Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King

Jin Wanquan suddenly said, "Master Yao, are you sure you didn’t see wrong? Did he really score 267? I’m not doubting you; I’m doubting him." He pointed straight ahead.

It turns out... this medical contest was instigated by Jin Wanquan. He is over thirty years old, talented in medicine, and comes from a wealthy family, though not as influential as the Yao family. Still, he lives comfortably and has access to Essence Treasure and Martial Arts affairs.

His time as a "Sitting Doctor" is ending; he should step into the role of a "Famous Doctor," a position from which he can mingle with nobles and enter the houses of true aristocrats. But "being famous" requires opportunity.

While struggling without fame or accomplishments, despite possessing great medical skills that have no place to be showcased, he encountered Li Xian. Seeing Li Xian gain immediate fame based solely on his looks, surpassing him by far, he felt indignant and deeply dissatisfied.

Noticing other fellow Sitting Doctors had similar sentiments, he secretly sowed discord, using Li Xian’s "mixed race" background to incite discrimination from other doctors, which eventually evolved into a "medical contest."

Jin Wanquan was excited and wanted to use the contest to gain fame. He indeed had exceptional talent, shining brightly in the first round.

Yao Baishun said, "I didn’t see wrong."

Jin Wanquan thought, "I better not offend Master Yao." He said, "Don’t blame me, Master Yao; I have a question to ask this Li Xian."

Li Xian said calmly, "Please ask, Brother Jin." Jin Wanquan frowned and said, "I don’t dare to take the title Brother Jin. Although I, Jin Wanquan, am not a person with significant status, I am of the Yu People lineage. As for your mixed race background, it’s not that I look down on it, but there is some distance."

Li Xian smiled and said, "No problem!" Jin Wanquan suddenly shouted, "Fine, then I’ll ask directly, did you secretly spy on the handling process beforehand!" Attempting to oppress him with momentum.

Jin Wanquan leaned closer, with piercing tiger eyes, staring and saying, "If you tell the truth, you can be leniently punished. Our Miao Yi Pavilion always seeks benevolence from healthcare providers, and a gentleman’s medical style. If you have the courage to admit it, it can be considered returning from the wrong path, leaving room for maneuver."

Li Xian glanced at Yao Baishun, who stood smiling, as if watching the situation unfold. Meanwhile, the guests murmured among themselves, questioning upon learning of Li Xian’s "mixed race" background.

Li Xian thought, "Such baseless suspicion is unfounded, mere speculation. If I explain seriously to him, would he believe me? Why should I stoop so low?" He sneered, "Ridiculous. If you doubt my medical skill, you can defeat me in the subsequent two rounds."

Li Xian said lightly, "But I see it’s in vain, it seems your medical skill might need another fifty or sixty years of practice before qualifying to stand three hundred miles away from me."

Jin Wanquan angrily said, "Mixed race, arrogant! I charge you with disrespectful crimes!" Both hands swung, aiming to strike Li Xian. Jin Wanquan actually had Martial Arts First Realm cultivation, using Basic Martial Arts known as the "Whirlwind Palm," yet reaching Great Success in it.

Jade City is built around "Martial Arts." Though "Heavenly Works and Ingenious Items" are dazzling and endless, numerous miscellaneous paths thrive, ultimately it must fall back on Martial Arts. "Ordinary Clay Embryos" have short lifespans, unable to bear the burden of "status."

Li Xian sneered coldly, striking swiftly like electricity, Thunderbolt Finger executed instantly, hitting Jin Wanquan’s arm points. The "Double Wind through the Ear" move of Whirlwind Palm suddenly changed, slapstick at an angle, instead striking Jin Wanquan’s face.

The "pa-pa" sound echoed, causing Jin Wanquan’s cheeks to swell, dizzy and fall to the ground. Li Xian hurried to assist, quietly hitting his mute acupoint, gently lifting Jin Wanquan, then pretending to slip, causing Jin Wanquan’s knees to weaken, kneeling before him.

Li Xian lamented, "Brother Jin, admitting mistakes and correcting them is a great virtue. No need to kneel publicly, why... why must you be so courteous!"

Jin Wanquan uttered "wu wu ya ya" sounds, having been hit the mute acupoint, attempting to rise. However, Li Xian appeared to assist, but actually pressed him down. Pure Gang Qi Clothing invisibly draped on Jin Wanquan, making it difficult for him to gather strength.

Li Xian said anxiously, "Brother Jin, I have forgiven you. You... you... quickly rise. Causing such a scene, everyone is watching us as a joke now."

Jin Wanquan wanted to cry but had no tears, recalling the elder’s words: "Someday, even when you hold immense power, a word can decide life’s and death. But without understanding Martial Arts, others always have a thousand ways to harm you secretly. Thus... don’t neglect Martial Arts, the profundity of it is hard to convey with words."

The lesson was profound; regretting when too late. In fact, Jin Wanquan’s strength wasn’t lacking, yet Li Xian was stronger by several degrees, Pure Gang Qi Clothing, abundant Inner Qi, unparalleled strength, reaching Peak... all kinds of capabilities, skillfully utilized, could invisibly disadvantage opponents.

Yao Yin raised her eyebrows, agile posture, flashed to the duo’s side in a few steps. At this time Li Xian pretends to assist, but actually presses down, holding Jin Wanquan’s wrist. Yao Yin’s Martial Arts was accomplished, keen-eyed, seeing the crucial point, horizontally moved the sword towards Li Xian’s hands, forcing him to withdraw his hand, then kicked backward, stepping on Jin Wanquan’s chest, sending him flying several meters.

The mysterious kick strength made Jin Wanquan’s body light, floating and turning naturally to stand on the ground. The previous embarrassment vanished, trembling as his swollen cheeks healed.

Li Xian had seen Yao Yin wield the sword before, knowing her strength was extraordinary. Curious, he tried to attack, raised his palm to strike. Yao Yin immediately followed, their palms touched, producing a crisp bell sound.

Li Xian advanced and retreated with measure, immediately withdrew his palm, pretending to retreat three steps, showing deference. Yao Yin arrogantly raised her eyebrows, after dissolving the palm power, gestured and said, "Doctor Jin, you are a senior doctor at Miao Yi Pavilion, benefiting countless people. Once, Yao Yin only considered your medical skills outstanding, young and promising, not knowing you also have such magnanimity. Truly admirable!"

Jin Wanquan with a strange expression, mute acupoint had been unlocked by Yao Yin’s kick, said, "This... this..." The words were blocked. Despite receiving Yao Yin’s praise, he felt both happy and angry. It was hard to react, especially after being taught a lesson, making his personality more restrained. Yao Yin further said, "Brother Li’s score, surely without error. A misunderstanding occurred earlier, both have clarified. Uncle Yao, should the contest continue?"
