Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1739: Chapter 1738: Drinking Together as Three People

With this, the God Ranking has announced the top ten Tianjiao between the ages of twenty and thirty within the World Martial Arts Community.

After the announcement, Lin Tiance of the Lin Family from the Capital City gazed at the list, and his envy grew even more profound upon seeing the top position on the list.

”How come I, the chosen one, am overshadowed by Lin Dong all the time!”

”Damn it, if only I had acquired his bloodline power when I was young. Then everything he has now would have belonged to me.”

Lin Tiance’s constitution was that of the ’Nine Suns Constitution’. When he was a child, the solar fire from his ’Nine Suns Constitution’ would flare up and cause side effects, inflicting immense pain upon him.

At that time, it was only by drawing blood from Lin Dong that he could suppress the outburst of solar fire. Later, his grandma decided to extract Lin Dong’s bone marrow and replace all his blood with Lin Tiance’s. This would completely suppress the side effects of Lin Tiance’s ’Nine Suns Constitution’.

Furthermore, by using a secret method, it was also possible to transfer Lin Dong’s ’Nine Dragons Constitution’ onto Lin Tiance.

Fortunately, at that time, Lin Dong’s father, Lin Zhantian, returned to the clan. After learning of the matter, he broke off with the Lin family and took Lin Dong away.

Although Lin Tiance was still young at the time, he retains a vague memory of the incident.

”If at that time, grandma had extracted all of Lin Dong’s bone marrow and blood and replaced them in me, and by using the secret method, seized his bloodline, then everything Lin Dong has now would have been mine,” muttered Lin Tiance.

”And in this world, there would be no Lin Dong. He would have died back then. There’d only be Lin Tiance!”

He thought that if his grandma had successfully replaced Lin Dong’s bloodline in him when he was young, he could have had Lin Dong’s life.

All the strength, fame, and achievements that Lin Dong possesses now would have been Lin Tiance’s.

But little did he know that even if he possessed Lin Dong’s ’Nine Dragons Bloodline’, Lin Dong’s life was not something he could replicate.

After all, bloodline and heritage alone do not determine one’s achievements. There are many more postnatal factors!

...

The publication of the Top Ten Tianjiao,

made the world recognize the Tianjiao of this generation of martial artists even more; the people of the Martial Arts World have started talking about it.

”The Tianjiao of this generation really shimmer like stars. There are so many Earth Realm martial artists among martial artists between the ages of twenty and thirty!”

”Sigh, I’ve been cultivating for fifty years and have only reached Grandmaster strength. Compared with these top ten Tianjiao, it seems like I practiced in vain.”

”The reason why Tianjiao are called Tianjiao is that they have the talent to suppress an era!”

”Any of the other nine out of these ten Tianjiao could easily suppress an era on their own. Unfortunately, they encountered the era of Master Lin, so no matter how excellent they are, they can only be like green leaves in Master Lin’s presence.”

”Yes, each and every one of them has the ability to challenge beyond their level. Even Li Nanzhi, a peak Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, is capable of fighting a Second Stage Grandmaster. Such a performance, in the history of martial arts, is very rare to achieve.”

”It’s a pity, though, that the nine major Tianjiao are really far behind when compared to Master Lin.”

”Look at the gap between the second and the first place; the strength of the second-place holder is only at the peak of the Second Stage Grandmaster, but Master Lin has the strength of a Ninth Stage Grandmaster. The difference is too huge!”

”The gap between the second place and the rest isn’t that wide. But the gap between the second place and the first, Master Lin, is like that between the clouds and the mud; it’s just too vast.”

”Don’t forget, Master Lin can also challenge beyond his level. Before this, he, at the peak of the Eighth Stage Grandmaster, was able to defeat the Mid-phase of Ninth-Stage Grandmaster, Qingye Death God!”

”It’s just unfortunate for the other nine Tianjiao to have encountered Master Lin.”

