Time flies swiftly as half a year passed since Li Wei's journey alongside Ling Xiu began.
Li Wei has made commendable improvements in his cultivation, currently standing at the 4th layer of the Foundation Establishment realm. His progress is notably remarkable, considering his late start in the cultivation world. While most children begin their cultivation journey at the age of 12 and reach the 4th layer around 14 years old, Li Wei's accelerated development is a testament to his talent and perseverance.
However, as Li Wei reflects upon his achievements, he remains aware that he still has ground to cover. Some exceptional cultivators of his age might have already attained the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment realm, while the more average practitioners would typically find themselves at the 5th or 6th layer. Recognizing the room for improvement, Li Wei resolves to push his limits and catch up to his peers.
Beyond his cultivation progress, Li Wei has also dedicated himself to honing his martial techniques. Flame Fist Fury, an explosive fighting technique fueled by his fiery inner qi, has seen substantial improvement under Ling Xiu's guidance. Its power and intensity have grown, allowing Li Wei to unleash devastating strikes imbued with fiery qi.
Furthermore, Li Wei has delved into the art of Soaring Phoenix Steps, a swift and agile movement technique passed down by his master. This technique enhances his mobility and footwork, enabling him to evade attacks and strike with precision in battle.
In a display of Li Wei's progress, a thrilling sparring session unfolds between him and his master. As they engage, a vibrant red qi cloaks Li Wei's form, veiling the azure-blue brilliance that typically emanates from his cultivation. This subtle technique allows him to appear ordinary while concealing his true abilities.
With the grace of the Soaring Phoenix Step technique learned from his master, Li Wei moves with unrivaled agility. His strikes rain down upon his teacher, a relentless storm of punches and kicks. Despite the evident gap in their cultivation levels, Li Wei's unyielding spirit fuels his unwavering assault.
Though his master's skill and experience prove formidable, Li Wei's determination shines through with each powerful move. The praise bestowed upon him by his teacher serves as validation of his progress, fueling his ambition to continue refining his techniques and improving his overall power.
