Chapter 4176 — At Death's Door
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
The rest of the onlookers were still unable to determine Wei Zhao's age for certain, but Kang Jingming knew it very well: Wei Zhao really was only twenty years old. To succeed in forming a Golden Core at twenty—what the hell kind of concept was that?
Not to mention that Su Zhaohe, this so-called genius who had formed his core at thirty-five, could not compare—even if one scanned the entire history of Yunjie Island and counted every formidable figure one by one, one would probably fail to find a single powerhouse who had formed a core at twenty. What was Wei Zhao, then? A freak, or a madman?
Compared with the shock and helplessness of Kang Jingming and the others, Miserable Senior Brother, Xiao Che, and the rest now let out a long breath of foul air. When they had first learned that Su Zhaohe was at the early Golden Core stage, they had truly been sweating for Wei Zhao—who would have thought that in the blink of an eye Wei Zhao would turn the situation completely around!
To have successfully formed a core back in his Welcome Pavilion days—Wei Zhao was not merely the number one newcomer of the present; even across the entire history of the Sandie Pavilion, he could claim the throne of number one newcomer, and might even surpass a legendary figure like Zhang Lifeng. This was a terrifying achievement worthy of being written into the annals of history!
Miserable Senior Brother and the others were beside themselves with excitement, and over in the stands, Shangguan Lan'er and Huang Xiaotao were even more astonished and delighted. The worry they had felt for Wei Zhao had been greater than anyone's by far.
When they had just learned that Su Zhaohe was actually an early Golden Core expert, Shangguan Lan'er had even grabbed her own grandfather's beard, ready to make Shangguan Tianxia forcibly intervene and call a halt.
As for Huang Xiaotao, though she knew Wei Zhao could escape from the hands of a Golden Core expert, that was a completely different matter from facing an early Golden Core Su Zhaohe in battle.
However much one might dislike Su Zhaohe as a person, one thing could not be denied: this man was strong. At the great perfection of Foundation Establishment he had already been able to mount a head-on counterattack against Golden Core experts—now that he had reached the early Golden Core stage, would he not be even more powerful and unsolvable?
The odds were grim, and the two women's judgment of the situation matched everyone else's. Yet who could have expected that Wei Zhao was already at the early Golden Core stage as well—this was a genuine earth-shaking piece of news!
But the layman watches the commotion while the expert watches the craft. Though the whole crowd had been utterly dazzled, they still failed to see where Wei Zhao's true heaven-defying quality lay. Only Shangguan Tianxia, with a single glance, pierced straight to the essence of it; the look in his eyes as he now regarded Wei Zhao shimmered with an uncommon light.
"A Ten Thousand Beauty Golden Core? Could this little thing have achieved a perfect breakthrough?" Even Shangguan Tianxia, a top-tier magnate, was truly taken aback by Wei Zhao now. Both were early Golden Core, yet the aura surrounding Wei Zhao was simply not something a so-called millennium genius like Su Zhaohe could ever be mentioned in the same breath with.
Forming a core at twenty was already an earth-shattering event, and adding the legendary perfect breakthrough made it even more absurdly heaven-defying. Shangguan Tianxia could not help but give rise to an unprecedented sigh of feeling—the younger generation truly was to be feared!
"What? You are early Golden Core too?" Su Zhaohe, the man himself, was now both shocked and furious. He had thought crushing Wei Zhao would be as easy as crushing an ant, but in this instant he suddenly felt a pang of insecurity.
