Chapter 133: Ma Wei Breaks Through
Yunhai Zong
Outside the gate of the sect, in the courtyard, a rough man sat cross-legged on the ground.
The clothes on his body moved without wind, his whole momentum condensed, and he rose step by step. At this moment, it seemed to have reached a critical point.
From his aura, one could clearly sense the rugged man's cultivation, which was precisely at the peak of the 9th layer of Qi Wu Realm, only half a step away from Xuan Wu Realm.
Finally, after a brief pause, the atmosphere suddenly rose to a new height, and a series of slapping sounds echoed through the air. The rough man's clothes were torn open in several places, revealing his sturdy muscles. The rough man opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashed across, and he let out a heavy sigh.
"Congratulations to Master Ma Wei for breaking through the Xuanwu Realm!"
At this time, a young man who was originally standing farther away walked over and bowed his hands in congratulations to the rough-looking man.
This rough man was none other than Ma Wei, who had agreed to a duel with Qin Yong on the arena in one month. Originally, he was only at the 9th level of Qi Wu Realm and was considered a top figure among the outer door disciples, but since there were also Xuan Wu Realm cultivators among them, he wasn't particularly strong. At this time, with less than ten days left until their duel, Ma Wei suddenly broke through to Xuan Wu Realm. Originally, Ma Wei was only one of the top three figures in Qi Wu Realm among the outer door disciples, but now that he had broken through to Xuan Wu Realm, his strength immediately surpassed all the Qi Wu Realm outer door disciples.
"Senior Brother Pei Yu is being polite, if it wasn't for the Xuanwu Dan that Senior Brother Pei Yu delivered, even if I wanted to break through to the Xuanwu realm, it would take at least a year." Ma Wei put away his usual arrogant personality and spoke very politely to the young man in front of him, with a hint of reverence in his tone.
Pei Yu, a seven-layer cultivator of the Xuanwu Realm, is considered to be in the middle tier among the inner disciples. To outer disciples, he is indeed someone they look up to, but not enough to make Ma Wei so reserved. The reason for this behavior lies with the person behind Pei Yu - Yuan Tian Gang, one of the three great geniuses of the inner sect, along with Li Xuan and Liu Yan.
Although Pei Yu is an inner disciple, he is also a follower of Yuan Tian Gang. In terms of cultivation, Pei Yu is not inferior to Yuan Tian Gang, but Yuan Tian Gang is one of the few talents like Liu Yan who can rank among the top three in the inner door from the many eighth and ninth layers of the Xuanwu realm. With similar cultivation, their actual strength differs greatly, and their future achievements are incomparable. It is precisely because of this that Pei Yu became a follower of Yuan Tian Gang.
At this time, Pei Yu appeared here, not by chance, but to deliver the Xuanwu Dan to Ma Wei. Ma Wei was able to break through the Xuanwu realm precisely because of the Xuanwu Dan. The Xuanwu Dan, which could only be obtained with 30,000 contribution points, was a priceless item for any outer sect disciple.
The Xuanwu Pill is only useful for the 9th level of Qi Wu Realm, and it's almost impossible to accumulate 30,000 contribution points during that time. However, for inner sect disciples, especially those like Yu Tian Gang, accumulating 30,000 contribution points is just a matter of spending some time. The Xuanwu Pill is useless to them, but they can use it as a gift for Qi Wu Realm cultivators.
Generally, it would be given to a certain person in the family, but Yuan Tian Gang handed it over to Pei Yu, letting him give it to Ma Wei to help Ma Wei break through the Xuanwu realm. This was not because Yuan Tian Gang valued Ma Wei; in fact, many of the inner sect disciples were Yuan Tian Gang's subordinates, and compared to them, Ma Wei was nothing special.
