Chapter 372: Plasma Cannon

A few days had passed since Kong Yusheng’s announcement in the gathering.

The disciples who had stayed with the sect were now busy training themselves with their new techniques.

To maximize their strength, Jing Feng, Shan Zhilan, and the other elders had also taken their time off to conduct a lecture every few hours. 

During the lecture, they would answer any doubts or questions that the disciples had regarding their training.

Of course, Yang Wei was no different as he kept himself busy in the Pagoda.

CLANK!

“Senior Fan Ping, I’ve finished today’s training,” Yang Wei said cheekily while sweat trickled down his forehead.

Fan Ping nodded his head in approval.

“Seems like the 5th Core Formation Realm no longer poses a challenge to you.” Fan Ping said calmly as he flicked his wrist.

Soon, the shadows on the ground vanished from sight. 

“Are we going to increase the difficulty again?” Yang Wei asked.

“Hmm, I was thinking of doing another form of training. Fighting these shadows might be getting a bit too repetitive. Hence, it wouldn’t pose much of a challenge even if I increase their cultivation stage.”

“Then what does Senior Fan Ping suggest?”

Fan Ping rubbed his chin slightly, seemingly pondering what could be great for Yang Wei.

Suddenly, Fan Ping thought of a great person that could train Yang Wei.

With a snap of his finger, Fan Ping brought out a person that had been idling for a long time.

“Xie Dong, you shall now be the sparring partner for Yang Wei,” Fan Ping ordered the moment Xie Dong appeared on the ground.

Xie Dong held a dumbfounded look as he wondered why he was summoned here.

Just a moment ago, he was still absorbing the spiritual qi in the air to cultivate. Yet the next moment, he appeared in some training ground and heard Fan Ping’s orders.

“What do you take me for? A toy that can be dumped aside whenever you want and be summoned whenever you wish?” Xie Dong snorted coldly.

It was a good thing that he wasn’t deep into seclusion. Otherwise, Fan Ping’s action could have caused an immense backlash on his cultivation base.

Fan Ping shrugged his shoulders.

“So what if I disturb your cultivation or not? Don’t forget that the spiritual qi you’re using is provided by me and only me. If I wanted to, I could easily cancel your link with the spiritual qi.” Fan Ping sneered as he reminded him who’s the actual boss here.

Xie Dong could only groan slightly as he transformed into his human form.

Of course, his appearance was still no different than a little kid. 

“What do you want me to do?” Xie Dong asked with much reluctance on his face.

“As I’ve said before, you will be sparring with Yang Wei… meaning you will not hold back your skills and techniques when fighting Yang Wei.” Fan Ping said and pointed at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei was calm as he held onto his Lightbane tightly.

Seeing his fighting stance, Xie Dong could only shake his head.

“You want me to bully him? If I don’t hold back, then Yang Wei will be smothered by me within seconds.” Xie Dong said.

Their cultivation is so vast that even a single finger of his is enough to defeat Yang Wei.

“If you can beat Yang Wei, then I will increase the density of the spiritual qi you can absorb.” Fan Ping said.

Within a few seconds, Xie Dong instantly jumped toward the stage as he showed an excited expression.

“Come on, Yang Wei. Let’s see what you can do!” Xie Dong said confidently as he prepared himself for a fight.

“…”

Yang Wei was rendered speechless by the shamelessness of Xie Dong. As soon as there were some benefits available, he would instantly jump into action without wasting a single second.

“Are we sparring or not?” Xie Dong urged.

“We are, Xie Dong.” Yang Wei said as he held his Lightbane up.

Soon, an intense fight started between Yang Wei and Xie Dong.

However, it was clear that Yang Wei was at a clear disadvantage when Xie Dong easily turned the stage into an ice domain, dominating the stage without a hitch.

Yang Wei could only feel himself getting frostbite as he watched his movement turning slower by the minutes.

It didn’t take long before Xie Dong was able to land a decisive blow at Yang Wei, causing him to crash into some nearby icicle. 

“That should be good enough, right?” Xie Dong asked as he stopped his ice domain.

Yang Wei nodded his head.

