Stuck in a Chinese novel

While Wei Jun sat in his office, busy with the paperwork, his sensitive ears picked up the sound of a footstep. Ever since he started cultivation, Wei Jun could feel every small detail, like his senses had been enhanced so much that he could count the number of ants on the floor.

Wei Jun perked up but he didn\'t panic.

[\'Qi armament Lv2\' has been activated]

[Qi -55]

[Qi 175\\\\230]

He still activated the Qi armament though, an advice he had given Hui Ying when she came into the hotel. Wei Jun didn\'t activate the Qi empowerment though because that wasn\'t needed at the moment. His Qi was already limited and he had yet to check up on the effects and limitations of the Qi restoration pills.

Wei Jun calmly attended to the paperwork as the door to his office opened up and a man in a black outfit walked in. It was like a special ops suit, just like the one the people who ambushed Wei Jun were wearing while he was going through his trial.

The man was about five foot nine with a lean build, he didn\'t seem intimidating at all but like a friendly gentleman who had never hurt a person. He calmly took the seat opposite Wei Jun and said, "You might wanna stop doing that."

"Give me one good reason I should?" Wei Jun asked as he kept his head down and remained focused on the paperwork.

"Your life, for once." The man said as he waved his hand, signaling behind Wei Jun\'s head, out the window behind Wei Jun, and soon, a bullet pierced his desk. Wei Jun remained calm as he said, "That\'s it?"

The man chuckled and said, "So you\'re the bastard that\'s giving my junior sister trouble. She told me you were one stubborn man."

Wei Jun chuckled and asked, "Does Elder Zhiang know you\'re here?"

The man chuckled in response as well, "It seems you\'re not as idiotic as you\'re made out to be. You know, after your embarrassment in the last admission test, we have a name for you, the \'End of Ruans\'."

"You have a terrible naming sense." Wei Jun remarked.

"But you have to look at it from my viewpoint. For centuries, the Ruan family has been a crucial and strong pillar for our sect yet that seemed to have ended with you." The man said.

Wei Jun smiled and said, "So getting rid of me is not just making Liu Yu\'s life easier but also removing a strong competitor." Wei Jun was spot on as the smile on the man only deepened at that. He repeatedly nodded and said, "Yes, it does. It wouldn\'t have been much of a problem but ever since Sun Ruan\'s advancement in cultivation, he has become ever more important to the sect."

Wei Jun nodded but didn\'t make any comment on that situation. He couldn\'t prolong the talk anymore; he was running out of time. His minute was almost up and he would have to use another 35 points of QP to recharge \'Qi armament.\'

With how low his Qi was, chatting and wasting time wasn\'t an option for him. He wanted the gist of the situation and he got it. Now all that remained was to kill these guys. Since Wei Jun wasn\'t aware of this attack, there wasn\'t much he could do to prepare. If he knew about it, he would have asked Hui Ying to be on the outside, dealing with the outside interference.

However, now that he was the only one to deal with this issue, he would have to be a little smart about it.

"You do know that if you kill me here, it would be very easy for Sun Ruan to find out." Wei Jun pointed out a fact that the man himself knew. He laughed and said, "True. Which is why I would be magnanimous and let you have a painful death in a peaceful and quiet environment."

[Qi empowerment realm]

[Strength 39]

[Agility 51]

[Stamina 48]

[Qi 132]

Wei Jun could understand why the man hadn\'t used his Qi until now despite being in the fourth stage of Qi, it was because he didn\'t want to leave a trace behind.

After Wei Jun\'s encounter with the mysterious cultivator in Shannau City who jumped at his helicopter, Wei Jun pondered why that man managed to find Wei Jun so quickly. His first guess was the presence of a spy but the system helped and informed him that the man must have followed his Qi traces before Wei Jun could begin to torture Hui Ying.

Precisely for the same reason, the man couldn\'t use Qi otherwise he risked leaving a trail behind that could be picked up by Sun Ruan. According to the system, a Qi grandmaster could easily hide his traces but this man was far from that level.

Wei Jun chuckled as he replied, "Thanks for the generous offer, but I\'m gonna have to decline."

