There were many bird clans apart from the four winged rocs, who had come to watch the show. There were even those from the goshawk clans who had come because they received news.

After sensing the aura that Little Roc was releasing, everyone one of the bird clans were shocked. Especially so for the goshawks, whose expressions were extremely dark.

They had rushed here as soon as possible, but they had still missed it by a hair’s breath!

Now, Little Roc had already completely awakened the Great Roc’s bloodline. That was to say that he was now a Great Roc, and no longer a four winged roc.

As long as he was able to pa.s.s the trial of lightning, he would be the king of the rocs!

Goshawk saw how excited the four winged rocs were, and said coldly on the side, “We still don’t know whether or not he will be able to pa.s.s the lightning trails! It would be best if he was electrocuted to death!”

“Leader, look! The clouds are changing!” One that looked like a goshawk said happily as he looked up at the thunderous clouds.

Everyone lifted their heads to look over, and saw that the clouds had stopped shooting lightning down. Instead, it was increasing in strength, and those dark clouds got larger and denser. It caused one’s hair to stand on end just looking at it.

“Oh d.a.m.n, it’s a good thing I didn’t choose to transform. If that lightning landed on me, I’d become a roasted chicken!”

No one knew who said this, but everyone around started laughing.

Bei Gong Tang and the others rolled their eyes at them. They really were here to watch the show. They could even joke at a time like this!

Sima You Yue took out a brand new set of lightning protective clothes and placed it on Little Roc’s body. At this moment, he was entering the point of transformation. He was lying on the ground paralysed.

“Master…”

Little Roc lifted his eyes and looked at Sima You Yue. At this point, he didn’t look like what they said he would look like upon completing his transformation. His inner self was going through heaven-defying changes, making it completely impossible for him to have the strength to face the lightning.

If it was him alone, he would have been struck into ashes with just two more lightning strikes.

Sima You Yue patted his head, comforting him, “Don’t worry, transform with ease. Leave the rest to me. When you’ve finished your transformation, you can repay me.”

After speaking, she stood up and looked at the thunderous clouds in the sky.

“Pa-”

It was as if those clouds could feel Sima You Yue’s provocation, and a bolt of lightning struck. With a twist of her body, she shot out a spirit attack.

By the time she landed on the ground, she had already been shot full of lightning, and the pain in her body was so intense that she knelt on the ground.

She quickly moved the spirit energy in her body, allowing the lightning on her body to enter her, transforming it into the lightning property. When it reached her dantian, it finally quieted down.

When she realised that the lighting attributed spirit power had entered her dantian, causing it to swell by a lot, she exclaimed, “It actually grew so much! If I absorb a little bit more, wouldn’t I be able to advance in rank? Also, when I absorb it into my dantian, the pain lessens quite a bit.”

When she thought of this, she stood up and stripped herself of the lightning protective clothing, facing the lightning bare.

“What is You Yue doing?!” Fatty Qu cried out, “If she does this, she’ll die!”

Sima Lie and the others were anxious as well, “Why would she strip off the lightning protective clothing? The lightning strikes at the end will get stronger!”

“Grandfather, don’t worry. Fifth Bro always does things properly, she won’t be reckless.” Sima You Ran comforted him. However, his tightly clenched fists reveal how worried he truly was.

Ninth Roc and the others never thought that Sima You Yue would be able to handle the lightning, and were surprised at her strength and, at the same time, much less worried. With her around, the chance that Little Roc would be able to pa.s.s the lightning trials was higher.

Seeing You Yue take off the Lightning protective clothing, she was also secretly shocked. However, after getting to know her these past two days, she believed that Sima You Yue was not a reckless person. She must have had some idea since she did this.

“Pa-”

Sima You Yue received another bolt of lightning attacks. This time, she immediately activated her spiritual powers to allow the lightning to enter her body directly. Although she felt pain from head to toe at the moment of entry causing her to fall on the ground, the result of it wasn’t bad this time. That bolt of lightning was absorbed into her dantian.

Lighting, absorb, another lightning, absorb it again. At the end of it, Sima You Yue had no idea how many times she had gotten struck, and how many more times her body could keep doing this.

What she didn’t know was that, including the two strikes that Little Roc had faced on his own, fourteen bolts of lightning had already been shot down. If it was not because she had absorbed the power of the lightning, she would have been fried long ago.

As things were, it wasn’t like her situation was anything to smile about. That was because every time she had the chance to direct the lightning to her dantian, she was struck by another bolt of lighting. The amount of lightning that acc.u.mulated in her body started to increase, and she was afraid that if things continued this way, her body would explode if she wasn’t electrocuted to death.

She lifted her head and saw the dark clouds. This time, half an hour had already gone by without any lightning falling. This proved that the lighting this time would be exceptionally intense.

She had already eaten a big half of the pills she refined, and her wounded body was about to fall apart. And the array had already been broken after being struck by lightning a few times ago. It was useless now.

She didn’t know whether or not she could handle the next bolt of lightning.

Suddenly, an extremely ancient aura came seeping out of Little Roc’s body. Comparing it to the aura he had before, it caused those rocs to tremble even more.

Right now, he had truly finished his transformation and become a Great Roc!

Little Roc moved his body, and the lightning protective clothing fell. Everyone finally saw his true appearance. His four wings had turned into two, and his feathers had all turned golden. It no longer looked like that initial dull gold. His feathers all sparkled radiantly with light, proving that each feather was a powerful weapon.

The legendary Great Roc!

“Master, leave the rest to me.” Little Roc’s voice was even more mature now.

He stood up and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. His eyes held not the slightest trace of terror.

Sima You Yue saw Little Roc’s current appearance and smiled, nodded and said, “Okay, your lightning trial. It’s best if you experience it. Only then will you get heaven’s recognition.”

Furthermore, she no longer had the strength to face another bout of lightning strikes.

Little Roc looked at her with gratefulness and heartache. He lowered his head and picked up that large lightning preventive clothing and placed it on her, saying, “master, just watch me pa.s.s the lightning trial!”

“Okay.”

Seeing Little Roc’s confident look, she smiled again and sat cross legged, she moved into a cultivation stance, then took the chance to control the lightning power that was flowing inside her body to stop it from rampaging around inside her chaotically.

However, once she entered the stance for cultivating, the spirit energy that had been turned into lightning attribute ones from the lightning strikes entered her as well, increasing the strain on her body. Right now, not only did she have to change the electricity in her body into spiritual energy, she had to move the lightning attributed spirit power that she was absorbing into her dantian.

“Wu-”

Her inner body had received injurites from the electricity and she had been suppressing it just now. Now that she was relaxed, fresh blood kept pouring out of her mouth and many cracks appeared on her body, as more blood spilled out of her. Her entire person looked as if she had stepped out of a bloodbath.

Feeling the wounds on her body, she could not help but pull back and took a pill to eat. However, the electricity in her body and the lightning attributes started to act up, aggravating her injuries.

“d.a.m.n it, if you’re not struck by lightning, you’ll be split into two. Now you can’t even sit up right?!”
