Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 629 - 615: Famous in Donglin
Chapter 629: Chapter 615: Famous in Donglin
Silence, complete silence enveloped the scene.
Tangyu’s actions were almost too brutal to watch. Such a defeat had exceeded the point of a friendly spar. As a member of high society, being knocked down twice would make anyone feel a loss of face. If it had been just once, followed by a cessation of the fight, it would have been laughed off. But this was a direct assault on one’s dignity. Liu Dingyang, being a proud man, couldn’t endure such humiliation.
Admitting defeat was out of the question. The notorious Liu Dingyang admitting defeat? Never.
Even if it meant dying there, he was determined to keep fighting. Liu Dingyang quickly got up again after falling once more, his face uglier and his glare at Tangyu more terrifying than ever. That look alone was chilling.
"Awesome, brother is so cool, beat him, beat him to death, turn him into a pig’s head!" Zhao Yaya was ecstatic, clapping and cheering for Tangyu excitedly. However, she was just a child and nobody took her words too seriously. Besides, she was the Zhao family’s beloved little princess, doted on by Zhao Wangxu. Even in his anger, Liu Dingyang wouldn’t dare vent it on her. The incident at the masked bar had caused him significant trouble; not only was the bar smashed, but he had also lost a good deal of money. But money wasn’t the issue; his lost face was. This annoyance, combined with his recent irritable mood, was exacerbated by Tangyu’s confrontation today.
This was exactly the effect Tangyu wanted.
Among the Five Young Masters of Donglin, except for Jiang Zhentian who occasionally showed displeasure, the other four seemed to enjoy the spectacle. Xiao Yu, who was close to Tangyu, naturally supported him. Huangfu Qingyun, due to his relationship with Huangfu Jing, also stood with Tangyu, as did Zhao Wangxu because of Zhao Yaya. As for Su Bachang, he was indifferent towards Liu Dingyang.
Xishi Wangmu and Doctor Xiao watched the fight with interest.
Liu Dingyang, somewhat frenzied, let out a bestial roar and charged at Tangyu like a wild beast, grabbing him in an attempt to push him out of the red circle. The red circle had a diameter of only three meters, and a few steps back meant stepping out of it. If a person strong as a tiger were to come forward, they could simply push their opponent out of the circle to win. In his rage, Liu Dingyang resorted to this method.
Tangyu spread his legs wide in a stance, bending them slightly inwards, unleashing his Dark Force in a move called Thousand-Jin Stand. This technique meant his feet were rooted firmly to the ground, immovable even under a thousand jin of force. While a thousand jin might be an exaggeration, it was certainly sturdy enough to withstand hundreds of jin of force. Tangyu solidly blocked Liu Dingyang’s rush, his feet unshaken, as if rooted to the spot.
Liu Dingyang continued to exert force, like a bull pushing against a wall. After blocking Liu Dingyang’s assault, Tangyu grabbed his legs, pulling and pushing upward, releasing a surge of Dark Force that struck Liu Dingyang’s legs, causing his arms to shake and forcing him to involuntarily step back. Feeling as if his arms might be torn off if he didn’t retreat, Liu Dingyang stepped back. But as he did, Tangyu’s leg swung in a lightning-fast Whirlwind Kick. Anticipating this, Liu Dingyang prepared to block, but Tangyu’s hands burst forth with another surge of Dark Force, throwing Liu Dingyang off balance.
"Bang!"
Tangyu’s foot heavily struck Liu Dingyang’s lower leg, like a large tree trunk crashing down, causing Liu Dingyang to lose his balance and heavily fall to the ground. The third time he had been brought down by Tangyu.
Many onlookers opened their mouths wide, struck dumb, unable to speak, their eyes filled only with surprise and shock.
Firstly, they were shocked by Tangyu’s formidable strength, and secondly, by his ruthless tactics. Playing with Liu Dingyang to such an extent that he was applauded was something only Tangyu could dare. It was a brutal blow to Liu Dingyang’s dignity, trampling and violating it utterly. This move pushed Liu Dingyang to a path of do-or-die hostility. Donglin City was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers with deep waters, and the notorious Liu Dingyang, only second to the Five Young Masters of Donglin in status, demonstrated just how formidable and well-backed he was. That Tangyu still dared to provoke him was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
"That’s so awesome, but I love this kind of dominance." Fang Yishui looked at Tangyu dreamily, his appearance indeed very handsome. Not only Fang Yishui, but many girls at the scene were also dumbstruck.
Handsome, a man couldn’t be more handsome than this.
"Humph, even if you like it, our good brother won’t like you," said Zhao Yaya.
Fang Yishui pouted and retorted, "What do you know, you little brat? I’m so beautiful and feminine, and besides being skilled, I’m Tangyu’s top disciple. How do you know he doesn’t like me? Maybe he’s already fallen hard for me, and we are meant to be. If you say that, I might just have to steal his heart even more. It’s not right to look down on people like that."
