Chapter 76: Fighting a 5th Stage Qi Condensation Cultivator
"This is madness," Lin Mei whispered, watching Ke Yin and Chen Wu face each other across the training ground. "Chen Wu has never lost to anyone below the sixth stage."
"Brother Ke Yin will win!" Liu Chen declared, though his fingers were white-knuckled where they gripped Rocky's stone leg. The giant made a low, worried rumble.
"Careful Rocky," Wei Ting called out gently. "Those pillars are quite expensive to replace."
Rocky shifted slightly, accidentally crushing a decorative stone anyway. Liu Chen winced.
Wei Lin turned to his father. "I hope you stop this before it gets too far."
"Getting cold feet about your friend's capabilities?" Wei Guang asked, raising an eyebrow. "That's not like you, little brother."
Wei Ye smiled, his eyes never leaving the two combatants. "Chen Wu understands restraint. Don't worry, your friend will be fine." He glanced at his younger son. "Though I notice you didn't deny your older brother’s comment. Having doubts?"
"It's not that I don't believe in Ke Yin," Wei Lin replied carefully. "But fighting above your cultivation realm isn't an easy task. Chen Wu has broken talents before."
"Nineteen, to be exact," Wei Guang supplied helpfully. "Though most recovered... eventually."
