Unrivaled Medicine God c1-1444

“I-I understand, I will go all out to finish him!”

  Feeling Wan Yuan’s wrath, Fei Qingping did not dare to be arrogant and meekly promised this.

  With a sigh, Wan Yuan said, “Qingping, I know that you feel Ye Yuan isn’t even worth looking at. Actually, isn’t that the same for me? But this time around after he returned to the academy, I keep feeling that there’s something off.”

  “Off? Off in what way?” Fei Qingping could not help but became curious after Wan Yuan said that.

  He knew that even though Wan Yuan was younger than him by two years, he was very prudent in doing things, just like his father.

  Regardless of whether it was talent or intelligence, Fei Qingping was much worse than Wan Yuan. That was why he was sincerely convinced to be his follower.

  “Today, I went to find him to destroy his spirit and give him some trouble. I used 70% of my power, but I failed to catch him! Who knows when that punk managed to learn Instant Flash and even trained it to the great success stage!”

  “What? Instant Flash?! Great success stage?! H-how is that possible?”

  Fei Qingping was startled. He apparently knew what Instant Flash at the great success stage meant. It meant that Ye Yuan was already standing at an undefeatable position.

  If it was like this, Wan Yuan’s warning was not an unnecessary action!

  As if he was confirming his exchange with Ye Yuan today, Wan Yuan mused for a moment before nodding his head, saying, “That’s right. It’s Instant Flash at the great success stage!”

  “I-isn’t that too shameless? How could he possibly manage to learn such profound footwork? Could it be a fluke?” Fei Qingping suddenly started to ramble incoherently.

  Wan Yuan said in a deep voice, “A fluke? Why don’t you try executing Instant Flash at the great success stage by luck for me to see?!”

  ” . . .”

  “Actually, he stirred up a lot of trouble during his trip back to the capital. He even went to the Drunken Star Manor to make a scene, and Father was unable to do anything to him. This time around on the way back here, Father arranged for a Mosha assassin. Yet the result was that Ye Yuan actually arrived at the academy safely! That’s why I feel that there is something odd about Ye Yuan after he came back!”

  “Then . . . what should I do?” At this point, Fei Qingping was thoroughly panicking.

  Patting his shoulders, Wan Yuan slowly said, “Relax. Even if he is a little unusual, the difference in strength between the two of you can’t be made up! However, you can’t let down your guard during these three days. You have to make full use of all the time you have!”

  Hearing Wan Yuan said all these, Fei Qingping really did not dare to lower his guard this time. This battle was a deathmatch where life and death must be determined. Fei Qingping was not willing to treat his life jokingly.

  “Young Master Wan, just tell me what I have to do. I will absolutely listen to you!”

  Seeing how he really took things seriously, Wan Yuan took out a bottle of medicinal pills and placed it in front of Fei Qingping. He said, “This is the Essence Gathering Pills that my Father refined. Its effectiveness is 50% greater than Essence Qi Pills! These three days, you will use these pills to raise your strength. You must definitely break through to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm!”

  Fei Qingping’s eyes lit up. If he could break through to Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm, then his chances of victory would increase significantly. Just as Wan Yuan said, the difference in strength was not something that can easily be breached. A Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist versus a Third Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist; he really had no reason to lose!

  Immediately, Fei Qingping gave a deep bow and said gratefully, “Many thanks for Young Master Wan’s support!”

  Nodding his head, Wan Yuan acknowledged it calmly and continued saying, “Another thing. These three days, you also have to put all your effort into training the Lesser Capturing Hand. Use it to counter Instant Flash, and you will be in an invincible position.

  . . . . . .

  In a training room at the Dan Wu Academy.

  Ye Yuan stood quietly with his eyes tightly shut as if asleep.

  Ever since he looked at the jade piece, Ye Yuan was already standing here for close to two hours!

  Suddenly, Ye Yuan’s eyes snapped open.

  Taking a step back, he then executed a palm movement!

