Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Please Dance for Me_1

Beihai Nation, the Zhenwu Martial Arts Club.

An elderly man stood motionless in the courtyard, his hands holding a knife.

Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly.

Then, he spun around abruptly.

”Swish—”

The knife in his hands slashed out fiercely.

”Shoo—”

A slight sound of the blade passing by, and a leaf that had just fallen from a tree was split into perfectly symmetrical halves by the edge of the knife.

Both sides were indistinguishably even.

”Clap, clap, clap—”

A burst of applause suddenly erupted, followed by an excited middle-aged man who walked up, picked up the leaf that had been split in two, examined it, and exclaimed, ”Master, your knife skills have become so exquisite, they’re as delicate as the work of an embroidery needle, fantastic, truly fantastic.”

Cangben Wuzang had not a smile on his face, he slowly sheathed his knife, then retreated to the nearby meditation room. Seating himself cross-legged, he then looked at the middle-aged man who had followed him in, and said indifferently, ”Speak, Gongben, you must have something important if you sought me out.”

”Yes.”

The middle-aged man quickly straightened his expression and bowed deeply to the floor before Cangben Wuzang, then said, ”Master, the news has been confirmed, Liang Zhengqi has died in the city of Dingjing in the Flame Dragon Kingdom,” the middle-aged man said in a grave tone.

”Good!”

A gleam of sharpness flashed in Cangben Wuzang’s eyes, and he laughed out loud, ”Very good! It is worthy of my having taken Liang Zhengqi as a disciple; he has finally played the role he was supposed to. Now I have the opportunity to enter the Flame Dragon Kingdom once again, without breaking my vow! This time, I must create a bloodbath in the Flame Dragon Kingdom to wash away my past dishonor!”

With a cold light in his eyes, Cangben Wuzang whispered, ”Gongben, I need to seclude myself for a while longer. Go to the Flame Dragon Kingdom first and take this opportunity to spread the renown of our Zhenwu Martial Arts Club!”

”Yes!”

Gongben’s eyes brightened, he responded loudly, and bowed before retreating from the room.

...

Whoosh, whoosh—

On a beach outside Dingjing, waves lapped against the seashore.

A middle-aged man gazed out at the sea, with several men in black suits standing guard around him.

”Family Head, look, they’re coming!” A young man beside the middle-aged man pointed towards the sea.

The middle-aged man became serious and looked intently, seeing a flat boat approaching with a middle-aged man dressed in Samurai garb standing at the bow with his hands behind his back, staring coldly toward the shore.

”Is that Mr. Gongben? I am Wan Tianlin, Family Head of the Jincheng Wan Family in the Flame Dragon Kingdom.” The middle-aged man hurriedly placed his hands to his lips, calling out loudly to the person dressed as a Samurai.

”Awooo—”

Instead of a reply, a long howl answered him.

Then, the flat boat suddenly accelerated, and when it was about twenty meters from shore, the middle-aged man on the bow leaped into the air, then lightly touched the surface of the water, actually clearing the sea to come ashore, ultimately landing next to Wan Tianlin.

And not a drop of seawater had splashed upon him!

”Hiss—” The entourage of guards by Wan Tianlin’s side gasped in surprise, hurriedly stepped beside Wan Tianlin, and watched the middle-aged man with great vigilance, their faces showing shocked expressions.

Wan Tianlin’s eyes lit up, and a fervent gleam appeared in them.

The middle-aged man dressed as a samurai scanned the guards by Wan Tianlin’s side with a haughty look, his lips not yet curled, flashing a hint of disdain, and nodded towards Wan Tianlin, ”Family Head Wan, I am Gongben Liangtian.”

Wan Tianlin’s eyes burned with passion, ”Mr. Gongben is truly as extraordinary as the legends say. Thank you for coming to Flame Dragon and lending me a hand. Shall we go directly to Dingjing for revenge now? I have a feud with Jiang Chen over the murder of my son, and if Mr. Gongben wishes to seek revenge, I am willing to offer my full support!”

”No!”

Gongben Liangtian raised his hand and shook his head, ”This time, I want to make a name for my master first. Isn’t there a Martial Alliance tournament happening in Ding County recently? Register me in your name; I want to meet the martial artists of the Flame Dragon Kingdom!”

”No problem!” Wan Tianlin nodded, turned, and gestured towards several nearby Rolls-Royces, ”Mr. Gongben, let’s go have something to eat first!”

Gongben Liangtian nodded and turned towards the car. Wan Tianlin walked by his side, a flash of hatred and a twisted excitement in his eyes:

Jiang Chen, you dare kill my son. Now, I want you dead!

...

After the battle at the hospital, Jiang Chen rested for a few days. During these days, Jiang Chen had been familiarizing himself with the Blood Knife Technique.

The more Jiang Chen practiced the Blood Knife Technique, the smoother it became. It felt as if this technique was tailored for him.

That day, after finishing his knife practice, Jiang Chen was in his room, recalling the technique, when the ring of the telephone interrupted his thoughts. Opening his eyes, he picked up the call, ”Hello, Yu Wan!”

”Jiang Chen, the school is organizing a dance, and they’ve invited me. Come with me!” Yu Wan’s voice came through the receiver, full of anticipation.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment. Since he had nothing else to do, there was no harm in going.

”Okay.” He nodded gently and agreed.

As night fell, Jiang Chen drove to the school.

”Jiang Chen.” Yu Wan had been waiting at the school entrance. Seeing Jiang Chen arrive, she greeted him with joy.

After parking the car, they headed to the school’s auditorium, where the dance was being held.

”Yu Wan, Yu Wan has arrived!”

”The goddess is here! So beautiful!”

”So gorgeous! But Jiang Chen standing by the goddess really doesn’t fit in!”

”He doesn’t deserve to stand beside the goddess. The person standing next to her should be me!”

As Yu Wan entered the venue, it caused a sensation, with everyone exclaiming in surprise. But the presence of Jiang Chen by her side made people express their disdain.

Yu Wan wore a low-cut, tight-fitting evening gown that showcased her perfect figure without any reservation. Along with her exquisite beauty and the generous display of her fair skin, she looked like a fairy descended from heaven, whereas Jiang Chen, who she was arm in arm with, was dressed in casual and inexpensive clothing. The two standing together looked oddly mismatched.

”Yu Wan, may I invite you to dance?” As soon as the dance began, someone approached Yu Wan with an invitation to dance.

Yu Wan turned to look at Jiang Chen, who smiled slightly, ”If you want to dance, go ahead. Don’t mind me.”

After a moment of thought, Yu Wan nodded lightly.

Despite her national fame as a singer and the distance it sometimes created with others, Yu Wan didn’t want that. She wanted to fit in at the school, which is why she accepted the dance invitation. Since Jiang Chen didn’t seem interested in dancing, Yu Wan thought it would be good to get acquainted with the other students and develop relationships, so everyone would know she wasn’t an arrogant person.

When Yu Wan accepted the invitation, the eyes of all the males at the dance lit up. They had assumed that since Yu Wan had arrived with Jiang Chen, she would dance with him, but they hadn’t expected Yu Wan to accept someone else’s invitation.

Immediately, many of the boys began to invite Yu Wan to dance.
