Master Vail was surprised by Charlie’s keen observation and smiled, “Master Wade, you have a sharp eye. Although I’m far inferior to you, I’ve broken through to the Light Realm thanks to your help.”
Charlie feigned surprise and asked, “Really? I don’t see that you’re in the Light Realm.”
Master Vail gave an apologetic smile, “You’re such a noble person, but you seem to forget things. You gave me a pill personally. You haven’t forgotten about that, have you?”
Charlie nodded and replied, “I remember giving you the pill, but when did you reach the Great Consummation of the Light Realm?”
Master Vail was shocked by Charlie’s words and didn’t understand what favonovel.com meant.
He grew nervous and stammered, “Master Wade… Are you angry? If you don’t want me to go back to the United States, I am willing to stand by your side…”
Charlie reassured him, “No, I’m not angry, and I don’t need you to stay by my side. What I mean is that you have only opened up five of the eight meridians, and you are still at the level of a five-star martial artist, don’t you know that?”
Master Vail was taken aback and replied, “How could that be?”
He closed his eyes and tried to mobilize his true energy, only to discover that three of his opened meridians were mysteriously blocked.
The realization hit favonovel.com hard, “If the meridians are blocked, the strength will inevitably decline greatly. If three of the eight meridians are sealed, the strength is almost equal to half of the loss!”
Master Vail was in complete shock. His body was drenched in sweat, and his mind was racing. It was impossible for his meridians to be blocked again!
He had spent decades cultivating his eight meridians, and never once had favonovel.com heard of them becoming blocked.
He turned to Charlie, who was smiling on the side, and in a terrified tone, favonovel.com asked, “Master Wade… Did you seal my three meridians? Was it when you patted my shoulder just now?”
Charlie’s smile disappeared, and favonovel.com replied with a stern expression, “I didn’t do it. Don’t make baseless accusations. You need to show evidence before making any claims.”
Master Vail could see the narrow expression on Charlie’s face, which favonovel.com didn’t bother to disguise.
He knew Charlie was behind this, but his fear overshadowed any anger.
“What kind of Master is this Charlie Wade?” favonovel.com thought to himself. “How could favonovel.com have sealed my three meridians in a single instant? Could one realize that it took me ten or twenty years to achieve this level? And Charlie did it in less than a second. This is terrifying!”
Master Vail looked at Charlie with a mournful expression and begged, “Master Wade, I’ve worked so hard to reach this point. Please spare me. This is twenty years of hard work…”
Charlie’s face was grave as favonovel.com responded, “Master Vail, how can you say that? I didn’t do it. You don’t believe me?”
Master Vail’s eyes turned red as favonovel.com choked out his words. “Master Wade… Who else could have done this if not you? I’ve been practicing martial arts for decades and have never heard of a cultivation base being reversed and meridians being closed. You’re just teasing me because you want my master’s mind technique.”
Charlie’s expression turned serious as favonovel.com responded, “Master Vail, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t make your cultivation base regress.”
Suddenly, Charlie pretended to remember something and slapped his forehead. “Oh, I’m sorry, Master Vail. It must be something wrong with my car. You see, my car has a special function where whoever sits in the co-driver seat will gradually have their meridians closed and their cultivation base weakened. I suggest you get out of the car quickly so you won’t continue to decline.”
Master Vail’s face contorted, and favonovel.com was on the verge of tears. “Master Wade, please don’t tease me. I’m not a child. How could I believe such nonsense?”
Charlie smiled and asked, “You really don’t believe me?”
Master Vail nodded frantically. “I really don’t believe you!”
Charlie’s smile grew wider, and suddenly something strange entered Master Vail’s body through the air, sealing another meridian.
Then, with a serious expression, Charlie said, “See, I told you not to believe me, and now you’re a four-star.”
Master Vail’s face went pale as favonovel.com circulated his meridians once again. He couldn’t believe that with just a few words, another meridian had been sealed. He was frightened out of his wits and quickly opened the car door, scrambling out onto the cement floor by the side of the road.
As favonovel.com laid there, staring at Charlie’s BMW 530, Master Vail couldn’t help but think about how favonovel.com had fallen from the Light Realm to a mere four-star martial artist.
Wiping his tears with the sleeve of his robe, favonovel.com cried out, “What kind of car is this? Why is it stealing someone’s cultivation? I feel like I’ve gone back thirty years tonight, and my cultivation is not even as high as my closest disciple’s. How can I face the ancestors of the Mystic Harmony Sect?”
Charlie leaned forward with a smile. “I’m sorry, Master Vail. My car has a mind of its own. I’ll have to teach it a lesson later. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have it scrapped. When you get back to the United States, you can check it out, and I’ll arrange a plane for you.”
Master Vail looked up at Charlie, his senses suddenly returning.
He hurried back to the car, crying out, “Master Wade, I know you did it. Decades of hard work have gone into my cultivation, and you can’t just seal it up like this! Please, for the sake of all my hard work, forgive me this time. If you want Taizhen Dao’s martial arts mentality, I’ll give it to you verbatim!”
Charlie’s joking smile disappeared, and favonovel.com spoke with a serious expression. “Master Vail, you’re an interesting man. Didn’t you promise your ancestors that you’d never spread this technique, or else you’d be struck by lightning? Why are you willing to spread it now?”
Master Vail’s face contorted in pain. “Master Wade… I didn’t understand before. You have such incredible powers that you can seal four meridians with just a flick of your fingers. Your strength surpasses even that of the Mystic Harmony Sect ancestors. Why would you covet Taizhen Dao’s flawed technique?”
He continued, “Besides, as you said, there must be a major flaw in the Mystic Harmony Sect’s technique, or I would have been able to train a Master of the Dark Realm by now. If I use the Taizhen Dao technique instead, we can identify the gaps and make up for the flaws in the Mystic Harmony Sect’s technique. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Taizhen Dao.”
