Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 41 The Wan Family's Great Bell Rings
And Wan Lei's foundation platform was an unprecedented lightning foundation platform, the entire platform made of lightning.
Wan Lei completely passed the third wave of tribulation lightning, and he and Sui Xiaohang returned to Wan Hongxin and the others.
Seeing Wan Lei's clothes torn and covered in dirt, Wan Hongxin felt extremely distressed.
"Lei'er, how did it go? Did you succeed?"
Wan Hongxin asked anxiously.
Wan Lei scratched his head and stammered, "I guess I succeeded."
"What do you mean 'I guess'? You've established your foundation platform now, haven't you? I can feel the pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage coming from you."
Wan Hongxin frowned.
"Dad, I remember learning at the academy, isn't the foundation platform supposed to look like a rectangular prism? Although the color of the platform will vary slightly depending on the cultivation technique, that's right, isn't it?"
Wan Lei spread his hands and asked.
"That's right, what's wrong?"
Wan Hongxin was intelligent; he immediately asked, "Is there something wrong with your foundation platform?"
"Well, I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, let's go back and study it slowly."
Wan Lei sighed.
Wan Hongxin knew that Wan Lei had a congenital lightning body, and his talent was heaven-defying, so it was normal for him to have unusual qualities, so he nodded in agreement.
Sui Potian pretended not to know anything and slapped Sui Xiaohang on the head, scolding with a smile:
"You brat, look at Wan Lei, he's the same age as you and has already established his foundation, but look at you, all you do is play around all day, and you're still only at the third level of the Initial Force realm. You're almost struck to death by lightning, and you still don't know how to improve."
Sui Xiaohang said unconvinced, "Fourth level, since the first time I was struck by lightning, have you seen me go out to play? I've been cultivating every day, okay?"
Everyone laughed and returned to Nanfu City together.
After returning home, Wan Lei had Wan Hongxin use his divine sense to probe his body and thoroughly examine the foundation platform in his dantian.
When Wan Hongxin saw this foundation platform, he was also taken aback. He had never seen a foundation platform with such an irregular shape before.
He had seen many lightning-attribute cultivators, but those people's foundation platforms were also rectangular, containing spiritual energy, which they would then convert into lightning power using techniques and divine abilities when attacking.
How could Wan Lei's be like this, with the foundation platform full of lightning power, without a trace of spiritual energy, and it seemed... that the entire platform was made of lightning.
Lightning is formless and without substance, so it was reasonable for it to transform into this irregular foundation platform.
"Your father doesn't know what's going on with your foundation platform, maybe it's because of your innate lightning body, but it should be a good thing.
After all, the last congenital lightning body was the Lightning Emperor Ancestor, and no one knows what his foundation platform looked like. Now, use your full strength to attack me, and I'll observe your combat power to judge the merits of your foundation platform."
Wan Hongxin said.
Wan Lei nodded, took out the Lightning God's Hammer, and said, "Dad, be careful."
Wan Hongxin smiled contemptuously upon hearing this and said, "Come on, be careful of what, with your little Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, how could you possibly hurt me?"
Wan Lei didn't say anything more upon hearing this, and he fully condensed lightning, striking towards Wan Hongxin.
Boom!!!
A loud noise was heard, and Wan Hongxin took two steps back, his figure somewhat unstable, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Wan Lei was startled. This was just his ordinary full-strength strike. He hadn't used any divine abilities or external lightning enhancement, yet it could make Wan Hongxin, who was at the upper level of the Core Formation stage, retreat?
Wan Hongxin took a deep breath and said, "Your father is fine. Your strength is not strong, but the reason why I retreated unsteadily was because of the paralyzing effect of the lightning.
Your combat power is about the same as the power of an early-stage mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Not bad, you are at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, and you can exert the power of the middle stage, which shows that your foundation platform is the best ever."
Wan Lei was relieved to hear this, as long as there was no problem with his foundation platform.
The next day, they went to Sui Potian's manor to help Sui Xiaohang pass through the heavenly tribulation.
And Wan Lei also successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the early Foundation Establishment realm.
The two successfully passed through the third wave of heavenly tribulation, and Wan Lei's Foundation Establishment cultivation was completely stabilized.
Sui Potian was very happy and immediately held a banquet in the manor, where the four of them drank to their heart's content.
After returning home, Wan Lei had nothing to do, so he began to study a divine ability that Wan Hongxin had found for him, called Leiming Po (Thunderclap Burst), which could allow him to better condense lightning.
Wan Lei didn't pay much attention to this divine ability. When it came to condensing lightning, nothing could compare to his Lightning God's Soul, but this divine ability could attack the enemy's divine sense with the sound of thunder, so Wan Lei began to cultivate it.
Something is better than nothing.
On the morning of the third day after he returned home, Wan Lei heard a loud bell ringing in the distance.
This bell was the Nanfu City Lord's bell of the Wan Clan, which would usually only ring during celebrations or other major events.
This bell was used to summon the clansmen. All the Wan clansmen in Nanfu City were required to immediately rush to the City Lord's Mansion after hearing it to await orders.
The City Lord's Mansion was where Wan Zhentian lived alone. Wan Lei's home was behind the City Lord's Mansion, and he immediately rushed to the City Lord's Mansion after hearing the bell.
After all, clansmen who failed to arrive after hearing the bell would be severely punished.
When Wan Lei arrived at the large square in front of the City Lord's Mansion, it was already filled with many Wan Clan members.
He didn't know until he saw it, and he was shocked when he did.
Looking at the thousands of clansmen in front of him, Wan Lei realized that he had underestimated the Wan Clan. It was true that there were only his grandfather's and second grandfather's families in the direct line, but there were too many illegitimate and collateral clansmen.
What Wan Lei didn't know was that this was still the result of the six major families of the Thunderwind Realm and the other three forces of Qishan Prefecture constantly suppressing them. Otherwise, after these 50,000 years, the Wan Clan's clansmen would have multiplied to an unknown number.
People were still arriving. At this rate, when all the Wan Clan members of Nanfu had gathered, there would probably be tens of thousands of people. And this was only the Wan Clan of Nanfu, there were also the East, West, and North Faction, as well as the main Faction, which had the most clansmen.
This was only the Wan Clan, the descendants of the Lightning Emperor in Qishan Prefecture. Throughout the entire Thunderwind Realm, no one knew how many families with the surname Wan there were. Wan Hongxin had once said that in the entire Thunderwind Realm, those with the surname Wan accounted for as much as 10%, and the other 90% of the population had thousands of surnames.
At the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion square, Wan Lei saw his grandfather and his father, Wan Hongxin.
Standing next to his grandfather Wan Zhentian was a withered old man, exuding the pressure of the Core Formation stage, with an arrogant expression, and the position he was standing in was actually level with Wan Zhentian.
In the entire Wan Clan of Nanfu, there was only one person who dared to do this, and that was his second grandfather, Wan Xiaotian!
Behind Wan Xiaotian was Wan Honglin, Wan Jin's father, whom Wan Lei had once seen during the academy competition that day.
The surrounding clansmen were all discussing among themselves, wondering what major event had occurred that had brought several big shots of Nanfu together and even rung the Wan Clan's bell.
