…

*Cry!*

The bird shuddered the moment it saw the lightning. It released a loud cry before charging straight toward it.

Theo couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, noticing something weird about this bird. It was true that the bird had gotten stronger, but there was something different about this bird.

When the bird clashed with the lightning, it released all its strength. The translucent barrier appeared, and the wings were filled with lightning.

The moment it shattered his lightning, the bird noticed something different. The lightning was weaker than the bird imagined.

Suddenly, Mia shouted, "Dad! Use the same thing again and again! Or do it even stronger."

Theo frowned, not understanding what she was talking about. However, he had to trust Mia since she knew more about the story's tropes.

Without hesitation, Theo shot the sky once again, releasing that powerful lightning.

The bird was startled once again, but it wasn't scared by the lightning anymore as it soared into the sky and charged at the lightning before it fell down.

"…" Theo was surprised by the sudden action, but his instinct kicked in, noticing another danger coming from above. "Huh? What is this?"

*Cry!* The bird let out another cry as it flapped its wings, spreading all the lightning energy.

All of a sudden, instead of Theo, the heavens sent forth the lightning this time. It started with the clouds swirling around.

"!!!" Theo raised his head, noticing the movement of the cloud. It wasn't him or the bird.

'What is this? I can feel that something much more magical is moving that cloud. The Dao? No, this is not Dao… I can feel the connection, but that's not it.' Theo thought for a moment. 'Don't tell me, the world's will? Then, does this mean the Heavenly Dao? What does this mean?'

"Dad!" Mia called him while waving her hand, asking him to go here.

Although confused, Theo still landed on the ground. He looked up, seeing the bird challenging the lightning that the sky produced.

"What is this?" Theo asked.

"I believe this is Heavenly Tribulation," Mia answered without hesitation.

"Heavenly Tribulation?" Theo frowned.

Mia glanced at Feng Xiaoling, who would explain the rest to him.

"Yes. From the start, the bird's cultivation was at the 10-Star Golden Core Stage. However, I assumed that the bird was injured after challenging the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation and its strength fell to 8-Star.

"After fighting against your lightning, it regained its confidence and re-challenged the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation to finally become a Nascent Soul beast. As for whether it could reach the stage or not, it would depend on its fate," Feng Xiaoling explained while looking at the bird.

Mia nodded in agreement. She looked proud to have discovered it.

Theo shook his head helplessly while patting her head. It seemed that he had to watch what was going to happen to the bird after this.@@novelbin@@

While he was at it, he also showed the comments to Mia.

Mia was curious about both the bird and the comments. And since the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation didn't end that fast, she took a look at the comments.

"I will choose number 15 because someone mentioned duck. 15 looked like a duck in a sense. As for the tribulation's meaning, I'm not sure either. There are a lot of stories using it, but I don't know if they carry the same meaning here or not. But I think I understand why the author is playing with the trauma here, but I will stop here. I'm afraid the author is going to change it if I disclose what I think."

"As for this Ash, I'm not sure who you're talking about. But his achievement seems extraordinary. But from the looks of it, it's in another story, so the time flows very differently. The flow of time in this story is pretty fast, so maybe you will see the teenage me. Don't fall for me." Mia winked her right eye playfully.

"And yeah, it's good to know how much you can play with time skip since it will be essential for future progress." Mia smirked. Her father had been experimenting with a lot of things since the beginning of the story, so he should get a good grasp on a few things to manipulate the story.

After replying to the comments, Mia raised her head to see the progress of the bird.

At the same time, she couldn't help but ask, "By the way, the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation is sending forth a few lightning bolts, right? How many lightning strikes are there usually?"

Feng Xiaoling thought for a moment. "For Nascent Soul, there should be eight strikes. That's the seventh strike!"

"What?" Mia dropped her jaw. She was just talking to the readers for less than three minutes and the bird had actually reached the seventh strike.

She hurriedly looked up, seeing the bird's wings shining brightly as it shot a purple beam toward the lightning.

However, the lightning actually broke apart the purple beam and reached the bird.

*Cry!*

The bird was wailing in pain. Its body looked charred as it fell to the ground.

It looked tired as though it didn't have any more will to fight the heavens. But when it tilted its head, it saw Theo.

During their clash, the lightning didn't seem to be that amazing, which gave it the courage to rechallenge the tribulation.

Theo looked at the bird with a solemn expression. It didn't cheer for him, but he actually made it look like he was enjoying their fight and expecting the battle to be more interesting. To do that, the bird had to break through to the next realm.

It was a selfish request, but the bird was actually thankful to him. In the end, Theo gave him the courage and the determination.

The bird stood up once again. Its wings shone brighter than ever.

*Cry!*

With a loud cry to the sky, the bird was challenging the heavens to finish their battle. This one last strike only had two possibilities. If he didn't succeed, he would perish.

Hence, there was only one thing to do.

The moment the eighth strike fell down, the bird shot out another beam. It was much more powerful than the last beam.

The clash lasted for a few seconds as the sky turned into two colors: purple and gold. The golden lightning kept reducing the power of the beam before eventually breaking the beam apart.

Seeing that it was useless, the bird didn't get discouraged. It poured the last bit of its energy to charge toward the lightning.

*Cry!*

The beak clashed with the golden lightning, producing a tremendous shock wave that blew away the trees near the top of the mountain. The golden lightning was scattered by the beak, causing a few landslides. The trees that got hit by the residual lightning lit up.

Even Theo had to raise his barrier to protect Mia and Feng Xiaoling from the lightning.

Unfortunately, the bird's beak suddenly cracked and shattered as the golden lightning hit the bird's body, striking it down.

The bird was shrieking as it fell from the sky.

Theo frowned, realizing that the author was planning to kill this bird. Mia looked at the bird for a second before thinking about a brilliant idea.

Without hesitation, Mia rushed toward the bird.

"Mia?!" Theo panicked, not expecting his daughter to approach the bird. He was worried that the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation would harm her.

But before she got too close, Mia stopped and took out a small object from her space ring. It was the phoenix tear.

Theo got two phoenix tears from the Phoenix clan, so he stored one in his own ring while giving the other to Mia in case of emergency.

He never thought that Mia would actually toss the phoenix tear at the bird.

"That's the phoenix tear…" Feng Xiaoling dropped her jaw in disbelief.

The bird could see Mia doing something, but it didn't know what she was doing.

There was an object coming into its mouth and in that instant, the bird felt a surge of strength around its body.

Even the beak that had been shattered by the tribulation gradually recovered.

'The bird looked like it didn't survive the tribulation, but when taking another look, the bird should have passed the tribulation. It just… doesn't have enough strength left to make a complete breakthrough.' Mia thought while looking at the bird.

She realized that she could actually help the bird with the phoenix tear, giving the last push to its advancement.

And there was one reason for Mia to offer such a priceless treasure to this bird.

'Just like the normal main character, they are using their trump card soon because they will get another trump card later. In that case, why don't I use that trump card to help this bird? In exchange, this bird might become strong enough and grateful enough to me and my father.

'I never thought that I would be revealing the secret in less than a chapter, but yeah, the phoenix tear might be a hint that the author drops to subdue this bird. And with this, we get a new companion, so don't blame me, dear readers.' Mia gave a smug smile.
