Otherwise, once Wei Zhao himself grew strong enough that no one dared lay a hand on him, what was to stop some villain from striking at the family and friends around him instead? Such a man would surely invite Wei Zhao's mad revenge, but brain-dead fools existed in this world all the same!
"Good!" Chen Yuxuan drew a deep breath and said with solemn gravity, "For such great kindness, thanks are too cheap to speak!"
"Spare me that useless talk. Since when do you stand on ceremony with me?" Wei Zhao scolded with a laugh, "Only when you have strength of your own can you protect Xiaoshu from now on. I cannot guard her for a lifetime. The days ahead will have to rest on you, her elder brother!"
"But... you and Xiaoshu..." In truth Chen Yuxuan rather approved of his sister being with Wei Zhao. There was Qiu Lingshan on this side, Tang Zhi on that side, and a Feng Xiaoxiao still waiting to be rescued, yet on the one hand he could see his little sister truly loved Tang Zhi, and on the other he himself admired Wei Zhao from the bottom of his heart.
"Ha... let us not speak of that." Wei Zhao waved his hand to bring the subject to a close, then laid both his hands upon the meridians at Chen Yuxuan's wrists and said, "Start circulating your heart mantra to absorb true qi. I am about to begin!"
"Good!" Chen Yuxuan nodded, and on his side Wei Zhao closed his eyes, entered the jade pendant space, and set the Xuanyuan Dragon Art circulating...
In the next instant, a vast flood of true qi was drawn into Chen Yuxuan's body! Though Qiu Lingshan had already described to him what an enhancement felt like, Chen Yuxuan was still stunned beyond words at this moment! Could this be the legendary transmission of power?
Such rich and mellow true qi was something Chen Yuxuan had never encountered in his life. Even the qi breathed in deep among the old forests of the mountains was not half so pure as this. He dared not delay for a moment and began to absorb it with all his might...
Qiu Lingshan had already received Wei Zhao's enhancement once before, so she felt little surprise now. Instead she sat quietly to one side, guarding the two men lest anything from outside disturb them...
Toward the second half of the night, Wei Zhao halted the transfer of energy, and Chen Yuxuan had, without any doubt, reached the peak of the late Yellow rank! What did not surprise Wei Zhao was that once again it stopped dead at this bottleneck, unable to advance a single step further!
"I... I am really at the peak of the late Yellow rank?" Chen Yuxuan spread open his hands in disbelief and cried out in shock, "Is this real? In such a short time I have gained such power. It is just like a dream!"
"I felt exactly the same back then..." Qiu Lingshan glanced at Wei Zhao, who seemed not the least bit affected, and could not help giving a bitter smile. Just what kind of monstrously powerful man was he?
Even her grandmother, when transmitting power to her grandfather, had to sacrifice her own strength, and could never in a single short session lift another person all the way from the early Yellow rank to the peak of the late Yellow rank! How many grades had been leapt across in between? It was simply inconceivable!
"For now this is all I can do. Whether you can break through to the Xuan rank will depend on your own efforts." Wei Zhao said with some regret, "If I am to raise you to the peak of the late Xuan rank, I must first strive to become an Earth-rank master myself!"
"It can still be raised further..." Chen Yuxuan stared with wide eyes! He had never imagined that the day Wei Zhao became an Earth-rank master would be the day he himself became a master at the peak of the late Xuan rank... It was almost too much to take in!
But fact was fact, and he could not disbelieve it, for he had personally witnessed how in a single night he had gone from the early Yellow rank to the peak of the late Yellow rank! The speed was like riding a rocket!
