Chapter 27

"Ha ha ha... I understand, I understand!" Zhang Daolin suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly, a terrifying aura bursting out from his body.

His skin undulated like waves. A terrifying green blood light emanated from his entire body. The blood qi transformed and swirled around him.

Ye Qingshao quickly pulled his son back a hundred meters, and Doctor Yang also hurriedly retreated.

Soon, the terrifying blood qi actually transformed into green leaf-like things that began to rotate around Zhang Daolin. In the next moment, the rotational force stirred the surrounding air. Within a radius of fifty to sixty meters, all the flowers, grass, and leaves were swept up into the air, forming a green vortex.

The air pressure pushed forward, and the walls of the Qingxiao Manor, fifty to sixty meters away, collapsed with a loud boom. Dust flew up, and the rock formations creaked under the pressure, with some rocks rolling to the ground. The water in the pond was forced to shoot up like a fountain, reaching over ten meters into the air.

Fortunately, the main building of the Qingxiao Manor was over a hundred meters away from Zhang Daolin, but it still had several holes shot through it by flying rocks. The clan members of the Qingxiao Manor were all frightened and ran out of the courtyard.

After half an hour, a faint image of a koala covered in green fur appeared in the green vortex. The image of the koala was very clear, with each hair as fine as a thread clearly visible, much clearer than the blood shadow.

"‘Blood Soul’ awakened..." Ye Qingshao muttered in a daze.

"Damn, my few casual words actually made this old guy condense blood essence, transform blood qi into blood essence, and awaken his Blood Soul, advancing from the peak of Earth Martial to the Heaven Martial realm. This world is really unpredictable. What's going on?" Ye Jun Tian was dumbfounded, feeling utterly bewildered.

However, this guy quickly focused his attention, knowing that the opportunity to observe a strong person breaking through was extremely rare.

Most strong people would choose a secluded place to break through, how could they let you see? You could learn from their breakthrough, taking their strengths and making up for your weaknesses, which would be beneficial for your own future breakthrough. Ye Qingshao, his father, was also staring intently at everything.

Soon, the green blood essence transformed into a 'Green Banner' that lifted Zhang Daolin and slowly ascended into the air.

"This is Master Zhang's flying wing, a wind banner, all condensed from blood essence," Ye Qingshao whispered to his son.

"Um, doctors often carry a wind banner when they practice medicine, maybe this is what Master Zhang imagined," Ye Jun Tian nodded.

The clan members of the Qingxiao Manor watched with their mouths agape, but no one dared to make a sound. It was probably the first time they had seen a high-level expert who could fly. Master Zhang circled in the air with his wind banner before landing.

Then, the old man actually bowed to the young Ye Jun Tian and said, "A doctor is like a parent. What you said was right. I gained a lot from this enlightenment, thank you, young man. From now on, you are my brother."

This scene shocked the clan members of the Qingxiao Manor, turning them into stone statues. Flying was the hallmark of a Heaven Martial expert, and a Heaven Martial expert bowing to Ye Jun Tian—what kind of situation was this? How could anyone accept it? It was too contrary to common sense. Where was the arrogance and high-mindedness of the strong? At this moment, Ye Jun Tian appeared tall and mysterious in the hearts of the clan members.

Could it be because he had a mysterious 'master' that Master Zhang valued him so much? Some clan members guessed wildly in their hearts.

"Big Brother Zhang, hello!" Ye Jun Tian, being a modern soul, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. He immediately called him 'brother.' A powerful Heaven Martial expert, a great doctor, and a well-connected big brother—this guy immediately bowed in respect.

It was better to acknowledge it than to ignore it. When his family was sick, who else would they turn to? Life would be secure. When he was beaten up, he could find this person. A Heaven Martial doctor had a huge influence on martial arts experts. He had to get close, very close, Ye Jun Tian knew this clearly.

"Ha ha ha, good, good, good. You are a good little brother," Zhang Daolin laughed heartily and patted Ye Jun Tian on the shoulder.

"Ye Hong, set up a banquet immediately. I want to celebrate a few cups with Master Zhang and Doctor Yang," Ye Qingshao smiled with surprise, almost dropping his jaw.

"Slow down," Master Zhang waved his hand.

"Master, it is a great honor for me, Ye Qingshao, to have you visit the Qingxiao Manor. We should definitely celebrate a few cups," Ye Qingshao was unwilling to miss this opportunity to curry favor with Master Zhang.

"I'm not saying no to drinking, but let's see the patient first. As you said, a doctor is like a parent," Zhang Daolin said.

"Good, good, good, let's see the patient first," Ye Qingshao naturally agreed, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Ah..." When he saw Ye Jun lying on the bed, Zhang Daolin's brows furrowed, and he sighed. The Ye family's hearts immediately tightened.

"Is it very serious?" Ye Qingshao knew that asking this question was pointless.

"Indeed, it is quite troublesome," Zhang Daolin's face was grave. As a Heaven Martial expert, he already had a vague ability to see through things. Moreover, with his years of medical practice, he could deduce the problem from a person's vital energy and spirit.

"Big Brother, is there still hope?" Ye Jun Tian felt his voice trembling. At this moment, Ye Jun Tian had completely integrated into this body.

"Yes!" Zhang Daolin's answer was very decisive, which relieved the Ye family. He looked at Ye Jun Tian and his father and continued, "However, it is quite troublesome. I can use my blood qi to help connect some of the meridians and unblock some of the blood vessels. Then, I will use medicinal pills to assist in the treatment. However, this can only ensure his life for about a year."

"Big Brother, if you said there is hope, why can he only live for a year?" Ye Jun Tian asked.

"Ensuring his life for a year is the best I can do. I won't lie to you. I said there is 'hope' because if you can get 'it,' then there is a chance to save him," Zhang Daolin stroked his beard.

"What is 'it'?" Ye Jun Tian pressed.

"To explain 'it' would take a long time, but I'll tell you. You should know about the five major academies in Qingzhou," Zhang Daolin said.

"Of course, they are the 'Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth' academies: Jin Feng Academy, Mu Lu Academy, Shui Xing Academy, Huo Di Academy, and Tu Kong Academy. The five academies are well-known in Qingzhou, famous throughout the land," Ye Jun Tian said.

"Right, Qingzhou is at the bottom in terms of overall strength among the nine states of the Zhao Kingdom. However, in terms of population and territory, Qingzhou is not smaller than the other states, with a population of two to three hundred million. The five major academies of Qingzhou are the golden sign of Qingzhou, the cradle of all martial arts practitioners' dreams.

However, although Qingzhou is large, there are only five academies. Each academy admits only a thousand students each year, while the number of young people who participate in the exams is no less than a hundred thousand.

With so many people and so few spots, only geniuses can enter the academies. Sending children to the academies is the greatest honor for the people of Qingzhou. Graduates from the five academies have more development opportunities.

It is also a golden key to wealth, status, and power. The five academies place great importance on the 'blood root test.' Students who enter the academies must have a bloodline ability of at least 20 decibels, which is a C-grade.

And C-grade blood root students must have exceptional combat abilities and physical strength to enter.

Otherwise, this level of 'blood root' would not pass the exam. Most students in the academies are B-grade bloodline, and there are also many A-grade bloodline students," Zhang Daolin explained.
