Chapter 368: Chapter 368: An Tian’s Second Challenge

"What would I be looking for you for? Of course it’s to have you help me arrange a meeting with Tang Ming, I want to challenge him again."

An Tian said with a fighting spirit surging:

"Last time I was defeated by him, I went back and rigorously practiced my cultivation, and now my cultivation has greatly increased, I can definitely beat him. Help me get him out here."

"You want to fight again?"

Ma Gangjian let out a sigh of relief, but then he became troubled again. Now the entire Ma Family revolves around Tang Ming, and he didn’t dare to easily arrange a meeting with Tang Ming.

"Of course, I, An Tian, never admit defeat. I lost last time, and this time I must win it back!" An Tian said with a resolute tone.

"Er... What strength are you at now?"

Ma Gangjian asked weakly. He already knew that Tang Ming was a martial master, and if An Tian wasn’t at the level of a martial master, he would just directly advise the other party to give up.

"Don’t worry about what strength I have, I can definitely beat him now." An Tian was brimming with confidence, seeing Ma Gangjian’s lack of enthusiasm, he immediately threatened coldly:

"If you don’t help me arrange a meeting with Tang Ming, I can only challenge you."

Hearing this, Ma Gangjian nearly knelt down. Back then, An Tian was many times stronger than him, and if they really fought, he would definitely be thrashed.

"I, I’ll make a phone call to my brother first, to have him ask Tang Ming at school."

Ma Gangjian helplessly took out his phone and dialed Ma Gangqiang’s number.

In the car, after listening to Ma Gangjian’s explanation, Ma Gangqiang immediately rejoiced and whispered:

"Big brother, you don’t have to worry anymore, Tang Ming is right in my car, and we will be home soon. Tell An Tian to get ready."

"What is Tang Ming doing in your car? Did he hit you again?"

Ma Gangjian asked with surprise and suspicion.

"That’s not the case, he has something to discuss with Grandpa. Just wait, and you won’t have to trouble yourself!"

Ma Gangqiang said and then hung up the phone.

"Ahem, Ming, An Tian has come looking for you."

Putting down the phone, Ma Gangqiang said weakly.

"Who is An Tian?" Tang Ming asked nonchalantly with his eyes closed.

Ma Gangqiang opened his mouth, thinking bitterly:

"Both of us brothers have been deeply impressed by the beatings from An Tian, and this guy actually doesn’t remember who An Tian is. That’s the difference."

"It’s that expert who wanted to challenge you before, now he is also at the Ma Family. If you don’t feel like fighting, let’s go to the Ma Family some other day?" Ma Gangqiang suggested weakly.

"Tsk, why would I be afraid of him?" Tang Ming snorted disdainfully.

"First I’ll beat him up, and then I’ll go find your grandfather. It won’t take too much time."

"Alright then!"

Ma Gangqiang nodded and continued driving helplessly.

When Tang Ming and Ma Gangqiang arrived at the entrance of the Ma Family, An Tian, dressed in white, had been waiting on the steps outside the door for a long time.

An Tian stood straight, a strong aura formed around him, his eyes bright and staring like lightning at Tang Ming who was getting out of the car.

"He is An Tian," Ma Gangqiang pointed at An Tian and quickly ran to Ma Gangjian’s side after a brief introduction.

"Tang Ming, we meet again!" An Tian stared at Tang Ming with a battle-ready spirit:

"This time I will definitely defeat you."

"Seems a bit familiar." Tang Ming glanced at An Tian lazily.

"If you want to fight, let’s do it quickly. I’ve got other things to do."

"Still as arrogant as before, take this."

An Tian roared angrily, releasing a thin layer of Gang Qi around his body.

"Martial master?" Tang Ming’s eyes lit up, and his spirit was invigorated.

"Damn, this guy has already broken through to the martial master?"

Ma Gangjian exclaimed in disbelief.

"How come martial masters are becoming so worthless now, and each younger than the last?" Ma Gangqiang felt utterly defeated and helplessly said,

"I guess I should just focus on studying. Compared to them, what’s the point of my training?"

"Tang Ming, I’ve broken through to martial master. Let’s see how you can win against me now?"

After summoning his Gang Qi, An Tian stomped on the ground fiercely and pounced on Tang Ming like a cheetah.

"What a pity, just a primary martial master not even stable at one-star!"

Watching An Tian’s movements, Tang Ming shook his head in disappointment, spread his legs apart, bent slightly at the knees, and then...

Just as An Tian’s fist was about to hit Tang Ming, Tang Ming, lightning-fast, raised his fist wrapped in black Gang Qi to clash with it forcefully.

"Bang!" An Tian’s body was sent flying backward, his Gang Qi burst out in disarray, and after steadying himself, his entire right arm was numb.

"You actually..." After stabilizing his form, An Tian stared at Tang Ming in disbelief.

"Hehe, Gang Qi isn’t meant to be used like that."

Tang Ming shook his fists and said playfully, "You’re not my match; you’re a level below me."

An Tian’s expression flickered as he looked at Tang Ming, eventually letting out a resigned sigh,

"I lost."

"Huh?" Ma Gangqiang and Ma Gangjian exchanged baffled glances. The fight had ended too quickly, and they hadn’t even seen how impressive Tang Ming was. Why had An Tian, at the Martial Master Realm, conceded defeat?

"Big brother, is Tang Ming stronger now than when he dueled with Grandpa?"

After recovering from his shock, Ma Gangqiang uncertainly turned to Ma Gangjian.

"Seems like it, right? But he doesn’t have any Gang Qi on him, so how did he beat An Tian?"

Ma Gangjian murmured with a frown.

"Your cultivation progress is already considered very swift; it’s just a pity that you’re still a bit behind me," Tang Ming said with his hands clasped behind his back as he strode toward the courtyard.

"I give up. I always thought I was a martial arts prodigy, but it turns out you’re cultivating much faster than me."

An Tian conceded passage to Tang Ming and said with renewed determination, "However, I won’t give up. One day, I’ll be sure to defeat you."

"Perhaps you will, I’ll be waiting," Tang Ming said with a light smile, passing by An Tian and heading inside.

It wasn’t until they were out of sight that Ma Gangjian realized, "Oh no, the Divine Doctor is treating Grandpa."

Just as the Ma brothers hurriedly followed, it was too late...

In old Master Ma Tong’s room, under the anxious gaze of Ma Benyue, the Divine Doctor conducted a thorough physical examination on Ma Tong.

"Divine Doctor, how is my father’s condition? Can you cure his poison?"

After a long while, as soon as the Divine Doctor finished his examination, Ma Benyue anxiously asked.

"Sigh," the Divine Doctor shook his head and sighed.

"Divine Brother, we’ve known each other for so many years. Whatever it is, just tell me,"

Ma Tong propped himself up and looked calmly at the Divine Doctor.

"Then I’ll speak frankly. This old poison has already merged with the True Qi and Gang Qi in your body. The reason it went undetected for so long is that the poison was nourished by the True Qi and Gang Qi, allowing your meridians to adapt to the toxicity," the Divine Doctor stroked his beard and spoke leisurely,

"However, as you’ve aged and your strength has declined, your body’s ability to resist the poison has weakened. As your own energy lessens and the poison grows, it has begun to flare up. The poison has been in you for too many years and was stimulated too fiercely, leaving me with no recourse."

"No, it can’t be, aren’t you the Divine Doctor? Is there really nothing you can do?"

Ma Benyue’s face turned pale as he stared at the Divine Doctor.
