However, with Hero Yan's Cultivation, Enduring the Lightning Tribulation Is Indeed Difficult. Since That's the Case, He Could Try Using Magic Treasures to Resist It, but That Isn't a Good Method—It Won't Temper His Body, Leaving Him Innately Weaker than Others at the Soul Formation Stage

"We should find a way to temporarily bolster Hero Yan's body." Just then, Meng Jingzhou had an idea. "How about this: Hero Yan temporarily seizes my body and takes control of it to undergo the lightning tribulation, tempering his soul in the process. Meanwhile, he can balance his own corpse on top of my head, which will temper his physical body." "Once both soul and body are tempered, putting them back together means everything's been tempered." Yan Chuan felt this method wasn't terribly reliable. After back-and-forth discussions, everyone finally settled on the most straightforward approach: feeding him pills. Among the storage rings just confiscated, there were pills designed for temporary bursts of power. Made for the Soul Formation stage, their effects were absolutely dependable. If Hero Yan felt he couldn't make it through, he could just pop one. "Hero Yan, relax and believe in yourself." Lu Yang ultimately didn't forget the Immortal Fairy's advice, cheering Yan Chuan on before the tribulation began. "I will not let you down!" Yan Chuan cupped his fists, his expression resolute. He was now brimming with unprecedented confidence. With five immortal sect disciples going all out to help him, it would be downright embarrassing if he still lacked faith in himself. Yan Chuan went up to the mountain peak and told everyone to keep their distance. First, he consumed the Spirit Concentration Pill. The foot that had lingered hesitantly outside the Soul Formation stage finally crossed the threshold! His entire body felt like glowing red fire, burning hot from the inside out. Rumble! Dark clouds gathered densely, churning ceaselessly like spilled ink. Lightning flared and thunder roared between them, dancing wildly like dragons and serpents and illuminating the night sky as bright as day. "Come at me!" Yan Chuan roared, projecting the desperate aura of someone burning his bridges. A searing purple thunderbolt cleaved down from the highest heavens. Splitting the air with unstoppable force and unmatched fury, it struck straight at Yan Chuan with the might to obliterate everything in its path. With half-closed eyes, he let out a low shout and formed a hand seal. In an instant, radiant golden light erupted around him, forming a massive golden shield that took the brunt of the mountain-shattering celestial lightning head-on. Watching this unfold, the other two heroes were deeply shaken. The power of the lightning tribulation was horrifying—could their elder brother truly withstand it? "This lightning tribulation doesn't look all that strong, does it?" Man Gu sent via sound transmission. "An ordinary Soul Formation lightning tribulation is just like this," Li Haoran explained. To them, such tribulation lightning was like a light drizzle, but to Yan Chuan, it was a monumental trial. As the thunderclouds churned, bolts of lightning fell in succession, each more powerful and terrifying than the last, as though intent on shattering Yan Chuan's Dao heart and physical body together. Yet Yan Chuan didn't take a single pill. Relying solely on his own cultivation, he withstood baptism after baptism of tribulation lightning. Once the lightning tribulation passed, the dark clouds dispersed. Yan Chuan sat cross-legged atop the mountain peak, his clothes tattered and his hair charred black, looking like a beggar. He opened his eyes, feeling the power he had just acquired. Unable to contain his joy, he burst into hearty laughter. Flying down the mountain, he bowed deeply before Lu Yang and the other four. "Thank you all for your help! Yan Chuan could never repay such immense benevolence!" "Elder Brother, you succeeded?!" The voices of the other two heroes trembled as they hugged Yan Chuan, laughing through their tears. Yan Chuan couldn't hold back his tears either. He had thought he would waste away his life in the Nascent Soul realm with no hope of ever reaching Soul Formation. Who could have imagined that with the help of Lu Yang and the others, he would successfully advance to the Soul Formation stage without even taking a single burst pill! Pleased with herself, the Immortal Fairy wasn't the least bit surprised. "Well? Didn't I say you could get through it just with confidence?" Lu Yang was genuinely shocked. He had never expected confidence to be so effective. In that case, couldn't he undergo his own tribulation the same way? "With this immortal covering you, you'll definitely be bursting with confidence! There won't be any problem when you undergo your tribulation!" Lu Yang's steadfast confidence began to waver.
