Without warning, the tribulation blast the first lightning!

But the moment it touched the barrier created from Shelly's [Atmospheric Barrier Concept], it was ward off! It didn't even managed to penetrate the strong barrier.

It was really a good, powerful sight but the figure of lone fox ready to receive the bathing of lightning but got blocked look so pitiful...

It was like as Celia said, Blue won't increase the might of Heavenly Tribulation but will be able to absorb instead. Not only he'll be able to help others to their Heavenly Tribulation, he'll be also able to absorb the lightning to increase his Lightning-Energy and could even raise his comprehension about [Heavenly Lightning]. It not hitting two bird with one stone but three birds!

However, as though Shelly started to live on its name, he already turn into absolute defense mode. Now, not only he only have his turtle shell as defense, his shell was already to started to get covered with thick soil and barrier due to his two unique comprehended [Concept]. The Heavenly Tribulation fail to pierce the [Atmospheric Barrier] block the lightning which also blocks Blue to absorbing any.

But just like a very known knowledge regarding Heavenly Tribulation, not only it will send a barrage of lightning continuously, it will also get powerful than the first!

This time, Shelly didn't attract any tribulation phenomenon but since his [Potential] are [True] in the first place, it was without a doubt that the heavenly tribulation he face was powerful and many.

According to pass down knowledge, the greater the [Potential] the creature was, the greater the heavenly tribulation they will face. If this will be based on Celia's comprehended [Concept], [Heaven's Paratism] where based life and cultivation, those with high [Potential] will definitely be treated as high parasite by the Heaven, or like a great disease. Just like the human, the body will do everything it can to fix or kill what ails them. Thus, heavenly tribulation could be said an elimation of parasite under the Heaven.

Seeing that the second bolt of lightning was about to strike, Blue instantly brought himself outside of [Atmospheric Barrier] influence. The moment he came out, the second bolt of lightning strike!

Boom!

The second bolt of lightning was apparent more powerful than the first. Still, it wasn't enough to break the [Atmospheric Barrier]. It could be seen just how powerful that invisible barrier.

As for Blue, it was immediately bathed with Heavenly Lightning. But instead of feeling pained, the fox howl in happiness while absorbing the great amount of lightning!

Seeing this, Cole immediately prompt and summon Blue's status panel. And after the single bolt of Heavenly Lightning started to thin out and gradually weakening, which only happen for a short minute, he see that Blue's EXP rise from 90% to 92%!

2% increase! If this continue, then Blue will reached 100% and make a breakthrough to Tier-5 immediately!

The sight of Heavenly Tribulation looks monotonous but tenseful. If not because he could see that Shelly was practically an indestructible fortress and Blue was just like taking a bath, he'll teleport beside them and block the bolt of lightnings too!

The lightning blast got more powerful than its former. It was only when the tribulation reach the seven pillar of lightning the atmospheric barrier started to quiver but didn't break in the end.

When the ninth and last barrage of lightning blast, it was only then Cole heard the sound unique of cracking. But in the end, the barrier still didn't break. It seems that the formation of the secret garden really helps on blocking the might of tribulation. If the place didn't have those formation, perhaps the atmospheric barrier break by the eight lightning.

After that, the black clouds started to disperse and clear sky appear again.

Then, a greenish aura, almost the same as Aurora Borealis, descend and bath Shelly. It was only after it vanished when Shelly's [Concept] pass the mark and reach 1%!

Shelly have finally step on Tier-5!

Excited, Cole was about to approach Blue and Shelly when a crazy amount of information he didn't know flow into his mind.

The information was like a Chinese language, he didn't understand any of it. But as time passes by, the true meaning behind those information gradually started to become clear.

The information he received actually contains many truths. And as his understanding and comprehension about it deepen, inside his [Soul Sea], Shelly's [Soul Fruit] have started to crystallized a part of it.

It was only after some time Cole learn what's the meaning of happening to him; through the [Soul Fruit], all of Shelly's understanding about his comprehended [Concept] was getting transfered to him!

This should be one of the purpose of [Soul Fruit]. By creating the very secure connection between them through soul, the tamer and beast have created a synchronized connection between them too. The only thing he knew about the [Soul Fruit] was it could help to heal the injured soul of one another. But through with that continuous synchronization, it could also actually send one comprehension to one another too.

This just means that he could learn the comprehended [Concept] of his soulbound beast! Perhaps this didn't happen before as Shelly have yet to fully understand and receive the blessing of Heaven but after he reached the 1%, it was immediately synchronized.

Moments later, a passive barrier have also appear enclosing Cole. It was the same as what Shelly have, the atmospheric barrier.

After he received the truth about [Atmospheric Barrier], new understanding flow into his mind again. Seconds later, he raise his palm and a phantom of shell appear floating. A huge amount of Earth-Energy from the ground have flow into his body and was send to that shell phantom.

On one close look, in top of that illusionary shell, a scenery have started to appear. First, it was just a flat land but through his thoughts, mountains have started to rise. On top of that mountain, a clear stream of water have started to flow downwards.

When the whole place have started to take shape, the atmospheric barrier around Cole shrunk until it only covers the illusionary shell on top of his hand.

