"What?!" Hearing the Thunder Pig's explanation, Wei Zhao was both astonished and delighted. The ninth stance of the Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm—a technique capable of instantly slaying even Heaven-rank experts! He himself had only just managed to unleash it once, yet the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast could actually unleash it two or three times? What did that even mean? It meant that even if Wei Zhao faced a siege by three or even four skilled fighters below the peak of mid Heaven-rank, he could handle them! Of course, he did not know whether he would hold the advantage against a late Heaven-rank expert, but surely even a late Heaven-rank expert would suffer grave injuries from four heavy blows, no? "So right now, can you unleash it with complete mastery?" Wei Zhao asked hastily. "Roar, roar—" The Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast shook its head. "Squeak, squeak!" the Thunder Pig translated: "Little Wind says it cannot bring out the full power of the martial technique—only about seventy or eighty percent. It should be enough to annihilate a skilled mid Heaven-rank fighter, but against one at the peak of mid Heaven-rank, it would find itself outmatched." "No matter—then just practice more!" Though somewhat disappointed, Wei Zhao felt far more delight, for if his spirit beast could unleash martial techniques, he could carry out his missions and earn money with far greater peace of mind. With the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast at home, it was as though Wei Zhao himself were guarding the place; even if Heaven-rank experts came, he would not fear them. At last, only the Majestic General remained. After Wei Zhao upgraded the Majestic General into a high dog of peak late Earth-rank strength, the sky was gradually brightening. The night's busy work had yielded a rich harvest, though what disappointed Wei Zhao was that neither the Thunder Pig nor the Majestic General possessed any martial techniques. That the Majestic General had none was within his expectations—after all, it was not a true spirit beast but a pseudo-spirit beast forcibly upgraded and remodeled by Wei Zhao. Yet the Thunder Pig, a spirit beast with a treasure-seeking function, also had no martial techniques, and Wei Zhao truly could not tell what use its every upgrade served. Could it be that its treasure-seeking ability grew stronger each time? In the morning, Wei Zhao prepared an exceedingly sumptuous breakfast—a farewell feast before his departure, shared with Yaoyao, Little Shu, and all his underlings. "After I leave, Qitan and Chentian can stay here; the rest of you may all go back!" Wei Zhao said to those seated: "You each have your own affairs. Come again when there is need—no rush." Everyone nodded, for what Wei Zhao said was the truth. Now that Wei Zhao had no troubles, all those petty clowns had gone into hiding. So long as Wei Zhao's strength remained, no matter how far he roamed to the ends of the earth, nothing major would happen at home—at least, the hidden factions would not dare make trouble. "Jingyi. If you have nothing pressing, go keep Uncle Qing company. Since you were reunited with him, you haven't spent any time with him—you've only stayed at the villa with me." Wei Zhao turned to look at Sun Jingyan, who had been living at the villa all this time; because of Uncle Qing, Gu Mengyao was not at all hostile toward Sun Jingyan, and had even prepared a room for her upstairs. "Mm. But I must go home first." Sun Jingyan said: "According to the Sun family's rules, after a Sun family member heals someone, they must return to the ancestral hall and register it in the genealogy. Barring any mishap, that person will become the Sun family member's other half..." Here Sun Jingyan blushed, and she stole a careful glance toward the young miss; seeing no particular expression on the young miss's face, she breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback—he had not expected the Sun family to have such a rule—but he quickly said: "Jingyi
