"But isn't the energy inside me universal? So if my opponent is wounded, will it absorb General Valiant's energy on its own?" A rather terrifying possibility suddenly occurred to Wei Zhao, and he asked at once.
If this skill was passive, then when others needed energy, would they not also produce the very scene of today?
"No!" Jiao Yazi spat out a foreign word.
"Why no?" Wei Zhao was rather at a loss.
"The Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art is in truth a universal formula for energy conversion. Through this formula, you can draw the energy of the natural world and of the jade pendant space into your body, converting it into the energy in true qi form that you require and storing it within yourself!" Jiao Yazi explained. "But the skills others cultivate are not the same as yours, so the type of true qi their bodies require is naturally different as well. The reason the energy in your body is called universal energy is that you can use the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art to convert it into whatever kind of energy you need to produce, and so you can heal the injured! But General Valiant does not know the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. The energy within it is forever your own energy; apart from you, no one else can use it at all, because it cannot convert it!"
"So that is how it is!" In an instant Wei Zhao understood the principle behind it all. No wonder the energy inside General Valiant's body could be used by him without first circulating the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art to convert it—because it was his own energy to begin with!
General Valiant had never cultivated true qi on its own before, so whatever Wei Zhao had fed into it, that was what it became.
But others were different. Without conversion through the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, Wei Zhao's true qi energy was of no use to anyone else either!
"It is lucky you held something back, or this time it would truly have been trouble!" Jiao Yazi said with feeling. "Still, all things are ordained by heaven in the dark. So long as you can pass through the crisis smoothly, that is enough!"
"Heh, but with General Valiant, from now on I have one more trump card for preserving my life. It seems the true qi bomb can still be used after all..." A trace of a smug, cold smile flickered across the corner of Wei Zhao's mouth. With this card in hand, he could do battle with experts several levels above his own!
"Still, you had best not use it if you can avoid it," Jiao Yazi said, shaking his head.
"Hm?" Wei Zhao was doused with a bucket of cold water and froze on the spot.
"First, if it does not detonate properly and blows straight into your heart or your skull, you need not wait to find that dog and ask it for energy—you will simply be dead," Jiao Yazi said.
"Hm..." Wei Zhao smiled bitterly and nodded. Indeed, this true qi bomb was very dangerous, entirely the sort that harms others without benefiting oneself, essentially a certain-kill technique of the mutual-destruction variety.
"Second, if one strike fails to kill your opponent, then your opponent will kill you," Jiao Yazi said. "So I advise you to make cultivation and the raising of your strength your proper path. This sort of offbeat trick—best to use it sparingly, and only when there is truly no other way!"
"I understand!" Wei Zhao nodded. "You are right. Only the raising of one's strength is true strength. These tricks—using them once in a desperate moment is one thing, but to keep using them is to harm both others and oneself!"
"Heh, so long as you can see it clearly, that is enough..." Jiao Yazi nodded with a smile, speaking with heartfelt gratification.
Beside Wei Zhao, General Valiant was rapidly absorbing the energy flowing from Wei Zhao's body. It nestled against Wei Zhao in incomparable comfort, enjoying the nourishment of the energy.
