A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 42 Thione Dojo and the Martial Arts Talent William didn't use any Qi, but his strength was just right. The middle-aged man couldn't control his footing and lost his balance, causing him to fall to the ground with a loud bang.

The disciples were all shocked. How can the owner be defeated with just one move? The middle-aged man was surprised as well. He got up with a kip-up and said, "Impressive! Another round!" However, William shook his head and replied, "There's no need to continue. Your lower body is unstable, and your foundation isn't good enough." Hearing that, the man felt insulted. "I trained my horse stance for seven years when I was young. How dare you say my lower body is unstable? You're underestimating me!" "Don't be pissed. What I mean is that your training method is flawed," explained William.

The man snorted. "Shut up! How could the training method of Thione Sect be flawed?" Seeing that it was impossible to continue the conversation, William shrugged and said, "Alright, then. I will focus on attacking your lower body later. You can experience it for yourself." After a roar, the man kicked in the air again. He was obviously skilled at leg work. However, before he could complete his kick, William suddenly dashed forward and pushed him, sending him flying several feet away before he fell to the ground once again.

At this moment, the disciples couldn't bear to watch anymore. Many of them lowered their heads as they felt that the owner was no match for the challenger.

Yet, the man refused to give up and charged forward for the third time. This time, William just pulled him by the hand, and he fell for the third time.

When William saw that the man still wanted to fight, he frowned and said, "That's enough!" "The Thione Sect cannot be disgraced," the man said in a cold voice after he stopped.

Suddenly, William chuckled. "How did I disgrace you? I'm just a passerby who saw a dojo and wanted to take a look. But who knew that you would challengeas soon as I entered? I only told you that your training method is flawed, and your stance is unstable. These are all facts. Did you feel disgraced by that?" When the man heard William's words, he was stunned for a moment before asking, "Aren't you Hayes Ziegler?" "Who is Hayes Ziegler? My nis William Barrett," replied William, realizing that they had a misunderstanding. With an embarrassed look, the man quickly cupped his fists and apologized, "I'm sorry! I thought you were Hayes Ziegler. He was supposed to cand challenge us, so I spoke too harshly." "I see. It's my fault for not making myself clear, then," William nodded.

The man was also quite generous. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, he immediately becvery polite to William and invited him to the tea room next door.

1/5 Chapter 42 Thione Dojo and the Martial Arts Talent After sintroductions, William got to know that the middle-aged man named Thomas Cornell turned out to be the owner of this dojo. He had been practicing martial arts for nearly 30 years under an old boxer of the Thione Sect.

A few days ago, a boxer from out of town named Hayes Ziegler suddenly arrived in the Kreim Capital. He was very strong and challenged seven dojo owners continuously. Today was the day he was supposed to cand challenge the Thione Dojo's owner. Yet, William happened to be there and caused a misunderstanding, so they were hostile toward him from the start.

When William heard that, he couldn't help but say, "I chere at the wrong time." "If it weren't for today, I would have entertained you well. Mr. Barrett. But today, I have to welcat formidable opponent, so I can only offer you stea." William replied, "My sister is taking an exam up ahead, so I can't stay long too. I'll be leaving soon." Just then, there was a commotion outside, and a very arrogant voice was heard saying, "Which one of you is Thomas Cornell? Cout and take a punch from me!" Hearing that, Thomas stood up sharply and strode out, with William following closely behind as he wanted to watch the fun.

In the dojo, there was a young man in his early twenties, standing at 5'9. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, arms longer than his knees, forearms twice as thick as those of an ordinary person's, unusually large feet, and broad shoulders.

Seeing this kind of face and figure, William was slightly surprised. The medical scripture he read mentioned that a person with such a physique was born with a natural talent for martial arts. He didn't expect to meet one here.

The young man was none other than the challenger, Hayes. He had a cold and arrogant look, and it seemed like he didn't care about anyone present.

At this moment, Thomas shouted, "I'm Thomas Cornell!" Hayes coldly smiled. "You're Thomas, eh? If you can take my one punch, I'll spare your Thione Dojo. If not, get out of Kreim Capital!" "You talk big. Do you do a lot of heavy lifting with your mouth?" Thomas sneered.

As Hayes narrowed his eyes, he said, “I just wanted to defeat you, but now that you have provoked me, I will disable you!" "No more arrogant words! Con! Thomas showed no fear and kicked with a roar.

As soon as he made the move, William secretly shook his head, knowing that he had lost. Sure enough, Hayes was as fast as lightning, kicking Thomas in the leg and sending him flying.

Instantly, Thomas groaned in pain as his leg was severely injured.

However, Hayes was merciless, for he leaped into the air and spun around before smashing his right leg heavily toward Thomas on the ground.

With such a blow, Thomas would either die or becdisabled.

