Mad Doctor No. 9

"Kill Wang Tian! Retrieve Zhao Qinglong!"

Wang Tian scoffed, "You guys?"

Despite his injured left arm, he still had the strength to fight. He picked up a golden needle with his right hand and charged forward to meet his enemy.

The real battle is only just beginning.

These men in black were well-trained. Some rushed towards the stage, targeting martial arts masters like Elder Chen; others rushed towards the audience to create chaos; and the eight strongest men attacked Wang Tian.

Four of them are at the mid-stage of Dark Force, three are at the late-stage of Dark Force, and one is at the early-stage of Transformation Force!

"Wang Tian, ​​hand over Zhao Qinglong, and I'll spare your life!" The black-clad man, a cultivator at the Transformation Realm, spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes filled with ferocity.

"Dream on." Wang Tian stood in front of Qin Yuwei and Zhang Qingyun, and with a flick of his right hand, nine golden needles appeared between his fingers.

"You're courting death!" The black-clad man, who had reached the Transformation Realm, struck first, unleashing a palm strike with such force that it produced a sonic boom!

Wang Tian didn't take the hit head-on. Instead, he used the Seven Star Step to dodge, and at the same time, he shot out golden needles, aiming straight for his opponent's eyes!

The man in black sneered, raising his protective aura. The golden needle pierced through, making a clanging sound, but it couldn't penetrate!

"You think you can break through the transformed internal energy with hidden strength?" The man in black scoffed, his attacks becoming even fiercer.

At the same time, the other seven people drew their swords!

Wang Tian was surrounded in the middle, his left shoulder wound reopened, and blood stained the bandage.

"Master!" Qin Yuwei cried anxiously, wanting to step forward to help, but Zhang Qingyun held her back.

"Don't come any closer!" Wang Tian shouted, pushing his Starry Sky Body Tempering Technique to its limit.

This time, he was truly going all out.

"Astral Body Tempering Technique, Second Stage, Activated!"

With a roar, Wang Tian's body shone brightly with starlight! His originally pale golden internal energy turned silvery-white! His momentum surged, instantly breaking through the peak of Dark Force and approaching Transformation Force!

"What?!" the black-clad man, a master of internal energy cultivation, exclaimed in shock. "You were hiding your strength?!"

"It's too late to know now." Wang Tian's voice was icy as he thrust out his right palm.

"Star Palm Third Form - Galaxy Reversal!"

The palm strike transformed into a silver torrent, sweeping across all directions!

Seven martial artists at the Dark Force level were blasted away, spitting out blood! The black-clad man at the Transformation Force level barely managed to block it, and cracks appeared in his protective aura!

"How is this possible? What kind of martial art is this?!"

"I'll kill your martial arts." Wang Tian took a step forward and rushed to his opponent like lightning, pointing a finger at the crack in the qi!

"laugh!"

Place your finger directly on the Tanzhong acupoint!

"Pfft!" The black-clad man's protective aura dissipated, and he collapsed to the ground, spitting blood.

Eight powerful warriors were defeated in the blink of an eye!

However, there were too many men in black, and screams erupted from the audience, creating chaos.

Wang Tian glanced around and saw that Elder Chen and the others were surrounded and in grave danger.

"Qingyun, Yuwei, protect the audience, save as many as you can!" Wang Tian ordered, and immediately rushed towards the podium.

"Old man, die!" A black-clad man at the late stage of internal energy slashed at Old Chen with a knife.

Although Elder Chen possessed the cultivation level of the Transformation Realm, he was old and frail, and was about to be stabbed.

A flash of silver light!

"clang!"

The golden needle struck the knife, causing it to deflect and graze past the corner of Old Chen's clothes.

"Old Chen, are you alright?" Wang Tianru appeared like a god descending from heaven, standing in front of Old Chen.

"It's alright, Xiao Wang, you..." Old Chen said breathlessly.

"Take care of them first." Wang Tian turned around and faced more than ten men in black.

Seeing Wang Tian's instant defeat of eight experts, the men in black became wary, but still surrounded him.

"Join forces! Outlast him!" the leader said.

Wang Tian sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the star power around him became even more concentrated.

He took a deep breath.

"Astral Body Tempering Technique, Third Stage - Starburst!"

"boom!"

