Chapter 916: Things escalated

The second lightning was more powerful than the first. When the stream of air and the mighty pressure of the second lightning started sweeping in, the two students trapped inside the array passed out with bodily injuries.
Meanwhile, the crowd outside held their breath and stared at the rolling clouds in the sky, speculating whether the third lightning would fall. If the third lightning fell, then…
At this thought, their spirits lifted up. Could it be that one of them would emerge as a Golden Core cultivator? The most loathsome thing was that they had no idea up to now on who the person inside the array was and which academy he came from.
But this time, the third lightning still didn’t strike down after a little time passed. The people outside were waiting and watching with bated breath. As the sky darkened and the night came, no one left. They even forgot to fight over others’ spirit stones. They all stared at the sky and wondered whether that scourge was successful in condensing the core?
They were waiting from night till dawn. Not only the people outside felt uneasy, but Feng Jiu also felt uncomfortable inside the spirit gathering array. She felt all the sinews and vessels ruptured from the frenzied pouring of spirit energy breath into her body. She could even hear her veins and bones snapping. It was the feeling that she’s at the brink of death. If she didn’t jump over this hurdle, it would mean death!
But at this time, no potions and pills could help her. Only by getting through this obstacle on her own would she find relief. Only through this, she could enter another realm.
She clenched her teeth. The strength all over her body rushed up, the spirit energy breath shot up instantly to over some dozen meters high. At that moment, the spirit energy breath turned into flames. The raging blaze encircled her and burned away her clothes to ashes.
She was sitting inside the spirit gathering array cross-legged and eyes tightly shut. A blue lotus appeared in her glabella. A little blue light interspersed with a little golden light leapt up. The green lotus seemed to be blooming.
A head of ink-jet hair was flying in the midst of the blazing flame and stream of air. The raging flame seemed to be tempering her body and sending out a whirring sound of air. At this moment, there was a roar in the sky and a flash of lightning many times more powerful than the previous two bolts of lightning fell from the sky.
Boom!
In an instant, the whole mystic realm seemed to be shaken by an earthquake. The gaggle of students standing outside felt the ground suddenly shaking. Even if they tried to stand still, suddenly the sky turned upside down so that they fell to the ground, unable to stand up.
“Hey! Look up!”
Someone gasped. He felt the air start to warp. Looking around, trees and weeds were withering at the speed of the naked eye. Seen from the distance, they were wilting at a visible speed. The whole mystic realm’s luxuriant and dense greeneries seemed to be drained of life and became a dry forest…
The great movement here not only shocked the students but also alarmed the two-star academy headmaster and the elders outside. Originally, they were getting ready to bring the students out from the mystic realm. Unexpectedly, the whole academy was shaken…
