Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 764 - 766: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

Chapter 764: Chapter 766: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

“Hmm, Chief Chen had mentioned it to me.”

Xia Liu nodded slightly, having grasped the implication of Zhao Kun’s words.

“Daoist Fellow Xia, please don’t misunderstand, I am merely concerned whether the next Heavenly Mansion Chief has the capability to manage and benefit the warriors of Huaxia.”

“Daoist Fellow Zhao, are you suggesting that Daoist Fellow Xia is not up to the task?”

Chen Tian’en spoke candidly.

Since Zhao Kun wanted to stir up trouble, Chen Tian’en decided to facilitate it.

Below, many warriors also began to excitedly discuss among themselves.

Following Chen Tian’en’s interpretation, they finally understood that Zhao Kun’s real intent was to test Xia Liu!

If Xia Liu were to lose, then the position of the Heavenly Mansion Chief would be…

“Chief Chen, you’re taking it too seriously. I have no other intentions. Is questioning not allowed?”

Zhao Kun smiled slightly, already convinced that Xia Liu, after burning his Inner Origin, would regress in cultivation and would need at least twenty years to recuperate.

Once a Path-Entering Martial Artist burns their Inner Origin, the cost is unimaginable.

Just how profound it is, only a Path-Entering Martial Artist would fully understand.

“Chief Chen, everyone has seen what happened. This Daoist Fellow had to burn his Inner Origin to finally defeat Daoist Fellow Liu. There’s no doubt about his strength, but with the Inner Origin burned, we all know what the next few years will be like.”

Zhong Ming and Zhao Kun shared similar thoughts.

He also believed that Xia Liu had completely exhausted his Inner Origin.

Even if he were to take up the position of Heavenly Mansion Chief, without Path-Entering Cultivation, the Heavenly Mansion is bound to decline.

Once the Heavenly Mansion becomes unstable, the Huaxia Warrior Realm will fall into crisis.

“Daoist Fellow Zhong, Daoist Fellow Zhao, you both watched from the beginning to the end. The burning of Inner Origin was a last resort, and in my opinion, it will take Daoist Fellow Xia at most three years to return to his peak.”

“Chief Chen, stop deceiving yourself. Do you believe in three years?”

Zhao Kun shook his head. Even for him, burning Path-Entering Inner Origin would require at least ten or even twenty years for recovery.

Xia Liu is so young and has so little experience; returning to his peak in three years is just a joke.

Whether you believe it or not, I do, and I think many friends here do as well,” Chen Tian’en said, gesturing to the young warriors present: “Xia Liu, having advanced to Path-Entering in his twenties, a minor burning of Inner Origin is nothing a couple of years can’t heal!”

“Haha! I believe in Senior Xia!”

“I also believe!”

“The youngest Path-Entering Martial Artist in history, from Primary-Level to defeating High-Level, such talent, the future achievements are unimaginable.”

…

While the crowd was cheering excitedly, Xia Liu, standing at the back, threw a gray stone down by his feet.

At his feet, several gray stones were scattered.

“Let’s calm down a bit, everyone. Xia Liu’s talent is unquestionable, but you all do not understand the cost of burning Inner Origin. If luck is not on his side, it might take fifty years to never return to his former peak.”

Zhao Kun’s voice boomed across the viewing platform, his robust Inner Strength amplifying it, instantly quieting the warriors.

“That’s right, let’s be rational about this. Burning Inner Origin is no joke. To rebuild, it will take a massive amount of time and resources.”

Zhong Ming unhesitatingly stood by Zhao Kun.

The Zhong Family and Zhao Family were private allies.

He naturally had to support Zhao Kun.

If Zhao Kun had the chance to take the position of Heavenly Mansion Chief, the future of the Zhong Family would also be different.

With everyone in the audience falling into silence, Chen Tian’en didn’t know how to refute anymore.

“Therefore, I propose that Xia Liu’s qualification be revoked, and let the peak martial artists present compete instead!”

“Daoist Fellow Zhao, this does not comply with the rules. Daoist Fellow Xia hasn’t lost yet, how can his qualification be revoked.”

Chen Tian’en disagreed; although he wasn’t fully aware of Xia Liu’s situation, he was certain it wasn’t too severe. Zhao Kun was not qualified to revoke the assessment qualification!

“Tsk tsk! Chief Chen, you can’t protect him now. After burning the Inner Origin, a Path-Entering martial artist will no longer be a Path-Entering martial artist.”

“Haha! Precisely! Without Path-Entering cultivation, how can one control the Heavenly Mansion, how can one manage the martial artists of the world.”

Zhao Kun and Zhong Ming shared a tacit understanding; they hadn’t expected Xia Liu to end up in this position.

It provided them with such a good opportunity.

“Xia Liu…”

Ye Ruoxiang was watching the figure on the platform all this time.

Having gone through a brush with death, now such things were happening; he must be feeling terrible…

“It’s despicable! They’re actually playing the trick of the mantis stalking the cicada!” Ye Ruochu also couldn’t stand it any longer, seeing that this opportunity should have been Xia Liu’s.

In the end, it turned out they were making the wedding dress for someone else; those two old men are really shameless!

“Young lady, you shouldn’t speak like that. Although Xia Liu is terrifyingly talented, in the end without strength, there is no strength. We all qualify for the assessment, so there’s nothing despicable about that.”

Zhao Kun looked at Ye Ruochu arrogantly and said.

“Well, I didn’t say anything, did I?”

Just as Ye Ruoxiang was about to speak, a calm voice came from above.

“Daoist Fellow Xia! You…”

Just as Chen Tian’en was about to speak, Xia Liu raised his hand, signaling him not to speak.

“I know you didn’t say anything, but we all saw it. Your Inner Origin has burnt out, and you are no longer a Path-Entering martial artist.”

Zhao Kun’s face darkened. Even now, so calm, trying to overwhelm him in terms of momentum?

“Is it up to you to decide my cultivation level?” Xia Liu looked innocently at Zhao Kun.

“Tsk tsk, your current energy is hovering between Earth Rank peak and Earth Rank mid-level, you think I can’t sense it?”

“Enough talk, come up to the platform and accept the assessment.”

As he watched the dark War Platform, Zhong Ming gestured invitingly.

“Daoist Fellow Zhong, that’s against the rules, isn’t it? In previous assessment conferences, after winning one match, one must rest for ten days before the next match.”

Chen Tian’en couldn’t sit still anymore; it was clear that Zhong Ming and Zhao Kun were trying to cause trouble.

If they succeeded, then the position of Chief of the Heavenly Mansion might really become pitiful.

The Ye Family definitely would not take action. Not just this year, even in previous assessments, they had remained spectators.

Now that Xia Liu was seriously injured, Zhong Ming and Zhao Kun still wanted to hold the assessment; if this isn’t causing trouble, what is?

“Yes, I’ve heard from my father that after achieving the first victory, one should recuperate for ten days before the next match.”

“Now it seems we can look forward to another peak contest between Path-Entering martial artists in ten days!”

“Hehe! Just thinking about it is exciting. I wonder how much Senior Xia will have recovered.”

“I heard Senior Xia burned his Inner Origin; this is very serious. Really don’t know what the outcome will be, alas…”

Facing the words of Zhao Kun and Zhong Ming, everyone started worrying about Xia Liu.

“Let’s skip the ten days. How about this, anyone who needs to be assessed might as well come up now!”

Just as everyone was worried, the calm voice spread out gently…
