Mad Doctor No. 9

Wang Tian activated his Heavenly Eye, which allowed him to barely keep up with the two of them.

He discovered that Zhang Xuanling's moves, though seemingly chaotic, were actually perfectly timed, as if he were a prophet.

After thirty moves, Zhang Xuanling jumped off the stage, looked at Wang Tian, ​​and frowned slightly.

"Boy, who exactly are you?"

Wang Tian did not hide anything.

Upon hearing that the Eternal Life Society needed to gather seven Origin Items to open the Heavenly Gate, Zhang Xuanling's expression turned serious.

"I do indeed possess the Seal of the Mountain Guardian." He thought for a moment, then added, "However, Longhu Mountain also has a rule that only those who pass three trials can obtain the seal. Logically speaking, since you are not a disciple of Longhu Mountain, you are not qualified."

Zhang Qingyun quickly said, "Grandmaster Uncle, this is the rule, it cannot be changed!"

Zhang Xuanling waved his hand and said, "Rules are rules, but... I can make an exception. If you can pass these three tests, I will give you the Dharma Seal; otherwise, you will have to go to Longhu Mountain and become my disciple."

"Master, this..." Wang Tian was both amused and exasperated.

"What, scared?" Zhang Xuanling glanced at him sideways. "Are you looking down on Longhu Mountain?"

Wang Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Please enlighten me, Celestial Master."

"The written test, the preliminary test." Zhang Xuanling pointed to a line of ancient characters on the stone wall. "This is page eight of the *Tao Te Ching*, but there are three errors. Find the correct original text."

Wang Tian gazed at the cliff face. Under the gaze of the Medical Dao Heavenly Eye, the characters seemed to come alive; every stroke, every structure, every spirit was so clear.

Soon, he pointed out three more errors—all extremely fine strokes that would be difficult to spot unless one was very familiar with the Taoist scriptures.

A hint of approval appeared in Zhang Xuanling's eyes: "Not bad. The second test is the martial arts trial!"

He clapped his hands, and five Taoist priests emerged from behind the cliff. Each of them had bulging temples and steady breathing, clearly indicating that they were all people with profound internal strength.

Zhang Xuanling said, "They are the protectors of Longhu Mountain, and they cultivate the Five Elements Grand Formation. Breaking the formation within one incense stick's time is considered a qualified candidate."

Wang Tian frowned and said, "Master, isn't this a bit unfair? Five against one!"

Zhang Xuanling looked at Zhang Qingyun and said, "Little sister, you should go too. The two of you working together can break this Five Elements Formation."

"Yes!" Zhang Qingyun's eyes lit up.

The Five Elements Formation is indeed ingenious; the combined attack of the five people is both offensive and defensive.

However, Wang Tian and Zhang Qingyun have been fighting together all this time, and they have developed a tacit understanding with each other.

Wang Tian is the main attacker, and Zhang Qingyun is the assistant; one is yin and the other yang, subtly reminiscent of the philosophy of Tai Chi.

After a full half-incense stick's time, Wang Tiancai noticed a slight stagnation in the formation's operation, and then pointed a finger at the formation's core.

The Five Elements Formation shattered instantly, and the five guardians were forced to retreat repeatedly.

Zhang Xuanling clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Good! This is the third test."

His expression turned serious, and he said, "Wang Tian, ​​let me ask you a question: If you had to kill one person to save everyone's lives, would you do it?"

This is a classic ethical dilemma.

"I won't kill him," Wang Tian said slowly after thinking for a moment.

"What? One life for ten thousand lives, isn't that a tremendous good thing?"

"Today we save 10,000 people and kill one; tomorrow we save a million and kill ten." Wang Tian's eyes were clear. "Once this happens, human lives become something that can be calculated. Doctors are compassionate; they save people from dire straits without hesitation."

Zhang Xuanling continued, "What if that person is utterly wicked and deserves to die?"

Wang Tian said, "This matter should be decided by the law, not by me. We should save as many people as we can."

After a long silence, Zhang Xuanling sighed and said, "You've passed."

As he spoke, he took out an ancient jade seal from his pocket and handed it to Wang Tian: "This is the seal that guards Longhu Mountain. You can take it. However, I must remind you that the Eternal Life Society already knows that you came to Longhu Mountain. There might be an ambush down the mountain."

Just then, a loud bang came from down the mountain, followed by the blaring of sirens!

Zhang Xuanling scoffed and said, "Good timing. Longhu Mountain is not a place for just anyone! All disciples, listen up!"

Dozens of Taoist priests appeared from various places and responded in unison.

"Activate the mountain-protecting formation! Let those ignorant fools see the true orthodox Daoist tradition!"

At the foot of Longhu Mountain, in that small town, chaos reigned.

A dozen black SUVs blocked all the entrances and exits, and hundreds of masked men in black, armed with guns, were confronting the local police.

However, these men were no ordinary bandits—they were agile and incredibly strong, clearly modified warriors of the Eternal Life Society.

"Sir! The enemy's firepower is too intense; we can't hold them off!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a grenade exploded right next to him, the blast wave sending him flying.

A modified soldier wearing a metal mask sneered, "Mere ants. Activate Plan B, launch a full-scale assault!"

Just then, a melodious bell rang out from the mountain path.

Then a beam of golden light shot out from the Taoist temple on the mountaintop, unfolding in mid-air to form a golden Bagua pattern that enveloped the entire town.

"This... could it be the protective formation of Longhu Mountain?!" The masked man exclaimed in shock.

The Bagua diagram slowly rotated, casting down golden light.

Under the golden light, the modified warriors immediately felt the energy within their bodies become disordered, and their movements became sluggish.

"This formation actually suppressed the power of transformation!"

At the same time, Wang Tian, ​​Zhang Qingyun, and Zhang Xuanling, along with more than a dozen Taoist priests, walked out of the mountain gate.

The Taoist priests, wielding peach wood swords and performing the Yu Step, chanted incantations as talismans shot out one after another, burning in mid-air and transforming into firebirds and thunder snakes that attacked the modified warriors.

"A mere trick!" the masked man sneered, took out a device, and pressed the button.

A sharp, high-frequency sound wave was emitted from the instrument, and the firebirds began to dissipate in mid-air. This was a sonic weapon specifically designed to target energy structures!

Zhang Xuanling frowned: "Technology combined with evil magic, the Eternal Life Society is indeed not simple."

A glint flashed in Wang Tian's eyes: "Celestial Master, lend me a magic seal!"

He took the Mountain-Suppressing Seal and infused it with the power of divine genes.

The seal suddenly shone brightly, and the dragon and tiger seemed to come alive, transforming into phantom images of dragon and tiger in mid-air, roaring to the sky!

With a dragon's roar, the sonic weapon immediately lost its effectiveness.

The phantom of the dragon and tiger pounced forward, and wherever it went, the modified warriors fell down in swathes, like harvested wheat.

Seeing that things were going badly, the masked man turned and ran.

Wang Tian's figure blurred as he blocked his way.

"Do you think you can escape? Prepare to die."
