Chapter 133 – Electrocuting Houseflies
For dinner, they decided to go for take out. Although they had all the usual seasonings in the kitchen, their refrigerators were completely empty.
After eating dinner. Wei Xiao Bei happily took a bath and comfortably lied down on his bed afterwards.
Wei Xiao Bei did not plan on going back to The Dust World at this moment.
There was a cooldown for entering the Dust World.
Wei Xiao Bei had confirmed it over the past two months.
After leaving The Dust World, it was impossible to enter again within 24 hours.
At the moment, he was currently observing the inside of his room. His high perception had given him the ability to perceive unusual things that normal people would not be able to.
From beginning to end, Wei Xiao Bei felt that there was something wrong with his room. The room had the slight scent of The Dust World. However, after a long time, he could not find anything substantial, so he gave up.
In the morning of the next day, Wei Xiao Bei did not wait for the other two to wake up and returned back to the dojo.
His master was going to visit an old friend today in the neighboring city, Yin City, which was 160 km away. His third senior apprentice brother also accompanied his master as his driver. As for his big senior apprentice brother, he had already left the dojo in the morning due to some matters. Adding to the fact that it was not a weekend, there were no students there. As a result, only Wei Xiao Bei was left behind in the Cheng Clan Dojo.
Wei Xiao Bei did not have any complaints about this. On the contrary, he felt relieved. He directly went in the storehouse, turned on the grinding wheel, and began working on the large jaw.
The Sacred Beetle Jaw was not as tough as the Citizen of Long Bo’s Leg Hair. After an hour, Wei Xiao Bei had finished grinding and cutting the jaw, turning it into a machete.
Just from looking at the quality, the machete made from the jaw did not seem to be any better than an alloy-made machete. However, it was superior due to the fact that it could be brought into The Dust World.
Sacred Beetle Machete (substandard sharpness).
The description after it made it clear that its sharpness was a lot more inferior to the White Mist Knife.
However, the benefit of the machete was in dealing with large groups of weak enemies.
Bajiquan did not only have fist techniques and spear techniques, there were also blade techniques, and there were quite a lot of them.
However, Wei Xiao Bei only knew one of Bajiquan’s blade techniques.
Elevating Willow Blade!
This technique was the skill that started up Bajiquan in Wuzhong. Because this skill was incredibly strong, it was strictly not allowed to be transferred to people outside of Bajiquan, but was also not even taught to normal disciples.
In reality, although Cheng Bi Wu was a Bajiquan master, he had begun to study Bajiquan since he was a child. Being able to learn this technique was very surprising.
As Cheng Bi Wu’s personal disciple, Wei Xiao Bei had also learned of the technique. The only problem was that Wei Xiao Bei had placed most of his attention towards spear techniques and fist techniques. He had only remembered the technique, but had never tried it.
After placing the final touches on the machete, Wei Xiao Bei closed the storehouse door behind him and walked towards the practice grounds. He cupped his fists, composed himself, and began training.
With Wei Xiao Bei’s current Bajiquan level, grasping the blade techniques would not be hard.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The light reflecting off the blade flashed beautifully. Wei Xiao Bei tried playing out the entire technique from beginning to end based on his memory. After doing that once, he placed the blade at his side and closed his eyes, replaying it in his mind. Soon, he once again brandished his blade to train.
After practising the sequence a few times, Wei Xiao Bei’s clumsiness with the blade gradually decreased. By noon, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet perfected the technique, but he had become quite adept at it.
Wei Xiao Bei could already cut a falling leaf with a single slice.
After using a clean cloth to wipe the machete clean, he wrapped it up with the same cloth.
The machete was around 90 centimeters. It was not long a very long blade nor was it short. However, it was still a weapon, so he could not just strut around with it in the streets. In the end, he had wrapped it up in a few more layers of newspaper, making it in the shape of a stick. Only then did he leave the dojo.
When returning to his apartment, he smelled a fragrant scent coming from the kitchen as soon as he opened the door.
Hearing the door open, Zhang Tian Tian came out from the kitchen and saw Wei Xiao Bei. Her face blushed, “You have returned?”
Wei Xiao Bei naturally liked a beautiful girl like Zhang Tian Tian, but he had his principles. If he was not in a position to reciprocate feelings, then he would try not to make her his.
Against reason, Zhang Tian Tian’s voice and words currently sounded like a wife welcoming her husband home. This had slightly shaken Wei Xiao Bei’s mind, immediately giving him a headache.
Zhang Tian Tian had even went to help him change his slippers.
Wei Xiao Bei was slightly unable to endure the passion that arose within him.
Wei Xiao Bei could only try to imagine it with his mind. If his current position was slightly better, he would have pushed her down the bed regardless of the consequences!
However, this was only his imagination. Even if he could truly do it, he still wouldn’t do it.
