Chapter 3885 — The Limit Golden Pill
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Since he had been able to slap Murong Zhen just now, he could naturally have killed her as well. But now was not the time for killing! If he merely defeated Murong Zhen, perhaps no one would pay it much mind. Killing her, however, would be a different matter entirely.
In the Welcome Pavilion, though there were quite a few fights, actual deaths were not many. If he happened to draw Nantian Guan's attention and rouse his suspicion, the loss would far outweigh the gain.
This battle today was not only a warning to that woman Murong Zhen, but also a deterrent to Meng Jueming and the rest. He did not hope to make these people give up on the spot, but at least they would be wary for a while, sparing him a great deal of unnecessary trouble.
As for exposing his peak early Foundation Establishment strength—that was bound to happen sooner or later.
In any case, after observing for more than a month, Wei Zhao was fully certain that Nantian Guan's and Yu Jiang's gazes had already shifted away from him. So even if he displayed peak early Foundation Establishment strength, there would be no great problem.
"My heavens! Just what kind of freak is this kid? Did he take the wrong medicine? Otherwise, how could his strength improve so fast?" Sensing the powerful aura radiating from Wei Zhao's body from afar, Meng Jueming was filled with astonishment and doubt.
Though he himself was on the verge of breaking through to mid Foundation Establishment, he was still only at peak early Foundation Establishment for the time being. That meant Wei Zhao, a newcomer from the mortal realm who had entered the Welcome Pavilion less than four months ago, had now reached a strength equal to his own, the managing senior brother's?
That was simply impossible!
Meng Jueming instinctively ruled out the possibility. If Wei Zhao's earlier Foundation Establishment could be accepted as the result of a Foundation Establishment Pill, then to advance to peak early Foundation Establishment after only two short months of Foundation Establishment—such a thing had never been heard of or seen before!
"It must be the Limit Golden Pill!" Meng Jueming immediately found himself a more easily acceptable explanation. The Limit Golden Pill could let a person unleash power beyond their own level for a short time. Even at the Foundation Establishment stage, that effect would not weaken much—so long as one was below Foundation Establishment, it would take effect!
This kid Wei Zhao must have anticipated that Murong Zhen would challenge him today, so he had prepared the Limit Golden Pill in advance—perhaps even recklessly taken two in a row at any cost—and that was how he had been able to overwhelm Murong Zhen on the stage!
Yes! That explanation made sense!
Only then did Meng Jueming's mood improve considerably. Otherwise, if this creature Wei Zhao really were a peak early Foundation Establishment expert, he would truly be in a pickle.
It was no longer a question of whether he could suppress Wei Zhao. To advance from a mere Heaven-rank Great Perfection all the way to peak early Foundation Establishment in less than four months after entering the Welcome Pavilion—such a genius was enough to draw the attention of every higher-up in the Azure Cloud Pavilion!
One had to remember that Wei Zhao, unlike Murong Zhen, came from the mortal realm—a true grassroots newcomer—and every breakthrough he made was proof of his cultivation talent!
If Wei Zhao could keep up this miraculous performance, a glorious future would be a matter of course. With a bit more opportunity, he might even become like Gongsun Jie of the Soaring Heavens Pavilion—a future leader singled out by the Azure Cloud Pavilion for key training and support. That would be far beyond someone like Meng Jueming to handle, even if he got his wish and took the seat of Third Pavilion Master of the Welcome Pavilion!
