Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Registration booth.

As soon as Sun Zhe spoke, nearby passersby cast surprised glances at him.

"Holy crap, is this for real?"

"That guy’s actually going to compete in the Golden Core District?!"

"Didn’t he just earn the title of Martial Hero in the Qi Refining District?"

The clerk, who had just graduated from college, was momentarily stunned, looking at Sun Zhe like he was a ghost.

Qi Jie was even more wide-eyed, too shocked to speak.

Only now did he understand why Sun Zhe had just said there was no chance for them to spar together anymore.

"He just got the Martial Hero title in the Qi Refining District, and now he’s going for the Golden Core District... Could it be he’s already reached the Golden Core Realm?"

Qi Jie stared blankly at Sun Zhe’s back, feeling as if it were a giant mountain he could never hope to overcome.

This acclaimed sword technique prodigy from the Qi Family was quite disheartened.

The clerk snapped back to reality and asked, "Have you reached the Golden Core Realm?"

Sun Zhe smiled slightly, "Why don’t you test it and find out?"

The clerk didn’t say anything further, pulling out a True Qi stone from the drawer right away.

A short while later.

The clerk looked at the True Qi stone, his gaze vibrating with excitement, "There’s no doubt he’s in the Golden Core Realm, meets the registration criteria!"

As soon as he said this, the entire room was in an uproar.

Many girls cast admiring looks towards Sun Zhe.

After signing the Waiver Agreement, Sun Zhe headed directly to the Golden Core District with Chen Ruolong in tow.

After coming to his senses, Qi Jie quickly followed.

He was eager to see how Sun Zhe would perform in the Golden Core District.

...

...

The news of Sun Zhe registering for the Golden Core District tournament was astonishingly explosive, and it quickly spread throughout the underground fighting ring, causing quite a stir.

In the news section of the underground fighting ring app, this news even made the headlines directly!

And, naturally, this news reached Qi Xue’s ears too.

"Though I don’t know why you broke through so quickly, since you’ve come to the Golden Core District, I don’t need to find someone to take care of you; I can cripple you myself!"

"You useless trash, just you wait!"

"When the time comes, I’ll definitely cripple you with my own hands!"

"..."

...

Downtown Kyoto.

In the Chen Family’s grand mansion.

Chen Yungang was sitting on the sofa, looking at the headline news on his phone with great interest, and laughed, "Just within a few days, he went from the Body Refining District all the way to the Golden Core District; seems like this ’ghost’ kid really has something, definitely the biggest dark horse in recent years."

A stunning woman was sitting beside him, meticulously tending to her nails, and spoke absent-mindedly, "Honey, why are you even interested in this kind of stuff? "

"Heh heh..."

Chen Yungang moved over a bit, wrapped an arm around his wife, and said, "The Divine Dragon Martial Arts Association is about to start, so I figured I’d see if there’s any promising talent we could recruit into our martial arts school. Maybe they could get us a leading position."

As he spoke, he continued scrolling through more news about ’ghost,’ suddenly frowning and quickly tapping on a photo of ’ghost.’

"Why is it this kid?"

"What is it, honey?"

The beautiful lady curiously leaned over and frowned as well after seeing the picture.

"Honey, isn’t he the kid who came out of the hotel with Yiyi that day?"

Chen Yungang clenched his fists, trembling with anger, "That damn brat, unfit even to carry Young Master Zhao’s shoes!"

"I want to see how far this brat can go in the Golden Core District!"

"..."

...

Golden Core District.

Sun Zhe stood below the stage, watching those Golden Core martial artists fighting fiercely. It was clear that their level was much higher than that of the Qi Refining District.

Martial artists who’ve reached the Golden Core Realm through combat; they’re certainly not to be underestimated. Each one must have some trump card and their combat experience is quite rich.

Chen Ruolong asked, "Boss, when will you get on stage?"

Sun Zhe gently shook his head, "Let’s watch the fight for a while. There’s no easy opponent in the Golden Core District, I should be cautious."

Qi Jie nodded in agreement, "That’s true. The level in the Golden Core District is incomparable to that of the Qi Refining District; the competition here is more brutal, with lives easily lost, and debilitating injuries quite common."

Hearing this, Chen Ruolong turned to him with a strange look, "Didn’t Young Master Qi sign up for the Qi Refining District? Why are you here with us?"

"Uh..."

Qi Jie scratched his nose awkwardly, "There are no more opponents for me in the Qi Refining District. I’m just here to broaden my experience."

Chen Ruolong laughed heartily and put an arm around his shoulders, "Actually, you were conquered by my boss, and you want to be his follower, right?"

"Nonsense," Qi Jie’s face darkened, "I’m really just here to watch, nothing else."

"..."

At this moment, a blood-curdling scream suddenly came from the arena stage.

A Golden Core martial artist wielding a blade spewed blood and was sent flying, landing heavily off the stage, losing consciousness with eyes shut.

On the stage, the female swordsman with her white dress was staring at the crowd below, "Who else?"

Chen Ruolong leaned in and whispered to Sun Zhe, "Boss, that woman is Du Linghan, the eldest daughter of the Du family. She’s extremely ruthless; be careful if you face her."

Sun Zhe gazed at Du Linghan on stage, "She’s certainly something; her swordsmanship is sharp and vicious; each strike is a killing move."

"I’m in!"

Just then, from the crowd, a graceful silhouette leapt onto the stage.

Fixing his gaze, Sun Zhe saw a fiery figure in a black yoga outfit and frowned, "Why is it her?"

Beside him, Chen Ruolong widened his eyes, exclaiming, "I can’t believe it, when did Xiaoling reach the Golden Core Realm?!"

"Hey boss, is that really Xiaoling?"

Sun Zhe had a strange expression, "What, regret it?"

"Regret my ass, being able to sleep with a Golden Core martial artist that long, my life is worth it even if I die!"

"..."

On the stage.

Du Linghan stood proudly, sword in hand, as her gaze fell on Xiaoling, a sinister smile curling on her lips.

"Are you that new girl Qi Xue took in?"

Xiaoling remained silent, simply staring at Du Linghan, True Qi flowing around her as she slowly assumed a stance.

Du Linghan sneered, "A disgrace that can’t even make it to the stage, someone who can play around with a waste like the Chen family’s young master, and you dare challenge me?"

Hearing this, Xiaoling’s face turned icy, "It’s just a friendly duel, Miss Du. No need to speak so harshly."

Du Linghan waved her sword, her gaze suddenly sharp, "Let’s let strength do the talking."

"Perfect, I’ll teach Qi Xue’s dog a lesson!"

As her sword glimmered, the stage was shrouded in frost; Du Linghan’s figure flickered with piercing sword Qi dancing around her.

Xiaoling was taken aback, not daring to be careless. Her eyes stayed fixed on the oncoming Du Linghan, her pupils flashing with a glow.

Unexpectedly, Du Linghan didn’t dodge, striking directly with her sword.

Within just a moment of clash, a shocking sword wound appeared on Xiaoling’s thigh.

By the time Du Linghan’s form reappeared, she was already behind Xiaoling.

"Ha, you dare flaunt charm techniques? It’s better suited for seducing rich kids."

"..."
