Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1530: Chapter 1166: The Name of the Southern Emperor Shall Never Fall

Hidden clans, treading on their own reputation to shape their supreme prestige, have they not stepped on the most stringent of the Southern Country? Have they not trampled one of the worldly dominators beneath their feet?

This is no longer a mere martial skills contest, but a battle of strength between the hidden clans and those who rule the mundane world!

And Gu Changsheng, fittingly or not, represents those who reign within this mundane world!

The Medicine Immortal Old Man only thinks of retreating with his whole self, doesn’t Gu Changsheng think the same?

More than anyone, she wishes to retreat safely, yet more than anyone, she desires victory in this Nirvana Martial Contest!

For nothing else, but to prove that the vast territory of the mundane world is not inferior to the hidden clans, she cannot give up!

Martial skills contest?

Through many storms and battles, life and death in a blink, Gu Changsheng doesn’t know how many times she has endured, would she flinch in the face of a mere contest?

While the Medicine Immortal Old Man and others worry about how Gu Changsheng can retreat safely, Gu Changsheng contemplates...

How to achieve victory!

Exactly!

That’s it!

She never thought that participation alone was sufficient, the word defeat never exists in Gu Changsheng’s lexicon!

She intends to win!

While the world believes Gu Changsheng has no chance and is certain to lose, what her eyes are fixed on is always the throne of victory!

She is used to standing high, looking down on all; she cannot bear being under others’ feet, receiving their lofty disdain!

”Come, come, eat more, kiddo, eat well so later when on the stage you can escape faster, avoiding more strikes!”

At the dining table, the Medicine Immortal Old Man put a piece of greens in Gu Changsheng’s bowl, muttering incessantly.

”Mm.”

Gu Changsheng nodded, accepting without refusal, putting the vegetables given by the Medicine Immortal Old Man into her mouth, yet she did not comment on his words.

Some matters she knows herself, no need to let those who truly care about her become worried too.

”Now, beauty, eat quickly, after you’re done the City Lord will teach you a Qinggong set, trust the City Lord, even if unable to gain an advantage against the Masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm, avoiding their advantage is certainly achievable!” Shi Wujue also placed food in Gu Changsheng’s bowl, his sinister face with undeniable worry spoke.

”Gu Changsheng, I’ll lend you my soft armor, it’s given to me by my Father King, it’s our Northern Mongolian Supreme Treasure, impenetrable to blades and fireproof...” Borjigin Nian also followed with his words.

Yue Xilou, seeing this, lifted his head from the food before him, glanced at Gu Changsheng, and said, ”My fan, if you’re handy with it, take it, there’s a mechanism in the handle, it can release countless needles, if the fight is impossible to win, use it and buy yourself some time to retreat safely...”

”...”

”...”

A breakfast, a breakfast before the Nirvana Martial Contest semifinals, in a chorus of worried exhortations, passed by.

After breakfast, the Medicine Immortal Old Man somehow procured a large bundle, directly shoved it into Gu Changsheng’s embrace, his old face full of proud expression.

”What is this?” Suddenly feeling the weight, Gu Changsheng looked at the bundle in her arms, with a bewildered face.

”Good stuff! All treasures!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man heard and patted his chest, saying, ”Old me personally crafted, no one in the world can evade, poison! Kiddo, old me has brought out all my trickery for you, you must not disgrace us and lose too badly!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng frowned instantly, ”Aren’t you sure I’d inevitably lose? So why bring out these things?”

”Hehe...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man, hearing this, felt embarrassed and rubbed his nose, ”Well, if you can win, it would naturally be best; you already have the opportunity for Sudden Enlightenment, just one step away from the door if you happen upon winning the First at the Nirvana Martial Contest and seize the Spiritual Treasure, it can pave your path to Conquest Realm, transcending beyond...”

Gu Changsheng heard, her Phoenix Eyes sparkled.

She could feel the hope the Medicine Immortal Old Man held for her, akin to a father’s longing for his child’s success.

But using poison?

During the initial elimination, using medicine stemmed from knowing the hidden clans’ intention of sending Primordial Transformative Realm disciples, aiming to embarrass the hidden clans, but really employing poison?

While hidden clans engage in such disgraceful acts with poison, she, Gu Changsheng...

She, Gu Changsheng, could not!

Reaching out, she pushed the bundle back to the Medicine Immortal Old Man, shaking her head, ”You keep these treasures, I don’t need them for now.”

Saying so, Gu Changsheng walked towards the other side of the corridor.

”Kiddo! You...”

The Medicine Immortal Old Man looked at the rejected bundle in his arms, his old face full of concern.

”If I am to win, I will win honorably! If I am to lose, it will be openly!”

