Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 101 - 101 100 Almost_1

101: Chapter 100 Almost_1 101: Chapter 100 Almost_1 Lu Chuan arrived at the back yard, found a secluded corner, sat cross-legged, and took out the hundred-year ginseng from the brocade box.

Feeling the tremendous medicinal power contained within the ginseng, Lu Chuan became excited.

“Although refining this hundred-year ginseng into an elixir pill would better unleash its effects, the auxiliary medicinal herbs required for refining a hundred-year medicinal herb are even more precious, and the difficulty of refining increases with the elixir pill’s grade.

A single mistake could lead to failure, and I have only this one hundred-year medicinal herb, which cannot withstand such risks, so I might as well just eat it raw.”

The potency of a hundred-year medicinal herb was incomparable to that of a fifty-year herb, even if consumed raw, it was enough to help Lu Chuan make a breakthrough.

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan opened his mouth and bit into the hundred-year ginseng, consuming the entire root within a few bites.

Soon, his limbs and bones began to feel warm, as the medicinal power of the hundred-year ginseng had already dispersed into his body.

He immediately began to circulate his cultivation method, breathing in and out as he rapidly absorbed the medicinal power of the hundred-year ginseng.

In the living room.

Jiang Hai paced back and forth, visibly anxious.

At this moment, a servant ran over and said, “Family Head, Miracle Doctor Lu is sitting in the back yard.

He ate a ginseng and seems to be practicing Qi Cultivation.”

Jiang Hai frowned, “What good is his cultivation at this time?

Does he really think that a last-minute effort will be enough to overcome Wu Wei who has already reached Grade 8?”

Jiang Lingshan’s eyes rotated as she said, “Dad, didn’t you always say that the older the medicinal herb, the greater the help it adds to a martial artist?

Miracle Doctor Lu spent a fortune to buy that hundred-year ginseng, and now he ate it.

Do you think he’s planning to make a breakthrough right before the battle?”

Jiang Hai’s brows furrowed deeper, “Although you said you dealt with Wu Xiu in just a few moves, and your strength is strong, at his age, even with an exceptional talent, it’s impossible for him to have reached Grade 8 Grandmaster level.

Even if he can make a breakthrough now, he couldn’t possibly be Wu Wei’s opponent!”

Wang Chunhua sighed and said, “It’s too late for anything now; we should quickly think about how to deal with Wu Wei when he comes knocking.”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hai made up his mind and said, “Miracle Doctor Lu has shown great kindness to our Jiang family.

Now that he has made enemies with the Wu family, it is time for us to repay our debt.

If the Wu family really comes knocking, we must do everything in our power to protect Miracle Doctor Lu.”

Wang Chunhua hesitated slightly, “But…”

Jiang Hai interrupted her decisively, “No buts.

If it weren’t for Miracle Doctor Lu, our daughter might no longer be with us, so we absolutely cannot stand by and do nothing!”

Convinced by his words, Wang Chunhua nodded and said, “Okay, let’s do as you say.”

Jiang Lingshan’s eyes also revealed a touch of determination; though she didn’t speak, her stance was clear.

Eight o’clock in the evening.

The living room of the Jiang family was filled with numerous seasoned experts.

They were friends or patrons of Jiang Hai, each of them formidable.

However, the atmosphere in the living room was tense, as they knew that they were about to face off against Wu Wei, known as the number one expert of Tianhai City.

A Grade 8 Grandmaster was a formidable force not to be taken lightly anywhere, especially in Tianhai City where the Martial Path wasn’t as developed as in Cloud City.

Here, a Grade 8 could dominate unchecked.

As everyone was silent, a sudden fierce shout, like thunder, resounded in everyone’s ears.

“You dog bastard surnamed Lu!

Get the hell out here!”

Everyone tensed up instantly, then rose from their seats and headed toward the front yard.

Jiang Hai walked at the forefront.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw the irate Wu Wei.

He was dressed in practice clothes, his hair considerably whiter, with a hawk-like nose and an ominous gleam in his eyes; his fury made him all the more terrifying.

Wu Xiu sat in a wheelchair, pushed by several people.

He looked rather pitiful but there was excitement in his eyes, as if his chance for revenge was close at hand.

“Wu Wei, your son’s condition is entirely his own fault and has nothing to do with Lu Chuan.

You can’t just interfere because your son lost the fight.

Give me some face and let’s not pursue this matter any further,” Jiang Hai said.

Wu Wei cursed loudly, “Bullshit!

My son was beaten like this, and if I don’t stand up for him, won’t everyone feel they can bully my son in the future?”

“Don’t play the good guy here.

Hurry up and hand over that kid surnamed Lu.

If you do, I won’t hold it against your Jiang family.

Otherwise, you can’t blame me for not showing any mercy!”

Jiang Hai furrowed his brow, “Are you really going to burn bridges with my Jiang family?”

Wu Wei snorted, “Your Jiang family indeed has some clout in Tianhai City, but as a martial artist, if I don’t seek revenge for my son because of your interference, how can I face being a father?”

“I’m laying it out here today.

Even if I have to fall out with your Jiang family, I am determined to avenge my son!”

Jiang Hai sighed, “Then you might want to ask whether my friends here agree or not!”

A group of experts immediately stood in Wu Wei’s way.

Wu Wei squinted his eyes and spat on the ground, “A bunch of lousy fish and shrimp want to stop me?

What a joke!”

As soon as his words fell, he dashed out.

