Chapter 99: Ninety-nine Mixed Element Qi’s might
"No, this is impossible!"
Upon hearing Ling Wan’s words, Zhao Ningshu appeared contemplative, but his brother Zhao Xingwu next to him couldn’t contain himself and burst out, "You’re just a freak, a freak from birth, that disgusting transformation of yours is the root cause of all the calamities that have befallen our family!"
It seemed Zhao Xingwu utterly refused to acknowledge that the very thing they’d considered a bad omen all along was actually the primary reason for Ling Wan’s substantial increase in strength. This result was something he simply could not accept, no matter what.
"Ling Wan, what you’re saying is really too preposterous. If you say you’ve always been in that special state since birth, why then has your cultivation speed been so slow all these years?" Zhao Ningshu, clearly more composed than his younger brother, pinpointed the crux of the matter.
To tell the truth, Ling Wan wasn’t much younger than the two Zhao brothers, yet his Meridian Qi Cultivation had been progressing slowly. It was precisely because of this fact, combined with his strange transformation, that he was hugely disliked by the Family Head of the Zhao Family, who even wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible to avert disaster for the Zhao Family.
Hearing Zhao Ningshu’s questioning, the sorrow on Ling Wan’s face instantly transformed into gratitude as he responded, "For this, I must thank Brother Yun Xiao. If not for him, I wouldn’t have just failed to make the breakthrough to the Meridian Gathering Realm, I would probably have lost my life too!"
"Damn it, Yun Xiao again, why does this bastard always mess up our plans?"
The mention of that most unwelcome name caused Zhao Xingwu to curse out loud. From their previous few encounters, it seemed the resentment the brothers held towards Yun Xiao was not much less than that of the Cao brothers.
"So you mean to say, you’ve managed to break through three levels in such a short period of time, all because of that freak?" Zhao Ningshu’s initially calm expression suddenly grew much graver.
Considering that the eldest son of the Zhao Family had inquired with a pleasant demeanor and even offered Ling Wan a chance to save his life, all for the sake of learning about the method to improve one’s strength.
