Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 990: Tit for Tat

Huang Miao had the self-awareness to know that what Fang Bai was saying was the truth, yet she did not have a high opinion of Fang Bai, considering him to be no match for Tu Hu either.

It was a lose-lose situation either way; instead of letting Fang Bai face Tu Hu and get hurt, she preferred to step forward and battle Tu Hu herself.

Moreover, Huang Miao felt that having been in the Inner Court with Tu Hu for many years, they shared some rapport. Even if she were to lose, Tu Hu would probably not strike with full force, but since Fang Bai was new to the Inner Court, it was hard to say whether Tu Hu would show him any mercy.

Out of the desire to protect Fang Bai, she did not want him to step forward.

"Junior Brother Fang..."

Huang Miao pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth, ready to persuade Fang Bai to change his mind and not get involved.

"Senior Sister Huang, I’m more confident than you when it comes to dealing with Senior Brother Tu!"

Before Huang Miao could speak, Fang Bai immediately added, "If you step in, you will surely lose, while I have a chance to win. Therefore... to preserve the antlers of those Antlered Silver Lions, let me battle Senior Brother Tu!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

Until this point, Huang Miao’s impression of Fang Bai was that he was low-key and restrained, never aggressive or eager to outdo others, always appearing as if he was detached from worldly concerns, with a light-hearted demeanor.

Yet at this moment, Fang Bai was like a drawn sword in a fierce battle with Zhou Tong, suddenly revealing his sharp edge, dazzling brilliance, and an overwhelming aura.

Watching a confident Fang Bai, Huang Miao’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but then she saw Fang Bai already striding toward Tu Hu.

"Senior Brother Tu, I represent our team and challenge you to a battle!"

Facing the daunting martial artist’s aura released by Tu Hu, Fang Bai walked until he was only ten feet away from him and came to a stop. Then he pointed at Tu Hu and called out loudly, "Come, Senior Brother Tu, let me see your masterful techniques!"

As Fang Bai spoke, he no longer deliberately suppressed his cultivation level, but unleashed an aura that matched Tu Hu’s martial artist presence.

"High Rank Heaven Level Martial Artist..."

Tu Hu sensed the martial artist’s aura emanating from Fang Bai, an aura not weaker than his own. His eyes widened sharply, pupils contracted in disbelief.

"I wasn’t mistaken, Junior Brother Fang, you truly are a hidden dragon!"

After coming back to reality, Tu Hu looked at Fang Bai with a complicated expression and exclaimed.

Before this, Tu Hu had suspected that Fang Bai, like him, might have concealed part of his strength, but he had not anticipated that Fang Bai’s cultivation level would be on par with his own. This realization shocked him greatly, far exceeding his expectations.

With good natural talent and a stroke of enviable fortune, Tu Hu became the youngest person ever to top the Bitao Martial Academy Inner Court disciple combat power ranking list in his early thirties.

Before this mountain training exercise, Tu Hu’s cultivation level had actually advanced to the High Rank Heaven Level realm, qualifying him to join the ranks of Core Disciples. He kept it under wraps with the intent to surprise everyone during this mountain exercise and achieve a stunning impact.

Not long ago, in a battle with Zhou Tong, who was ranked eighth on the Core Disciples combat power list, Tu Hu revealed his true strength, defeating Zhou Tong with ease, shocking many members of the Cultivation Team, achieving his aim of a thunderous impact.

This made Tu Hu somewhat complacent, feeling that among the thousands of disciples in the Bitao Martial Academy, no one improved faster than he did. He even thought it wouldn’t be long before he could advance to a higher level, enter the ranks of Direct Disciples, or even join the higher echelons of the Bitao Martial Academy, a dream that was no longer far-fetched.

But at this moment, Fang Bai’s performance was a heavy blow to Tu Hu, leaving him disheartened.

In Tu Hu’s eyes, Fang Bai’s cultivation level was comparable to his own, but Fang Bai was about a decade younger. Moreover, Fang Bai had a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root. Unless he encountered an even greater opportunity, as time went on, Fang Bai would surely leave him far behind in both realm and cultivation level.

Seeing Fang Bai burst out with an aura equal to Tu Hu’s, the surprise was not limited to just Tu Hu. Standing not far behind Fang Bai, Huang Miao and Hou Ziping were also dumbfounded, staring at Fang Bai’s back with expressions of disbelief.

Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu, however, were excited and thrilled.

Ever since the siblings had met Fang Bai, they had witnessed him creating one miracle after another that seemed unimaginable.

Just now, Fang Bai had taken Huang Miao’s place in the fight. Huang Miao and Hou Ziping had secretly worried, thinking Fang Bai was no match for Tu Hu, but only the siblings had great confidence in Fang Bai.

Because the two sisters knew Fang Bai well, they knew that if Fang Bai made a move, it meant he was sure of victory.

When Fang Bai released a Martial Artist aura on par with Tu Hu’s, the siblings were overjoyed and completely relieved.

The sisters knew that Fang Bai had the ability to challenge those of a higher level than himself. Now that Fang Bai’s cultivation level was equal to Tu Hu’s, it meant that Fang Bai could easily defeat Tu Hu.

So, the outcome of the duel was already clear in the eyes of the siblings before it even began.

The sisters were already picturing the scene of Tu Hu being brutally beaten by Fang Bai. Looking at Tu Hu, they couldn’t help but show a bit of sympathy and pity.

Tu Hu did not notice the strange looks from Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu as his attention was entirely focused on Fang Bai, his expression serious, as if facing a great enemy.

Although the aura Fang Bai emitted was comparable to his own, Tu Hu felt immense pressure because he realized that up until now, he still couldn’t quite see through Fang Bai. His younger junior brother seemed like the deep sea, unfathomable.

"Senior Brother Tu, if we’re talking about concealing one’s strength, we’re in the same boat!" Fang Bai said with a light smile, responding to Tu Hu.

Tu Hu laughed heartily, then his expression turned solemn, "Junior Brother Fang, our contest for the corpses of the Antlered Silver Lions is not intended to be an act of enmity towards you. It’s a necessity for cultivation. I hope Junior Brother Fang can understand!"

"I understand!" Fang Bai nodded, "In the Martial Dao World, distribution of benefits is always determined by the strength of one’s fists. It’s the same principle when we enter the mountains to cultivate! So, although I somewhat despise Senior Brother Tu and your team members for taking advantage of the situation, I won’t hold a grudge."

"Thanks for understanding!" Tu Hu, observing Fang Bai’s reactions, knew that Fang Bai really didn’t hold any ill feelings against him, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief internally.

With Fang Bai’s extraordinary talent and the infinite possibilities on his Martial Dao path, Tu Hu did not want to make an enemy of Fang Bai.

"So now, let’s have a duel over the ownership of these Antlered Silver Lion corpses. If I lose, you can take all their antlers and the few pieces of Spiritual Medicine we’ve harvested. We will have no complaints!"

"I’ll do the same! If I lose, the Antlered Silver Lions are still yours, and we won’t touch them again. Moreover, any Spiritual Medicine we’ve harvested will also belong to you!" proclaimed Tu Hu, thumping his chest.
