Medical and Martial God

Seeing Ye Xiu leave with Hachi’s corpse in tow, Meng Yinwan and the others were overwhelmed with a surging tide of excitement. They simply couldn’t suppress their emotions. Finally, they would get to confirm just how strong Huang Quan truly was!

Bruce was also thrilled. He caressed the sword in his hand and declared with soaring pride, ”Today, I will slay Huang Quan and make my name known throughout the world!”

No one laughed at him. After all, Bruce was an Eighth Realm War God. Compared to Huang Quan, it was still unknown who was stronger. Perhaps Huang Quan truly couldn’t defeat Bruce.

In a torment of nervousness, excitement, and anticipation, everyone counted the seconds, hoping for Huang Quan’s swift arrival.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

”Why hasn’t Huang Quan arrived yet?” Bruce asked, growing impatient.

Someone speculated maliciously, ”Could it be that Ye Xiu doesn’t actually know where Huang Quan is? Maybe he didn’t want to earn the infamy of abandoning Heaven Net, so he used the excuse of finding Huang Quan to run away?”

This sentiment quickly found agreement. ”I think so.”

”Ye Xiu took Hachi’s corpse with him when he left. That doesn’t look like someone going to find Huang Quan; that looks like someone escaping.”

”Exactly. Why would he need Hachi’s corpse to find Huang Quan? He must have fled.”

”Alas, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. To think that the great Xuanse Medicine King would be such a person.”

”I bet Ye Xiu is only a little bit stronger than Hachi. His earlier standoff with Bruce was just a bluff.”

In an instant, Ye Xiu became the target of public condemnation, and the sound of insults being hurled at him rose and fell in waves.

Just then, a ghostly black shadow appeared without warning! A white, ferocious ghost mask, a black, red-trimmed cloak, and a curved saber in hand—the Battle Soul Blade... It was Huang Quan!

The voices insulting Ye Xiu came to an abrupt halt.

SWISH!

Everyone rose to their feet in a collective show of respect for Huang Quan.

Seeing this, Bruce was secretly shocked. Huang Quan’s influence was truly astonishing. The next moment, however, excitement surged through him. If I cut down Huang Quan, my own influence will surpass his.

”Which moron wants to challenge me?” Ye Xiu asked, surveying the crowd from within his Huang Quan Suit.

So arrogant... The crowd’s blood boiled with excitement.

Bruce was furious. ”That would be me!” he said coldly.

Ye Xiu looked at him and scolded, ”People go on a diet to lose fat, but it looks like you went on one to lose your mind. You’re challenging me in the middle of the night after a full meal? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”

Everyone hurriedly committed Huang Quan’s words to memory. Look at that, everyone, just look. Even his insults are so stylish.

”You...” Bruce’s face flushed with anger. He roared, ”Don’t be so arrogant, Huang Quan! We don’t know who’s stronger yet. After we fight, if you lose to me, I’ll smash your mouth in!”

Ye Xiu’s hand flashed out.

SLAP!

Then, Meng Yinwan and the others watched as Bruce was sent flying, tracing a graceful arc through the air before crashing onto a fighter jet parked on the aircraft carrier’s deck. The impact left a large dent in the jet’s bulletproof metal casing.

PFFT!

After landing, Bruce writhed on the deck, struggling to get up several times but failing each time.

HISS!

Witnessing this, Meng Yinwan and the others drew in a sharp, cold breath.

Good heavens! To defeat and severely injure an Eighth Realm War God in a single move... Huang Quan must be a Ninth Realm War God. There’s no doubt about it!

My God! After more than two thousand years, a Ninth Realm War God had finally appeared in the world.

”Do you submit?” Ye Xiu asked, waving a hand to pull Bruce toward him before stepping on his head.

”I submit! I submit!” Bruce admitted defeat wholeheartedly. He wasn’t just convinced; he was so terrified he felt like he needed diapers. Too strong! I, a dignified Eighth Realm War God, couldn’t even withstand a single move. I couldn’t even see him attack. This is definitely a Ninth Realm War God! The rumors about Huang Quan being the king of War Gods are true!

