Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2028: Chapter 2028: Do You Really Have to Be This Serious?

Whoa, isn’t that reaction a bit too much?

Ye Haochuan was shocked inside, feeling an uncontrollable urge to retreat.

But as soon as this thought arose, his stubborn nature suppressed it. On his journey, he had experienced many upstream struggles, but had never retreated just from someone’s imposing aura; it was simply his personality.

”Hmm?” The young man was clearly surprised by Ye Haochuan’s reaction. In his view, his aura would surely scare away this Nascent Soul Stage ant, making him flee in panic.

Yet in fact, Ye Haochuan didn’t move at all. Although there was some shock on his face, this wasn’t the reaction one would expect.

”Brother, I...”

Ye Haochuan tried to explain further, but the young man interrupted directly, saying, ”Shut up and face this!”

Before his voice fell, a solid Sword Qi slashed towards Ye Haochuan.

Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, Ye Haochuan had never released Sword Qi again, for no other reason than the rules of this realm were too formidable; his cultivation wasn’t enough for Spiritual Energy to break through and attack.

Upon reaching the Immortal Transformation Mid to Late Stage, the Flower Energy grew stronger, naturally allowing this level of attack.

Oh come on, isn’t this unreasonable?

Ye Haochuan was extremely frustrated and hurriedly dodged.

The power of that Sword Qi was remarkable, but not so fast that Ye Haochuan’s eyes couldn’t catch up. His feet swiftly activated the Great Yan Step, combined with the Communicating with God Treasure Order, instantly boosting his speed to the fastest.

Shhh~

The Sword Qi almost grazed Ye Haochuan’s nose, making him break out in a cold sweat.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the Sword Qi suddenly spun around sharply and attacked him again.

Damn, is it a tracking missile?

Ye Haochuan was startled, quickly dodging.

But this time, the Sword Qi’s speed unexpectedly increased.

Ye Haochuan struggled with all his might to barely evade.

The young man’s face remained calm, but now there was more admiration in his gaze toward Ye Haochuan.

The young man stood with his hands behind his back, right hand index and middle fingers mimicking the shape of a sword, flicking left and right. The Sword Qi swiftly changed direction with the flicking of his fingers.

The speed of the Sword Qi surged once more, making it extremely difficult for Ye Haochuan to cope. He paid no heed to anything else, focusing solely on evasion.

When he dodged the edge of the Sword Qi for the fourth time, its speed was already incredibly fast, equivalent to a full-strength strike from a normal Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage expert.

No, I can’t keep dodging like this; I’ll never avoid it forever!

Ye Haochuan made up his mind, then suddenly froze in place, ceasing all movement.

Seeing the Sword Qi about to attack his face again, he let out a fierce shout, and in his hands appeared the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, slicing down to collide with the Sword Qi.

Bam~

Ye Haochuan was instantly knocked back four or five meters before halting, his arms trembling slightly, face pale, clearly having been shaken considerably.

And under this strike, the Sword Qi dimmed by three degrees, its speed slowing momentarily.

”Ha!”

Ignoring his injuries, Ye Haochuan rushed forward, the Halberd of Heaven and Earth transforming into an Azure Dragon, roaring towards the Sword Qi.

Ding~

The halberd tip met the Sword Qi, like a dragon and tiger facing off.

The next moment, the halberd tip cracked, and the halberd body was covered in cracks.

Ye Haochuan felt heartache; this Halberd of Heaven and Earth had accompanied him all along the way, always unstoppable. Yet he hadn’t expected such damage here.

The damage to the halberd was not without benefits; seeing the Sword Qi dim after Ye Haochuan’s two attacks, it trembled a few times before suddenly dissipating.

Everyone was astonished; a strike from an Immortal Transformation Late Stage expert was broken by a Nascent Soul Peak kid—this was like a fantasy.

Though they could see the young man from Half-Mountain Residence hadn’t exerted full force, it was still unusual.

Thinking this, they couldn’t help but turn their heads back to the young man. Having his attack broken by an ”ant,” surely he had been humiliated publicly; they wanted to see how he would deal with Ye Haochuan.

To their surprise, the young man’s face remained calm, as if the previous attack wasn’t launched by him, as if he weren’t the one humiliated.

”Though the cultivation is low, the strength isn’t bad. With this aptitude, you could strive to succeed at the Disciple Selection Meeting, so why try to cut corners?” The young man said in an educating tone.

Come on, didn’t I say I’m not here for the Disciple Selection Meeting or any backdoor entry?

Ye Haochuan was utterly frustrated.

He wanted to explain, but from the young man’s uncompromising expression, he knew no matter how much he spoke, it wouldn’t convince him.

If blame is to be assigned, it’s the absence of Half-Mountain Residence’s token, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.

”I want to ask, if I attend the Disciple Selection Meeting, can I meet the higher-ups of Half-Mountain Residence?” Ye Haochuan suddenly changed tactics, asking.

Rather than waste words here with the young man, it might be better to switch strategies. As long as he can meet that half-black, half-white-haired guy, things would become simpler.

”The top three competition will be hosted by the Manor Master of Half-Mountain Residence and several seniors. If you’re looking for someone, you should be able to see them then,” the young man said expressionlessly.

”Alright, I’ll join the Disciple Selection Meeting!” Ye Haochuan decided.

Actually, he didn’t have any dislike for the young man. Though somewhat rigid, he didn’t deliberately make things difficult.

Though he intervened earlier, it was merely a test without heavy-handedness.

”You can join the Disciple Selection Meeting, but you have to queue!” The young man said coldly.

Come on, aren’t we familiar enough, and yet so serious?

Ye Haochuan pursed his lips, turned to look, and saw everyone in the crowd gazing at him with bizarre eyes, apparently urging him to queue.

Ye Haochuan again looked over the crowd; earlier he hadn’t paid much attention, feeling it wasn’t his concern. Now, seeing it, he felt a bitter taste in his heart.

There were hundreds if not thousands of people; judging by the speed, who knows how long the wait would be.

But it had come to this, Ye Haochuan dared not provoke public anger, obediently taking a number token and entering the crowd.

The queuing process was undoubtedly incredibly dull and frustrating.

People ahead went in one by one through the gate, stayed a few minutes, then swapped out for the next. In a blink, two hours passed, and Ye Haochuan was still only twenty people closer.

Seeing the hundreds ahead, Ye Haochuan was nearly in tears. A simple quest for someone had turned so complicated.

Fortunately, the people of Half-Mountain Residence were really ”dedicated,” despite nightfall, the registration continued.

With such diligence, Ye Haochuan was finally called in to register by the second evening...