Moments later, Cole finally open his eyes and look at miniature nature in front of him. Although it looks simple, this scenery actually contain many truths about nature.

However, no matter how beautiful it was, there's one thing about this small scenery; it was just a phantom, an image. It can't be touched physically.

Cole knew that this happen because he have yet the received the blessing after the Heavenly Tribulation. But the moment he did, it will turn for real.

He continue to check for few minutes before he send it back inside his [Soul Sea].

It was only then excitement bubble his whole body. Now that he learn this, he can't help but anticipate in what will happen when Celia also reached Tier-5.

While he was being excited by the future, new information of truths flow into his mind again. He close his eyes again then digest and comprehend this new flow of informations.

With the prior experience, he didn't need a long amount of time as he digest the new information quickly. When he finished and new [Concept] appear in his status panel again, a meter around him stop for a moment. Dust in the air, even the light, could be seen freezed in the air.

It was only when Cole open his eyes again before everything return to normal. What he just received was Virgo's comprehended [Concept], [Moment Control].

He don't know the reason why he only received Virgo's [Concept] now but he believed that it should have something to do with Shelly. Shelly was first among his beast and also first to be soulbound, perhaps he needed to received Shelly's [Concept] first before he could acquire the others.

On his side, Celia was having the shock of her life. Her master have just used the [Concept] of her brother Shelly but he also used their new companion mysterious [Concept] of time. Among her inherited knowledge, there were no such thing included. Even them, Dragons who have have a long time of inheritance and heritage don't have a knowledge about this. Dragons are very proud of their cultivation method which is coveted by many but humans have already created a more scary one already. Its no wonder despite their lack of potential, they could rival other race in terms of power.

However, after the initial awe, she started to feel worried afterwards. It was known that the might of Heavenly Tribulation was base on several factors, including but not limited to potential, karma and type, number, rarity of comprehended [Concept]. Just their new companions [Concept] was already very rare, now with addition of brother Shelly's, she could already anticipate the difficulty of his Heavenly Tribulation.

Filled with worry, an idea form inside her head, she should not make a breakthrough to Tier-5 unless her master was finished first. Or else, the moment she did, her master will also comprehend her [Concept] and knowing its severity, the Heaven might break the law and eliminate him...

Anyway, he only needs to meet the required energy to breakthrough to Tier-5 standard.

The gears inside her head churn as she thought of solution, her skill [Enhanced Intelligence] working full time.

Meanwhile, Cole set aside the matter of [Concept] and check Shelly and Blue first.

The great change about Shelly was he literally looks like a floating island. The top of his shell was now covered with thick earth, a mountain was already formed in it and water was flowing on top of it. Although it looks bear but it could easily tell that it was a fertile land. Only needs to plant to make it perfect.

As for Blue, he have reached the 100% EXP mark, which means that he only needs to face his Heavenly Tribulation and he'll also reach Tier-5 if successful.

However, since the might of Heavenly Tribulation gets stronger than the first, Blue have already reached the 100% mark. This was why there's a change to Blue's appearance. Now, there's a set of crystals floating beside his body and lightning was flickering inside and out of it.

When Cole try to check what it is through Blue's status panel, it was actually a new skill called [Lightning Crystals]. There's also other new skill.

Lightning Crystals [Passive] A very rare skills that's only available to special species of beasts that specifically absorb the nature's natural lightning. Absorbed excess Energy, Force and Essence will be transfered outside the body in the form of crystallized crystal for temporary storage.

Lightning Gathering Array [Passive] The Lightning Crystals have formed a special natural formation that attracts lightnings. Unabsorbable lightning will be automatically stored and gradually refine by the array. The Lightning Gathering Array can magnify lightning and thunder attacks and abilities.

As though it was meant to be his path, Blue have already started to gear towards the path of lightning absorber. Blue's new learned skills assist him on gathering and absorbing lightning.

While Cole was studying Blue, Shelly release a blinding light which caught all of their attention. When it vanished, a man in his twenties was standing there and a floating shell on top of his hand, very much like him when he comprehend Shelly's [Concept]. Shelly have assumed his human form!

From the very start, Shelly's bloodline rank was True, he could transformed into human form if he wanted to. However, for the long time, Shelly didn't do it before. He don't know the reason why but it was great now that he transformed into human.

Shelly's human form have white complexion while his face could be considered very handsome, definitely the effect of his True-Rank bloodline. His head only have small length of hair and its color was dark blue, the same as its overall appearance back in his turle form.

In addition, Shelly also have a lazy face and stature, probably from the fact that he's turtle.

However, unlike Celia who have his dragon skin transform into white dress, Shelly transform naked, after all, his turtle shell should not be able to transform into clothes but more like an armor.

Immediately, he took out his spare clothes from his spatial ring and gave it Shelly to wear. However, Shelly just look at it with confused gaze. It was only then it dawn to Cole that Shelly might don't have an idea to wear human clothes. Left with no choice, he help Shelly to wear it.

After that, Shelly just smile at him and flash behind him, hug Cole and rest his chin to his head.

Cole just smile, thinking about the fact that his head was Shelly's favorite spot. It was his throne.

With loving tone, Cole said, "Congratulations Shelly..."
