Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 107: No limit but one (Bonus P.S)

I totally forgot to check the power stones this week because I was too focused on something personal. I didn't know I owed you guys a bonus chapter but here it is now. Sorry for the delay.

The night soon turned to the light of day. The actor team awaited Wei Jun in the gym at dawn but when he didn't come for a while, they were overjoyed, but also a little afraid. They were worried Wei Jun would pop up at any time and make them relive the hell from last evening.

Fortunately for them, he didn't. The actor team also got very angry at Xia Lu when she worriedly made her way to Wei Jun's room. They stopped her with words until they could but when she didn't, Quan Li apologized and knocked her out.

Though she had hit a bit too hard since now Xia Lu was staring daggers at her while they sat at the dinner table. However, she had another worry in her mind because Wei Jun was still in his room.

Lao Chen had assured them that he had checked on him himself and that Wei Jun was safe and sound. However, he couldn't come out for the time being.

While he hid the fact that he had witnessed Wei Jun cultivating, he didn't do the same when it came to someone else.

"Master, you would be happy to know that young master Ruan has awakened and now embarked on his journey as a cultivator." Lao Chen informed someone on the other end of the phone. In the first place, Lao Chen wasn't Wei Jun's butler but the butler of the Ruan family, and he was there to report on his doings to the patriarch of the family, Sun Ruan, to whom he was talking to at the moment.

"Hahahahahaha." A boisterous laughter came from the other end of the phone as Sun Ruan spoke up with pride but a hint of arrogance, "My blood had once again prevailed. After my daughter, now my grandson is also a cultivator."

There was no happiness in that laughter. Lao Chen, who had served the Ruan family for some time, could tell that Sun Ruan wasn't happy in the least for Wei Jun. He was just happy because his bloodline had continued as a cultivator. And now, he would also use Wei Jun to the fullest of his potential for the sake of the family and himself.

After all, that was the truth of Sun Ruan. Lao Chen continued for a moment, reporting on other things before he hung up the phone. He then turned to the villa and headed in and made his way to Wei Jun's room.

It had been quite some time when he saw Wei Jun cultivating so he must have finished by now. He knocked on the door but received no reply, he just entered after a few minutes and saw Wei Jun still on his bed, sitting cross-legged. The phenomenon of change in Wei Jun had been finished so there was no red skin or smoke coming out of him.

Still, Wei Jun was emitting light heat that Lao Chen could feel with his senses. He couldn't help but notice that Wei Jun was fully immersed in cultivation and not one cell of his mind was focused on his surroundings.

It was an amateur move but Lao Chen knew that Wei Jun was new to the cultivation. Otherwise, it was unwise for a cultivator to just focus on cultivating without taking appropriate measures for his surroundings.

'I will be sure to tell the young master that.' Lao Chen thought inwardly and simply stood guard. However, even after an hour, Wei Jun didn't wake up. If he counted the time, Wei Jun had been cultivating for three hours now. No one could do that.

Although he was oblivious to the fact that Wei Jun had been doing it since long before that, he was still impressed by the ability to be able to cultivate this long. However, Lao Chen wasn't the system. He took this fact as a sign of worry after a few minutes. If he was impressed before, now he was a bit terrified of the consequences.

Just as he was about to rush out of the room and contact Sun Ruan along with emergency services, Wei Jun slowly opened his eyes and stared at him with cold eyes that sent a chill down Lao Chen's spine.

He had seen those eyes before. The eyes of a predator, a killer. The same eyes that Wei Jun had two months ago. Only this time, there was something else in those eyes. Something burning. A perfect harmony of cold and blaze, making Lao Chen more afraid than facing a cultivator.

"What are you doing here?" Wei Jun asked in a chilled voice as if the answer of Lao Chen would decide his fate. Well, that was how it felt for Lao Chen, Wei Jun on the other hand was just mad that even after expending his effort completely into cultivation, his Qi stat hadn't increased by much.

[You're jesting, right, host?]

The system asked as if the current thoughts of Wei Jun were ridiculous to the point of blasphemy.

'The increase, it isn't much different from the last time.' Wei Jun inwardly replied while Lao Chen was still to utter a reply.

[ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!!]

The sudden outburst from the system stunned Wei Jun and his eyes involuntarily widened.

[In my days, one who could increase their cultivation by this much in a day was considered a god, A GOD OF CULTIVATION]

The system explained loudly for Wei Jun's every orifice to hear even though the message was being directly transmitted to his mind.

However, Wei Jun was still stunned at the system's outburst.

[What more do you need?]

[You're a fu*king prodigy]

[NO!]

[You're a monster]

[What is this?]

[Is it that, 'I made a terrible mistake. I got all answers correct but missed one on an entry test to Harvard']

[IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY?!!!!]

Stunned, Wei Jun remained seated on his spot even though his cultivation had ended a while ago.

'The system knows Harvard?' Wei Jun incredulously thought.

"….ster!"

"…ng master!"

"Young master!!" Lao Chen yelled to get Wei Jun's attention who sat stunned, with his eyes widened, unresponsive to Lao Chen's calls.

Wei Jun snapped out of his reverie on Lao Chen's yell and turned to him. "Oh, what?" Wei Jun confusedly asked.

"I have been calling for a while now, young master." Lao Chen regained his confidence seeing the coldness in Wei Jun's eyes was nowhere to be seen anymore.

"Ah, yes. Nothing. Just prepare a hefty breakfast. I have to finish my scenes today." Wei Jun instructed the curious Lao Chen who had hundreds of questions but he decided not to ask them and replied, "As you wish, young master."

He turned around and was about to leave when he remembered something that he had forgotten after seeing Wei Jun's chilly eyes and said, "The patriarch wishes your presence this evening. He says your presence is a must and if you are not there, he will send his men to kidnap you and bring you to him by force."

The way Lao Chen delivered such a strange message was so natural that Wei Jun suspected that it was nothing new. The old man Ruan might have done this before as well.

Wei Jun simply closed his eyes and nodded in assent. He knew he couldn't keep ignoring the issue of his previous host's grandfather. From what Wei Jun had observed so far, Sun Ruan was an opportunistic bastard who wouldn't hesitate to sell his family for the sake of his own, and in doing so, the family's benefit.

Of course, Wei Jun didn't mind. Although not his own family, he had destroyed many families for his own business and goals as well. It didn't matter that all of them deserved it but the fact remained that many children became parentless because of him.

Lao Chen left and Wei Jun turned back to the system which had seemed to calm down after its earlier outburst. Wei Jun didn't know the system could talk back but earlier, the system wasn't talking back, and the system was genuinely angry.

Wei Jun could guess why.

[Qi +11]

[Qi 46]

It was just an eleven-point increase and his Qi stat was currently at forty-six, he was sixteen points before he hit his limit because of his level. However, there was one thing he was curious about. As far as his knowledge of cultivation went, Qi had breakthroughs even in the minor realms. Yet, Wei Jun had faced no such issues. He had that question because of the next notifications.

[You have crossed the realm of Qi sense with sheer effort and have stepped into the realm where Qi gathering becomes possible]

[All physical stats +2]

[All noncombat stats +1]

'You know anything about it?' Wei Jun calmly asked, forgetting about the system's previous outburst since he could tell he was somewhat at fault.

[Yes]

The system replied, back to normal from the sound of it.

[That's because of the system]

[A limit doesn't exist for you]

[The only limit you are plagued with is your level limit]

[Other than that, you will never feel any other roadblock]
