Chapter 58: Bao Tong’s ‘Frustration’

Wang Xiaofei’s straightforwardness caught Bao Tong slightly off guard.

He had originally intended to tease Wang Xiaofei a bit, but at this moment, he felt somewhat hesitant to continue.

“Well, how has your training been going? Have you encountered any difficulties?” Bao Tong asked.

“Ah, I’m ashamed to say that at the beginning, everything was going well. However, recently, my progress in training has slowed down significantly,” Wang Xiaofei replied.

“Oh, I see. It’s a common situation. Tell me about your understanding of it,” Bao Tong said. When he was entrusted with the “Thunder Palm Technique” by the Thunder Martial Ancestor, he was also guided and believed he could offer some guidance to Wang Xiaofei.

“Well…” Wang Xiaofei pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then explained his recent training process. He described his understanding of the “Thunder Palm Technique,” as well as his insights into the “Heavenly Dao of Thunder and Lightning.”

As Wang Xiaofei spoke, Bao Tong’s facial expressions went through an extraordinary transformation.

At first, Bao Tong appeared relaxed, squinting his eyes and looking quite composed. But as he continued listening, his eyes gradually widened with surprise. Eventually, his expression turned into shock.

Suddenly, Bao Tong shouted, “Wang Xiaofei!”

He directly interrupted Wang Xiaofei’s explanation.

“Uh, elder…” Wang Xiaofei was a bit bewildered, staring at Bao Tong. He had been lost in his own memories and hadn’t paid much attention to Bao Tong’s reactions.

It was only now that he noticed a tinge of ferocity in Bao Tong’s expression!

“Wang Xiaofei, quickly demonstrate the ‘Thunder Palm Technique’ that you’ve been practicing to me!”

“Uh… okay.” Wang Xiaofei nodded and wondered why Bao Tong was making such a fuss about showcasing the “Thunder Palm Technique.” Wasn’t it just a matter of demonstrating it?

“Whirr.”

Wang Xiaofei unleashed a palm strike.

At first glance, it seemed unremarkable.

However, deep within Wang Xiaofei’s body, there were hidden thunderous energies, exuding an astonishing aura.

Following that, Wang Xiaofei executed a second strike.

And then a third…

He performed the entire set of the “Thunder Palm Technique” fluently, like flowing water. When he finished, he withdrew his stance and stood by the side.

At this point, he was surprised to see that Bao Tong’s expression had returned to normal, but his eyes were filled with fervor.

“Elder, could you please tell me where my problem lies?” Wang Xiaofei asked, feeling a bit confused.

“You, my boy, have a big problem,” Bao Tong said, pointing a finger at Wang Xiaofei, with a grave expression.

Wang Xiaofei became even more puzzled and concerned.

“Please, Elder, enlighten me,” Wang Xiaofei respectfully said.

“Very well, I’ll explain it to you,” Bao Tong folded his arms and assumed the appearance of a knowledgeable senior.

“When a practitioner advances from the Warrior Realm to the Martial Spirit Realm, they must make a breakthrough in the Heavenly Dao. However, even if one reaches the Martial Spirit Realm, it’s merely the threshold of touching upon the Heavenly Dao. If we consider the complete Heavenly Dao as a towering mountain, the understanding of the Heavenly Dao at the Martial Spirit Realm is like a tiny ant at the foot of that mountain, or perhaps even smaller than an ant.”

“However, everyone’s aptitude is different, so the threshold to break into the Martial Spirit Realm varies. Some people are like the tiniest of ants and can still reach the Martial Spirit Realm, while others must grow into larger ants before they can break through.”

“Put differently, let’s say we have two people. One is a skinny person who gets full after eating half a bowl of rice, and the other is a fat person who needs to eat four bowls of rice to get full. However, because the fat person eats more rice, their strength is much greater than the skinny person’s. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Bao Tong asked.

Wang Xiaofei nodded in understanding.

According to Bao Tong’s explanation, it meant that due to his innate talent, Wang Xiaofei had a higher threshold to enter the Martial Spirit Realm. However, once he reached the Martial Spirit Realm, his strength would be significantly greater than that of an average one-star Martial Spirit practitioner. This was indeed good news.

“So, you’re saying I’m the fat guy?” Wang Xiaofei grinned, seeking confirmation from Bao Tong.

“You’re damn right you’re a big fat guy!” Bao Tong couldn’t help but swear. In his heart, he marveled at the immense disparity between individuals.

“Wang Xiaofei, let me explain it this way. This ‘Thunder Palm Technique’ allows practitioners to sense the Heavenly Dao of Thunder and Lightning. Suppose it can sense ten aspects of the Heavenly Dao of Thunder and Lightning. Typically, for most practitioners, sensing three aspects is enough to break through to the Martial Spirit Realm. Among the disciples I’ve chosen, their aptitudes are excellent, with the majority breaking through at around five aspects. There are two who are probably around six aspects. But you, you’ve already reached ten and still haven’t broken through.”

As Bao Tong spoke, he became increasingly excited.

Wang Xiaofei’s talent was simply monstrous, to the point where Bao Tong felt a bit envious, and Wang Xiaofei remained clueless, worrying about his situation.

It was like a supermodel holding a designer purse, looking disgusted and saying, “I don’t like this color at all; it’s so ugly.”

Though Wang Xiaofei wasn’t doing it intentionally, Bao Tong still felt somewhat annoyed, which was why he had teased Wang Xiaofei by telling him he was in big trouble.

“Alright, I’ve explained a lot already, and there’s nothing more I can do to help you here. You can leave anytime,” Bao Tong waved his hand, his enthusiasm waning.

Wang Xiaofei also felt a bit reluctant to part ways.

After all, Bao Tong had provided him with a lot of help. But when he thought about it, he would soon return home. He could give the “Hydra Queen’s” demon core to his father, help him break through to the Martial Spirit Realm, and then go to Yaori City to see Lin Yue’er. Wang Xiaofei couldn’t wait.

“Well then,” Wang Xiaofei nodded.

“It’s just a pity. I originally thought I could break through to the Martial Spirit Realm before leaving, but I didn’t expect…” Wang Xiaofei said with regret. Now he wouldn’t be able to explain to his mother. He had promised that the next time he came back, he would be at the Martial Spirit Realm.

Hearing Wang Xiaofei’s words, Bao Tong was completely furious.

“You are already much stronger than an ordinary one-star Martial Spirit practitioner!!!” he roared, glaring at Wang Xiaofei.

He really couldn’t stand people who acted pretentious.

“Ah! Hehe, elder, calm down, calm down. I’m leaving now.”

“Whirr.”

Bao Tong waved his hand, and a spatial vortex appeared. Wang Xiaofei stepped into the vortex and, in the next moment, appeared outside the formation.

He respectfully saluted the dissipating vortex. Wang Xiaofei was still quite grateful to Bao Tong.

“Hmph,” came the dissatisfied voice of Bao Tong.

Indeed, ever since he met Wang Xiaofei, Bao Tong seemed to have a hard time dealing with him.

Turning around, Wang Xiaofei looked in the direction of Qingshan Town. He seemed to see the scene of his father breaking through. He was even more eager to get home quickly.

“Boom.”

Wang Xiaofei stomped his feet hard on the ground. He soared into the air like a big bird, flying at high speed in the direction of Qingshan Town.
