Medic Martial Dragon King

”Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you, this is the martial artist expert Zhang Qiang by my side. I asked you to come because I want to trouble you to take a look at his wounds,”

Lin Bingrui gestured to Zhang Qiang to introduce him to Jiang Chen.

Zhang Qiang did not show any reaction, but his face was haughty as he looked at Jiang Chen, his eyes revealing a scrutinizing gaze.

Jiang Chen was taken aback. He noticed Zhang Qiang’s scrutiny but didn’t mind, giving Zhang Qiang a glance and nodding before stepping forward to start taking his pulse.

After a moment, Jiang Chen released his hand and spoke indifferently, ”The main reason for your injury is that you already had a hidden injury.”

Zhang Qiang was startled, a touch of astonishment flashing in his eyes, ”Right, I’ve had a hidden injury for a long time. I didn’t expect you could see that. Are you really not a martial artist?”

Lin Bingrui was also taken aback, his impression of Jiang Chen’s medical skills deepening.

”I am not a martial artist,” Jiang Chen shook his head. After examining Zhang Qiang’s pulse, he was even more certain that he was different from these martial artists, although he still hadn’t figured out exactly how.

Zhang Qiang’s eyebrows knitted slightly as he asked in a faint voice, ”If you’re not a martial artist, can you cure my injury?”

”I can treat your recent injury right now, but your hidden injury has built up over many years. If I treat it now, it will recur!” Jiang Chen explained Zhang Qiang’s condition.

Zhang Qiang asked in confusion, ”What do you mean?”

”Your hidden injury is likely due to something incorrect in the martial arts technique you practice. To cure it completely, you need to correct your cultivation technique, otherwise, even if your hidden injury is healed, it will continue to worsen!” Jiang Chen said to Zhang Qiang calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bingrui’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked at Zhang Qiang, knowing his temper. Hearing Jiang Chen say this, he was sure to get angry.

As expected, Zhang Qiang’s brow furrowed as he spoke in a deep voice, ”The technique I practice is inherited from my sect. Are you implying that my sect’s technique is flawed? Are you insulting my sect?”

”I have no intention of insulting your sect. However, there is indeed an issue with the technique you practice. I have told you the situation — whether you believe it or not is up to you,” Jiang Chen shrugged nonchalantly.

Anger surged in Zhang Qiang, who shouted, ”Nonsense! Our sect’s teachings have been passed down to this day, and I’ve never heard of anyone dying from practicing them! I think you’re just a charlatan trying to cling to President Lin by taking advantage of his need for an expert. Keep dreaming, get out of here right now!”

Jiang Chen sneered and turned to look at Lin Bingrui. It was Lin Bingrui who had invited him, not Zhang Qiang. If he was to leave, it had to be Lin Bingrui who told him to go.

Lin Bingrui also deeply furrowed his brow. Jiang Chen wasn’t even a martial artist and dared to criticize others’ cultivation techniques. That wasn’t just arrogant; it was ignorant!

Consequently, his trust in Jiang Chen weakened considerably.

”Mr. Jiang, sorry about that. Zhang Qiang has a volatile temper. How about... you go back first?” Lin Bingrui was still very polite, but the warmth in his eyes had diminished a lot.

Jiang Chen looked at Lin Bingrui deeply, nodded, and without saying anything, turned and left Lin Bingrui’s villa.

”President Lin, we absolutely can’t rely on that guy. He’s full of nonsense, even daring to say our sect’s technique has flaws. He must be a swindler,” Zhang Qiang burst out angrily as soon as Jiang Chen had left.

Then, looking at Lin Bingrui, he said, ”Look, I have a senior brother who is extremely powerful. He’s proud and usually refuses to take action, which is why I hadn’t recommended him before. But now, I think it’s necessary to ask him to come. Not only because you have no other choice for your situation, President Lin, but I also want my senior brother to teach this arrogant fool a lesson!”

”Really? Well, that’s great!” Lin Bingrui’s eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.

He knew of Zhang Qiang’s skills; if Zhang Qiang said his senior brother was even more formidable, then this matter was as good as settled. As for Jiang Chen, at worst, they could use the fact he saved Lin Bingrui’s father as leverage to ask his senior brother to go a little easy on him.

Seeing Lin Bingrui nod, Zhang Qiang took out his phone and dialed his senior brother’s number.

”Hello, junior brother.”

After connecting the phone call, Zhang Qiang’s face showed respect as he began, ”Senior brother, I need your help with something.”

”Go ahead.”

”It’s like this...”

Zhang Qiang explained the situation with Lin Bingrui.

Lin Bingrui watched Zhang Qiang with a tense expression. The arrival date of his nemesis was fast approaching, and he had to find a master to help. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble!

”I won’t go!” Having heard about Lin Bingrui’s situation, Zhang Qiang’s senior brother rejected the idea without a second thought.

Zhang Qiang’s face changed slightly as he urgently said, ”Senior brother, it’s not just about this matter. There’s someone who insulted our sect, claiming that our cultivation technique is flawed. Can you tolerate this?”

”What? How dare they insult our sect?! Where are they?” A roar came through the receiver.

Zhang Qiang’s face lit up with joy as he quickly replied, ”He’s in Dingjing. Here’s what we’ll do, senior brother. Come over to President Lin first, I’ll have President Lin call that person over, and then you can give him a hand as well, how about that?”

”Alright!”

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Qiang nodded at Lin Bingrui, then sneered, ”Hmph, that Jiang Chen dares to insult my sect. Just wait, my senior brother will teach you a lesson!”

Lin Bingrui’s face brightened, but then worry flashed in his eyes as he said softly, ”Zhang Qiang, Mr. Jiang did save my father’s life after all. When your senior brother arrives...”

”President Lin, don’t worry, I won’t let my senior brother go so far as to kill him, but he won’t escape a lesson!” Zhang Qiang waved his hand and cut off Lin Bingrui.

Lin Bingrui nodded, thinking to himself:

Mr. Jiang, this is as far as I can help you. You really shouldn’t have made such outrageous statements. This is asking for trouble!

...

After leaving the Lin Family, Jiang Chen continued his usual routine of running between the first hospital and his clinic. The rest of his time was spent diligently cultivating, striving to reach the bottleneck to absorb the Blood Jade and advance as soon as possible.

Two evenings later, Jiang Chen felt he was ready. After dinner, he returned to his room, locked the door, and took out the Blood Jade.

”I’m counting on you! I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Jiang Chen whispered to the Blood Jade in his hand.

A determined look flashed in his eyes as Jiang Chen closed them and began to absorb the Blood Jade.

”Hummm—”

After a very faint sound, waves invisible to the naked eye emerged in the air, and the Blood Fiend Aura from the Blood Jade continuously entered Jiang Chen’s body.

Jiang Chen felt a warm current entering his abdomen’s Dantian from his arm, slowly circling within.

A while later, the blood color on the Blood Jade faded, and Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

”How can this be?”

Jiang Chen muttered to himself with a frown, a hint of strangeness flashing in his eyes.
