When the first bolt of lightning fell down on him, all Lin Fan could feel was…
Numbness and pain.
It was like the first time that he was stuck by heavenly thunder back in the first trial.
This feeling was a very familiar feeling, but at the same time, it was a feeling that made him worry.
In this kind of heavenly thunder trial, there would be nine bolts of lightning that would fall down that would be increasing in power.
So if this was the power of the first bolt of lightning…then how strong would the ninth bolt of lightning be?
There had only been a bit of worry in his heart at first, but as he felt the numbing and painful sensation filling him, that worry started spreading through his heart.
Lin Fan had thought that this would be his chance to mature that Heavenly Thunder Seed in his dantian, but now it seemed like it was very likely that he would die here…
It didn’t take long before his body was able to absorb that first bolt of lightning and the moment that he finished, the second bolt of lightning already fell down on him.
Lin Fan braced himself for this second bolt of lightning, but the moment that it hit him, his expression couldn’t help changing.
It slowly but surely changed into a look of disappointment.
That was because the feeling that he felt from this second bolt of lightning was completely different from the first bolt of lightning.
There was no longer the same painful feeling even if there was a numbing feeling.
It was clear that either this bolt of lightning wasn’t as strong as the first one…or his body had already adapted to it.
When Lin Fan thought it through, he felt that it was the second one that was more likely.
After all, it was unlikely that the second bolt of this heavenly thunder execution would suddenly become weaker.
So his guess was that the second bolt was just as strong as the first one and his body had adapted to it.
It took him far less time to absorb the second bolt of lightning and soon the third bolt of lightning fell down on him which allowed him to confirm his theory.
The moment that the third bolt of lightning hit him, that disappointed look on his face became much stronger.
The feeling that this third bolt of lightning gave him, it was even weaker than the second bolt. He didn’t even feel the strong numb feeling anymore and there was only a slight numb feeling.
By the fourth bolt, his body had completely adjusted to it that he didn’t feel anything.
If it wasn’t for the Heavenly Thunder Seed inside of his dantian being filled with more and more lightning energy, Lin Fan would have even doubted that he was being hit with heavenly thunder.
So by the time that the fifth bolt of lightning came, Lin Fan had already stood up and let the lightning bolt hit him as he walked around the room.
With the way that he was looking around, it was as if he was looking for something to occupy him while he was being hit by the lightning bolts. It didn’t look like a person that had lightning bolts raining down on them at all.
But he was still disappointed since there was nothing else left in this room.
That was until his eyes fell back onto the wheel in the center.
That was right, this wheel was still here even after he had spun it…
There were a lot of symbols on it that looked like lightning bolts…
So if he were to get more lightning bolt spins, would that mean…?
Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling tempted by this thought, but he quickly shook it out of his head.
He was already undergoing a heavenly thunder execution and if he were to add more heavenly thunder to that mix, he might not be able to endure it even if he was able to easily endure this current heavenly thunder.
There was no need to put himself in more danger right now.
He could always spin the wheel later, there was no need for him to mix the two of these together.
It might become one of those mixtures that had chemicals that shouldn’t be mixed.
So Lin Fan sat back down and impatiently waited for the heavenly thunder to finish raining down on him.
The sixth bolt, no feeling at all.
The seventh bolt, no feeling at all.
The eighth bolt, no feeling at all.
Only the ninth bolt seemed different from the rest…
When the lightning energy of the eighth bolt was absorbed by Lin Fan, the ninth bolt of lightning didn’t fall down like he had expected.
Instead, there was a booming sound that came from above him.
Lin Fan couldn’t help looking up to see that the clouds above him were churning with lightning, as if it was gathering more and more lightning inside of it.
Even a fool would be able to tell that this bolt of lightning would be completely different from the ones that came before.
Lin Fan didn’t dare take this final bolt of lightning carelessly, so he focused himself and gathered all his energy to deal with it. He entered the same focused state that he had been when he first started this heavenly thunder execution.
After it continued churning for around five minutes, that bolt of lightning finally fell down.
Well, to call it a bolt of lightning was wrong since it wasn’t a bolt of lightning.
It was a wall of lightning that fell down on Lin Fan, filling the entire room.
The moment that it touched him, Lin Fan felt all of his hairs stand on end, his blood started to pump, and his body filled with pain.
This was a feeling that he had never felt before…but he didn’t dislike this feeling.
This feeling filled his body with adrenaline, but he knew that was just to counteract the pain.
He also knew that this was the closest that he had ever felt towards dying since he felt like his heart was about to explode.
But in the end, he was able to endure it as his dantian suddenly opened more and he started absorbing more of the lightning energy that filled him.
The suction that came from his dantian became stronger and stronger just like a person that had been starving for days as it drained away all of the lightning energy.
He was shocked to see this happen, but he could also feel that this suction was coming from the Heavenly Thunder Seed.
It seemed like it was very close to blooming.
However, before it could bloom…the lightning energy ran out.
Lin Fan could tell that it was just an inch away from maturing, but there was no lightning energy left for it.
It was like reaching the end of the marathon only to stumble and not be able to get up.
It was like a beautiful woman that was right in front of you that you weren’t able to touch at all…
It was that kind of torture that Lin Fan felt right now.
After the lightning energy was completely absorbed by his dantian, Lin Fan took a deep breath before suddenly spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
That wall of lightning that fell on him had been much stronger than the other bolts of lightning, so naturally he had suffered internal injuries because of it. This mouthful of blood was from those internal injuries.
After wiping the blood of lip, Lin Fan couldn’t help standing up in a rush.
He didn’t even care that he was still suffering from internal injuries, he just turned his attention to the wheel.
He didn’t know if it would work, but he immediately walked over and grabbed the wheel before trying to spin it. However, as he tried pulling on the wheel to make it spin, Lin Fan found…that it wouldn’t move at all.
It was as if it was locked in place by something and no matter how much effort he tried.
Even when he used all of his spiritual energy to empower his arms, it still wouldn’t budge a single inch.
It was clear that there was something preventing him from spinning this wheel again and it was much stronger than him.
But this feeling…really was very irritating.
It was like being so close to finishing, but not being able to…𝑜𝑽𝐋xt.𝒸𝗈𝗆
So after trying to pull on the wheel a few times, Lin Fan finally couldn’t help giving a roar as he punched the wheel. However, when he punched the wheel, all he did was hurt his own hand.
He didn’t know what material this wheel was made of, but it was so god damn hard!
Lin Fan looked at the wheel for a long time before suddenly sitting down cross legged as he started stabilizing his body.
If he pushed himself any further, he could tell that he would injure himself more.
So if he couldn’t break through with the Heavenly Thunder Seed, there was no need to keep trying.
His top priority should be to heal himself before anything else happens.
While he was still irritated about being close to making the Heavenly Thunder Seed bloom, he was able to slowly recover his reasoning.
It was also during this time that the door suddenly opened.
This was a room where there were no signs of an exit at all, but after the heavenly thunder execution was over, there was a loud sound that came from the opposite side of the entrance. A certain part of the wall started moving before revealing a hidden passage.
Lin Fan opened his eyes for a second to look at the hidden passage, but then he quickly closed it as he focused on healing his injuries.
There was no telling what would come next and before healing himself, he wouldn’t go any further.
