Chapter 347: A Medical Grandmaster?

"Your Highness..."

The Ranmu envoy on the side, seeing his prince under the cyan eagle beast, spitting mouthfuls of blood, his face pale, on the verge of death at any moment, shouted anxiously and rushed over.

"Release His Highness!"

His eyes reddening, the Ranmu envoy grabbed with his palm and struck at Zhang Xuan.

He knew the cyan eagle beast obeyed this man's commands, and the sneak attack on the prince was likely his doing.

"Envoy, what are you doing?"

Seeing him make a move, Mo Tianxue on the throne shouted loudly.

Swoosh!

A gray-clad figure darted out from somewhere, turned his palms, and met the attack.

Bang!

Fist and palm clashed, both stepped back a pace.

He was also a peak Grandmaster realm expert.

The royal family... Shadow Guard!

Blocking the Ranmu envoy, the gray-clad man flickered and vanished again in the hall, as if he had never appeared.

"This..."

The Ranmu envoy's brows trembled.

Previously, relying on his peak Grandmaster strength, he had paid little attention to this Tianwu Royal Palace, thinking that even if danger arose, he could break out smoothly with his power. Only now did he realize how laughable that notion was.

This seemingly calm hall likely concealed who knew how many experts like that one.

"I was also anxious to save His Highness. I hope Your Majesty Tianxue will forgive me..."

Adjusting his breath, temporarily suppressing the surging true energy in his body, the Ranmu envoy cupped his fists in apology.

"Rest assured, your prince will be fine..."

Mo Tianxue waved his hand.

The Ranmu envoy turned to look and indeed saw the cyan eagle beast had released its claws, and the prince, pale-faced and trembling, stood up.

Though severely injured, his foundation was unharmed, and his life was not in danger.

"Your Highness..."

He came to the prince's side and tried to support him, but the latter shook him off.

"You cheated! We agreed on a fair contest, yet you had a savage beast ambush me..." Prince Feixuan gritted his teeth, staring fixedly at the young man before him, wishing he could mince him into meat paste.

What a scammer.

We agreed on a fair fight, even placed bets, but you had a savage beast ambush from the side. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?

"Well..."

Zhang Xuan scratched his head, also looking aggrieved.

Having not been beaten, the cyan eagle beast was already furious, and seeing him attack its master, it couldn't hold back. Actually... it wasn't his command at all.

"You..."

Seeing his expression, Prince Feixuan was so angry his vision went dark, nearly collapsing.

I've been beaten like this and haven't felt wronged; what are you feeling wronged about?

Can you have some shame?

Just as he was about to explode with rage and say something, the young man opposite spoke in an embarrassed voice: "This cyan eagle beast was reckless and unintentionally offended. How about this: I'll send it out, and we'll fight fairly again. I guarantee it won't cause trouble!"

Prince Feixuan spat blood again.

It's not about it causing trouble or not. I'm severely injured now, having spat several liters of blood. You want to fight me?

And most importantly... you said 'fairly.'

You're perfectly fine, fighting a heavily wounded man. How can you say those two words without shame?

"Our Highness is gravely injured. The contest ends here!"

Seeing the prince about to be angered to death before even competing, the Ranmu envoy's face darkened.

If not for the hidden forces in the palace, he would have long rushed over and torn this Teacher Liu to pieces.

"Ends here? How can that be?"

Hearing the other party want to stop the contest, Zhang Xuan was full of anxiety.

Are you kidding? Those are two spirit stones. If we don't fight, won't I lose out big?

"Just a minor injury. Wait a moment, I'll treat him now..."

Saying this, he approached.

"What are you doing?"

The Ranmu envoy looked wary.

"I'm treating his injury. Don't worry, this minor wound will heal soon!" Zhang Xuan nodded seriously.

"Treating?"

The Ranmu envoy was full of doubt.

Prince Feixuan's mouth twitched.

Could this guy be trying to finish him off since the cyan eagle beast didn't kill him?

"Prince Feixuan, Envoy Ranmu, don't panic! Teacher Liu is the new president of the Physician Guild, highly skilled in medicine. If he says he'll treat, it will definitely be fine!"

Seeing their wary expressions, Mo Tianxue laughed.

"President of the Physician Guild?" The two were startled.

"Indeed. He is a medical grandmaster who has consecutively and perfectly solved nineteen difficult walls, and can casually cure countless serious illnesses. This injury of yours is nothing!" Mo Tianxue said.

"This..."

Prince Feixuan and the Ranmu envoy exchanged glances.

"Just a minor injury. Rest assured!"

Coming closer, Zhang Xuan casually supported Prince Feixuan.

"Envoy, don't worry. Please stand aside and wait. Since President Liu says so, he will surely heal the prince's injuries completely in no time." Mo Tianxue stroked his beard and comforted him.

A medical master who could casually solve nineteen difficult walls, he was very confident about this external injury.

"Very well..."

Seeing the other party speak so confidently, the Ranmu envoy hesitated for a moment, then released the prince and stepped back.

