Chapter 946 — Recovery! Breakthrough!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao's eyes flew open. The energy within his body had already filled to the saturation of his state before his strength had plummeted!
At last, recovered... his strength had finally returned!
Yet Wei Zhao did not stop circulating the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. He knew from past experience that each time his strength was utterly spent, once it returned he could draw another portion of energy into his body, and very likely force a breakthrough!
But if he stopped now and tried to cultivate again later, he feared the effect would never come again. So Wei Zhao kept absorbing the energy from the jade pendant's realm, for he could clearly feel that although the energy in his body was saturated, he could still, with effort, draw in more.
The energy gathering around Wei Zhao grew denser and denser, and as the energy drawn into his body climbed ever higher, that surrounding energy began to pulse violently, whirling into a vortex that spun rapidly about him.
An expression of unbearable agony flooded Wei Zhao's face. He felt his body was about to burst; the energy within was on the verge of its absolute limit, and if he did not release it now, he would blow apart like an overinflated balloon.
But Wei Zhao did not halt the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. Gritting his teeth, he quickened the pace of his cultivation yet again.
Once more the energy around him was stirred into motion, surging swiftly into Wei Zhao's body, and the energy within him climbed to a new height.
As the energy within grew ever denser, an unnatural flush spread across Wei Zhao's face, made grotesque by the swirling vortex of energy.
Almost there — truly almost there! Wei Zhao gave a low grunt. Let the storm come on all the fiercer!
"Boom!"
With a thunderous roar, Wei Zhao felt as though his whole being would fly into the heavens. Under the colossal impact of the energy within, the barrier between tiers shattered with a deafening crash. In an instant more energy came pouring into his body, yet this time there was none of that sensation of bursting past every limit — instead came a most comfortable feeling of nourishment...
A breakthrough! And with it, the meridians within Wei Zhao's body could now take in still more energy!
The energy vortex around Wei Zhao grew weaker and weaker, most of it drawn into his body, and the color of his face shifted from that fevered flush to a healthy hue. Then Wei Zhao sprang up from his bed!
So this was the power of the mid Mystic Tier? Truly a world apart from the peak of the early Mystic Tier! No wonder it had been so difficult back then to fight that external-school expert at the peak of the mid Mystic Tier! A single tier's difference could sometimes mean the difference between victory and defeat!
"Phew!" Wei Zhao exhaled a breath of stale air and patted the mighty general beside him. "The time has come, Mighty General. This time, we shall be the protagonists!"
"Woof, woof..." The unconscious Mighty General seemed to sense the powerful, surging aura radiating from Wei Zhao, and it roused as well, barking twice at him in delight!
Those barks were full of joy; it seemed to have sensed the return of Wei Zhao's strength as well.
