Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1504: Chapter 1504: Mysterious Expert? (Fourth Update)

Ye Haochuan’s cultivation improved, as did Ye Xiao’s, who was the top among the five great geniuses. Naturally, his cultivation increased rapidly as well.

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage, Ye Haochuan wouldn’t even bat an eye. But Ye Xiao, being a generation’s talent, couldn’t be compared to ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Between him and Ye Haochuan, who is stronger is still hard to say.

”It’s about time to confront you head-on!” Ye Haochuan thought to himself.

This whole time, his confrontations with Ye Xiao had remained in the realm of strategy. The last time he defeated Ye Xiao, it was because neither side used their full strength.

This time, having broken through to Core Formation Late Stage, Ye Haochuan was eager to experience the real strength of this number one genius.

”Right, there’s also a mysterious expert to particularly keep an eye on.”

The guy who sold intelligence was pretty ”conscientious” and seriously answered Ye Haochuan’s doubts.

He turned to the last page of the booklet and said to Ye Haochuan, ”This mysterious expert appeared at the registration site a few days ago. It’s said he took a blow from the Righteous Venerable head-on, and his strength is formidable...”

Ye Haochuan found it amusing because weren’t they talking about himself?

Curious, Ye Haochuan skimmed through the booklet. This page had only two introductions; the first was about him taking a blow from Yang Yi. The second said he seemed to have broken into the Bai Family and had a face-off with Patriarch Bai.

The first event happened in plain view, so it wasn’t surprising that Tingfeng Pavilion knew of it. But the Bai Family incident wasn’t widely known. For Tingfeng Pavilion to know and connect both events proved impressive.

After reading the two introductions, Ye Haochuan noticed the pictures on the page.

As previously mentioned, the intelligence from Tingfeng Pavilion was quite detailed, and each recorded cultivator came with a photo for easy identification.

Most had frontal photos, and figures like Ye Xiao even had deliberately chosen handsome ones. Ye Haochuan’s, however, only had a side profile, somewhat blurry, bearing an air of ”mystery.”

Presumably, the information gatherer wasn’t on-site at the time and only managed to get this blurry shot. Afterward, as Ye Haochuan had left, they couldn’t ”retake” the photo, leading them to use this one.

Yuan San, upon seeing the photo, was momentarily stunned. How could this picture bear a resemblance to Ye Haochuan?

When confronting Yang Yi, the ”mysterious expert” had exhibited a Core Formation Late Stage cultivation, coincidentally aligning with Ye Haochuan’s...

”Could it be such a coincidence?” Yuan San was taken aback.

He had just been indirectly scoffing at Ye Haochuan’s ”low profile,” only to now discover that Ye Haochuan was the mysterious expert he particularly regarded, even causing his face to flush, regardless of how thick-skinned he was.

”No, I shouldn’t jump to conclusions about such things. I’ll observe his methods later. If it really is Yuan San, I must quickly report it to the pavilion master.”

Yuan San made up his mind, feeling quite thrilled. If he indeed obtained intelligence on the mysterious expert, he wondered what kind of reward awaited him.

Thinking this, Yuan San didn’t rush to find the next buyer but patiently introduced Ye Haochuan instead.

Among the five geniuses, the Ji Family brothers were under twenty and wouldn’t associate with them. So, Long Keyue and Ku Hai became the focus of Yuan San’s explanation.

Ye Haochuan knew more about Long Keyue and Ku Hai than Tingfeng Pavilion did, so he wasn’t too concerned. However, someone named ”Long Yang” managed to catch Ye Haochuan’s attention.

This person, like Long Keyue, was also from the Long Family. But his combat style was quite unique, with the booklet describing it in just one sentence: ”Not using cultivation techniques as a weapon, only fond of melee combat, breaking everything in the path of the halberd.”

Seeing this description reminded Ye Haochuan of someone.

Back when he destroyed the Skywolf Kill headquarters, a masked man had attempted to assassinate him. That man wielded a Halberd of Heaven and Earth without using any cultivation technique. What seemed like a simple stab left a dent in Ye Haochuan’s Imperial Seal Grand Cauldron.

No matter how you looked at it, that masked man was much like the person described in the booklet.

Curiously, Ye Haochuan observed Yuan San’s appearance. Although plain-looking with no memorable features, Ye Haochuan could see a hint of killing intent in his seemingly composed eyes.

”This person...”

Ye Haochuan was about to inquire when the host on stage announced loudly, ”Number 25432 Liu Sheng, versus number 12387 Zhang Zhong!”

Upon hearing his name, Liu Sheng quickly responded and headed up the stage.

Ye Haochuan momentarily set Long Yang aside, searching for Zhang Zhong’s information. To his surprise, Zhang Zhong, like Liu Sheng, was also at the Core Formation Mid-Stage.

”Liu Sheng’s luck is really not good! Of all the Foundation Establishment stages, he had to face a formidable opponent right away,” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh.

The purpose of the Greenstone Society was to select geniuses, not merely to see who could fight. So, match pairings were generally chosen from peers, to ensure fairness as much as possible.

With the two being of the same age and cultivation level, the outcome was uncertain.

Fortunately, in the booklet, Zhang Zhong was rated only one star, suggesting nothing outstanding. Based on Ye Haochuan’s understanding of Liu Sheng, he should stand a chance of winning.

On stage, Zhang Zhong saw Liu Sheng’s empty sleeves and burst into mocking laughter, ”What are the Greenstone Society’s registration staff doing? Even accepting cripples, isn’t this a waste of my time?”

”Don’t be insolent! The Greenstone Society only considers age, aren’t you aware?” the host said angrily.

However, from his words and expression, it was evident he also looked down on Liu Sheng.

Cultivators have great healing abilities, and many miraculous pills exist. Even severed limbs can be regenerated if treated in time.

Thus, among cultivators, those ”disabled” like Liu Sheng were rare.

Without hands, many techniques are difficult to perform; even with higher cultivation, how much combat ability remains?

The host’s anger stemmed more from Zhang Zhong questioning the staff’s work than any intent to seek fairness for Liu Sheng.

Zhang Zhong’s expression settled slightly at those words, but he couldn’t resist sneering at Liu Sheng, ”I really don’t want people saying I’m bullying the disabled. Why not admit defeat and step down? Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your remaining two limbs will stay unharmed, haha!”

”I hope your skills are as plenty as your nonsense!”

Liu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged, and in the next moment, he opened his mouth, and a longsword sprang out. With no hands, Liu Sheng evidently couldn’t wear a storage ring on them. So he had someone specially redesign it, making it smaller to fit in his mouth.

Zhang Zhong saw the longsword emerge and thought it was coming at him. But the next second, he realized the sword wasn’t fully thrust out; instead, Liu Sheng held it crosswise in his mouth.

”Really asking for it, I’ll make you lose teeth before acknowledging defeat?” Zhang Zhong sneered disdainfully, driving his longsword forward.

”Get off the stage, you cripple!”
