Chapter 2335 — Back to School

Of course, once Pi Zhitao's inner-school rank also reached peak early Earth-rank, it would be clear whether there truly was no limit. If by then Pi Zhitao could still cultivate his inner school, that would prove the flaw in Wei Zhao's upgrades did not apply to experts accomplished in both schools. If Pi Zhitao could not continue in the inner school and could only go on with the outer, that would mean the flaw still existed—only that such dual-school experts were special, and the barrier of that flaw was set at the highest point of strength they had attained.
Yet even if the flaw remained, so long as his outer-school strength could keep rising, his inner-school strength would rise along with it! That was still a great advantage over ordinary inner-school experts.
"Can you keep breaking through?" Wei Zhao asked, looking at Pi Zhitao.
"No. Just now it was a burst of stored force, and it broke through naturally. But another breakthrough—no." Pi Zhitao smiled wryly. "Boss, the inner-school strength you fed me was exactly peak late Profound-rank, complete and round—a hair short of the next level. That is why I could break through. But now I have not even consolidated early Earth-rank inner strength. How could I possibly break through again?"
Wei Zhao nodded. This, though, made things much more normal—otherwise Wei Zhao would have taken Pi Zhitao, this martial fanatic, for some freak prodigy! Even so, Pi Zhitao was still far stronger than the rest.
Pi Zhifeng's strength had not yet been fully raised. By the time Gu Mengyao and the others were due out of school, Wei Zhao had just brought Pi Zhifeng's strength to peak early Profound-rank. But Wei Zhao was in no hurry; he simply stopped and would continue that evening.
Wei Zhao's method of upgrading did not insist on finishing in one breath. So long as one's strength was below Wei Zhao's, one could go on being upgraded at any rank and at any time, with no limit on time or number of sessions. So Wei Zhao simply paused: "I'll go pick up the eldest miss from school first. We'll continue tonight."
"All right." Pi Zhifeng nodded readily enough.
Pi Zhitao and Wu Chengtian, though, volunteered: "Boss, shall we come along to fetch them?"
"No need. The car won't fit that many anyway. If there's danger, I can handle it myself. You two rest for now." Wei Zhao had no need of them at all now. If he met an opponent—so long as it was not a Heaven-rank expert—he was confident he could fight or hold his own for a while; and if it was a weakling like the Third Boss, killing him outright would be no surprise.
Since Wei Zhao had said so, they naturally did not press further. Wei Zhao drove off alone in his Grand Cherokee to the parking lot of Donghai Engineering University and waited.
When Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu came out of school, they came to the parking lot with Han Xiaochao—but they did not see that familiar BMW X5M...
