Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 578: Can this work?

Everyone turned to look at Xu Ke.

Xu Ke took a deep breath and suddenly broke into a smile. "No problem!"

His words caused an immediate uproar. Seeing Xu Ke's relieved smile, the crowd was filled with disbelief.

"Xu Ke, is that for real?"

"You aren't just putting on a brave face, are you?"

"Surely your arm has gone numb by now?"

They didn't quite believe his response. Just moments ago, Tang Yingchang's punch was so fierce that it made Bai Qian'er's group break into a cold sweat just from watching, and even Han Wang couldn't help but gasp. If Han Wang had taken that punch without his Protective True Qi, he would have been half-dead. What's more, how could Xu Ke, a mere postnatal Martial Artist, possess any Protective True Qi? His arm was probably broken.

But Xu Ke simply lifted his arm, moving it around as he asked, "Does this look like a problem?"

Everyone froze, then took a sharp breath, their eyes shining with incredulity. It seemed… he was really fine? Especially when they saw that the blood, which had been gushing from his arm like a burst dam, had now stopped flowing. They were almost convinced he was healed.

Could getting punched by an Innate Great Perfection expert really have such a miraculous effect?

They looked at each other doubtfully, then down at their own fists, a thought crossing their minds—

Should I try punching myself?

A bizarre atmosphere settled over the wasteland.

"Mister Xu, let me have a look," Tang Yingchang said, equally astonished as he moved to step forward. It was one thing to trust Xu Ke's medical skills, but without seeing it with his own eyes and feeling it with his own hands, Tang Yingchang had a nagging sense of unreality. He'd never seen anything like this in his entire life.

But Xu Ke hastily waved him off. "Elder Tang, the priority is to continue helping me. Let's not worry about this right now."

If he touches me, the medicinal power will surge again and I'll start bleeding from all my orifices.

"Oh, right! Of course, let's go!" Elder Tang snapped out of his daze and quickly got into position.

This time, with his previous experience, Xu Ke was even more adept, like a tiger with newfound wings.

"In three seconds, hit here with ten percent of your leg strength, and channel True Qi using your Cultivation Technique."

"Okay!"

"In five seconds, hit the thigh! Use thirty-five percent of your strength, and don't use the power from your Dantian."

"No problem."

As the crowd stared on in growing stupor, Xu Ke frantically directed Tang Yingchang to attack him. Each punch and kick was perfectly executed, precisely neutralizing the violent medicinal power without any error. Everyone who witnessed this went from disbelief to utter shock.

Bai Qian'er and the others were relatively calm. After the initial shock, they had grown somewhat numb to it, as this wasn't the first time they had seen Xu Ke perform such inhuman feats.

But the rest of the group, every single one of them an expert at the Innate Great Perfection Level, felt their hearts pound and a chill run down their spines the longer they watched. This was especially true for Shi Hongda and Han Wang. They understood all too well what Xu Ke's actions implied.

If Tang Yingchang, under Xu Ke's direction, threw one punch that left Xu Ke unscathed, we could have ascribed it to luck. But under his command, every single strike from Tang Yingchang has the perfect amount of force and True Qi. That is definitely not a coincidence.

This pointed to a terrifying fact—Xu Ke's understanding of the Innate Great Perfection Level was incredibly profound. His understanding was so outrageously deep that it made them wonder if Xu Ke himself was at the Innate Great Perfection Level. If he wasn't, how could he possibly possess such insight? But the truth was right before their eyes: Xu Ke was absolutely not an Innate Great Perfection cultivator.

That left only one conclusion: Xu Ke had gained this profound understanding merely through his interactions with the Innate Great Perfection experts around him. What did this mean? It meant that not only was Xu Ke's talent for cultivation astonishing, but his comprehension was even more terrifying.

"This man cannot be allowed to live," Shi Hongda and Han Wang murmured, exchanging a glance. If someone like him were actually allowed to reach the Innate Great Perfection Level... no, even if he only reached the Innate Mid Stage, they would all be in grave danger.

Xu Ke was completely unaware that their wariness toward him had risen to a new level. Then again, even if he had known, he probably wouldn't have cared. To be honest, Shi Hongda and the others already took him so seriously that they had dispatched this many Innate Great Perfection experts to kill him. How much more seriously could they possibly take him? Could Shi Hongda summon an entire company of masters?

At that moment, Xu Ke was still directing Tang Yingchang to help him disperse the medicinal power. "In six seconds, hit here..."

"Yes."

"Here..."

"Yes."

Tang Yingchang nodded, but just as he was about to throw his punch, he hesitated. "Mister Xu, are you sure about this one?"

"I'm sure."

"But... Miss Wang might not approve, right?" Tang Yingchang offered a strained smile.

Xu Ke paused, then looked down. When he saw where he was pointing, he flushed with embarrassment. "Never mind. Wait another ten seconds..."

He had been so focused on the flow of medicinal power inside him that he hadn't realized he was pointing to his lower body. Tang Yingchang nodded repeatedly. Xu Ke coughed twice to cover his embarrassment. In truth, if it came down to it, a hit there would have been fine. But it was best to avoid it if possible; after all, no one wanted to risk a lasting injury.

As the embarrassment faded, Xu Ke's mind drifted into contemplation. I didn't even know the medicinal power would flow there. If that's the case, what did Master do all those years ago when the power of the Kirin Ginseng passed through that area of his body? Knowing his personality, he probably wouldn't have hesitated...

At this thought, Xu Ke suddenly felt a strange tightness in a certain part of his body, followed by a sudden drafty feeling below his waist.

BANG.

Just as Xu Ke's body tensed, Tang Yingchang kicked him in the thigh. The violent medicinal power completely dissipated.

"Mister Xu, is it done?" Tang Yingchang asked immediately, seeing that Xu Ke had stopped shivering and was no longer bleeding.

"It should be," Xu Ke confirmed after a moment, nodding.

"That's wonderful!" Tang Yingchang was ecstatic. The group of people not far away finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how much they wanted to kill Xu Ke, for now, him staying alive was most beneficial to them.

But just then, Xu Ke's expression suddenly changed. "Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong? Is it not over yet?" Tang Yingchang's face went pale.

The surrounding crowd was startled as well. Was there another problem?

"No, just guard me for a moment..." But before Xu Ke could finish, he hastily sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. He had no time to deal with Tang Yingchang now.

Seeing this, Tang Yingchang was baffled. Guard him?

Just as the thought crossed his mind, he heard a sound emanating from within Xu Ke's body, like water sloshing in a bottle.

BOOM—

Tang Yingchang was stunned. The people in the distance were shocked yet again. Did something go wrong with Xu Ke?

But as they all focused their attention on him, their mouths gradually fell open, their faces filled with utter disbelief.

What the hell? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

They watched as the True Qi inside Xu Ke's body began to churn like boiling water. The air around him grew exceptionally heavy as his aura surged, rising like the morning sun until it reached a glorious peak.

It was the sign of a breakthrough!

At that moment, everyone present stood dumbstruck, their gazes vacant.

He leveled up just like that? That's it? It can work like that too?!

Then, a shrill cry echoed across the wasteland.

"I fucking knew we shouldn't have given that bastard the Jade Mountain Lotus!!"
