309 Cat Dad’s First Uncle – Wei Xiong
Chapter 309 – Cat Dad’s First Uncle – Wei Xiong
= Seo Jungwoo’s Pocket Dantian =
“No way!”
Xiaomao’s clone at 100% potential difficulty hovered in the sky, looking down on the weretiger in the pool of his blood. His eight tentacles behind his back projected a black and white curtain, serving as his wings while the tentacles became the bone wings.
On the ground, everything was frozen. A million energy swords stabbed into the ground and created a complex sword maze array, trapping Jungwoo and sealing his movements.
Xiaomao’s clone opened his palm and a katana manifested. He held it over his head and slashed down. Then, a vertical crescent sword beam descended, coming after Jungwoo.
He had seen this move before. Jungwoo shouted and jumped away from the sword beam.
BOOM
The sword beam exploded and a thousand sword beams scattered everywhere like a firework.
Jungwoo kept retreating, but the sword beams kept exploding and multiplying.
“This is ridiculous! Is this Xiaomao’s true potential?!”
The weretiger couldn’t even counterattack. Dodging and staying alive was the best he could do.
Because Jungwoo kept dodging, Xiaomao’s clone completed another move. An energy orb manifested behind Jungwoo and exploded.
True Purification Dao – Energy Dispersion!
When the shockwave hit Jungwoo’s back, he sensed the changes in his body. His transformation was canceled, and his Qi was depleted!
“Eh?!”
It was too late for Jungwoo to react. Without Qi or Life Essence, the fireworks of sword beams sliced him into a thousand pieces.
He lost!
.
Jungwoo returned to the real world and panted. He sweated profusely, regretting his decision to compete against Xiaomao.
He turned to look at Xiaomao, who was still in the middle of meditating.
‘Now I know why Mir treasures him. He has the potential to become a monster if he can utilize his full potential. Wow.’
Jungwoo’s fighting spirit was ignited. He returned to his pocket dantian.
This time, he didn’t pick a fight with Xiaomao’s clone again. He picked a normal opponent, trying to learn new abilities and hone his skills.
.
.
Meanwhile, Xiaomao hadn’t touched Jungwoo’s clone yet. He got stuck in an intense battle with Wei Xiong for over a month in the pocket dantian without resting.
Nothing worked against Wei Xiong as they both used the same Wei Clan Swordsmanship. Xiaomao’s tentacles couldn’t even touch his opponent even though Wei Xiong was a three-meter tall giant.
While fighting, Wei Xiong’s mouth moved again.
‘Use your elements, you fool. Abuse your ice and water spells to interrupt my movements. Your Dao of True Purification is not only there to remove status effects. True Purification Dao is a negation ability. Use it to remove my energy and my transformation! That Dao of Alpha Male can also mess with my mind if you use it right! Remember that alpha males in an animal pack can suppress other male animals in their pack, too!’
As if Wei Xiong was coaching Xiaomao, he gave hints and tips during the fight. However, he showed no mercy when he attacked.
Because of this lecture, Xiaomao hesitated to go all out. He wanted to keep listening to Wei Xiong’s advice to learn from him.
Unfortunately, all parties must come to an end. Xiaomao started mixing water spells, ice spells, and other abilities during the sword fight.
Ice spikes appeared while Wei Xiong dodged one of Xiaomao’s firework sword beams. Tribulation Lightning randomly struck down and chained the lightning bolts to every energy sword, turning it into an electric net that caged Wei Xiong.
The Oni smirked and used his ultimate moves as well. The sky turned red, and all ice melted into blood. At the same time, Xiaomao’s blood exploded from inside his body.
Xiaomao fell to his knees and vomited several mouthfuls of blood, but he hadn’t given up yet. Four silver tentacles that were coated with True Purification Dao flashed and covered him in a silver fog.
Wei Xiong narrowed his eyes and jumped up. A split second later, an ice spear emerged from the ground and followed Wei Xiong to the sky.
Under the ice spear, Xiaomao emerged under it as he used the Purification Dao as a smokescreen. He followed the spear and chased after Wei Xiong.
BANG
BANG
Tribulation Lightning bolts hit both of them at the same time due to the randomness of this skill. However, Xiaomao bellowed.
“NIHIL!”
The electric current entered Xiaomao’s mouth, and his wounds were healed. Four black tentacles emitted dark gas and formed a black wing behind him while the four white tentacles formed a white wing.
The katana in Xiaomao’s hand and his flying swords suddenly emitted the sparks and energy of the tribulation lightning. Xiaomao sent another fireworks slash and ordered all his swords to go after Wei Xiong.
The Oni looked at the incoming attacks in shock and astonishment. He pointed his finger at Xiaomao, planning to explode his heart with his ultimate Heart Destruction Dao.
However, at the last moment, he lowered his hand and revealed a proud smile.
‘Magnificent.’
BOOM
Ten thousand swords sliced him to pieces and the tribulation lightning burnt his flesh to ashes!
DING
Finally, Xiaomao completed the second challenge. However, he wasn’t proud of that.
