Boom!!!

Ground cracked apart and trees blew away. The air pressure from that single contact was enough to blow everyone in the vicinity away from both of the fighters.

And it wasn’t just that. As hits upon hits collided with each other, more and more shockwaves pushed everyone away. Even Wei Jun, who was significantly stronger than everyone present, and just one rank lower in the realm of cultivation from the two fighters, was swept away in the tempo and had to shield his face from the incoming shockwaves.

Once again, he realized that there was a vast difference between a grandmaster and a master. Wei Jun being a master, could say with certainty that even with all of his tricks, he wouldn’t be a match against a grandmaster.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly who his target was.

Yang Haoran, according to the first volume, was a descendant of the Yang family of the ancient Huanan empire which was known with a different name back then. Whatever the case was, he was strong and incomparable to anyone when it came to yang cultivation. Even to a cultivator with a divine-ranked cultivation technique.

Wei Jun couldn’t glean much from the first volume, but one thing was for sure. He was steadily increasing in strength and at the end of the first volume, his strength was at the par of a grandmaster. Since there were only three volumes, but long ones, of this novel, Wei Jun did consider reading them but for now, he held that thought off.

After all, he couldn’t let the wyverns have everything. He needed something out of this incident as well.

“Block them!” Huan Tang yelled as wyverns attacked them. He could easily defend against the wyverns but it was a different story for the rest of the platoon. They came here, expecting their higher-ups to kill the monsters inside since they were far above their leagues. However, right now, they weren’t so sure if they would survive.

After all, one of the strongest cultivators was fighting against the boss monster while Huan Tang, the second strongest in that dungeon, was currently overwhelmed by the number of wyverns inside.

While they were only left to defend themselves because fighting back was out of the question.

“Captain!” A woman yelled, “Three O’clock!” The Captain turned his head in that direction and saw none other than the man who had walked away from them running at full speed towards them.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Jun was close to the barrier and began to hit it. Unfortunately, unlike the wyverns who could use mana, Wei Jun couldn’t, and with his Qi, he couldn’t make it through the barrier.

“You traitor!!!” The Captain yelled as he began to shoot Wei Jun. Wei Jun’s barrier blocked all the shots without even chipping away one point of Wei Jun’s Qi.

Wei Jun scoffed but remained silent. He was flabbergasted at how hypocritical they could be. They were forcing him to make a decision and if he refused, they were more than happy to let him die. But now that the tables were turned, Wei Jun was suddenly a traitor.

“Tell me how to get through that barrier.” Wei Jun said.

[I canno–]

“Tell me. Now.” Wei Jun said, his expression as cold as ice.

[But ho–]

“Now.”

[I can’t—]

“Now.”

[…]

The system finally gave up and timidly replied…

[Every spell has a link between circles]

[That’s where the spell is the weakest]

[If you target there]

[The whole circle formation should collapse]

Wei Jun didn’t know where that would be so he waited for an extension to the system’s answer which soon sighed and replied…

[Just spread your Qi on the barrier]

[The place where Qi would appear caved in would be your weak spot]

Wei Jun did so and as the system said, as if there was a dent in a car bonnet, the Qi he spread was caved in from one spot. Wei Jun stepped back, he looked at the platoon with a grin. A grin that said a lot.

Then, without hesitation, equipped with ten points of Qi, Wei Jun struck the same spot and just like magic, the barrier shattered like glass.

“What th—” The Captain couldn’t even finish his confusion-filled words when his head went flying. Wei Jun had activated all his skills and as soon as the barrier was out of the way, he ran in, punching and blowing the head of the Captain like a coconut. Only it was messier.

He didn’t stop. He didn’t give anyone in the platoon a chance to do anything. He killed them with speed beyond their level and in just ten seconds, all of them were dead.

Wei Jun didn’t wait for any long talks or even let them feel their own deaths. He was quick and precise and most of all, he was efficient.

The only person left for him was the Brigadier. But first, he checked his gains which made him a little bit disappointed.

