Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 769 - 743: Rising Reputation

Whoosh——

The entire place was in an uproar, bursting with a terrible fervor.

"Have they gone mad? Am I seeing things? This must be an illusion, right?"

"How could this be—Dong Zinian actually suffered a loss, my god, that’s an Inner Sect Disciple, a master of the Earthly Realm, how could he be defeated by Tangyu’s hand?"

"That sword just now—so fast and terrifying; it even wounded Dong Zinian. What kind of monster is this guy?"

"A Middle Rank Talisman Treasure Thunderclap Orb, to possess such an amazing treasure, just who is this guy?"

Everyone became immensely curious about Tangyu. A newcomer who had entered the Outer Sect just over half a month ago had actually stirred up such a stir, it was simply unprecedented. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, it was clear that Tangyu’s reputation was on the rise, his name buzzing everywhere for the time being.

This glorious record of achievements, if not unprecedented, was not too far off, right?

Hu Yaomei was also profoundly shocked, staring at Tangyu with glints of light flickering in her eyes. She knew that Tangyu was currently at the Eighth Layer of the Innate Realm, but for someone at the Eighth Layer of the Innate Realm to contend with Dong Zinian was obviously like casting stones against the wind, pure folly. Dong Zinian’s strength was probably at least at the Third Layer of the Earthly Realm, wasn’t it?

In terms of their Realms, Tangyu and Dong Zinian really were worlds apart, the gap between them not far from being an insurmountable chasm.

The Innate Realm and the Earthly Realm are inherently a vast difference. The disparity between these two levels is like the gap between the Grand Grandmaster Realm and the Innate Realm. Only those in the Earthly Realm can be considered true masters and elites in the Ancient Martial Realm, with the strength to make a name for themselves across the world. Moreover, a single expert of the Earthly Realm could establish their own Taoist Lineage and found their own Sect.

Put it this way, in the Ancient Martial World, aside from the nineteen major forces of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, many other Ancient Martial Arts Families and some smaller Ancient Martial Sects rarely have a master of the Earthly Realm. Generally, if they do have one, that person’s status is extremely high, serving as the pillar of the Sect.

Overall, the current polarization of wealth in the Ancient Martial Realm is very severe. This may also be why the Ancient Martial World is becoming increasingly desolate and declining, no longer embodying the past’s thriving and vigorous vitality. So now, the Ancient Martial World is, in general, like a stagnant pool, lacking much vitality to speak of.

If it weren’t for a mysterious force stirring things up recently, it’s feared that the Ancient Martial World would be as serene as endless cloudless blue skies.

From this, one can see just how exalted an expert of the Earthly Realm is, whether in terms of strength or status.

Because of this, Tangyu’s actions could be regarded as a defiance of the heavens.

Of course, there were many reasons behind it; it was indeed Dong Zinian’s carelessness that had allowed Tangyu to counterattack. But no matter the reasons, the most important thing right now was the outcome.

Dong Zinian’s complexion was so ugly it could scare people; those who had come with him from Morning Sun Hall looked at Tangyu in boundless anger, yet there was also a hint of shock in their hearts. They considered themselves to be influential figures in the Outer Sect, their strength at the pinnacle. But they were also quite clear that in front of an Earthly Realm expert like Dong Zinian, they really didn’t stand much of a chance to resist.

This made them feel exceedingly uncomfortable.

Tangyu also stared steadfastly at Dong Zinian. Now that they had completely fallen out, there was no holding back. If Dong Zinian dared to come at him, Tangyu was prepared to expend all his Talisman Treasures if necessary, just to inflict serious injuries on him.

A single Talisman Treasure might not be a big threat to Dong Zinian, only capable of causing minor injuries, but what if ten Middle Rank Talisman Treasures were hurled at once? He didn’t believe he couldn’t seriously injure Dong Zinian then. However, to consume so many Talisman Treasures just to deal with Dong Zinian was indeed a painful loss for Tangyu.

Hu Yaomei approached once again, looking at Dong Zinian and saying, "Let’s call it quits for today, shall we? I’ve already informed Senior Sister Qian Shanxue to come. Tangyu is a friend of Senior Sister Qian Shanxue, and you, as a distinguished Inner Sect Disciple, demeaning yourself by bullying an Outer Sect Disciple like this, may well be deemed shameful if word gets out."

Qian Shanxue?

Dong Zinian’s face turned cold, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. This woman he truly did not dare to offend, he didn’t even think of provoking her.

Although Dong Zinian wished to kill Tangyu on the spot, he calmed down at this moment. He faintly felt that Tangyu was an extremely troublesome person, considering just that one move had wounded him. Who knows what other treasures this guy had on him. If the fight continued and he couldn’t gain the upper hand, it would only result in the complete loss of his dignity.

Moreover, Dong Zinian had to consider Hu Yaomei’s words. If Qian Shanxue really did show up, and he was at fault, the situation would become even more embarrassing for him.

Attacking an Outer Sect Disciple publicly as an Inner Sect Disciple was indeed unseemly.

"Hmph, let’s leave it at this for today," Dong Zinian grunted after some contemplation. This score would have to be settled at another time. Settling it in the Outer Sect attracted too much attention. It would have to wait until Tangyu left the Outer Sect, then a good opportunity would be sought. A plan had already begun to take shape in Dong Zinian’s mind.

With a wave of his hand, Dong Zinian left with the members of Morning Sun Hall.

