He is Yao Buyi, the young generation's Medicine King of the Central Plains Medicine Sect."
Many people around recognized this young man; he seemed quite famous. However, Qin Chuan was puzzled. Everyone said he didn't treat people, yet his medical skills were superb.
How could anyone know his skills if he didn't treat people? And his name sounded pretentious… Yao Buyi…
Qin Chuan shook his head. He had been watching Yao Buyi's fight and attacks on the stage and hadn't noticed anything particularly special.
If he had to point out one thing, it would be his speed and his good understanding of acupoints. He used acupuncture points in his attacks.
The human body has hundreds, even thousands, of acupoints, practically a microcosm. Each acupoint has unique uses, such as numbness, itching, slowed movement, stiffness, or loss of sensation…
Healers can use these to cultivate their skills, achieving twice the result with half the effort, or even a fatal blow, since some acupoints are fatal.
However, this requires speed and the ability to strike.
With so many acupoints on the human body, wouldn't that mean he could strike almost anything?
Actually, no. You can attack randomly, a hundred times, a thousand times, and still not hit the acupoints. Furthermore, strong individuals can seal acupoints, such as those that are considered fatal or vulnerable to attack, by sealing them intermittently.
Therefore, any martial artist, regardless of their training, is bound to be mutually restrained and countered. It's not that training something makes one invincible and unrestrained.
However, one thing everyone agrees on is speed; speed is the only way to break through defenses.
This is undeniable. No matter how powerful one is, they are vulnerable in the face of absolute speed. Some say that strong physical bodies or powerful treasures make you fast, but unfortunately, you can't break through defenses.
This is because the speed is insufficient. If the speed is sufficient, there's nothing that can't be broken. This is true on the road, but ultimately, no one can achieve absolute speed.
Therefore, when speed reaches a certain level, one can rely on divine weapons. For example, Qin Chuan, with his Dragon-Slaying Dagger, is a nightmare for many.
It can be said that the current "Medicine Without Medicine" technique follows this route, albeit at a basic level, utilizing acupoints and needles, since attacking acupoints with needles is relatively easier.
As long as his speed was sufficient, Yao Buyi's previous battles were essentially about overwhelming his opponents with speed. If he couldn't overwhelm them with speed, his chances of winning were very low.
However, Yao Buyi's greatest pride was his speed, so he was very arrogant. Most people couldn't match his speed, and not only that, he also possessed excellent movement techniques.
Movement techniques and footwork can maximize speed; finding advanced and suitable techniques can greatly enhance speed.
Before anyone knew it, dozens of people had been defeated by Yao Buyi, making him the center of attention among the younger generation.
Yao Buyi was already among the top young people, having taken a different path by diligently training his speed, which was certainly related to his innate talent.
After all, alchemists and pharmacists were generally not very strong in combat, but Yao Buyi was an exception, famous for his fighting prowess.
Furthermore, the boots Yao Buyi wore were no ordinary items, even comparable to the Flowing Wind Divine Boots forged by Qin Chuan.
However, Qin Chuan's forging skills have improved now. If he reforges and finds better materials, he can definitely improve significantly.
Besides, there are speed-enhancing talismans.
Even if things don't go well, he can still reduce the opponent's speed. Therefore, Qin Chuan now sees Yao Buyi's so-called speed-based approach as utterly insignificant.
In Qin Chuan's view, Yao Buyi is still far from capable; he simply doesn't have the ability to follow the speed-based path.
Just as Qin Chuan was lost in thought, he noticed everyone around him was looking at him.
Zhao Han said at this moment, "He wants to challenge you, saying you crippled the people of their Zhongzhou Medicine Sect, and he wants to get justice on the martial arts stage."
Qin Chuan was distracted and looked at Yao Buyi on the martial arts stage. The other party was looking at him. Finding him from such a distance wasn't difficult, but it meant the other party had come prepared.
"What, you don't dare?" Yao Buyi raised his head, his eyes disdainful.
This was contempt; after all, the martial arts stage was high, and Yao Buyi stood on it, still looking up at Qin Chuan. It
was full of provocation, or rather, a provocation tactic.
However, this kind of provocation didn't work on Qin Chuan, but he still decided to go up. This was a good opportunity; after all, he wanted to prove himself and enter a certain circle, and this was a shortcut.
"Be careful, this guy is skilled with poison," Zhao Han said, pulling Qin Chuan back.
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm really not afraid of poison," Qin Chuan smiled.
"You're a disgrace to men, you don't even dare to fight back, you're not a man," Yao Buyi said again when he saw Qin Chuan didn't move.
At this moment, the surrounding people began to discuss it.
"Who is Qin Chuan? Why is Yao Buyi challenging him?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't Yao Buyi say this young man crippled someone from the Zhongzhou Medicine Sect? He's seeking justice and settling scores."
"That makes it interesting. Someone has to be crippled, maybe even killed."
"Definitely! This young man crippled someone from the other family, and now they're fighting on the martial arts stage. If Yao Buyi can beat him, he'll definitely cripple this young man." "
That's good. I wonder if this young man will go up. If he doesn't, wouldn't Yao Buyi be very unhappy?"
"Definitely! Didn't you hear Yao Buyi use provocation? Hopefully, this young man will go up; it'll be a very exciting fight."
"Yao Buyi is so powerful, this young man might not go up."
"That's not necessarily true. Daring to cripple someone from the Zhongzhou Medicine Sect means this young man is no ordinary person; perhaps he will go up."
"Yeah, look, that young man went up!"
Many people were excited. Those
who enjoy watching a spectacle never want it to be too big, as long as it's not big enough. They're just there to watch the show.
Qin Chuan walked up, and Yao Buyi's face lit up with a happy smile as he stared at Qin Chuan as if he were already his for the taking.
Qin Chuan looked at him and said calmly, "I never act without reason. Crippled him, which was already showing mercy. I just didn't want to kill anyone."
"You're arrogant!" Yao Buyi said.
Even before the fight started, the two were already irreconcilable enemies.
"Whether I'm arrogant or not isn't for you to decide, and you're not worthy to say it. I came up here not because of your bullshit. In my eyes, you're nothing, just a pebble under my feet," Qin Chuan said calmly, without any emotion.
Yao Buyi's face immediately darkened. Qin Chuan's meaning was clear: in Qin Chuan's eyes, he was nothing, not even worthy of Qin Chuan's attention.
"You're so ignorant. I hope you can still say that later. I want to see if your bones are still so hard," Yao Buyi said through gritted teeth, staring at Qin Chuan.
