Chapter 61 Cultivation as Priority
Looking at Wei Ning's expression, Wei Hong slightly shook his head and said indifferently: "What's the matter? What makes you so anxious? Besides, I just arrived at the Wei residence, what trouble could there be?"
Seeing Wei Hong's nonchalant attitude, Wei Ning became even more anxious and hastily asked: "Do you know why Wei Yi Hang is being so arrogant?"
Wei Hong was taken aback, clearly not understanding. Wei Ning had come to find him about Wei Yi Hang's matter, and he couldn't help but shake his head and say: "Isn't it because he has reached the 8th rank of Martial Artist?"
Wei Ning shook his head and said quickly, "Of course not, he has an older brother named Wei Fa, who was the first place winner of the previous Wei family competition. He has already reached the 9th rank of martial artist. Now, after cultivating in the Wei family for so long, it's all for the sake of making a stunning debut at the sect's grand election. You took down Wei Yi Hang today, how could his older brother let you off?"
Hong heard Wei Ning's words, his face didn't show any reaction, he smiled faintly and looked at Wei Ning saying: "Alright, I know, hurry back to cultivate, tomorrow's test is related to whether we can enter the main house of the Wei family!"
As he spoke, he directly pushed Wei Ning out, and seeing the look on Wei Hong's face, a bitter smile appeared on Wei Ning's face, and he had no choice but to leave. After Wei Ning left, a serious expression finally appeared on Wei Hong's face, and he began to cultivate.
"Can I defeat a 9th rank martial artist?" Wei Hong muttered to himself, with his current strength, he was confident that he could win against a 9th rank martial artist, but still, he needed to raise his cultivation a bit more, otherwise the gap in their cultivations would be difficult to bridge.
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Wei Hong took a deep breath and removed his upper garment, revealing his dark golden skin. He took out three bottles of washing liquid, reapplied it to himself, and quickly patted it, causing the liquid to penetrate into his skin. Then, according to the Body Tempering Technique's method, he slowly guided the martial energy.
A wave of heat and pain radiated out, Wei Hong felt a thread of dull pain, but still gritted his teeth to persist. After using up three bottles of washing water, the upper body of Wei Hong now had a faint layer of crimson red, like being scorched by fire.
Wei Hong's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he took out three bottles of washing liquid again, applying it to his body as before, starting another round of cultivation. Time flew by, and Wei Hong's face occasionally showed a painful expression, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
Two periods of time passed quietly, but Wei Hong's eyes still did not open. He was repeatedly operating the Body Refining Technique, preparing to reach the third layer all at once. However, every time he broke through the barrier, he always fell short by a thread.
"Hmm." Wei Hong's eyes opened, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He let out a long sigh, and a hint of a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The third level was indeed not that easy to reach, but it could be considered as progress nonetheless.
Saying that, Wei Hong stood up and prepared to go out to find a convenient place to practice his Overlord Sword and Barbarian King Fist. The attack was not about quantity but quality, so Wei Hong planned to focus on cultivating the three sword styles and four barbarian king fists to perfection before searching for other suitable places to cultivate.
Before he had even taken a few steps, Wei Hong saw Wei Wuming walking towards him. Seeing the anger on Wei Wuming's face, Wei Hong was slightly startled and went forward to greet him, asking: "What's wrong?"
"A group of ungrateful things, if they hadn't split from the family, how could they have entered the main house to cultivate? Now they don't even care about old relationships and say they want to draw a clear line with the split family. Hmph, the behavior of petty people." Seeing this, Wei Hong's emotions were not hidden, his eyes flashing with anger, he said coldly.
When Wei Wuming finished speaking, Wei Hong didn't react at all. Since ancient times, people have always sought to climb higher. Those who can enter the main house directly from a branch family are naturally one step away from reaching the top. If they can also enter the sect, it's like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and their status will rise with the tide.
"These things are not worth getting angry about, just focus on your cultivation and wait until tomorrow when we enter the main house. As for other things, let's talk about them later. Besides, these things are normal, why bother to care?" Seeing Wei Wuming's expression, Wei Hong smiled faintly and softly advised.
"I also know, but I couldn't help it for a moment." Wei Wuming also nodded lightly and said, then asked: "Where are you preparing to go?"
"I'm going outside to find a secluded place to practice my knife skills." Wei Hong said directly, not hiding his thoughts.
"I advise you not to go out for the time being." Wei Wuming looked at Wei Hong and said with a hint of bitterness.
"Huh?" Wei Hong's face showed a hint of puzzlement as he looked towards Wei Wuming.
"Just now, a young man from the Wei family went out, but they were all taken down. You know, although our cultivation is not weak, compared to the people of the main house, we are still a bit inferior. Even if our cultivation is equal, it's still a matter of being instantly killed." Wei Wuming said this, and his face also showed a hint of depression, apparently, he had also fought with someone.
"It doesn't matter if someone doesn't open their eyes, then I don't mind showing off the strength of our separation." Wei Hong said nonchalantly and walked towards the outside.
Looking at Wei Hong's back, Wei Wuming also shook his head slightly. At first, he had the same idea as Wei Hong, but he was actually defeated by a young martial artist of the seventh grade, and even with the help of Er Fen Gun Yi, he only managed to hold on for less than fifty moves.
"Hmph, you're just ahead of me in entering the main house and cultivating a few years earlier. In less than a year, I will definitely surpass you." Wei Wuming's eyes flashed with strong determination as he muttered to himself.
Just out of the Wei family, Wei Hong suddenly thought of something. The main house is so big that it's impossible to move around randomly. Thinking of this, Wei Hong returned to the fourth courtyard again and found the middle-aged woman who seemed to be the gatekeeper. He asked her: "I don't know where in the main house is convenient for cultivation?"
The woman looked up and said: "Out of the door, go straight north for one mile, there is a Wei family training ground, where you can practice."
Wei Hongdao thanked him and left, while watching Wei Hong leave, the middle-aged woman looked up, a smile flashing across her slightly dark face: "Another one going to find abuse!"
As for the woman, Wei Hong did not hear her. At this time, she was hurrying to the Wei family's training ground with swift steps. Because of her mastery of the Lingbo Step, Wei Hong's movements seemed exceptionally light and agile.
Along the way, Wei Hong did encounter many young men and youths heading to the training grounds, but before they could even react, Wei Hong had already surpassed them.
"Brother, look at that young man who just passed by, is he the one who saved us last time?!" A petite girl exclaimed when she saw Wei Hong suddenly pass by, then her eyes lit up and quickly spoke to a young man beside her.
Before this young man could speak, another white-clothed youth also said: "Wei Ge, it seems to be him."
The two of them spoke up, and Wei Zhen also believed what he had just seen, quickly saying: "Let's go, we'll follow him and see where he's going. It's also a training ground, could it be that he's the young genius of this generation's branch?"
