BXBX NOVEL Chapter 102: Weak Spot
“You think this is just the final amount… there are even going to be more magical beasts spawning after we finish killing this batch,” Elder Jing said with an irritated tone.
She hated fighting more than anything yet this specific trial requires her to constantly fight.
‘Ugh, I will no longer pay my respect if I ever talk with Senior Zhong Guowei again,’ Elder Jing cursed inwardly and hoped he would meet with an unfortunate event every single time for putting her in this spot.
ROAR!
While Elder Jing was busy cursing, a magical beast launched itself toward her.
Yang Wei sneered at the action of this magical beast and used his movement technique to get closer before slashing him down with his sword.
Alas, the magical beast was merely pushed back without any hint of injuries in his body.
“These magical beasts sure are durable. My sword can’t even penetrate them despite my speed in catching it off guard,” Yang Wei mumbled softly as he glared at the magical beast.
At the same time, Yang Wei wondered if Elder Jing would regain her composure to fight.
He wasn’t strong enough to handle the horde of magical beasts without Elder Jing’s help and her vast experience in fighting.
“Elder Jing, are you okay?” Yang Wei asked as he deflected the magical beast’s sharp and ravenous claws.
“Yea, I’m okay… I’m merely still irritated by this constant barrage of magical beasts that seemed to have no end,” Elder Jing shouted.
Afterward, she kicked the ground lightly and leaped toward the magical beast that Yang Wei was struggling with and hacked it down with one slash, shocking Yang Wei for her sheer prowess and ease in the killing.
“S-Strong,” Yang Wei stuttered as he witnessed Elder Jing leaped toward another magical beast without rest and continued to kill them in one slash.
Despite having her cultivation base restricted all the way to the 5th Qi Condensation realm, the restriction didn’t seem to stop any of her strength and power.
Hence, Elder Jing has an easy time killing the magical beasts without much difficulty.
However, Elder Jing’s mood became gloomier as time passed because no matter how much she killed, the magical beasts continued to spawn more and more.
“Yang Wei, start killing the magical beasts already. You’re really being a disgrace for having a woman earning more kill count than you,” Elder Jing slashed one magical beast down before turning her head to stare at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he was trying his best to kill them but he didn’t have enough strength like Elder Jing to slice them in halves like butter.
‘Elder Jing, please stop comparing my ability with yours,’ Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he nodded his head.
“I understand Elder Jing, I will do my best to catch up,” Yang Wei shouted as he used the first strike of the sword technique.
SLASH!
The magical beast was sliced in half but Yang Wei could only shake his head at how much true qi he wasted to kill a single magical beast.
“Yang Wei, no wonder why your kill count is worse than my granny. You’re not even targeting the magical beast’s weak spot so of course, your sword won’t be able to penetrate their body.” Elder Jing commented when she took some of her time to glance at Yang Wei’s move.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei held a disbelief expression since he was mimicking her action and was following the angle she took to slice the magical beasts in half.
Yang Wei scratched his head slightly and asked, “What am I doing wrong Elder Jing? I was aiming at the spot that you did on the magical beast without missing a centimeter.”
“No wonder why you are hitting like a weak chicken,” Elder Jing leaped toward Yang Wei before smacking his head slightly.
“Your brain is constantly overthinking stuff and to think you were trying to copy my action.” Elder Jing said and raised her sword to an incoming magical beast.
“Watch carefully,” Elder Jing shouted.
Afterward, she dashed toward the magical beast before raising her sword to slice near the middle part of the magical beast. The sword was like a knife cutting through the butter as the magical beast had zero resistance.
Blood sprayed out from its body as he laid on the ground, dead. Yang Wei’s eyes flickered in excitement when he finally understood his problem.
Elder Jing flicked her sword slightly to get the blood off and turned around to look at Yang Wei.
“Seeing your excitement, I’m pretty sure you understand now right?” Elder Jing said.
Yang Wei nodded, “Yes, each magical beast’s body structure is different, meaning their weak spot can wary with some magical beast having their weak spot at the same area whereas some magical beasts have it in other areas.”
“Correct, the reason why I did I slash my sword at the magical beasts I kill was because all of them have their weak spot in the same area, making it easier for me to kill them since I don’t have to adjust anything.”
Elder Jing smiled briefly as she explained the reason why she went over to a specific location to bait the magical beasts toward her.
And she continued, “Hence, the reason why you have been struggling till now is that the magical beast you’re fighting has their weak spot located in some other areas.”
“Then how do you know where their weak spot is?” Yang Wei asked.
Elder Jing heaved a soft sigh as she couldn’t believe his dumb question. She glared at him fiercely, causing Yang Wei to shudder slightly.
“Yang Wei… you do realize in this cultivation world, everyone has true qi in their body, even the mortals have it too but they just don’t know the correct way to utilize it.” Elder Jing said, causing Yang Wei to become dumbfounded as he realized her meaning.
He should have used his true qi to sense their weak spot from the beginning and not simply mimicking Elder Jing’s action.
“Sigh, what a waste of energy and effort?” Yang Wei mumbled softly.
