#201 - Chapter 201 Zhao Wei's Breakthrough Failed

While Cheng Feng was handling household affairs, inside the Iron Mountain Martial Arts Hall, a woman with a slender figure, firm eyes, and a heroic spirit was refusing all visitors, dedicating herself to breaking through the bottleneck of the Bone Forging stage. At this moment, she had been in seclusion for three days and three nights, wholeheartedly immersed in cultivation.

Zhao Wei was dressed in a simple practice suit, her long hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, her expression firm and focused. She closed her eyes tightly, adjusting her breathing rhythm, gathering her blood energy between the bones of her body.

Ever since learning that her master's closed-door disciples had already reached the Bone Forging stage, Zhao Wei, stuck at the bottleneck, could no longer stay calm.

Wang Tieshan also regretted suddenly revealing Cheng Feng's realm, causing Zhao Wei to see a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough when her mind wavered.

Breaking through under such circumstances was undoubtedly very dangerous.

As time passed, Zhao Wei's aura gradually became steady and deep. Her skin gradually bulged, becoming as crystal clear as jade, indicating the rapid flow of blood energy beneath her skin. This was a sign that she was about to break through to the Bone Forging stage, meaning her bones would be further strengthened and tempered.

As the blood energy reached its final peak, Zhao Wei suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of determination flashing within. The blood energy within her body surged like a raging river, rushing towards the bones of her arm. At the same time, a powerful aura erupted from her body, causing the words 'Martial Arts' on the secret chamber to rustle.

After a long period of blood energy scouring, the bones in Zhao Wei's arm were gradually stained by the blood energy. Her arm bones emitted a series of crackling sounds, as if celebrating this historic moment.

But suddenly, Zhao Wei felt that the blood energy in her arm bones was out of her control, like encountering a surging flood after a gate was opened. The blood energy began to frantically scour her bones. This force was exceptionally strong, making it impossible for Zhao Wei to control, leaving her only able to let it wreak havoc.

Zhao Wei's face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, blood flowed from her mouth and nose, and her body trembled slightly. She tried to use the Thunderclap Bloodburst Art to resist, but the blood energy seemed to be stronger than her bones, easily breaking through her cultivation path. With a crack, her arm bones shattered.

Zhao Wei was shocked. She had never encountered such a situation. She didn't know why this blood energy was so violent. She realized that if she didn't find a solution quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhao Wei endured the pain, trying to remain calm and think of a solution. However, the blood energy became even more fierce, as if it wanted to crush all her bones. Zhao Wei gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble.

She took a deep breath, focused her mind, and fully resisted the impact of the blood energy. At the same time, she used the Bloodburst Secret Art, forcibly guiding the blood energy to run along a specific path, hoping to resolve the crisis.

Zhao Wei's Bloodburst Secret Art and the blood energy launched a fierce confrontation within her body, each collision causing a burst of intense pain. But Zhao Wei did not give up. She clenched her teeth, constantly trying to adjust the running method of the secret art, seeking the best balance point.

After a period of arduous effort, Zhao Wei finally found a glimmer of hope. She discovered that when she gathered the blood energy at a certain point in her chest, she could temporarily suppress the runaway blood energy.

So, she carefully manipulated the secret art, slowly guiding the blood energy back on track.

However, it was already too late. The blood energy nurtured in her arm had long been out of control, impacting her fragile bones like a surging flood, ruthlessly crushing them.

Zhao Wei's heart was filled with unwillingness and despair. She could not accept such a painful failure, but she was powerless to reverse the situation.

After a moment of distraction, the blood energy in her chest was no longer controlled by the Bloodburst Secret Art and began to run wild. Under the expansion of the blood energy, Zhao Wei's chest swelled.

"Pfft..." Zhao Wei spat out a large mouthful of blood, her bright eyes becoming dim, filled with despair and regret.

She should have listened to her master and not compared herself to Cheng Feng. Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine.

Now, she had become a cripple.

Hong Estate

Cheng Feng was enjoying himself with Meiniang, since Meiniang said she wanted to bear him children.

Of course, he had to satisfy this insignificant little request of his woman.

Cai'er had also communicated with Cheng Feng via letter, allowing Cheng Feng to enjoy Meiniang's various services even more boldly.

High-slit cheongsam, close-fitting stockings, and to add more charm, Cheng Feng even found a leather craftsman to make a pair of high heels for Meiniang.

The other women were envious. Although they weren't easy to wear, they were really beautiful!

Cheng Feng waved his hand generously, two pairs for each person, so that it was fair.

Not long after he finished, the voice of the third brother came: "Second brother, second brother, the master wants you! Eldest Sister Zhao Wei failed to break through to the Bone Forging realm!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, stunning Cheng Feng. He widened his eyes, unable to believe what he had just heard.

Zhao Wei was the eldest sister in the martial arts hall! Her strength had always been the focus of everyone's attention. But now, she had failed to break through to the Bone Forging realm?

Even more shocking was that the third brother went on to say: "I heard that after Zhao Wei's breakthrough failed, the bones in her chest and arms were completely shattered. I'm afraid she won't live long. The master wants all the disciples who can come to the martial arts hall, especially you."

These words struck Cheng Feng's heart like a heavy hammer, and his face turned pale.

What exactly was going on? Why was this happening? Why did she suddenly fail to break through?

A series of questions flooded his mind, and Cheng Feng was deeply confused. He couldn't help but think of Zhao Wei's teachings and help in the past, and his heart was filled with worry and sadness.

Zhao Wei had always been a role model in his mind and a motivation for his progress. Now that he learned of her misfortune, Cheng Feng was still unable to accept it for a while.

Once upon a time, Cheng Feng had even fantasized about something happening between himself and that heroic and valiant eldest sister.

After all, who wouldn't love a heroic, understanding, and beautiful eldest sister?

Cheng Feng had always had a good impression of her, but due to his complex situation, he had not had time to develop a relationship.

This made Cheng Feng deeply realize that the path of martial arts cultivation for normal people was not smooth, but full of thorns, containing countless hardships and dangers.

Every step required caution, and a slight mistake could lead to serious consequences. The eldest sister's unfortunate experience was a clear example, which filled Cheng Feng's heart with worry, and he couldn't help but worry about Xu Miao's future.

Xu Miao was about to face a critical moment of breakthrough, but the effect of the Tiger Bone Soup was not obvious, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. Although Cheng Feng was willing to continue investing resources to support her,

Xu Miao's mood became increasingly low, and she even lost confidence in the Tiger Bone Soup. She told Cheng Feng that she didn't want to drink Tiger Bone Soup anymore because she felt it was meaningless to do so.

Cheng Feng would naturally not listen to Xu Miao's opinion. He knew that Xu Miao was currently in an emotional trough and needed more care and comfort.

He gently stroked Xu Miao's hair, comforting her not to worry, and that everything would be fine.

On the other hand, he once again requested the Lin family to purchase more tiger bones, Tianmu Que, and Zhenlan flowers.

After all, for Cheng Feng, his woman should receive the best care and love.
