That man had sent no word for a long while now, but all at once Gu Pengzhan saw his shadow in Wei Zhao—only Wei Zhao's temperament was colder and prouder.
"Uncle Chu, congratulations on successfully moving the group to the provincial capital!" Han Xiaohu raised his glass and said, somewhat ashamed, "I ought, as the local big fish, to have done my modest part—but I never expected the hidden Zhao family to stick their oars in. If not for you stepping up, Leader, I still couldn't have handled it!"
"Xiaopo, don't belittle yourself. If not for that old bastard Old Bi, Zhao Qibing wouldn't have dared run so rampant," Wei Zhao said mildly. "This time, the hidden Zhao family should be quiet for a while."
"Yes, Leader, you're simply too fierce! Can you now kill a peak late Earth rank expert in a single blow? But I see your strength is still mid Earth rank?" Han Xiaohu looked at Wei Zhao in some puzzlement.
"Mm, I created a martial technique of my own. It's just that this technique is rather formidable," Wei Zhao said.
"No way? Leader, you can actually create your own martial techniques? What kind of concept is that? You're practically a grandmaster of martial arts!" Han Xiaohu said in great astonishment.
"Grandmaster is going too far," Wei Zhao said with a smile. Then he thought suddenly: if he fused the Forest of a Thousand Transformations with the Frenzied Fire Fist, could that produce a new martial technique? But at the thought he shook his head again. The move produced by fusing the Forest of a Thousand Transformations with the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Palm—the second form—already carried the power of the Frenzied Fire Fist's second form in every palm. Fusing the Forest of a Thousand Transformations with the Frenzied Fire Fist would yield no more than that same power; it would essentially be wasted effort, and success was not even certain.
Back on the arena at the Hidden Noble Families Summit, Wei Zhao had thought of attempting such a fusion, but it had not succeeded. Perhaps it was because the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Palm had so peculiar a way of being unleashed that the fusion could take effect at all.
Of course, if he could make a three-in-one fusion of the Frenzied Fire Fist, the Forest of a Thousand Transformations, and the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Palm, the power would likely reach a terrifying level—but Wei Zhao knew it was impossible! He could not circulate the mental formulas of two martial techniques within his body at the same time; the formulas could only be circulated one at a time, and then unleashed according to the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Palm's method of activation!
Wei Zhao was no Zhou Botong, able to split his mind in two and strike with two different moves at once! He could keep the switching time to an absolute minimum, his left and right hands unleashing two moves one after the other in what looked like simultaneity—but that was merely making the switching of mental formulas supremely fluid, a different matter entirely from circulating two at once.
"By the way, have you heard any news lately of Zhao Qilei of the hidden Zhao family?" Seeing Zhao Qibing had reminded Wei Zhao of Zhao Qilei. He had found it strange indeed not to see Zhao Qilei at the Hidden Noble Families Summit, and later, when he had asked Zhao Qibing about it, Zhao Qibing had hemmed and hawed.
