Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 688: Chapter 687 Have you registered?

The Heart-controlling Technique is indeed the next stage of the Soul Searching Technique, evolving from observing someone’s mind to controlling it.

Of course, this Heart-controlling Technique requires considerably more power than the Soul Searching Technique. The key point is that it can only be done when there is a significant disparity in strength between two individuals.

With Su Yang’s current strength, although he is also a Sovereign, the fact is that the Sovereign is part of the Integration Realm. He currently cannot use the Soul Searching Technique on other experts in the Integration Realm, only on those below it.

And the Heart-controlling Technique, being even more difficult than the Soul Searching Technique, is limited to those below the Qi Refining Realm.

This short man can only be considered a minor figure skilled in martial arts, not even reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is why Su Yang could control him.

”Since there are no questions, let’s start the Divine Doctor Assembly,” said Gongye Xuan. ”Today we’ll first compete in medical skills, then in cultivation. Fortunately, we have many patients who came here today, and we can randomly select a few for everyone to treat. The one who cures the most patients will be today’s winner!”

Upon hearing this, the people around who had come for healing became excited. They were originally wondering how to get these divine doctors to help them, and unexpectedly, Gongye Xuan came up with this competitive method, prompting the doctors to rush to treat them. How could they not be pleased?

”Sect Leader Gongye, your benevolent spirit as a healer truly impresses me!” exclaimed Yang Lihua in a loud voice.

The others also spoke up with praise, and for a moment, the hall was filled with laudatory voices, causing the people of the Medical Saint Sect to be extremely proud.

However, Elder Jeang’s group was frowning. Gongye Xuan was indeed shameless. These people had to pay ten pieces of Supreme Green Jade to enter the mountain gate, and all that Supreme Green Jade ended up in the Medical Saint Sect’s pocket.

Now, Gongye Xuan was getting the Great Sects that came here to treat these people, which was essentially the Medical Saint Sect taking the money and having other sects treat patients for free.

However, to those patients, it seemed as if Gongye Xuan was considering their welfare, which is why he set these rules.

Thus, these people felt particularly grateful to Gongye Xuan and to the Medical Saint Sect, but they felt neither gratefulness nor the need to offer Supreme Green Jade to the Great Sects that were about to treat them.

And the most frustrating thing was that, under these circumstances, Elder Jeang and his group couldn’t say a word. If they spoke up, people would think they were petty, more concerned with their reputations and benefits than with the lives of the patients.

In essence, the situation was such that the Medical Saint Sect had taken all the advantages, yet the Great Sects still had to treat the patients. If they didn’t, they would have no chance at all.

Wu Chuanyang, who was in the distance, became excited. He had been worried about how to ask these divine doctors for treatment. He didn’t expect Gongye Xuan to establish such rules, and it seemed that his worries were over.

Gongye Xuan himself had a calm smile, as if he truly embodied a healer’s benevolence, and said loudly, ”We have tallied up and there are a total of seventeen patients present. Now, we would like these seventeen to come forward. Then, everyone can take turns. For each patient, you may all propose your own treatment plans, and we will judge on the spot, absolutely fair and impartial!”

With that, Gongye Xuan gestured grandly, saying, ”Please bring out the patients.”

The crowd immediately parted to create a pathway, followed by a stream of people walking in—the patients who had come to the mountain.

Seeing this, Wu Chuanyang hurriedly pulled his grandmother along to join the queue and ready themselves to walk onto the platform ahead.

However, just as they approached the platform, Wu Chuanyang was directly stopped.

”What are you doing?” demanded a young member of the Medical Saint Sect coldly.

”Well, my grandmother is also ill, and I am taking her up to receive treatment,” Wu Chuanyang said with a smile.

”Seventeen patients, and now we have them all. Your grandmother’s name isn’t even on the list!” the young man frowned.

”What?” Wu Chuanyang was shocked. ”There’s a list? But my grandmother is also a patient, and we also came up the mountain.”

”How did you get up the mountain?” the young man asked coldly. ”Did you register at the foot of the mountain or not?”

”What... what registration...” Wu Chuanyang was completely confused.

”It’s when you give the Supreme Green Jade at the foot of the mountain, they would do the registration. Did you register?” the young man asked.

”This...” Wu Chuanyang spoke in a low voice, ”We came up with the people from the Yang Family, so... we forgot to register...”

”People from the Yang Family?” the young man asked coldly. ”The Yang Family already has one patient. You didn’t register, so this has nothing to do with you now.”

”What?” Wu Chuanyang panicked. ”But my grandmother’s condition is very serious. Is there... is there any way to make an exception?”

”Make an exception for what?” the young man said coldly. ”Didn’t you hear what the Sect Leader just said? Seventeen patients, that means seventeen patients. If you go up now, that makes eighteen. Wouldn’t that make it seem like our Sect Leader’s word means nothing?”

Wu Chuanyang looked anxious and said with a trembling voice, ”Big brother, I’m really sorry. But my grandmother’s condition is indeed very serious. I beg you...”

The young man said indignantly, ”Begging for what? If you knew it was serious, then you shouldn’t have scrimped on the Green Jade. If you had registered at the foot of the mountain earlier, none of this would’ve happened!”

Wu Chuanyang was filled with regret now and quickly said, ”Big brother, I was wrong. How about this... I’ll give the Supreme Green Jade now. Can you register me now, please...”

”Impossible!” the young man said bluntly. ”The Sect Leader said seventeen, so it’s seventeen. You didn’t offer the Green Jade and came up the mountain, and now you want us to treat the patient; that’s like deceiving our Medical Saint Sect. Do you think we’re easy to bully?”

Wu Chuanyang was stunned. How had it come to this?

”Big brother...” Wu Chuanyang wanted to say more, but the young man simply waved his hand, ”Drag him down for me!”

A few people nearby immediately came over, grabbed Wu Chuanyang and his grandmother, and, without a word, started to take them away.

Wu Chuanyang desperately tried to struggle, but someone from the Medical Saint Sect covered his mouth and dragged him out. He couldn’t speak at all.

On the other side, Wu Xiyue was still excitedly watching the scene, gripping Yang Lihua’s arm.

Suddenly, Su Yang said, ”Miss Wu?”

Wu Xiyue turned her head, her expression turned cold as she said sharply, ”What do you want? Are we familiar? Calling my name like that, are you looking for trouble?”

Without a care, Su Yang said calmly, ”It seems there’s some trouble over there with your brother and your grandmother!”

Only then did Wu Xiyue notice that her brother and grandmother were almost dragged out of the scene.

She immediately became anxious and quickly grasped Yang Lihua’s arm, ”Brother Yang, look, what’s happening over there? What... What are they doing to my brother and my grandmother!”
