Medical and Martial God

”Then I don’t want it. You can take the wounded away,” Ye Xiu said with a shrug, easily seeing through Lin Xin’s intentions.

Lin Xin was baffled.

Why doesn’t this guy ever play by the rules?

”Here, take it!” Impatient, Lin Xin threw the totem to Ye Xiu. He felt that all the anger from his thirty-five years of life couldn’t compare to what he felt today. He now seriously suspected that Ye Xiu had awakened a totem or a Special Ability specifically for infuriating people.

”Hurry up and heal them!” Kristina urged.

”Alrighty!” Ye Xiu cheerfully accepted the totem, tucked it into his pocket, and went to grab his silver needles. He then began to treat the twenty-nine wounded men.

Watching Ye Xiu’s smug grin, Lin Xin and Kristina wished they could slap him. The guy was just too infuriating.

”Were they injured by a bomb?” Ye Xiu asked, feigning ignorance.

Kristina didn’t hide anything and recounted the story about the remote-controlled bombs planted around Unparalleled Mountain.

”Did the Eternal Kingdom only send 278 people this time?” Ye Xiu continued to feign ignorance, laying the groundwork for his real question.

”Including me, there were 1,001 of us in total, but 722 were ambushed after entering the mountains,” Kristina said.

”More than 1,001 people came, didn’t they?” Ye Xiu asked.

Kristina was stunned. ”What do you mean?”

Lin Xin’s pupils contracted.

”Huang Quan killed Yue Longxuan. The Eternal Kingdom would certainly send a master to kill him,” Ye Xiu stated, revealing his true goal.

This infuriated Lin Xin. Ye Xiu clearly didn’t believe he was capable of killing Huang Quan. He was about to retort, intending to disguise his true strength and give Ye Xiu the impression that he was unfathomably powerful, but Kristina interjected before he could speak.

”Right!” Kristina had a sudden realization. She looked at Lin Xin and said, ”You’re at the Fifth Realm. Even though you’re stronger than Yue Longxuan, Huang Quan was able to kill him instantly. That means Huang Quan is clearly at the Seventh Realm. You can’t be the one Dad sent to kill him. So who did Dad send? And why haven’t they appeared?”

Lin Xin was secretly furious. Kristina had just revealed his strength to Ye Xiu, but facing the Princess, he dared not show his anger. He said, ”They will appear when the time is right.”

Ye Xiu understood. The Eternal Kingdom had indeed sent a master, just one who hadn’t traveled on the same plane as Lin Xin and had come alone instead.

This will make finding that master much more difficult!

”Huang Quan is incredibly elusive, so it’s only natural that the one sent to deal with him is also mysterious,” Kristina nodded. ”Now that there’s someone to deal with Huang Quan, we still have a problem. The Restorer Alliance has completely established its presence in Nanjing. Even if the Eternal Kingdom sends more people, they probably won’t be able to escape the fate of being ambushed.”

After two huge losses, Kristina mistakenly believed that Restorer Alliance spies were everywhere in Nanjing. She thought that anyone from the Eternal Kingdom who set foot there would certainly be ambushed.

”That is indeed a problem.” Lin Xin looked at Ye Xiu and asked, ”Do you know a way for the Eternal Kingdom’s people to reach Nanjing without being ambushed?”

Heh, with a single word from me, no one would ambush you...

Ye Xiu shook his head. ”No.”

”I, on the other hand, have a good idea.” Lin Xin smiled confidently, suddenly feeling a sense of intellectual superiority over Ye Xiu. He said, ”Princess, you just need to order all the Great Grandmasters, First Realm War Gods, and Second Realm War Gods from around the world to come to Nanjing. When countless people arrive, our own people can mix in with them. The Restorer Alliance will have no idea who our forces are, so they won’t be able to ambush us.”

What a terrible idea. It’s utter nonsense!

”Absolutely not!” Ye Xiu refused decisively. ”Construction is happening all over Nanjing right now, and no housing has been arranged. Where would they all stay?”

In reality, he was worried that with so many Martial Artists gathering in Nanjing without proper lodging, they would harass the local villagers. No, he was certain of it. Moreover, with so many construction crews at work, clashes between the laborers and the influx of Martial Artists from various nations were bound to occur.

”Are you teaching me how to do my job? Besides, what right do you have to object?” Kristina finally found an opportunity to push back at Ye Xiu. She took out her phone and began texting Lin Xin right in front of him.

She wrote that mobilizing the Eternal Kingdom’s forces and getting them to Nanjing would take over twenty-five hours, making it impossible for them to arrive at the same time as the world’s other martial artists. Her plan was for Lin Xin to tell his father to dispatch troops immediately and have them stop over in Tamwood City. She would then have the Martial Artists, Totem Inheritors, and Extraordinary Abilities Holders from the Sodibeast Continent gather in Tamwood City as well, so they could all fly to Nanjing together with the Eternal Kingdom’s people.

She chose to text instead of speaking aloud because she didn’t trust Ye Xiu. She worried he might leak the plan, allowing the Restorer Alliance to ambush their forces in Tamwood City. Moreover, she didn’t want him to know that their travel route involved a layover there.

”A brilliant plan! The Princess is truly clever!” Lin Xin’s eyes lit up, and he immediately called his father.

Kristina also began posting on the Martial Artists’ forum.

Ye Xiu was furious. To deal with the Restorer Alliance, Lin Xin and Kristina were planning to throw Nanjing into chaos.

He squinted, trying to guess the content of Kristina’s text. It’s actually quite easy to figure out. All I have to do is think from their perspective. They want to group up with the Martial Artists from the Sodibeast Continent in Tamwood City and then travel to Nanjing together? Not on my watch!

”This...” After finishing his call, Lin Xin happened to see a patient Ye Xiu had just finished treating. He exclaimed, ”How is this possible? Are you a Life Totem Inheritor?”

The wounded man, who had been horrifically mangled by the explosion, had miraculously recovered under Ye Xiu’s treatment without a single scar left behind. Such god-like Medical Skills, as far as Lin Xin knew, were only possible with a Life Totem.

Although the Three Great Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom hadn’t discovered a way to enhance the Life Totem, even a First Stage Life Totem possessed potent healing abilities. Because of this, the Eternal Kingdom had many doctors who had been granted Life Totems.

”This is the Traveling Dragon Moxibustion Technique,” Ye Xiu obfuscated. In truth, he hadn’t used the power of his Life Totem at all.

”What? An Acupuncture Technique has such a powerful healing effect?” Lin Xin was astonished.

Ye Xiu shot him a contemptuous look. ”If you had so much as a kindergarten diploma, you wouldn’t be this surprised.”

Lin Xin choked on his words. He still found it hard to believe an Acupuncture Technique could be so magical. However, the intel on Ye Xiu confirmed he wasn’t a Life Totem Inheritor, leaving him with no way to rebut the claim. Besides, arguing further would only make him seem more ignorant and unworldly. He eventually said, ”I’m just surprised that besides the doctors from the Three Great Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom, someone else in the world knows such a miraculous Acupuncture Technique.”

The implication was that the Eternal Kingdom also had people who knew this kind of miraculous technique.

Kristina chimed in, ”That’s right. The Eternal Kingdom’s Medical Skills are the best in the world. We have countless amazing and miraculous Acupuncture Techniques and other medical arts.”

In reality, neither the Three Great Judicator Families nor the Eternal Kingdom possessed such miraculous medical skills.
