Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 521 - 374: Resisting the Heavenly Tribulation

"That also depends on whether my arrows will agree or not!" Luo Chen interrupted her, his eyes ablaze with battle intent. He was not afraid of Huyan Sheng or the State Preceptor; on the contrary, he yearned to fight against such masters, to test his own strength.

Luo Chen was tired of being hunted. Since the Black Panther Sect, he had always been in a state of being pursued, whether during his brief respite with the Su Family or amidst the Xiao Family’s chase at Pot Bottle Mountain, he had never truly settled down to cultivate. He hated the feeling of being hunted, as if his destiny was controlled by others.

However, after being enlightened by the White-haired Monk, Luo Chen suddenly understood a principle: if he kept running away and avoiding confrontation, his cultivation progress would stagnate. He needed to put himself in mortal danger to unleash his potential. He wanted heaven to envy his talent and strength, to bring on a heavenly tribulation to cleanse his body and soul.

Thus, he chose to stay and fight the enemy to the end. He not only wanted to protect himself but also to protect Li Xin by his side. He wanted to prove everything with his strength, making those who had chased him pay the deserved price.

While unlocking his arrows, Luo Chen’s gaze remained steadfast and ruthless. He knew the battle ahead would be even tougher and more brutal, but he was fully prepared. He took a deep breath, slowly pulled back the bowstring, and aimed at the distant enemy.

As he released the bowstring, an arrow shot out like a meteor, piercing accurately through a cavalryman’s chest. Then came the second, third... each arrow took away an enemy’s life. Under Luo Chen’s rain of arrows, the enemies fell one after another, screams echoed continuously.

Li Xin watched Luo Chen’s heroic and fearless figure, her heart was filled with admiration and gratitude. She knew this time she could escape danger thanks entirely to Luo Chen’s desperate rescue. She silently stood by Luo Chen’s side, cheering him on, also feeling proud and blissful to have met such a hero.

The battle continued, but Luo Chen had already taken control of the entire situation. His archery became increasingly exquisite, and his speed faster. Every shot hit the target accurately, striking fear into the enemy. Under Luo Chen’s leadership, the two successfully broke through the encirclement and fled towards a more distant place.

In the vast desert, Luo Chen stood alone atop a giant sand dune, his gaze deep and determined, seemingly filled with endless belief and courage. He understood that the approaching heavenly tribulation was both a huge challenge and a rare opportunity. Only by experiencing the baptism of the tribulation could he undergo a rebirth like the Phoenix, growing even stronger.

Heavenly tribulation, it’s an existence that every fighter both fears and awaits. It’s like the Damocles sword hanging overhead, might drop at any moment with devastating thunder, turning the painstakingly cultivated strength of fighters into nothing. However, it is precisely such dangers and challenges that inspire the fighters’ inner passion and fighting spirit. Because only by passing the trial of tribulation can they break through their limits, ascend to the Immortal Realm, and be listed among the immortals.

At this moment, Luo Chen was filled with anticipation for the tribulation. He no longer hated the inexplicable lightning as he used to, but rather eagerly awaited them. He knew this was the perfect chance to enhance his strength and an essential path to enter a higher realm.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, dispelling all distractions and fears within. Then, he lowered his head, looking at the bundle of unlocked arrows at his feet, a gleam flashed through his eyes. These arrows would be his weapons in the upcoming battle and assist in his fight against the tribulation.

In the distance, cavalry from all directions were regrouping. Their torches appeared like stars in the sky, illuminating the entire desert. That was the enemy’s army, coming fierce and threatening, clearly intending to put Luo Chen and Li Xin to death. However, facing such enemies, Luo Chen felt no fear or retreat. His heart was filled only with the will to fight and heroism, as if at this moment, he had merged with the entire world and become an invincible existence.

Li Xin stood by Luo Chen’s side, feeling the fierce battle intent emanating from him; her heart also surged with an indescribable impulse. She longed to charge into the fray immediately, engage in a life-and-death struggle with those cavalry, even if the outcome was blood-stained on black qi, returning wrapped in a corpse, she would still not hesitate. This man, his heroic spirit had deeply infected her, making her even more brave and determined.

The cavalry charge began. They shouted, waving their weapons, charging up the dune. Meanwhile, they employed horn bows to shoot for cover, attempting to use arrows to kill Luo Chen and Li Xin. However, the dune was too high, their arrows often lost strength halfway, falling into the desert.
