Zhao Kui's aura did indeed surge significantly, allowing him to break through from the late stage of the Innate Realm to the Breakthrough Realm, reaching the early stage of the Breakthrough Realm in one fell swoop.
Xie Wei stood by and watched intently until the other's aura stopped rising, then he looked away.
Feeling the immense spiritual power within him, Zhao Kui wanted to see Xie Wei's surprised expression, but all he got in return was Xie Wei's calm and composed demeanor.
Zhao Kui, overwhelmed by the sudden surge of strength, recklessly charged at Xie Wei, shouting, "Xie Wei, you deserve to die!"
Zhao Kui practiced another unique skill of the Zhao family, which mainly focused on palm techniques and the use of weapons.
In this generation of the Zhao family, only Zhao Yujin has learned "Beast Play". Perhaps her uncles thought she couldn't learn it and only gave her this one martial art.
What they didn't expect was that Zhao Yujin not only learned "Beast Play," but also used it with great skill.
Zhao Kui attacked with a palm strike, and Xie Wei countered with a palm strike of his own. However, Xie Wei did not use any martial arts techniques; he simply enveloped his palm with spiritual energy and struck out.
Martial arts are called martial arts because they allow users to better control their spiritual energy, know which part of the body is the main point of force, and know when to exert force during combat, thus maximizing the power of an ordinary palm strike.
Xie Wei believes that the more powerful the move, the simpler it is. It may just be a simple punch or a simple palm strike. It is not that complicated. Simplifying complexity is the highest form of martial arts.
In the end, he and Zhao Kui each took a few steps back, resulting in a draw.
"My strength is too weak, and my spiritual energy is dissipating too quickly," Xie Wei muttered to himself, looking at his palm.
Seeing that he had fought Xie Wei to a draw with the early stage of the Breaking Mortal Realm, Zhao Kui became arrogant and thought he was invincible. He then launched several palm strikes at Xie Wei.
"Your death is near, Xie Wei!"
Seeing that the other party was so impatient to make a move, Xie Wei did not panic and slightly raised his stance.
With a quick "Wild Horse Parts Mane" move, she dodged all of Zhao Kui's attacks, then with a slight exertion of the back of her hand, she sent Zhao Kui flying.
Having just broken through to the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, my control over strength and spiritual power is not yet very good, and I used too much force again.
The wall of the courtyard on the left had already been damaged considerably due to the battle between Zhao Yujin and Kawashima. Zhao Kui's collision caused the outer wall to collapse, turning it into a pile of ruins and trapping Zhao Kui inside.
Xie Wei waited for a while, and seeing that the other party no longer made any move, he thought that it was over.
Somewhat boring.
Just as Xie Wei was about to turn around and walk away, he heard a loud bang behind him.
Xie Wei quickly turned around and saw a solid rock just centimeters away from his eyeball.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Zhao Kui had escaped from the ruins and was attacking Xie Wei with a rather sharp stone in his hand.
"Calm down!" Xie Wei spoke softly, and countless lines of spiritual energy appeared around him, trying to bind Zhao Kui's limbs.
Zhao Kui reacted extremely quickly. As soon as Xie Wei's spiritual power appeared, he abandoned the stone, spun around, and used his spiritual power to defend himself while dodging.
'It seems that this [medicine] 2.0 also has the effect of improving reaction ability,' Xie Wei thought to himself as he watched Zhao Kui's actions.
Xie Wei estimated that Zhao Kui, who emerged from the ruins, was only one step away from the mid-stage of the Breaking Mortal Realm.
Unfortunately, that's not enough; it just makes them a little more durable.
[Medicine] 2.0, is that all?
However, it could also be a human issue.
Xie Wei summoned his spirit sword; he had obtained the data he wanted, and now it was time to take Zhao Kui's life.
With a raised left hand, spiritual energy gathered in her palm. With a wave of her small hand, the spiritual energy transformed into the shape of a sword. She gripped the hilt and swung it.
"Breaking Army!"
Zhao Kui could clearly feel the intense killing intent in Xie Wei's attack, and he couldn't resist this move.
At the same time, he realized that everything that had just happened was really nothing to him, and he didn't care at all!
He was unwilling to accept it; he was truly unwilling to accept it.
Do you crave power?
An ominous voice echoed in Zhao Kui's mind.
"I need power, I need immense power!" Zhao Kui had reached a point of madness.
The sound stopped, but Zhao Kui felt his body getting hotter and hotter, as if something inside him was about to come out.
Just as the sword was about to strike Zhao Kui, a powerful spiritual force erupted from Zhao Kui's body, engulfing the sword's momentum like a flood.
"Ah! Roar!" Zhao Kui suddenly shouted. The voice was very deep and deep, not like a human voice, but more like the roar of some kind of wild beast.
Zhao Kui's rationality was completely stripped away; jealousy and anger filled his mind, and he needed more power!
His body began to change. First, the skin on his left hand was stretched open and his nails grew longer. Then came his left foot, then his right hand and right foot, his entire body, and finally his hair began to grow wildly. The spiritual energy made his eyeballs bulge out, and the whites of his eyes turned completely red, with blue blood vessels clearly visible around them.
In just a moment, Zhao Kui transformed into a monster that defies description.
Xie Wei felt nauseous at the sight of the monster in front of him. It wasn't a matter of appearance; Zhao Kui's current appearance was simply unique.
This feeling came from the bottom of his heart; the spiritual energy within him repelled Zhao Kui and the purplish-black spiritual energy that was wrapped around him.
It feels somewhat similar to the last time I smelled the medicine, but the feeling wasn't as strong then.
"Xie Wei!" A rough, beast-like voice called out Xie Wei's name, filled with boundless hatred. Zhao Kui's strength had now broken through to the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm.