  “Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave!”

  A burst of wind carried forward, and with a boom, a fleshy palm smashed onto the wall!

  A dent was made on the wall, but one could see it rapidly recovering with their naked eyes.

  Looking at the wall, Ye Yuan shook his head, “This Stacking Waves Layered Palm is indeed hard to train. No wonder Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao advised me to give up. I already used two hours to adjust the essence energy in my body, yet this palm still doesn’t have the effects of the First Layer Wave.”

  Ye Yuan sighed. If Zhao Chunyang saw this, his jaws would definitely drop, followed by scolding Ye Yuan being an ungrateful wrench.

  One has to know, back then when Long Tan was training his martial technique, the First Layer Wave was only mastered after a month.

  Even though Ye Yuan did not mastered it yet, he was not far from mastering the First Layer Wave already. Furthermore, he merely used two hours.

  “Once more!” Ye Yuan was not discouraged. Following the original method stated, he started to circulate the essence energy within his body once again.

  Stacking Waves Layered Palm was actually a martial technique that creates a resonance between essence energy within the human body and heaven and earth essence energy, amplifying it in order to damage the enemies.

  Just like how tossing a rock into water will cause ripples to spread outwards.

  Describing it seemed easy, but to actually accomplish it was as hard as reaching the heaven.

  Heaven and earth essence energy was a vague and ethereal existence. In order to create a resonance, one needed to have an incredibly profound understanding towards heaven and earth essence energy.

  To martial artists, cultivating essence energy was instinctive. One would just need to gather essence energy according to their corresponding martial skill.

  It was merely a matter of knowing how to do something, but not understanding why.

  Although every martial artist cultivated essence energy, most likely no one would be able to say what exactly was essence energy.

  As cultivation realm increased, martial artists would gain a deeper understanding towards essence energy.

  When completely ignorant about essence energy, one could only go through non-stop training to be able to slowly grasp that sort of resonance in order to master Stacking Waves Layered Palm. That was the reason why this palm technique was so difficult to learn.

  Ye Yuan possessed an extremely high cultivation realm in his past life. Furthermore, he also had extremely great attainments in Alchemy Dao. That was why it was much easier for him to learn this technique.

  Slowly raising his right palm, a faint earthly-yellow glow started to condense on Ye Yuan’s palm, forming a tiny vortex.

  Releasing a palm strike, that faint yellow light spread out like water ripples.

  Peng!

  The wall sunk in heavily and the dent even deeper than previously.

  Stacking Waves Layered Palm!

  Ye Yuan managed to execute it on his second palm strike!

  “Well, that’s the feeling alright. But it still isn’t that stable. Also, the execution time is too long. Looks like I still need to practice more,” Ye Yuan muttered to himself.

  . . . . . .

  In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

  On this morning, the combat arena was surrounded by a lot of people that not even water could seep through.

  After three days of seething, virtually everyone in the Dan Wu Academy kn
ew about Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping’s deathmatch.

  In this world, there was no lack of people who liked to watch a good show. It was the same everywhere.

  Even though the ones fighting in the deathmatch were just two small characters, it was still a deathmatch. It meant that one party would definitely die. Who would miss out on such a good show?

  After all, there had not been a deathmatch in the Dan Wu Academy for over two years.

  The deathmatch had not even started yet, but everyone was already discussing in groups of threes and fives.

  “Who do you guys think will win?”

  Another person looked at him as if he was an idiot. “Are you retarded? A Third Level Essence Qi Realm versus a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm; what’s there to guess? Do you think that Ye Yuan is Senior Brother Apprentice Long?”

  “Hehe. Who knows? Perhaps that Ye Yuan has something surprising up his sleeves. Don’t you know that he spent the past few days cultivating in a closed-door seclusion? Maybe when he appears, he would be at Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm already?” That person did not mind and laughed instead.

