Legend of the Paladin
SS is using HIS 4th stage tribulation as the standard? The one that got bumped to 8th and made him the first Sage in a thousand years? I think you're expecting a bit much Shuhang. The fact that he can look back on that as 'magnificent' show how much his common sense has broken since then. He's not even self-aware. It's really too late for him now~
Man its quite lucky Senior White is right there, providing SS with the stones he will need for the Black Dragon Tribulation ascension spree. I wonder if this will trigger some ill luck in return, since Senior White is getting more of the research information he was looking for. (even if he is just Clone Senior White)
So this is how Song "I learned how to troll Tribulations from senior White" Shuhang will get his last core. And just in time to trigger his sixth stage Tribulation as soon as he returns to the main world. Witch will force him to rush his core compilations resulting in all sorts of wacky OP abilities to speed him on his way to the seventh stage. And kill him over and over and over again. Got to use all those resurrection items somehow. [img=recommend]
