Primordial Cultivator

"Jing Feng, we should take a break," Yang Wei shouted as he blocked another strike from Elder Jing.

CLANK!

The sword collided and without any surprises, Yang Wei was once again pushed back.

Sweats had already been trickling down his entire body whereas Elder Jing remained completely clean, almost like she didn't do any sparring at all.

"You gave up this easily?" Elder Jing teased as she stayed in her position.

Her Jadeite sword was blinking brightly and trembled slightly from Elder Jing's hand, almost like it wasn't ready to be sheathed.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei smiled bitterly at Elder Jing's eagerness in destroying him completely.

'We have been doing nothing but sparring for 3 whole days and I can't even rest properly.' Yang Wei cried inwardly as he wondered what got into Elder Jing.

She was never an excited cultivator to enjoy fighting a lot and would prefer spending her time in alchemy or some other things that do not require her to move around.

However, these past 3 days, Elder Jing seemed to change into a completely different person, one that is crazed about sparring at any moment.

Yang Wei would have gladly sparred with her if he wasn't a punching bag most of the time.

"Jing Feng, aren't you just bullying me for being a thief?" Yang Wei stood up and asked in a pitiful tone.

"I'm not bullying you," Elder Jing quickly shook her head.

"I'm just training you to become stronger," Elder Jing shouted afterward as she quickly dashed toward Yang Wei with her movement technique.

Yang Wei turned pale as he quickly tried to dodge aside from Elder Jing's front assault.

Alas, his speed was only futile in front of an expert like Elder Jing.

Elder Jing soon caught up to Yang Wei and started kicking his back to push him down.

Afterward, Elder Jing smirked and said, "Yang Wei, how come you're getting weaker as we continued to spar? You need to gain more stamina and strength."

Yang Wei struggled to get up as he cursed inwardly, 'Damn it, just you wait for the day that I become stronger than you, Jing Feng.'

Yang Wei vowed to punish Elder Jing thoroughly when he became stronger than her, even if the chance of that happening is near impossible.

"Jing Feng, don't you dare regret your action," Yang Wei threatened to get his revenge on Elder Jing while he was still pinned down by Elder Jing's foot.

Elder Jing chuckled softly at the threat from Yang Wei that seemed more like a little kid crying to their mother about not buying them candies.

'Ai, this Yang Wei is really hilarious,' Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly as she kicked Yang Wei's stomach, causing him to crash into a nearby tree.

"Stop acting weak and stand up already," Elder Jing shouted, causing Yang Wei to shake his head with a bitter smile.

Yang Wei slowly stood up and unlike previously where he seemed to be weakened, he appeared energetic.

"Sigh, what's the point in sparring if all you're going to do is use your cultivation base advantage on me," Yang Wei complained shortly after as he raised his sword up.

He has tried to spar with her before but every time he was about to land a perfect hit on her, Elder Jing would use her cultivation base to delay his action slightly to dodge.

Such cheating moves have rendered the sparring to be pointless, to begin with when one should be at an equal level of strength to spar.

Elder Jing ignored his complaint as she continued to assault Yang Wei, causing Yang Wei to increase his pace in blocking gradually.

The sparring continued for another full week where Yang Wei would only eat, spar, eat, and then back to sparring. There was barely any break for Yang Wei to rest enough before having to face Elder Jing's sword technique.

Sometime later, Yang Wei was already able to block Elder Jing's relentless strike without rest and seemed to become efficient in seeing her movement.

Elder Jing strikes Yang Wei a few more times before stopping her movement.

"Phew, that's enough sparring for today," Elder Jing said as she sheathed her Jadeite sword.

Afterward, Elder Jing walked toward Yang Wei and gave him a pill to consume as usual.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei grabbed the pill without hesitation as he consumed it.

"Why did we end the sparring early today?" Yang Wei then asked.

"It's because your body is already used to fighting against a Nascent Soul realm. Hence, there's no point in continuing fighting since it should be about time for you to break the bottleneck," Elder Jing smiled briefly as she touched on Yang Wei's pulse.

Elder Jing sensed the spiritual qi inside Yang Wei's body had started flowing smoothly, almost like a river being gushed to another location without any current.

"Breaking my bottleneck?" Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in surprise as he never thought the sparring they did was related to his bottlenecks.

He has been cultivating ever since they got evicted from the Pagoda but has already given up when his cultivation base seemed to stagnate.

However, through the sparring, without his notice, his body has been getting more agile and stronger, causing the spiritual qi that was stagnated to start flowing to each and every part of his body.

"Did you really think I'm some petty woman that would care about you being a thief?" Elder Jing scoffed as she smacked Yang Wei's head lightly for his slow thinking.

And she continued, "Your spiritual qi has been stagnating within your body because you couldn't find any cultivators in the same realm as you that could force you to push your body to the limit."

Yang Wei was dumbfounded to hear that he was stuck in a bottleneck because he couldn't find a better opponent.

Yang Wei pondered for a few moments before asking to clear his doubts.

"But didn't I kill some Nascent Soul realm cultivators back then?"