The departure of Dong Zinian once again caused an uproar. My god, an Outer Sect Disciple forcing an Inner Sect Disciple to back down—perhaps Tangyu was truly a unique case?

All sorts of gazes were again flooding towards Tangyu like a tide.

Under such admiring gazes, Tangyu did feel quite good. Although the battle had cost him a middle-rank Talisman Treasure, Tangyu was thoroughly exhilarated.

"Let’s go, we should head back," Tangyu said to Liang Youshan.

Liang Youshan immediately nodded. He didn’t want to stay in this place any longer either, feeling somewhat uneasy. It was better to get back to safety first.

Hu Yaomei also followed Tangyu and Liang Youshan back to Tangyu’s quarters. Once at home, Liang Youshan’s courage grew, and with an admiring grin, he looked at Tangyu, "That was incredible, haha, Boss Tangyu, to think you could force Dong Zinian to yield. Tsk tsk, this glorious victory will surely make you famous in the Outer Sect overnight. It won’t be long before there aren’t many who don’t know your name, Boss Tangyu. Haha, when we set up our stall next time, it will be like a living billboard – business will definitely boom."

Tangyu was quite satisfied with this outcome. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

The shock in Hu Yaomei’s heart had somewhat subsided, and her gazes towards Tangyu became even more charming and alluring, almost as if she wanted to devour him.

"Your strength is just too formidable, isn’t it? The speed of your improvement is like a rocket. Did you encounter some extraordinary fortune on this trip?" Hu Yaomei was really curious, and a woman’s curiosity could kill a cat, after all.

Hu Yaomei found that she was becoming more and more interested in Tangyu.

Tangyu curled his lips and said, "You could say that."

Hu Yaomei pursed her lips, "Alright, consider yourself tough, bumping into a great fortune just like that. Not bad at all, to think you’ve become rich so fast. Alas, I’m still struggling to make progress. Tangyu, why don’t you just take care of me? Just share some of your grand fortune with me."

Seeing Hu Yaomei’s coquettish and alluring appearance, Tangyu also grinned and said, "Can you wash clothes, cook, and warm the bed?"

"Washing clothes and cooking - who can’t do that? If you’re not afraid of being poisoned, then go ahead. As for warming the bed, I can’t do that, but I think I can manage pressing the bed," Hu Yaomei said.

"Er..."

Pressing—the bed?

Was it the male on top or the female on top kind of pressing?

Tangyu really wanted to discuss this profound philosophy of life with Hu Yaomei.

Hu Yaomei gave Tangyu a scornful look, "Although you took some advantage just now, Dong Zinian is not someone easy to provoke. The people from Morning Sun Hall are known for their arrogance and tyranny. Dong Zinian has some influence in Morning Sun Hall too. He definitely won’t let this grudge go and will come back for you."

"Today, he held back from reacting on the spot for a few reasons: first, he’s wary of Sister Qian Shanxue, second, he’s wary of the sect rules, and third, he doesn’t want people to gossip. Since he didn’t take drastic action today, it means he won’t directly confront you in the Outer Sect in the future. So, you need to be careful when you go out from now on. If Dong Zinian targets you, it won’t be easy. Although Sister Qian Shanxue can suppress him for now, we can’t always be by your side. From now on, you’ll have to rely on yourself."

Tangyu curled his lips, having naturally thought of all this himself, but what was there to fear?

He’d deal with soldiers as they come, and cover up water with earth - that was all.

If no one bothered him, then all would be well. But if someone provoked him, then they shouldn’t blame him, Tangyu, for turning into a venomous snake or a wild beast.

Seeing Tangyu’s nonchalant demeanor, Hu Yaomei shook her head and said, "Seriously though, by offending Dong Zinian, you’re almost offending Morning Sun Hall. With your current strength, you’re definitely worth recruiting by several powers. Hehe, what if I apply to the higher-ups to pull you into our Mysterious Clothes Association? Once you’re in the Mysterious Clothes Palace, Morning Sun Hall at least won’t dare to openly confront you. As for your personal grudge with Dong Zinian, you can handle that on your own."

Tangyu was momentarily taken aback and touched his nose as he looked at Hu Yaomei, "Doesn’t your Mysterious Clothes Association only recruit women? Are you changing the rules now?"

Hu Yaomei laughed, "It’s true that we only recruit women, but you know, there are always exceptions to everything. Like, if you were the man of one of our beautiful association members, you could naturally join the Mysterious Clothes Association, right? After all, laws are subordinate to human sentiment, let alone some rules."

Seeing Hu Yaomei’s flirtatious and beckoning eyes, Tangyu couldn’t help but curse in his heart, you sly fairy, are you only satisfied when I’m consumed with desire? Aren’t you afraid I’ll unleash my beastly nature and deal with you right here and now?

Anyway, you’re not my match right now, so wouldn’t you just be at my mercy?

"Are you suggesting I become Sister Qian Shanxue’s man?" Tangyu asked with brazen cheekiness.

Hu Yaomei glared at him immediately, "Keep dreaming, Sister Qian Shanxue is of such high status, she wouldn’t easily take a man. Look," she said, striking a pose, "why go far to seek what’s near? Can’t you see your sister right here? How about it, becoming my man, and I’ll let you join the Mysterious Clothes Association? Once you’re under our wing, you won’t have to worry about anyone bullying you."

Hu Yaomei’s bold move made even Liang Youshan drool uncontrollably.

Tangyu curled his lips and said, "No thanks, that feels like entering into a marriage beneath me. No, no."