2/5 09:46 Sat, 8 Jun Chapter 42 Thione Dojo and the Martial Arts Talent "Enough!" William shouted seriously as he appeared behind Hayes and grabbed his belt all of a sudden, pulling him back with force.

Hayes was shocked and swung his right hand to his back like a whip, striking precisely at William's temple in a blind attack. This move was a conditioned reflex that he had developed after countless practices. It was fast and strong.

Meanwhile, William swung his arm to meet him head-on, and it was like two whips striking together.

Crack! A loud sound echoed, and Hayes felt intense pain in his arm, making his face turn pale.

On the other hand, William was unperturbed. He pressed down on Hayes' belt and heard a loud thud as he fell heavily to the ground, severely injured.

Furious, Hayes tried to resist, but he felt a hand pressing on his head, preventing him from circulating his Qi. Within seconds, he broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare move at all.

Then, William said calmly. "You can challenge the owner, but why hurt people? Don't you know this is a society ruled by law?" While feeling stiff all over, Hayes asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?” After William retrieved his hand and took a few steps back, he said calmly, Tm just a passerby who couldn't bear to see you trying to kill someone. Aren't you good at fighting? Here, I'll stand still and use only one hand to fight you. Cand attack me." Hearing that. Hayes jumped up, his eyes flashing with ferocity. "Are you going to stand still and face my attack with one hand? Even if you are a Qi State master, you are underestimating me!" As soon as William made a move earlier, he sensed that William was definitely a Qi State master, but so what? As a martial arts genius, he had enough confidence to defeat a Qi State master who was only using one hand.

"Con. Try me!" William said.

Hayes backed up several feet, then took a running start and kicked with all his might. He beclike a cannonball, aiming his kick at William.

This kick unleashed his full power like a charging rhinoceros and was truly frightening Even Thomas couldn't help but exclaim, "Be careful!" Yet, William smirked, his breath surging with Qi. With a flick of his hand, Hayes' body shifted slightly to the side, barely avoiding him.

This move was truly incredible, as if Hayes were an inflatable doll with no weight, easily pushed a foot away.

Hayes was surprised to see that he had missed his target and ended up kicking past William's side. At the smoment, William's arm whipped like a whip and slammed heavily against his waist.

Bang! Hayes felt that he was hit by a huge hammer, making him fall heavily to the ground. His internal organs were injured, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to move for a while.

Meanwhile, William looked down at him and coldly aid, "With just this level of skill, how dare you go 3/5 Chapter 42 Thione Dojo and the Martial Arts Talent around challenging dojo owners? Who gave you the confidence?"

Since practicing martial arts, Hayes had always been invincible, but today, he was defeated by William Both ve sprocked and angry, he said in a stern voice, "You're a Qi State master. It's nothing impressive to defeat me! I will eventually defeat you!" Tll be ready to teach you a lesson anytime," replied William.

Just then. Thomas walked up to him and cupped his fists, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Barrett."

William waved his hand. "Don't mention it. Today, I seem to have taught him a lesson, but in fact, m saved his life. He was able to be so arrogant until now because he had never met a Qi State master.

Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death long ago." Only then did Hayes slowly get up and gnash his teeth at William. "I dare you to tellyour name." "My nis William Barrett, and I live in Halivaara District. You can visitanytto seek revenge." William answered calmly.

Hearing his answer, Hayes said, "I will definitely go!" After speaking, he held his stomach and limped away.

At the stime, William told him from the back. "You have internal injuries. Don't eat anything for three days, and you'll recover naturally." Without responding. Hayes slowly left the dojo.

After that, Thomas snorted and said, "Mr. Barrett, this ungrateful person doesn't know what's good for him. Why did you tell him that he had internal injuries?" "He's a rare martial arts talent. It would be a shto ruin him," replied William calmly.

Thomas was taken aback. “A martial arts talent? Why did you let him go, then? If he gets stronger in the future and seeks revenge on you, then" "If I was afraid of him getting stronger, I wouldn't have made a move today." William cut him off.

"Right, right. You're a Qi State master. People like you are hard to meet. Then, Thomas turned to the other disciples and said, "What are you all standing there for? Cand pay respects to Mr. Barrett."

The disciples quickly stood up and went to pay their respects, som even wanting to ask William questions about martialarts. However, William didn't have much time, so he said, "Everyone, my sister is taking an exam, so I have to leave now. I'll stay in the Kreim Capital for a few days. I'll cback to see you guys another day." Suddenly, Thomas said, "Mr. Barrett's business is our business. We'll wait with you." Speechless, William thought to himself, Is that even necessary? So, he quickly rejected him. "No need for that. I'll definitely cback another day." Only then did Thomas finally give up, but he insisted on escorting William to the entrance of the school before going back.

When he arrived at the school, he waited for just over half an hour before Mia cout.

Seeing her, he asked in surprise, "Isn't there still halan hour left? Why did you cout early?" 4/5 87% X
