Yan Xiaobao said nothing. Instead, his eyes kept scanning the clouds overhead. "This is it. The lightning will strike soon. Use all of your Inner Energy to protect yourself, and if it's going to cause too much damage, toss aside a small piece of metal to act as a lightning rod for the strike. Aim for those large rocks," she said, pointing at two massive boulders twenty meters away.
Yan Xiaobao nodded as he looked to the sky, gritting his teeth as he tightly clutched the piece of metal. He delved into his Lower Dantian and activated the beast core, letting crimson energy surge outward, wrapping around him like a shield. Yan Xiaobao was determined to finish forging as quickly as possible. Since everything depended on how much lightning he could withstand, he was willing to expend every ounce of energy in his body to resist it.
