"Hey, brother, calm down, you can't handle it. Leave it to me. A brother's in trouble, who else would I help?"

Wan Lei quickly pulled back Sui Xiaohang.

"No, this is my Heavenly Tribulation. Though I, Sui Xiaohang, am a wastrel, I'm not a coward. To die with a brother like you, I have no regrets in this life!"

Sui Xiaohang's fighting spirit was ignited at this moment. No matter how Wan Lei tried to dissuade him, he insisted on facing the Heavenly Tribulation head-on.

Helpless, Wan Lei could only let him face it together.

Boom!!!

The second wave of lightning crashed down, striking the Thunder God's Hammer and the lightning-repelling stone.

The lightning-repelling stone in Sui Xiaohang's hand shattered, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Where they stood, the lightning blasted a large pit. Inside the pit, Wan Lei stood unharmed, while Sui Xiaohang lay on the ground, covered in dirt and seriously injured.

"Lei Shao… cough cough, this Heavenly Tribulation is no joke, it's too strong. How did you withstand it?"

As soon as Sui Xiaohang spoke, he spat out a puff of black smoke, looking utterly pathetic.

*Knew* you couldn't do it, weren't you just shouting about facing it head-on?

"Just stand there and don't move. Focus on resisting the aftershocks. I'll take care of your Heavenly Tribulation."

Wan Lei flicked his sleeves, full of heroic spirit.

This posture deeply captivated Sui Xiaohang, who looked at Wan Lei with extreme admiration and shouted, "Damn, Lei Shao, you're so cool! If I were a woman, I'd marry you on the spot."

Wan Lei looked at Sui Xiaohang's face full of pockmarks and his pig-like figure, and couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Get lost, what woman could possibly look like you?"

As Wan Lei spoke, the third wave of lightning tribulation struck instantly. The tribulation grew stronger and stronger, and it was very difficult for him to withstand the lightning tribulation for two people.

This time, he was struck by the lightning tribulation and fell to the ground, coughing up blood.

Sui Xiaohang was deeply moved, sighing that Lei Shao was truly a helpful wastrel.

After a quarter of an hour, Sui Xiaohang's first Heavenly Tribulation finally passed without any major danger.

Wan Lei's energy had also increased several times compared to before. He converted his current energy reserves into corresponding strength, which was roughly equivalent to the seventh level of the Initial Force Realm in this world.

Each time he raised a realm, the energy required would increase exponentially, but the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would also become stronger.

He now had his own and Sui Xiaohang's share of lightning tribulations. According to calculations, he would be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage of this world after passing his and Sui Xiaohang's third lightning tribulations.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about finding more people to increase the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, but his body wouldn't be able to withstand it, and it would also kill others.

It was better to rely on lightning to temper his body and improve his cultivation, so that he could welcome more Heavenly Tribulations.

This wave of Heavenly Tribulation left Wan Lei seriously injured, and Sui Xiaohang was even more miserable. His whole body was covered in blood, his clothes were torn, and anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had blocked the Heavenly Tribulation for Wan Lei.

"Lei Shao, I really owe you this time. I've seen the power of this Heavenly Tribulation. Without you, I would have died for sure."

As he spoke, Sui Xiaohang took out a few healing pills from his storage bag, swallowed two himself, and stuffed the rest into Wan Lei's hands.

"It's okay, I'll help you with the next Heavenly Tribulation."

Wan Lei nodded and said.

"It's just that we're too weak and the Heavenly Tribulation is too small. If a Da Neng in the Tribulation Transcendence stage had a Heavenly Tribulation, I'm afraid our entire Qishan Prefecture would be blasted into渣渣 (zhāzhā - smithereens)."

Sui Xiaohang looked at the devastated grove, feeling lingering fear.

Under the protection of the guards, the two took the medicinal pills and spent half a day recovering from their injuries and changing into clean clothes.

"Let's go, the Heavenly Tribulation is over, let's go back to the city."

Wan Lei stood up and prepared to take his horse.

"Don't, Lei Shao, have you forgotten what we came out here for? Thunder Tribulation Wood, that's a good treasure."

Sui Xiaohang grabbed Wan Lei and said.

"Is that thing useful?"

Wan Lei said dismissively.

"How could it be useless? Look at the wreckage of these lightning-repelling items. Without them, I would have been struck to death long ago."

Sui Xiaohang continued, "I see that your hammer is very powerful, it should be able to absorb lightning power. You have a treasure, but I don't. I have to get that Thunder Tribulation Wood no matter what."

"Alright then, I'll take a trip with you."

Wan Lei jumped onto his horse.

He didn't have any hope for that Thunder Tribulation Wood. If there really was something that could affect the Heavenly Tribulation, it would definitely be priceless and unavailable, how could it be their turn?

The group galloped on horseback, and after half an hour, they arrived in front of a large maple forest, where there was a large manor, which was the Liu family's Maple Forest Manor.

When they arrived there, the two reported their names. Hearing that the two great wastrels of Nanfu City had arrived, the gatekeeper was so frightened that he ran to report to the family head.

For hundreds of miles around, it was all Wan's territory. Everyone knew the names of the two great wastrels and bullies of Nanfu City.

Before long, the Liu family head came out with a group of people and quickly bowed to the two after seeing them.

"Hey Liu, stop with the nonsense, hand over the Thunder Tribulation Wood and we'll leave."

Wang Xiaohang shouted arrogantly, completely forgetting that he had said before that he wouldn't do evil, forgetting the pain of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Wan Lei glared at Sui Xiaohang fiercely, and then said to the Liu family head very politely,

"Liu Family Head, I am willing to spend a lot of money to buy this Thunder Tribulation Wood. As long as you name a price, I believe I, Wan Lei, can afford it."

The Liu family head could only sigh upon hearing this. He knew Wan Lei's character too well. He said he would buy it, but when had he ever paid?

Helpless, the Liu family head could only ask his clansmen to bring the Thunder Tribulation Wood and prepare to hand it over to Wan Lei.

Sui Xiaohang looked at the black Thunder Tribulation Wood in front of him and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Just as he was about to take it, he heard the sound of rapid and chaotic hooves behind him, accompanied by a loud shout:

"I, Wan Tu, have taken a fancy to this Thunder Tribulation Wood. I'd like to see who dares to snatch it from me!"

Wan Lei and Sui Xiaohang turned around upon hearing this, and saw five young men galloping towards them on horseback.

Sui Xiaohang's expression changed drastically after seeing who it was, and he said, "Lei Shao, it seems that we won't be able to get this Thunder Tribulation Wood today.

Wan Tu, from your Second Uncle's lineage, has a cultivation of the fifth level of the Initial Force Realm. His followers are also not weak, they are all famous gang leaders in the city, and each of them has a cultivation of the fourth level of the Initial Force Realm. We can't beat them."

"It's okay, we still have our guards."

Wan Lei looked at Sui Xiaohang and said seriously.

"Stop joking, the adults in our two families are afraid that we'll run wild outside, so the guards they equipped us with are only at the first or second level of the Initial Force Realm. These dozen or so guards can't beat them."
