Xu Wei was short and fat, but he had an imposing aura. After seeing me come out, he revealed a sneer and said to me, "Yesterday, I told you to hand over the Mysterious Yin Leaf. Otherwise, I'll personally come to get it … Since you didn't hand over the Mysterious Yin Leaf, it means that you're ready to fight me. Please."
With that, he waved his hand and the corpse puppet behind him stepped forward, glaring at me like a tiger watching its prey.
At this moment, Jiang Dong Cheng appeared out of nowhere and quickly waved his hand to plead with Xu Wei. "Senior Brother Xu, Junior Brother Wang was going to deliver it to you, but it was too late yesterday and I didn't make it in time. Please wait, please wait."
After he said that, he saw that Xu Wei didn't respond, so he quickly ran in front of me and winked at me, hinting for me to give in.
Although this person was good at currying favor, he still had a good heart at this time. My impression of him changed a lot, but I didn't plan on doing as he said.
I smiled and shook my head. I walked past him and said to Xu Wei, "Heavenly treasures naturally belong to the virtuous. If Senior Brother Xu wants the Mysterious Yin Leaf, you have to defeat me first."
I was too lazy to waste any more words and called out to the evil sacrificial spirit, indicating for him to stall Xu Wei's corpse puppet. I also made my move. I chanted a spell and the Yin energy in my body gathered in front of my chest, forming an arrow that shot toward Xu Wei.
When dealing with people that cultivate Yin energy, the Earth Overturning Stamp and Pure Yang Ye Fire had a strong restraining effect. But now that I was Wang Lin, I couldn't use those methods. I could only use the techniques that I learned from the Corpse Sect's Yin Refining Technique. The Yin energy I used was limited to the amount of Yin energy that my pupil had given me, which was equivalent to hitting five of my acupoints.
Although this technique was something I had just learned, as a peak Glorious Knowledge cultivator, my control of power was much better than Xu Wei's. Adding on the advantage of the Heavenly Yin energy in my pupil, Xu Wei had no chance of being my opponent.
In fact, this was indeed the case. The speed of the Yin Qi arrow was extremely fast. In an instant, it was only five feet away from Xu Wei.
He was obviously startled. He took out a small skull-like object from his body and threw it at the arrow. In an instant, the skull exploded, and a ghostly fire burned most of the arrow. Only an inch of the tail of the arrow was left in front of his face. He reached out and caught it in his palm.
Even though his attack had not been effective, Xu Wei could tell that something was wrong. The calm expression on his face dissipated, and he turned to call for his Corpse Puppet.
He had only reached the Sealed Acupoint Seven Acupoints yesterday. In terms of cultivation alone, he had no advantage over me. The reason why he dared to come to me with such great fanfare was most likely because of his Corpse Puppet that had reached the Sealed Acupoint Nine Acupoints.
Unfortunately, the evil sacrificial spirit was an existence even more terrifying than me. Although he had only reached the Sealed Acupoint Seven Acupoints, his skills were really hard to deal with. Xu Wei's Corpse Puppet had been attacking him for a long time, but it couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes. He was so angry that he stood there and screamed.
Just as Xu Wei was about to call his Corpse Puppet to deal with me, the evil sacrificial spirit dashed forward and grabbed the Corpse Puppet's arms, binding it tightly.
At this moment, the corpse puppet could finally attack the evil sacrificial spirit. It didn't even care about Xu Wei's call. It swung its arms and slapped the evil sacrificial spirit.
However, the evil sacrificial spirit immediately let go and dodged to the side, continuing to dodge.
When the Corpse Puppet wanted to leave again, it turned its head and came back to tangle with it.
Under this kind of guerilla warfare, the Corpse Puppet was exhausted. Xu Wei was so anxious, but he had no other choice. His face was no longer calm. He was flustered and exasperated.
I faintly smiled and read the spell. With the support of the huge amount of Yin energy in my eyes, I shot three Yin energy arrows at Xu Wei.
His expression changed drastically. He dodged left and right, barely managing to neutralize two arrows. However, he was unable to block the third arrow. His body shrank back with great difficulty, and then his right shoulder was pierced through.
