Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 24: The First Test (2)

*Booom*

“You can run but you can’t hide Yang Wei. If that’s all you got then I’m going to be really disappointed.” Old Ling said as he swung his sword toward Yang Wei, creating a wave of true qi.

Yang Wei hurriedly raised his sword up to block the strike but as usual, he was knocked back.

Yang Wei crashed into the ground, creating much dust that covered his figure but his coughing could be heard.

Old Ling shakes his head when Yang Wei couldn’t handle his strike any longer.

‘Seems like my playtime is over with this strike.’ Old Ling said inwardly as he prepared to swing his sword again to finish the fight.

Once the dust scattered from the ground, Old Ling was shocked to see Yang Wei was not down on the ground.

“Seems like you really want to play hide n seek with me.” Old Ling laughed as he swung his sword in every direction.

*Boom*

Everywhere was struck with his sword but no reaction came out. Old Ling was confused to know where Yang Wei is hiding to be able to dodge all those strikes.

Since he limited his cultivation to the 4th stage Qi Condensation, he couldn’t cheat and use his spiritual sense to detect the ground since it requires a much higher cultivation base.

“Interesting little moves,” Old Ling said as he expected Yang Wei to be hiding underground as he waits for him to pop up.

That was the only scenario where Yang Wei could dodge all of his strikes that will deal a lot of damage to his body.

Otherwise, if Yang Wei tried to use the dust as cover and dodge his strike then he could easily detect that tiny movement.

But there was no change of movement underground which means Yang Wei did not move at all. A pondering expression came from Old Ling as he became cautious in his last bit of tactic to try and get an upper hand.

*Swoosh*

“Over here huh,” Old Ling laughs as he turns around and strikes with all his power.

His sword managed to slice it in halves which caused Old Ling to be surprised since a spiritual treasure would not destroy this easily.

“Not good.” Old Ling exclaimed when he saw the object he sliced in half was just the sheath for Yang Wei’s sword.

When he realized he fell for this trick, Yang Wei was behind him using his thirteen sword slash technique in his last bit of effort.

‘Heh, you noticed it too late, senior Ling.’ Yang Wei sneered in his mind when he caught him off-guard.

“The first slash,” Yang Wei shouted as he swung with all his might in this final slash.

*Swooooosh*

The slash came at Old Ling in a fast manner where true qi is erupting out of it, and once it made contact, the explosive power from it is enough to heavily injure a cultivator.

A powerful aura from the slash was about to hit Old Ling as he became serious when he noticed the danger behind this strike.

“Wind Slashing Style,” Old Ling mumbled something as he waved his sword to block the first slash from Yang Wei.

*Boooooooooom*

A loud explosion occurred, causing the barrier that Old Ling cast to be destroyed and some precious herb became ruined.

“Yang Wei,” Elder Jing screamed in panic when she saw this scene occurred.

A worried expression appeared on her face as she went over to the fight to look for Yang Wei.

Scattering the dust away as she waved her hands to stop it from blocking her vision, Elder Jing slowly found Yang Wei coughing some blood in the ground.

Elder Jing hurriedly walked over and fed him a recovery pill before being angry.

“Are you dumb? Do you know that your body passed out the last time you tried to use the thirteen sword slash technique? I forbid you from using it until you achieve a higher cultivation base.” Elder Jing reprimands Yang Wei heavily when she sees how reckless he became.

Yang Wei gave an awkward laugh in reply to Elder Jing’s words since it was her who gave the technique to him in the first place.

However, Yang Wei didn’t dare to say that aloud and kept silent to let her vent on him.

‘I shouldn’t have given him this technique.’ Elder Jing cursed inwardly as she blames herself for giving him this kind of technique.

Yang Wei got up slowly after the pill started to come into effect while looking for Old Ling.

“I doubt Senior Ling can come out unharmed from that technique right.” Yang Wei said as he hoped his last effort worked.

Although that final slash didn’t cause him injuries, the previous slash that Old Ling did when he tried to locate him landed on him.

Yang Wei was walking slowly to not make any movement and tanking the slash without any defenses.

The impact of Old Ling’s strike was extremely painful but Yang Wei simply gritted his teeth to get closer to him as he used his sheathe as bait to distract him.

“Haha, to think I actually fell for some third-rate trick.” Old Ling slowly flew out from the dust as he looked at Yang Wei and Elder Jing.

He appeared unharmed and not even a tiny bit of scratch was visible.

Yang Wei sighs in disappointment as he is believed to have failed the first test already.

Before Yang Wei can start to become depressed, Old Ling announced something unexpectedly.

“The first test, Yang Wei passed.” Old Ling said while hiding the fact that he only appeared now to recover the slight scar he received from Yang Wei.

‘If others were to know that a 4th stage Qi Condensation was able to make a scratch on me who is a 6th stage Xiantian realm then I’ll have no more dignity.’

Old Ling said inwardly while stroking his beard to appear magnanimous.

Yang Wei didn’t know he managed to land a hit but gladly cupped his fist and gave his thanks.

There was no way he would refuse a passing score when he needed Old Ling’s help to connect a detoxifying pill for Elder Jing.

“Thank you Senior Ling for going easy on this junior.” Yang Wei said to bootlick him while he became a bit wiggle from the aftermath of the fight.

Elder Jing has to extend her hand to help restabilize Yang Wei to stand up properly.

“Don’t try to act cool when you’re weak.” Elder Jing said to Yang Wei while she was shocked inside.

‘What a scary person Yang Wei is to be able to land a hit on him when I don’t even have the confidence to damage him.’ Elder Jing sighs at his talent.
