Chapter 198 - 197: He’s Talent Skills?

Chi Yizhong frowned, wanting to say something, but the others deliberately ignored him.

Noticing this, Chi Yizhong fell silent and said no more.

’He didn’t need their permission to protect her anyway. Why waste his breath?’

Chu Liangyu now had only ten Beast Husbands left. With Hu Qiumu and Xiang Qiancheng in Ten Thousand Beasts City, only eight of them were available.

Chi Yizhong had been automatically excluded by the group. As for Feng Qiwu, he had just single-handedly blocked a tribulation bolt. It was a miracle he was still alive, so they couldn’t possibly count on him.

Therefore, the remaining tribulation bolts would have to be handled by the six of them.

"The tribulation bolt Feng Qiwu just blocked was the eighty-second one. If one person joins me, we should be able to withstand another four."

The thunderclouds were still gathering, so they had to make a decision quickly.

"No, you can’t go first. I hate to admit it, but you’re stronger than the rest of us. You have to be in the last group."

Xiong Xianhui cut him off and continued, "Yu He and I will take the next ones. I’m not sure how many we can handle. The rest of you, just be ready to take over."

At critical moments, Xiong Xianhui’s mind was actually quite sharp.

He just lacked a bit of emotional intelligence. Yu He hadn’t even agreed yet, and Xiong Xianhui had already assigned him to the task.

The implication was that the two of them were the weakest among the group.

Fortunately, however, everyone was more concerned with the tribulation lightning.

Yu He merely shot him a displeased glance before nodding. "I agree."

"Very well."

There was no need for false modesty about their strength, especially not in a situation like this.

Having decided who would face the next tribulation bolts, they fell silent and waited.

After all, the number of bolts each team could withstand was uncertain. They could only observe and adjust their plans accordingly.

Just a moment after their discussion ended, a low, muffled rumble of thunder reached their ears.

Seeing this, Xiong Xianhui and Yu He didn’t dare to delay, rushing straight toward Chu Liangyu.

They were so fast that the onlookers only caught a glimpse of their afterimages. In the next instant, they were in front of Chu Liangyu.

Their beast forms materialized at the same time. Xiong Xianhui, whose form was as massive as a mountain, cast both Chu Liangyu and Feng Qiwu into shadow just by standing there.

Although Yu He’s beast form wasn’t as large, it was still over three meters long. It hovered at Xiong Xianhui’s side, and together they looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky.

RUMBLE...

A tribulation bolt smashed down toward them with extreme speed. In an instant, they were engulfed by a blinding pillar of lightning.

After the white light faded, Xiong Xianhui and Yu He were no longer standing but kneeling. Yet, they still shielded Chu Liangyu tightly beneath them.

Under such powerful lightning, Chu Liangyu had actually not been affected in the slightest.

As for Feng Qiwu, they were only protecting him as an afterthought, and only for Chu Liangyu’s sake.

As Chu Liangyu, the one they were protecting, watched the two men shield her, an exceptionally complex mix of emotions churned within her.

She had taken note of her Beast Husbands’ actions. It couldn’t help but make her recall their reactions when she broke away from the Childbirth System, and compare them to what they were doing now.

’Things are different now, after all.’

Although Chu Liangyu’s eyes were watching the situation unfold, she hadn’t stopped circulating the energy in her body to heal herself for even a moment.

For Chu Liangyu, every single second was crucial right now.

Perhaps because they were buying her time, Chu Liangyu’s internal organs gradually began to recover. The rate of her healing was no longer falling behind the speed of the lightning’s destruction.

However, she had been struck by lightning too many times. Even though Chu Liangyu didn’t dare stop healing for a second, repairing her damaged internal organs was still an extremely difficult task.

Two more tribulation bolts struck in quick succession, and Xiong Xianhui and Yu He finally collapsed, unable to hold on any longer.

"That was the eighty-fifth tribulation bolt. They withstood three in total. The next one will take some time to gather. Who’s up?"

Cang Yu hadn’t expected them to withstand three bolts. In his mind, two would have been impressive enough.

It was unexpected, but it was a good thing. Every extra bolt they withstood increased their odds of success.

"I’ll go!"

"Me too!"

He Yushu and Jinling stepped forward at the same time. Yu Tu, a step too slow, could only retract his foot.

"Alright, it’s up to you two next. Yu Tu and I will go last."

One was an Azure Dragon, the other a White Tiger. Their strength went without saying, so it was fitting for the two of them to be saved for last.

"Yu Tu, what do you think?"

Cang Yu turned his head, belatedly remembering to ask for Yu Tu’s opinion.

"I have no problem with that."

Yu Tu had also considered that the later tribulation bolts would only get stronger. Otherwise, he would have joined the first wave to block them.

To be honest, because of things that happened in the past, Yu Tu wasn’t particularly fond of Cang Yu.

But with such a critical task at hand, he could only set his personal feelings aside.

This time, the lightning took significantly longer to gather than before, which meant its power would be even greater.

He Yushu and Jinling didn’t dare to be complacent. The moment the decision was made, they rushed toward Chu Liangyu.

When they arrived, the tribulation bolt above their heads still looked like it needed more time to gather.

By then, the two had already transformed into their beast forms.

After advancing, nearly all the Beast Husbands had awakened their own Talent Skills.

The Clear Spirit Qi surrounding He Yushu was one such skill, while Jinling’s was an intuition far more accurate than that of an ordinary person.

He Yushu hadn’t advanced that long ago, so he didn’t have a full understanding of his own Talent Skill.

Chu Liangyu, however, had a rough idea. The moment He Yushu got close, she felt the recovery speed of her wounds accelerate.

In addition to that, Chu Liangyu’s heart grew calm.

’Perhaps accelerating wound recovery and calming others’ minds are the Talent Skills He Yushu awakened.’

’It has no offensive power, but its supportive capabilities are immense.’

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Liangyu circulated the energy in her body even faster.

In the time it took He Yushu and Jinling to block the tribulation bolts, Chu Liangyu had already managed to mostly repair her internal organs.

Next was to mend her shattered bones. Once they were fully repaired, she would be able to face the tribulation lightning in a new state.

’As long as I can fully recover,’ she believed, ’I can definitely withstand the remaining bolts!’

Thunder constantly echoed in her ears. After enduring three consecutive tribulation bolts, He Yushu and Jinling had reached their limit.

If their strength hadn’t been considerably greater than Xiong Xianhui’s and Yu He’s, they wouldn’t have handled three tribulation bolts; after all, Xiong Xianhui and Yu He might not have even been able to withstand two.
