At the same time, outside the cafeteria, Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen were tense, with brows furrowed as if water could be squeezed out of them.

Their eyes revealed a bit of worry and alertness. After all, today was of great importance. It was the critical moment for all the preliminary disciples of the Pure Land Sect to enter the second round of trials.

In order to ensure that He Ronger and his team could participate in the test smoothly and avoid any unnecessary interference, the two of them chose the most covert way - hiding in the shadows around the cafeteria and silently guarding this peace.

They witnessed with their own eyes the scene of He Ronger and Xu Chong walking into the cafeteria hand in hand.

Although they were secretly worried that they might neglect their work due to their greed for food, out of respect and trust, the two guardians did not interfere. They just stood guard at the periphery more vigilantly to prevent any accidents.

However, as time slowly passed, the duration of an incense stick seemed to be stretched out and became extremely heavy.

There was still no movement in the cafeteria. He Ronger and Xu Chong had not shown up yet. This caused ripples in Fei Xiuwen's heart and he felt anxious.

He gently touched Zou Mubai's shoulder and suggested in a low voice: "Mubai, let's go in and take a look at the situation. I hope nothing goes wrong."

Just as they were about to take action, a sudden pressure swept in from the depths of the cafeteria, like an undercurrent.

Although it was just a tiny breeze for people of their level of cultivation, it was enough to make them realize that something unusual was happening in the cafeteria.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen looked at each other, and without hesitation gave up their previous caution. They flashed and rushed into the cafeteria like two lightning bolts.

When they hurriedly stepped into the cafeteria, fully expecting to find He Ronger and Xu Chong quickly, they were shocked to find that the scene before them seemed to be cast by some mysterious magic - the two people disappeared silently under their noses, like dewdrops in the morning mist.

This scene made Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen's hearts instantly rise to their throats. Tension and confusion intertwined into a complex web, shrouding their hearts.

At first, the two looked at each other, their hearts filled with anxiety and confusion.

But soon, Zou Mubai, with his keen perception, carefully captured the subtle changes around him.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, and the spiritual energy around him flowed slowly, as if creating some subtle resonance with this space.

After a moment, he opened his eyes. Although his expression was solemn, there was a sense of certainty in his eyes: "They haven't gone far, and their breathing is stable. There should be no worries about their lives."

With this judgment, Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen decided to remain on the sidelines for the time being, choosing to wait and see how the situation develops further.

However, this peace did not last long.

At that moment just now, an unprecedented strong wave suddenly hit their minds. It was the unique breath of the power of Heaven, so powerful and majestic that people could not help but feel awe.

"Could it be..." Fei Xiuwen lowered his voice to a very low level, almost whispering, for fear of disturbing the secret that was about to be revealed, "Did Rong'er get promoted?"

Zou Mubai's brows were almost twisted into a knot, and the expression on his face was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air.

He knew very well that thunder tribulation was a life-and-death test for any cultivator, especially for a young disciple like He Ronger who possessed the five spiritual roots.

He recalled his previous detailed investigation of He Rong'er's physical condition and cultivation. At that time, she had indeed not yet reached the threshold of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Because of this, he was relieved to let her come to Wanjing Sect to participate in the selection.

But now, if she really advanced to the Nascent Soul stage without any preparation and was about to face the terrifying thunder tribulation, then the situation would become extremely tricky.

Zou Mubai's heart was full of contradictions and worries. He believed in He Ronger's prudence and tenacity, but he could not ignore the terrible power of thunder tribulation that could destroy everything.

"Can she really survive this thunderstorm alone?"

This question echoed repeatedly in Zou Mubai's mind, like an invisible shackle, tightly binding his thoughts.

He knew very well that as a guardian, he couldn't just sit there and watch. But at this moment, he seemed to have no other choice but to pray and wait silently.

At this moment, He Ronger stood alone in the mysterious barrier. Her face was as pale as paper, and the dense beads of sweat on her forehead formed a sharp contrast with the heavy atmosphere around her, revealing that she was experiencing unprecedented torment and struggle in her heart.

She had not originally expected to have an opportunity for promotion here, so before going down the mountain, for practical reasons, she exchanged many of the treasures she had carefully prepared to resist thunder tribulations for spirit stones in case of emergency.

However, this sudden change made her secretly regretful, but it also strengthened her determination to face the challenge.

Just now, a hideous crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and the first purple and almost weird thunder, like an angry dragon, carrying the power to destroy the world, hit her head squarely.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. The purple light and deafening thunder intertwined together, enveloping He Ronger.

When the dust settled, He Ronger had been thoroughly baptized by thunder and lightning. His clothes were torn and his skin was charred. He looked as if he had walked out of a sea of ​​fire. He was covered in bruises but still stood stubbornly, refusing to fall down.

Fortunately, she still carried some of her own modified protective talismans. These talismans played a role at the critical moment and helped her resist part of the power of the thunder tribulation. Otherwise, she would have really become a pile of charcoal and annihilated between heaven and earth.

Xu Chong, who was standing by, witnessed all this and felt heartbroken.

He tried desperately to break through the invisible wall to help He Ronger.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could only stay where he was and watch He Ronger endure the pain and suffering alone.

His shouts pierced through the thunder, carrying endless concern and encouragement: "Rong'er, hold on! If you can get through five more, you'll succeed!"

Hearing Xu Chong's call, He Ronger felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She must never give up easily!

She looked down at her charred body, then looked up at the dark clouded sky, with an unyielding light in her eyes.

She knew that the road ahead would be more difficult, but as long as there was light in her heart, hope would never be extinguished.

"Isn't it just five?" He Rong'er swore secretly in her heart. She took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and prepared to face the next challenge.

She believed that as long as she could persist, she would be able to overcome this thunder tribulation and complete her path to promotion.

Come on, let this thunder tribulation come more violently, she is already prepared to welcome her own glorious moment!
