Medical Sage

It was clear that Chen Fei paid no mind to the so-called member of the Nuo Deng Family.

One of the three great noble families of the Holy Church of the Divine Holy Church? So what?

Though this Glory Page was of little use to him—a mere decoration—returning it wasn’t out of the question. The problem, however, was the man’s attitude. He acted superior and postured, ordering Chen Fei around as if he were someone special. The condescension instantly rubbed Chen Fei the wrong way. Damn it, does he really think he’s something special? Just a mere S-rank Ability User, overestimating his own abilities. Hmph!

”You—” Upon hearing Chen Fei’s arrogant words, a vein throbbed on Dagondo’s forehead. His eyes flashed with a cold light as a white luminescence gradually materialized in his hand. ”Do you really think I’m joking?” he said sinisterly.

After all, what was Dagondo’s status, position, and strength? He was the current Clan Leader of the Nuo Deng Family, one of the three great noble families of the Holy Church of the Divine Holy Church, and an S+ Rank Light Warrior! So when had he ever encountered an Eastern Lad, barely in his twenties, who dared to be so arrogant and presumptuous in his presence?

”I never thought you were joking. But...” Chen Fei lifted his head, his dark, crystal-clear eyes staring coldly at the man. ”I do think you’re not up to the task,” he added with sudden disdain. ”The Glory Page is right here in my hands. If you have the skill and ability, feel free to take it from me.”

As he spoke, a damaged page shining with a dim light appeared in his hand, causing Dagondo’s eyes to widen sharply.

”Quick! Give it to me! Oh, great God of Light above, what on earth happened? Why is the Glory Page damaged?” Dagondo immediately lunged forward to snatch it from Chen Fei’s hands, his expression a mask of fury and agitation.

The Glory Page was the greatest Holy Artifact of the Nuo Deng Family! Why was it damaged? The thought, which had never even occurred to him, sent him into a rage. If this page was damaged, it meant their family’s Holy Artifact—the Book of Glory—could never be restored to its peak state. For the Nuo Deng Family, this was a fatal, unbearable blow.

”It was like this when I got it.” Chen Fei slid back slightly, effortlessly evading the hand that shot out like lightning. He met Dagondo’s gaze and added nonchalantly, ”If you want it, the offer still stands. If you have the skill and ability, take it from my hands. Otherwise, get out of my sight. I don’t have time to waste on you.”

”Very well!” Dagondo’s expression darkened, and a powerful aura surged from his body. His eyes, shimmering with white light, locked onto Chen Fei. ”I didn’t want to resort to brute force,” he threatened, his voice ominous, ”but it’s a pity you didn’t appreciate the opportunity. Since that’s the case, I will teach you about the majesty of our Nuo Deng Family and the iron law that weaklings like you must obey!”

As he spoke, his entire being seemed to transform into a fearsome, hungry beast. His aura shifted, becoming an oppressive force that was almost suffocating.

Yet, upon witnessing this, Chen Fei merely lifted his eyelids, his face showing no sign of panic or shock. His body was slightly uncomfortable, but his Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivation, which was comparable to or even surpassed the Innate Middle Stage, was more than enough to handle the present situation. An S+ Superpower User? Still a bit weak for me now.

”ROAR!”

At that moment, Dagondo moved. His body shot forward like a blade of light, his expression cold and fierce as he threw a punch at Chen Fei. For a Light Warrior like Dagondo, true strength could only be unleashed when they donned their armor and sword, the symbols of glory and light. But his opponent was just an Eastern Lad in his twenties. Dagondo, the prestigious Clan Leader of the Nuo Deng Family, naturally didn’t take him seriously and felt no need to use his full power.

But in the next instant, his expression changed. His fist was stopped dead by an open palm.

”You, you...” Dagondo stared at the expressionless Chen Fei, stuttering incoherently.

”I told you, you’re not up to it. Did you think I was joking?” Chen Fei’s eyelids twitched. With a sudden burst of power from his core, his body spun like a top, unleashing a vicious whip kick that sliced through the air.

