Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 170: Chapter 169 [Let Ling Yuxun Wait for an Hour]

In order to find a healer superpower user to treat Xiao Ya’s mother, Ye Tianchen had tried all sorts of methods before he finally convinced Cang Lang to bring out the data collected over many years on superpower users from China. However, after nearly finishing all the files on superpower users, Ye Tianchen became more and more disappointed, as he did not find a single piece of information on healer superpower users.

Just when Ye Tianchen thought he had to find another way, he suddenly got his hands on a piece of paper, which had only four words on it, yet these were words that could even shock him: Divine Doctor Ghost Hand!

Upon hearing Cang Lang’s account, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but be secretly astonished and was almost certain that Divine Doctor Ghost Hand was a healer superpower user and incredibly powerful at that—someone who could extend a dying person’s life by twenty years and confidently claim that after those twenty years, there would be no more power to reverse fate. It was a thought that was truly terrifying.

”Exactly how Divine Doctor Ghost Hand did it, no one knows, because at that time, it was said that only he and the supreme leader were in that room, surrounded by the nation’s most elite guards!” Cang Lang paused before saying.

”Has there been any news about Divine Doctor Ghost Hand over these years?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

”No, after he prolonged the supreme leader’s life , he vanished without a trace!” Cang Lang shook his head and said.

Ye Tianchen frowned. Naturally, he was very pleased to have news of Divine Doctor Ghost Hand as it meant there was at least a glimmer of hope to save Xiao Ya’s mother. However, there had been no news of Divine Doctor Ghost Hand for decades; it was unknown if he was still alive, let alone if finding him was feasible.

Still, Ye Tianchen had a premonition that Divine Doctor Ghost Hand must still be alive because the man was very smart. Why would someone with such exquisite medical skills and strong superpowers just disappear without a trace after prolonging the life of the supreme leader by twenty years?

The reasoning was simple: his medical skills had reached such a height that helping the nation’s supreme leader live another two decades had been shocking enough. Despite his claim that after twenty years there would be no power to reverse fate, many wouldn’t believe such a statement. Even then, when the supreme leader faced a crisis again, they would seek him out. In such moments, Divine Doctor Ghost Hand might not only fail to work wonders but also face mortal peril.

It was as if a person, when on the verge of death, was saved by a doctor, and because of that, he trusted this doctor to save him a second time. But if the doctor could not succeed, the fear of death could drive the person to madness, even to killing.

So Divine Doctor Ghost Hand was a very clever man; after prolonging the life of the supreme leader by twenty years, he disappeared immediately, precisely to avoid the subsequent threat to his life.

”It seems that finding Divine Doctor Ghost Hand will be truly difficult!” Ye Tianchen mused to himself.

”Indeed, it’s tough because it is said that Divine Doctor Ghost Hand’s Disguise Skill is very profound, impossible for ordinary people to see through!” Cang Lang also shook his head and added.

”Disguise Skill? Divine Doctor Ghost Hand knows Disguise Skill?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

”That’s right, Divine Doctor Ghost Hand once taught this ultimate technique to the nation’s special forces. Even now, they’re still using it and have never been exposed...” Cang Lang nodded and stated.

”Great, I’ve got a lead!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but say with a smile.

”Huh? What’s your purpose in finding Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, young man? To cure an illness?”

Cang Lang was taken aback. Initially, he thought Ye Tianchen was just curious and wanted to find powerful superpower users for a challenge, considering him a combative type. But he hadn’t expected that Ye Tianchen was actually seeking Divine Doctor Ghost Hand. Cang Lang couldn’t comprehend what Ye Tianchen was really up to.

”Yes, to treat your impotence!” Ye Tianchen joked with a laugh.

”You little... looking for a beating!” Cang Lang turned around just as Ye Tianchen had already jumped out of the car, leaving him speechless and looking disparagingly at the young man.

”Thanks! I’ll treat you to a meal sometime, how about noodles...” Ye Tianchen shouted at Cang Lang.

Watching Cang Lang drive away in the military off-road vehicle, Ye Tianchen held the piece of paper that read ”Divine Doctor Ghost Hand” and couldn’t help but laugh. He had finally found a healer-type superpower user, giving Xiao Ya’s mother a chance to live. But the difficulty of finding Divine Doctor Ghost Hand was undoubtedly significant. Back then, the nation must have sent many people, many experts looking for him, and yet, they couldn’t find him. It showed Divine Doctor Ghost Hand had been prepared. Ye Tianchen just hoped that after all these years, Divine Doctor Ghost Hand’s vigilance had waned and that his own bold speculation would turn out to be correct.

After returning home, Ye Tianchen sat at the dining table and began to eat breakfast. His mother’s cooking was always his favourite, especially the fried sauce noodles, which he had loved since childhood, always consuming two large bowls before stopping.

