Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: 290 Times

“Boom——”

In an instant, Bai Xiuxiu felt her brain go blank, and the next moment, she was already enveloped in a warm embrace. Her whole body was numb, and the scenery in front of her had changed. They had moved to the side.

The battle is over!

“Was it nine seconds or ten seconds? Let me calculate, one minute is sixty seconds, five minutes is three hundred seconds, let’s go with ten seconds. So, you’re short by two hundred and ninety seconds, you owe me two hundred and ninety kisses,” Lan Xuanyu’s teasing voice came through.

At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu was still in a dazed state, her mind somewhat blank.

When she looked up, she realized that she and Lan Xuanyu had already moved to the other side from where they had collided before. She had not been paying attention to what Lan Xuanyu was saying and stared at him in shock, “You, when did you manage to harness Heaven and Earth Tribulation? How is that possible?”

Lan Xuanyu chuckled and said, “Silly girl, that wasn’t the Heaven and Earth Tribulation! What’s so impossible about it? What is Heaven and Earth Tribulation? It’s the lightning tribulation produced after the mutual fusion of the Seven Attributes: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, and Space. Its power is the force of heaven and earth. What I just used was actually a combination of the elemental calamity and the Light and Dark Divine Thunder. But right now, I still can’t control it completely. That’s why I couldn’t release its full power. A lot of energy was wasted, and I also can’t absorb the mighty force from nature for a burst of power. It was just an outburst of my own elemental control. It was my first attempt, so please enlighten me.”

Bai Xiuxiu knew that Lan Xuanyu had successfully cultivated the Light and Dark Divine Thunder. So she was mentally prepared for this. When the Light and Dark Divine Thunder erupted from Lan Xuanyu’s Golden Dragon Spear, she was ready to counter it with her eighth soul skill, Abyss Swallowing, along with the Heavenly Demon Dance to control the counterattack. She felt that fending it off wouldn’t be a big problem. Lan Xuanyu’s Light and Dark Divine Thunder couldn’t burst forth continuously, could it?

But what she hadn’t expected at all was for Lan Xuanyu to combine the Light and Dark Divine Thunder with the Annihilation Divine Thunder, thus releasing a power similar to Heaven and Earth Tribulation.

In that instant, she realized just how terrifying Heaven and Earth Tribulation could be. What Lan Xuanyu created could be considered a neutered version of Heaven and Earth Tribulation. But at the moment the neutered tribulation descended, she felt as if she was battling the entire world. She finally understood why Chen Wuzhu was at ease facing the elemental calamity but couldn’t withstand it when it turned into the Heaven and Earth Tribulation. It was truly difficult to resist!

But did he really succeed on his first attempt?

“It doesn’t count, just now it doesn’t count. You cheated. You suppressed me with your bloodline power. I didn’t get the chance to exhibit my true strength,” Bai Xiuxiu objected, almost immediately after coming to her senses, “And I don’t believe you can use Heaven and Earth Tribulation every time.”

Lan Xuanyu gave a wry smile, “I don’t know if I can use it every time, but at least I can unleash part of it. You can’t cheat, alright! Two hundred ninety. You have to let me kiss you that many times.” While talking, he unapologetically pecked Bai Xiuxiu’s pretty face with a “muah”.

Bai Xiuxiu’s cheeks blushed with embarrassment, “How am I cheating? You’re the one who cheated. You suppressed me by relying on the advantage of your bloodline and then unleashed your most powerful skill at me. That’s cheating! And besides, dare to win against your girlfriend in a sparring session, where’s your sense of self-preservation?”

“I…” Lan Xuanyu, looking at her slightly reddened pretty face, so tender and delicate, couldn’t help but “muah” again, kissing her once more.

At this time, Bai Xiuxiu was still in his arms, tightly held by him, and she couldn’t break free even if she tried.

“No matter what, two hundred and ninety kisses, I won’t let go until it’s enough. Cheating is not allowed. We can talk about the sense of self-preservation later. Muah, muah, muah…”

“You’re annoying! Let me go, or I’ll get angry. You… mmm, mmm, mmm…”

After a long while…

When Bai Xiuxiu finally managed to escape his grip, her face was flushed red, and her beautiful eyes were shimmering softly, lacking the strength to protest any further.

