C11 Guu Tianxiong

"I don't think the Gu family has anyone by that name. And from what I understand, Ye Luo was involved in a brawl at Guu Tianxiong's Supreme Elite Club today. It seems that Liu Kun's hand was injured by him," the middle-aged man said.

"Is that so?" Ziyuan's smile grew even wider. "I can't believe there's someone like that at Linhai University. How have I never noticed him before? Uncle Feng, please do some more digging and see what else you can find out about him."

"Miss, this Ye Luo is not an average individual. He's got impressive skills, but he's too high-profile and seems to like causing trouble. People like that don't tend to last long, so it's best to avoid him. Besides, you've been away from the family for too long. It's time to go back," he cautioned.

At this, Ziyuan's expression changed slightly, and her smile disappeared instantly. "I know what to do."

...

Ye Luo sat in the Land Rover for half an hour with his eyes closed, appearing to rest. In reality, he was practicing the Nine Heavens Reincarnation Art.

In just half a day, Ye Luo had significantly increased his strength to the late Houtian stage.

At this stage, a punch would typically exert a force of 2000 kg. However, Ye Luo felt that his punches were now delivering at least 4000 kg of force, perhaps even more, and using this power felt incredibly natural.

"The Nine Heavens Reincarnation Art is truly powerful," Ye Luo thought to himself.

In his previous life, the cultivation technique he practiced was strong, usually making him around twenty percent more powerful than others at the same level.

But the Nine Heavens Reincarnation Art was more than just a twenty percent improvement—it doubled his strength.

With his current level of ability, Ye Luo was confident that he could incapacitate another late Houtian expert with a single punch, or even kill them outright. He also felt he could compete with someone in the Early Period of the Innate Stage.

Of course, taking on someone in the Late Period of the Innate Stage would be a real challenge.

However, Ye Luo wasn't getting ahead of himself. He knew that the Houtian realm was merely the level of an ordinary person and that even the Xiantian realm was just the threshold for a true Martial Cultivator. The real journey began with the cultivation of Genuine Qi. Moreover, he was aware that the further one advanced in cultivation, the more difficult it became. Ye Luo understood that his current advantage might soon fade.

The Land Rover stopped in front of the grand gates of a sprawling estate. Under Liu Kun's guidance, Ye Luo approached the manor with ease, having visited it in his previous life and likely knowing it even better than Liu Kun and his entourage.

Inside, Liu Kun and his men led Ye Luo through the lavish estate, which never failed to impress even the well-traveled Liu Kun. However, Ye Luo remained unfazed by the extravagant surroundings. The opulence that surrounded him held no appeal, his gaze instead lingering on several striking maids with long legs and slender waists. This wasn't a display of pretentiousness; in his former life, Ye Luo had lived for over a thousand years and ascended to the half-step Sovereign level, leaving him indifferent to such worldly treasures.

They quickly arrived at a room on the third floor. Ye Luo knew it to be Guu Tianxiong's private clinic, a place reserved for his most trusted confidants and closest associates.

Just as Ye Luo and Liu Kun were about to step inside, they were stopped by a stranger.

"Who are you, and where is Master Guu?" Liu Kun inquired, clearly surprised.

"Mr. Gu is receiving treatment from my master, and you must not interrupt," the young man stated arrogantly.

"Your master is attending to Master Guu?" Liu Kun raised an eyebrow, visibly surprised.

"Yes, the esteemed healer Mr. Xie Quanzhang has just returned from abroad. I've summoned him to treat Master Guu," a middle-aged woman explained.

Upon seeing the woman, Liu Kun's expression turned respectful; she was Master Guu's wife, a figure whose influence rivaled that of Master Guu himself.

"Xie Quanzhang?" Ye Luo pondered for a moment, recalling the name from his past life. Due to someone he knew, he had delved into the world of medicine and had indeed heard of Xie Quanzhang.

"If you need something, please wait a moment. Let Mr. Xie finish the treatment first," the elderly Mrs. Guu instructed.

Liu Kun offered a smile to Ye Luo, signaling to wait.

Ye Luo nodded and moved aside, finding a window that allowed him to observe the ongoing treatment inside the room. He paused, watching intently, but soon his expression turned grave.

"This can't continue. If he goes on like this, Guu Tianxiong's spine will be permanently damaged!" Ye Luo suddenly exclaimed, startling everyone present.

Without paying heed to their reactions, Ye Luo moved to open the treatment room door, only to be blocked by a young man.

"During treatment, my master must not be disturbed!" the young man said angrily.

"Disturbed? If he keeps this up, the patient will be ruined. Get out of the way," Ye Luo replied, clearly annoyed.

"How dare you insult my master's medical skills? Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude," the young man retorted, his anger evident as a powerful aura emanated from him.

Ye Luo and Liu Kun were both taken aback, especially Liu Kun, who felt a sense of danger emanating from the young man.

"I'll say it once more, if you dare to interrupt my master's lifesaving efforts, I'll make you regret it!" the young man threatened, his presence dominating.

"Late Period of the Innate Stage, quite impressive for someone so young," Ye Luo thought to himself, recognizing that the young man's hostility was likely due to his arrogance, fueled by his abilities.

The woman nearby shot an angry look at Ye Luo, and he could sense that people in the next room were eyeing him, ready to intervene at any moment.

Nevertheless, Ye Luo didn't hesitate and stepped forward to push the door open.

As the young man approached Ye Luo, he threw a punch directly at Ye Luo's waist. The waist is a vulnerable spot on a person's body, and a hit there can easily cause someone to collapse or even sustain an injury. The young man was confident that Ye Luo would dodge, and as soon as Ye Luo moved to evade, he was ready to grab Ye Luo's shoulder with his other hand and throw him out. However, as his fist neared its target, Ye Luo showed no sign of reacting.

"He must be an ordinary person, too slow to even dodge," the young man thought to himself. If that was the case, then there was no need to hold back. This punch would be enough to keep Ye Luo down for good, saving him the trouble of a follow-up move.

"Be careful," Liu Kun warned from the side.

The punch only caused Ye Luo minor discomfort, similar to an ordinary person accidentally bumping into a table.

"Eh?" The young man was surprised. Ye Luo hadn't been sent flying, nor had he made a sound of pain.

"Your aim is decent, but you're lacking in speed and power. You need more practice," Ye Luo said before spinning around and delivering his own punch to the young man's waist acupoint.

"Ah!"

The young man grunted as he was propelled backward, only coming to a halt when he crashed into a wall seven or eight meters away.