Without turning her head, Gu Changsheng waved to the Medicine Immortal Old Man and quickly vanished around the corridor’s corner.

”This kiddo, why are you so prideful?”

Watching Gu Changsheng’s disappearing figure, the Medicine Immortal Old Man couldn’t resist stomping his foot in agitation, muttering.

A long purple figure appeared at some point behind the Medicine Immortal Old Man, slightly lowering her head to glance at the bundle in his arms. Her deep eyes then turned in the direction where Gu Changsheng had left, filled with concern...

”What’s that expression on your face, you brat from the Zhou family?” The Medicine Immortal Old Man tilted his head, glanced over, and saw Zhou Mu looking worried, frowning as he asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu seemed a bit dazed, his brows tightly knitted. He lowered his head and muttered, ”I don’t know! My heart just feels a bit uneasy...”

From Liuzhou City to the Southern Border, traveling together, Zhou Mu asked himself, he knew Gu Changsheng even better than she knew herself...

So calmly telling everyone she was going to participate in the Nirvana Martial Contest, had she really prepared to accept defeat?

In his heart, Zhou Mu felt uneasy. He wasn’t certain...

Not sure if this inherently proud young woman could really face failure so calmly!

But if she couldn’t face failure calmly, what else could she do?

Facing Masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm, she really didn’t have any chance of winning...

”You’re overthinking it, brat. After all, it’s just a loss. What’s the big deal about getting beaten up? Haven’t I gotten beaten up too? Who hasn’t lost a few times in life? You get used to being hit more often! Ouch...” As the Medicine Immortal Old Man spoke, he grimaced, pulling on his wound and letting out a painful sound.

”...” Zhou Mu looked at the Medicine Immortal Old Man before him, shaking his head helplessly, and turned to leave.

Gu Changsheng had just finished breakfast and said she wanted to go for a walk alone; he saw the Medicine Immortal Old Man follow and only came to take a look.

In truth, Zhou Mu knew that Gu Changsheng must have gone to Gu Taitian’s door!

Lately, Gu Taitian had been shutting himself in, not even seeing Changsheng. Zhou Mu knew his little woman seemed strong, but her reliance on her father-in-law wasn’t very apparent...

The Father-in-law shutting himself away and not seeing anyone must have left her somewhat disappointed in her heart...

Zhou Mu thought, correctly, that Gu Changsheng was standing at Gu Taitian’s door at that moment...

The door remained tightly closed, with no sound from within...

Gu Changsheng looked at the closed door, a hint of disappointment on her swollen little face.

Raising her hand, she touched her swollen face and muttered to the closed door, ”Dad, your daughter got slapped, thankfully you’re hiding in the room, or you’d get so upset...”

”Dad, when you come out, you must avenge me. Remember, it was that damn Medicine Immortal Old Man who slapped your daughter...”

”But don’t get mad; your daughter has already taken revenge, I bit him hard, drew blood...”

”...”

”Dad, your daughter is going to the semifinals of the Nirvana Martial Contest, and the opponents include two Masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm. They say your daughter doesn’t stand a chance...”

”Dad, if your daughter loses to others, would you feel ashamed for having such a useless daughter...”

The more Gu Changsheng spoke, the quieter her voice became until she lowered her head, looking quite dejected...

”But dad, your daughter won’t let you down. She will do better, do her best...”

”Hidden World Clan, for the sake of reputation, has revealed their trump cards, your daughter...”

”Your daughter’s title as the Southern Emperor, cannot be tarnished either!”

After saying this, Gu Changsheng suddenly raised her head, her originally radiant little face still red and swollen, with slap marks clearly visible on her cheeks. Yet her eyes shone brightly, filled with unwavering determination!

”Dad, I am Southern Emperor Changsheng, and my name must not be tarnished! Dad, wait for me, wait for your daughter to return victorious...”

After saying this, Gu Changsheng took one more look at the tightly closed door, turned around, and quickly walked away!

Not once did she look back...

That’s right!

This is her decision, Gu Changsheng’s decision!

The unyielding prestige is not just of the Hidden World Clan but also her, Gu Changsheng!

In Liuzhou City, the name of the Medicine God was renowned throughout the world, known to all. During the Southern Border, the name of the Southern Emperor became famous, resounding across the world, and when the Southern Country was founded, the name of the Southern Emperor gained recognition throughout this vast territory!

She, Gu Changsheng, has always stood at the top, condescending to gaze upon the world, never to be trampled into dust and stepped on by others!

She won’t allow it!

Since she won’t allow it, no one can trample over Gu Changsheng to build their reputation!

The Hidden World Clan, the Masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm?

She will experience the limits of what she can do under absolute power!

Admit defeat?

Failure?

No!

Those are definitely not the results Gu Changsheng wants...
