Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Cao Wuheng’s Contempt_1

”By the time the day of the Green Ranking Competition arrives, Grandfather, you will see. I definitely won’t let you down,” Cao Wuheng said with an indifferent expression.

”It seems you’re quite confident. This Green Ranking Competition coincides with that grand event. I believe geniuses from all over will make an appearance. Do you think you can make it into the top ten of the Green Ranking?”

Cao Tianhu looked at Cao Wuheng while placing a piece on the board.

As Cao Wuheng placed a piece, he directly captured one of Cao Tianhu’s pieces, his aura exuding a strong confidence.

”I, Cao Wuheng, must secure a place in the top three of the Green Ranking!”

Cao Wuheng said resolutely, his eyes flashing with a brilliant light, shining brightly!

”Good, worthy of being my grandson, Cao Tianhu. With you in the Cao Family, I can rest easy,” Cao Tianhu laughed heartily.

”However, there is an opponent in this mundane world who has caught my interest,” Cao Wuheng spoke.

”Oh? Is that so? There’s an opponent in this mundane world that interests you? Could it be Ji Lingtian from the Ji Family? I heard his master is the Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion from the Seven Stars Pavilion, both strength and talent are formidable. He is indeed qualified to be your opponent,” Cao Tianhu said with a glint in his eye.

Cao Wuheng shook his head: ”Not him, but that fellow who brought shame upon him, that Ye Luo.”

”Ye Luo? Which power does he belong to? I don’t seem to have heard of him,” said Cao Tianhu with a puzzled expression.

”This Ye Luo is not from the Capital City’s powers, but rather the young master of a declining family from Zhonghai. But now, he is a person of interest in Capital City. He even got Qin Yuru, the helmswoman of the Qin Group who was about to have an engagement ceremony with Ji Lingtian, pregnant with his child.”

”Moreover, he killed the young master of the Sun Family, angering Sun Zhenying, one of the eight Grand Elders of the Tian Group. Even Sun Zhenying’s attempt to take him down failed. The most important thing is his talent; I personally witnessed his battle against Ji Lingtian during the engagement ceremony. He almost defeated Ji Lingtian, and all this while only being at the Innate Peak Stage.”

Cao Wuheng said indifferently, as a look of astonishment flashed across Cao Tianhu’s aged eyes.

”With Ji Lingtian’s talent and the support of Yuheng Pavilion, he should have already entered the Saint Realm, right?” Cao Tianhu asked.

”Fourth layer of the Saint Realm,” Cao Wuheng replied indifferently.

Clack, the chess piece in Cao Tianhu’s hand dropped onto the board, his eyes revealing shock.

”To almost defeat an expert of the fourth layer of the Saint Realm while just at the Innate Peak Stage? How could this be possible?”

Cao Tianhu exclaimed in surprise, his face struggling to remain calm.

”Indeed, although this person is only at the Innate Peak Stage, whether it be the power of his True Qi, the explosive strength he shows, or his cultivation techniques, they are all incredibly strong.”

”In particular, his True Qi is more powerful than that of a Saint Realm second-layer martial artist. Moreover, he possesses a powerful martial technique that almost injured Ji Lingtian. And now he is also the vice-head of the Earth Group of the Special Security Bureau and wears the rank of junior general,” Cao Wuheng continued.

Cao Tianhu’s inner astonishment surged like waves, his pupils flickering constantly as he said:

”Such monstrous talent and strength truly make him a formidable opponent. If he’s already this fearsome at the Innate Peak Stage, his strength will be unimaginable once he steps into the Saint Realm!”

”Being able to contend against the Saint Realm at the Innate Realm, apart from those monstrous talents from the top-echelon powers, the only one I know of is Saint Tianyang, the Hierarch of the Holy Sky Alliance from a hundred years ago. I never expected a youngster from the mundane world to reach this step,” Cao Tianhu sighed.

”He is the first opponent I’ve taken seriously so far. And with the Special Security Bureau holding a selection competition internally to determine three spots for the Green Ranking Competition, he will likely be one of them. I am actually quite eager to compete with him during the Green Ranking Competition.”

Cao Wuheng’s lips curled into an unmistakably self-satisfied smile.

”Wuheng, don’t be careless. Since this youngster’s talent is so terrifying, he might be a strong opponent,” Cao Tianhu said in a serious voice.

”In my eyes, my true opponents are only those freakishly talented individuals from the top-tier forces. Although he’s decent, he’s not important enough to capture my attention. Despite his talent, it’s useless, he can only pique my interest,” Cao Wuheng said as a hint of faint disdain flashed through his eyes—disdain that only a strong person would have for someone weaker—an undeniable confidence in his own strength.

As Cao Wuheng left the small courtyard, a shrewd gleam of intelligence flickered in Cao Tianhu’s eyes.

”Tianying!”

Cao Tianhu called out faintly, and the void in front of him suddenly fluctuated. A black figure appeared out of nowhere, kneeling on the ground.

”Tianying pays respects to the master!”

”Investigate everything about this person. If he becomes an obstacle for Wuheng, kill him!” Cao Tianhu spoke with a calm voice, but the last word was uttered with a touch of decisiveness and ruthlessness.

”Yes, Master,” the black figure nodded, vanishing once again from sight.

”Wuheng, you’re still not truly decisive and ruthless enough. Any danger or obstacle must be nipped in the bud. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and an ant can eventually become as large as an elephant!” Cao Tianhu’s eyes shone with a sharp, discerning light that felt inscrutable.

Meanwhile, in another room of the Cao Family, Cao Jianjia appeared. She had taken off her military uniform and black vest, revealing the ornate garment underneath.

Looking at how much more swollen her body was in that area, Cao Jianjia’s eyes were filled with an indignant expression.

”That damn bastard, he really doesn’t know how to cherish a lady. He’s simply a shameless rascal,” Cao Jianjia cursed Ye Luo in her heart, her eyes flashing with a cold light.

”Wait and see, boy. I’ll definitely return today’s humiliation. I’ll show you just how formidable I, Cao Jianjia, am!”

As night fell, Ye Luo, the ladies, Xue Tu, and the others were riding in the luxurious motorcade Qin Yuru had sent to the airport, arriving outside an ancient-looking pavilion in Capital City.

The pavilion rose up ten stories, resembling an ancient inn from the outside. A brightly shining sign hung high above the entrance with the words ”Tianxiang Pavilion” written in large characters.

Tianxiang Pavilion was a famous dining spot in Capital City, reputed to have chefs whose ancestors served as imperial cooks in ancient palaces with superb culinary skills, hence its wide renown.

With its profound background, Tianxiang Pavilion had become a preferred destination for the elite society of Capital City.

This was evident from the rows of luxury cars parked outside, each worth no less than seven or eight hundred thousand, indicating that this place was not somewhere ordinary people could frequent.

The large group of people accompanying Ye Luo had come here specifically to dine. The initial plan to cook at home was scrapped due to the large number of people and the complexity involved, so it was proposed to dine out instead, and Situ Luoyun had led them here.