He proceeded to get up slowly and wiped off some blood on the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Fan Ping appeared behind Yang Wei as he smiled slightly.

“So how was the experience, Yang Wei?” Fan Ping asked.

“Honestly, it was really a different experience compared to the shadows. Unlike the shadows that would only make the same movement and technique, Xie Dong’s movement is unpredictable.” Yang Wei said.

And he continued, “Especially the Ice domain that was formed by Xie Dong. The cold environment had suppressed my abilities a lot and caused me to meet with setbacks countless times.” 

Fan Ping nodded his head.

“That’s how a real fight is… your opponent will never fight you half-heartedly. The training shall end today, but I’ll have Xie Dong be your sparring partner from now on.”

“That’ll be the best, Senior Fan Ping.”

Afterward, Yang Wei cupped his fist as he bid farewell to them and left the Pagoda.

Meanwhile, Xie Dong twitched his mouth when they all decided for him to be a sparring partner without his consent.

Alas, what can he possibly do?

He had signed a contract with Yang Wei, so there was no point in crying over spilled milk.

Sometime later, Yang Wei reappeared in the real world as he glanced around his surroundings.

“Where did Jing Feng go?” Yang Wei muttered since Jing Feng was nowhere to be found in her courtyard.

Suddenly, Yang Wei’s talisman began blinking brightly as he retrieved it.

“What’s going on, Jing Feng?” Yang Wei asked through the talisman.

“Our Swift Feather Wind Sect is under attack right now. Quickly come out to the main courtyard.” 

Yang Wei was alarmed as he didn’t take another second before dashing out of the courtyard.

Within a few minutes, Yang Wei arrived at the main courtyard where Jing Feng, Shan Zhilan, and the rest were standing by.

“How are we being attacked?” Yang Wei went toward Jing Feng as he asked.

Jing Feng didn’t say anything as she pointed at a large cannon that was floating mid-air.

“I don’t know how Meng Pao managed to obtain one of those cannons, but the situation isn’t looking great for us.” Jing Feng said.

Yang Wei raised an eyebrow as he became dumbfounded by the massive size of the cannon that was pointing at their sect.

“What kind of cannon is that?” Yang Wei asked.

“Plasma Cannon… a type of cannon condensed with spiritual qi and made with special materials that could only be found in the Central Zone.” Jing Feng said in a grave tone.

“Just one Plasma Cannon blast would cost a fortune, and I doubt Meng Pao would have enough wealth to fund such a campaign.” She added.

“That Meng Pao is probably being sponsored by that so-called Envoy from the Central Zone.” Shan Zhilan suddenly said as she sneered at their action.

“If I were to be back home, then I would have slaughtered them all for daring to point a Plasma Cannon at me.” 

“Unfortunately, we’re not in the Central Zone, Shan Zhilan. Right now, the Plasma Cannon is charging up, and if we still don’t do something to stop it, then our Swift Feather Wind Sect will be demolished.” Jing Feng held a solemn gaze at the Plasma Cannon that was emitting a bright blue light. 

Meanwhile, Grand Elder Huo gnashed his teeth in anger.

“How ruthless of you, Meng Pao. Your own daughter is living here yet you can still resort to such a deadly method.” Grand Elder Huo cursed aloud.

“It’s alright, Uncle Huo. I have already given up on my father.” Meng Yan suddenly said with a bittersweet smile. “Only by defeating the current him would my real father come back.” 

Yang Wei nodded his head.

“To bring a blinded man back, we must first show him the reality. He just hadn’t realized it yet.” Yang Wei said as he flashed a wicked smile.

“You are still in the mood to smile?” Jing Feng asked in a dumbfounded tone.

“Why wouldn’t I be? They may have a Plasma Cannon on their side, but I also have a trump card of my own.” Yang Wei laughed.

Ever since he had seen the massive cannon, he had already gone on to inform Fan Ping of his situation.

And it didn’t even take long before Fan Ping figured out an easy solution to his crisis.

Taking a step forward, Yang Wei told everyone in a calm voice, “All we need to do is let the Plasma Cannon blast onto us.”
