Chapter 283: Hu Ge’s Report 1
"Chief, punish this servant for my sin." After hearing the familiar voice and very similar facial expression, Hu Ge came to realize that the man reclining on the chair inside the concocting room of Chief Jugge Huan was Chief Jugge Huan himself.
"It's alright, Hu Ge. I understand." "It's really a good day. I finally break through to the Semi-Boundless realm. Why don't you have a cup of tea too?" Chief Jugge Huan said and snapped his finger while reclining on the chair, closing his eyes shut.
The next moment, a teacup along with tea in it appeared before Hu Ge in the air just before him. He sat on the ground and cheered sincerely, "Congratulations Chief! its fantastic news. Finally, our Hall Of Alchemy also finally has a Semi-Boundless realm expert. So our institution has finally become a Tier-10." He then picked up the cup and drank it all at once.
"Your appearance before this old man means you have something to report, right?" Chief Jugge Huan asked lazily.
Hu Ge placed the teacup on the floor and responded politely, "Yes, Chief. I'm here to report something important regarding that boy, Joey."
Hearing it, Jugge Huan clutched the arms of the chair and sat up straight, finally opening his eyes. "Any difficulties? Alright, you can tell me now," he said, looking straight at the eyes of Hu Ge, who was currently wearing a funny-looking mask.
"It's the opposite, Chief. We have really underestimated the power of Joey whole this time." Hu Ge replied with a severing tone.
Chief Jugge Huan saw fear in the eyes of Hu Ge for the first time and wondered, "Interesting! So that boy even made Hu Ge fearful this much. What is it?"
"Alright, you can continue." He said.
Hu Ge heaved out a long breath and continued speaking calmly, "Under your order, this lowly servant followed him secretly using my shadow skill deep inside the Hundred Valleys Of Poison and witnessed everything that he did there with my own eyes. Chief, that boy is extremely strong. He…"
"Oh! Then, did he successfully kill that bastard, Yuwen Tai?" Chief Jugge Huan breezed on before he completed his words.
"Yes, he killed the sect master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. But that is not much important. What made me more stunned was him provoking the heavenly tribulation, Dao, and still getting out alive." Hu Ge began to summarize the course of events of how Joey entered the sect boldly by breaking the main gate, using only his raw strength. And then to the killing of 12 elders of the sect without lifting a single finger of his. After that, he summarized the events of going to the poison lake on the outskirts of the Sect and until the part of him provoking the heavenly tribulations.
"Hu Ge, how many colors did you see in his heavenly lightning tribulations?" Jugge Huan asked, curiously.
"60…. Er… No, first, he went through 60 lightning tribulations all together, raining down on him all at once." Hu Ge said.
"Sixty!" Chief Jugge Haun exclaimed in surprise and stood abruptly up from his chair. "Sixty, are you sure?!" he asked with a severing tone this time.
"Yes, Chief. I don't really like to believe it too. But I saw it with my own eyes." Hu Ge replied, with a firm tone.
Jugge Huan breathed out a long sigh and continued speaking, "Hu Ge, do you even know about the maximum number of heavenly lightning tribulations those old books in our archive maximum recorded about?" Hu Ge remained silent as he didn't know of them.
"Thirty-nine!" "It's 39 Heavenly Lightning Tribulations. And the man that went through was the founder of Great Gong Clan, Bai Tien. He is the strongest man ever to get alive after getting through that in the history of the Ancestral Armament World. Hmm, but he barely gets alive. Do you understand how strong the 60 heavenly lightning tribulations would be?" Chief Jugge Huan started explaining in his mile-a-minute tone. "So that means the boy must have been seriously hurt after that, right?" He asked, showing a concern expression all over his face. After Joey had agreed to join his Hall Of Alchemy, he had long since considered him as one of his own after that.
"No, you are wrong, chief." Hu Ge replied, "I don't exactly know what tier it really is, but the boy used a profound array formation and came out alive without getting a scratch on his body."
"What the….!! Ahem, ahem." He was about to curse but stopped midway and harrumphed twice, clearing his throat. "Hah, I was worried about nothing then. It's good." He said with a wry smile.
"Exactly. I also have the same feeling as that. But, but…" Hu Ge struggled to speak out as his tone get tremble again.
"But, what?! Come on, Hu Ge. You didn't report like this to me ever before. Your suspense is killing me." Chief Jugge spoke out, feeling frustrated.
Hu Ge calmed himself down and continued narrating, "After he came out alive without getting a scratch from all the 60 Heavenly Lightning Tribulations, the sky began to clear up again and day returned around that place from being pitch black dark a moment ago. He got rejoiced and stood up. But the next moment an iridescence color beam of thick lightning bolt streaked down from the sky and hit upon him. It's the 61st Heavenly Lightning Tribulation."
"Hah, 61st!!" Chief Jugge Huan exclaimed again, but this time he quickly calmed himself down and continued listening carefully. He began to frown.
"It actually seems like the peerless immortal expert that was overseeing the heavenly lightning tribulation had some sort of grudge against that boy. Even I can understand it. It is literally a sneak attack." Hu Ge continued his story, "That iridescent thick lightning bolt hit over, breaking his unpenetrable array formation first like breaking an egg using a giant hammer. It then hit him, burning all of him. The boy was in a very terrible state. But he still managed to hang onto his life…..
