The streets were filled with laughter.
After agreeing on a time and place for the duel, the group left while laughing.
"What an idiot!" They laughed, treating it as a joke.
Soon, the news spread.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that the recently popular Tang Ritian was actually a fake prodigy, and he had stolen the recipe of Cloudcore Valley.
The latter was unconfirmed, but the former was absolutely true. Tang Ritian did not have a master at all. His medicine-making skills were above average but were not spectacular.
The master medicine makers praised him earlier because of the recipe, not because of his skills.
For a moment, Tang Ritian's reputation plummeted.
"Damn, so he's a fake! I thought he was really amazing!"
"Maybe he really stole something from Cloudcore Valley!"
Then, an even more important piece of news came.
Tang Ritian actually challenged the Cloudcore Valley to a duel!
