<h4>Chapter 2308 About to Fail?</h4>


    The onlookers might be marveling over Yuwen Hao Chen’s technique, but Duan Ling Tian did not have the time to care. He took the time to recover although he was not severely injured. ‘I have about an hour... It should be enough to recover,’ he thought calmly as he healed himself.


    Meanwhile, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.


    Someone clicked their tongue as they said, “That lightning bolt was so easy for Pce Master Yuwen to deal with that it didn’t even touch the hem of his robe... On the contrary, Duan LingTian’s bleeding and his robe is torn. He looks incredibly miserable!”


    “What a huge difference!”


    “However huge the difference might be, it has nothing to do with their personal strength though. Pce Master Yuwen managed to deal with the lightning bolt so easily because of the extraordinary power of the inherited technique from the Wandering Saint Pce to ovee the Celestial Ascension Tribtion!”


    “The technique is indeed extraordinary. That was the 71st lightning bolt, and yet, it seemed so weak when faced with the inherited technique from the Wandering Saint Pce. It couldn’t even touch the hem of Pce Master Yuwen’s robe.”


    “That’s why there are no Pce Masters from the Wandering Saint Pce who has ever failed the Celestial Ascension Tribtion... With such an extraordinary technique to ovee the Celestial Ascension Tribtion, it’s just a matter of course to pass the tribtion!”


    “Exactly.”


    Many people sighed in amazement at the inherited technique Yuwen Hao Chen had used to defeat the lightning bolt.


    After a while, someone was looking at Duan Ling Tian andmented, “Duan Ling Tian seems to be injured. It seems like he’s in a precarious situation.”


    “Indeed. Duan Ling Tian’s body is different from ordinary people and his body doesn’t even resemble a human when he transforms into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior, but I think he’s only capable of dealing with one or two more lightning bolts before he has to transform.”


    After witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s incredible transformation and his strength, many people respected him. However, it did not mean they thought he would be able to sessfully pass the Celestial Ascension Tribtion! After all, the previous lightning bolt was only the 71st one. There were still ten lightning bolts left! These lightning bolts would only get sessively stronger.


    They all thought Duan Ling Tian would only be able to deal with one or two more lightning strikes before he had to transform into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior. After that, he might be able to deal with a few more. However, what about the remaining lightning bolts? What other means did he have to deal with those lightning bolts?


    “Although Duan Ling Tian’s just a human, it’s indisputable that he’s a prodigy. It would be a pity if he fails the Celestial Ascension Tribtion today.”


    “How great would it be if he’s not human but a Human-Devil. Based on his talent and potential, he would definitely be the pir of our Human-Devil n!”


    The crowd felt sorry for Duan Ling Tian since they thought he would fail the Celestial Ascension Tribtion.


    “Both Pce Master Yuwen and Pce Master Shi from Wandering Saint Pce and Great Spirit Pce are around today. Even if Duan Ling Tian manages to escape via the Soul Detaching Technique when he fails the Celestial Ascension Tribtion, he would still be killed by the Pce Masters!”


    “In short... Duan Ling Tian would definitely die!”


    You’re right. Unless he manages to pass the Celestial Ascension Tribtion and be an Eminent Celestial!” “Based on the current situation, I don’t think he’ll be able to pass the Celestial Ascension Tribtion.”


    Time quietly passed by as the crowd continued to discuss among themselves. In just a blink of an eye, almost an hour had passed.


    “It’sing again!”


    When the 72nd lightning bolt was about to strike, the onlookers shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian, eager to see how he was going to deal with it. On the contrary, not many of them paid attention to Yuwen Hao Chen. After all, with the inherited technique from Wandering Saint Pce, it should be extremely easy for him to deal with the remaining lightning bolts. Yuwen Hao Chen was sure to be an Eminent Celestial. There was no point in watching him.


    Boom!


    As expected, the 72nd lightning bolt struck very quickly. They came in a pair, one struck toward Duan Ling Tian while the other struck toward Yuwen Hao Chen.


    What happened next was within the expectation of the crowd.


    Duan Ling Tian managed to deplete arge amount of energy from the 72nd lightning bolt without transforming into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior. Then, he endured the remaining force of the lightning bolt with his extraordinarily strong physical body. For this reason, he was further injured. However, the injuries were not severe.


