Instant teleportation, a perverted skill like this, if it could be used without any daily limit on the number of times, how terrifying would that be?
After all, even Title Douluo cannot achieve instant teleportation. Now that Jiang Chen possessed this skill, even though it was limited to three uses per day, in battle, it could play a decisive role.
Or, when encountering a powerful enemy, the instant teleportation skill would greatly increase the chances of escape.
Jiang Chen felt somewhat moved in his heart. If it weren't for Bibi Dong, this Lightning Marten might have already escaped, and he wouldn't have obtained this instant teleportation skill.
"Teacher, thank you." He said sincerely.
"I'm your teacher; there's no need to be polite with me about such things. The best repayment to your teacher is for you to cultivate diligently." Bibi Dong smiled.
"It's getting late. Let's head out first. We'll spend one night in the town and set off back tomorrow."
"Yes." Ji Tongling acknowledged the order and led his subordinates to clear the way.
Their carriage had always been parked outside the forest, with people guarding it.
Under swift movement, the group finally returned to the town before sunset.
That night, Jiang Chen still did not return to his own room. He could sense that Hu Liena was still angry with him, so he decided to properly apologize once they returned to the Pope's Palace.
On the way back to the Spirit Hall, Jiang Chen did not board the carriage either; instead, he asked for a horse and rode alongside the group.
Jiang Chen and Hu Liena's strange behavior attracted the interest of many people, but no one dared to inquire about it.
By the time they returned to Spirit City, it was evening again.
During dinner, Hu Liena finally did not avoid Jiang Chen.
The two silently shoveled food into their mouths. After a long while, Jiang Chen finally gathered his words and said, "Senior Sister, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have harbored improper thoughts toward you. I guarantee that from now on, I will never have any ideas about you again. Please don't be angry."
Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, realizing that Jiang Chen had misunderstood the reason for her anger.
"What a pig-headed idiot." Hu Liena was practically driven mad by Jiang Chen.
She forced herself to calm down and said indifferently, "I'm not angry. You can go back first; I want to rest."
She simply couldn't explain; did she have to tell Jiang Chen that she was angry because of another girl?
Jealousy was something she could never say out loud. If anyone was to blame, it was Jiang Chen's pig-headedness for not seeing it.
"Alright then, rest well." Jiang Chen could sense that beneath Hu Liena's calm surface, her resentment toward him had not lessened; in fact, it had grown even more.
He felt somewhat helpless and could only sigh inwardly: A woman's heart is as unfathomable as the needle at the bottom of the sea.
Back in his own room, he no longer thought about Hu Liena.
Since she said she wasn't angry, what else could he do?
The most important thing now was how to survive the upcoming heavenly tribulation.
It had already been a day and a half since he absorbed the soul ring, and the time left for him was running short.
After pondering for a moment, he left the dormitory, planning to go find Bibi Dong.
He needed Bibi Dong's help. Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were the two people he trusted most in the Spirit Hall. He hoped that when he underwent the tribulation, someone could stand guard by his side.
After all, right after crossing the tribulation, he would enter a period of weakness. If he encountered some powerful soul masters, it might be disadvantageous for him.
In any case, Bibi Dong wouldn't understand the tribulation process anyway, so letting her know wouldn't matter.
...
Bibi Dong was not in the study, so Jiang Chen went straight to her room.
"Teacher." He lightly knocked on the door.
"Come in." Bibi Dong's gentle voice came from inside.
"Little Chen, it's so late, what do you need from your teacher?" Bibi Dong asked.
Jiang Chen said, "Teacher, I want to ask for your help with something."
"What is it? If your teacher can help, I certainly will."
"Teacher, my martial soul is a bit special. Every time I absorb a soul ring and break through, within three days, I must undergo a tribulation. The tribulation is heavenly thunder punishment that cannot be avoided, only endured. Each tribulation puts me on the brink of death, and after crossing it, there's also a period of weakness. So, I would like to ask the teacher to stand guard and protect me during my tribulation."
Bibi Dong was shocked and quickly stood up. "Is this thunder punishment really that terrifying? Can Teacher bear it for you instead?"
Jiang Chen felt moved in his heart, but hurriedly shook his head. "Teacher, no, that's impossible. The tribulation cannot be taken by someone else. Moreover, if you enter the range of my tribulation, it will trigger a thunder tribulation corresponding to your own strength, and you would also face a nine-deaths-and-one-life risk."
The worry on Bibi Dong's face grew even heavier. "Then do you have confidence in crossing it?"
Jiang Chen nodded and smiled. "I still have some confidence. After all, I've already experienced the tribulation twice, and my body has developed a certain resistance to lightning. It's just that the power of the thunder tribulation grows stronger each time, so serious injury is inevitable."
"Very well. When do you plan to undergo the tribulation? The teacher will protect you."
"Tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll find a place with no one around." Jiang Chen replied.
"Little Chen, what exactly is your martial soul? The teacher has never heard of any martial soul that attracts thunder punishment after breaking through." Bibi Dong finally voiced the shock in her heart.
"I don't know either." Jiang Chen could only shake his head. Normal zombies don't trigger thunder tribulations when weak, yet he had to face one every time he advanced a major level.
Bibi Dong suddenly thought of something, and a look of delight appeared on her face. "Little Chen, take a look at this."
She extended her fair palm, and on it appeared something resembling a vertebral column.
This vertebral bone was crystal clear, about twenty centimeters long, and as thick as an infant's arm. Lightning continuously flickered across its surface.
Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised. "Teacher, what is this?"
Bibi Dong said, "This is a soul bone I obtained during an adventure long ago. This soul bone is very peculiar; it contains a massive amount of lightning energy. Because the attribute didn't match, I've never used it."
"Your martial soul happens to have a lightning attribute. If you absorb this soul bone, perhaps your chances of crossing the tribulation will increase a bit more."
Only then did Jiang Chen remember that Bibi Dong had previously promised to reward him with a soul bone once he broke through to Soul Elder.
"Teacher, what soul beast's soul bone is this?" Jiang Chen asked curiously as he took it and examined it closely.
Bibi Dong rubbed her hand. In just that short moment, even with her Title Douluo cultivation, she still felt somewhat numb from the lightning energy on the soul bone.
Bibi Dong said, "I don't know what soul beast this soul bone came from, either. It wasn't one I hunted; I picked it up. However, the energy it contains is the most massive and violent among all the soul bones I've ever seen. If you absorb it, you might have to endure quite a bit of pain."
Jiang Chen's eyes gradually brightened, and he grinned. "Teacher, you're underestimating me too much. I've even survived heavenly tribulations; could a mere bone stump me?"
Bibi Dong laughed and scolded, "You brat, don't get too full of yourself. Just absorb it here in the teacher's place. The teacher will watch over you."
"Alright." Jiang Chen nodded.
"Mm, go to bed. The floor is dirty."
