Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, the Fang family father and son, along with Xu Boren, were all momentarily stunned.

That was indeed their intention. They all harbored a sliver of doubt about Jiang Chen's medical skills and had wanted Xu Boren to take Jiang Chen down a peg. However, they hadn't expected Jiang Chen to call them out on it so directly.

"Are you saying you're better than me?" Xu Boren stared straight into Jiang Chen's eyes.

Jiang Chen gave a faint smile, "If you want to make a move, I can indulge you in a little spar."

"Good!"

With a loud shout, Xu Boren stood up and looked at Jiang Chen, "It's been a long time since a junior has dared to speak to me like this. Today, I will measure your true strength. I heard you defeated my second disciple, Zhao Changsen, and even sent him to the hospital. Today, I will teach you a lesson for him!"

"Junior, are you ready?"

With those words, Xu Boren stepped forward to face Jiang Chen, looking at him arrogantly.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Fighting you, I don't need any special preparation."

"You... Arrogant!" Xu Boren bellowed angrily, his figure flashed as he rushed towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's eyes slightly narrowed, watching Xu Boren's figure intently.

Whoosh!

The sound of cutting through the air arose as Xu Boren closed in on Jiang Chen, throwing a fierce punch at Jiang Chen's abdomen. Xu Boren might have had his doubts about Jiang Chen's ability to cure Fang Wenzheng's illness, but since it was a chance for healing, he didn't plan on being too harsh. His aim was just to teach Jiang Chen a lesson, to suppress Jiang Chen's sharp edge, but, unfortunately for him, his plan was about to go awry!

Smack!

With a crisp sound, Jiang Chen, with one hand shaped like a palm, blocked Xu Boren's assault and said with a light smile, "Just like this, you won't be able to teach me a lesson."

Xu Boren's eyes widened, a fierce glint flashing in them as he thought, since you're so ungrateful, then you deserve a taste of bitterness.

He had only used a fraction of his strength before, but now, Xu Boren gathered all his force, intending to drive his fist past Jiang Chen's palm and hit him squarely.

But, with this effort, he didn't move an inch!

"What?"

Xu Boren exclaimed in surprise as Jiang Chen's palm seemed like an unmovable mountain, unshaken by his forceful attempt.

"How... How is this possible?" Xu Boren looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Jiang Chen said calmly, "In martial arts, the most skilled acts first. Does Mr. Xu still think I need to grovel before you?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Chen pushed hard with his palm.

Whoosh!

Xu Boren was sent flying backward by the push, stumbling several steps upon landing!

"What?"

"This..."

"Grandpa Xu was defeated?"

Three voices of shock rang out as Fang Wenzheng and the others looked at Jiang Chen with faces full of astonishment.

They could hardly believe it—the young Jiang Chen had so effortlessly defeated Xu Boren?

How could this be?!

"Grandpa, I've found the Divine Doctor!" Just then, a shout rang out.

Following that, a young man came rushing into the courtyard with an old man whose hair and beard were both white: "Grandpa, Director Chen took me to find Divine Doctor Wu Mingzhong from Jincheng, your injury can be cured now!"

Only then did the young man notice Jiang Chen standing in the courtyard. After taking a glance at Jiang Chen, the young man curled his lip and turned to Fang Yujie: "Sis, you can't be serious. This isn't the Mr. Jiang you called in, is he? Judging by his appearance, he's nothing but boy-toy material. Have you taken a fancy to him? Sis, we can't take Grandpa's illness lightly. You brought in a pretty boy to..."

As the young man kept calling out "pretty boy," Jiang Chen slightly frowned and suddenly made a claw gesture with one hand, making a scooping motion toward the ground.

Whoosh! A willow leaf flew into Jiang Chen's hand. With a flick, the leaf shot straight toward the young man.

"Mr. Jiang!" Fang Yujie called out, yet she wasn't anxious, a willow leaf not being something she thought Jiang Chen would use for whatever reason; she had not seen how Jiang Chen retrieved the leaf.

Fang Yujie missed it, but Xu Boren saw it and his heart violently shook with a guess, his gaze fixed on the willow leaf thrown by Jiang Chen!

Hum!

Swish!

Just at that moment, a fly buzzed past the young man's face. Before he could react, the willow leaf thrown by Jiang Chen flew by, and the fly was instantly split in two!

"Holy shit! What, what just happened?"

The young man's face turned pale with fright, stepping back in a panic.

"An Innate Grandmaster?!" Xu Boren's expression drastically changed as he called out in alarm.

Fang Zhenggang and Fang Wenzheng sprang from their stone seats, staring at Jiang Chen with faces full of shock.

Fang Yujie was simply stupefied, her eyes filling with disbelief as she looked at Jiang Chen.

The young man glanced at Fang Wenzheng and the others, looked down at the fly sliced in two, then raised his head to look at Jiang Chen, his heart trembling fiercely as cold sweat instantly poured out.

"Do I really look like a pretty boy?" Jiang Chen asked the young man coldly.

"No, no, no, I mean... uh..." The young man was stumbling over his words, at a loss for what to do. Having trained with Fang Zhenggang since childhood, he had heard countless legends about Innate Grandmasters and even fantasized about meeting one someday. But he hadn't expected that his first encounter with an Innate Grandmaster would begin by offending one.

By now, the young man's face was ghastly white, and he was too flustered to speak.

"Mr. Jiang, it was my boy's disrespect. I ask for your great kindness to not take offense at a child's ignorance!" Fang Zhenggang was panicked, hurriedly bowing deeply to Jiang Chen.

This was a legendary Innate Grandmaster, right? Inner Qi projected onto a willow leaf, turning the leaf into a deadly blade. Only an Innate Grandmaster could accomplish such a feat.

The wrath of someone with Innate power could turn rivers red with blood!

If Mr. Jiang were to kill them on the spot today, they would die in vain, as the Martial Alliance wouldn't offend an Innate Grandmaster for their sake, and mundane laws couldn't touch someone of his caliber!

Seeing the young man still standing there dazed, Fang Zhenggang's expression changed as he shouted: "Yu Qiang, what are you frozen there for? Apologize to Mr. Jiang this instant."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Mr. Jiang, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Fang Yuqiang shivered and quickly bowed to the ground in front of Jiang Chen, repeatedly apologizing.

Jiang Chen said indifferently, "Alright, I came here only to treat Elder Fang today, not to stir up all this fuss."

With a snort, Jiang Chen strode over to sit on a bench by the stone table to the south. Seeing Jiang Chen sit down, Fang Wenzheng and the others quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

"To treat an illness?" Fang Yuqiang blinked, glanced at Wu Mingzhong standing beside him, and seemed unsure what to say.

Wu Mingzhong understood Fang Yuqiang's concern and stepped forward beside the stone table to speak lightly: "Originally, I owed Director Chen a favor, and I came here at his invitation to repay that debt. This young brother may possess incredible martial strength, which I know little about, but when it comes to medical skills, in all my life, only Ye Yang from Jinhai has ever impressed me."

"Ye Yang?"

Jiang Chen laughed.
