After leaving the arena where the competition took place, Wang Wei and Wu Hong returned to his residence. After activating the formation to prevent anyone from spying, Wang Wei took out something from his space ring.

It was actually the room that housed the Divine Punishment Thunder. It was previously located somewhere under the Dao Opening Sect, but before leaving for his trip, Wang Wei had True Monarch Yan Chen create a small world where he can place the thunder and carry it inside his space ring.

After entering the small room, both Wang Wei and Wu Hong found themselves in front of a lake with black liquid inside. Countless lightning and thunder strikes could be seen flashing once in a while on top of the lake.

"There should be no problem, no?" asked Wang Wei. Wu Hong looked at the river for a brief moment before nodding.

Wang Wei then immediately removed his Sacred Son garment and stood inside the room with only his underwear. His very well defined and beautiful muscles were exposed to the world.

He started to do some poses to show them off. However, every time he contracted his muscles, the sound of steel grinding could be heard coming from his body. Every time he clenched his hand, the sound of the air breaking could be heard.

His vitality and blood was so exuberant that the temperature around could be raised by him just by the blood flowing throughout his body.

Meanwhile, Wu Hong looked at Wang Wei’s poses with a calm look on her face. However, a deep sense of speechlessness could be seen in her eyes as she knew that he did that on purpose.

"Don’t you have any shame? Getting naked in front of a lady you just met less than a week ago?"

"Hmm, if I do not remove my clothes, how are we supposed to properly do this kind of thing?" replied Wang Wei with a look of innocence in his face, despite the fact that his words were purposely vague and ambiguous.

Wu Hong sighed helplessly, however she had a slight smile on her face; it was as if she was very amused.

"Alright, let’s begin," she ordered sternly. Wang Wei nodded before sitting cross-legged in front of the lake.

Suddenly, Wu Hong’s eyes lit up white, then with a wave of her hand, countless runes appeared in the room. There were four of them and were circular in shape. Then, with a wave of her other hand, all the black water or Divine Punishment Thunder in the lake floated into the air.

The four runes surrounded the water in the shape of a box. Wu Hong clenched her white and smooth hand, then the black thunder started to condense and decrease in both size and volume.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei was watching the entire process in awe. He did not feel any aura from Wu Hong, nor did he understand the meaning of these runes that she made.

Forget understanding them, he did not even recognize them. It was then that Wang Wei realized how little does he truly know about the world, and how powerful his future girlfriend is.

A few minutes later, the Divine Punishment Thunder was turned into the size of a first surrounded by a sphere made of runes; and it was floating in the palm of Wu Hong.

She then looked at Wang Wei, "Now, I will seal it on your spine, that way it becomes much harder to intervene with your internal organs.

"The power of this thunder will slowly release in order to temper your body and you can determine the level of power that is released, but don’t go overboard. And do not release that power in your internal organs until you properly tempered them."

Wang Wei smiled before nodding. So, Wu Hong did what she said and sealed it inside his spine.

As soon the little orb entered his body, Wang Wei groaned as he felt a mysterious power starting to ravage all of his bones. Soon after, his already tempered to Great Perfect bones started to crack.

In just a few seconds, all 206 of his bones were cracked to the point of almost being destroyed. However, his regeneration ability kicked in and his bones were back to normal.

Unfortunately for Wang Wei, this process did stop after only one time, but a few hundred thousand times. In just a few hours, he experienced his bones being repeatedly cracked and repaired. The worst part was that the pain was even more severe when he used Heavenly Tribulation to temper his body.

Half a day later, the process stopped as his bones were no longer cracking, however Wang Wei had an ugly look on his face. The power he was using to temper his body was not even one billionth of the Divine Punishment Thunder, yet it had such power.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he started the process again. This time it was his skin that went through that torture. So, he spent another half day feeling the pain of his skin being ruptured and being repaired again and again.

Meanwhile, Wu Hong was looking at all of this with a calm look on her face. She knew what it took to become a True Powerhouse, so she did not help him--not even to remove his pain. She knew that if Wang Wei could not bear such little suffering, then his chances of becoming a Great Emperor would be close to zero.

As for their relationship, unfortunately, without becoming a Great Emperor, she will have to witness him entering the cycle of Samsara again and again until he finds a way to reach immortality.

It is just like Wang Wei said during the True Dragon Inn Meeting. As a future companion, he has to be able to pull his weight in the relationship, otherwise he would become a burden that Wu Hong has to carry by herself.

Although Wu Hong would not mind such a thing, she knew that Wang Wei’s pride would never allow him to become a burden to her.

So, she did not try to appease him as she knew that he did not need it; she knew that he had the will and spirit to do what it takes to reach the top, and accompany her along the way for eternity.

If they want to establish a true companionship, then they have to have similar status, strength, and starting line.

Meanwhile, after finishing re-tempering his skin, Wang Wei then directed the black thunder to his muscles. However, this time he dramatically reduced the power. His muscles have not been tempered to Great Perfection yet, so he did not want to take any risks.

After doing that, Wang Wei stood up from the ground, clenched his hand, then threw a punch.

Boom!

A powerful explosion ringed out in the room, following which, a space crack appeared where his fist landed. However, after a few seconds, the space crack closed and everything returned to normal.

Wang Wei knew that this space crack represented that his fleshly body had reached the strength of the Void Shattering Realm--even if it was the lowest level of that realm. His fist could break the Power of Law.

However, he was not that happy. Well, to be precise, he was thinking about something completely weird.

He realized that the reason that it took him so long to create a method to refine the Divine Thunder Punishment was because it was involved around the power of Law. To be precise, it involved Dao Law according to Wu Hong.

Wang Wei can deduce that Dao Law was probably the law controlled by Great Emperors based on his knowledge in all the cultivating realms. However, here comes the issue: How can his future wife easily seal such a power?

Wang Wei has always known that Wu Hong was powerful, but he did not expect her to be so powerful. However, he did not really care about such a thing as he himself will reach such level and beyond eventually; what he really care about was his future sex life.

When in the future, he and Wu Hong get intimate, wouldn’t he have to be at the bottom? Without the proper strength, he can imagine that with Wu Hong’s personality, she will really make him the bottom without hesitation.

Well, as a modern person, he does not really care about this, but he still has his macho side and would like to be on top.

Wang Wei sighed as he realized that for a great while, his sex life will be quite miserable--until he has the strength that is. Then, he will take his revenge. Hopefully...

"You were thinking weird again, weren’t you?" suddenly asked Wu Hong with a smirk on her face.

"I do not know what you are talking about," replied Wang Wei calmly while putting his clothes on.

Wu Hong smiled before walking up to him; she then caressed his grey hair slowly before saying: "Don’t worry, I will take your ego into account and let you be on top once in a while."

Wang Wei had a shocked look on his face as his eyes bulged and his mouth opened wide; he was genuinely shocked. Then, he backed away from her with vigilance,

"Can you read my mind?"

"You do not have to worry about that," replied Wu Hong calmly.

Wang Wei still had the vigilance on his face. Although he could accept her being more powerful than him, more knowledgeable and even have many secrets, but he will never accept if she could read his mind.

Wu Hong noticed the vigilance in his eyes, but she did not mind as he knew him better than himself.

"You do not need to worry. With your soul, no one can read your mind without you even knowing--not even me."

Wang Wei nodded as he realized that he may have been a little too sensitive. However, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind and he asked:

"Do you know about my soul? About Paragons?"

Wu Hong pondered for a brief moment before responding: "Well..."