"You’re calling me small again? I’ll bite you to death," Zhao Yaya said as she bared her teeth and claws, about to pounce on Fang Yishui, but fortunately, Guo Momo pulled her back in time.
"Okay, okay, my mistake, I won’t say you’re small anymore, don’t get excited," Fang Yishui said, not daring to anger Zhao Yaya, who finally agreed to let it go.
"Even if you want to be the mistress to our good brother, it won’t be easy. There are many who like our good brother, each one prettier and more womanly than you. Even if you lined up, you’d be way back in line, never reaching your turn. So, you might as well give up that thought," Zhao Yaya said.
Fang Yishui responded, "Yeah right, I don’t believe it, I’m so outstanding and beautiful, there definitely will be a chance. If I can’t be the mistress, I can be the fourth, and if not the fourth, there’s still the role of a minor wife, right? And if not a minor wife, there’s still the lover. If not a lover, there’s still the concubine. In any case, there are plenty of options. Tangyu is so lustful, just a little flirtatious glance from me, and he’ll be captivated, easily caught. But for you, Zhao Yaya, even if you want to, you won’t have that chance. I wouldn’t bet on it, Tangyu definitely won’t like you."
"Who says so? Good brother really likes me a lot," Zhao Yaya retorted with a pout.
"Yeah, the kind of like where he sees you as a sister, I get it," Fang Yishui said.
Zhao Yaya was suddenly deeply hurt, yet quickly pouted again, "Then I still have a chance, when I grow up, I’ll be ready."
"..." The conversation between the two left Guo Momo speechless. She tugged at Zhao Yaya to stop her from continuing, thus cutting short their dialogue. Otherwise, there was no telling what more they might have said.
"Excellent skills, truly excellent. This guy, really is a freak, no idea where this oddity sprang from," the queen mother couldn’t help but quietly commend.
"He surely didn’t just pop out of a rock, did he? Queen mother, you’re also a master, why don’t you go up and exchange a few moves with him?" Xi Shi said with a smile.
"If I went up, he would definitely lose. I just don’t believe he would treat me this way," the queen mother said.
Doctor Xiao was completely composed, seeing Tangyu’s skills didn’t surprise her at all. The disciple of the Ghost Doctor, the sole direct disciple, was naturally well-versed in the Ghost Doctor’s true teachings. And the Ghost Doctor was one of the few Grandmasters in Huaxia Country. Even if Tangyu hadn’t reached the Grandmaster Realm, he was definitely not far off. And Doctor Xiao felt that Tangyu might have already reached the Grandmaster Realm; if he really unleashed his full power, killing Liu Dingyang in one move wouldn’t be a problem at all.
The Grandmaster Realm represents a whole new domain, a realm an ordinary person could never reach in their lifetime. Even in the recorded history of Huaxia Country, only a handful have reached the Grandmaster Realm. To achieve the Grandmaster Realm is truly a one-in-a-million, supreme martial arts genius. Many martial arts masters spend their whole lives unable to reach that realm. Of course, ordinary people wouldn’t understand this, so naturally, they don’t know how formidable Tangyu is. Doctor Xiao obviously knows a thing or two about this.
"Awesome! Simply explosive! Master is indeed the master, utterly domineering. If I fought with master, I’d just be a target for trampling. Fortunately, I was wise enough in this life to become disciple to such an incredible master, struck big. Hehe, I must make master teach me a few powerful moves next time, even if I have to pester him relentlessly. If I could be as formidable as master, then I’d rock," Feng Tianyi said with a covetous expression.
Seeing Liu Dingyang being tormented miserably on the stage, Sun Wukong also looked quite uneasy. In his heart, he understood that since tonight Tangyu openly demonstrated his power, he shouldn’t provoke Tangyu so casually in the future. This man was not someone he could afford to mess with; doing so could get himself into big trouble.
Liu Dingyang felt murderous, as he had never been humiliated or trampled upon his dignity like this before.
Tangyu looked at Liu Dingyang with a faint smile, thinking if he was going to trample, he’d trample brutally, crush him thoroughly in one go. Otherwise, it’d be a waste of his swagger and high profile. Tangyu seldom acted high profile, so how could he back down this time? It’s his nature; if he moved, it would be with deadly force. When the real Tangyu became angry, he was more ferocious than a wild beast.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhentian said, "That’s enough. Since it’s a spar, let it end here. Continuing would only hurt the harmony and break our spirits. Both of you are spirited and driven, probably went a bit too far today because of enjoying the wine. Both step down now." Jiang Zhentian’s words were not loud, yet they carried an undeniable authority.
Tangyu curled his lip as he glanced at Jiang Zhentian, seeing a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but Tangyu couldn’t care less. What did it matter how Jiang Zhentian felt? If he crossed Tangyu, he wouldn’t be polite. Liu Dingyang glared fiercely at Jiang Zhentian, then with great resentment, stepped down. The spar had thus concluded. Clearly, after tonight, Tangyu was bound to make a name for himself in Donglin and establish a towering image in the elite circles.