He was sad.
After Wei Xiong’s corpse dissipated into dust, a dozen items appeared on the ground. His gears, swords, katanas, war club, and clothes piled up.
But Xiaomao only cared about a certain item. He rushed to the pile of items and picked up the orb of Wei Xiong’s memory. He used it without hesitation.
.
Once again, flashes of Wei Xiong’s memory entered his mind. A fracture of knowledge and experience of Wei Xiong was passed down to him.
When everything was over, Xiaomao’s consciousness entered a void area with a bright platform. At the center of that platform, Wei Xiong was there, grinning from ear to ear.
“Well done, little guy. You’ve made me proud.”
Xiaomao bitterly smiled, “You went easy on me, uncle.”
“No. It wasn’t me that fought you. It was the memory of my previous life before Kishin Douji corrupted me. Hell, that wasn’t even my full strength. I was an immortal, you know.”
“R-Really? Then, how strong were you when you were in your prime?”
Wei Xiong laughed, but his smile soon faded. His expression turned solemn, “My time here is limited, so I’m going to teach you something that Wei Feng couldn’t do. Do you remember how the clone used the blood element foundation against you?”
Xiaomao nodded.
“Good. I’ll show you the applications of the blood element. Remember, all Onis were born with blood spiritual roots, and the blood element is one of their specialties. In your other life, you were once born the Oni bloodline, so the karma of Oni exists within your soul. You can awaken that instinct in the future like how you gain the power of your father and cathulhu.”
“R-Really?”
“I want to explain more. Again, my time is limited. Watch my techniques and remember them! Don’t forget anything!”
“Yes, uncle!”
Wei Xiong snickered and began using the power of the blood element. His cultivation base sharply rose to the immortal realm, and he began using the constellation domain power.
Wei Xiong cut his hand and drew his blood. However, the blood danced and moved as if they were alive. It multiplied and soon turned transformed into a floating blood sea, which later evolved into countless blood clones of Wei Xiong with the same cultivation base!
“This is my ultimate constellation domain, the Blood Warriors. Too bad I didn’t get a chance to use it against someone, but I want you to inherit it!”
RUMBLE
Wei Xiong began to dance, fighting against his blood clones. All of them started using different types of constellation domains and fought against their master.
For five minutes, Xiaomao watched how Wei Xiong defeated 100,000 of his blood clones with his blood sword, which could extend and bend like a whip.
RUMBLE
Xiaomao felt the changes in his body. He had so much inspiration from watching the fight.
After the fight ended, Wei Xiong looked at Xiaomao. He formally cupped his fist.
“This might be the last time we get to see each other like this. My karma ends here since I’m already dead and being punished for working for my evil father and Kishin Douji. Niece, if you have a chance to visit Minghe Blood Star in the future, don’t forget to pick me up from the Entity Blood Sea, okay?”
Xiaomao bitterly smiled, “I don’t even know where that star is, but I’ll try, uncle.”
“Thanks. Godspeed, Xiaomao. Take care of yourself and your mother for me. Don’t go down the wrong path as I did.”
“Wait! What did you do, uncle?!”
Wei Xiong and the platform dissipated, but he managed to get the message delivered. He yelled.
“Gather as many Heavenly Fate Crystals as you can like your father and Mu-Nyang did. Don’t trust the PROTAGONISTS of your generation!! They’re all your rivals!!”
“Eh? What?!”
It was too late for Xiaomao to ask further. His consciousness was pulled back to his real body, and he woke up from the trance.
Xiaomao panted. He clenched his chest and held back his tears.
Similar to what happened to Wei Feng, a vial of blood was in Xiaomao’s hand, and all of Wei Xiong’s items were in his game inventory.
Xiaomao looked at the vial of blood and recalled Wei Xiong’s words.
“Minghe Blood Star. Heavenly Fate Crystals. Don’t trust the… protagonists?”
Protagonists?
Xiaomao pursed his lips. He instinctively turned to Jungwoo and frowned.
‘Protagonists? Like a novel’s main character? Come to think of it, isn’t Jungwoo also the main character material for Korean novels?’
He scratched his head. He still didn’t understand how to judge if someone was a protagonist.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, he decided to ask Mir later. He turned his attention to the item in his hand. Xiaomao examined the vial of blood.
Mir took Wei Feng’s vial of blood from him, but she hadn’t concocted a pill yet. Now, a new one was in Xiaomao’s possession.
‘Should I drink this raw?’
He hesitated. He closed his eyes to contemplate.
Fortunately, he had two extra advisers with him. Instinct Senpai and Foresight Senpai always guided him whenever he encountered a turning point in his life.
[Cathulhu Instinct]: Don’t be afraid. Mir doesn’t know everything about you. It’s safe to drink.
[Foresight]: Oni’s blood will awaken your previous life’s karma when you were Mao Miaomiao’s son. It’s safe to drink it. You will benefit a lot from the blood essence.
Since his Senpais approved of his decision, Xiaomao open the lit and drank the content.