“Lunch is ready. Where did you run off to? Come set the table and take the dishes!”
Li Lan Xing’s slightly flustered voice came from the kitchen and startled Zhang Tian Tian, making he look a little like a rabbit. Despite only having changed one slipper, she immediately ran back to the kitchen.
Wei Xiao Bei bitterly smiled as he changed the remaining slipper. The slipper was small but new, so it should be ones bought by the girls.
When Wei Xiao Bei entered the living room, he saw that the two of them were serving the dishes.
“Xiao Bei you came back. Go get some rice. The bowls are already clean.”
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei, Li Lan Xing immediately prompted him with an air of a capable independent woman.
After getting the rice and grabbing a pair of chopsticks, the three of them ate at the dining table.
Wei Xiao Bei was slightly amazed. He originally thought that they were bad at cooking, but he never imagined that they were able to make three dishes and one soup.
They had made pork strips stir-fried with yuxiang, stir-fried bean curd in chili sauce, garlic sauteed water spinach, and tofu soup. This was the classic szechuan cuisine that was usually cooked at home.
This tastes good!
“Amazing! I couldn’t tell at all that the both of you were this skillful!”
Wei Xiao Bei praised and ate without reserve, sampling every dish.
“The dishes were made by Sister Lan. I only cooked the rice.”
Zhang Tian Tian did not take all the credit, but instead, her cheeks blushed as she explained.
Zhang Tian Tian looked like a girl from a pampered family, being able to cook rice was already not bad. At the very least, it was not half-cooked.
Li Lang Xing smiled as she tapped Zhang Tian Tian with her chopsticks, “What are you explaining for. Hurry up and eat. Didn’t you say that you had need to go to work at 2 o’clock.”
“Ah. Right!”
Zhang Tian Tian did not pay attention to being ladylike anymore. Her table manners could not compare to Wei Xiao Bei, but it was a bit like a masculine woman. This had truly opened Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes.
Li Lan Xing did not rush while eating. She even had a slight bit of grace while eating.
After lunch, the two women quickly returned back to their offices and Wei Xiao Bei took on the responsibility of cleaning the dishes.
After washing the dishes, he made himself a cup of tea and sat down on the balcony, drinking the tea to aid digestion.
The weather was not bad as the sun shone brightly from above. However, it was not at all hot even as the rays shone on his body. The wind blew a warm air, making Wei Xiao Bei fall asleep.
However, not long after, a few buzzing house flies in the air appeared close to him, and landed on his head.
Crackle!
Electric current leapt out, shocking the houseflies that had just landed.
The house flies landed on the ground, smoking.
Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes with displeasure. Before the house flies landed on him, they had already awakened him. As a result, those houseflies met with misfortune.
Seeing the houseflies that were electrocuted on the ground, Wei Xiao Bei frowned. He lightly dipped his index finger and middle finger into the tea. He pulled his fingers out and slowly separate them. In that instant, a blue electric arc jumped up, but as the distance increased, the blue arc disappeared.
483 volts was still too low of an amount.
Wei Xiao Bei sighed. He needed more evolution points to level up his release electricity ability, his attributes, his Bajiquan, and other abilities.
After his intuition had grown, Wei Xiao Bei had a slight premonition that the relationship between The Dust World and the real world was not that simple. A slight fear came from within him. The pressure this fear gave him spurred him to continue on the path of becoming stronger. Even the physiological needs every normal man had, were weakened due to this pressure.
If I further increased my intuition, would I be able to see through the relationship between the two worlds?
After thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bie felt a bit anxious. He pushed away the chair and stood up while doing his breathing techniques to calm himself down. He looked into his Dantian and urged his Qi to move through his acupuncture points.
The Shen Que Acupuncture Point was newly opened so he was not in a hurry to open another. Moreover, as the Qi moved through his body, the blood channels had become slightly more stabilized. And then he moved his Qi towards the Xia Wan Acupuncture Point that was 2 inches below the navel.
Wei Xiao Bei was now experienced, not like before. He planned to first open the blood channel, enlarge it, and stabilize it before opening the acupuncture point.
With his experience, it took him just five tries to open the path.
He stopped his Qi in the Xia Wan Acupuncture Point and stopped training.
As he opened more acupuncture points, he felt his mind become clearer every time. After moving his Qi, he rarely had any headaches and the diarrhea side-effect from reaching the Xia Wan Acupuncture Point had decreased.
Wei Xiao Bei understood this was the result of his blood channels stabilizing.
After going to bathroom to get rid of his impurities, Wei Xiao Bei returned to his bedroom while looking at the bottles of Cui Hu Ten Year Liquor lined up in his cabinet. He couldn’t help let out a bitter smile. As his drinking capacity increased, who knew how much it would take to get him drunk in the future.
