Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 135: Waiting in Silent

Elder Jing ordered the disciples to quickly set up a tent for them to rest.

However, she has warned them that they could be leaving at any time so none of the disciples did any extra work besides setting up a bed.

“Elder Jing, the mysterious realm is starting to show signs of its ending,” Elder Pao Huang walked over to Elder Jing as he relayed the information he found.

Elder Jing nodded.

“We simply have to wait around 2-3 days and we can finally return to the outside world.” Elder Jing then said.

Elder Pao Huang agreed as he couldn’t wait to leave this mysterious realm and he vowed to never ever enter another one in his life.

He knew he could not withstand another mysterious realm given his talent and ability so why should he overestimate himself.

“You can take a rest now, Elder Pao Huang. We have been traveling quite a distance,” Elder Jing said without looking at him.

Elder Pao Huang smiled bitterly as his behavior was widely known in the group that he was a heavy sleeper.

“Understood, Elder Jing… you should rest soon since you are the leader and need to take care of a lot of things,” Elder Pao Huang cupped his fist before dismissing himself to a tent.

Elder Jing glanced at the direction of the Pagoda with a solemn expression. 

‘Hopefully, those demons would remain there and not explore around.’ Elder Jing sighed inwardly as things would be problematic if the demons started to scatter around to look for prey.

Pondering for another few moments, Elder Jing glared at Yang Wei who was standing still in a daze.

“What are you doing right now?” Elder Jing asked with a fierce expression.

“Uhh- on standby?” Yang Wei stuttered as he didn’t know why Elder Jing would suddenly turn angry at him.

He didn’t understand what he did wrong to make her angry when he was silent the entire time in waiting.

“You’re still standing here?” Elder Jing roared at Yang Wei, causing him to shudder slightly.

“W-What do you mean Elder Jing?” Yang Wei asked, hoping to get some clarification on the mistakes he made.

Elder Jing narrowed her eyes and said, “Just because we are avoiding the demons currently doesn’t mean you can slack off in your training.”

And she continued, “Hurry up and retrieve the sandbag in your spatial ring that I gave you and start practicing the Octane Punch.”

Yang Wei twitched his mouth as he never imagined he would still be required to train when there are dangers ahead of them. 

Especially, when Elder Jing specifically said to all the disciples to rest up and be prepared to escape at any given time.

“Didn’t you tell everyone to rest up?’ Yang Wei said in a confused expression.

Alas, that was Yang Wei’s mistake since Elder Jing curved her lips upward and showed a menacing smile, scaring the crap out of Yang Wei.

Yang Wei started to sweat upon seeing this deadly expression of Elder Jing as he took a step back lightly.

“Yang Wei~ are you part of those disciples that I mentioned?” Elder Jing said in a soothing voice.

However, all Yang Wei could feel was a sword that was inches away from slicing his head off.

Yang Wei swallowed nervously as he quickly shook his head in reply, “N-No, I’m not part of the ‘disciples’ that you ordered.”

“Then why are you still standing in a daze? You don’t have much time left and my patience is running thin.” 

Yang Wei paled as he hurriedly retrieved the sandbag out before practicing his Octane Punch in a serious and focused manner.

The punching noise was loud and made the other disciples look at their surroundings to see who was making loud noises when it was time for rest.

The disciples tracked the sound coming from and their vision soon landed on Yang Wei who was currently punching at a sandbag rapidly.

They held a gawking expression when they saw Yang Wei practicing some punches but their main focus was the true qi that emitted from Yang Wei’s punch.

“Such a profound punching technique… just what is that?” A disciple muttered.

“W-Wait a minute… that punching technique seems to be the trash martial technique, Octane Punch,” A disciple that recognized the technique shouted in surprise.

The rest of the disciples stared at him with a disbelieving expression. Their expression was filled with doubt as they had never heard of the Octane Punch being so powerful.

While everyone was holding their doubts, Lian Xinyue’s voice suddenly echoed, “No, it’s really the Octane Punch.”

With Lian Xinyue’s confirmation, the rest of the disciples were dumbfounded to see that the Octane Punch could produce such prowess.

Moreover, their attention soon returned to Elder Jing when they noticed Yang Wei was being supervised by her.

Looks of envy and jealousy soon filled their eyes as they stopped paying attention to Yang Wei. Otherwise, they believe they could no longer sleep peacefully without cursing Yang Wei to death.

‘No wonder why they only grouped together with us now… Elder Jing was training Yang Wei,’ Lian Xinyue exclaimed inwardly as she finally figured things out.

Lian Xinyue glanced at their interaction briefly before sighing when it was clear that Elder Jing seemed to be in an ambiguous relationship with Yang Wei.

“Sigh, Elder Jing was always cold-hearted, especially toward the male disciples… just what is so special about Yang Wei,” Lian Xinyue complained as she went back to her tent since she feared that Elder Jing might punish her with another Stomach Killer.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing continued to inspect the punching from Yang Wei with a solemn expression.

“Although you’re improving rapidly, we don’t really have much time due to the unexpected demon’s outbreak. Hence, you must utilize every opportunity you can to become stronger,” Elder Jing said.

“Un, I understand Elder Jing. I would strive my best to master the Octane Punch,” Yang Wei nodded as he continued to train faster.
