Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Star Physique_1

Just as Ye Luo and Hou Yaoyang were passing through a corridor preparing to enter the back courtyard, suddenly, a raucous noise erupted from the adjoining hallway.

A disheveled man holding a bottle of wine staggered to drink continuously while several men beside him kept trying to persuade him. However, the man stumbled all the way to where Ye Luo and Hou Yaoyang stood.

”Hey, it’s father, come, let’s drink together.”

The man was none other than the Hou family’s eldest young master, Hou Jingwu. Holding the wine bottle and looking at Hou Yaoyang, he slurred his words.

Seeing this scene, Hou Yaoyang’s expression turned extremely ugly as he yelled sternly, ”You good-for-nothing, how can you behave like this? Do you even resemble a son of mine, let alone deserve to be the Hou family’s eldest young master? You’ve lost all face for the Hou family.”

”What’s the point of being the eldest young master of the Hou family? Watching the woman I love lying there, unable to save her. What right do I have to be any young master of the Hou family? I’d rather not be this young master. I just want Die Wu to wake up.”

With a sorrowful sigh, Hou Jingwu collapsed to the ground, the wine bottle rolling from his hand. His eyes were filled with melancholy, grief, helplessness, and reluctance, a mix of emotions interwoven together.

”You... you are going to be the death of me. To fall so low over a woman!”

Hou Yaoyang pointed at Hou Jingwu, his face filled with a look of despised frustration.

However, Ye Luo’s eyes on the side were fixed intently on the figure of Hou Jingwu on the ground, revealing a hint of astonishment.

For when his Clairvoyant Eye observed the other person, he could not see through him at all. He could only see streaks of starlight twinkling on his body, which appeared incredibly eerie.

”The Star Physique, it’s actually the Star Physique!”

Suddenly, a surprised shout came from within the Eight Feet Mirror.

”Star Physique? What’s that?” Ye Luo asked in his mind.

”According to my memory, the Star Physique is a particularly powerful constitution. It is only slightly inferior to your Nine Yang Physique, master. Legend has it that a person with the Star Physique, when they cultivate to the utmost limit, can wield the power of billions of stars to attack, with strength that can destroy heaven and earth!” Xiao Ba said indifferently.

”Damn, that’s terrifying!” Ye Luo was shocked in his mind, and his eyes looked at the drunken Hou family’s eldest young master with an odd expression. Perhaps no one would have imagined that a drunken man could possess such a terrifying constitution.

”Wait a minute, Xiao Ba, if the Star Physique is so incredible, and you say my Nine Yang Physique is even stronger, then my constitution must be pretty amazing too!” Ye Luo couldn’t help but say.

”That should be the case, but legends say the Nine Yang Physique is one of the most powerful constitutions between heaven and earth. As for how strong exactly, it’s not recorded in my memories.”

”One of? Are you telling me there are other constitutions just as strong as my Nine Yang Physique!” Ye Luo exclaimed suddenly.

”That’s right, the path of martial arts is endless, and naturally, many powerful constitutions have been born in the world. However, anyone with a special constitution is at the peak of martial arts. It’s just that I’ve been asleep for too long and have lost many memories, so I don’t know much,” Xiao Ba explained.

Ye Luo didn’t pursue the matter further. After all, knowing too much was of no use to him at the moment. The only thing he needed to do now was to open his Nine Meridians and attain the Saint Realm.

”Immediately take the young master back. He’s making a spectacle of himself!”

Hou Yaoyang coldly shouted, his face filled with intense anger. Quickly, several men came over, helped Hou Jingwu to his feet, and took him away from there.

”I’m sorry, Mr. Ye, for making you witness such a scene,” Hou Yaoyang said apologetically as he turned to look at Ye Luo.

”It’s nothing,” Ye Luo shook his head and then said, ”However, according to what the young master Hou just mentioned, his behavior is due to his beloved. May I ask what exactly happened?”

”Ah, it all started five years ago,” Hou Yaoyang sighed, his expression complex, ”Jing Wu initially was a disciple of a first-rate Hidden Sect known as the Jiu Hua Sect, and it was said that his talent and strength were exceptional, even being favored by the Sect Leader of Jiu Hua Sect.”

”However, a year ago, he suddenly returned to the Hou Family, bringing with him a young girl who was in a coma. It seemed she had suffered some serious injury and had become like a vegetative person.”

”For the past year, Jing Wu searched everywhere for a way to wake her up but to no avail. Eventually, his will started to decay. He began drinking excessively, numbing himself with alcohol every day, turning into the drunken mess you see now. The old man and I have tried to advise him many times, but to no use.”

”It seems that all this is because of the young lady, Die Wu. That’s why the young master Hou indulges in alcohol to numb himself, to forget the pain in his heart, to forget everything,” said Ye Luo lightly.

Hou Yaoyang nodded and replied, ”Indeed, we later investigated at the Jiu Hua Sect and learned that Die Wu is the daughter of the Jiu Hua Sect Leader, and she had been in a relationship with Jing Wu for a long time.”

”But then Die Wu accidentally caught the eye of a disciple from a super-first-rate power, who wanted to take her away to make her his woman. Jing Wu, upon learning of this, naturally could not consent and in a rage, fought with the other party. It was during that time Die Wu was injured while trying to save Jing Wu, and Jing Wu’s Dantian was destroyed, dispersing his martial arts.”

”Were it not for the intervention of the Jiu Hua Sect Leader, he would have died back then. It’s because of all this that Jing Wu feels guilty and helpless to heal Die Wu, eventually becoming what he is now. Such a tragedy!”

Ye Luo’s gaze flickered, not expecting there to be so much to the story. In the end, it was all due to a woman’s calamity, truly a disaster brought by a beauty!

However, Hou Yaoyang said Jing Wu’s Dantian was ruined, and his martial arts were scattered, but Ye Luo felt that something was off. Jing Wu did not strike him as an ordinary person; if he was just a normal person, Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye should have been able to see through him.

”Master, the power of the Star Physique lies in the fact that it does not rely on the Dantian for cultivation but requires the activation of all 365 acupoints in the body to absorb the power from stars to enhance one’s strength. Therefore, the destruction of the Dantian does not affect its strength at all,” Xiao Ba’s voice timely chimed in.

”I see, that’s somewhat similar to my Nine Yang Physique,” Ye Luo nodded.

”Mr. Ye, let’s not discuss this matter any further, and go meet the old master first,” Hou Yaoyang suggested, looking at Ye Luo, and then the two entered the back courtyard.

In a courtyard in the back garden, Hou Xiangguo and the previously seen Mo Lao were sitting together drinking tea.

”Father, Mr. Ye is here!”

Hou Yaoyang walked in and addressed Hou Xiangguo, who had already stood up and was looking at Ye Luo with a smile.

”Mr. Ye, you have arrived. Please have a seat!”

”Old master, there’s no need for such formality. You can just call me Xiao Ye,” Ye Luo said.
