The twitching of his left eyelid involuntarily made him think of tomorrow's tribulation gift package.
He carefully recalled that it seemed every time the tribulation gift package appeared, the rewards inside were exactly what he needed next.
For example, the first time it gave him Lightning Fist and Three Thousand Thunderbolt Steps when he wanted to defeat Tang San, resulting in the fist technique and movement skill.
Also, right before he was about to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the system sent him the pill formula.
This made him have no choice but to suspect that the system could read his thoughts and then arrange gifts according to his actual situation.
"But this time it seems like I don't need anything in particular? I'm about to go to the Slaughter City, could it be giving me something related to the Slaughter City?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of Slaughter City, a place filled with slaughter, which actually made him feel a little expectant.
...
Early morning. Jiang Chen and Hu Liena were eating breakfast together.
Hu Liena had already changed into a neat and tidy combat outfit, giving off quite a heroic aura, like a female war god.
However, there was some fatigue on her face. She had already undergone two days of combat training, practicing close-range killing techniques, and the intensity was somewhat high for her.
A moment later, the two walked out.
"Do your best!" Jiang Chen patted Hu Liena's shoulder.
"Mm, come back soon to keep me company, I won't be able to hold on much longer." Hu Liena's tone carried a bit of complaint.
"Alright, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be back before afternoon."
Immediately after, the two separated. Jiang Chen headed toward Bibi Dong's study.
"Teacher." Jiang Chen called out once and pushed open the door.
Bibi Dong was already waiting inside.
Seeing Jiang Chen enter, she immediately stood up.
"Let's set off."
Without any delay, the two left through the same passage as last time and finally arrived at the cave behind the waterfall.
Bibi Dong's Six-Winged Purple Light Wings burst out from her clothes, and Jiang Chen also released his Thunder Light Wings.
After absorbing the medicinal power of the blood ginseng and rising to level 40, he had accumulated quite a bit of soul power. After absorbing the fourth soul ring, that accumulated soul power directly allowed him to advance to level 42.
Moreover, the energy from the thirty-thousand-year soul ring, aside from the majority used to generate the fourth soul skill, had a small portion absorbed by him, raising him another level.
His soul power had now reached level 43, and the distance he could fly was already somewhat farther than before.
However, for the last small segment of the journey, his soul power was still exhausted, and he was carried flying by Bibi Dong.
He really wanted to say that being carried by the back of his clothes while flying felt truly awful.
In the end, it was because his cultivation was too low; he simply couldn't use the hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill for a long time.
It was still the same mountain peak as last time. Jiang Chen could vaguely make out some traces scorched by lightning.
He immediately sat cross-legged and took out a soul power recovery pill.
The effect of this pill was far better than the medicinal pill Bibi Dong had given him during the last tribulation. By the time the pill was exhausted, his soul power had already recovered to its peak state.
"Teacher, this tribulation might have thirty-six bolts of lightning. Rest assured, I can make it through."
Jiang Chen reminded her once, afraid that Bibi Dong would again be unable to hold back, and wanted to rush over like last time.
"Mm, Teacher will just watch from the side."
Her wings vibrated, turning into a streak of purple lightning as she appeared on the adjacent mountain peak.
Jiang Chen no longer hesitated and immediately drew down the heavenly tribulation, allowing thunder to penetrate his body.
Every time he underwent tribulation, the soul power in his body, which had already been purified by the corpse pill, would be tempered once more, becoming extremely condensed.
Bolts of lightning descended from the sky, pouring in from the top of Jiang Chen's head and rampaging through his body.
What surprised him was that this time, his eyes were specially targeted by the lightning energy.
The eyes were an extremely fragile organ of the human body and could easily suffer severe damage.
At first, Jiang Chen didn't pay attention and nearly had his eyeballs blasted apart by the sudden surge of thunder energy.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and immediately mobilized his soul power to protect his eyes.
However, thunder energy still drilled in and out of his two eyeballs, causing him excruciating pain.
He discovered that the pain coming from his eyes was actually far more intense than the pain from his internal organs being eroded by lightning.
During this tribulation, he directly ignored the other parts of his body and focused all his attention on his eyes.
The pain was simply too intense; even with his nerves having been tempered by lightning multiple times, he almost couldn't bear it.
He nearly wanted to point at the sky and curse loudly.
"Did my eyes offend you or something? These past few days, I only looked a few more times at Senior Sister and Xue'er's bodies. It's not worth targeting me like this, right?"
Of course, he could only shout this aggrievedly in his heart.
For the first twenty-seven bolts of lightning, his body didn't suffer serious damage, but his two eyeballs had already approached the verge of shattering.
Whenever the lightning receded, he would immediately consume a healing pill. Combined with his already freakish recovery ability, he did his best to heal the injuries to his eyes.
He was very worried that if his eyes were blasted to pieces by the lightning, he didn't know whether they could still regrow out of nowhere.
Fortunately, he had brought enough pills, and this batch of pills was refined using the spiritual herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with effects far superior to before, allowing him to persist safely until now.
Jiang Chen's face was as heavy as iron as he looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky. The black tribulation clouds now carried a trace of red, emanating a terrifying pressure.
He knew that the final nine bolts of lightning would see a massive increase in power.
Boom!
A somewhat reddish bolt of lightning seemed to tear through space as it came straight down toward the top of Jiang Chen's head.
Jiang Chen only managed to hold firm for two seconds before being smashed down.
Bibi Dong could clearly see that in the instant Jiang Chen fell, his two eyes, wide open toward the sky, directly exploded, blood and flesh scattering outward.
"Little Chen!"
Bibi Dong covered her red lips with her jade hand, tears already welling in her beautiful eyes.
That was her beloved disciple, yet he was being tormented so cruelly by the heavens.
If Jiang Chen hadn't reminded her earlier, she would have already rushed over.
After a moment, Jiang Chen shakily stood back up. His body clad in black armor, in a ferocious zombie form, raised his head and let out an unyielding roar toward the sky.
However, at his eye sockets, there were no longer any eyeballs—only two large holes gushing blood outward.
For the next few bolts of lightning, Jiang Chen could no longer stand. His roars grew weaker and weaker, yet they remained firm.
When the final red bolt of lightning fell, Bibi Dong didn't hesitate for even a moment and instantly arrived beside Jiang Chen.
Looking at Jiang Chen, whose entire body was pitch-black like a piece of charred wood, Bibi Dong felt immense heartache.
"Little Chen, are you… still alright?" Her voice trembled from nervousness.
"Teacher, I'm fine." Jiang Chen used his last bit of strength to say this sentence.
The sun overhead was dazzling, but his world had already turned completely pitch-black.
He could only pin his hopes on the grand gift package from the system.
His consciousness was already somewhat blurry, but he forced himself to stay awake and entered the system space.
A sparkling gift box was waiting for him to open.
Without any hesitation, he opened the gift box. A flash of golden light appeared, revealing only two items.
Seeing that water-drop-shaped item, Jiang Chen's mind surged with excitement, and he immediately consumed it.
The grieving Bibi Dong had just wanted to crouch down and carry Jiang Chen back when Jiang Chen's body suddenly erupted with astonishing radiance.
Broken bones and tattered flesh rapidly recovered.
Jiang Chen regained a bit of strength and immediately took out a piece of clothing to cover his private area.
