Chapter 240: Blue Silver Emperor Restores Her Cultivation
Several hours later, Nami had successfully managed to break ten water balloons consecutively without failure. After succeeding, the young girl looked at Ning Bei with excitement.
"Master, I did it!"
"Yes, now you can move on to the second phase of the training."
Ning Bei took out a large box from his soul guide device, filled with leather balls the same size as the water balloons. He picked one up and waved it to attract the attention of the others.
"Let's see the second phase of the training first."
"Use irregular soul power rotation to break the leather ball."
With that, Ning Bei injected his soul power into the leather ball, which started to spin erratically. After a moment, a "pop" sounded, and the leather ball burst.
"This is much harder than the water balloon training. You should practice carefully."
"Yes, Master."
Nami obediently nodded, picked up a leather ball, and started practicing.
The others didn't say anything, as they hadn't even mastered the first phase yet.
Ning Bei didn't continue to watch them. This phase would likely take the girls some time to master.
Leaving the Seven Treasure Forest, Ning Bei arrived in front of his room's small courtyard and released the Dan Tower. He had sensed some disturbances earlier.
The Dan Tower flickered for a moment, and a Blue Silver Grass with countless golden patterns appeared in front of him. No, it was more accurate to call it the Blue Silver Emperor.
As the Blue Silver Emperor appeared, countless thunderclouds gathered above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Blue lightning darted like a dragon between the clouds, and after a brief moment, it struck straight down toward the Blue Silver Emperor in the courtyard.
The appearance of the thunderclouds also attracted the attention of Ning Fengzhi and the others. Sword and Bone appeared in the courtyard behind Ning Bei.
"Bei'er, what's happening?"
"The Blue Silver Emperor is going through the 100,000-year tribulation again."
"Blue Silver Emperor?"
Ning Fengzhi widened his eyes, his expression uncertain as he gazed at the Blue Silver Grass in front of him.
But now was not the time for digging deeper, as the first thunderbolt had already arrived above the Blue Silver Emperor's head.
A faint blue glow flashed, blocking the descending thunder, but after just one contact, the blue light shield was covered in cracks and seemed on the verge of breaking.
Just as Ning Bei expected, the second thunderbolt fell. As soon as it touched the light shield, it shattered it, and the furious thunder directly struck the small blue-gold grass.
The Blue Silver Emperor's body shook, and soon it was covered in injuries, with blue-gold liquid flowing from its roots, a clear sign of damage. Another faint blue glow entered the grass's body, and its wounds began to slowly heal.
Ning Bei shook his head. This woman had never communicated with him and had quietly been cultivating the Blue Silver Emperor to the 100,000-year mark in the Dan Tower. Now, she was facing the tribulation again.
However, what puzzled Ning Bei was that, judging from the current situation, it was clear the Blue Silver Emperor wouldn't survive this tribulation. How had she managed to do so before? Was it because she didn't have a soul bone?
Lost in thought, the third thunderbolt struck, hitting the fragile Blue Silver Emperor and making Ning Bei feel anxious for it.
As expected, after three bolts of lightning, the Blue Silver Emperor began to show signs of collapse. Most of its leaves were gone, all shattered by the lightning.
Seeing this, Ning Bei released Lei Yuanyuan from the Dan Tower. When the little potato saw her father, she immediately tried to snuggle up to him, but then she caught the scent of food.
Looking up, she saw another thunderbolt descending.
Lei Yuanyuan licked her tongue and, with small wings on her back, rushed toward the thunderbolt, no longer paying attention to her father. After all, what was more important than food?
The subsequent thunderbolts were all swallowed by Lei Yuanyuan like snacks, and when the thunderclouds dissipated, the little potato crawled into Ning Bei's arms with a look of grievance.
"Dad, I'm still hungry!"
Ning Bei rubbed the little one's head, and several Bodhi Pills appeared in his hand. The sky above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which had just cleared up, was once again covered by dark clouds.
The little potato planted a kiss on Ning Bei's cheek and then patted her belly before rushing toward the sky again.
While Lei Yuanyuan was eating, Ning Bei's finger was wrapped by a thin tendril, and a gentle female voice sounded in his mind.
"Thank you for your help, my benefactor. Ah Yin is truly grateful."
Ning Bei was momentarily stunned. He then took out a transformation pill, melted it with his soul power, and threw it toward Ah Yin.
In no time, a faint blue mist surrounded the Blue Silver Emperor. When the mist dispersed, a woman with long blue hair and delicate features appeared in front of Ning Bei.
The woman slightly bowed in greeting.
"Ah Yin greets my benefactor."
"Hmm."
Ning Bei nodded coldly, his thoughts complicated. Strictly speaking, he had a deep blood feud with the woman in front of him. Logically, the right thing to do would be to eliminate her immediately.
However, after thinking it over, Ning Bei felt there was still room for maneuver. If he couldn't change her mindset, killing her could still be done later.
Ah Yin, seeing Ning Bei wasn't willing to engage with her, took a step back and looked toward the sky where Lei Yuanyuan was.
A few minutes later, the thunderclouds dissipated, and the little potato, after a big burp, returned to Ning Bei's arms, giving him another kiss on the face.
After a while, Ning Bei stored Lei Yuanyuan back in the Dan Tower, and Ning Fengzhi and the others gathered around.
Ning Bei glanced at Ah Yin and said, "You go back to the Dan Tower. We'll talk later."
Ah Yin didn't object and obediently returned to the Dan Tower.
"Bei'er, if I'm not mistaken, this should be Tang Hao's..."
Ning Bei nodded, not intending to hide anything.
"Tang Hao has already been dealt with. Please, Father and the two grandfathers, don't make this public just yet."
Gu Rong and Chen Xin's eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Ning Bei. They hadn't expected the once-dominant Haotian Douluo to have fallen at the hands of their own grandson.
Ning Fengzhi gave Ning Bei a complicated look. He felt like his son was playing a long game, but since Ning Bei wasn't ready to reveal everything, they didn't press him further.
"As long as you've made up your mind. The Blue Silver Emperor situation is a problem, just make sure to handle it."
Ning Bei nodded and threw the Bodhi Pills he had just made to Ning Fengzhi.
"The elders in the family who are stuck at level 89 should get a move on."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up as he took the Bodhi Pills and gave Ning Bei a satisfied look.
"Well then, once the Ice God Hall's branch in Seven Treasure City is set up, we'll head out."
Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin had no objections and left Ning Bei's small courtyard, satisfied.
Back in his room, Ning Bei released Ah Yin again. The two of them stared at each other for a long while, neither of them speaking first.
Ning Bei was thinking about what to do with her, while Ah Yin was still upset about Ning Bei taking the soul bone she had prepared for her son.
After a long silence, it was Ah Yin, still concerned about Tang Hao and his son, who spoke first.
"Please, benefactor, allow Ah Yin to go find my husband and son."
Ah Yin didn't bring up the matter of her soul bone. The fact that he helped her recover her cultivation and pass the tribulation made taking some rewards only reasonable.
