[You have consumed a Qi replenishing pill]

[No limit detected]

[Time limit lifted]

[Qi has been fully restored]

[Qi empowerment Lv2]

[All stats +25]

Wei Jun immediately felt the difference in stats but he didn’t have the time to revel. Wei Jun hurriedly focused all of his power on his fists just like the two cultivators before him.

His defense was great and all his stats were three times that of the cultivators before him however, Wei Jun wasn’t exhausting all his Qi using the strange phenomena the two cultivators before him were using.

And in the end, they all came in contact. Wei Jun’s fists struck each of the fists of two cultivators and in the blink of an eye, a massive explosion ensued that enveloped everyone in the vicinity. Whether it was the mercenaries, the cultivators, and finally, Wei Jun himself was covered in a massive smokescreen.

The building was now fully gone and the explosion’s force spread to the surroundings, damaging many more buildings as well.

Luckily it was Sunday and the sun was starting to go down so there weren’t many people, if at all in the buildings around Wei Jun’s.

As the dust began to settle, Wei Jun stood where he was however, his condition was anything but good. He bled from each of his orifices and his eyes were bloodshot.

His mind was still conscious but his body was barely holding on. He hurriedly opened the inventory and consumed a healing pill because luckily for him, ten minutes had just barely passed when he consumed the healing pill.

If not, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to take another step, let alone live for a long time with how seriously damaged he was. His internals were screaming when he was struck with the massive potent Qi he had never felt before.

That Qi wasn’t the Qi he had felt before but something else, something different and potent to the point that it seemed like a gel form of Qi, whereas the normal Qi was just simply liquid like Qi.

[I will explain to you later]

[For now, it seems like you have a situation to attend]

As Wei Jun’s condition became better, he could now observe the surroundings a little more clearly. First and foremost, his eyes fell on the two pairs of legs that were all that was left of the cultivators from before.

Then he saw all of the others, well, what was left of others. If cultivators weren’t left with their full bodies, the mortal people wouldn’t be left with anything at all obviously.

All of the events, from beginning to the end must have lasted only fifteen minutes and the explosions began somewhere midway through. The property damage by those explosions alone was worth millions but that wasn’t the main point.

The main point was the simplest of all points, the sound. The noise of those explosions must have alerted the entire city and he stood corrected as he heard the sound of many sirens in the distance. However, before any of them could get close, a figure landed by his side and yelled, “Young master!”

Wei Jun turned to see Lao Chen accompanied by Hui Ying who was also being trained by Lao Chen to obviously fatten her up.

Lao Chen didn’t say anything else and Hui Ying simply glanced around the area to see the destruction. It wasn’t something she was seeing for the first time since she had seen such destruction many times before in the sect but the problem was that the scale of this destruction only happened when a fight between strong and high-level cultivators ensued.

The destruction of this scale wasn’t something possible when low-level cultivators fought.

“Good thing you’re here. Deal with the aftermath.” Wei Jun simply said as he stood back. His clothes were bloody but he couldn’t change using the inventory before both of his spectators. He was already cursing inwardly that Ju Bai Lu had witnessed him using inventory.

He couldn’t do the same in front of these two as well since he didn’t fully trust either of them. Hui Ying was nothing short of a slave and Lao Chen was loyal to Sun Ruan rather than him so he especially couldn’t afford to reveal any cards of his in front of Lao Chen.

It wasn’t long before the sirens closed in and at the forefront, it was none other than detective Zhao Hui. What was a homicide detective, correction, a sergeant doing there was strange. For sure, there were dead bodies around but the cause of the distress was an explosion, not a murder.

“Detective,” Wei Jun didn’t bother to correct the rank of Zhao Hui and said, “It feels like you’ve been following me lately. Have you fallen for me as well?”

Zhao Hui didn’t respond, he was too busy looking around after all. “What… happened here?” He asked, a small pause in between because he couldn’t make anything out of it.

“Some people attacked me, luckily my butler was here to protect me.” Wei Jun said. Wei Jun didn’t want to get involved but it would be inevitable because all clues pointed at who was the one who truly fought.

Zhao Hui also noticed Wei Jun’s state which was miles different from his usual prim and proper state.

“Is that so?” Zhao Hui asked, knowing that Wei Jun was lying but he didn’t have any authority to exercise any control there. Clearly, it looked like a fight between cultivators and the matters belonged to the cultivator’s special forces then. That also meant that Wei Jun was a cultivator and out of his jurisdiction.

Wei Jun knew that too as he smiled and said, “Maybe you should contact the cultivator special forces.”

Zhao Hui’s expression changed a lot but all he could do was follow the protocol. He couldn’t help but remember the words Wei Jun had said to him at Yao Tian’s funeral. He was bound and it was becoming apparent to him at every moment of his life.

Wei Jun smiled at the face Zhao Hui made but didn’t say anything anymore. Instead, he turned to Lao Chen and said, “Contact grandfather. Tell him everything I just said.”

Being a cultivator himself, Lao Chen knew what Wei Jun wanted to do and just nodded. Wei Jun smiled and left the place as he headed to his car.

While walking, he checked his new and improved stats.

[You have defeated an opponent with Qi]

[Stats have been obtained]

[Strength +21]

[Agility +20]

[Stamina +11]

[Defense +30]

[Qi +32]

To say the least, Wei Jun was not happy with his new stat gain. He had gained more when he killed the cultivator mercenary during his trial yet he had killed two of the same rank, and their power was even more polished yet all he received was that, stats even less than then.

But considering his stats were locked, and his stats would be difficult to raise from now on, he could somewhat understand the system that came with the stat absorption.

Wei Jun sighed as he once again lamented the fact that he couldn’t get the biggest bait of tonight but he also understood one thing. His opponent was not prepared during this fight.

Ju Bai Lu had underestimated Wei Jun from the beginning and that was why their preparations for this operation were mediocre. Ju Bai Lu had no treasure, and no weapons on himself, not to mention the first hit that gave Wei Jun a tremendous advantage. Even with all that, if Wei Jun didn’t possess the pills to replenish his health and Qi, he would have died in that battle.

But now, Wei Jun had lost the element of surprise when it came to Ju Bai Lu and possibly all the future comers sent by Liu Yu in the future. Wei Jun had just lost many surprises and with his stats locked, he wasn’t much of a threat to a prepared Ju Bai Lu either.

‘I need to level up.’ Wei Jun thought inwardly.

Since Wei Jun didn’t know how to work on Quan Li and Lin Ruan, that only left him with one option to level up. His last option.

The treasure plundering of the protagonist which raised his power. In the entire novel, there were only three such treasures. Wei Jun had destroyed one while one was in his inventory. The other one and the last one was a cultivation manual that he needed to get his hands on and level up as well.

Wei Jun sighed as he came up with several plans to deal with the situation up ahead. His headache wasn’t just the protagonist but many more problems revolving around him, one of whom was the one he had himself created, his grandfather.
