Mad Doctor No. 9

However, the clinic has only just begun to stabilize, and it will take some time for Qin Yuwei, Zhang Qingyun, and others to grow and develop.

"Master, wherever you go, we'll go!" Qin Yuwei and Zhang Qingyun seemed to have noticed Wang Tian's hesitation and said decisively.

Looking at their determined eyes, Wang Tian felt a warmth in his heart and smiled, "No need to rush, let's focus on the task at hand first. Your combined attack technique is far from sufficient!"

He looked westward, and it was as if he had passed through countless mountains and rivers to see the majestic snow-capped mountains.

In Kunlun, you just wait.

Wang Tian was processing his gains and contemplating his journey to Kunlun, while at the same time, a huge upheaval was brewing in the martial arts world of Jiangnan.

This time, it wasn't the Eternal Life Society or the evil forces from the outside world, but rather some people from within—ancient, reclusive martial arts families. They seemed quite dissatisfied with Wang Tian, ​​the young honorary president, treating him like a "nouveau riche."

The incident began when the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association planned to integrate resources and establish a "Martial Arts Research Institute" for young martial artists, with the aim of systematically cultivating talented individuals to resist threats like the Eternal Life Society.

In his capacity as honorary president, Wang Tian offered many visionary suggestions and was willing to share with him the diluted Starfall Spirit Essence and a portion of the orthodox Foundation Establishment cultivation techniques from the "Star Medicine Treasure Mirror".

This is a good thing for him.

However, ancient martial arts sects with long histories and reclusive lifestyles, such as the "Heavenly Sword Sect," the "Overlord Blade Sect," and the "Divine Fist Sect," all jumped out to express their opposition.

In their view, Wang Tian was too inexperienced, and the origin of the things he brought out was unknown. The so-called academy violated the traditional rules of apprenticeship and was considered "heretical".

Some people even spread rumors that Wang Tian's martial arts skills were strange and his progress was rapid, which was probably related to the Eternal Life Society.

These ancient martial arts forces are deeply rooted in Jiangnan, with numerous disciples, and their power should not be underestimated.

The opposition from these people hindered the establishment of the Martial Arts Research Institute.

"Master, these guys are going too far! You've put in so much effort for the martial arts world of Jiangnan, and yet you've been bitten in return!" Qin Yuwei said angrily.

Zhang Qingyun frowned as well: "I'm afraid it's not just about conservatism, but also about the drive for profit. Once the academy is established, it will affect their monopoly on outstanding disciples."

Wang Tian remained calm: "A tall tree catches the wind; that's normal. If you're not convinced, we'll beat you until you submit."

Just then, a challenge was delivered from the clinic.

The signature reads: Xiao Lingfeng, Young Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The content was extremely arrogant, saying that Wang Tian was just lucky and unworthy of his position, and that he would challenge Wang Tian in public at the "Sword Debate Peak" in three days to set the standard for martial arts.

If Wang Tian loses, he will automatically resign from his position as honorary president and hand over the so-called "evil technique" manual.

If Xiao Lingfeng loses, the Heavenly Sword Sect will compensate him with its most precious "Millennium Snow Lotus".

"Xiao Lingfeng, it is said that he has already obtained the true teachings of the Heavenly Sword at the age of twenty-eight. His cultivation is unfathomable. He has been in seclusion for many years and is the best among the younger generation of ancient martial arts families, far surpassing the likes of Lei Hu."

"Su Qingxuan received the news and rushed over immediately to relay it. His emergence from seclusion this time is likely a joint effort by various ancient martial arts families and sects to suppress your prestige."

"Really?" Wang Tian's focus was a little different.

The thousand-year-old snow lotus is cold and pure in nature, making it a top-grade medicinal herb for refining high-level pills, harmonizing the yin and yang in the body, and helping to break through bottlenecks. It can also neutralize the heat of the Crimson Sun Blood Coral. Refining a batch of "Yin-Yang Dragon-Tiger Pills" will be of great benefit to both him and his disciples.

"President Wang, we must be cautious in this battle," Su Qingxuan said worriedly. "Xiao Lingfeng's Heavenly Sword is said to have reached the point where 'with the sword in hand, everything is a sword,' making it incredibly powerful."

"It's alright," Wang Tian laughed. "It's a good opportunity to test my sword skills and see how much progress I've made these past few days. That way, no one will bother you."

Sword Debate Peak, three days later.

This mountain is located in a scenic area in Jiangnan. It has steep slopes and a flat summit, and has historically been a place for martial artists in Jiangnan to seek revenge and spar.

On this day, the Sword Debate Peak was packed with people, almost gathering most of the well-known figures in the Jiangnan martial arts world.

Almost all the members of the ancient martial arts families were present, led by elders from sects such as the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Overlord Blade Sect, and the Divine Fist Sect.

Dressed in white, Xiao Lingfeng stood alone at the heart of the peak, sword in hand, eyes closed, meditating. The mountain wind made his clothes flutter, giving him the air of a peerless swordsman.

Wang Tian, ​​accompanied only by Qin Yuwei and Zhang Qingyun, slowly walked towards the mountaintop.

Today, he was dressed in a blue robe, his aura restrained, a stark contrast to Xiao Lingfeng's white robe and sharp, aggressive demeanor.

"Long time no see, President Wang." An elder from an ancient martial arts family greeted him with a forced smile. "Nephew Xiao has dared to be so bold today. I beg the President to show mercy." He said this, but the contempt in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Wang Tian didn't take it seriously and stopped ten feet in front of Xiao Lingfeng.

Xiao Lingfeng opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing, like a sword, and landed on Wang Tian: "You are Wang Tian? You're not much to look at."

Wang Tian calmly said, "Make your move, I'm in a hurry."

"Arrogant!" a cold voice rang out.

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Lingfeng's eyes as he said, "Since that's the case, then I'd like to see what abilities you have to deserve this position!"

"Clang—" A crisp metallic clang rang out.

A clear, melodious sword cry rang out, and the long sword that Xiao Lingfeng was carrying on his back flew out automatically and landed in his hand.

The sword's blade was as clear as autumn water, exuding a chilling aura; one glance was enough to tell it was a fine sword.

Holding a long sword, his aura suddenly changed, and he became one with the sword. His sharp sword intent soared into the sky and locked onto Wang Tian!

"A rainbow pierces the sun, the first move of the Heavenly Sword!"

Xiao Lingfeng moved swiftly, becoming one with his sword, transforming into a dazzling sword beam that pierced the sky like a rainbow, hurtling towards Wang Tian! The speed of this sword strike was incredibly fast, seemingly capable of tearing through the heavens! A gasp rippled through the crowd below; the power of this sword strike far surpassed that of an ordinary early-stage Transformation Realm cultivator, even touching the threshold of the mid-stage! Truly worthy of being the heir of an ancient martial arts family!

Faced with this earth-shattering blow, Wang Tian did not dodge. He slowly raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and a faint silver light appeared at his fingertips.

He neither drew his sword nor used his palm.

He simply pointed a finger at the astonishing sword rainbow.

【Starlight Finger - Breaking Army】

A wisp of extremely refined starlight blooms at your fingertips. Though faint, it is eternal and not dazzling, yet it seems to pierce through everything.