  His words were once again met with disdain. “What’s the use of hugging Buddha’s feet at the last moment? Ye Yuan isn’t the only one who went into a closed-door seclusion. That Fei Qingping also spent three days in a closed-door seclusion. I heard that Fei Qingping has been stuck at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm for a long time. This time around, who knows if he might directly break through to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm. That Ye Yuan is definitely dead.”

  “That’s not necessarily true! I heard that Ye Yuan managed to learn Instant Flash, and it’s even at the great success stage. This practically means that he is in an undefeatable position.”

  “Instant Flash? What’s the use? Shitty combat power, low cultivation realm; don’t tell me he has to keep using Instant Flash? When his essence energy is finally depleted, wouldn’t he still be defeated? Furthermore, Instant Flash might be amazing, but it isn’t invincible, okay!”

  “I’m guessing that Ye Yuan is making up for his weaknesses during these three days of closed-door seclusion. It’s hard to increase cultivation realm in a short period of time, so it’s possible he’s training some amazing martial techniques. I heard that a few days before, Ye Yuan went to the Scripture Library. Oh right, wasn’t it Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao on duty then? Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao, what martial technique did Ye Yuan choose?”

  Zhao Chunyang who was currently listening to the strength analysis did not expect the topic to suddenly switch to him.

  Hearing their question, he directly replied, “It’s the Stacking Waves Layered Palm.”

  “Pfft! I already said so. This Ye Yuan is outrageous! Plenty to choose from, yet he just had to choose this martial technique. Even Senior Apprentice Brother Long spent a month before he managed to master the First Layer Wave. Ye Yuan is too confident. Does he think he’s stronger than Senior Apprentice Brother Long? Even if he is stronger than Senior Apprentice Brother Long, how long does he need to master the First Layer Wave? Half a month? Ten days? Seven days? Hahaha!” The more that person spoke, the funnier he found it, and he could not help but laugh out loud.

  “Uh. So it’s that martial technique? I was still hoping that he could create a miracle by becoming a dark horse, and finishing off that Fei Qingping. Looks like I was expecting too much. I reckon this deathmatch doesn’t have any more value to watch. That Ye Yuan is dead.”

  ‘I’ve long said that there isn’t anything worth watching, but you didn’t believe me. This Ye Yuan is just a silkpants whose father forcefully raised him by two cultivation realms. What combat power can he have? If it wasn’t a deathmatch, I wouldn’t even be bothered to come and watch. Make a guess, how many moves will Fei Qingping take to finish off Ye Yuan?”

  “That . . . Twenty moves?” this person said uncertainly.

  “Twenty moves? You are expecting too much! At best five moves!”

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao, what do you think?” another person asked Zhao Chunyang.

  “Uh . . . That I’m not too sure. But I feel that it might not be impossible for Ye Yuan,” Zhao Chunyang replied.

  Zhao Chunyang was not confident enough, but ever since encountering Ye Yuan that day, he felt that something would happen. But all of the signs clearly showed that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to win. Zhao Chunyang did not know why he had this feeling either.

  That person thought he heard wrong and was just about to open his mouth when another voice sounded off from behind him.

  “Ten moves. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye wins!”

  That voice did not make any attempts to hide, and many of the surrounding people heard it.

  Muttering.

  That voice was like a bomb that just went off, and everyone glanced over in that direction.

  Before this, everyone’s opinions were one-sided; thinking that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to win. The two who were predicting how many moves Ye Yuan would last before he loses were not in the minority.

  Therefore, this voice could be said to be very different, resulting in all the other discussions ceased.

  “Tang Yu, are you alright?” Someone recognized who it was. It was precisely Tang Yu who returned to the Dan Wu Academy with Ye Yuan. There was even a young lady beside him, who was Lu-er.

  “That’s right, Tang Yu. I’ve heard that you’ve been walking very closely with that moron recently. Is that why you also became retarded?”

  “Hahaha!”

  The matter of Tang Yu and Ye Yuan returning together obviously could not be hidden from others. It was dug out over these few days.

