re, Bai Jing treated Xiao Yu exceptionally respectfully this time.Xiao Yu smiled and nodded at Bai Jing when he saw her."Uncle Teacher, this is my lover Zhao Hong!""Zhao Hong, this is Uncle Teacher Xi...Chapter 487: Let's Fight (Part 1)

In fact, Jin Xianglin’s main injury was due to his internal organs shifting after the collision. Now that his organs have returned to their proper places, they are still somewhat injured due to the shock, so now the primary concern is to treat these injuries.

"Mr. Jin's condition isn't serious anymore; he just needs to rest for a while and will be fully recovered!" Xiao Yu said to Jin Xianglin and Xiao Jingru.

"Thank you, Master Xiao! Oh, it’s all my fault, I even made you come here," Jin Xianglin smiled slightly when he heard what Xiao Yu had said. Despite his injury, the fact that he had risked his life to find Xiao Yu was indeed the right choice.

At that time, although he was already injured and in pain, his mind was still clear. He knew very well that if the doctors here treated him, there would be a huge risk of complications. Even with Xiao Yu's help, it wouldn't be without danger, but he preferred to take the chance with Xiao Yu than leave his life in someone else’s hands.

"Mr. Jin, you're too polite! You need to rest well today and get some proper treatment. Your injury needs about a month of recuperation before it can fully heal, and during this time, you must avoid any strenuous activities!"

Xiao Yu said to Jin Xianglin and Xiao Jingru.

Originally, Xiao Yu planned to leave today since Jin Xianglin was no longer in danger after following his prescriptions. But then he received a challenge letter, so now he would have to stay another day.

During the pulse diagnosis earlier, Xiao Yu found that Jin Xianglin's recovery progress was very good and expected him to be able to engage in minor activities tomorrow.

Xiao Yu gave instructions to Mr. and Mrs. Jin after which he left the hospital and returned to his hotel room where he sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate, maintaining his peak condition since he didn't think this afternoon's matter would pose a threat to him, but he couldn't afford any slip-ups.

At noon, Xiao Yu opened his eyes after sitting in meditation. He straightened his clothes and headed out of the hotel.

The challenge letter delivered by that young man last night was from ‘Chen’s Martial Arts Club’, but since this was Xiao Yu's first visit to Taiwan, he didn't know where it was located. Therefore, he went down to the hotel lobby, hailed a taxi and told the driver to take him there.

The taxi driver responded with a nod and drove off into the distance. After forty minutes of driving, the taxi stopped at a quiet street corner, and the driver informed Xiao Yu that Chen’s Martial Arts Club was nearby.

Xiao Yu followed the small street inward slowly. The street was very quiet, with only a few passersby and no vehicles passing through. Xiao Yu walked for about 200 meters until he saw an ancient building standing there, its entrance marked by a vermilion door and a pair of large stone lions.

On the vermilion door hung a gilded sign reading "Chen Family Martial Arts Academy." After glancing at the sign to confirm that he was in the right place, Xiao Yu stepped inside.

The moment he climbed the steps, he heard loud shouts coming from within the courtyard.

Xiao Yu followed the sound into a large hall where a middle-aged man around forty was leading over twenty young men in kung fu practice by shouting commands.

When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Yu enter, he paused momentarily with a look of confusion. The academy wasn't currently accepting new apprentices; however, before the man could question him, one of the young men walked up to his side and whispered something.

The young man was the one who had delivered the challenge notice to Xiao Yu last night. After speaking to the middle-aged man, he looked over at Xiao Yu.

Upon hearing what the youth said, the middle-aged man stared at Xiao Yu with a look of surprise; he had long since forgotten about that incident.

The young man delivered the challenge notice because Xiao Yu had treated someone's injury, and after inquiring, he learned that Xiao Yu was from inland China. He assumed that upon receiving the challenge notice, Xiao Yu would have fled back to the mainland out of fear.

His intention for issuing the challenge notice was also to scare Xiao Yu away. However, he had neither prepared for Xiao Yu's arrival today nor sent anyone to monitor him—instead, the youth who did so had returned. In his mind, a traditional Chinese doctor would know better than to court trouble and simply leave if they were just passing through.

Today, however, not only was Xiao Yu still here, but he had come alone, causing everyone who looked at him to show an expression of surprise, wondering whether he was naive or fearless.

"Snap..." The middle-aged man clapped his hands after sizing up Xiao Yu.