Dagondo’s face fell. He tried to dodge, but found that, for some inexplicable reason, he couldn’t evade the kick. Feeling the immense pressure that suddenly made his breathing ragged, he grit his teeth and thrust his own fist out to meet the attack head-on.

BANG! A muffled explosion erupted between them, spreading outward. A faint, milky-white circle of luminescence shone brightly in the night.

”HA!”

After blocking Chen Fei’s kick, a ferocious look appeared on Dagondo’s face. The muscles in his right leg tensed as he aimed a vicious kick at Chen Fei’s waist. But the next moment, the intense pain that shot up his leg made his face contort. It was as if he’d kicked a steel plate! But that was impossible. Even a steel plate couldn’t have withstood his kick! With his strength as an S+ rank Light Warrior, one full-powered kick could shatter steel… How can this man’s body be so hard!?

”If this is all you’ve got, you truly lack the strength to take the Glory Page from me.” Chen Fei flexed his slightly sore waist and let out a long cry. The scorching power of the Sword Qi of Sanyang True Fire instantly surged from his body, coating his fists. Like twin dragons emerging from the sea, his fists transformed into savage weapons as he smashed forward.

”Damn it, why is he so strong?” Seeing this, Dagondo’s expression grew even more frightening. He hastily assumed a defensive stance, his right leg lashing out like a black shadow to meet the incoming fists.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The collisions of fists and feet boomed like cannon fire, jarring and piercing. The impacts of his foot against Chen Fei’s fists sounded like whips cracking against diamond, a sound that split the eardrums in the encroaching darkness of the evening.

WHOOSH!

Dagondo could no longer endure such a high-intensity clash. His right leg felt as if it were about to break. Gritting his teeth, he threw one last kick against Chen Fei’s body, using the rebound to retreat. He stared at Chen Fei, his face a picture of shock, his eyes flickering with disbelief.

Who was he? He was the esteemed Clan Leader of the Nuo Deng Family! Setting that aside, he was a bona fide, undisputed S+ Level Light Warrior! Even across the vastness of Nuo Da Europe, he was considered a top-tier expert, someone who could stand at the very pinnacle. But now, he was being completely suppressed by an Eastern young man barely in his twenties. What did that mean? Could it be that this kid was stronger than him, the current Clan Leader of the great Nuo Deng Family? How was that possible? How old was he!?

”You... why are you so powerful?” As the thought struck him, Dagondo couldn’t help but stare fixedly at Chen Fei, his voice low and heavy with complex emotions.

Clearly, he still found it hard to believe. While their exchange hadn’t fully escalated or been as dazzling as the previous battle in the Great Rift Valley of the Alps, Dagondo could feel it. This Eastern Lad was strong. Dangerously strong. Even if he went all out, victory wasn’t guaranteed. And this was merely Chen Fei’s performance while weakened; if Dagondo knew the truth, who knows what he would think.

”I told you, you’re not good enough. Can I go now?” Chen Fei merely curved the corners of his mouth, glanced at him, and turned to leave.

Seeing him about to walk away, Dagondo’s expression changed drastically. ”Wait! Stop, you can’t go.”

”I can’t go?” Chen Fei’s footsteps paused. He turned his body slightly, his deep black, crystal-clear eyes watching the other man as his tone turned cold. ”I advise you to understand something. A moment ago, I was showing you mercy. If you truly wish to keep testing my limits, the consequences will be something you cannot bear.”

”Something I cannot bear!?” Dagondo’s face shifted. Though he still found Chen Fei’s words outrageously arrogant, he no longer dared to dismiss them. The power the other man possessed genuinely made him apprehensive.

”My friend, you must understand, the Glory Page is a Holy Artifact of the Nuo Deng Family. We cannot simply allow it to remain out in the world...” he began, his tone grave.

Before he could finish, the expressionless Chen Fei cut him off. ”Then why has it been out in the world for so long?”

Dagondo’s face froze, his expression darkening. He had no answer.

”Because no matter what methods we used before, we could not find its whereabouts. I wonder if this reason satisfies you, esteemed sir?”

Just then, a dazzling white light emerged like smoke, and from within it, an aged voice spoke, causing Chen Fei’s pupils to contract slightly.
