Chapter 33: Battle of Endurance

Yang Wei asked his question which stunned Old Ling for a moment.

“T-There’s no reason for my action. It was just my wishful and selfish thinking to match you two.” Old Ling said as he avoided eye contact.

Yang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly. ‘Was I like Senior Ling whenever I tried to lie? No wonder why Elder Jing was always suspicious of me.’

Yang Wei sighed inwardly when he saw the expression and speech of Old Ling.

“Senior Ling, I’m not trying to disrespect you but learn to lie better next time.” Yang Wei said as he exposed him directly.

He was done with all these mysteries and people hiding things behind his back.

It was fine to be in the dark on Elder Jing’s condition but trying to hide the fact that Old Ling is plotting something against them is not something he would let go of.

“Cough, it’s better if you just let it be and stay ignorant about some stuff,” Old Ling replied slowly and tried to flee.

When Old Ling flew to the skies, Yang Wei suddenly shouted, “Pagoda” to stop his track.

Old Ling flinched for a bit while staying airborne and turned around to look at Yang Wei in surprise.

Going back to the ground, Old Ling looked at Yang Wei solemnly as he tried to figure out something.

‘How did he know about the pagoda? I didn’t even spill anything out at all.’ Old Ling questioned inwardly.

“Who informed you about the pagoda?” Old Ling decided to ask Yang Wei for answers.

“Not until you tell me why you tried to force me and Elder Jing together.” Yang Wei smirked when he finally got his interest.

Old Ling had a dumbfounded expression as he wasn’t expecting Yang Wei to give him a taste of his own medicine.

‘Stingy brat, keeping me in suspense after I did it to you huh.’ Old Ling gave off a soft hmph before strolling around.

Putting his hand behind his back, Old Ling continued to walk around in a circle and Yang Wei crossed his arm to await his answer.

‘Let’s see who has the most patience. I’m always alone back in the village so I can wait all day.’ Yang Wei sat in a lotus position to increase his cultivation in the meantime.

It has been a while since he cultivated after fighting Old Ling and going unconscious after overusing his true qi.

Meanwhile, Old Ling had veins popping out of his forehead in the nonchalant attitude of him to go straight to cultivating.

‘Hmph, I have also been alone for so long in this herb garden. You think I will simply give in to your behavior.’

Old Ling also decided to ignore Yang Wei and start watering his herb in the process.

It was a battle between them on who can endure their curiosity and urge to know each other’s secrets.

At the same time, a very foolish thing to do since they could just tell each other their secret.

Men always have their dumb pride of honor and since they started this endurance battle, none of them would speak first.

Time slowly passed and Yang Wei finally finished consolidating his cultivation that has advanced far too quickly.

‘My cultivation at the 8th stage Qi Condensation is solid now. Let me try to increase my understanding of the battle spirit now.’

Yang Wei forgot about Old Ling completely as his mind focuses on increasing his strength.

With a single thought, the battle spirit appeared and started flying around the sky in excitement.

A battle spirit is closely connected to their soul and they can improve as their soul continues to be more powerful.

‘It’s a shame that I don’t have a soul technique since they’re extremely rare and limited.’

Yang Wei sighed in disappointment when it all comes down to resources in the end.

While Yang Wei continued to test things around with his battle spirit, someone could no longer handle the silent treatment.

“Brat, this farce has been going on for too long.” Old Ling shouted when he finished watering all the herbs in this area.

Since his cultivation was extremely high, it was an easy thing for him to finish traveling this vast area in a matter of minutes.

Also, he has been doing this task for a long time so the familiarity backfired on him. Without anything else to do besides watching Yang Wei smile happily, he decided to give in.

‘Although I’m 90% confident where he managed to obtain this information, it’s better to confirm the truth. Also, if my conjecture is right then I would face the blame if I delay it.’

Old Ling scratched his hand in an irritated mood since he was at a complete disadvantage despite being stronger than Yang Wei by a large margin.

Yang Wei heard Old Ling’s words so he didn’t stall any longer as he placed the battle spirit back into his core and stood up to face him.

“You’re finally willing to talk now, Senior Ling. We could have done this earlier.” Yang Wei smiled at Old Ling who had an impulse to thrash him.

“Hmph, before I speak the meaning of my action, promise me that you keep it a secret from Little Jing,” Old Ling scoffed at his word and told his condition.

Yang Wei was slightly surprised by the serious speech of Old Ling and wondered if this is truly related to that mysterious shadow in that weird dream of his.

“That would depend on the circumstance so I can’t guarantee anything.” Yang Wei said since he would not try to hide any more secrets from Elder Jing.

He still hasn’t told Elder Jing about his previous life and how his soul is different from others.

“Once you hear my explanation and based on your action in Little Jing’s lust, I can guarantee you would keep your mouth shut at all times.” Old Ling smirked since it was his turn to corner Yang Wei.

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulder without giving a reply. Saying anything else would not benefit him either way.

Old Ling clenched his fist in annoyance but in the end, he sighed. “This is related to the pagoda that will appear in a few days in this mysterious realm. It was an inheritance left behind by my master, Nie Jin.”