The young men immediately split into two lines, forming a human pathway that led straight to Xiao Yu. Standing at opposite ends of the corridor formed by people were Xiao Yu and the middle-aged man, facing each other across the empty space between them.

"Hehe, the traditional Chinese medicine community is actually not far from the martial arts world in terms of rules. You should be aware of them too since you dared to treat a patient; it seems that you’re prepared for any consequences. However, considering your profession as a doctor, if you can just take my palm strike, we’ll call it even!"

The middle-aged man said this to Xiao Yu.

In his view, since Xiao Yu was so young, he must have recently graduated and thus treated the injured person without considering that rule. If an experienced doctor were in his shoes, they probably wouldn’t make such a fuss.

Back then, when his disciple had followed those two people and witnessed them going to Li’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, he was immediately informed by phone.

He had previously warned his disciples not to provoke Li’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital because its background wasn’t simple. Even he wouldn’t want to make trouble with it casually.

When the middle-aged man received this call, he told his disciple to observe first and only record any improper behavior if they actually violated a rule by treating the injured person.

Hearing these words from the middle-aged man, Xiao Yu had a faint smile on his face. He couldn’t sense any internal energy cultivation from him, so this person was likely at the stage of hidden勁 (hidden energy).

For him to be at the transformation stage Xiao Yu wouldn't believe it even if he tried. Even someone like Song Hushan remained at the hidden勁stage, let alone a martial artist from a martial arts academy.

"Oh, so you want me to take your palm strike Hehe, alright then!" said Xiao Yu with a smile as he looked at this middle-aged man.

Seeing how presumptuous the middle-aged man was, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. The guy probably thought of him as an ordinary doctor! That would make things easier for him; he could retaliate based on the force used. If this person went too far with a regular civilian, he wouldn't mind giving them a lesson.

The reason traditional Chinese doctors tend to get into conflicts with martial artists when treating their injuries is mainly due to the doctors’ weak position and inability to defend themselves. If they were stronger than these martial artists, would those martial artists dare to cause trouble

Ultimately, it was all about power. A regular doctor, despite excellent skills, could hardly be a match for a martial artist.

This rule came into existence because of this situation: In ancient times, some doctors treated injured martial artists, and the people who hurt others couldn't find their targets and took out their frustrations on these medical practitioners. After repeated incidents like this, doctors became unwilling or dared not treat such injuries anymore, which eventually led to this rule being established over time.

The middle-aged man heard Xiao Yu's straightforward answer and noticed that there was no fear or tension on his face. This made the man more cautious; with such skills and status, he couldn't be a rash young fool. Seeing Xiao Yu’s demeanor, though appearing relaxed, he inwardly remained vigilant.

The middle-aged man slowly approached Xiao Yu, who stood calmly as usual, prompting him to adopt an unusual posture and circle around Xiao Yu in peculiar steps that seemed to follow the eight trigrams pattern.

His hands were always in palm shapes, moving with his steps so he could strike from any position.

Xiao Yu watched this middle-aged man circling him and slowly closed his eyes. Although the steps appeared simple, they were actually quite profound; without using magic techniques, Xiao Yu might easily be at a disadvantage if not careful. Therefore, closing his eyes allowed him to concentrate fully on the impending palm strike.

Seeing that Xiao Yu did not tense up but instead closed his eyes, the middle-aged man was startled—he couldn't fathom why and wondered if Xiao Yu planned to endure the hit.

The thought made him hesitate no longer. Worried a delay might cause trouble, he aimed a palm strike at Xiao Yu's arm upon reaching close proximity.

With his senses heightened, blind Xiao Yu observed every movement of the middle-aged man; when the attack came, Xiao Yu’s eyelids fluttered uncontrollably.

Sensing the sharp wind from an incoming palm strike aimed at his arm, which felt like a knife cutting into him causing pain, he still did not move. Instead, he focused even more intently; this was his first encounter with an internal energy martial artist and while overpowering him wasn't hard, Xiao Yu remained cautious.

Seeing that Xiao Yu stood motionless as the palm strike approached within mere inches of him (a distance from which escape would be impossible at such speed), a hint of satisfaction crept onto his face. Perhaps this youth was just an ordinary person

The middle-aged man’s confidence made him slightly ease up on his strength.

Xiao Yu sensed the slight reduction in the force and felt more relaxed; if it had been full power, an ordinary person would likely have suffered severe injury or death.ything and would receive the five million yuan promised.As this person was being dragged away, he suddenly gathered strength and let out a loud roar as he struggled free from those dragging him.The mo...
