Chapter 942 — Fleeing Together, Because General Valiant Has Leveled Up!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
General Valiant, who had been at the early Yellow Rank stage, had actually jumped several levels at once! It had become a high dog with the peak strength of the late Yellow Rank!
Wei Zhao's eyes went wide with shock. No way? Simply because it had lost all its strength, when he had poured his power back into General Valiant's body, it had actually become a high dog at the peak of the late Yellow Rank!
It was actually stronger than Qiu Lingshan? Was the world playing tricks on him? He had casually created a high dog at peak Yellow Rank strength—how were all those fine Yellow Rank experts supposed to feel about that?
Still, at this moment Wei Zhao had no time to ponder the whys and wherefores. Once he learned that General Valiant was in no trouble at all, he entered the cultivation space once more—he was already dying to restore his own strength!
And besides, if General Valiant could advance in strength after being broken and rebuilt, then what about him?
It seemed that every one of his own breakthroughs had come about in just this way—through breaking before building. Every time, it had been when he was injured or when all his energy had been drained dry; and then, once the energy came surging back into his body, he could shatter the bottleneck of the previous level!
This method of leveling up by breaking before building was something Wei Zhao had never heard of, yet it worked for both him and General Valiant!
Wei Zhao entered the jade pendant space and once more set the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art in motion. Energy surged into his body again, but this time it was all for his own use! He could even feel the sense of fullness that came as energy filled every single meridian—it was bliss beyond words!

When Gu Pengzhan returned to the villa, he found Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both sitting on the living-room sofa in a daze. They were not watching TV, nor doing anything else—the two of them simply sat there staring blankly…
"Yaoyao, Little Shu!" Gu Pengzhan walked in. "Has Little Yi left already?"
Gu Pengzhan assumed Wei Zhao had already left the villa, and that his daughter and Little Shu were sitting on the sofa in a daze because they were feeling a little down.
"Daddy, you're back…" Gu Mengyao came to her senses and looked up at Gu Pengzhan.
"Mm, Daddy's back…" Looking at his somewhat haggard daughter, Gu Pengzhan felt a pang in his heart. He had never been able to give her a happy life. Though in material terms, Gu Mengyao wanted for nothing, in terms of family affection he had owed her far, far too much…
The child had lost her mother when she was small, and Gu Pengzhan had been too busy with business to pay her any attention. In the blink of an eye, she had already grown so big! Gu Pengzhan had never truly understood what his daughter's life was like.
So this time, Gu Pengzhan had made up his mind: no matter what, he would help his daughter find her own happiness. He would accompany her, along with Wei Zhao, back to their hometown to escape this disaster!
"Daddy, Wei Zhao hasn't left. He's in his room…" Gu Mengyao trailed off, not knowing how to explain—because even she did not know why Wei Zhao had not left, or why he had suddenly gone back to his room.
"Oh? Little Yi hasn't left? Wasn't his train at a little past six tonight? It's already past seven—if he doesn't leave, he won't make the train…" Gu Pengzhan was slightly taken aback. He glanced at his watch and spoke with some puzzlement.
"I don't know either. What happened was this…" Gu Mengyao told her father about the strange events that had occurred just as Wei Zhao was about to leave.
"Yeah, it's really strange. Arrow-Brand Bro has been holding General Valiant in his room for over four hours now, and he still hasn't come out. Who knows what they're doing in there?" Shen Yushu added, equally puzzled.
