Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Xiong Yingxiong

Fang Bai didn’t take a plane back to Yanjing this time; instead, he took an ordinary passenger train.

In Fang Bai’s words, taking the train brings one closer to the common folk and allows one to witness all facets of life, which is more beneficial for cultivating one’s state of mind.

An hour later, Fang Bai was already seated in the train compartment heading from Lingnan to Yanjing.

The train hadn’t started moving yet, and passengers with large and small bags continuously poured into the compartment. Holding their tickets, they searched for their seats; some called out to friends, causing a noisy and chaotic atmosphere throughout the space.

Seeing that there was still a while until the train’s departure, Fang Bai closed his eyes to meditate, secretly circulating the "Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique" cultivation technique and began to cultivate in the disorderly compartment.

Although he withdrew his senses during his practice, shutting out all external noise and entering a realm of self-forgetfulness, his consciousness was crystal clear, his divine sense extended, and every movement and breath of all the passengers on the train were within his control.

This was the marvelous use of divine sense, like a round-the-clock surveillance system without dead angles, able to control everything around him at any time, even Martial Artists several realms stronger than Fang Bai did not possess this magical ability.

Moments later, a young man took the seat next to Fang Bai.

This man, although ordinary, sparked great interest in Fang Bai.

Fang Bai’s divine sense could penetrate anything, and now, he didn’t need to physically "feel the bones" to assess a person’s physique. Just a sweep of his divine sense over someone’s body was enough to determine if they were of ordinary constitution or a Martial Dao genius suited for cultivation.

"It’s actually an Innate Fire Spirit Root!"

From the young man, Fang Bai sensed a trace of violent fire Qi, thus he ended his cultivation state and slowly opened his eyes to look at the young man beside him.

The young man seemed to be around twenty years old, carrying a black backpack, with thick brows and big eyes, a few pimples on his face, and dressed like a student returning to school.

"Hello, my surname is Xiong, and my name is Xiong Yingxiong!"

The young man had seen Fang Bai with closed eyes, seemingly resting, and hadn’t disturbed him, but seeing him open his eyes and look toward himself now, he smiled warmly and friendly, flashing two rows of white teeth, introducing himself while extending his hand to Fang Bai.

"Xiong Yingxiong? Haha, that’s an interesting name!"

Fang Bai smiled and shook hands with Xiong Yingxiong.

"Hehe... My dad picked the name! I didn’t have this name when I was little. I was often bullied by classmates in school and was nicknamed ’clumsy bear.’ My dad, furious, changed my name to what it is now. Dad hoped that I would grow up to be a hero... "

Xiong Yingxiong was an extremely talkative person, and once he started, he just kept going on and on.

"In the past few years, I spent two years at a Martial Arts School in Lingnan learning some boxing and kung fu. I grew stronger, and I became good at fighting, so nobody dared to bully me anymore! Hehe, last year I even helped the Lingnan police catch some pickpockets and received the ’Lingnan Righteous and Brave Good Citizen’ honorary title!"

Xiong Yingxiong grew more excited as he spoke until his voice was loud enough for everyone in the carriage to hear.

In the corner at the far end of the compartment on the north side, three skinny youths looked around shiftily, their gazes occasionally settling on Xiong Yingxiong, revealing a hint of malevolence.

Although those three scrawny youths were ordinary people, a faint whiff of blood lingered about them—they had clearly taken lives before, and when they looked at Xiong Yingxiong, a killing Qi surged forth.

The killing Qi, formless and shadowless, was of course not sensed by Xiong Yingxiong, but Fang Bai’s cultivation level had reached a realm so intricate that he could easily capture the fluctuation of emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.

Fang Bai glanced at the three slender youths, then solemnly said to Xiong Yingxiong, "Helping the police catch pickpockets is good, but pickpockets are organized, so you should be careful of retaliation from the accomplices of those you’ve caught!"

Xiong Yingxiong dismissed the concern with a scoff, "What’s there to fear? If they want to retaliate, let them. I’ll take on one if one comes, and if two come, I’ll take them both! Heh, it’s been a while since I’ve caught bad guys, my fists and feet are itching for a fight!"

Fang Bai shook his head with a smile, knowing that Xiong Yingxiong was in the prime of youth, and combined with his martial training and having helped the police before, felt overly confident and wouldn’t listen to his advice.

Nonetheless, since Xiong Yingxiong possessed an Innate Spiritual Root and was full of righteousness, there likely wasn’t a problem with his character. Therefore, Fang Bai felt an appreciation for talent and would help him if trouble arose and he was able to assist.

After a few more exchanges, Fang Bai discovered to his surprise that this rough-and-tumble youth was actually a student at Yanjing Medical University, majoring in traditional Chinese medicine, no less.

"Why study traditional Chinese medicine? It’s declining, and I’ve heard it’s hard for students who major in this field to find jobs after graduation!"

Fang Bai asked with interest.

Scratching his head, Xiong Yingxiong answered, "Because my dad is an old practitioner of Chinese medicine, and we have a clinic that’s been around for more than twenty years. My dad hopes that I can continue his legacy and expand the clinic!"

Xiong Yingxiong hit it off with Fang Bai, and upon learning that Fang Bai was interning at Yanjing Hospital and that his family also ran a Chinese medicine clinic, he immediately felt a closeness and, realizing Fang Bai was a few months older than him, started calling him "big brother" earnestly.

"Big brother, can I come to Yanjing Hospital to see you when I need medical care?"

Xiong Yingxiong asked jokingly.

Fang Bai replied, "No problem! Just mention my name when you arrive, and the hospital staff should offer you some convenience!"

Fang Bai wasn’t boasting; he was now a person of influence at Yanjing Hospital. Younger medical staff would respectfully call him "Teacher Fang" upon seeing him, and even the older staff would politely refer to him as "Doctor Fang."

If Xiong Yingxiong were to truly invoke Fang Bai’s name at Yanjing Hospital, the staff would undoubtedly treat him extremely well and prioritize his needs.

Of course, Xiong Yingxiong was unaware of these details. He assumed Fang Bai was just an intern doctor and wouldn’t hold much sway at Yanjing Hospital. Mentioning his name probably wouldn’t garner any attention when he went for medical care.

To Xiong Yingxiong, Fang Bai’s "boasting" didn’t really matter. He thought to himself that everyone loves face, and when people come together for a chat, doesn’t everyone brag a little? He had just been boasting about his own fighting skills a moment ago!

"Yanjing Hospital isn’t far from our school. I’ll come hang out with you when I have time!"

After getting Fang Bai’s mobile number, Xiong Yingxiong laughed and said.

Fang Bai nodded, "Anytime, welcome!"

A moment later, the train slowly started moving, and Fang Bai continued chatting with Xiong Yingxiong. Unbeknownst to them, their conversation drifted onto the subject of medical skills.
