"Crack——!!"
The sound of tearing fabric exploded.
It seemed like a copy-paste effect.
Another thick flash of purple-white lightning!
The imprint from the bolt in the previously clear sky had not yet fully dissipated before another one followed immediately, adding a fresh mark in the sky.
Although the trajectories in the sky were different, the impact point was nearly identical.
Still on the steps in front of the sports hall.
"Bang——!"
With a loud explosion, the scene just witnessed played out again.
Dirt and rocks flew everywhere.
However, unlike before, this time the glass over the sports hall door did not shatter.
Soon, the surroundings fell silent again.
The steps outside the door were now completely destroyed.
At this moment, Lin Beichen had a bright and cheerful smile on his face, oblivious to everything around him.
When the second bolt of lightning struck, he suddenly understood what had puzzled him earlier.
This two-consecutive Thunder Tribulation marked the instant Fire Element’s advancement to the Second Realm——Reverse Truth Realm.
And the reason it directly skipped the First Realm was roughly what he had thought earlier.
"The advancement of the Fire Element is like that of the Gold Element and Thunder Element. If so, does that mean the next step is to forge the Fire Element into the Third Realm as quickly as possible through tempering?"
Lin Beichen unconsciously touched his heart.
Unlike tempering the liver and lungs before, the heart was more intolerant, and its importance to the human body went without saying.
A slight mistake...
It could really be life-threatening!
This time, he planned to temper it gradually and steadily.
"But first, I have to sense the Fire Element in the world before tempering."
Lin Beichen immersed his mind in his surroundings.
Instantly!
The Fire Element appeared.
The Fire Element between heaven and earth was even hotter, brighter, and more violent.
This discovery further solidified his plan for tempering.
Lin Beichen began absorbing the Fire Element from the world.
He stopped after just gathering a small amount and moved it towards his heart, then started tempering.
"Boom——!!"
For a moment, Lin Beichen seemed to hear the violent roar of flames reaching a certain intensity, coming from his body, more accurately, from his heart.
At the same time.
He felt as if his heart was thrown into a fire.
Blazing Flame scorching his heart!
The saying goes, "The ten fingers are connected to the heart." When a fingernail is split or a finger is broken, the pain can feel like it’s piercing the heart, making it unbearable.
Not to mention right now, the pain was directly on his heart.
The pain was so intense there were no words to describe it.
"Ah!!"
With a cry of pain.
Lin Beichen clutched his chest and collapsed to the floor, sweat instantly soaking his clothes, his entire body turned red, and a layer of blood color surfaced on his clean white skin, with wisps of white smoke rising from his body, dissipating into the air.
He looked...
Like a steamed crab that had been placed into a steamer.
However, this sudden situation came and went quickly.
The entire process lasted only a few seconds.
"Phew——"
Lin Beichen took a deep breath, showing no signs of fright on his face.
He could clearly feel that the amount of Fire Element used for tempering just now had caused no harm to his heart.
It was simply a very painful process.
"Not even close to my limit of endurance, this tempering intensity can still be increased."
In cultivation, Lin Beichen was strict with himself.
He had high standards.
It was precisely because of this, coupled with his extraordinary perception, that he was able to progress so smoothly on the path of immortality.
Advancing rapidly.

After resting for a few minutes, Lin Beichen felt significantly recovered and, without wasting time, began absorbing more of the Fire Element from heaven and earth, accumulating a larger amount than before, then proceeded to temper his heart.
"Ah!"
The cries of pain echoed once more!
Even though Lin Beichen had mentally prepared himself fully for the hellish pain before starting the tempering, the feeling of Blazing Flame scorching his heart overwhelmed him beyond his ability to stay silent.
Just then.
Many students came running into the gym from outside.
"Are you alright?"
"Hey? Isn’t this Lin Beichen?"
"Lin Beichen, are you hurt by the thunder?"
"Oh my god, why is his body so red!"
"..."
These students were free at the time, loafing around on campus when they saw the bolts of lightning split from the clear sky for no apparent reason, and out of curiosity, followed the rough location of the strikes to investigate.
When they arrived around the gym and saw the devastating scene, especially the large scorched area where the steps used to be, they immediately concluded the two bolts of lightning struck here.
They flocked to the gates of the gym from all sides.
Before they got the chance to discuss why two bolts of lightning appeared in a clear sky and struck here, they heard cries of pain coming from inside the gym.
That’s why they rushed in hurriedly.
As someone in the crowd shouted, "Don’t just stand there! Quick, call the school doctor!"
The shout snapped the onlooking students back to their senses.
Several students thought even the school doctor might be of no help and had already taken out their phones, ready to call for emergency help from a hospital.
