Chapter 1438 — Buy Another Villa
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao stayed behind in the villa, waiting for Wu Chengtian's breakthrough. Though at this moment there was no need for Wei Zhao to stand guard, he was still afraid someone might break in and harm him—at this stage, Wu Chengtian had no ability to resist at all.
After everyone had left, Wei Zhao rose and returned to the room, only to see Wu Chengtian covering his lower body pitifully, stark naked, searching for clothes. Seeing Wei Zhao come in, he was immediately embarrassed. "Boss Wei Zhao, while I was breaking through, I accidentally blew my clothes to shreds..."
"Heh... that's normal. It happens to everyone." Wei Zhao was not surprised. "Just find something to put on. You and I are both grown men—what's there to be shy about?"
"It's not that I'm shy about being seen... it's that mine's a bit small..." Wu Chengtian grew embarrassed and took his hand away. "I was afraid you'd laugh at me, Boss Wei Zhao..."
"...Once you have a girlfriend, I'll make it bigger for you. For now, put your clothes on!" Wei Zhao was speechless.
"Huh? It can get bigger? Then thank you, Boss Wei Zhao!" Wu Chengtian was overjoyed, dancing about—happier than he had been at breaking through and advancing. He went off cheerfully to find clothes.
"How do you feel now?" Wei Zhao asked.
"It feels just wonderful. I never imagined I'd become an early Xuan-rank expert—and I cultivate both internal and external arts. I feel like I could even give my grandfather a fight!" Wu Chengtian said. "Crippling Uncle Zhu will be child's play!"
"Mm. Let's leave the matter of Uncle Zhu for a couple of days—until your strength has settled. Your real strength right now is still that of an early Huang-rank external expert; your internal cultivation method exists only to support the external, and it has no offensive techniques whatsoever. So you'd best strike while the iron is hot and raise your external skills as well—that's the proper course!" Wei Zhao knew Wu Chengtian's situation inside out, and he pointed straight at his weakness.
Although Wu Chengtian was also at the early Xuan rank, he differed from Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan. Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan had been internal experts to begin with, so after their breakthroughs they possessed the corresponding strength. He differed from Uncle Qing as well: Uncle Qing had once been an external expert, but that came later in his training—the method he had first cultivated was a superior internal one. So after Uncle Qing was raised, it amounted to using the external to support the internal, not using the internal to support the external as in Wu Chengtian's case.
In cultivating both internal and external arts, one still takes precedence and the other plays a supporting role; it is exceedingly rare for both to be superior methods. And the reason Wei Zhao had never continued training the external arts was precisely that he had never found a truly suitable, truly superior external method—so over the years he had made the internal his focus.
"I understand! Don't worry, Boss Wei Zhao—I know my limits and won't act on my own." Wu Chengtian nodded. "I'll work hard to raise my external strength!"
