Chapter 941 — The Startled Wei Zhao: You Might Call It a Passive Skill — When It Is Used, Both He and General Mighty Fall into a Passive State, Beyond Any Active Control!
"But isn't the energy inside me omnipotent? So if an opponent is wounded, will it actively absorb the energy inside General Mighty?" Wei Zhao suddenly thought of a rather terrifying possibility, and asked hurriedly.
If this skill was passive, then when someone else needed energy, would the same scene from today play out again?
"No!" Jiao Yazi blurted out a foreign word.
"Why 'no'?" Wei Zhao was somewhat at a loss.
"The Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Formula is in fact an all-purpose formula for converting energy. Through it, you can draw the energy of nature and of the jade pendant space into your body, transform it into the true qi you need, and store it within yourself!" Jiao Yazi explained. "But others cultivate differently from you, so the kind of true qi their bodies require is naturally different too. The reason your energy is called omnipotent is that through the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Formula you can convert it into whatever energy you need to produce—which is why you can heal the wounded. But General Mighty does not know the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Formula; the energy inside it will forever be your own energy. Apart from you, no one else can use it at all, because it cannot convert."
"So that's how it is!" Wei Zhao grasped the principle in a flash. No wonder the energy within General Mighty's body could be used by him without being transformed through the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Formula—because it was his own energy to begin with!
General Mighty had never cultivated true qi on its own, so whatever Wei Zhao had given it, that was what it had.
Others, however, were different. Without the conversion of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Formula, no one else could use Wei Zhao's true qi energy.
"Good thing you held something back, or this really would have been trouble!" Jiao Yazi said with feeling. "Still, all things are fated in the dark; so long as you passed the crisis smoothly, that is enough."
"Heh, but with General Mighty, I've gained one more trump card to save my life. It seems the true qi bomb can still be used after all…" A trace of a smug, cold smile crossed the corner of Wei Zhao's mouth. With this card in hand, he could fight experts several levels above him!
"Still, you'd best not use it, if you can avoid it." Jiao Yazi shook his head.
"Hm?" Doused with cold water, Wei Zhao was momentarily stunned.
"First, if the blast goes wrong and blows straight into your heart or your head, then you needn't bother waiting to ask that dog for energy—you'll be dead on the spot," Jiao Yazi said.
"Uh…" Wei Zhao smiled bitterly and nodded. Indeed, this true qi bomb was dangerous, the sort of thing that harmed others without benefiting oneself—essentially a mutual-destruction ultimate move.
"Second, if one blast fails to kill your opponent, your opponent will kill you," Jiao Yazi said. "So I advise you to take cultivation and the raising of your strength as the proper path. As for these crooked tricks, use them as little as you can, unless you truly have no other choice!"
"I understand!" Wei Zhao nodded. "You're right. Only an increase in strength is true strength. Tricks like these are all right when used in a moment of desperation, but keep using them and you harm both others and yourself!"
"Heh, it's good that you can see it clearly…" Jiao Yazi smiled and nodded, gratified.
Beside Wei Zhao, General Mighty was swiftly absorbing the energy flowing from Wei Zhao's body. It nestled against Wei Zhao's side in utter comfort, savoring the nourishment of that energy.
Before this, General Mighty's heart had nearly exploded from fright! It had merely been reluctant to part with Wei Zhao and wanted one last bit of closeness with him, yet never expected that the instant it touched Wei Zhao's body, the energy within it would be irresistibly drawn away by Wei Zhao!
Though General Mighty did not know what was happening, by instinct it was terrified! Earlier, it had taken an unknown kind of energy from Wei Zhao into its body, and that had made it incomparably powerful—one kick could kill a man!
And now that energy was surging back into Wei Zhao's body. How could it not be afraid?
Yet General Mighty never once thought of struggling to escape. Frightened as it was, when it saw the inexplicably comfortable expression on Wei Zhao's face, it knew that what was happening now was probably beneficial to Wei Zhao!
General Mighty was a loyal dog. Its life had been saved by Wei Zhao, and all of its strength had been given by Wei Zhao; so if Wei Zhao wanted it back, then let him take it back whenever he wished! General Mighty was afraid, but it had not a word of complaint!
So General Mighty held on until the very last thread of energy in its body had surged into Wei Zhao, and only then did it faint away in a daze. It did not know whether it would live, but if Wei Zhao could recover, then he could protect Yaoyao and Xiaoshu!
How long had passed, it did not know, but when General Mighty woke again, what astonished it was that the familiar energy—the energy that could make its strength soar—was once more pouring endlessly from Wei Zhao into its body! It was much like the first time it had received the energy, except that this time Wei Zhao was lying down, as though deep asleep…
By reflex, General Mighty assumed that it had simply absorbed back the energy it had poured into Wei Zhao, and was about to leap away—only to discover in shock that it could not leap away, its body seemingly glued to Wei Zhao's!
General Mighty was badly startled, but when it saw that Wei Zhao's complexion was rosy as usual, with nothing amiss about him, it settled back down quietly once more and accepted the nourishment of the energy flowing from Wei Zhao's body…
How much more time passed, it did not know, but General Mighty began to feel uncomfortable, for it clearly sensed that the energy within its body had very nearly reached saturation—yet the energy sent from Wei Zhao kept surging into it without end.
"Boom—" General Mighty's hackles exploded! It felt as though Wei Zhao's energy had filled it until it burst…
The next moment, it knew nothing at all, and fainted dead away beside Wei Zhao…
This time, it gave Wei Zhao, inside the jade pendant space, a great fright as well. He had not known how much energy General Mighty needed to recover, so he had kept sending it without cease—so long as the other side could receive, he poured it in. In the end he failed to control the amount, and blew General Mighty up…
Wei Zhao hurriedly returned from the jade pendant space to reality, and felt General Mighty over. Discovering that its heartbeat and pulse were normal, and that it had merely fainted, he breathed a sigh of relief… But the next moment, the look on Wei Zhao's face turned strange again!
