In Korea, the Ryu Family is second only to the Fu Family in terms of martial arts lineage. Although Liu Xianhe's generation was somewhat underwhelming, and now he's the only direct descendant still practicing martial arts, if you include the Ryu Family's collateral branches, his father Liu Xianhe is still the third strongest in the family, only behind the current Family Head, Patriarch Liu, and the old butler of the Ryu Family, both of whom are grandmaster-level experts.

Those two were figures from the previous generation, already grandmaster-level experts. Liu Junhao naturally wouldn't count them among the martial artists of the Ryu Family because the gap was simply too large, rendering any comparison meaningless.

Among the remaining martial artists of the Ryu Family, his father stood undisputedly at the top, even if Patriarch Liu had indicated that his father had little hope of reaching the grandmaster level. This did not affect Liu Junhao's view of his father as an invincible expert...

But now, that invincible idol, that myth... had shattered.

"I lost..."

Compared to the deeply disappointed Liu Junhao, Liu Xianhe appeared quite accepting. Qin Fang's move just now was indeed powerful. Even though he had anticipated the attack and positioned himself defensively in advance, he still couldn't withstand that kick...

If Liu Xianhe had another go, he felt that he wouldn't do much better than before; the odds of blocking it were still unlikely.

As such, the outcome was already determined. He indeed was no match for Qin Fang.

"It's just a friendly match; there's no need to take it too seriously..."

Qin Fang promptly walked over to Liu Xianhe, extended his hand, helped him up from the ground, and said so.

"Heh, Mr. Qin, I'm not someone who can't accept loss. Losing is losing—no need to make excuses for myself..."

Liu Xianhe said with a chuckle.

He came to Dragon Country to seek breakthroughs in the Martial Way by sparring with various experts...

Victory and defeat are common in the way of the warrior; he'd seen it very clearly and naturally wouldn't take such a failure too seriously. Otherwise, he would have already been discouraged enough to retreat back to Korea and be a local overlord, instead of continuing to stay in Dragon Country and be bullied.

"Liu Xianhe, please wait a moment. Let me treat your injuries..."

Qin Fang suddenly felt more admiration for such a person. At least his gaze was clear. It seemed he really didn't have any other motives, so naturally Qin Fang couldn't be too harsh. He immediately took out the Silver Needle and inserted a few needles at several major acupuncture points on Liu Xianhe's chest.

Liu Xianhe frowned but was about to say he was fine; however, Qin Fang was quick with his actions. The Silver Needle penetrated his body instantly, and quickly he felt much more relaxed, as if the suffocating feeling of congestion in his chest had dissipated instantly...

Liu Xianhe was not a fool. He knew that Qin Fang's move was not only fast and powerful but also secretly carried a certain hidden force...

This kind of hidden force was rather elusive, undetectable by most, but if left untreated for a long time, it could lead to internal injuries.

"Sigh, I really am not as good as him by quite a bit..."

Once he understood this, Liu Xianhe couldn't help but sigh to himself.

He glanced down at the employees, disciples, and his son, whose faces were filled with shock and disbelief, as well as a very apparent anger.

Such anger naturally wouldn't be directed at him; it was obviously aimed at Qin Fang, for having defeated him, Liu Xianhe!

Qin Fang put away the needle, and Liu Xianhe's injuries were essentially completely neutralized. As for the angry looks from those people, Qin Fang completely ignored them. Would a mighty lion pay any heed to the clamor of a swarm of ants?

Qin Fang might disregard this, but Liu Xianhe couldn't afford to. He had lost, but felt it necessary to let the people before him understand something; otherwise, troubles would surely befall the Ryu Family in the future.

"You all saw it... I lost, I lost to Mr. Qin! But I admit defeat wholeheartedly... Dragon Country is a magical nation, the cradle of many civilizations. Just like our Korean Taekwondo, which actually originated from the martial arts of Dragon Country, it has evolved over thousands of years into the system we have today..."

"I know what many of you are thinking, that the martial arts of Dragon Country are nothing special. In the past, I never bothered to explain or speak of this to you... Do you know why?"

Everyone shook their heads in a daze, still unable to get over the shock of Liu Xianhe's defeat. They replied reflexively to Liu Xianhe's words.

"Well, now I can tell you, it's because... you are too weak!"

Liu Xianhe said this very seriously and earnestly, with the phrase "you are too weak" sounding especially forceful and resonant.

You are too weak!

There was a time when they used these words to mock the Dragon Country People while teaching their students and disciplining those who dared to cause trouble with their Taekwondo.

However, what they did not expect was that such a phrase would, most unfortunately, fall upon their own heads...

If anyone had dared to say these words to them before, the response would surely have been a beating, even if it were Qin Fang standing before them.

But today, the person who uttered these words was none other than their most respected and revered master... This made it very difficult for them to accept it in their hearts and they couldn't help but fall silent.

"I know you don't believe it. Actually, when I first arrived in Dragon Country, I had the same thoughts as you. But over the years, I've made many friends in the Dragon Country Martial World and faced numerous experts, which made me realize how ridiculous my former self was..."

Liu Xianhe seemed to be deeply moved as he said this.

Patriarch Liu had also realized that the Ryu Family offspring had developed such notions and thoughts, so he decisively sent Liu Xianhe and others to Dragon Country to experience the true strength of the Dragon Country Martial World, instead of the frail image they had in their minds...

In just one year, the overly proud Liu Xianhe challenged dozens of experts. When facing weaker opponents, Liu Xianhe won a few matches, but whenever he encountered stronger ones, especially Level 5 experts, almost every fight was a struggle, ultimately resulting in more losses than wins...

The most memorable was a fight a year ago, where a young man in his twenties single-handedly swept through all the young experts of the Northern Martial Arts World. Not even the certain Level 5 Peak Expert, whom Liu Xianhe had set as his target to surpass, could last ten moves against that young man and was defeated miserably...

He vividly remembered that battle because he felt that if it had been him, not to mention ten moves, he probably wouldn't have withstood three...

Initially, he thought such a young man was definitely a rare genius, one that appeared only once in a hundred years, but today he suddenly found his thoughts too simplistic...

Because he felt that not being able to withstand three moves from that young expert was already flattering himself, as he couldn't even handle a single move from Qin Fang. And Qin Fang's strength seemed to be on par with that of the young expert from before...

At the same time, Liu Xianhe knew that there were many ancient sects hidden in Dragon Country, with disciples who were truly geniuses. An outcoming disciple from these sects could be compared to Qin Fang and that young expert...

He even heard that the top disciples of these sects had entered the Grandmaster Level in their twenties—achieving what many martial artists only dream of. This gave a glimpse into how powerful the foundations of these sects were.

But these young people from Korea, their strengths might not be much to speak of, yet their pretentiousness, arrogance, and disdain are unbearably annoying...(To be continued.