    On the other hand, Yuwen Hao Chen dealt with the 72nd lightning bolt effortlessly just like he previously did.


    Boom!


    Thunder rang in the air as lightning illuminated the sky. The 73rd lightning bolt was about to strike.


    Duan Ling Tian used the same tactic to deal with the 73rd lightning bolt, but it was rather difficult this time around. It resulted in more severe injuries. He thought to himself, ‘It seems like I’ll have to transform into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior to deal with the next lightning bolt. Otherwise, I’ll be severely injured even though I might be able to deal with it! It wouldn’t be good if I have to deal with the remaining lightning bolts in an injured state. It would be extremely dangerous and might cause a chain reaction that leads to me failing.’


    Duan Ling Tian understood clearly the situation he was in. He would risk injuring himself by not transforming into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior.


    “I can’t believe Duan Ling Tian didn’t transform into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior to deal with the 73rd lightning bolt. He’s indeed very bold!”


    “Even so, I think he’s reached his limit. He would transform into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior to deal with the next lightning bolt.”


    “I agree!”


    Just as the crowd had predicted, about half an hour before the arrival of the 74th lightning bolt, Duan Ling Tian finally transformed into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior.


    “He has finally transformed into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior... I wonder how many lightning bolts he’ll be able to deal with now?”


    “Regardless of how many lightning bolts he’ll be able to deal with, he definitely won’t be able to deal with thest few lightning bolts. There are eight more lightning bolts left after all. I don’t think he’ll be able to deal with all of them!”


    “That’s what I think as well.”


    Many people were eager to see Duan Ling Tian’s performance now that he had transformed into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior.


    Boom!


    Finally, the 74th lightning bolt struck!


    Now that Duan Ling Tian had transformed into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior, he dealt with the lightning bolt with ease. He did not sustain any injuries at all.


    When it came to the 75th lightning bolt, although it was slightly more difficult, Duan Ling Tian still dealt with it rather easily.


    Duan Ling Tian found the 76th lightning bolt difficult to deal with despite managing to escape. However, the 77th lightning bolt that was stronger managed to injure him. Moreover, the 78th and 79th further injured him. At this point, he was severely injured. The 79th lightning bolt had injured him before he could even recover from the injuries he sustained from the 78th lightning bolt.


    Duan Ling Tian spat out a mouthful of blood due to external injuries he sustained from the 79th lightning bolt. His blood looked dazzlingly red as it sttered across the sky. His expression was grim and his eyes showed a hint of unwillingness and determination as he thought to himself, ‘Only two lightning bolts are left. However, based on my condition, let alone a mere hour, it would be difficult for me topletely heal myself in 10 hours!’


    How could Duan Ling Tian not feel unwilling? He only had to endure two more lightning strikes. However, based on the strength of the lightning bolts that had only progressively gotten stronger, he was not certain he would be able to deal with the 80th and 81st lightning bolts.


    I didn’t have a chance to prepare in advance and use my energy wisely. Otherwise, I don’t think I would be in such a miserable state now. If I had time to prepare, I should be able to pass the Celestial Ascension Tribtion easily if I transform into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior!’


    After dealing with 79 lightning strikes, Duan Ling Tian became aware that he did not prepare sufficiently in advance. After all, he did not expect that he would be attracting the Celestial Ascension Tribtion at all!


    “I didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian would be ablest until now. He even managed to deal with the 79th lightning bolt!’


    Many onlookers looked at Duan Ling Tian in admiration. After all, it was not only humans who revered strong people, it was the same in the Human-Devil n as well!


    Duan Ling Tian was a mere human who had managed toe so far when facing the Celestial Ascension Tribtion even though he was not given a chance to prepare for it. This was definitely something that would earn people’s respect!


    “Based on his current condition, it’s likely he won’t be able to deal with the 80th lightning bolt. However, he has broken a record in the Devil ns even if he’s killed by the 80th lightning bolt!” An elder from Crimson ze Pce said.


    “In our Devil ns’ history, those who used others to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribtion have all failed. The one who managed to endure the longest prior to this only managed to endure until the 75th lightning bolt!”


    “If he isn’t a human but one of us, his name will surely go down in history in the Devil ns!”


    “What a pity!”


    After a while, the crowd shifted their attention to Yuwen Hao Chen...
