Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1382

The woman couldn't help but express her despair, but when she opened her eyes and saw Cloud, she was speechless. He appeared full of vitality and never lost hope.

He was handsome, tall, and radiated purity. There was a hint of innocence in his eyes.

Whatever. If he has to die, it's better to die with hope. It's preferable compared to dying without hope, like me.

She expected him to die quickly so he wouldn't have to suffer as he watched hope fade with each passing day and struggled in agony as though he was trapped in hell, only to decay and perish in the end.

"Let's talk about the spiritual body," the woman decided to change the topic. "If—"

She paused for a moment before continuing, "If you manage to escape one day, you should change the way you cultivate and strive to achieve the spiritual body. In the final stage of ghost cultivators' cultivation, they will probably have to undergo the Test of Thunder. Well, it's just my speculation. I once read from the ancient Stone Scroll that the Five Emperors of the Underworld needed to face the Test of Thunder to break through the last stage of their cultivation. Although people see them as mere legends, I spent some time researching and came to the conclusion that the statement is true. If someone ever reaches the final stage, they will eventually face the Test of Thunder."

When Cloud let out a surprised yelp, she turned to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

He didn't want to interrupt her train of thought, and he wasn't sure if he could tell others about Lilly undergoing the Test of Thunder, so he dismissed her, saying, "It's nothing. Please continue."

As they spoke, the golden light inside him faded faster.

Cultivating had become a difficult task. He tried to circulate the power within his body, but he couldn't keep up with the draining energy.

The woman watched him in silence, conflicted within herself. Finally, she said, "I can show you how to stabilize the golden light in your body."

"Thank you so much!" His eyes widened in surprise. After a pause, he added, "You're a kind person."

She only stared at him speechlessly. I'm right. He's too trusting. She felt a pang in her chest. Showing him how to control the golden light only helps him last longer but does not allow him to avoid the inevitable.

The longer he was trapped inside the monster's belly, the more miserable he would become, as he could only watch hope slip away day by day.

The woman, nevertheless, ended up teaching him. She recited the first sentence of a formula, and Cloud repeated after her.

He repeated the formula in his mind after she finished chanting. He cultivated repeatedly according to the formula.

Soon, the golden light became more stable and faded at a slower rate.

The woman only watched without a word. Yet, she couldn't help but speak up, "Don't regret it. You can never leave. The longer you stay, the more desperate you'll become."

He grinned, revealing his bright white teeth. "It's okay. I won't give up until the very last moment."

The woman shrugged. "Suit yourself."
