Mad Doctor No. 9

The next moment, under everyone's incredulous gaze.

There was no loud noise.

There was only a soft "hiss" sound.

The sword light vanished in the next moment.

Xiao Lingfeng's forward momentum suddenly halted, stopping abruptly when he was still three feet away from Wang Tian.

Wang Tian's two fingers pinched the tip of the Autumn Water Sword in his hand! And the starlight on Wang Tian's fingers was pressed against the spine of the sword. From the point of contact, the blade was covered with fine cracks!

"Pat...pat..."

The famous sword named "Autumn Water" broke into pieces and turned into a pile of scrap metal!

Xiao Lingfeng's face was pale, and the hand holding the long sword had a cut that was bleeding profusely.

He stared blankly at the sword he still held in his hand, then at Wang Tian's two intact fingers, his eyes filled with extreme shock, confusion, and... terror!

He used all his skills, including his most prized move, "Rainbow Piercing the Sun," only to have it so easily broken by his opponent with just two fingers? And his sword broke too?

Just how strong is he? What kind of finger technique does he use?

The entire room was deathly silent! You could hear a pin drop!

Everyone stared in disbelief at the incredible scene unfolding on the mountaintop, like ducks with their throats choked.

The elders of those ancient martial arts families, whose faces were still smiling, froze instantly, then turned to shock.

Qin Yuwei and Zhang Qingyun's eyes lit up.

A strange light flashed in Su Qingxuan's beautiful eyes, and her tightly clenched hands loosened.

Wang Tian loosened his grip, and the metal fragments fell to the ground.

He looked at Xiao Lingfeng, whose face was ashen, and said calmly, "This sword is very good, but your strength is too weak. It's good to have a sword in your heart, but being too obsessed with the sword will only lead to losses. The Heavenly Sword Technique of the Heavenly Sword Sect is extremely powerful and fierce, but not flexible enough. When the internal energy flows through the Xuanji and Shencang acupoints, it will become stagnant. If it is improved, its power can be increased by 30%."

His words were like a senior pointing out the flaws in a junior's martial arts, but at this moment, no one felt anything was wrong; on the contrary, they felt a sense of profound mystery! He saw through the flaws in the Heavenly Sword Technique with just one glance?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingfeng was struck dumb, his body trembling violently.

What Wang Tian said was exactly what he had felt was amiss during his cultivation, yet he couldn't pinpoint the cause! He looked at Wang Tian, ​​his eyes shifting from fear to a complex mix of emotions. Finally, he took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Wang Tian: "Thank you for your guidance, Chairman Wang! I humbly admit defeat! Within three days, I will definitely give you the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus! The entire Heavenly Sword Sect will follow your lead, Chairman!"

Having said that, he picked up the sword hilt, dejectedly walked down the Sword Debate Peak, where was the arrogance he had shown when he arrived?

Wang Tian glanced at the ancient martial arts elders below the stage and said, "Is there anyone else who is not convinced? We can join forces."

His voice was flat, yet it gave people an unparalleled sense of oppression.

The elders of the Overlord Blade Sect and the Divine Fist Sect all changed their expressions.

Even Xiao Lingfeng, the strongest among them, was utterly defeated. If they went up there, they would only make a fool of themselves.

"Since no one is challenging me, let's continue with the Martial Arts Research Institute as planned. Anyone who tries to stop me is an enemy of me, Wang Tian, ​​and also an enemy of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance!" Wang Tian said, then left with Qin Yuwei and Zhang Qingyun.

After this battle, Wang Tian's absolute strength shocked the entire Jiangnan region.

For a time, he was the most talked-about figure in the martial arts world of Jiangnan.

Ancient martial arts factions bowed their heads in support of the research institute.

As for Wang Tian, ​​he not only obtained the Millennium Snow Lotus, but also gained the "reverence" of many ancient martial arts forces, and even the support of some.

This time, the "gains" were not only material, but also in terms of prestige and influence.

Sure enough, three days later, the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect arrived, bringing the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to the clinic.

It was a piece of crystal-clear jade, sparkling and radiating a rich spiritual energy; it had clearly been preserved.

Although Xiao Lingfeng didn't come, he was still quite affected, but his attitude has now corrected itself.

With Tianjian Sect taking the lead and Wang Tianlunjian Peak delivering that astonishing finger strike, ancient martial arts sects such as Badao Sect and Shenquan Sect completely backed down. They all expressed their full support for the construction of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Research Institute and were willing to send senior instructors from their sects to teach and impart some basic martial arts classics.

A month later, the first phase of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Research Institute, located in the suburbs of Jiangnan, was completed and a grand opening ceremony was held.

This day was truly an unprecedented spectacle.

Not only did major martial arts families, sects, and martial arts schools from Jiangnan come, but even several large organizations from nearby provinces and cities sent people.

Government representatives, including Mr. Xu and Mr. Chen, also came.

The media only invited a few authoritative martial arts journals, but the atmosphere was as enthusiastic and solemn as ever.

The academy's main gate is magnificent, with a plaque hanging above it that reads "Strive for progress, and martial arts will flourish," which was personally written by Wang Tian.

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, subtly conveying the essence of martial arts, inspiring awe in those who behold it.

The ceremony was presided over by Mr. Chen. When Wang Tian was introduced, all eyes were on him.

Wang Tian didn't dress up deliberately today, still wearing a simple black Zhongshan suit. However, as a person in a high position who had experienced countless powerful enemies, coupled with the Starry Sky Body Tempering Technique, he gave people an extraordinary feeling. Even standing among a group of white-haired martial artists, he stood out from the crowd and naturally became the focus of the entire scene.

He didn't give a long speech; he simply walked up the stage step by step and calmly looked at the dark mass of people below.

The previously noisy scene quickly fell silent as he watched.

"I believe that as long as the greater good prevails, all differences can be set aside. The academy welcomes all those truly dedicated to the inheritance of martial arts and the maintenance of peace in China to join us. Past events are wiped clean. However, in the future, if anyone outwardly complies but inwardly opposes, secretly obstructs, or even colludes with foreign enemies..."

Wang Tian didn't finish his sentence, but his gaze turned cold.

An invisible yet chilling pressure suddenly spread out, and the temperature in the entire square seemed to drop several degrees.

The elders and sect leaders of the various ancient martial arts families below the stage couldn't help but hold their breath, their hearts pounding wildly, as if an invisible hand was gripping their throats, forcing them to lower their heads and not dare to look directly at each other.

"As the honorary president of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Federation, I, Wang, will definitely punish him severely and make him pay the price." Wang Tian withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "I hope everyone can work together to revitalize Jiangnan martial arts and protect this land!"

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence, followed by thunderous applause! The independent cultivators from smaller factions were especially excited.

Wang Tian's words gave everyone a way out and gave them hope.
