Chapter 152: The Gain After the Tribulation
He doesn’t know how long he has been passed out, but Aldrian can sometimes hear muffled sounds. When he opens his eyes, he sees the ceiling. Turning to his side, he notices Xin Haotian, Duke Valiard, and Mardred talking to each other. However, when they sense Aldrian waking up, they look in his direction.
"How do you feel?" Xin Haotian asks.
Aldrian tries to sit up by himself and adjust his position. He sighs, still feeling a little sore in his body.
"I’m good. How long have I been passed out?"
"Six hours. I have to say, your recovery is impressive. You were in really bad shape out there; I thought you were done for, crippled for life. You had 95% of your body burned, all your meridians burst, and your dantian was damaged. But that golden energy of yours is truly amazing, and your body’s self-recovery is shocking. With how messed up your body was earlier, it’s a miracle that you can heal yourself. All the physicians on the continent would want to study your body if they knew how it works," Xin Haotian explains.
"Forget about being crippled after that kind of tribulation; instead, you’re now at the peak Earl stage. It’s really crazy! How did you attract that kind of tribulation? Did you somehow offend the heavens or something?" he adds.
Duke Valiard and Mardred also look at Aldrian with curiosity. Earlier, they thought they were going to die, being the closest to him under the tribulation clouds. Even though they were inside the cave for cover, they could still feel a power they would never forget in their lives. They believed that the heavens wanted to destroy the world with such a tribulation.
Even before the first strike of the tribulation, they had already felt the terrible pressure. During the final strike, they genuinely thought they had entered the afterlife, even though they were not the ones facing the tribulation. At first, they wondered who could attract such a powerful tribulation, but when they remembered Aldrian, they realized it was him who had somehow drawn this kind of calamity.
After the tribulation ended, they assumed Aldrian was dead—there would be no remains, not even ashes left after that lightning strike. But when they sensed life in the rocky field beneath them, they were shocked to see that Aldrian was still alive, albeit in bad shape.
