The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

When Lu Waner dispersed the poison gas, she immediately saw Ye Tianfan, who was enveloped by a mystical black and yellow illusory tower.

"This...what is it?" Before Lu Waner could express her confusion, the Taichu Sect Leader, Tian Chu Zhenren, sitting in the stands of Taichu Peak, saw the illusory tower and was instantly astonished.

"Could this be the legendary Xuanhuang Tower? Wasn't it said to have disappeared along with the disappearance of Xuanhuang Zhenren?" Tian Chu Zhenren muttered quietly in shock.

It wasn't surprising that he was so shocked; perhaps others didn't know, but as the leader of the Taichu Sect, he possessed information that others wouldn't know.

For instance, about the Xuanhuang Tower, Tian Chu Zhenren was unaware of its specific details, but the tradition passed down to the Taichu Sect Leader was known to him.

Back when the Nine-headed Demon Dragon wreaked havoc across the entire cultivation world, all the sect leaders of the Taichu Sect united, but there was also one person who made outstanding contributions to suppress the Nine-headed Demon Dragon.

And that person was Xuanhuang Zhenren.

However, not long after Xuanhuang Zhenren suppressed the Xuanhuang Tower, he disappeared along with a carefree Loose Cultivator.

He never expected that the Xuanhuang Tower would reappear and right in the Taichu Sect.

"What kind of magical treasure is this? How come my poison didn't corrode it? It shouldn't be like this; my poison can corrode everything. There's no way it can't even corrode a mere magical treasure. I don't believe it," Lu Waner said in disbelief.

After Lu Waner spoke, she once again gathered all the poison gas, directing it at Ye Tianfan. Rather than saying it was directed at Ye Tianfan, it was more like being directed at the illusory tower outside of him.

But to Lu Waner's disappointment, the tower still indestructibly shielded Ye Tianfan.

"Give up; with your strength, you cannot break it," Ye Tianfan said with a smile, satisfied with its performance in battle for the first time.

Previously, when he was at Taihuo Peak, the senior brothers asked Ye Tianfan to bring out the Xuanhuang Tower to see if they could break its defense.

In the end, they didn't even manage to break the defense or cause the tiniest ripple.

"What on earth is this magical treasure?" Lu Waner knew she had lost, knowing she couldn't defeat even the treasure itself. However, she remained unwilling, feeling that she hadn't truly lost, only that the opponent had a superior magical treasure.

"The Xuanhuang Tower, merely a magical treasure focused on defense!" Ye Tianfan said with a smile.

"Humph!" Lu Waner snorted coldly, turning and leaving the arena.

But she remembered Ye Tianfan, viewing him as a man who relied on his excellent treasure and belittled women.

As Ye Tianfan watched Lu Waner leave in anger, he felt as if there was some misunderstanding.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it and instead turned to leave the arena, flying toward the Taichu Sect Leader.

When Ye Tianfan was drawing lots for the third round, he noticed Tian Chu Zhenren looking at him with a strange expression.

Ye Tianfan looked at himself but found nothing wrong, so he curiously asked Tian Chu Zhenren, "Sect Leader, why are you looking at me like this?"

"It's nothing, have you drawn your lot? What number is it?" Tian Chu Zhenren didn't reveal the origin of the Xuanhuang Tower to Ye Tianfan but instead changed the topic.

Ye Tianfan glanced at the number in his hand, "Reporting to Sect Leader, I'm number eleven."

"Alright, you may go back!" After an elder beside Tian Chu Zhenren noted down the number, Tian Chu Zhenren indicated that Ye Tianfan could leave.

Helpless, Ye Tianfan made a formal bow to Tian Chu Zhenren and turned to leave.

Returning to the spectator stands at Taihuo Peak, he saw that Sixth Senior Brother Dai Tianxin had already returned, apparently victorious?

Because he saw a faint joy on Sixth Senior Brother's face, if he had lost, he wouldn't even mention joy; maintaining composure in front of the master would already be commendable.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan also noticed a slight smile on Master Tian Chu Zhenren's face. Given that Master rarely smiles, this more assuredly confirmed that Sixth Senior Brother had won.

"Congratulations to Sixth Senior Brother on advancing to the next round!" Ye Tianfan congratulated Dai Tianxin.

"Mutual congratulations! Congratulations to Little Junior Brother as well for reaching the next round," Dai Tianxin chuckled and reciprocated Ye Tianfan's words.

"Lao Qi, what's your number in the next round?" Tian Chu Zhenren asked upon seeing Ye Tianfan return.

"Reporting to Master, I'm number eleven!" Ye Tianfan replied to Tian Chu Zhenren.

No sooner had Ye Tianfan finished responding than not only did Tian Chu Zhenren freeze, but even Dai Tianxin and the other senior brothers also froze.

Ye Tianfan felt a sudden pause in his heart, wondering...

"Sixth Senior Brother isn't number twenty-two, is he?" Ye Tianfan asked.

"Yes, I am number twenty-two," Dai Tianxin replied with a smile akin to crying upon hearing Ye Tianfan's question.

After he finished speaking, the stands at Taihuo Peak fell into an eerie silence.

Tian Chu Zhenren's expression turned unpleasant, as finally advancing to the third round, Elder Six had to face Elder Seven. Was this a joke?

With Taihuo Peak just having a chance to shine in this session of the Nine Veins Martial Arts Tournament, now they had to eliminate one of their own.

It's not that Dai Tianxin was underestimated; even ten of him couldn't match up to Ye Tianfan. Not to mention Ye Tianfan's ascending magical prowess, he was about to enter the eighth layer of Wanxuan, whereas Dai Tianxin was merely at the third layer.

Though he had favorable fate in the first two rounds without encountering formidable opponents, in the third round, it seemed as though luck ran out. Encountering other branches might have been manageable with a slim chance of advancing; if an opponent fell ill and withdrew, that'd mean advancing. But facing Ye Tianfan, advancing was utterly impossible.

"..." Ye Tianfan didn't know what to say, lightly patting Dai Tianxin's shoulder for comfort.

"I'll just surrender tomorrow," Dai Tianxin said with a bitter smile.

Ye Tianfan didn't know how to respond. If he said not to surrender, it seemed like he was publicly humiliating him; if he allowed it, it seemed like he was underestimating him.

"Sixth Junior Brother!" You Tianjiao patted his shoulder, unsure how to console him. From the moment Ye Tianfan announced his number, You Tianjiao was stunned, and now he finally reacted, yet the other juniors still found it unbelievable.

"Senior Brother!" Dai Tianxin smiled bitterly, "You don't have to comfort me; I'm fine. Making it to the third round was already lucky for me. Today's match, if not for my opponent sustaining heavy injuries in the first round, I wouldn't have stood a chance at winning. Knowing my own strength, I'm still weak, at least knowing my match against Little Junior Brother won't cause any injuries, right?"

You Tianjiao could only chuckle, patting his shoulder again.

He knew that, though Dai Tianxin spoke lightly, he still felt troubled inside; after all, he had come this far.

And now encountering the monstrous Little Junior Brother.
