I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
On the same day, a piece of news suddenly spread like wildfire in the front-line camps. A mysterious man who claimed to be Qin Wei's enemy was said to have witnessed the battle between Qin Wei and Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction. He swore that Qin Wei's soulbound weapon got destroyed and that he was seriously injured. The mysterious man even stated that he stole the lifespan of more than 1,000 years from both of them while they were distracted.
When the news first came out, nobody believed it at all. How could Qin Wei, a great cultivator at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage and the protector of the Tong Tian Nation, be defeated by a young man at the Form Synthesis Stage, and even have his soulbound weapon destroyed? However, Xu Que assumed the identity of Li Bai and appeared the very next day. He pretended to pass by the camp and was immediately pulled aside by a group of cultivators, asking whether or not the rumors were true.
