Chapter 3433 — Breakthrough, Peak of the Mid Heaven Rank!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Every one of Wei Zhao's recent battles had ended with his stamina and true qi completely drained—but never once had he craved their immediate restoration as desperately as he did now.
The sensation was familiar to him: it was exactly what he felt before breaking through a rank barrier, when he needed vast amounts of heaven-and-earth spiritual energy.
He had experienced it before—the time he attended the Hidden World Clans Summit, the circumstances had been identical. As he replenished his stamina and true qi, the long-awaited breakthrough had come right on its heels.
So Wei Zhao knew this craving for heaven-and-earth spiritual energy was inevitable. He swiftly kept circulating the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, letting the energy within the jade pendant space pour rapidly into his meridians.
Gradually his stamina and true qi were replenished, growing abundant—yet the influx of energy did not stop. Instead, as he ran the heart-method incantation, it grew ever more frenzied...
"This... what is happening to Mr. Lingyi?" The four top-tier enemies had been wiped out, so the Song family ought to have been overjoyed—but now Wei Zhao's face had suddenly flushed a deep red, his whole body looking as if it were about to combust, and the Song family could not help but worry.
Qiu Lingshan, however, understood Wei Zhao. Seeing his condition, she had a fair guess: "Grandfather, Second Grandfather, Lingyi looks like he's about to break through and advance. Let us not disturb him—let us stand guard for him!"
"Mm, you have a point. Some inner-family cultivators do show signs like this when they are about to break through!" Song Xianghua nodded at Song Lingwei's reminder. "In that case, let us all stand guard for Mr. Lingyi together!"
Song Lingwei was an outer-family cultivator, and now she watched Wei Zhao with some curiosity. This man really was formidable—especially that ultimate move of man-and-beast as one! It seemed her sister's judgment was quite sound after all!
By now Song Lingwei was utterly convinced, and would never again dare say she wanted to test Lingyi. Qiu Lingshan had said she feared Lingyi might hurt her—and that was indeed the case! Never mind anything else: one lightning bolt, then two palms to follow, and Song Lingwei would surely have been dead, not merely injured!
And that had been before Lingyi's breakthrough. If after breaking through he became an expert at the peak of the mid Heaven Rank, would he not be even more fearsome? The thought sent a chill of dread through Song Lingwei.
Thank goodness she had not provoked him—though her attitude toward him earlier had not been especially good either. She wondered whether this brother-in-law held grudges.
Beyond all that, there was also that strange creature called Little One, standing beside Wei Zhao like a pillar at this moment, its origin unknown, possessing the strength of peak late Heaven Rank great perfection! Clearly Wei Zhao had brought it along as well.
Wei Zhao had no time to explain to them. Since Qiu Lingshan had already explained, there was no problem—he could set his mind at ease and focus on his breakthrough.
At this moment, streams of warm current flowed from the jade pendant space into Wei Zhao's body, originating from the dantian in his abdomen and surging through his whole frame, followed at once by a searing heat as if every meridian in his body were on fire!
Yet Wei Zhao was not worried. This was not the first time he had felt this; he had grown used to it as a matter of course.
Thereafter the burning in his meridians grew ever more intense, and Wei Zhao felt that, starting from his meridians, his entire being was about to catch fire!
Even so, Wei Zhao gritted his teeth and held on calmly. He knew this feeling all too well—the feeling before a breakthrough. The more painful it was, the closer he was to the final step!
