Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 36: Sparring (2)

*Swoosh*

Yang Wei continued to dodge Xiao Wei’s strike and made sure he didn’t go for the ground.

As much as Yang Wei wanted to call off the sparring, this was a good opportunity for him to learn and adapt to an unexpected situation.

If for some reason, he encountered something similar like this again when he met an enemy, there was no way they would stop just because he said to stop.

Thus, Yang Wei could only run away to an area where there aren’t a lot of herbs to prevent any more damages.

‘Everywhere is herbs and the only place I can fight Xiao Wei is in the air.’ Yang Wei ponders inwardly before having to dodge to his right side by kicking his left foot for the momentum.

Xiao Wei missed his strike and Yang Wei already began sweating from the ferocious slash of Xiao Wei.

‘No wonder why battle spirits are every cultivator’s dream to have one. They’re never tired and always pursue their target relentlessly.’

Yang Wei cannot help but reevaluate the strength of Xiao Wei and erased his data from Xiao Wei’s previous fight against Old Ling’s battle spirit.

Looking at Xiao Wei solemnly, Yang Wei decided to take the fight in the air for a final clash between them.

Leaping to the sky, Xiao Wei instantly followed behind as it made a frontal motion of slash and Yang Wei smiled at that time.

‘Although you have all my skills and have destructive power, you’re lacking the brain of how to fight properly.’ Yang Wei said inwardly when he figured out this flaw of Xiao Wei.

Battle spirits are strong from the beginning when they are formed but they lack experience in fighting, meaning if the enemy has some trick up their sleeves, it would be hard for the battle spirit to prepare for it.

Holding his sword with his right hand in mid-air, Yang Wei used his left hand to condense a soul sword, the technique he first learned from ELder Jing before having to change.

Although it was still shaped like a dagger, it was noticeably bigger than the first time he condenses and Xiao Wei knew about this technique already so there was no change in his attacking slash.

Yang Wei smiles as he deflects Xiao Wei with the soul-dagger in his left hand, causing Xiao Wei to tilt to the right side, leaving an opening for him.

“Hehe, I win Xiao Wei,” Yang Wei shouted as he used the thirteen sword slash first move.

*Bang*

Yang Wei got a direct hit on Xiao Wei as it flew toward the ground and crashed down.

‘Phew, thank god there was no herb in that area, or else I would get a real thrashing from Senior Ling.’

Yang Wei sighed in relief as he slowly landed on the ground as well. Xiao Wei also got up at this time before swirling around Yang Wei since the spar was over.

“Xiao Wei, this was a good spar but I don’t think we will do it until later on. I can’t afford to pay for the damages you create.” Yang Wei said as he touched Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei was confused since he could barely comprehend Yang Wei. Still, it made a tingling sound that is akin to nodding in understanding.

Afterward, Xiao Wei went back to reside on Yang Wei’s core. Yang Wei could feel this short spar allowed him to increase his understanding of Xiao Wei.

However, Yang Wei could only scratch his head when he saw the herb ruined when he returned.

With a helpless look, Yang Wei walked over to save the herbs that could still be replanted while plucking those that can no longer regrow.

‘Speaking of the destruction, why isn’t Senior Ling coming out yet? He cared about his herbs more than anything.’

While cleaning, Yang Wei started to question the whereabouts of Senior Ling.

He created a huge mess in his place yet Old Ling didn’t come out to scold him or even bother at all.

It was almost similar to how he appeared to them in the first place and started interacting, only to vanish without a sound.

Yang Wei started to become suspicious as he finished cleaning up the mess to search for Old Ling.

However, no matter where he searches, Yang Wei always comes back to the hut where Elder Jing is currently resting.

‘This is getting weird.’ Yang Wei wrinkled his brow when he found the situation to be more serious.

Retracing his footsteps, Yang Wei continued walking before finding the suspicious part.

The area where Yang Wei managed to defeat Xiao Wei and caused him to crash into the ground was no longer there. There was zero sign of fighting and Yang Wei knew he didn’t manage to fix everything up.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Yang Wei decided to test a theory. With a thought, Xiao Wei came out once again and this time Yang Wei gave an order he might regret if he was wrong.

“Xiao Wei, do you see those herbs growing, I want you to use your best to destroy them.” Yang Wei pointed toward a direction and Xiao Wei didn’t waste a single second before using the thirteen sword slash on those herbs.

*Booom*

The destructive power of Xiao Wei’s strike was better than Yang Wei by a large margin but Yang Wei had no time to admire the flawless skill.

After the dust scatters, Yang Wei nodded his head when he saw all the herbs ruined with a giant crater in the ground.

“Come back Xiao Wei,” Yang Wei made Xiao Wei go back to his core as he left the area to check on Elder Jing’s condition.

‘Hopefully, my conjecture is wrong,’ Yang Wei prayed inwardly.

A few moments later, Yang Wei entered the hut and checked on Elder Jing’s pulse. ‘Good, at this rate, Elder Jing should be able to wake up tomorrow.’

Going back outside to get some freshwater, Yang Wei continued to mouth-fed Elder Jing. Giving off a soft sigh, Yang Wei was a bit ashamed of himself since he was happy about this process of mouth-feeding Elder Jing.

Even though his intention was good, he could not lie that it wasn’t a delightful feeling to kiss Elder Jing’s soft lip.

Quickly shaking his lustful thought out, Yang Wei soon returned his focus on rehydrating Elder Jing.

Once Yang Wei finished feeding Elder Jing, he went back to the area that Xiao Wei destroyed, only to have a solemn expression.

‘Looks like my conjecture was right.’
