16 Want to be a Monk? (2/2)

”I can beat him!” he sneered. ”I can kill him right now!” he exclaimed, and a Sonic Palm descended from the heavens at a rapid speed, but Xue Wei was faster.

During their last fight, Xue Wei had not even cultivated to the fifth layer, and he had never before tried using the Shattering Mountain Palm. Now he had spent a few weeks perfecting his understanding of both Forbidden Rush and Shattering Mountain Palm, so his performance was many times more astonishing.

It seemed as if his body trembled slightly and then he vanished from sight before reappearing behind Li Jian.

Shattering Mountain Palm!

The attack descended onto Li Jian's back, and Xue Wei had held nothing back, adding all his Qi into this strike.

Li Jian shot forward again; blood spurted from his mouth this time. He had been wholly unprepared for the strike, and it had caused a lot more injuries to him than it would have if he had been prepared. If he was prepared, although he would have been injured, it would not have been as bad as it was now.

Like a leaf fluttering in the wind, Xue Wei vanished again and reappeared at the place where he previously stood. His facial expression was the same as it had been before Li Jian had cast his sudden attack, and although his clothes fluttered slightly, he seemed so casual as if he had not even attacked.

Xue Wei completely ignored Li Jian who was biting the dust on the ground and turned to look at the podium in front of them.

Sitting on the podium on five regular chairs were five people. They wore monk robes, and their eyes were observing what was going on in the crowd.

Xue Wei, looking at the monks, felt that their auras were similar to Manager Su and even closer to his uncle, Xiao Lei.

Some of the five experts were looking at Xue Wei with interest, one of them especially had his eyes lit up with excitement, while two were looking with polite boredness. One was filled with apathy, and the last one was just smiling slightly, not displaying any of his real emotions.

”The rumor is true!” someone whispered in the crowd, and suddenly it burst, ”He is not trash anymore!”

”How did he do it? I cannot even see what his cultivation level is at?”

”What kind of plant did that bastard eat to become so strong?”

”A dragon uncle cannot foster a dog nephew; I guess some of Xiao Lei's strength is finally starting to rub off on him!”

So many thoughts were being spoken out loud, and all of them were filled with excitement. Their words made it on top of the stage and the guy who was very curious about what he had seen raised an eyebrow.

”You there, kid, they call you trash, and although your cultivation base is quite low for your age, you have a movement technique. What is this about?”

”My lord, I have a special physique,” Xue Wei said, once again making the excuse he had used to deceive Shen Bingwen. He had read in books that many different physiques existed, and although he had never seen one and they were as rare as only one appearing in every generation in the entire continent, he betted his luck on it.

”My physique is such that I could not cultivate, but Qi gathered in my body whenever I was breathing. Back then, it was only a question about time before my dantian would unlock, and when it did, all the Qi my body had gathered would quickly turn to become Qi within my dantian.”

”The unlocking of my dantian happened around four and a half months ago,” Xue Wei said and looked as honest and upright as anyone could expect, and the monk nodded his head when he heard this.

When Xue Wei said particular physique, the other monks showed interest, even the two bored monks and the apathetic one. Their eyes roamed over Xue Wei's body, but upon noticing that there was nothing unusual, they just nodded their heads.

The monk who had spoken rubbed his chin for a bit and nodded his head too, ”to think that this small kingdom had a person with a special physique. But I guess that you did not tell anyone about it before and was treated like trash?”

Xue Wei politely nodded his head. He had been looking for a way to say these words out loud so that everyone could have an excuse for his meteoric rise.

The words unique physique caused a lot of commoners to startle. They did not know about such a phenomenon, but after hearing Xue Wei explain what he did, they were all surprised and enlightened.

”Young man, if you ever want to be a monk, come with us to visit our master,” the speaking monk said with a smile. ”Although you cannot become a Diviner, I am sure you would make it quite well as another kind of monk.”

Xue Wei cupped his hands and bowed deeply to the monk. ”Thank you for your kind offer,” Xue Wei said politely. ”I have to say that I am tempted, but I am also a warrior. I wish to fight the Primordial Beasts in the war. I wish to become a great figure like my uncle and slaughter Primordial Beasts.”

Xue Wei was honest and upright, and the monk did not press further. He just smiled and nodded his head before he sat back down on the chair.