A terrifying stellar power erupted from Wang Tian's body! A silver shockwave swept across the entire area!

More than ten men in black were sent flying like kites with broken strings, crashing into the wall and losing consciousness.

However, Wang Tian paid a heavy price for using this move. His face was deathly pale, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his internal energy was severely depleted.

Old Chen helped him up: "Little Wang!"

"I can still hold on..." Wang Tian wiped away the blood and looked down at the audience.

Qin Yuwei and Zhang Qingyun tried to rescue the people, but there were too many men in black, and the two were caught in a fierce battle.

To make matters worse, footsteps sounded outside the martial arts hall—the Eternal Life Society reinforcements had arrived!

Wang Tianqiang struggled to his feet: "Old Chen, lead everyone out the back door! I'll cover the rear!"

"How can this be? You're doing this..."

Wang Tian pushed Old Chen aside: "Let's go!"

He was like a tiger among sheep, but with each person he knocked down, he grew weaker.

Finally, Wang Tian knelt on one knee, panting heavily.

"He's done for! Kill him!" Upon seeing this, the remaining men in black swarmed forward.

At the critical moment, the doors of the martial arts hall were suddenly smashed open!

A group of heavily armed special police officers stormed in! Closely following them were Nightingale and Old Xu!

"Don't move!" The SWAT officer raised his gun and aimed.

The nightingale flew over and helped Wang Tian up: "Wang Tian! How are you?"

Wang Tian smiled wryly: "He's...not dead yet. You've come at the perfect time."

Old Xu stepped forward, his face turning ashen as he surveyed the chaotic scene: "How dare the Eternal Life Society! They actually dared to make a move during the Martial Arts Tournament!"

He ordered the SWAT team: "Take them all away! Interrogate them thoroughly!"

The men in black were quickly subdued, and the injured were taken to the hospital. Order was gradually restored at the martial arts dojo.

Old Xu looked at Wang Tian: "Young Wang, you have done a great service this time. Not only did you win the championship, but you also exposed the Eternal Life Society's conspiracy and saved many people."

Wang Tian shook his head: "It's my duty. What about Zhao Qinglong?"

"At the military hospital," Nightingale replied. "The tests confirmed that he did indeed have an unknown drug in his body, damaging his nerves and genes. If you hadn't stopped the drug's effects in time, he would have died within three days."

Wang Tian nodded: "We will do our best to treat him; he is also a victim."

Elder Chen approached with a group of martial arts masters, bowing respectfully: "Young Master Wang, I am deeply grateful. If it weren't for you, the martial arts world of Jiangnan would be in grave danger."

Other senior colleagues also expressed their gratitude.

Wang Tian quickly returned the greeting: "You are too kind, seniors. I dare not accept such praise. It is the responsibility of all martial artists to fight against the Eternal Life Society."

"Young Master Wang, I have a favor to ask of you," Old Chen suddenly said.

"Please speak, Mr. Chen."

"The Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is lacking a young and promising leader," Elder Chen said solemnly. "I recommend you to serve as its honorary president."

The entire audience was stunned.

Although the honorary president does not participate in practical affairs, he is a symbol of the martial arts world in Jiangnan. The position has always been held by the older generation, and there has never been a young person in it.

Wang Tian was also stunned: "Old Chen, isn't this a bit inappropriate? I'm young and inexperienced."

"Seniority is secondary; strength and character are paramount," Elder Chen said earnestly. "Everyone witnessed today's battle. What's even more commendable is your sense of righteousness and your fearlessness in the face of a powerful enemy. This is precisely the kind of person the martial arts world of Jiangnan needs most."

"Old Chen is right!" the other seniors echoed.

"Young Master Wang truly deserves the title!"

"I second that!"

Wang Tian looked at Elder Xu. Elder Xu smiled and nodded, indicating that he would accept.

After a moment's thought, Wang Tian clasped his hands and said, "In that case, I will respectfully comply. But I have one condition: I will not accept a salary or enjoy any special privileges. I only wish that the martial arts community of Jiangnan can unite as one to resist the Eternal Life Society."

Old Master Chen was overjoyed: "From now on, the martial arts world of Jiangnan will follow Chairman Wang's lead!"

The youngest honorary president in the history of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Federation was thus born.

The news sent shockwaves through Jiangnan.
