My husband Can Cultivate

"You brat, those were your words. Don’t you dare back out."

Though Old Master Wei felt humiliated, he reasoned that dealing with Yang Qi had to be easier than facing the boss of the Star Shining Society.

As he spoke, Old Master Wei’s frail and aged appearance underwent a drastic transformation. His previously withered muscles suddenly swelled, and his entire frame became robust, a stark contrast to his decrepit form from moments before. It seemed this old fellow also concealed his power, releasing it only during battle and conserving it at all other times.

"Bring me my sword!"

With a wave of his hand, someone immediately brought over a long sword—a double-handed sword so heavy it had to be carried by two men.

Old Master Wei grasped the long sword. A violent aura surged from within him, instantly enveloping the entire blade.

"Earth-yellow True Qi. It seems the Inner Strength you cultivate is of the Earth Element. They say the Earth Element excels in defense, but it looks like your attacks are nothing to scoff at either."

Yang Qi hadn’t been interested in these people originally, but a fight with Old Master Wei might be worthwhile. As long as he didn’t use his Green Emperor Body, a fight against Old Master Wei wouldn’t be a loss. He would likely make some significant gains.

As he spoke, Yang Qi also revealed his own golden long sword. It was his Alchemy Blade again. He carried no mundane weapons on his person, only Magic Artifacts.

Spiritual Power surged wildly from him, exposing his current Realm.

"A Seventh Rank Overlord?"

"How is this possible!"

"He’s so young, and he’s already a Seventh Rank Overlord? More talented than Wei Ying?"

"No wonder he could kill Wei Ying!"

"Hmph, so what if he’s a Seventh Rank Overlord? He still stands no chance against Old Master Wei. The elder is a Ninth Rank Overlord, and one who has reached the peak of Perfection at that," Zheng Yihang scoffed.

"That’s right. The kid is just courting death. No matter how talented he is, he won’t escape death this time," Wei Lan added coldly.

"That may not be the case." Ye Feng smiled faintly. They were filled with confidence in Yang Qi. Since Yang Qi could even kill Jiang Ran, dealing with Old Master Wei should be a piece of cake, shouldn’t it?

Clearly, upon seeing Yang Qi’s Realm, Old Master Wei also froze for a moment. "I never expected you to be even more gifted than my grandson. No wonder you’re so confident. It’s a pity you’re a bit too conceited. If your master were the one to fight, I might not have been guaranteed a win."

"Heh, is that so? Elder, this might be the last battle of your life! I will make you understand that there are things in this world far beyond your imagination."

Yang Qi smiled as the golden long sword in his hand continued to gather a violent aura.

Staring intently at Yang Qi, Old Master Wei’s expression finally regained its calm. Yang Qi’s talent truly astonished him, but the more talented the boy was, the more determined he became to kill him. If Yang Qi didn’t die today, the Wei Family might truly be destroyed by this youngster one day. That was something he would never allow to happen.

The earthen-yellow glow around his body grew more intense, shining like a dazzling halogen floodlight.

"KILL!"

Finally, the old man roared. He stomped fiercely on the ground, and his figure transformed into a blur of light like a halogen beam, charging toward Yang Qi.

Gripping the hefty long sword with both hands, he focused all his True Qi into the blade, tearing through the air with violent and terrifying force. This was, after all, the strike of a Ninth Rank Overlord, powerful enough to easily smash a truck to pieces.

Faced with Old Master Wei’s assault, Yang Qi chose not to meet force with force. Generally speaking, Martial Artists who used Earth Element True Qi possessed immense strength and incredible defense. Clashing head-on with such a person was asking for trouble.

He activated Wind Step, and his figure instantly vanished.

Old Master Wei frowned, an intense frustration welling up inside him. It was the kind of feeling that made you want to cough up blood—to unleash your full power against an opponent only for them to disappear into thin air.

Moreover, Yang Qi’s speed was simply too great. Even with his sharp vision, he could only capture a fleeting afterimage.

But an old fox is an old fox. His reaction speed was incredible. He instantly changed his move, slashing his sword behind him.

CLANG!

With a crisp ring, his sword just barely managed to block Yang Qi’s golden long sword. However, the power that erupted from the golden blade made Old Master Wei’s expression change dramatically.

How can this brat be so fast and still hit so hard? He’s a monster!

He might have underestimated his opponent at first, but not anymore. Not a single trace of condescension remained. Yang Qi was too dangerous! He was even more dangerous than fighting a Martial Artist of the same rank. This kid’s perfect fusion of speed and power was the mark of a natural-born fighting genius!

Of course, Yang Qi was unaware of the depths of Old Master Wei’s shock. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t have cared. In the heat of battle, he couldn’t afford the slightest distraction. Old Master Wei was proving to be far more troublesome than he had anticipated.

His long sword became a blur of thrusts, giving Old Master Wei no opportunity to counter. For a moment, the old man was completely hard-pressed. The terrifying speed combined with savage strength instilled a sense of dread in even the veteran Old Master Wei.

The onlookers from Sea City grew even more anxious. If Old Master Wei lost, they were finished. This was no longer about whether they would honor their promise. If Yang Qi could kill Old Master Wei, it would only confirm how terrifying the owner of the Star Shining Society truly was. The owner of the Star Shining Society had to be even more formidable than Yang Qi—he was Yang Qi’s master, after all. How could they possibly stand against him? In that case, their only hope would be to beg for the victor’s mercy. Otherwise, death was inevitable.

Fortunately, despite being flustered for a while, Old Master Wei gradually regained his balance by relying on his veteran experience. He managed to perfectly parry every one of Yang Qi’s attacks. He even began to counterattack.

Old Master Wei’s counterattacks were heavy and forceful, as if the very power of the Earth was infused into the blade. His techniques were not particularly tricky or cunning, but every single move was filled with devastating, terrifying power.

The two figures clashed back and forth, locked in a spectacular but inconclusive battle. It seemed neither could get the upper hand on the other, yet it was absolutely magnificent to watch.

Yang Qi’s advantage lay in his youth. His reaction speed was incredibly fast, and he could use his reflexes to compensate for any lack of experience. Old Master Wei’s advantage, on the other hand, lay purely in his veteran experience and cunning mind. In every exchange, he sought to achieve the greatest effect with the least amount of effort.

Frankly, he was a very troublesome opponent.

Yang Qi had originally thought Jiang Ran was more of a challenge than Old Master Wei. But without his Green Emperor Body, Old Master Wei was actually the tougher opponent. This was an old man who had lived for over seventy years and survived countless life-or-death battles to build Sea City’s number one family. How could he possibly be defeated so easily?
