Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 628 - 614: Strike the Mountain to Shock the Tiger

"Hey, don’t be like that, women are people too, you know, is no one going to come up and spar with me?" Fang Yishui was quite frustrated. After ’winning’ against Yang Xiaoyu, there was suddenly no one else willing to come to the stage and spar with her. Those who had originally planned to go up had directly chosen to give up. To them, it was a matter of pride, as real men didn’t fight with women; this was a high-society circle, and the gentlemen certainly carried themselves with great decorum. So no matter how much Fang Yishui called out, nobody was willing to go up to the stage.

Sparring with a girl, if you won, it wouldn’t be something to be proud of. Everyone here was an esteemed member of high society, and they all cared greatly about manners and demeanor. If you lost, that would be even less honorable. So win or lose, it was a lose-lose situation, naturally turning this contest into a one-person show for Fang Yishui. The originally lively competition was completely thrown off by her. But fortunately, there had been a few exciting matches before, or else there might have been objections. Fang Yishui wanted to win more rounds, to receive more rewards, but with things turning out this way, her plans were spoiled, and she was naturally displeased.

However, displeased as she might be, with no one hardy enough to spar with her, she could only descend from the stage, sullen. Feng Tian was there, making fun of her with a sly laugh, "Senior sister, you were way too intimidating, so intimidating that no one dared to come up and spar with you. You just now, you were radiating dominance, it even scared me a little."

"Get lost, what dominance, what leaking, I am in a bad mood here, careful not to make me take it out on you," Fang Yishui said, waving her hand dismissively. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Feng Tian immediately shut his mouth sullenly.

"It’s still early, everyone doesn’t want to wrap things up already, do they?" Zhao Wangxu said with an elegant smile.

"It’s not exciting to watch, let’s have a master come up for a spectacular duel. Isn’t it rumored that Divine Doctor Tang is not only unmatched in medicine but also first-class in martial arts? Today is Divine Doctor Tang’s home ground, why don’t we have the star of the show take the stage for a bit, show us a few moves, and let us broaden our horizons?"

"Yeah, let Divine Doctor Tang take the stage. Haha, if I had the ability, I’d actually like to try my luck on stage, if by chance I accidentally beat Divine Doctor Tang, that would be so prestigious, wouldn’t it?"

"We have plenty of masters in Donglin City, everyone is being so low-key today, what’s with all this hiding and hoarding? After all this coaxing and teasing, not one beautiful jade has been lured out. Divine Doctor Tang, it’s your turn."

"Divine Doctor Tang, give us a show."

The enthusiasm of the crowd was high, and quickly everyone’s attention turned to Tangyu, urging him to take the stage. Tangyu’s lips curved into a barely discernible mischievous smile, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I suppose it’s an honor to be in the spotlight today. As I have already talked the talk just now, I might as well walk the walk once more." Saying this, Tangyu walked out. Seeing Tangyu take the stage, Zhao Yaya was thrilled, dancing with joy, "Yay, this is awesome, I finally get to see good guy brother compete."

Fang Yishui pursed her lips, "Talk about being low-key, as if."

With Tangyu on stage, some people were itching to go up, as beating Tangyu would definitely bring great honor. But even more were afraid to take the stage, as Tangyu’s prowess was the stuff of rumors.

Tangyu looked directly at Liu Dingyang, lips curling into a smile, "I’ve long heard of the infamous Young Master Evil, and that your strength is terrifyingly formidable. Today, as everyone’s in such fine spirits, let’s offer flowers to the Buddha on this auspicious occasion. Let’s use this marvelous place for a little friendly exchange—first, to satisfy my curiosity, and second, to add to the fun for everyone here. What do you think, Liu Dingyang?" While Tangyu spoke politely, the challenging undertone was unmistakably clear.

Seeing Tangyu openly challenging Liu Dingyang, everyone’s gaze fell upon him. That Tangyu and Liu Dingyang had some beef between them was no secret in the social elite circles, with virtually everyone in the know. And this time, it was obvious that Tangyu intended to use this contest as an opportunity to teach Liu Dingyang a lesson, which indeed surprised the onlookers. Right in front of everyone, he was essentially forcing Liu Dingyang into a corner, leaving no choice but to fight.

This inevitability of battle was unescapable and unavoidable.

Quite a few people could sense the tension in the air, Tangyu’s actions shifting their perspective of him once more. This man was definitely not the gentle and elegant figure he outwardly appeared to be. Underneath such gentleness, a formidable weapon was certainly hidden away.

Liu Dingyang’s expression momentarily soured but he quickly masked it with a cold smile, "Since Divine Doctor Tang is so spirited, I surely wouldn’t want to spoil the fun for everyone." With that, Liu Dingyang also strode out. The battle hadn’t even started, but the scent of gunpowder was already thick in the air. The sparks between these two were not to be underestimated. As they locked gaze, beneath the calm surface surged hidden currents of fighting spirit, strong and clear.

The lively ambiance became somewhat quietened.