“You…, you!”

“Honey, I was wrong.” Lan Xuanyu approached with a flattering expression, all humble and obedient.

“Who’s your honey, go away!”

“Are we still fighting? How about this time I don’t use my bloodline aura to suppress you, and we still go for five minutes? Do you want to try again? Also, I actually didn’t fulfill all 290 kisses just now, I’ll give up on the rest. Don’t be mad, okay? Look how generous I am.”

“No more fighting! You’re so annoying! Just go train by yourself.” Bai Xiuxiu kicked him.

Where does she have the fighting spirit now, to fight what?

“Hehehe.” Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but hug her and plant another kiss upon seeing her charming look.

Bai Xiuxiu was about to pretend to hit him but then noticed a sudden look of wistfulness in Lan Xuanyu’s eyes, which made her pause.

Lan Xuanyu sighed softly and said, “I’ve been cultivating these past few days and it has been rather lonely. Probably the biggest enemy of cultivation is oneself. Luckily, you’ve been by my side all this time. If it weren’t for you, I truly don’t know if I could have persisted. Thank you, Xiuxiu. Having you is wonderful.”

Hearing his sudden romantic words, Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, her gaze softening. The next moment, the hand she had raised was caught by Lan Xuanyu, who then drew her gently into his embrace.

Bai Xiuxiu nestled in his warm embrace and whispered, “Yes! You have been cultivating every day; I’ve felt a bit lonely too.”

“Yeah, not anymore, we’ll go to Sky Horse Star and take a break for a while. When we return, I should be ready to attempt the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Body Refining.” Lan Xuanyu said, a triumphant smile on his face, though Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t see it. When has my survival instinct ever decreased?

After a moment of tenderness, they still had to continue cultivating. Lan Xuanyu’s main focus was on the application of the Light and Dark Divine Thunder and the combination of it with the Annihilation Divine Thunder.

The reason he defeated Bai Xiuxiu so quickly was partly because she was unprepared, but more importantly because of his high burst power.

Moreover, it wasn’t a battle fought with a do-or-die mindset. Bai Xiuxiu’s determination to win was limited. When Lan Xuanyu unleashed his explosive attack, she might not have been completely unable to fend it off, but getting hurt was a certainty. Lan Xuanyu couldn’t let her get hurt, so he rushed forward and pulled her away, withstanding the aftermath of the lightning tribulation with his powerful defensive power.

“What’s your plan for the next part of your training?” Bai Xiuxiu asked Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu replied: “Mainly practicing the usage of the Light and Dark Divine Thunder, and during the process, seeing how the two types of God Thunder can better combine, to minimize energy wastage. If they can merge and produce the power of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, that would obviously be the best outcome.”

Bai Xiuxiu nodded slightly and said, “Actually, I think you can start trying some external to internal Quenching.”

“Huh?” Lan Xuanyu looked at her in surprise.

Bai Xiuxiu said, “When you called down the Heaven and Earth Tribulation just now, I felt as if the entire world became my enemy, rejecting me. That must be the terrifying pressure brought by Heaven and Earth Tribulation. Although you said what you released was not true Heaven and Earth Tribulation, the effects are similar; the difference is only in the intensity of the energy. So, can you bombard yourself with the Heaven and Earth Tribulation and see how much your body can endure? Quench your body from the outside in. After all, our Dragon Power Refining has always been from the inside out. If we refine our bodies from the outside in, wouldn’t that also result in decent effects? Something which Dragon Power Refining can’t achieve.”

After listening to her words, Lan Xuanyu sank into deep thought, and after a long while, he said, “Your idea reminds me of a method of cultivation. There used to be a very powerful sect on our Mother Planet called the Body Sect. Their method of cultivation was similar to this. I heard my dad mention the Body Sect’s cultivation; he also studied it. However, he said that my body is already very strong, so there is no great need for me to practice that way. He also mentioned that the method of Tempering with Dragon Power and the Body Sect’s cultivation method had their own unique way of integration. What you suggested about external to internal Body Refining, I could give it a try.”
