I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"Instructor Ma? What a coincidence."

Linghu Yan was outside the sword arena. Before he could finish speaking with Ma Qian, Ma Qian's figure flashed past, extremely swiftly.

Linghu Yan didn't even manage to touch the hem of her clothes:

Where is Instructor Ma rushing off to?

"It looks like they're heading into the fencing arena."

As soon as they finished speaking, a strong sense of being suspended in mid-air came over them, and they felt as if the air around them had been sucked away.

"What the hell? All the spiritual energy has disappeared. Could something have gone wrong?"

Linghu Yan looked worried, and the cultivators with him were equally bewildered.

"That's true, I feel like the earth element underground is also being lost."

The two looked surprised.

The second-year cultivators still in the sword arena were all trying to peer into the arena.

The sword arena is experiencing the greatest fluctuations. The second-year final exams are almost over, and those still in the sword arena are almost all first-year students majoring in sword cultivation this year.

While these cultivators were struggling in the second level, they were all taken aback by the familiar scene.

The spiritual energy in the sword arena was instantly drained, which frightened them so much that they quickly left the sword arena.

"Strange, I can't sense the wood elemental energy in the sword arena anymore."

"Me too, I feel like there's less water elemental energy in the air, even though water elemental energy is one of the most abundant elements in the air."

One of the cultivators swallowed hard: "Does this scene seem familiar to you?"

"What."

“I remember when I went up the mountain two months ago, a cultivator was advancing in his cultivation, and then in an instant he drained all the spiritual energy from the mountaintop. This time I feel it’s even worse than before.”

"You mean that time with Jiang He?"

"Yes, it's Jiang He. I feel like it's very similar to that time. And the sword arena is so big, and the spiritual energy was absorbed all at once. Could it be that someone else has advanced in the sword arena again?"

"Well, there are plenty of people advancing in the sword arena. Most of us have advanced two levels, but never before has our spiritual energy been drained like this."

When they left, they found that there were already more students outside the fencing arena.

Linghu Yan mingled with the freshmen, and he felt the spiritual energy around him dissipating, as if the light had dimmed considerably.

Suddenly looking up, he was surprised to see the sky covered with dark clouds:

"Something's not right. I clearly remember today being a sunny day, how could this be..."

As soon as Linghu Yan spoke, the other students also looked up at the gray sky.

Dark clouds loomed over the city, and the once bright sunshine turned into a gloomy sky. Zhong Liyu searched for Jiang He's figure in the crowd, and after searching for a long time, he finally focused his attention on the sword arena, and a guess formed in his mind:

"Is Jiang He preparing to advance to the Golden Core Realm?"

He remembered that Jiang He was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and should have reached the late-Foundation Establishment stage by now.

The clouds gathered quickly, and they didn't look like they gathered naturally; rather, they seemed like the precursor to a lightning tribulation.

As soon as Jiang He entered Wanjue Academy, she quickly became a celebrity there even before the semester started.

In particular, Jiang He, as the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, has a cultivation level and talent that do not match his abilities, which are often criticized.

It wasn't just people from other academies who would post and criticize Jiang He on the Wanjue Academy forum; some students within Wanjue Academy also didn't think highly of Jiang He's cultivation level.

When Zhong Liyu mentioned Jiang He's name, they all looked at Zhong Liyu, many of the sophomores looking at him with suspicion.

“Jiang He? I remember she was still in the Foundation Establishment stage. How could she possibly cause such a commotion when she advances from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core?”

Linghu Yan glanced at Zhongli Yu discreetly. He was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, the top scorers in the college entrance examination in other states had a cultivation level of at least Golden Core, and some even had a Nascent Soul stage. However, the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Shenzhou was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and had a useless spiritual root.

With so many stereotypes attached to them, and having never witnessed Jiang He's true strength, some of these second-year students would inevitably show a hint of disdain.

The second-year students were suspicious and scrutinized the information Zhong Liyu had given them. As for the first-year students, especially the more than one hundred cultivators who had been the first to reach the summit, they seemed to remember something.

The five types of spiritual energy in the sword arena disappeared simultaneously, a scene that indeed overlapped with the scene of Jiang He's advancement that day.

They didn't doubt Zhong Liyu's words after thinking about this, as they had witnessed Jiang He's strength.

You could say her cultivation level is low, but her talent is truly exceptional.

Few of them could even cast spells instantly, let alone with the massive amount of spiritual energy required for the continuous sword-sliding descent down the mountain.

These first-year students are more or less influenced by online opinions, but a large number of cultivators also have their own judgment.

If he really advances, it doesn't seem impossible.

After all, these dark clouds looked like the clouds before a lightning tribulation.

Li Ling patted Long Aotian on the shoulder:

"Jiang He's advancements always make such a big fuss."

Long Aotian shook his head and then nodded:

"It's hard to say, but it's certain that Jiang He is in the sword arena."

After he finished speaking, he re-entered the sword arena. There were a hundred sword intents in the sword arena. At this moment, he had reached the Golden Core stage, and there was no one else by his side to protect him. In Long Aotian's view, this was very dangerous.

The old man, observing the movement of the clouds, said directly:

"I am certain that this is a phenomenon that only occurs when someone advances from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage. Hurry up, those hundred sword intents are no pushovers."

The old man spoke in my mind.

Bai Zhizhou entered the sword arena before Long Aotian.

When Bai Zhizhou and Long Aotian arrived, Ma Qian had already positioned himself to protect Jiang He.

Jiang He sat cross-legged, having already absorbed most of the spiritual energy within the sword arena.

Ma Qian arrived early; as soon as he entered the sword arena, a hundred sword intents rushed towards him.

He is now at the Nascent Soul stage, so he can easily dodge this sword intent.

Before entering the sword arena, Ma Qian thought that Jiang He would not only have to face these hundred sword intents, but also deal with the lightning tribulation.

But when he actually stepped into the sword arena, Ma Qian was surprised to find that most of the hundred sword intents were going around Jiang He.

Only some sword techniques were still attacking Jiang He, but Jiang He remained unmoved, letting these sword intents attack him.

Ma Qian lowered his brows, looking at the unfamiliar sword intent before him, which reminded him of the matter of body training.

These sword intents, while harming Jiang He, were also strengthening her physique.

Bai Zhizhou wanted to set up an array, but after seeing this scene, he and Ma Qian stood aside.

Jiang He's advancement this time was slow. The clouds gathered quickly, but the tribulation lightning was slow to arrive.

Jiang He slowly opened her eyes only when Ma Qian felt the spiritual energy in the sword arena being drained, and then the newly generated spiritual energy being drained again.

The weather suddenly changed, and the lightning tribulation was reflected in Jiang He's dark eyes. This was the first time she had faced a lightning tribulation.

The tribulation of lightning not only tempers the body but also forges the soul, making it more resilient.

Jiang He hesitated when she was about to advance, as she was a soul from another world.

Every world has its own rules of operation, and she was not clear about the rules of operation of this world and the laws of nature.

She didn't know if the lightning tribulation would discover her soul.

Or rather, it was discovered that she was a bug in this rule.

Jiang He was afraid, afraid of the lightning tribulation, and also afraid that the Heavenly Dao might obliterate her.
