Zhang Wei immediately calmed himself, following Bai Zihe's instructions to sense and cultivate.
His strength was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
The only imperfection was that.
Zhang Wei had not yet reached his limit, and with no more enemies around, it felt like being stuck in a precarious situation, cut short at a crucial moment.
"Bai Zihe, pay with your life!"
Just then, a furious roar, approaching from afar, descended like a falling star before the two of them.
It was the Grandmaster expert, Kuang Dao!
Upon receiving the report from his subordinates, he had rushed over without delay.
Behind Kuang Dao stood Xu Chengyan, transformed into a half-step Grandmaster Gu worm puppet, its eyes emitting a strange, blood-red flame.
"This is..."
Zhang Wei immediately sensed the power of the two, his expression turning extremely solemn.
Bai Zihe, however, was unusually relaxed and said calmly, "The one in front is likely the Grandmaster-level expert behind Sang Biao."
"The resurrected one is a half-step Grandmaster corpse Gu puppet."
Kuang Dao glanced at him and, after stating his and the puppet's strength, his pupils contracted sharply.
His senses were correct.
This young man... was formidable and a worthy adversary.
However.
Kuang Dao's gaze fell upon Zhang Wei and the car in the distance, and he began to formulate a plan.
"In a moment..."
Bai Zihe's words interrupted Kuang Dao's thoughts.
"I will fight that Grandmaster."
"It's rare to encounter an opponent at the Grandmaster level, and I don't know how much experience you can absorb. Every bit counts, so watch closely."
This was...
Bai Zihe was treating him as a teaching material, intending to cultivate Zhang Wei according to the circumstances.
Kuang Dao's nose steamed with rage.
An ordinary person fighting a martial arts Grandmaster would face immediate death with the slightest carelessness.
But this Bai Zihe...
Clearly didn't take him seriously at all.
"You are too arrogant!"
Kuang Dao narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flickering within them like dancing flames. "Arrogance comes at a price!"
Bai Zihe smiled faintly.
"Arrogance stems from powerful strength."
"He has excellent talent and a heart for cultivation. With my guidance, in time, defeating Grandmasters like you will be effortless."
As Bai Zihe spoke these words.
Kuang Dao was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, unable to control himself.
After a long while, he stared sinisterly at Bai Zihe and Zhang Wei. "I have cultivated for thirty to forty years to reach the Grandmaster level."
"He is only in his twenties and a mere Postnatal Martial Master, not even having crossed the hurdle to become a Prenatal Martial Master."
"Yet you speak so grandly here, claiming he can defeat a martial arts Grandmaster. Isn't that laughable?"
Bai Zihe's expression remained unchanged.
He swept a cold gaze over Kuang Dao and said calmly, "The path of cultivation depends on the master, talent, perseverance, and state of mind..."
"It does not depend on age alone."
"If long cultivation time were useful, wouldn't all the elders in their seventies and eighties be Grandmasters?"
At this point.
Bai Zihe said with disdain, "You cultivated for thirty to forty years to become a Grandmaster, and instead of feeling ashamed, you are proud of it..."
"It's a laughable absurdity!"
"Your thirty to forty years have probably been wasted on dogs."
These words.
Kuang Dao exploded in anger and directly commanded the corpse Gu puppet, "Go, kill him for me!"
He was clearly enraged.
As Bai Zihe was about to act, Zhang Wei suddenly offered eagerly, "Bai Zihe, let me test his strength!"
Bai Zihe stepped back, reminding him, "This is a half-step Grandmaster corpse Gu puppet. Be extremely careful."
Zhang Wei grunted an affirmation and went to fight the corpse Gu puppet.
A half-step Grandmaster was no trivial matter.
Any carelessness could lead to his instant death.
Therefore, Zhang Wei dared not be negligent, and his exchanges with the corpse Gu puppet were quick and decisive.
Fortunately, the corpse Gu puppet's combat awareness was not high.
Several times it cornered Zhang Wei, but he managed to dodge every blow.
Bai Zihe watched and nodded approvingly.
Being able to exchange blows with the corpse Gu puppet for ten moves without falling behind at his current level was already quite impressive for Zhang Wei.
Just then.
The corpse Gu puppet struck Zhang Wei's chest with a palm, its immense power sending him flying. He coughed up blood mid-air.
Bai Zihe caught his back, helping to absorb some of the impact.
"You are no match for him."
"Next... watch how I deal with him."
