Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1016: Liu Qingqing’s Challenge

Zhuang Zhi was over sixty years old, and although he appeared amiable and righteous on the surface, he was actually a lecherous creep with a keen interest in women. Despite Gao Shuxian’s utter dislike for him, she had to ingratiate herself with him as she needed his help.

What made Gao Shuxian grit her teeth in hate was that, although Zhuang Zhi had a liking for women, he wouldn’t easily let lust cloud his judgment. If a female disciple from the Martial Academy sought his help but couldn’t offer sufficient cultivation resources as a reward, he would demand that she cultivate with him physically.

While Zhuang Zhi’s demands were excessive, they were mutually agreed upon, and some female disciples, eager for his assistance, would only be able to embrace and submit to him.

Having understood the temperament of Zhuang Zhi, Gao Shuxian knew that it was impossible to get him to do her bidding without some sacrifice. Lacking ample cultivation resources, the only thing that could sway the old man was her own body, which was greatly desired by men.

The perceptions of a Desolate Level strong person were sharp. Zhuang Zhi, seated on the stone platform, quickly noticed someone observing him. He frowned and then sharply fixed his gaze towards Gao Shuxian.

Gao Shuxian, trying to avoid Zhuang Zhi’s gaze, found it was too late and could only put up a pitiful and loving appearance, flashing Zhuang Zhi a charmingly coy smile.

Although Gao Shuxian’s beauty fell a notch below that of Liu Qingqing, she naturally exuded seductiveness. Her smile showcased the epitome of feminine charm and allure, deeply tempting.

Observing Gao Shuxian in silence, the male disciples of the Martial Academy nearly popped their eyes out at the sight, their nostrils flaring up as if fluid was about to escape.

Zhuang Zhi on the stone platform also brightened up, subtly nodding towards Gao Shuxian.

Having encountered numerous women over the years, Zhuang Zhi had recognized at first sight that Gao Shuxian was a top-grade woman with an Innate Spiritual Root body. Cultivating together with her would not only offer him extreme pleasure but would also greatly benefit his cultivation.

Initially, when Gao Shuxian approached Zhuang Zhi seeking his protection, he didn’t respond immediately—instead, he intended to tantalize her appetite. Now, seeing Gao Shuxian casting amorous glances at him, Zhuang Zhi thought she was ready to offer herself. Looking at her lascivious demeanor provoked his yearning.

If it were a private setting, Zhuang Zhi would have already torn off his hypocritical mask and pinned Gao Shuxian to the ground to revel in pleasure.

Gao Shuxian and Zhuang Zhi exchanged glances from one platform to another. Apart from a few male disciples infatuated with Gao Shuxian who noticed something unusual, most other disciples did not pay attention to them but focused instead on Liu Qingqing on the stone platform.

Apparently unaccustomed to such public scrutiny, Liu Qingqing stood there after jumping onto the platform, her cheeks blushing shyly, and her clear, doe-like eyes flickered anxiously, momentarily forgetting her purpose up there.

To the many Bitao Martial Academy disciples watching below, Liu Qingqing at that moment resembled a startled little rabbit, evoking an instinctive sense of pity and the urge to protect her.

Compared to Liu Qingqing’s naturally occurring anxiousness and shyness, Gao Shuxian’s seductive act seemed somewhat contrived and made her appear inferior.

"Liu Qingqing, whom do you plan to challenge?" asked Situ Min jovially, one of the Great Elders of Bitao Martial Academy.

From the moment he first saw Liu Qingqing, who possessed the Innate Water Spirit Root and was a pure and lovely beauty, Situ Min took a liking to her. He planned to recruit her as his direct disciple once she qualified, and personally teach her the martial arts techniques.

"Elder Situ, I... I want to challenge Brother Bai Zhiyuan, the top-ranked combatant of the External Courtyard disciples. Then... also challenge Brother Chang Dengfeng, the tenth-ranked of the Inner Courtyard disciples..."

Liu Qingqing glanced at Fang Bai below the stage, saw a smile in the corner of his mouth, and a look of encouragement in his eyes, which bolstered her courage to speak.

As soon as she finished speaking, the thousands of disciples below immediately burst into discussion. Some thought that Liu Qingqing might have a hope in challenging the top-ranked disciple of the External Courtyard’s Power Rankings, but challenging the top ten of the Internal Courtyard’s Power Rankings seemed unlikely to result in victory.

After all, Bai Zhiyuan, who ranked first in the External Courtyard Power Rankings, and Chang Dengfeng, who ranked tenth in the Internal Courtyard Power Rankings, were incomparable in strength.

If Bai Zhiyuan were to compete against Chang Dengfeng, Bai Zhiyuan surely couldn’t withstand three moves from Chang Dengfeng.

Thus, although Liu Qingqing could defeat Bai Zhiyuan, she might not necessarily be a match for Chang Dengfeng.

Many disciples on the scene thought that Liu Qingqing challenging Chang Dengfeng was a bit too arrogant.

"Just entered the Martial Academy a few days ago and dared to challenge Senior Brother Chang, really overestimating yourself! Humph, just wait and see how unlucky you get!"

Gao Shuxian snorted coldly, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"Why are you badmouthing my sister, you vile woman?"

Liu Liehu was standing not far from Gao Shuxian. He felt his blood surge upon hearing her words and walked over quickly, glaring angrily at her.

Fang Bai’s gaze also shifted their way.

Fang Bai’s look was calm, devoid of any killing intent, yet it put immense pressure on Gao Shuxian.

Gao Shuxian took a deep breath and looked away from Fang Bai, glancing dismissively at Liu Liehu and said coldly, "What if I spoke ill of her? Don’t think I would be afraid of you just because you’ve entered the top ten of the External Courtyard Power Rankings! Kid, just get lost!"

Liu Liehu had just defeated two External Courtyard disciples strongly, breaking into the top ten power rankings, surpassing Gao Shuxian in both strength and status. This elicited both envy and resentment from Gao Shuxian, making her particularly irritable towards Liu Liehu.

Gao Shuxian had decided to use her body to gain the support and protection of Zhuang Zhi, and with this new confidence, she no longer feared even Fang Bai.

"Vile woman! I’ll smash your mouth!"

Hearing Gao Shuxian call him "little brat", Liu Liehu became furious. True Yuan flowed within him, his fighting spirit soared, and he clenched his fists, ready to punch her.

"Disciples below the stage, no shouting!"

Zhuang Zhi had been watching over Gao Shuxian as if she were his own possession and had been paying attention to the altercation. Seeing that Liu Liehu was about to hit Gao Shuxian, he immediately bellowed out.

Zhuang Zhi, a Desolate Level Martial Artist, aimed this loud shout specifically at Liu Liehu, embedding a thread of True Yuan into the sound waves, which exploded like thunder beside Liu Liehu’s ears.

Under the assault of Zhuang Zhi’s Sonic Wave Strike, Liu Liehu’s body shuddered violently, his blood churned uncontrollably, and he barely managed to hold back from spitting out blood. However, the intense pain he felt was evident from his flushed, red face.
