Wei Jun wasn't impressed with that skill either. One, the cost of the skill was too high, and second, he wasn't sure what it even meant.

The description was vague and the effect was even vaguer. What he needed was a demonstration and the only good choice in such moments was quiet at the moment.

[Can't tell you]

'Great.' Wei Jun said.

[But I can tell you that it's a great skill]

'Why so?' Wei Jun asked.

[Because I'm the maker of that skill]

[And you're the only one to inherit that]

Wei Jun was intrigued by the fact that the system or whoever was inside the system was the maker of that skill. One thing Wei Jun admitted the most was that the system knew more about Qi than anyone else.

If the system itself said that the skill was great, then it was and Wei Jun wasn't going to doubt that. What he still needed though was the reassurance of the skill.

'Why not teach it to your descendants or your sect people?' Wei Jun asked.

[None of them were talented enough]

'And I remember someone saying I'm not talented when it comes to cultivation.' Wei Jun said.

[The theory behind the skill itself isn't so difficult]

[It all comes down to the concentration of one]

[And I'll be blunt]

[I have never seen a mind like yours and that's coming from me]

Wei Jun decided to end his conversation with the system right there. He couldn't practice the skill at the moment anyway so all he could do was wait.

His meeting with Xiang Fan was scheduled for tomorrow. Since it was already nighttime, Wei Jun could sleep for the night.

Wei Jun closed his eyes but kept his senses open because he still suspected the people on the outside to make a move on him.

************

Morning came in Golden Gate Penitentiary and the prisoners were let out in the open yard after a thorough checkup. Just because their Qi was blocked didn't mean they couldn't find any sort of weapon such as a razor blade or something similar.

Dressed in a grey prisoner outfit, as Wei Jun made his appearance in the field, all eyes turned to him. Many intimidating men looked at him, some gauging him being there, some had a knowing smile on their faces, and some, some had sinister smiles.

Wei Jun didn't need to worry about the first and the last ones. The first ones were just curious and worried about the outcome if they were to mess with him.

As for the third ones, well, Wei Jun was pretty as hell from their point of view. Wei Jun knew what that meant well in prisons.

What did interest him were the second ones. Their smiles suggested they knew of him coming there. Wei Jun was going to deal with these kinds of people. As for the rest, well, there was no need to worry about the first ones and he could easily break the third ones.

However, the second ones were in there with connections. Connections that threatened his position.

Wei Jun turned and made his way to a bench in the corner where no one was present. As he took a seat on the bench, he observed everyone just as everyone observed him.

"You're in my seat, pretty boy." A giant man's voice entered his ears coming from his left side. He turned to see a group of men making their way to him with sinister smiles on their faces.

'Damn. Not the second category.' Wei Jun said before he turned his attention back to the ones belonging to the second category.

"Hey! Didn't you hear what I said?!" The giant man said out loud as he brought his hand down, aiming for Wei Jun's shoulder.

Wei Jun grabbed the hand without even tearing his gaze from the other and simply twisted his hand at an odd angle, spreading a howl of pain throughout the prison.

The rest of the men with the giant man were about to interfere when Wei Jun twisted the hand of the giant man even more to the point that his veins ruptured and blood began to come out from several lesions that formed on his arm due to pressure.

The sight kept the men away and everyone with his eyes fixated on the scene.

Finally, seeing a movement from the guard's post Wei Jun let go of the giant man who fell on the ground and kept screaming in pain.

"Hands where I can see them!" The guard yelled while he pointed his gun at Wei Jun. Wei Jun stared at him for a few seconds before he calmly turned his attention back to the one person who had no interest in whatever was happening.

"I said hands in the air!" The guard once again said as he corked the safety of his gun to warn Wei Jun once again while some of his companions were busy taking the giant man away.

Wei Jun didn't react in any way. The guard was about to say it once more when his radio gave out a static signal.

"Bring him here." A voice came from the other side of the radio. Wei Jun looked at the guard with a smile and said, "Your boss is sensible. He just saved your life."

***************

The brief show ended and everyone got back to their business.

Those who were after Wei Jun for nefarious purposes other than killing him backed away and discarded every thought about doing anything like that.

As for those who were contemplating what to do about Wei Jun finally made their decision to stay away.

That only left one category and that was the category that wanted to kill him.

However, they decided to hold off on the thought of doing anything for now. After all, they had no idea what they were dealing with.

A tiny man almost ripped off the arm of a man twice in size than him which his Qi was restricted. That was a sight not seen every day.

As for the topic of everyone's conversation, Wei Jun, who was brought to the warden's office in chains, entered the office and looked around.

Instead of an office, it looked more like an antique shop.

"You like?" The man in the office, dressed in a light brown three-piece suit with a white shirt asked.

"Not really." Wei Jun replied. "Strange. Usually, everyone agrees with me." The man said to Wei Jun's blatant answer.

"I know about antiques but I don't like them enough to decorate my office with them and treat them like my children." Wei Jun said.

"Is that so?" The man asked before he turned to Wei Jun and asked, "Then what do you know about this one?"

Wei Jun turned to look at the piece and said, "An exquisite piece of jade that doesn't belong to the era it says it does."

"What do you mean?" The man asked with a strange expression on his face.

"It means you were ripped off." Wei Jun said before he said, "It's just polished jade with old oil to give the same lustrous look as an antique jade."

In all honesty, Wei Jun knew nothing about that. It was the system that was telling him everything about that.

"Hmmm… I paid ten million yuan for that." The man said.

Wei Jun looked at the man. From an outside view, that conversation was basically pointless but Wei Jun went along with it because he knew it wasn't.

The man who Wei Jun suspected to be the warden was playing mind games with Wei Jun and Wei Jun had just shown him that his authority didn't matter too much to him by disagreeing on every single point about what he said.

"You're quite the rebel, Mister Ruan." The warden said.

Wei Jun didn't say anything. The warden probably knew what Wei Jun was thinking but even Wei Jun knew that getting the warden on his bad side by saying, 'And you're not as good as you think you are,' was such a good idea.

The warden nodded and said, "Not a good start for your first day. Especially given the extent of damage you did."

"He started it." Wei Jun said.

"Which would have been a viable explanation if this was elementary school but it's not." The warden said before he moved to the main point, "I know why you did that."

"Why?" Wei Jun asked.

"To be put in solitary." The warden said.

"So what are you going to do, warden?" Wei Jun asked.

If the warden was aware of what Wei Jun was trying to do, then the explanation was simple. Either he was on the side of the rules or he was on the other side. The side that was trying to kill Wei Jun.

"I'm afraid that's not possible." The warden replied which was all the answer Wei Jun needed.

Wei Jun smiled and said, "It seems you have made your choice, warden. Too bad. I would have hated to kill you as well."

"I think we're done here." The warden said, unfazed by the threat Wei Jun said and asked for the guard stationed outside to take Wei Jun back.