It wasn't that he trusted Zhang Xuan, but that he trusted the Physician Guild's reputation, and even more that Tianwu Kingdom dared not completely antagonize Kunqian Kingdom.

"His Highness's injuries, though not affecting his foundation, are still quite serious. I'll wait and see how President Liu treats them quickly..."

With a snort, the Ranmu envoy wanted to see how this President Liu would handle it. Before he finished speaking, he saw the other's action, his eyes bulged, and he almost spat out old blood, cursing: "Damn! What are you doing?"

He saw the young man not far away raise his palm and—smack!—slap the prince on the back of the head.

Poor Prince Feixuan didn't even have time to react before he passed out.

"..." Mo Tianxue was also dumbfounded.

This President Liu, who could dominate the Physician Guild with medical skills comparable to a four- or five-star physician, was expected to treat properly, and he wanted to witness his medical art. Instead, he knocked the man out with a slap.

Could it be that he thought the guy hadn't been beaten enough and wasn't satisfied?

"Stop..."

The Ranmu envoy exploded, his body flickering as he rushed forward. Before he could act, a figure flashed, and Princess Moyu somehow stood before him.

"Envoy, don't panic. Watch and see..."

If she wasn't sure before, seeing him slap Prince Feixuan unconscious confirmed that this President Liu was definitely Zhang Xuan.

Back when he treated the Great Pill King, he had knocked him out first.

Hearing the princess say this, the Ranmu envoy looked again and was stunned once more.

He saw the 'culprit' who had knocked out the prince now had dozens of silver needles in his palm. With a gentle flick, he inserted them all into Prince Feixuan's acupoints.

Then, with a light brush of his hand, he withdrew the needles and tapped the prince's brow with his fingertip.

Whoosh!

The unconscious Prince Feixuan opened his eyes, jumped up, his face contorted, and roared wildly.

"Liu, what are you trying to do? If you have the guts, fight fair and square. What kind of skill is sneaking?"

His voice thundered through the hall, with no sign of his severe injury.

"Your Highness..."

The Ranmu envoy blinked, unable to believe it: "Your injury..."

"Injury?"

Prince Feixuan was startled and also noticed something amiss. He circulated his true energy and felt his breath like thunder, with no trace of injury.

It was as if the one severely injured moments ago was not him but someone else.

"This... this..."

This time he was truly dumbfounded.

A moment ago, he was severely injured, spitting blood; the next, he was fully recovered... Could it be this fast?

"A few needles and His Highness's severe injury is healed?"

The Ranmu envoy couldn't believe it either.

Only now did he understand why His Majesty Tianxue valued this mere Tongxuan realm initial stage youth so much.

Just this medical skill alone could drive countless kingdoms wild.

"Mm, just a minor injury!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand casually: "Now that you're healed, can we have a fair contest?"

The other's strength was far inferior to his, so treating him was simple. If his cultivation were higher or equal, it wouldn't be so easy.

"This..."

Prince Feixuan was taken aback: "President Liu's medical skill is superb. I was blind not to recognize it. I have offended you greatly; please forgive me. The contest was rash of me; I hope we can end it here!"

As a prince, he was no fool. Though very dissatisfied with this man, the fact that he could easily heal his injuries showed his medical skill was astonishing.

It was better to befriend such a person than to offend him.

Otherwise, even Kunqian Kingdom couldn't protect him.

"End it here?"

Zhang Xuan was stunned: "How can that be..."

Those were two spirit stones. If we don't fight, I can't just rob him, can I?

"I didn't know President Liu was also the head of the Physician Guild with such superb medical skill. Had I known, I would never have proposed a contest and would have conceded long ago..."

Prince Feixuan hurriedly said.

Seeing that even His Majesty Tianxue was trying to befriend this man, he understood and dared not offend him.

Though physicians lacked the influence of masters, they were not to be underestimated, not something a mere prince could contend with.

Before he finished speaking, he heard the young man opposite sigh: "What? Concede directly? How embarrassing. Then I'll reluctantly accept this spirit beast herb..."

"..."

Prince Feixuan was stunned.

I said that as a polite remark, to save face. How did that become a concession?

A dignified president of the Physician Guild, a medical grandmaster—can't you have some shame?

Shocked, before he could explain, he saw the young man take the jade box from his hand, casually put it into his storage ring, and while stowing it, looked over with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "I'll take the herb. Your Highness is truly generous, conceding so readily. I feel undeserving!"

Come on, I came to the palace to get spirit stones. This herb can be exchanged for two spirit stones; how could I let it go?

"Generous? Undeserving?"

Prince Feixuan's mouth twitched, on the verge of tears.

He had seen shameless people, but never one so shameless.

You've already taken my herb, and you call it generous? Generous my ass!

Undeserving? I don't see any guilt, only a face full of smiles.

If I hadn't experienced it myself, I'd really doubt how such a shameless fellow could be a highly skilled medical grandmaster.
