Chapter 56: Significant increase in strength
The transformation process required meticulous care and focus. Alexander started directing the Yin-Yang energy towards the five elements. He divided the Yin-Yang energy into five parts, each carefully transformed into corresponding elemental power.
First, he condensed a part of the Yin-Yang energy into a mental element. His consciousness became remarkably clear, as if entering a transcendent state. He could feel his thoughts becoming extraordinarily agile, sensitive to every minor change around him.
Next, Alexander guided the Yin-Yang energy towards the wood element. It was as though a massive tree had started growing within him, spreading lush green leaves. He could almost hear the sound of the tree sprouting, the emergence of life force within his body.
The transformation then shifted towards the water element. A cool energy flowed within him, like a stream rushing through his meridians, bringing an incomparable sense of tranquility. It felt as if the entire world had become silent within this running water.
The Yin-Yang energy was then converted into the fire element. A passionate force burned within him, bringing boundless vigor and vitality. He seemed to have turned into a ball of flame, radiating endless heat, all fear and indifference incinerated within this blaze.
Lastly, the Yin-Yang energy transformed into the earth element. A sturdy force consolidated within him, as if he was an unshakeable mountain. He felt even more profound and stable, able to stand firm against any storm.
Witnessing the magical scene happening to Alexander’s body, a look of astonishment flickered across the eyes of Alexander’s women. It was beyond belief!
With his eyes still tightly shut, Alexander asked inwardly, "System, I have converted the stored Yin-Yang energy in my body into the energy of the five elements. What should I do next?"
"Host, let me help you measure the elemental values in your body," the system replied.
Soon, the system’s test results were ready: Spirit element accounted for 0.2%, wood element 0.21%, water element 0.2%, fire element 0.19%, and earth element 0.2%.
The system immediately said, "Host, your wood element energy is slightly stronger, and your fire element energy slightly weaker. Remember, keep them balanced! Don’t let any element’s energy get too high or too low!"
"I understand," Alexander responded calmly.
Under the system’s guidance, Alexander strictly adhered to the standard, keeping the five elemental energies within his body in balance.
As time passed by the second, he immediately began the second phase of balancing work under the system’s guidance after the first phase of transformation.
He controlled the five types of elemental energies in a specific manner and placed them in specific locations. However, as the Yin-Yang energy stored in his body became scarcer, Alexander could clearly feel that his body had reached its limit.
Finally, after balancing all elemental energies at 0.2%, Alexander opened his eyes forcefully, suppressing the elemental energy within his body, gritting his teeth, and said, "Now comes the crucial moment, I need yours help."
Anna spoke without hesitation, "Dear, what do you need us to do for you?"
At that very moment, Annie, as if sensing something, turned her head towards the window. The sky seemed to have darkened suddenly. The moment before was bright sunshine, but now, the sky was gloomy.
Jessica said, "Is this the test?"
A solemn expression appeared on the faces of the other women. At the same time, ominous clouds slowly swept across the sky over Washington. Pedestrians on the street were all puzzled.
"Is it going to rain?"
"But didn’t the weather forecast say it would be sunny for the whole week?"
"Why would such a large cloud suddenly appear?"
Alexander said nothing. He raised his head, took a leap, and directly jumped onto the roof.
The sky, with its rolling dark clouds, was turbulent.
He immediately sat cross-legged on the rooftop, closed his eyes, and his body slowly emitted a faint golden glow.
The next moment, all five women of Alexander stood up, gazing solemnly at the sky.
On the rooftop, Alexander lifted his head, opened his eyes, and said, "Come!"
Just as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky from south to north.
Instantly, electronic devices throughout Washington emitted crackling sounds amidst the flash, sparks flew, and eighty percent of the region was plunged into darkness.
The interference from this lightning nearly caused a complete power outage throughout Washington.
In the city, one car after another was stuck at the intersection, and all pedestrians were terrified by the sudden flash of lightning.
"What on earth was that lightning just now? So scary! It was like the apocalypse!"
"The power is out! The entire city is without power!"
Rolling clouds covered the sky, and the rumbling thunder echoed between heaven and earth, with lightning flashing among the thunderclouds.
These rolling thunderclouds directly alarmed all psychics across the United States.
Inside the temple, the High Priest gazed solemnly at the thunderclouds in the sky, saying, "Who is so capable to trigger the Thunder Tribulation?"
The young man following behind the High Priest was shocked, "Thunder Tribulation?! You said that the spiritual energy of this era is extremely scarce, right? Is there still someone in this era who can trigger the Thunder Tribulation?"
