Xie Shengyu asked Xie Wei to go back to Grandpa Xie's place. Xie Wei's second uncle had returned from his travels, and Xie Wei needed the old man's approval to take that seat.
Xie Wei drove towards the Xie family compound, and couldn't help but think of his second uncle.
Xie Wei's second uncle is the old man's younger brother. In fact, the second uncle did not initially intend to become the guardian of the Xie family. Perhaps everyone has a passionate love affair when they are young, and the second uncle was no exception.
The other party was from the Domain City, located at the westernmost edge of the Dragon Kingdom. Just when the two were about to get married, the girl took Uncle Lao Er back to their place. Unexpectedly, unrest broke out there. Uncle Lao Er had not yet embarked on this journey and was unable to prevent the unrest from happening.
The girl died protecting her second uncle in his arms, and her parents also perished in the turmoil. When the Xie family brought her back, she was holding the girl in her arms, begging the old man's grandfather to allow her to be buried in the Xie family's burial grounds.
In the end, the old man's grandfather, mindful of the second uncle's deep affection, agreed. After the second uncle settled everything, he locked himself in the Xie family home to cultivate and never went out again.
When the second uncle appeared in the eyes of the world, he was recognized as the next guardian of the Xie family with his mid-stage innate cultivation.
Time had passed without Xie Wei noticing, and he estimated that he had reached the Entry-level realm.
However, after that, no woman appeared in his life again. It seemed that he had made up his mind to be alone, which troubled Grandpa Xie a lot. But seeing his younger brother's sincerity, the old man did not say anything.
Xie Wei's impression of his second uncle was that he doted on them, the younger generation, and always had a kind face even when they were being silly. He would not get angry and would even take their side. He would always agree to any request with a smile.
Thinking of this, Xie Wei's tense heart finally relaxed a little.
Upon arriving at the Xie family's main hall, one sees three elderly people drinking tea, chatting and laughing about something.
Upon seeing Xie Wei arrive, the old man put down his teacup and said, "Well, speak of the devil and he appears."
Xie Wei bowed and greeted, "Grandpa, Grandma, Second Uncle."
"Hey, Third Brother, long time no see!" The Second Uncle spoke in a loud voice, his wrinkles were not deep, and his laughter was hearty.
"Long time no see," Xie Wei smiled, still holding this guardian of the Xie family in high esteem.
"Late-stage Innate Realm? Not bad, not bad. I was only at the mid-stage Innate Realm when I was recognized as the next Guardian of the Dao. You're stronger than me."
"You're shortening my lifespan," Xie Wei said with a modest smile.
"You are neither arrogant nor impatient, and your temperament is truly admirable. Third son, you are indeed worthy of the title," the second uncle said, taking a sip of tea, his words full of praise for Xie Wei.
Xie Wei knew there was more to come, so he remained silent.
Xie Wei's actions surprised his second uncle, who remarked, "You're still just as unlovable as you were when you were a child."
"If you can withstand three moves from me, you will be the next Guardian of the Way."
"Thank you for your help, Second Uncle."
Upon arriving at the training ground, Xie Wei spoke with such ease, yet his heart pounded wildly, and his entire body felt numb. Xie Wei knew that being tense would be useless in this situation, so he composed himself, grabbed a gun from the side, and went onto the training platform.
The second uncle, standing on the stage, saw Xie Wei adjusting his breathing, and smiled with admiration in his eyes.
Standing on the training platform, the second uncle's eyes changed from lazy to serious as he looked at Xie Wei, who was very focused.
"Third lad, here comes your first move."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second uncle casually unleashed a gust of wind with his fist, which cracked the ground as it passed, heading straight for Xie Wei.
Even a casual strike from a powerful expert could instill fear in Xie Wei. He bit his tongue to quickly regain his senses, then swung his gun and used "Illusory Star" to defend himself.
When Xie Wei weakened the force of his punch, the gun could not withstand the power of the "Illusory Star" technique and broke. Fortunately, Xie Wei reacted in time, condensing his spiritual energy in his right hand and unleashing it. Xie Wei took a few steps back before he could barely withstand the force of the punch.
'If it weren't for the reduction in power of "Phantom Star" earlier, I would probably have lost my right hand if I had faced this punch head-on.' Xie Wei felt his right hand go numb and truly felt the terror of the difference in their cultivation levels.
Before Xie Wei could react to the "second move," the other side spoke again.
The second uncle raised his hand and used his spiritual energy to envelop the pebbles on the ground, causing them to float and fly towards Xie Wei at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"Oh no!" Xie Wei desperately tried to dodge, but the pebbles seemed to have eyes and kept chasing him.
Just as a pebble was about to hit Xie Wei, he reacted quickly, bracing himself with one hand, turning his body upside down, and flipping to the side to barely avoid it.
What happened next made Xie Wei, who was still dodging, feel a little scared. The stone hit the platform directly, and the ground on the platform was instantly blasted into a hole.
The already crumbling training ground suffered further damage.
Dust billowed up instantly, and only a faint glimpse could be seen of Xie Wei still dodging. Unable to dodge, he could only use the mental power at his fingertips to create threads that detonated the pebbles.
This method is good, but it consumes a lot of mental energy, and the power of the explosion will also impact Xie Wei's mental energy.
By this time, Xie Wei's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, he was panting heavily, and his clothes were somewhat tattered.
Blood began to seep from some parts of Xie Wei's body, indicating that he had suffered considerable injuries while trying to escape.
If Xie Wei hadn't cultivated his physical body to the extreme through the practice of "Chaos," he wouldn't know if he could have withstood this blow.
Seeing Xie Wei's eyes filled with fighting spirit, the second uncle was also surprised for a moment, his admiration deepened, and he silently released his pressure towards Xie Wei.
