CRACK-- A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket crashed unto the ground, the impact shaking the entire Ink City, causing everyone to look towards the outskirts of the city.
"Is that a sacred beast taking form?"
"With such a great impact, it cannot be a natural occurrence."
"That's a calamitous cloud!" Someone noticed that the oncoming dark cloud was not an ordinary one.
"Could it really be that there is a sacred beast taking form?"
"I have ever seen a scared beast taking form, and that's completely different from this calamitous cloud."
"If that's not it, that what would cause such a disturbance and such a calamitous cloud? You saw that bolt of lightning, it was thicker than a bucket!"
"There was only one bolt of lightning. We will know as we watch." When the first bolt of lightning hit, no one was paying attention. And by the time everyone's attention had been caught, only the mountain range was in view, but they were unable to see the target of the storm.
At that time, Sima You Yue was in the mountain valley, clenching her teeth in anger. Why had no one told her that when you ascended to the divine rank, that there would be bolts of lighting? She had just successfully ascended in ranks, but before she could celebrate, she noticed the dark clouds gathering right above her head, with little jolts of electricity running through them, sending a wave of terror through her heart.
CRACK----
She knew that when one ascended in rank that there would be some commotion, but no one had ever talked about thunder and lightning, so why did it happen to her? She certainly wasn't a spirit beast taking form! Although she didn't know the reason behind it, she quickly decided to call out all the people from the spirit pagoda, in case they were to get trapped inside the spirit pagoda. As Wei Zi Qi and the rest emerged from it, they were shocked to see the large clouds around.
"You guys had better leave quickly." Sima You Yue yelled.
"We will stay with you!" Sima You Le said.
"No! If there are outsiders during the movement it will just make the lightning bolts stronger." Sima You Yue said. "If you guys remain here, the lightning will only get worse. You guys should go."
Sima You Le and the rest looked up, and saw the lightning storm increasing in might and left quickly. It was as though the clouds could feel what was going on, and dissipated a little. Sima You Lin and the rest, who had escaped, heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully the bolts did not get any stronger. If not, they would definitely regret it for a lifetime.
Sima You Yue had never before experienced such lightning storms. She had only seen it from afar when Halcyon was transforming, so she was unsure of what to do, and she called Halcyon out. As he looked at the storm, his body trembled in memory of what he had gone through. It looks like it was traumatic enough for his body to remember it subconsciously.
"Can you check out what is the strength of this lightning storm?" Sima You Yue asked.
"It's much smaller than mine." Halcyon siad. "With your current strength and power, it should not be much of a problem."
"What should I do then?" She had never experienced this before, and had no idea what to do.
"Don't worry, you just need to adjust the spirit energy within your body and adapt to it accordingly. Going through the lightning will refine your body." Halcyon said.
"Got it." Seeing that the lighting was just about to crash down, she swiftly kept Halcyon back in.
CRACK---
With her spirit energy she adjusted the armour of her body, and the first crack of lightning came down upon her. As the electricity hit her body, it broke through the armour, and struck her body directly. As the jolts rushed down her body, the pain was as intense as if her body was being ripped into shreds. She took out a handful of pills and swallowed them, boosting her spirit energy, and it immediately took effect. Although she was in pain, she was not very much hurt. In the past few years she had been training with the methods that Mo Sha had taught her, and her body was able to bear more than the average person. Even Fatty Qu, who had been training his physical strength from a young age, was no match for her.
"The first wave is always the weakest one." Halcyon reminded her, as he sensed what she was going through. Sima You Yue looked up to look at the calamitous clouds, and saw that an even stronger bolt of lightning was forming within it. She quickly adjusted her spirit energies, and to everyone's horror, as the lightning bolt rushed downwards, she flew up towards it, meeting it head on in the sky