”In the future, when you’re bored after a meal, stay home and lift some dumbbells. Exercise your brain. Don’t spend all your damn time figuring out how to die. Understand?” Ye Xiu chided.

”Understood!” Bruce responded meekly.

Ye Xiu nodded in satisfaction. ”The Eternal Kingdom has hundreds of islands, large and small. You’ll all get a share eventually. But thinking about dividing up territory before the three Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom have even been destroyed is a bit premature. Everyone, post your information on the Martial Artist Forum. I will arrange a place for you all to stay on Biluo Island.”

With that said, he began toying with the Battle Soul Blade as he walked toward Yan Long.

Yan Long shuddered. He knew in his bones that Huang Quan was about to beat him up.

WHOOSH!

Ye Xiu drew the Battle Soul Blade.

Yan Long’s scalp went numb with terror. Is Huang Quan going to kill me?

His face pale, he yelled, ”If you’re so tough, put down the blade and use your fists! Can’t you see my legs are shaking?”

PFFT!

Meng Yinwan and the others couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Yan Long had somehow managed to say the most cowardly thing possible with the fiercest tone imaginable.

”Fine!” Ye Xiu stifled a laugh. He sheathed the Battle Soul Blade, pinned Yan Long to the ground, and gave him a thorough beating before striding away, leaving everyone with the image of his unassailable back.

A long time passed before the crowd finally recovered from the terror Huang Quan had instilled in them.

”Too strong! Huang Quan is too strong! He’s definitely a Ninth Realm War God; otherwise, there’s no way he could have crushed Bruce so easily.”

”Huang Quan could be called the greatest genius in over two thousand years! A Ninth Realm War God... that’s a height countless generations could only dream of reaching.”

”With Huang Quan’s help, our chances of wiping out the three Judicator Families are much greater now.”

Bruce watched as everyone excitedly discussed Huang Quan, each acting like one of his crazed fans. He felt as if he had lost all face on the deck of the aircraft carrier. His original plan was to conquer the world’s martial artists through force. Now, not only had the plan failed, but he had also been beaten and thoroughly humiliated.

”Wait a minute,” someone piped up, a puzzled expression on his face. ”Huang Quan mentioned the Eternal Kingdom and said there are hundreds of islands of various sizes. What did he mean?”

Until now, all information regarding the Eternal Islands, the Eternal Kingdom, and the power of the three Judicator Families had been top secret.

”Since Huang Quan brought it up, he must intend for everyone to know. Allow me to explain,” Meng Yinwan said.

All eyes turned to her.

”You know the inside story?” Bruce asked in shock.

”Huang Quan told me,” Meng Yinwan replied.

Everyone was stunned. They hadn’t expected the Restorer Alliance and Huang Quan to have a secret connection. No, it had to be Meng Yinwan and Huang Quan specifically. Otherwise, Huang Quan wouldn’t have shared such top-secret information with only the Restorer Alliance.

”The Eternal Kingdom is a nation controlled by the three Judicator Families, with a population of over one hundred million...” Meng Yinwan proceeded to explain everything she knew about the Eternal Kingdom, from its population’s class system and strength to all the other details.

After she finished, Bruce and the others felt as if a great mountain had been placed on their shoulders.

So... the three Judicator Families are that powerful!

”It seems this time we must annihilate the three Judicator Families, no matter the cost,” Bruce said gravely. ”Otherwise, every country in the world will be attacked by them and the Eternal Kingdom, and all of humanity will be enslaved.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Normally, when faced with such a powerful enemy, many would have left Biluo Island out of fear. But the three Judicator Families intended to unify the world and were even willing to use Poisonous Spiritual Energy to wipe out all of humanity. They could not retreat. If they fled, their families could be killed by the three Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom.

”Where’s Ye Xiu?” Bruce asked suddenly. ”Facing such a formidable enemy, we need his Medical Skills. Where is he?”
