing shook his head: “Forget it, let’s not talk about it…”

“The little princess, she…”

Seeing the other stop mid-sentence, Zhang Xuan grew anxious: “Where is she? Is she injured?”

“Injured?” Luo Xuanqing shook his head: “How could that be? My sister has refined the Still Void Pearl. If she really used her strength, even Father couldn’t do anything to her… No one in the Luo family can harm her anymore…”

After sighing, he suddenly looked up warily at the young man before him: “Why are you asking about this?”

“I…” Zhang Xuan was at a loss for words.

“I warn you, although we have a good relationship and I recognize your abilities, you’d better not have any ideas about my sister…”

“This… why?” Zhang Xuan couldn’t help frowning: “You should know that she is unwilling to marry that little genius of the Zhang family…”

“I know she’s unwilling, but this is the best choice…”

Shaking his head, Luo Xuanqing looked somewhat dejected: “Alright, let’s not talk about this topic…”

“But…”

Zhang Xuan was anxious.

“There is no ‘but’ about it. I happen to have a matter I need your help with.”

Luo Xuanqing looked at him.

“Brother Luo, just say it. If I can do it, I will not shirk my duty.”

Hearing the other had a matter, Zhang Xuan looked over.

He knew this brother-in-law was genuine and usually didn’t trouble others. Since he spoke, it must be something difficult.

“Help me find out who it is that made my sister openly defy the family to be with him.”

A gleam flashed in Luo Xuanqing’s eyes as he spoke.

“This…”

Zhang Xuan’s mouth twitched. After a moment’s hesitation, he tentatively asked: “If you find him, what do you plan to do?”

“What do I plan to do?”

Luo Xuanqing ground his teeth: “If I don’t break all three of his legs, I’ll change my surname from Luo…”

“…” Zhang Xuan’s forehead veins bulged.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing his strange expression, Luo Xuanqing looked over.

“Nothing, just curious. Since you dote on your sister so much, and this person is the one your sister likes… why do you want to hit him?”

Full of doubt, Zhang Xuan was puzzled.

Since the man before him was a sister-obsessed maniac, shouldn’t he be happy that his sister had found happiness? Why was he about to strike himself?

“No reason! I just think he’s not worthy of my sister…” Luo Xuanqing snorted.

“Not worthy? You haven’t even met him, how do you know he’s not worthy?”

Zhang Xuan was unconvinced.

Saying that pretentious little genius wasn’t worthy of his sister made sense, but himself… he was certainly qualified!

In any respect, he was far superior to that little genius.

“Hmph, no man is worthy of her. No one is.”

A gleam flashed in Luo Xuanqing’s eyes as he snorted.

“But… your sister has to marry someone eventually, right? It’s impossible for you to keep her by your side forever…”

Zhang Xuan couldn’t understand his thinking.

“Anyway, I feel no one is worthy of her, especially since the person she likes is said to be not very strong…”

Luo Xuanqing said.

“Not very strong?”

Zhang Xuan couldn’t help looking at him: “Did she say who the person she likes… is?”

“Of course she did…”

Suddenly turning his head, Luo Xuanqing was murderous.
