Lu’s gaze settled on the Preaching Platform entry.
Thoughtful.
After four experiences, he grasped patterns: each qi refinement layer unlocked one pull.
Daily use for arrays, secret realms, derivations—no limit.
Finger tapped phoenix guard.
Pondered—smiled.
No immediate pull.
Shifted to prior reward.
“Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment once…”
“Thunder as reward—amusing.”
Lu light laugh.
Cautious with punishment; pre-layer four unsafe—unused.
Now layer four—time taste.
Mind stirred—entered reward.
System prompt popped.
“Risk exists; confirm?”
Lu stunned—repeated confirm; dangerous.
But chosen— no retreat.
Confirmed.
Curious why reward; differ from origin rewards?
“Confirm; issuing… countdown 3, 2, 1…”
Prompt text; ticking.
At “1”—
Vision black; vast vortex sucked soul; consciousness yanked endless dark.
“Top mid-martial peak expert tribulation experience.”
Dark prompt.
Darkness cleared; Lu sat bamboo chair; four crones carried; scenery flew; wind howled ears.

“Top mid-martial?”
Lu murmured.

Ordinary spot.
Blessed lands—how fearsome?
Top mid-martial?
Lu thoughtful; reward profound; glimpse top mid.
Thus—high martial?
Lu deep breath.
Wuhuang to high, super fantasy—long road.
As pondered.
Crones sudden stop.

“Prince; Du tribulates; city sealed; cannot enter; view here.”
Crone said.

“Tianxu smash…”
“Make Du laugh; thunder kill?”
“Tianxu black heart dirty.”
Experts roared; echo city.