Wei Jun didn\'t even grant the man a second before he leaped at him. His speed was greater than the man\'s and in other aspects of stats, except for the Qi, he was stronger.

However, Wei Jun wasn\'t that much faster than the man. The man could follow Wei Jun\'s movement although he had to expend his full effort and barely managed to raise his elbow to block Wei Jun\'s fist which might have been a bit of a bad move.

Although his agility wasn\'t that lower than Wei Jun\'s, his strength was. The fist strike along with proper technique managed to shatter the forearm of the man, not to a very startling degree, but it was safe to assume that Wei Jun\'s opponent now only had one arm.

Wei Jun\'s plan was to let them do their thing. Take him someplace else and kill them all at once.

However, Wei Jun couldn\'t resist the surprise attack and went in. Not to mention he wanted the man to leave a trace of the man\'s Qi behind. It was a perfect opportunity to make sure that Sun Ruan was occupied somewhere else for a while which might have been his goal in the long term but his short-term goal was to just kill this man as soon as possible.

"Gahh!!!" The man grunted in pain as he instinctively activated the Qi armament skill which was defensive Qi skill and attack skill combined. Just as he activated Qi armament, he realized swiftly that he had made a mistake but it was too late for that.

"You!!!" He yelled as he let out a punch accompanied by proper power at Wei Jun. Wei Jun knew he wouldn\'t be able to dodge that so he did what he had to.

[Qi empowerment has been activated]

[All physical stats +25]

Power rushed through Wei Jun as he swiftly used his left arm to block the incoming strike.

The man\'s fist collided with Wei Jun\'s and everything in their surrounding was blown away. The furniture, all of it collapsed, and the glass in the room, like windows, mirrors, and decorations all shattered.

The floor beneath their feet cracked as well but it still managed to keep itself intact. As for the assailant, he was surprised by the fact that his target had only slightly winced in pain.

As for the target himself, he was wincing in pain, but he winced a lot less than the actual pain in his forearm at that moment.

[HP -5]

The man\'s fist was covered in Qi and that had managed to scrape off Wei Jun\'s Qi armament to a great extent, delivering a great deal of damage to Wei Jun.

Wei Jun, however, learned a valuable lesson. Inevitably he had lesser Qi than the man but that didn\'t mean he should be stingy with its usage. Had he used Qi discharge in his first strike, his advantage would have been many times greater than the current moment.

Of course, Wei Jun didn\'t waste another second and immediately used the discharge skill using his right fist and let out his own attack. Easily, the man was able to block this one as well and unfortunately, the intended effect wasn\'t received.

For some reason, instead of penetrating the man\'s Qi armor, it dissipated on the armor like a shockwave being reduced by a shock absorber.

Still, that didn\'t mean the man didn\'t notice this small detail.

"You! How did you do that?" He asked, incredulous at the feat Wei Jun had pulled. With his experience, he could tell that Wei Jun was just at the Qi gathering realm, somewhere in the middle of it. Not a match for himself yet the skill he had just used was used by masters, Qi master level cultivators.

Before he could dwell on it even more, Wei Jun continued with his barrage of attacks, relentlessly and kept letting his Qi into the man\'s armor.

Although the man wasn\'t receiving any damage, it could also be seen that his armor was turning slightly yellow.

The man noticed that as well and he could tell that he was consuming almost 20% extra Qi to keep the Qi armament maintained.

However, before it could get to that point, Wei Jun ran out of Qi. All of his skills canceled and his speed became visibly slower.

The man didn\'t miss that opportunity and kicked Wei Jun, throwing him at the wall behind Wei Jun. Wei Jun\'s body broke through the wall and landed somewhere inside the building after going through many more walls.

[HP -21]

Wei Jun coughed blood as he noticed the drastic decrease in his health. The man hadn\'t had the chance to properly kick him otherwise the damage would have been a lot more. Wei Jun could have even died.

The man slowly emerged from the hole that Wei Jun left and said, "You should have used your Qi sparingly."

Wei Jun coughed blood once again but he still chuckled.

[A health pill has been consumed]

[A Qi replenishing pill has been consumed]

"Fu*k, I\'m loving this." Wei Jun said as he slowly stood up.