  Tang Yu emotionlessly swept a look over everyone and gave a cold smile. He then said, “100 Essence Qi Pills. Who dares to wager with me?”

  Tang Yu’s words once again made everyone silent, but their expressions were even more like they were looking at a fool.

  “Tang Yu, did you really become stupid?”

  “Enough crap. If I lose, I will pay each and every one of you 100 Essence Qi Pills. But if I win, each one of you will pay me 100 Essence Qi pills. If you don’t dare, then shut up!” At this moment, Tang Yu’s domineering air seeped out.

  As expected, the moment he said that most of the people immediately shut up.

  100 Essence Qi Pills were not a small amount. It was practically the amount of their usage for three months. Even though there were plenty of people who did not mind, it was still a large enough number to make the majority felt pain for several months.

  “Let’s wager then. Who’s scared of you? But there are at least several hundred people here. If you lose, can you afford to pay?” At this moment, those who were on good terms with Wan Yuan could not look on anymore, and one of them immediately jumped out and confronted Tang Yu.

  Tang Yu gave a cold laugh and took out a bottle of medicinal pills.

  “Transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill! Siii . . . All of them are transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills!” That person stared till his eyes nearly popped out.

  The value of one transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill could sufficiently match with ten ordinary high-grade Essence Qi Pills. These medicinal pills were all refined by Ye Yuan before he went into a closed-door seclusion. He long foresaw this scene, and so he decided to use this chance to make a windfall.

  “I will wager with you!”

  The audience turned towards the voice, only to see Wan Yuan walking in with Liu Ruoshui and Fei Qingping.

  “I will wager with you!”

  The moment Wan Yuan appeared, he brought with him an imposing air, affecting Tang Yu to the point he was out of breath.

  “Fine!” Tang Yu did not answer ambiguously and directly accepted it.

  “Since we are wagering, let’s play a little bigger!” Wan Yuan was smiling coldly at Tang Yu, making people felt that his scheme had succeeded.

  “How do you want
to play?” Tang Yu gritted his teeth and asked.

  “One thousand pills! Transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills! How about it? Do you dare to play?” Seeing Tang Yu’s facial expression, he felt increasingly satisfied.

  Tang Yu seemed to have been scared by this figure as he revealed a difficult expression.

  “Although Ye Yuan is disappointing, his father Ye Hang is an Alchemy Grandmaster that everyone looks up to. It can’t be that you can’t even take out this bit of Essence Qi Pills, right?” Seeing Tang Yu’s expression, he became even more pleased with himself.

  “Fine! One thousand then! Do you think I’m scared of you?” Tang Yu gritted his teeth and said.

  “Hahaha! You got guts! Now, everybody heard that? If the time comes, and one goes back on his word, everyone will go to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion together to find Ye Hang,” Wan Yuan shouted loudly.

  Many people saw Tang Yu’s expression and felt more confident despite having no basis.

  “I will bet too. 100 high-grade Essence Qi Pills!”

  “I will bet too.”

  “Me too!”

  . . . . . .

  After hearing Ye Hang’s name, everyone was no longer worried that Ye Yuan would repudiate his debt. So they all verbally agreed to the wager one after another.

  After finding someone to be a witness, those participating in the wager signed on the paper one after another, and this matter was considered fixed.

  Looking at all these people’s signatures, Tang Yu was overjoyed.

  “Looks like Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is still the best. These people just lost their money. In the future, we won’t lack Essence Qi Pills anymore. There will be as many as we want!” Tang Yu thought to himself.

  Others might not know, but Tang Yu had seen with his own eyes how Ye Yuan used his Third Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation to kill a Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm assassin. How could he possibly be defeated by a minor character like Fei Qingping?

  Not everyone had the guts to participate in the wager. The final count of all those who signed the paper was more than 200 people. There was an enormous quantity of Essence Qi Pills at stake!
