After the massive cluster of tribulation struck the tree, the tree was destroyed, its leaves were falling off, and it had started to dry out.
After seeing the trees condition, Jian's expression became grim. He moved closer to check whether he could salvage anything but a
After checking for a while, he couldn't do anything.
He sat near the tree, sighing. The clouds have also started to disperse. Jian looked up in the sky and sighed. They were able to survive the tribulation but couldn't protect the tree.
Ad he was thinking about the following process after failing the trial. The system interrupted and told him to check the tree using Star Gaze. He didn't have any expectations, but still, he listened to the design and activated Star Gaze.
As he actively Star Gaze, he was shocked. He stood up and started to check every part of the tree very carefully. After studying for a while, he sighed and smiled.
Then he moved towards Song Yu and told her that the tree could survive and the fruit was still in the process of maturing. Song Yu was shocked, and even though she was injured, she stood up and checked the tree.
Even though she couldn't see what Jian was seeing but she still was able to feel the changes in the tree. She also became happy with the expectations of clearing the task.
Jian sat facing the tree and continued to look at the tree. After activating Star Gaze to check the tree, and was shocked because he was able to see the Qi was rushing in one direction.
And as the Qi left the branch of the tree. That branch would wither. To confirm his suspicion, he checked every part of the tree and came to the same conclusion.
Only after the Qi had rushed towards the top of the tree, the branch of the tree was withering. All Qi was running towards the top of the tree. Jian had jumped on top of the tree to find that the fruit was why the tree was withering.
He immediately understood that the fruit was using the tree to completely mature. Jian didn't have any problem with it became he only needed fruit to clear the trial, and after learning that the fruit was still OK, he was happy.
But for unexpected events, he was keeping his eye on the tree. Even though he was injured, he kept his eyes on the tree while he had told Song Yu to focus on recovering.
The clouds were slowly dispersing, and if carefully observed, you would feel that the Thunder element in the area was decreasing.
It took more than thirty minutes for the clouds to disperse wholly, and the sky was cleared. There was no trace of any element remaining in the surrounding.
Only near the tree, you could feel the fluctuations of the elements because of the Qi flowing in the tree. After the clouds had dispersed, Jian had looked up at the clear sky.
The sky was a lot clearer, and sunlight was shining everywhere. He relaxed a bit after seeing the daylight. Then he looked in Song Yu's direction and saw that her injuries were still healing.
He knew that it would take some time to heal injuries because the tribulation caused them. Even though she was able to absorb the Thunder element from her injuries still, she was recovering at the same speed.
He had given her multiple herbs and a three-star healing pill. The process was slow, but it was working. As for Jian, his injuries have increased because he didn't have time to heal them completely.
So when the last tribulation strike struck, he only focused on protecting the tree while taking on the Thunder with his body. The injuries caused during the fifth strike were increased.
Due to adrenaline, he was able to hold on. Otherwise, he would have collapsed. This time the system has also warned him, so while keeping his eyes on the tree, he had eaten two healing pills and some spirit fruits.
Slowly his injuries were also healing, and his fatigue was washing away. His injuries were more severe, so they were recovering very slow compared to Song Yu's injuries.
Even though more than thirty minutes had passed and more than half of the leaves had been absorbed, the fruit was still not stopping and continuing to absorb them.
Jian didn't know when it would stop absorbing, even the system had already informed him that the fruit would be mainly similar to a coconut, but it was still absorbing the Qi from the tree's leaves.
This continued for the next two hours; Song Yu has focused on recovering her injuries while Jian was keeping tabs on the tree. More than fifty per cent of Song Yu's injuries are healed.
Jian gave her one more pill because the potency of the first pull was used entirely, and she only managed to heal fifty per cent of her injuries.
Jian himself took two more healing pills and spirit fruits. Even though he has used more than 500 SP on the healing pull, but it was still worth it because the tomb was a lot important.
After two hours, all leaves on the trees were absorbed by the fruit. Only the leaves surrounding the fruit was remaining, but Jian was able to see that they would also wither.
As he had expected, after half an hour, there was not a single leaf remaining on the tree. Jian thought that it would stop absorbing,g and it would be wholly matured.
But when the leaves were completely absorbed, the only wood and fruit that hung on the branch remained, so after drinking the leaves, the fruit started to soak the wood.
Jian had not expected such a thing to happen. The fruit was absorbing the wood at astounding speed, and only after twenty minutes only fruit was remaining, and the tree became a husk.
Jian was able to see all with the help of Star Gaze. The whole tree was dried if; if one were to touch it, then it would fall. Jian immediately stood up, prepared to catch the fruit.
Jian was able to see the fruit swaying, and it was only holding on to a small branch, and at any time, it could fall. Even though nothing would happen to the fruit even if it fell on the ground, Jian was still not letting it happen.
As he had expected when the fruit stopped absorbing the remaining tree. The branch was on broke, and it started to fall. Jian didn't wait and directly caught it in midair.
As he caught the fruit, he felt a burning and tingling sensation at the same time. After landing on the ground, Jian immediately checked the fruit. He was pretty shocked after seeing the fruit.
He couldn't believe that he was holding on to a three-star Spirit fruit which is very rare to find and has dual elements. He checked with Star Gaze and didn't find any problem with it.
He sighed in relief and continued to check the fruit. The fruit was dark purple, and there was an aura around it. If looked closely, you will be able to see very tine fire and Thunder elements joined together.
Jian didn't smell it because it would reduce the potency. But still, l its scent was spreading; even Song Yu had woken up, and she immediately stood and moved towards Jian to see the fruit.
As she took the fruit, she told Jian that she had a feeling that she should eat the fruit. But Jian told her to wait because he didn't know what to do next as they had gotten their Thunder Fire Spirit Fruit.
As he was thinking about what to do next, the tree started to crumble, and the wall which gave them their instructions appeared in its place.
There were instructions written on it. Jian immediately started to read them.
"Congratulations on successful acquiring the Thunder Fire Spirit Fruit.
You have cleared the trial, and the reward is the fruit. As long as you finish eating the fruit, you will be taken to the final test.
Best of luck."
Jian had already expected such instructions; he checked on Song Yu and saw that she was ready to eat the fruit. She was waiting for Jian's permission.
Jian told her to recover first; then, only she could eat the fruit. Although she was reluctant, she agreed to Jian's suggestion because she knew that she would not get time to heal.
She then focused on recovering while Jian also sat down and focused on healing. He kept the fruit aside and ate two healing pills and spirit fruits, and concentrated on recovery.
After more than two hours, Song Yu has wholly recovered, and Jian was only able to recover fifty per cent of the injuries.. Most severe injuries were healed entirely, and inky minor wounds remained.