”However, Master Lin probably won’t live for much longer. Tomorrow, he will face his battle with King Kunlun, and after this battle, Master Lin will be no more.”

”Speaking of tomorrow’s battle, it will surely be a duel that shakes the Martial Arts World. This battle represents a showdown between the new generation of Tianjiao of the Dragon Country and the older generation Tianjiao.”

”...”

People of the Martial Arts World chattered among themselves, moving from the topic of the top ten Tianjiao to the battle between Master Lin and King Kunlun that’s coming tomorrow.

While the issue of the top ten Tianjiao also caused a sensation in the World Martial Arts Community,

it ultimately couldn’t compare to the battle between Lin Dong and King Kunlun tomorrow.

As the protagonist of these two events, Lin Dong is currently drinking with Li Zhaixing in the Glazed Tower on Xiang Mountain.

Li Nanzhi, who was at their side, was rolling her eyes and said to Lin Dong, ”Tomorrow is your big battle with King Kunlun. How can you still be in the mood for drinking at a time like this?”

Lin Dong took a sip of the centuries-old Daughter’s Red and praised, ”Good wine!”

Then, he responded to Li Nanzhi, ”What else should I do then? What do you think I should be doing on the last day?”

”See to your final arrangements? Or maybe retreat and meditate?”

Li Nanzhi was left speechless.

Yes, what could Lin Dong possibly do on his last day?

Retreat and meditate to break through to a higher realm?

How could that be possible in a single day?

It would be better to completely let go on this last day, think of nothing, and go to battle in the most relaxed state possible.

”Fine, I’ll join you in drinking today,” said Li Nanzhi.

Upon hearing that, Lin Dong joked, ”Aren’t you a monk? Don’t monks abstain from alcohol and lust?”

Li Nanzhi replied, ”In our Secret Sect, we abstain neither from wine nor from desire.”

”Enough chatter, bring the wine. Today, I too wish to savor the taste of wine!”

As she spoke, she stretched out her fair-skinned palm and called out loudly to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was taken aback for a moment, then tossed the wine jug to Li Nanzhi.

Li Nanzhi caught it and began to drink from the spout of the jug.

A large gulp of strong alcohol poured into her mouth.

Lin Dong suddenly thought of something.

He had also drunk from the spout of the jug just now, and now Li Nanzhi was doing the same—didn’t that mean the two had indirectly kissed?

”Cough cough...” Strong alcohol should not be guzzled, and Li Nanzhi’s chugging caused her to cough from the burn, spraying the wine from her mouth.

She grimaced and said to Lin Dong and Li Zhaixing, ”This wine isn’t tasty at all. It’s too harsh; I really don’t understand why you guys like to drink.”

Lin Dong and Li Zhaixing burst into hearty laughter.

Li Zhaixing said, ”Hard liquor can’t drown worldly sorrows, if tea could intoxicate, who would need wine? Hahaha, the wine isn’t tasty, but it intoxicates. That is probably why people love to drink!”

Lin Dong then took the jug of wine from Li Nanzhi’s hand, raised his cup to the clear sky, and laughed loudly:

”Drink to the fullest today for today’s wine, tomorrow’s worries can wait until tomorrow!”

”I raise my cup to invite the moon, turning a solitary drink into a party of three! Hahaha, good wine, good wine!”

Listening to the words of Lin Dong and Li Zhaixing, Li Nanzhi snatched the jug back from Lin Dong and took another drink.

This time, she drank slowly, and after finishing, she couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

”Wine is indeed a fine thing!”

”How can one be in Jianghu without this fine wine?” Li Zhaixing also laughed merrily.

No matter what happens tomorrow, drink to the fullest today with today’s wine.

At this moment, another voice rang out.

”This young monk comes from the Western Regions of Dragon Country, arrived in the Capital today, and amidst the floral moonlight, wishes to exchange a few moves with Master Lin. I wonder if Master Lin would be willing to fulfill this monk’s wish?”