The High Priest solemnly said, "No, this is not an ordinary Thunder Tribulation, a regular Thunder Tribulation does not have this scale."
The young man’s breathing became rapid, "High Priest, then what... what is this?"
The High Priest’s eyes were even more solemn, "Some things that should not appear in this world have defied the norm, born into this realm, so the will of Heaven will bring down real thunder to annihilate them."
"This could be the most terrifying kind of Thunder Tribulation... called the Five Thunders Real Tribulation!"
The young man’s pupils trembled slightly, "Five Thunders Real Tribulation..."
The High Priest took a deep breath, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, saying:
"Could this be a sign of the resurgence of spiritual energy? It’s unexpected that there is something in Earth capable of triggering the Five Thunders. God bless!"
The sky.
The thunder roared, and real thunder fell.
All five women of Alexander came out of the door, looking solemnly at the sky.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning crossed the sky.
The next moment, strange phenomena filled the sky.
"It’s coming!" Alexander’s gaze was urgent, and he suddenly clenched his fists, hardening his body to its strongest state.
A black lightning bolt, like an angry thunder dragon, gathered in the sky.
As if carrying a power that could crush the world, it roared towards the position where Alexander was.
All the city’s glass exploded instantly.
The people of the entire city covered their ears and let out sharp screams.
But at that moment, Alexander lifted his head, and he abruptly reached out his hand towards the void.
Under the astonished gazes of all, Alexander leapt high, swinging a punch in the direction of the lightning.
The rolling black real thunder, upon contact with Alexander’s fist, vanished instantly.
"Honey, you’re incredible, we love you!" Alexander lowered his head and waved to them.
This punch seemed powerful, but it had exhausted all of Alexander’s strength.
System: "Don’t celebrate too early, look, the thunderclouds are still gathering, the next wave of tribulation is about to come!"
Alexander remained silent. At this point, he didn’t have any energy left. He just looked up, planning to resist the thunder tribulation with his body.
In the sky, the tribulation was like a roaring beast, descending furiously. But the remaining tribulation did not harm Alexander. Instead, it made him feel exceptionally warm.
Apart from Alexander, the rest of the tribulation struck his women. Remarkably, these tribulations did not harm them, but enhanced their bodies, even affecting the unborn babies within them.
With the final bolt of the tribulation, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, restoring clear weather. Alexander leapt down from the rooftop, his face beaming with joy.
After the baptism of the tribulation, not only was Alexander unharmed, but the elemental powers within his body were also elevated to a level of 15%. Compared to the initial 0.2%, this was an unimaginable leap!
Alexander’s women all came forward, their faces unable to hide their joy: "Darling, this is amazing, I feel much stronger."
"I feel it too, our babies seem to have become stronger."
...
A few minutes later, in the yard of the villa, Alexander calmly stood beneath the tree that had been split earlier, starting to experiment with his newly acquired elemental powers.
The next moment, Alexander abruptly opened his eyes. His eyes were immediately enveloped by frost, an effect of the power of the water element.
He shouted and threw a punch.
Elemental Fist, first layer!
Frost, accompanied by the shockwave, instantaneously swept over the land within a hundred meters, icing the ground and creating a chilling aura.
The next moment, he quickly switched attributes. The fist that was initially wreathed in frost was immediately covered by flames.
Left hand frost, right hand flame!
Elemental Fist, second layer!
Boom!
A deafening noise echoed in the sky. At a thousand meters above, the clouds were instantly half-frozen and half-burning.
Alexander took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp.
Elemental Fist, third layer!
In an instant, his thoughts became extremely sharp, able to perceive all the minor changes around him. He shouted and spun around, throwing a punch towards his house.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed. His villa instantly had a five-meter wide hole in it.
But it wasn’t over yet, Alexander growled, "Elemental Fist, fourth layer!"
He roared, directing the rolling power of earth elements towards the ground beneath his feet.
Boom!
The ground instantly exploded, creating a massive crater that was a dozen meters wide. Numerous cracks spread out like a spider web.
The surrounding walls collapsed, and the villa, which was already teetering due to the tribulation, exploded instantly.
Joy appeared in Alexander’s eyes. "The power of the fourth layer of Elemental Fist is so great. If this punch hits someone, wouldn’t they explode instantly?"
But...
Looking at his collapsed house, Alexander gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.
Sophia: "Honey, we don’t have a home anymore..."