The atmosphere, too, was somewhat diluted by the two men. This arena was definitely not just a simple bout of sparring; it was surely a battle of grievance and retribution. And Tangyu, choosing this moment and place to provocatively challenge Liu Dingyang, it was not a coincidence, but an opportunity. It was both an opportunity for revenge and a chance to strike terror—the very reasons behind Tangyu’s outright provocation of Liu Dingyang.

Since Tangyu had chosen to make a high-profile appearance at the Dragon and Phoenix Banquet, he decided to go all out and make a statement. He wanted to shake the mountains and startle the tigers, to tell everyone that even if he could not be ranked as the Sixth Young Master of Donglin due to his background, he was certainly not someone that a major figure like Liu Dingyang could afford to provoke. This was a calculated move that Tangyu had planned for some time.

"Please, go ahead," Tangyu gestured politely. His gesture was part gentlemanly etiquette and part an offer to let the other make the first move.

"Today, you are the main character, you should go first," Liu Dingyang said, pushed to this point, he could only try to salvage some dignity for himself.

With a slight curl of his lips, Tangyu replied, "Precisely because I am the main character today, I should insist that you go first." The word "insist" was deliberately emphasized by Tangyu, his lips curling up slightly, causing a shade of grimness to flash across Liu Dingyang’s eyes.

With things having come to this point, Liu Dingyang naturally had no way to refuse. He accepted the challenge silently. With a loud shout, he pounced towards Tangyu like a tiger, employing the Black Tiger Stealth to aim directly at Tangyu’s vital spots. A successful grab would be enough to defeat Tangyu in one move. An expert’s capabilities are apparent as soon as they make a move, and Liu Dingyang was clearly a master, not someone who Yang Xiaoyu or Feng Tian could compare with. Tangyu had crossed paths with Liu Dingyang several times, but they had never come to blows. Tangyu had always wanted to find an opportunity to properly teach this schemer a lesson and vent the frustration in his heart; now that the opportunity had presented itself, he would not let it slip away.

The move was fierce and cruel, showcasing Liu Dingyang’s profound martial skills and startling many onlookers.

The corners of Tangyu’s mouth twitched slightly; since he was going for a high-profile approach today, he might as well let loose.

Tangyu’s arm whipped out like lightning, wrapping around Liu Dingyang’s arm like a python, entangling and twisting it. With a sweeping leg move, he knocked Liu Dingyang to the ground in a flash. The whole process was extremely fast, so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to follow, and the majority of the audience failed to see how Liu Dingyang was knocked down by Tangyu.

Fast, exceedingly fast.

That first exchange stupefied the crowd. Such movements were rarely seen even in movies—spectacular and graceful.

While others might not understand what had just happened, Liu Dingyang was painfully aware. His eyes clouded over with a menacing gloom. His Black Tiger Stealth was indeed a vicious and ruthless technique, practiced to perfection, and he was confident that few could easily withstand it. Yet, Tangyu had deflected his move with ease, not only that but his arm had eerily entangled Liu Dingyang’s, momentarily gaining complete control over it, as if he intended to twist it off. Consequently, Liu Dingyang focused all his efforts on trying to free his arm from Tangyu’s grasp, resulting in a fierce clash between them. However, at that moment, Tangyu executed the Divine Dragon Swings Tail, sweeping Liu Dingyang off his feet and onto the ground.

It was too fast for Liu Dingyang to react or defend against.

Falling to the ground for the first time at the hands of his opponent made Liu Dingyang’s complexion turn cold, his eyes flickering with an unusual and sharp chill.

With a cold snort, Liu Dingyang charged again. Having learned from his previous mistake, he did not use Black Tiger Stealth again but instead adopted a more secure and aggressive approach, advancing step by step with both fist and foot techniques unleashing a ferocious onslaught. Liu Dingyang did not hold back, attacking with full force from the start. He was more aware than anyone of Tangyu’s intention to engage in a sparring session—to give him a lesson. If he proved to be the lesser fighter today, he would have no choice but to leave his reputation trampled upon. Therefore, Liu Dingyang had no other option but a desperate battle to possibly salvage some of his pride.

But clearly, this thought was too naïve, as Tangyu’s strength indeed exceeded Liu Dingyang’s expectations.

There were no surprises this time either; Liu Dingyang was swiftly knocked to the ground by Tangyu upon the first clash, another elegant defeat. Being overpowered by Tangyu twice, Liu Dingyang’s face turned even uglier, ghastly and grim. The cold glint flickering in his eyes seemed almost lethal. Such consecutive humiliations truly ignited Liu Dingyang’s True Fire; he was enraged, genuinely so.

This outcome shocked everyone, leaving them speechless. Their view of Tangyu drastically changed; Divine Doctor Tang was just too—well, something else.

Although it was called a sparring match, it was clear that the two were using it as a guise for a serious contest. Throughout this contest, Tangyu completely dominated, delivering two resounding slaps to Liu Dingyang in the form of Palm Thunder. He had the audacity to trample on Liu Dingyang’s dignity, something that perhaps only he, among everyone in Donglin City except the Five Young Masters of Donglin, dared to do. Tangyu really dared to act so boldly.

Many raised Tangyu’s status in their hearts once more.
