In a certain courtyard, someone was sitting cross-legged quietly in meditation before a voice suddenly interrupted him.
"Young master!"
"What is it? It's better a useful information; otherwise, you would have to bear the consequences." The meditating man spoke as he opened his eyes.
"It's like this; I heard there was someone on the outer yard who dared to ridicule you." The servant hurriedly explained.
"What are you surprised about? It's just something normal; if you disturb me just to report this, then you can go receive your punishment."
The servant then noticed his wrong phrasing. After all, his young master was not the only one from a prominent family, and it was normal for other young masters to ridicule or mock him.
"What I mean is that there was a new disciple who dared to ridicule you." The servant corrected his words.
"A new disciple dares to ridicule me?" The young master said with surprise.
Usually the only one who would mock one another was that of the same cultivation realm, but would a new disciple dare ridicule him? One must know that new disciples usually only had cultivation of level 2 or level 3 Qi Condensation at this time.
"What is his name?"
"His name is Wei Fang."
"Wei Fang...I seem to have heard this name before."
"You ordered one of your followers to teach him a lesson a month ago."
"Oh, I remember now. Isn't he the one who ignored my request and gave the jade pendant to sister Cheng Lin directly?"
"Yes, he was."
"It seems his lesson is not hard enough." The young master smiled dangerously. He hated it the most when someone who was beneath him kept challenging him without knowing their place. "Do as usual."
"Yes, young master."

Wei Fang came out of the healing department after some time.
Actually, he wanted to come out earlier, but he didn't think senior sister Zhu Ju would be quite nagging, asking this and that, and only after he answered all of her questions did she let him go.
He looked at his system interface. [Time remaining: 9:30:49]
As he walked, he also remembered his state when he was fighting with Chen Bao before. It was not the first time he liked that; he also experienced it when he trained the raging fist before.
"System-sama, do you know what happened?" In the end, he decided to ask the system because he felt the system would know.
[It was your special ability.]
"Special ability?" He was confused; this was the first time he had heard it.
[Yes, in this world, there were many people who were born with extraordinary things; there was a special physique, a special meridian, a special body, and a special ability. And in the case of the host, it was a special ability.]
So I am special after all. Wei Fang mused.
[Yes, the host is special, so the system suggested the host to properly train his special ability. Special ability without proper use is just like a decorative sword.]
Right. Wei Fang agrees with the system. But the question was, how to train it? He didn't even know how to properly activate it.
Right! The system.
[The system didn't have any obligation to tell the host how to train it.]
I know it.
After he felt that he was already far enough from the healing department, he straightened his back, which made his injury worse. But he just gritted his teeth and continued walking without showing any of it on his face.
He continued walking like that until he arrived in front of a courtyard.
That was the second target of his today, Lin Rong's courtyard.
"Lin Rong, I know you are inside; I Wei Fang challenged you into a duel!"
As soon as Wei Fang said it, many people gasped in amazement.
"Didn't he get injured just a while ago?"
"Is he insane? Challenging someone while injured."
"Wait, he didn't appear injured at all. Is his injury healed already? But it was impossible unless he had high-grade medicine."
"Yes, you're right; an injury like that would need at least a week, even with the highest-grade medicine the sect sold."
"Then, do you think he has a high-grade healing medicine? He also seems to have been badly injured before when he dueled with Cheng Hu, but isn't he also fine in the evening?"
"Now that you mentioned it, his hand was pretty scary back then; it was cracked and blood kept oozing out from the crack; even me, who was only watching back then, felt scared."
"Yes, you're right; maybe he really had high-level healing medicine."
As the crowd reached the conclusion that Wei Fang owned high-grade healing medicine, some people's eyes flashed with greed.
Any medicine that was high-grade was a precious one, let alone healing medicine that can save lives. It would become more expensive if you sold it to someone who needed it.
"I seemed to recall seeing him come out of Elder Zhao's room yesterday." One person suddenly said,.
"What?" The crowd's attention was drawn to him instantly.
"Yes, yesterday I was doing tasks in the alchemy hall and saw him coming out of Elder Zhao's room."
"Ooh!"
The crowd suddenly became disappointed. If it was Wei Fang who had the medicine, then there was a chance for them to get it, but now that it involved an elder, there was no way they could get their hands on it.
Wei Fang, who was still shouting at the door, didn't know that he just avoided disaster because of the deal he made with Zhu Ju.
But deep inside, Wei Fang was cursing. Every time he shouted, his stomach would contract and then expand. He didn't know how much worse his injury had become.
Meanwhile, inside the courtyard, Lin Rong was also in distress. He already heard what happened in the morning, so he was hesitant to come out; he didn't want to end up like Chen Bao.
But if he didn't come out, Wei Fang—that fearless man—would likely start to ridicule Lin Yan, forcing him to appear.
In the end, he thought it was better for him to come out now than later.
Wei Fang was delighted when he saw Lin Rong come out; if he waited for him to shout more, he would likely end up fainting due to pain.
"Alright, I accept your challenge!" Said Lin Rong.
"Receive my attack!" He said as he pounced towards Wei Fang.
Wei Fang was serious; he already decided to end the fight fast, so he decided to go all out from the get-go, even if it meant sacrificing his two poor hands.
Like always, he slapped Lin Rong's punch to the side and prepared his next full-powered attack.
Just as he was about to use his fly-swatting palm at full power, he suddenly stopped.
"I surrender!"
Lin Rong surrendered, which made him dumbfounded.
"You surrendered?" He was in disbelief.
"Yes, I admitted dedeat."
Lin Rong didn't feel ashamed at all when he admitted defeat. Just look at the state Cheng Hu and Chen Bao ended up in.
Rather than end up defeated after being slapped until you become black and blue or have your ball slapped, it would be better to admit defeat early.
He attacked just now to test whether Wei Fang was still injured or not, and from the force and speed of his hand, he didn't feel any different at all, which is why he surrendered.
But he didn't know that Wei Fang's technique only needed his hand to be executed, so even if the rest of his body was injured, there would still be no problem with his hand speed and strength.
Just as Wei Fang was confused about what to do to complete the mission, he saw the system notification, which made him relieved.
[Mission completed.]
