Ji Wuchang was deeply moved when he heard this, and even his eyes reddened slightly.
In his previous life, when his meridians developed problems, his master, Meng Caihong, had never scorned him. She had even traveled far and wide searching for medicinal ingredients for him.
At that moment, Ji Wuchang silently resolved to cultivate diligently. He absolutely could not let the tragedy of his previous life repeat itself.
"Rest assured, Master. Your disciple understands!"
Meng Caihong gave Ji Wuchang a few more reminders, then turned and left!
Ji Wuchang returned to his residence but did not enter his room. An unusual gleam flashed through his eyes!
Ji Wuchang recalled the cultivation method for the first punch of the Wind and Thunder Fist. This punch was called Wind and Thunder Transformation!
Wind and Thunder Transformation was the first punch of the Wind and Thunder Fist. It mobilized the power of wind and thunder within the body to form the momentum of a thunderous fist.
Ji Wuchang had already worked through this punch many times and was thoroughly familiar with it, but he still carefully reviewed it before practicing to avoid making any mistakes!
Ji Wuchang closed his eyes and carefully contemplated it.
A moment later, Ji Wuchang opened his eyes. Wisps of lightning power flickered within them!
"Wind and Thunder Transformation!"
Ji Wuchang gave a low shout and clenched his right fist. The lightning sphere in his dantian spun, and strands of lightning power surged out of it, instantly entering his meridians.
Feeling the sharp pangs of pain coming from his meridians, Ji Wuchang's expression grew increasingly solemn.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Wuchang sent his right fist, flashing with lightning, smashing straight into a ten-thousand-jin boulder several zhang away.
Boom!
A violent tremor rang out as the ten-thousand-jin boulder split apart, turning into countless fragments that flew in every direction!
Ji Wuchang swallowed. Even he had been startled.
Threads of lightning danced over the shattered stones. The spot where his fist had struck was charred black!
This was only the first punch, yet its might was already this terrifying.
Ji Wuchang estimated that even someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm First Layer might not be able to withstand this fierce, overbearing punch! Taking it head-on would certainly inflict severe injuries!
But the thing was, he was only at the peak of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!
Ji Wuchang knew that his strength was completely different from what it had been in his previous life.
"What fist technique is that? It's quite overbearing!"
Ji Yaoyao's voice sounded beside Ji Wuchang's ear, surprise evident in her voice as well!
"The Wind and Thunder Fist!"
Ji Wuchang did not hide it and told Ji Yaoyao directly.
The two of them had entered into a Shared Life Curse, so Ji Wuchang was not afraid of Ji Yaoyao learning some things about him.
Moreover, Ji Wuchang knew very well that Ji Yaoyao was a great treasure trove for him. He simply had not had time to tap into it yet!
Just then, several figures flew over. They were Meng Caihong, An Kexin, Zeng Linghong, and Tai Yujie.
"Wuchang, are you all right?"
Meng Caihong glanced at the stones scattered around and hurriedly asked.
Ji Wuchang was rather embarrassed. He had forgotten about this just now.
"Master, I was just trying out a combat skill and made a little too much noise!"
Hearing this, Meng Caihong immediately sighed in relief.
An Kexin and Tai Yujie glanced at their master, then at Ji Wuchang, and their expressions instantly darkened.
The stones scattered all around made it clear that this combat skill was extremely powerful.
At that moment, the two felt even more strongly that Meng Caihong was playing favorites, and their dissatisfaction with Ji Wuchang grew!
Ji Wuchang had no intention of paying attention to these two brainless senior sisters. He greeted his second senior brother, Zeng Linghong, and as soon as his master left, he immediately entered his room.
With a bang, the door shut, cutting him off from the outside world!
An Kexin and Tai Yujie frowned, but said nothing more and turned to leave!
The next day, the main peak's great square was a sea of people!
Thousands of disciples from the Longevity Sect appeared. Many had even secured their spots the night before, all to watch today's exciting matches.
By the time Meng Caihong arrived at the main peak with her four disciples, the place was already packed!
Naturally, however, Meng Caihong had a seat, right at the front of the viewing platform.
As for An Kexin and the others, they could only find somewhere to watch on their own!
"Kexin, you all go find yourselves a spot!"
Meng Caihong spoke calmly.
An Kexin and the others nodded, then turned to leave.
Suddenly, Tai Yujie turned back with a slight frown and looked at Ji Wuchang, then said flatly, "Little Junior Brother, aren't you coming?"
Ji Wuchang remained calm. He merely glanced at Tai Yujie, showing no intention of speaking.
Seeing Ji Wuchang's expression, Tai Yujie was furious. She felt that Ji Wuchang was showing them less and less regard!
"Wuchang won't be going with you. He'll stay by my side!"
Meng Caihong spoke calmly.
An Kexin and Tai Yujie froze where they stood when they heard this. They still did not know that Ji Wuchang would be taking part in the matches!
At that moment, An Kexin's heart was filled with boundless fury.
I'm Master's eldest disciple. If anyone should stay by her side, it should be me. Why should it be this little junior brother?
An Kexin lowered her head to keep the anger in her eyes from showing.
But her slightly clenched fists revealed her inner unrest!
Meng Caihong noticed none of this and headed straight for the viewing platform with Ji Wuchang.
Ji Wuchang calmly glanced at Tai Yujie, a trace of disdain showing in his eyes, then followed behind his master!
"Senior Sister, look at him..."
Tai Yujie had barely spoken when An Kexin cut her off with a shake of her head, then left expressionlessly.
Although Tai Yujie was very unhappy, she said nothing more.
Of the three, only Zeng Linghong remained calm. He saw nothing wrong with this!
As Little Bamboo Peak's eldest disciple and quite a beauty, An Kexin naturally had simps around her.
Seeing An Kexin and the others coming over, a man nearby waved frantically. He had already saved spots for them.
These spots were very close to the fighting platform, allowing them to see the battles on it clearly!
Ji Wuchang's gaze swept over that somewhat plump figure, and a trace of pity appeared in his eyes.
This little fatty was a disciple of the sixth elder, Yue Zhen. His name was Fang Xue'ao, and his current cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment Realm Third Level.
His eventual end had been tragic. During a trial in a secret realm, his dantian had shattered while protecting An Kexin, leaving him a cripple. He had left the Longevity Sect in dejection.
Ji Wuchang still remembered that before the little fatty left, he had come to Little Bamboo Peak to ask to see An Kexin.
But he had waited from morning until night without An Kexin ever appearing. In the end, the little fatty had left in disappointment.
Even now, Ji Wuchang still remembered the sight of the little fatty's back as he left. He had been so young, yet his back had already stooped.
But Ji Wuchang had never considered helping this little fatty. After all, their relationship in his previous life had only been average.
Moreover, because of An Kexin, the little fatty had even become Xiao Fan's little lackey.