[No strength gain]

[Agility +1]

[No stamina gain]

[Qi +8]

Wei Jun gained almost nothing from them. His stats were too high for him to gain anything from those at the lower ranks and he couldn’t even dream of killing higher ranks at the moment. So the only opponent he was confident in defeating was…

“How dare you!!!” The Brigadier yelled as he landed a hit on Wei Jun. Wei Hun, however, raised his arm and blocked the attack with his forearm. His arm went a little numb, but it wasn’t anything serious.

Instead, he delivered a hit of his own straight to the Brigadier’s stomach. The Brigadier managed to stomach the pain and hit Wei Jun in his sheen. Wei Jun felt this one and he felt this one pretty good.

“Agh!!!” Wei Jun let go of the Brigadier with a grunt and stepped back. The Brigadier also clutched his stomach in pain while Wei Jun remained in his spot.

He quickly got into a stance and charged the Brigadier who also swallowed the grunts of pain and got ready to defend as well as counterattack.

Wei Jun threw an upper hook, a lower jab, and a strike to his side which the major managed to block with his forearms over his head. The leg strikes were blocked by his knees as well. The Brigadier remained huddled up to give Wei Jun less opening like in boxing and it was working.

Unfortunately, Wei Jun, even with his experience, couldn’t find an open spot to land one good strike in. He knew he needed to make one but even that wasn’t possible with him defending punches from the Brigadier.

The Brigadier’s technique was a lot like boxing but it wasn’t quite boxing. He could block and counterattack almost instantly like a boxer but he wasn’t as quick as one.

Maybe it was because of his size, but his swiftness didn’t match that of a boxer. However, he was still light on his feet. He would use them to attack whenever he could and assume his posture back.

Wei Jun had to admit, that no matter how many martial techniques he knew, he wouldn’t be able to get through the natural difference in their builds. His long arms covered his upper body while his thick legs covered his lower body. On top of that with his technique, it was impossible to get a hit in unless the other party made a mistake.

And Wei Jun knew just how to make him make that mistake.

Wei Jun took the next hit, which he instantly regretted because it hurt like hell and he fell on his knees.

The Brigadier finally stopped. He stood up straight which was actually quite tall and grabbed Wei Jun by his hair. He straightened his face to look at him and said, “All you had to do was shut up and serve the empire but you couldn’t do that, could you?”

“Hahaha.” Wei Jun chuckled and showed the Brigadier his middle finger which the Brigadier smiled to, grabbed, and snapped it like a piece of celery.

“Argh!!!” Wei Jun grunted and fell to the ground. The Brigadier didn’t give him a chance to do anything and kicked him. And then he did it again. And again. And again. Wei Jun remained huddled up on the ground, his arms protecting his head but what annoyed the Brigadier wasn’t that Wei Jun wasn’t dying so quickly. It was one simple fact…

“Hahahahahahahahahaha.” Wei Jun kept laughing, increasingly with each hit. The Brigadier couldn’t figure out what was going on. Why would he be laughing when he was about to die?

“Shut up!!!!” The Brigadier yelled and picked Wei Jun with both hands and threw him into a tree which fell instantly as Wei Jun rammed into it. He went through many of them until he finally came to a stop a few meters away.

Cough!!! Wei Jun coughed up blood and panted heavily. However, the smile on his face never left and finally, the Brigadier couldn’t take it anymore.

He stood in front of Wei Jun, calm as the word itself, and asked, “What’s so funny?”

“You… You… completely forgot about the… wyverns.” Wei Jun said the last word so low that the Brigadier couldn’t pick it up.

“What?” He asked to which, in response, Wei Jun did one simple thing. He raised his hand and pointed at something with his finger. Something behind the Brigadier.

And as he did, the Brigadier finally felt something behind. Something strong. When he turned around, all he saw were wyverns. About hundreds of wyverns were gathered behind him, eyeing him.

And then…

“Khaaa!!!”