A muffled groan escaped from his mouth. Xu Wei hugged his shoulders as he retreated a few steps. He looked at me with a face full of shock. Obviously, he hadn't expected this result.
Not only him, but Jiang Dongcheng, who wasn't far from him, and the people who had come out to watch the fun from the nearby caves were also shocked. They looked at me in disbelief.
Yesterday, during the teacher's exam, I appeared out of nowhere. Today, I defeated Xu Wei. In just two short days, I had become the center of attention in the temple. This didn't match my original intention of hiding in the Corpse Sect. However, yesterday, Jiang Dongcheng told me that the Corpse Sect didn't prohibit disciples from killing each other. After carefully analyzing the situation, I decided that I couldn't just endure Xu Wei's provocation.
Xu Wei's background was deep. After being targeted by him, it would be very difficult for me to escape. Even if I secretly killed him, I couldn't guarantee that the family behind him wouldn't find out. However, in this kind of open competition, it didn't matter if I injured or killed Xu Wei. With the Corpse Sect's rules, no one would be able to do anything to me.
Moreover, in terms of cultivation, my Heavenly Yin energy had been shown at the Yin Energy Stele yesterday. It was slightly higher than Xu Wei's, so winning against him was completely within reason.
As for the corpse puppet, although Xu Wei was stronger than Wang Lin, there was a limit to how strong he was. He had only sealed nine of my acupoints, so it was normal for him to be stalled by my corpse puppet for ten minutes.
Therefore, although Xu Wei seemed to be much stronger than me, it was just a facade. It was normal for me to win against him. Some people might doubt it, but after a bit of analysis, their doubts disappeared.
Of course, I didn't have any intention of killing him. After all, he had a Heaven's Master realm father. Once I killed him, it would anger his father. We currently didn't have the strength to deal with him.
Xu Wei, whose face was covered in bruises, remained silent for over a minute. Afterwards, he waved his hand to call back his corpse puppet. With a hateful expression, he looked at me and said angrily, "Fine, you little brat, you've made a fortune in silence. You actually have such a high cultivation.
However, with your strength, you should be able to go to the temple to cultivate soon. I'll find you at that time! "
Of course, I didn't take his words to heart. Without waiting for him to finish, I shook my head at him and called for the evil sacrificial spirit to return to the cave.
After returning, I sat cross-legged on the bed and began to ponder.
After this matter, I suddenly realized that my plan of staying silent for a while wasn't very appropriate. As a disciple of the Corpse Sect, there would always be many missions given to me by the sect. I would also have to interact with other people and the risk of being exposed would always exist.
Instead, it would be better for me to be in the limelight and become a dazzling figure. Only then would I be able to hide my true identity.
That was why when I accidentally became the 'Pure Yin Bloodline' that Palace Head Liu mentioned yesterday and became his disciple, it was actually a good thing. This also included the matter with Xu Wei today.
It wouldn't be long before the news of me defeating Xu Wei would spread throughout the entire temple. When everyone's attention was focused on my body, they would forget about me.
In that case, I couldn't keep a low profile and should be as high profile as possible. This was the way to establish myself.
After thinking this through, my heart relaxed. I went to find a piece of paper and a pen. I wrote down the three Corpse Sect martial arts techniques that I had obtained from Wei Sanpeng and Wang Lin's minds. I planned to study them in order to deceive people in the future.
The morning quickly passed. In the afternoon, Jiang Dongcheng came to find me again.
His attitude was different from before. This time, when he saw me, he grinned and shamelessly came over. He first flattered me, then, with a frightened expression, he apologized to me. He said that he was muddle-headed before and that he had bullied me. He begged for my forgiveness.
Originally, I hated this person from Wang Lin's memories. But after all, those things happened to Wang Lin and he also helped me with the matter with Xu Wei. I didn't hold any grudges against him, so I smiled at him and told him to let bygones be bygones.
Hearing my answer, Jiang Dongcheng's face was filled with gratitude. He kept thanking me and became much more intimate with me.
He also promised me that if I had any problems in the future, I could always ask him for help. Although his strength wasn't good, he had been in the Corpse Sect for a long time. There were a lot of troublesome things that he would be able to do better than me.
Hearing him say this, my heart was moved.