Everything originated from Qin Yong. At the beginning, when Yuan Tian saw Qin Yong enter Liu Yan's private residence, he became very unhappy and hated Qin Yong for it. Although Yuan Tian didn't believe that Liu Yan would take a liking to Qin Yong, having already treated Liu Yan as a forbidden zone, Yuan Tian was extremely disgusted by Qin Yong's actions of getting close to her.
Yuan Tiangang initially disdained to take action against Qin Yong, but didn't think he would let him off easily. As a result, Qin Yong and Ma Wei made an appointment for a month later to have a battle on the arena, which reached Yuan Tiangang's ears, so naturally, Yuan Tiangang began to take action.
Originally, Yuantian Gang thought that dealing with Qin Yong, who had just become an outer door disciple, shouldn't be difficult. However, after hearing that Qin Yong could hold his own against Ma Wei for a while, even though Ma Wei still had some tricks up his sleeve and hadn't used them yet, which would surely guarantee his victory, Yuantian Gang was still uneasy, so he took action.
Xuanwu Dan can help Ma Wei break through the Xuanwu boundary, at that time, just relying on his cultivation is enough to suppress Qin Yong, and with Ma Wei still having a trump card, he has completely secured victory. This is what Yuan Tiangang had planned, what he wants is not almost, but definitely win.
"This isn't something I gave you, I was just following Tian Gang Shixiong's instructions." Pei Yu said shaking his head.
"Yes, please trouble Senior Brother Pei Yu to pass on my thanks, and thank you, Senior Brother Tian Gang, for your guidance. At the same time, I must also thank Senior Brother Pei Yu." Ma Wei still didn't dare to be even slightly negligent, and once again began to express his gratitude.
"I'll remember and pass it on to Tian Gang Shixiong for you, but I also hope you can remember Tian Gang Shixiong's words." Pei Yu said with a smile.
"I remembered, even if Tian Gang Shixiong didn't say it, I definitely wouldn't let Qin Yong off the hook. This time in the final battle, no matter what, I will take him down with my own hands and feet!" Ma Wei coldly laughed and said.
This was the condition under which Yuan Tian gave the Xuanwu Dan to Ma Wei, that he must heavily defeat Qin Yong in the arena and disable one of his hands and feet. This way, not only would it leave a shadow on Qin Yong, but also leave him with a scar, which even after recovery would still affect him. Only this way could give Qin Yong the greatest lesson and vent this breath of resentment.
Yu Tian Gang had never been a magnanimous person, Qin Yong was not qualified to make him take action personally, and even his inner door disciples were not allowed to take action. Firstly, it was indeed the case that doing so would be too high an estimation of Qin Yong's abilities, secondly, he also did not want to provoke Liu Yan's displeasure, therefore he chose Ma Wei who had already made a promise with Qin Yong for a decisive battle.
"Alright, I hope you won't disappoint Tian Gang Shixiong when the time comes." Pei Yu smiled and nodded, pausing for a moment before continuing: "As for Liu Yan Shijie, you can also rest assured. I'm still familiar with Liu Yan Shijie's personality. Even if Qin Yong is indeed Liu Yan Shijie's follower disciple, your battle with Qin Yong will be an official one. Even if things get a bit out of hand, she won't make things difficult for you. And even if Liu Yan Shijie gets a bit unhappy, Tian Gang Shixiong will help you."
Ma Wei nodded slightly, he had heard a lot about Liu Yan's temperament, and since she dared to take action against Qin Yong in front of him, he had already guessed the situation. Therefore, he didn't feel that it was inappropriate, but rather what Pei Yu said earlier made Ma Wei somewhat concerned, he smiled and said: "Pei Yu brother, don't worry, Qin Yong only has some small tricks, even if I was still in the Qi Wu realm 9th level, I would have been able to defeat him. Now that I've broken through to the Xuan Wu realm 1st level, even Liu Long wouldn't be my match. No matter how many tricks Qin Yong has, he won't be able to use them in front of absolute strength, and my fierce tiger knife technique will become even more terrifying after breaking through the Xuan Wu realm."
