Stuck in a Chinese novel-Chapter 394: Anger

"Are you gonna tell me what happened to you in there?" The sect master asked as he and Wei Jun were leaving the military base after the meeting.

"No." Wei Jun simply replied.

"Sure." The sect master said before he asked, "Do you like what I got you?"

Wei Jun couldn't help but nod his head. Although there were a few things that could take his attention, Wei Jun couldn't help but admit what the military had provided him due to the sect master's backing was one of those few things.

[Sword of the Mountain King]

[Tier: S]

[Description: A sword smelted after using the entire body of the mountain king, barehanded defeated by a renowned swordsman who smelted the sword with his own Qi, melting the body and molding it to the sword

From the hilt to the tip, the sword is made entirely of the king of the mountains]

[Effect(s):

#1: Return damage +10%

#2 Damage reduction +10%

#3: Armor penetration +20%

#4: Lifesteal +10%

#5: Base User attack +20%]

[Required level: 400]

Wei Jun loved the sword in his hand but there was one short problem with all of that. And that was...

[You have leveled up x50]

The massive level-ups he obtained in the world of Arcadia after completing the quest which had popped out of nowhere. Wei Jun didn't believe in coincidences and he was sure that even though he obtained those levels rather easily, expending little effort, he was sure someone else would have to bear the brunt.

The one for who he had prepared all of that.

But even with all that, his current level was...

[Level: 396]

[AN(Author Note): I didn't know if I made a mistake in the previous chapters somewhere about the level and HP but this is the accurate one after an intense check-up of the previous chapters]

He was still four levels short before he could use the sword. He sighed and stored the sword in his inventory, looked at the sect master, and asked, "So? What do you want for this?"

"Quick to catch on, I see." The sect master said before he got to the main point, "Remember the sect takeover I mentioned inside, right?"

"Yeah." Wei Jun replied.

"I have a feeling you'll like the task I'm about to entrust you with." The sect master said with a grin on his face that, for some reason, excited Wei Jun.

As Wei Jun was leaving, he suddenly stopped. In his path stood none other than the old man who had displayed his immense authority inside the room.

"I didn't think Little Song would leave you alone. You're like a married couple." Liu Qianghua said.

Wei Jun didn't reply but he didn't bother putting up his guard as well. If the old man wanted to kill him, unfortunately, the current Wei Jun could only helplessly die.

He could see it. The flame emitting from the old man. The flame of Qi that he had been able to see after he reached the realm of a grandmaster. He was under the impression that the Generals were strong but he was wrong. They were nothing compared to the purity and denseness of this old man's Qi.

[Qi saint]

[Strength: 5129]

[Agility: 4893]

[Stamina: 4771]

[Qi: 10940]

What scared him even more was the rank of the old man. The very thing he was sure he wouldn't be able to compare to. No matter what he did, Wei Jun was sure he would die if the old man was to make a move on him. And those were his stats even when he hadn't activated any sort of skills. With Qi armament, Wei Jun was certain he would lose.

Compared to him, Wei Jun's stats were outright disappointing.

'Not for long.' But Wei Jun wasn't born to be oppressed. If not today, he'd defy the old man tomorrow, or after a week, or a month, or a year but a time will come when the old man would be standing in his place while Wei Jun would be the one to look down on him.

"What do you want?" Wei Jun asked.

"Quite impolite of you." The old man said with a chuckle before he asked, "Why don't you come to me? I can give you power beyond measure."

Wei Jun remained silent. Coming to him meant coming under him. Wei Jun couldn't have that.

"No." A straight answer. The old man wasn't looking for any excuses. He was old enough to know when Wei Jun would be lying, stalling, or just outright not with him. Wei Jun found truth to be a far better option than trying and lie.

"Why?" The old man asked.

Wei Jun looked at him and simply replied, "Because you're trying to limit me."

'Never let yourself be limited by anyone.' The words of his father. He had never allowed anyone to limit him based on those very few words.

But those few words had been what running his life. Wei Jun looked at the old man who remained silent and said nothing for quite a while before he simply began to walk, passing him as he entered the building behind Wei Jun all the while Wei Jun remained as he was.

Wei Jun only moved once he was gone. A slight sigh of relief couldn't help but leave his lips. Still, all things considered, he'd think the conversation ended a lot better than one would have thought when the person in question was a man like the old man.

Wei Jun slightly shook his head and began to walk, making his way to his car.

Just as arrived at his car, he saw someone familiar standing against the bonnet of his car. Looking at the familiar person, Wei Jun grabbed his stomach.

He gulped unconsciously and didn't move from his spot. Seeing him acting like that, Yan Rong clicked her tongue and said with obvious dissatisfaction in her tone, "Come over here. I won't kill you."

But she definitely thought of doing so.

Wei Jun took a deep breath and obediently made his way to the blue-eyed young woman who kept following him with her deep blue piercing eyes.

"Where were you?" Yan Rong asked.

"Inside a dungeon." Wei Jun quickly replied.

"Were you in danger?" Yan Rong asked with little to no emotion in his voice.

"No." Wei Jun simply replied.

Tan Rong nodded and moved forward, making Wei Jun take a step back involuntarily. She looked at him with her eyes piercing deep into his very soul as she said, "You move again, I'm gonna hit you."

"Yes, ma'am." Wei Jun replied as he remained in his spot. Yan Rong nodded and moved forward, putting her arms around Wei Jun's broad shoulders and enveloping him in a hug. She remained like that for a while, for about ten minutes, and in all those ten minutes, Wei Jun only returned the hug by locking his arms around her, nothing else.

She took a few deep breaths before she backed away, releasing Wei Jun from her hold and Wei Jun did the same.

"What we're gonna do is right now is we're gonna eat. A lot. And then you're not sleeping for a couple of days." Yan Rong said as she made her way to the passenger side of the car, leaving Wei Jun to follow her with his eyes as a smile clung to his lips.

However, before she could enter the car, she turned to Wei Jun and said, "Oh, and there's another one."

"Another one?" Wei Jun asked.

"Another beating you'll have to go through." Yan Rong replied before she got into her car.

Not being a dense person at all, Wei Jun immediately figured out what she was talking about and couldn't help but gulp once more.

"GAAAHHH!!!" A man yelled as he threw everything in the room on the ground, shattering whatever could be shattered and just throwing away what couldn't be.

"Calm down, will you?" A man sitting on the sole couch in the room said as he looked at the man showing his anger with contempt.

"Calm down? Calm down! HOW CAN I BE CALM!!!"

The second man winched at the shouts of the first man but didn't say anything about it. Instead, he said, "Relax. It's no big deal."

"No big deal? No big deal?! Can't you see that massive tear in time and space!!!? The laws are severely affected and all our placed cards have been mostly used!!!!" The first man was not showing signs of calming down in the least before he added, "AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS CAUSING ALL OF THIS!!!! THE HARD WORK OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS IS AT STAKE HERE."

"And yelling is gonna make everything okay." The second man calmly said before he stood up and walked out of the room, leaving a few words behind, "Don't worry. Our current card has found something to make him stronger than he was supposed to."

"What?" The first man asked but the second man only waved his hand as he left, leaving the angry man with nothing but questions.
