"Phew—" Wei Zhao silently counted himself lucky. Catching sight of Old Jiao in the jade pendant's space, he could not help but grin. "I never thought I would live to see you again!"
"I never thought so either. I truly never thought so. I was sure you were done for this time," Old Jiao said, nodding in wholehearted agreement. "But who would have guessed that a brat like you would dream up such a mad move? You are a lunatic, plain and simple! Utterly insane! Do you realize that if you had retreated a single step later, you would have been smashed to pieces? Do you think you are tougher against blasts than Ma Zhu, who cultivated the Golden Bell Shield?"
"That..." Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile, suddenly awkward. "At the time, I could not afford to care about anything else, could I? How could I have thought about the consequences? What I was thinking then was that it would already be good enough to take Ma Zhu down with me! By the way, Old Jiao, why did you not warn me?"
"What good would my warning have done? You had already stopped caring about such things — would you have paid any heed to my warning?" Old Jiao shook his head. "Still, I never imagined that you would develop such an application for energy — an energy bomb. Truly vicious! That one blast was no less powerful than the explosives you used to blow up the Qibing Building!"
"Heh... at school, my physics teacher always used to say one thing: when you are out of ideas, think of energy. So I thought of energy..." What Wei Zhao meant was the way one solved physics problems.
Over this period, Wei Zhao had often sat in on classes at school. When solving physics problems, the phrase his physics teacher repeated most was "when you are out of ideas, think of energy," and Wei Zhao had taken it to heart. Who would have thought it would become a crucial means of saving his life?
"..." Jiao Yazi was somewhat speechless. "You can call it luck, but I have to say, you have created a trump card — one that lets you defeat opponents above your level. Still, its usefulness is rather limited."
"Oh?" Wei Zhao was briefly taken aback, then nodded, understanding what Jiao Yazi meant. The energy bomb might be devastating, but unleashing it did tremendous harm to himself as well. If it killed the opponent outright, well and good; but if it did not, and the opponent still had the strength to strike back, then Wei Zhao would be the one in grave danger!
The energy bomb drains every last drop of energy from the body; once it is unleashed, one has staked one's entire life and fortune on that single move. It is dangerous in the extreme! That is why this move can only be used when there is no other way out.
Take today, for instance. Though Ma Zhu had been gravely wounded by the blast, he still had the strength to strike at Wei Zhao. Had he not been scared witless by Wei Zhao at the time, had he kept attacking, Wei Zhao would most likely have met his end right there!
The only thing was that Wei Zhao could still stand at that moment. Bedraggled as he looked, there were no signs of grave injury, and that left Ma Zhu utterly terrified. He feared that if Wei Zhao unleashed another such sure-kill move, he would truly be blasted into nothingness!
"Indeed, this move cannot be used carelessly. Otherwise, it really is dangerous!" Wei Zhao nodded.
"All right, hurry up and take a look at your own injuries," Jiao Yazi said to Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao sat cross-legged and silently circulated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. His body was in desperate need of replenishing its energy!
Energy from the jade pendant's space surged into Wei Zhao's body at incredible speed. This feeling of being filled to the brim with energy was truly wonderful! Wei Zhao could not help letting out a cry of pure comfort, reveling in the influx of energy!
But the very next moment, an expression of utter horror appeared on Wei Zhao's face!
