After bidding farewell to Xia Hou, Xu Wendong walked toward the Back Mountain Bamboo Forest.
But just at that mont.
Xia An’an suddenly appeared in front of Xu Wendong, blocking his way. Her face carried a trace of inexplicable tension and curiosity: "What did my father want from you?"
Xu Wendong smiled: "The Sect Master plans to make the Consort Prince of the Elixir Sect."
"Ah?" Xia An’an was taken aback, clearly not expecting her father to be so straightforward. This caught her off guard, and a blush quickly rose on her face.
"How... how did you respond?" Xia An’an’s lively eyes revealed unease, and her heart was uncontrollably racing.
Xu Wendong shrugged: "I have no objections, but your father disagrees!"
"My father disagrees?" Xia An’an was full of bewildernt. Since it was her father who proposed the marriage to Xu Wendong, why would he refuse for them to be together?
She felt that Xu Wendong’s words were greatly contradictory before and after.
Seeing Xu Wendong move toward the Back Mountain, she hesitated for a mont, then walked toward the cave where her father was cultivating and saw him inside.
"Father, Junior Brother Xu said you proposed marriage to him earlier?" Xia An’an asked her father urgently.
Seeing his daughter in such a hurry, Xia Hou sighed helplessly. He gestured for his daughter to sit down first and then said: "Indeed, I had this thought, but..."
"The fact proves Xu Wendong is not your suitable match."
Xia An’an was full of confusion: "Why?"
Xia Hou replied: "Because he admitted with his own mouth that he has over twenty confidants in the mundane world."
"What?" Xia An’an was shocked, clearly not expecting Xu Wendong’s romantic history to be so astounding!
"He probably wasn’t lying about this." Xia Hou forced a smile and said: "Girl, I know Xu Wendong is also very exceptional, but he’s just a complete scoundrel, not a suitable match for you."
Looking at her daughter’s utterly deflated expression, Xia Hou added: "Soon there will be the grand event of the Four Great Sects’ competition, when the young heroes of Qingzhou will participate. I will help you find a fated match that belongs only to you!"
------
anwhile.
After returning to the Erald Bamboo Forest, Xu Wendong couldn’t calm down to cultivate the two spells he had just received, because his heart wasn’t really in the Elixir Sect.
It was with Bai Jie.
After all, Bai Jie is undergoing her tribulation today, and he doesn’t know if she can successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation.
If Bai Jie can successfully pass the tribulation, he will surely win her over, and Bai Jie will return the Magic Artifact he lent her.
On the contrary, if Bai Jie fails the tribulation, he will have nothing.
"Did the Sect Master reward you with spells?"
Wuming walked out slowly in the Erald Bamboo Forest, wearing a gray linen robe.
"Master, your insight is truly like a torch; nothing escapes you!" Xu Wendong smiled and flattered.
Wuming was proudly looking: "That youngster grew up under my watch; how could I not know his nature? If I’m not mistaken, he should have given you two spells."
Xu Wendong asked: "Do you know which two spells your disciple chose?"
Wuming shook his head: "As long as they’re not the Gravity Technique and True Phoenix Mantra, any of the remaining three spells are fine."
"..." Xu Wendong was totally perplexed.
Wuming furrowed his brows: "You wouldn’t have chosen the Gravity Technique and True Phoenix Mantra, right?"
"Hmm!" Xu Wendong showed an embarrassed but polite smile.
Wuming shook his head helplessly: "You really have no clue about your positioning!"
"You have to rember, your greatest strength is offense. If that’s your strength, then you should pick offensive spells and slay the enemy in one go."
"The Gravity Technique, however, is a supportive spell, not suited to your fighting style."
"As for the True Phoenix Mantra, that spell has been passed down for countless years, and no one has succeeded in cultivation yet."
Xu Wendong offered a different opinion: "Master, I feel that the Gravity Technique is the strongest offensive spell."
Wuming: "I don’t deny that the Gravity Technique, when cultivated to a certain degree, can cover an area of tens of kiloters and also plays a vital supportive role, but it’s definitely not an offensive spell!"
"Throughout history, many powerful figures from the Elixir Sect have honed the Gravity Technique to its peak, yet haven’t discovered it to be an offensive spell."
Xu Wendong casually waved his hand, and the thick pillar next to him toppled over. He cut a bamboo pole asuring over a ter long and said: "Master, if your disciple pokes you with this bamboo pole, would it hurt?"
Wuming laughed: "What do you think?"
Xu Wendong sharpened the top of the bamboo pole and looked at Wuming: "Now, if your disciple pokes you with this, would it hurt?"
Boom!
A simple exchange instantly gave Wuming a deafening realization: "Are you suggesting focusing the Gravity Technique on a tiny, tiny spot?"
Xu Wendong countered: "Is there any problem with that?"
"No... but..." Wuming was bewildered as he looked at Xu Wendong, his eyes filled with confusion: "Throughout history, all the Elixir Sect predecessors aid to extend the domain of the Gravity Technique. Why would you think of focusing it on a single point?"
"What’s inside your head? How could you co up with such a thod?"
Xu Wendong jovially asked: "Just tell , does your disciple’s thod have any effect?"
Wuming remained silent.
He flicked his mind, and his entire person flew hundreds of ters away, then deployed the Gravity Technique, centering on him, covering an area over two hundred ters.
Pfft!
The mont Wuming deployed the Gravity Technique, everything within its coverage, all plants and stones, instantly turned to powder.
Xu Wendong stood from afar, clearly seeing the ti-space of the area distort.
Though he didn’t know how strong the gravity was, he had a premonition that if he stepped into that area, he would likely be instantly disintegrated into a blood mist.
In the next mont.
Xu Wendong saw the coverage area of the Gravity Technique slowly shrink.
As it shrunk, the ground gradually began sinking.
That was because the earth couldn’t withstand the Gravity Technique.
However.
Wuming’s expression turned extrely grave.
For him, deploying the Gravity Technique was easy, but when attempting to shrink its coverage area, it beca incredibly strenuous.
As ti passed by, when the Gravity Technique was compressed to over a hundred square ters, Wuming showed a look of pain.
He pinched the spell with both hands, striving to continue reducing the Gravity Technique’s coverage area.
But as he spat a mouthful of fresh blood, the Gravity Technique vanished instantly.
"Master, are you alright?" Xu Wendong exclaid, feeling the intensity of Wuming’s severely weakened vital energy.
Wuming shook his head helplessly: "Your previous suggestion was excellent. If the Gravity Technique could be focused on a single point, its power would undoubtedly be terrifying. But this action is simply too difficult, almost as if climbing to heaven. Among the heavens, how many can achieve such deft control?"
