The Wang Family's son-in-law? Some young genius? In front of me, Chen Haiming, they're not worth mentioning!

Inside the clinic, Duan Jia saw Chen Haiming blocking Xu Ke's path and was about to step out to help, but Xu Ke stopped him with a gesture.

When the other members of the renovation team heard that Chen Haiming was actually planning to challenge Xu Ke one-on-one, they couldn't help but look over. Wait, isn't Dr. Xu a doctor? Can he even fight?

Dongfang Mingliang chimed in, "Indeed, Young Master Haiming's strength may seem to be on par with yours. But, young man, in reality, the two of you are worlds apart. I advise you to spare yourself the hardship and just obediently give up your spot in the Martial Alliance's selection competition."

Xu Ke raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want me to give it up?"

Chen Haiming waved his hand. "My teacher is mistaken. I don't need you to give me the spot. I will defeat you within five moves and win it fair and square. Teacher, just record this for me."

Dongfang Mingliang did as he was told, deftly taking out his phone and skillfully turning on the camera. Meanwhile, Chen Haiming began to warm up his arms and legs. The two men, brimming with a sense of superiority, completely disregarded Xu Ke and treated the clinic entrance as their personal performance stage.

Seeing this, Xu Ke laughed. "And if I fight you, what's in it for me?"

Chen Haiming was stunned. "Isn't a martial contest a perfectly normal thing? Why should there be benefits?" he asked, completely baffled.

Seeing Chen Haiming's righteous indignation, Xu Ke was momentarily speechless. "You show up here first thing in the morning to challenge me. Shouldn't you have to pay a price for that?"

Chen Haiming was clearly stumped. "The price... isn't it the spot in the Martial Alliance's selection competition?" he stammered.

Xu Ke's brows furrowed. "That spot in the Martial Alliance selection competition is already mine. If you beat me, you get to go to the competition. But if I win, I get nothing? By that logic, isn't this a raw deal for me?"

Chen Haiming was speechless again. "You can't win..." he muttered. Even he knew his logic was flawed, but the thought of losing was inconceivable to him.

Xu Ke laughed, annoyed.

It was Dongfang Mingliang who understood that Xu Ke simply didn't want to fight for free. He leaned in and whispered a few words into Chen Haiming's ear.

Chen Haiming's head snapped up. He stared at Xu Ke. "Fine! If by some one-in-a-million chance you actually beat me, I'll agree to one of your demands."

Xu Ke's eyes narrowed. "Any demand?"

Chen Haiming hastily added, "Nothing too outrageous! Just something I'm capable of doing."

Xu Ke smiled. "Fine. My demand isn't outrageous either. After you lose, you will shout 'I am trash' ten times, send a recording of it to your grandfather, and then treat my renovation team to a meal. That's it."

Xu Ke had originally planned on making Chen Haiming stand at the clinic entrance and shout "I am trash" at the main road. But considering this was Chen Xiong's grandson, he couldn't go too far. Chen Xiong had treated the Wang Family well, so Xu Ke felt he had to show the old man some respect.

Chen Haiming instantly flew into a rage. "What did you say?!" Making him admit he's trash? That's a fate worse than death!

Xu Ke fanned the flames. "Afraid you'll lose? Too scared to agree?"

Chen Haiming laughed with fury. "Of course not! You piece of trash, you think you can beat me?"

"Let's begin. No more nonsense," Xu Ke said nonchalantly.

Seeing Xu Ke's utterly dismissive attitude, a flicker of fury appeared in Chen Haiming's eyes. He glanced at Dongfang Mingliang and gave a slight nod. Dongfang Mingliang raised his phone, signaling he was ready.

In the next moment, Chen Haiming struck a pose. His eyes turned sharp as the True Qi in his body surged like a mighty river, unleashing an intensely intimidating aura.

This scene instantly stunned the renovation crew watching the commotion from inside. To an ordinary person, the display of power from a Postnatal Late Stage master was truly formidable!

In contrast, Xu Ke just stood there, looking completely ordinary. He didn't exude the slightest hint of power, appearing as if he would be knocked over by Chen Haiming's very next move.

Seeing Xu Ke's passive stance, fear welled up in the hearts of the renovation crew. "Dr. Xu isn't going to be defeated, is he?" "Well, he's a doctor, and his opponent is the grandson of the Martial Alliance Leader. It's no shame if he loses, right?" "But getting thrashed at the entrance to his own clinic... that's so humiliating..." they murmured among themselves.

But Chen Haiming charged forward, his eyes filled with thick disdain. This Xu Ke is such a poser! I, Chen Haiming, may be proud, but I always remember to go all out in a fight. Yet this guy, who's at the same cultivation level as me, doesn't even take a proper stance? How can you look so ordinary yet be so confident, Xu Ke? On what grounds?!

He was going to send Xu Ke to the ground with a single punch!

Seeing this, Dongfang Mingliang, who was standing to the side, was instantly ecstatic. That punch! Has the young master improved again in just a few short days?!

BANG!

The fist slammed into Xu Ke's abdomen, the terrifying force of the True Qi exploding with an audible boom.

Chen Haiming was ecstatic. I hit him! A scornful thought followed. So Xu Ke really was all talk. I thought his lack of a stance meant he was preparing some kind of counter. But after landing that punch, I see now he was just too slow to dodge. I completely crushed him!

Seeing Xu Ke take the hit, the renovation crew's eyes widened in shock. "Dr. Xu lost?" "He couldn't even dodge one punch?" "Quick, somebody help him!"

Duan Jia also had a puzzled expression. Impossible. Xu Ke was able to defeat Mr. Yi Ju in an instant.

But just as Chen Haiming was reveling in his triumph, Dongfang Mingliang, who was still recording, suddenly wore an expression of utter disbelief. He could see Xu Ke's face clearly. How is this possible?!

Just as Chen Haiming was basking in his victory, Xu Ke suddenly chuckled. "Too weak. Your grandfather was right not to let you compete."

Chen Haiming froze and instinctively looked up. Wasn't Xu Ke knocked out? Who's talking?

When he saw Xu Ke's nonchalant expression, his eyes flew wide open. "You... how are you completely fine?!"

That was a full-power punch, delivered in perfect form. Logically, Xu Ke should be on his way to a hospital right now.

"I told you. It was too weak."

Chen Haiming was stunned. Before he even had time to get angry at Xu Ke's contempt, a piercing pain suddenly erupted from his own abdomen.

BOOM!!

A sound far more terrifying than Chen Haiming's punch—a sound like the air itself was being torn apart—ripped through the entrance of the clinic.

"Argh...!"

Chen Haiming was sent flying by Xu Ke's swift and brutal kick. He screamed as he soared three or four meters through the air before crashing hard onto the ground.

THUD!

He couldn't get back up.

A single kick. An instant knockout.

Both the renovation team and Dongfang Mingliang were dumbfounded, their minds reeling from the instantaneous reversal. Wh-what just happened? Didn't Xu Ke just get hit? Then why is Chen Haiming the one who went flying? Are we hallucinating?

"Argh..." Chen Haiming's pathetic wails continued.

Once they confirmed that it was, in fact, Chen Haiming lying on the ground while Xu Ke hadn't even shifted from his spot—as if he'd just swatted a fly—everyone's jaws dropped in disbelief. Holy shit! Dr. Xu is that powerful?!
