"It does look like it!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded. "Wei Zhao does smile like that too..."
"He probably learned it from me," Gu Mengyao said, naturally unwilling to admit that Wei Zhao had imperceptibly rubbed off on her.
"Uh..." Feng Xiaoxiao and Xiaoshu were somewhat speechless...
Meanwhile, Wei Zhao remained in his room, cultivating. That Heaven-rank girl Bing Tang had needled him today, filling him with fighting spirit and resentment! Even facing those old seniors, Wei Zhao had never felt this way — only Bing Tang left him unconvinced.
So Wei Zhao gritted his teeth and kept condensing energy balls, resolved to succeed or die trying. Tonight, he was determined to produce a top-grade energy ball!
And wouldn't you know it — with fighting spirit in his heart, after two failures, his final attempt actually succeeded!
Staring at the energy ball in his hand, Wei Zhao was instantly overjoyed. Haha! Spurred on by that Heaven-rank girl, he had actually condensed his first energy ball potent enough to propel him straight from the peak of the late Yellow rank to the early Earth rank!
Wahahaha, Wei Zhao truly wanted to laugh out loud. So many days without progress, and today he had succeeded after only two attempts — how could he not be happy?!
It seemed someone had to keep prodding him along. Without that prodding, he could never have condensed a successful energy ball so quickly. Of course, Wei Zhao had also mastered the skill through long practice; otherwise, no matter how Bing Tang needled him, success would have been impossible!
Wei Zhao laughed and laughed, smug and gleeful — until, in a careless moment, the energy ball exploded with a bang. Wei Zhao was stunned.
What did they call it — sorrow born of extreme joy? This was it. Wei Zhao had finally condensed his first energy ball capable of propelling him straight to the Earth rank, only to blow it up by accident in his delight!
"Damn it!" Wei Zhao's eyes went wide as he stared, dismayed, at his empty hand. The energy ball was gone!
"Haha!" Jiao Yazi looked at Wei Zhao and burst out laughing. "Wahahaha, I'm dying of laughter... Tell me, why did you laugh after you finished condensing it? You're done for now, aren't you?"
"..." Wei Zhao shot Jiao Yazi a glare. "Don't laugh. What are you laughing at? Can't I just condense another one? If I succeeded once, I can do it a second time..."
Wei Zhao drew a deep breath, calmed his mind, and prepared to condense the next energy ball!
Yet just when Wei Zhao was full of confidence, this energy ball ended up a failure! That left him somewhat dejected, but he did not lose heart. After adjusting his state, he continued condensing energy balls!
This time, Wei Zhao was careful, not daring a trace of pride or impatience. He worked with meticulous care, adding energy into the ball bit by bit. After a long while, the energy within the ball finally filled up slowly, and it was about to reach the threshold Wei Zhao had set for advancement!
Wei Zhao drew a deep breath and rested briefly. Then, not daring the slightest negligence, he carefully began adding more energy into the ball... At last, Wei Zhao successfully produced another energy ball!
This time, Wei Zhao did not dare laugh. The moment the ball was formed, without delay, he absorbed it straight into his body and began letting it release its energy within him! And so Wei Zhao's strength shot upward like a rocket!
From the peak of the late Yellow rank, he broke straight through to the early Mystic rank, then the peak of the early Mystic rank, the mid Mystic rank, the peak of the mid Mystic rank, the late Mystic rank, and finally the peak of the late Mystic rank! And the energy within the ball had still not been fully released!