”Mom, is there any more noodles? Can you add some more for me?” Ye Tianchen called out to the kitchen while eating.

”There’s some left; you and your big appetite...” Luo Yan laughed as she came out with a small bowl of noodles and added them to Ye Tianchen’s bowl.

”Of course, my mom’s fried sauce noodles are way tastier than what’s outside. Many people can’t even get them even if they queue up!” Ye Tianchen chuckled and said.

”You, oh right, Yuxun just called you. She said you need to go to the school quickly, there’s some urgent matter!” Luo Yan remembered the call from Ling Yuxun not long ago and hurriedly spoke up.

”Hmm, okay. This girl is so annoying early in the morning. She was pissed off by me last night and now she’s calling me this morning; her skin is too thick...” Ye Tianchen grumbled as he slurped his noodles.

”What did you say? Yuxun was driven away by you last night?” When Luo Yan heard her son Ye Tianchen muttering to himself, she immediately became serious and asked.

”Ah? No, nothing. Mom, you heard wrong. How could I possibly upset Yuxun, huh? We’ve been childhood friends forever. I would never provoke her!” Seeing the look on his mother’s face, Ye Tianchen was so scared he hurriedly explained.

Luo Yan shook her head. Deep down, she began to worry. Her son used to be a wastrel, now he’s turned sensible, but his EQ has always been low. She truly worried that he would never be able to find a wife and she would never be able to hug a grandchild.

Ye Tianchen quickly finished his noodles, washed up simply, and left the house in his white T-shirt, board shorts, and a pair of sandals, to the dismay of his mother Luo Yan who thought his look was embarrassingly inadequate. She wanted to tell Ye Tianchen to come back and change into something nicer, but the young man had already sped off on his motorcycle.

On the way, Ye Tianchen revved the motorcycle’s throttle to the max. He enjoyed this feeling immensely—the gentle breeze skimming over him, giving a sense of release. He didn’t stop until he reached the gate of Longteng University, drawing quite a few stares from fellow male and female students.

This time, the stares from the male and female students weren’t because of Ye Tianchen’s good looks, but because of his outfit that didn’t match the super cool motorcycle at all. This motorcycle, always Ye Tianchen’s ride, was worth at the very least hundreds of thousands, incredibly majestic and domineering. Yet, his attire just made people speechless.

”Who’s that country bumpkin? It’s a pity for such a nice motorcycle; such a waste!”

”You... you keep your voice down, he’s the one who beat up Xuanyuan Yu...”

”What? No way, this...”

”I heard Li Yi brought Taekwondo experts over and they couldn’t handle this guy, too awesome...”

”He beat up Xuanyuan Yu and still managed to live to see the next day? This dude is seriously badass!”

A crowd of nosy students couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. Ye Tianchen immediately saw Ling Yuxun had already been waiting there for him, puffing up her cute little face, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen with her beautiful eyes. The anger from the previous night hadn’t faded, and now she had been waiting at Longteng University for almost an hour for Ye Tianchen to show up. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling a strong impulse to thrash him.

”You’re just getting here now? Don’t you know this Miss has been waiting here for almost an hour?” Ling Yuxun glared at Ye Tianchen and demanded.

”You decided to wait on your own. What’s that got to do with me!” Ye Tianchen retorted, clearly irritated.

”You...”

”Let’s go, let’s go. Spit it out already...” Ye Tianchen cut Yuxun off and then strode into the school gate without waiting for her.

Ling Yuxun was nearly driven mad by Ye Tianchen. Making a girl wait for nearly an hour, any guy would have tried to sweet-talk a bit, at least not act like Ye Tianchen, whose EQ was so low it might as well be zero. He lacked any sense of gentleness and consideration that a man should have toward a woman.

Although Ling Yuxun was angry, she really had no way to deal with Ye Tianchen. She stamped her little foot in vexation and followed, keeping up with him. ”Today is the first day of registration and you’re already late. You’ll definitely be punished by the tutor, hmph!”

”Is the tutor a man or a woman?” Ye Tianchen asked, seemingly out of nowhere.

”You’re a freshman, I’m a sophomore, and you’re asking me if your tutor is male or female?” Ling Yuxun said, a vein nearly popping in frustration.

”I don’t know, huh. If I don’t know then it doesn’t matter. Seems you’re not familiar with Longteng University either!” Ye Tianchen shrugged his shoulders.

”Your tutor is a woman, a very beautiful woman, a woman who is only twenty-two years old!” Ling Yuxun said irritably.

”Twenty-two and already a tutor? Seems she must be very beautiful indeed. Let’s go have a look...” Ye Tianchen chuckled.

Yesterday was the day for enrollment, and today was for registration, to report to the tutors so they know the number of students in the class. Ye Tianchen had incredibly signed up for the Archaeology Department, another bewildering highlight to Ling Yuxun. (To be continued.
