Chapter 276: 0193 Taihang Group of Dragons (4k)

Among the ten prodigies of Dragon City, he was hailed as the Foremost of Dragon City!

This honor was something Guo Bai dearly coveted.

Just last year, he was a mere step away from joining the ranks of the Dragon City’s ten. Over the past year, he first perfected his Qi-Blood to 8 points, then comprehended Innate Strength, advanced his Fist Theory to the realm of Divine Intention, and not long ago he even opened 30 Acupoints, securing a seemingly guaranteed victory.

However, Lu Chenzhou emerged unexpectedly from the middle of the road.

This youth had not even qualified for the Super Dragon-Swim Competition last year.

But in less than a year, his strength had caught up to his.

Moreover, the youth possessed unparalleled skill in Cross Training.

Guo Bai lost, and his loss was not unjust.

"Second place in Dragon City... alas."

His eyes bloodshot and vision blurry, his consciousness was also fading.

A Martial Artist physician with high prowess climbed onto the platform and said,

"Internal injuries are quite serious... administer Great Medicine ’Rejuvenation Pill’."

"Broken bones in the arm need to be surgically fixed, the Great Medicine will nourish them... and require the presence of a Crane Forms Grandmaster, who will use Long Spring True Gang to heal in conjunction with the treatment, speeding up recovery; there must be no neglect."

"The patient needs to rest for more than three months, during which time he cannot practice boxing."

Streams of information flooded into Guo Bai’s mind.

Bitterness filled his heart.

"Rejuvenation Pill, 200 Great Merit."

"Inviting the Grandmaster for the healing, 500 Great Merit."

"Rest for three months, I might as well have advanced to a Martial Artist."

As a special talent, if injured inside the school or during official competitions, the school would bear all medical expenses. He wasn’t worried about not being able to heal. With his nearly Martial Artist-level physique combined with expensive treatments, he was certain to recover... it was just a matter of delaying his boxing practice.

"Forget it, I have no regrets about this fight, exhilarating!"

Battle is the very essence of Martial Arts!

...

Elsewhere.

Lu Chenzhou was also surrounded by the medical team.

After examining his body, a doctor said,

"Well now, worthy of someone who practices Cross Training... Tibia, metatarsal, and minor fractures in the finger bones, some damage to the leg bones and joints, slight internal bleeding in the organs."

For an ordinary person, these injuries would be enough to deal with, but as an Extreme Limit Realm Martial Artist, the doctor spoke lightly, unconcerned.

The doctor eventually said,

"It’s nothing serious, go back and take the Blood Replenishing Pill, rest for two weeks. During this time, you may practice boxing normally, but avoid intense physical competition, understand?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded obediently.

On the Martial Arts Tree, his proficiency in the Golden Body Skill had gone up a bit.

"Taking a beating does have its benefits."

He looked at Guo Bai and asked,

"Doctor, he’s not in serious trouble, is he?"

This was the first time he had inflicted such severe injuries on someone, but there was no helping it. Both of them had gone all out at the end, making it impossible to pull their punches.

If he had held back, he would have been the one injured.

The doctor smiled and said,

"First time you’ve hit someone to injury in a competition, eh?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded.

The doctor continued,

"No worries, this is all too common... When your level is low, your punches lack power, and you probably play nice, following the rules of ’stop at the touch.’ As your strength grows, at big events like this, no one holds back to prevent regrets, everyone goes all out.

Fist and foot do not have eyes; true exhilarating combat always involves blood boiling and surging. Injuries are most common, and as long as you do not harm your opponent a second time after they’ve lost the ability to attack, congratulations, you are Dragon City’s new generation... Foremost!"

The experienced doctor offered Lu Chenzhou a lesson on the spot.

Lu Chenzhou asked,

"May I know the name of my senior?"

His biggest takeaway from this exchange... he was likely to be dealing with doctors often from now on, and it was good to get acquainted in advance.

The doctor extended a hand, smiling,

"Spring Breeze Palm, Zhang Cai."

Lu Chenzhou extended his hand, saying,

"Thank you!"

He seemed to have heard of Spring Breeze Palm before.

This was a Fist Technique originating from Qingcheng, practiced by a Martial Arts Master at the department, not exactly the Elephant Form Fist but part of the Daoist lineage known for its healing prowess. Hence, most of the doctors from Top Martial University came from the four Seeking Dao palaces.

Elephant Form Fist, not renowned for its healing ability.

Primarily, it was Crane Forms and Phoenix Form.

Crane Forms also drew its healing efficacy from Daoist Fist Theory, and though part of the Elephant Form, the current leading authority was the Dragon and Tiger Academy.

Hence, Chen Yuan was planning to learn from them.

In reality,

Among the hundred forms of Elephant Form, Dragon City prominently featured the Elephant Form experts, not managing to top every single form, with the reigning Dragon Form champ being someone from Galaxy Martial University.

Afterward, Lu Chenzhou was taken to the infirmary for some basic topical treatments and healing. Ji Xuantong and two senior sisters waited anxiously at the door.

Shi Ruyu looked worried.

"This is the first time I’ve seen junior brother with such serious injuries."

Ji Feiyan said,

"Both of them put in their all, and their fighting spirit was almost on par with that of some Martial Artists... To be fair, Guo Bai’s descending palm technique looked rather cool, no wonder all the boys want to learn Dragon Form."

She was self-aware, intending to focus solely on Swallow Form to its utmost. Otherwise, she would be like those genius class Bird Form Cultivators, gradually transitioning to Phoenix Form.

Phoenix Form was too well-rounded.

Strong in attack, unrivaled in speed, and also had strong healing abilities.

Ji Xuantong said calmly,

"Don’t worry, these small wounds are nothing."

Ji Feiyan glanced at her father’s clenched fist.

She sighed inwardly and said nothing.

Her father, he was just tough on the outside.

Soon, Lu Chenzhou came out, bandaged up.

At that moment, the people from the genius class gathered at the door.

Everyone looked at Lu Chenzhou and, after some silence turned into excitement, said,

"Foremost of Dragon City, treat us!"

"So powerful."

"The branch school has really flipped Galaxy upside down!"

If Lu Chenzhou wasn’t injured, the crowd would have lifted him into the air in celebration.