Despite their numbers and collective resistance, they were no match for a Grade 8 Grandmaster like Wu Wei.

In just over a dozen moves, three or four people were already lying on the ground.

Seeing Wu Wei’s formidable strength, everyone was hesitant to step forward, their foreheads breaking out in cold sweat.

Wu Wei sneered and then walked over to one of the men lying on the ground, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him from the ground.

“Tell me where that kid is or I’ll break your neck right now!”

The man’s face turned red from being strangled and looked close to death before he reluctantly pointed towards the back yard, “He…

he’s in the back yard…”

Wu Wei tossed the man to the ground and turned towards the back courtyard, completely ignoring everyone else.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hai jumped anxiously and hurriedly shouted, “Wu Wei, you can’t go over there!”

Wu Wei didn’t pay any attention to him; at this moment, all he wanted was to kill Lu Chuan and vent his son’s anger.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Wu Xiu revealed a silly grin, “Hehe, my dad is going to avenge me, Lu Chuan, that bastard, is going to be unlucky!”

“Quick, push me over there; I want to watch with my own eyes as this dog gets dealt with by my dad!”

Several people immediately pushed Wu Xiu towards the back courtyard.

With no other choice, Jiang Hai and the others could only follow and rushed to the back courtyard.

“At this point, we can only hope that Lu Chuan is lucky enough to fend for himself,” Jiang Hai muttered to himself.

In the back courtyard, Lu Chuan was surrounded by thick Spiritual Energy constantly flowing into his body.

His aura had already elevated several levels and was far beyond what it was before.

Just a short time ago, he had successfully broken through to Qi Cultivation Level 8!

The effects of the hundred-year ginseng had not yet been fully consumed, and he was currently pushing towards Qi Cultivation Level 9, and had already firmly stabilized his realm at the peak of Level 8!

He tentatively felt the threshold of Qi Cultivation Level 9 and based on his estimation, with the power of the hundred-year ginseng, he didn’t foresee much difficulty in breaking through to Level 9 today.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan got excited.

Reaching Qi Cultivation Level 8, he could easily suppress a Martial Arts Grandmaster two realms lower; below Grade 8, no one would be his match.

And once he broke through to Level 9, he would have enough confidence to face Long Hao.

Just then, Wu Wei walked over aggressively, cursing, “You little bastard, so you’re hiding here; get over here and face your death!”

Without hesitating, he leaped towards Lu Chuan with a kick.

Lu Chuan, who was still striving for a breakthrough, instantly sensed the crisis.

His brow furrowed, and he forcefully exited the breakthrough state, swiftly dodging Wu Wei’s attack.

Seeing this, Wu Wei continued his assault on Lu Chuan.

“Didn’t think you had some skill.

But I want to see how many moves you can handle from me!”

Jiang Hai and the others arrived and upon seeing the two fight, they couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh.

“Looking at Wu Wei’s manner, it’s clear he’s intent on killing.

This kid probably won’t last long.”

“The whole Tianhai City knows not to mess with Wu Wei, yet he went and provoked this madman’s son; such folly!”

…

Wu Xiu’s face was filled with excitement, “This kid is definitely no match for my dad; he’ll soon be beaten into a cripple by him.

Then, I’ll make his life worse than death!”

The people around him buzzed with various discussions.

At this moment, Lu Chuan was consumed with anger.

If a breakthrough state is disrupted, trying to re-enter it is as hard as ascending to heaven.

He wasn’t able to use the hundred-year ginseng this time to successfully break through to Level 9.

The remaining power in his body was not enough to support another attempt.

He would have to find another hundred-year ginseng or another source with potent power to attempt another breakthrough.

This meant Wu Wei had caused Lu Chuan to miss the best opportunity to reach Level 9, which should have been achievable in one go.

Now, he would have to seek another breakthrough opportunity.

Lu Chuan’s eyes blazed with fury as he looked at Wu Wei, filled with murderous intent, and couldn’t help but curse explosive: “Damn it!

Who the hell are you to interrupt my breakthrough?”

Wu Wei coldly responded, “Wu Xiu is my son.

You crippled him, so I’m here to seek revenge on his behalf!”

Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes, glanced at Wu Xiu, who was not far away in the wheelchair, and immediately understood the situation.

The anger in his heart rose continuously, the aura of Qi Cultivation Level 8 enveloping the entire estate; thunder even resounded in the air.

So close!

He was so close to breaking through to Level 9!

“You old bastard, you ruined my chance and now you want revenge?

If I don’t let you and your son taste the bitterness of regret today, I don’t deserve the Lu surname!”

Lu Chuan, surrounded by whirling Spiritual Energy, stared at Wu Wei and said, “It was you who came looking for death, so don’t blame me for being merciless!”

Wu Wei laughed loudly, “Kid, you’re on death’s door; no need to play tough guy here!”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly, his body shot out with a bang, like a cannonball.

The previously confident Wu Wei’s pupils suddenly shrank, a feeling of unease rising in his heart.

He was completely unable to capture Lu Chuan’s figure!

The speed of this guy had surpassed the limits of his comprehension!

“This…”

The people present didn’t understand what was happening but felt an oppressive force that made their hearts skip a beat.

“It’s really strange; I suddenly feel chilly all over, goosebumps rising on my skin, and there’s this hair-raising feeling in my heart, it’s really freaking me out!” a Grade 4 Grandmaster murmured to himself.
