The whole Qin Province was turned upside down, while Zhang Xiaoshan, one of the involved parties, remained behind closed doors, quietly staying in Liang Chengdao's manor to cultivate. He understood clearly that at this time, anything he did would be in vain. Only by strengthening his power and digesting the opportunity he gained in the Northeast could he defeat Chen Jiao in the duel, naturally resolving all troubles.

Ten years ago, Chen Jiao was already a peak expert, and after so many years of deep seclusion and focused cultivation, he had most likely reached the Demigod Realm, or even truly achieved the God Realm. Even if he was just a demigod, his foundation was deep, incomparable to the likes of Feng Tiangang's half-baked goods. Even among demigods, there are ranks, let alone the possibility of him reaching the God Realm.

Therefore, one must be thoroughly prepared.

He was in the Dragon Ball Mini World, immersing himself in cultivation.

...

Two days later.

The fifteenth of January.

Today is the Lantern Festival.

Wei River Lake is the largest municipal park in Yang City, with many lion dance troupes today, and tourists coming one after another.

The Qin Province's traditional performance and folk opera, renowned far and wide, attracted many tourists from all over.

The Wei River flows grandly from south to south, with a giant statue of Emperor Qin Shi Huang standing on the riverbank, towering a hundred meters high. Holding a giant bronze sword, he overlooks all beings, with tourists taking photos all around.

It could be described as a sea of people.

But the closest spot by the river was blocked by a group of burly men in red, and no one was allowed to approach.

A blonde woman clad in gilded fur, black jeans, and Martin boots, wearing a mask, watched the bustling crowd with great interest.

A middle-aged man beside her whispered.

"Young lady, your status is noble and special. It's not suitable to be in such crowded places. We should return to the hotel and wait for the Flying Fox Sect's envoy."

The blonde woman reluctantly said.

"It's rare for me to go out. Why rush? Let's wait for a while. Isn't there a duel between masters today? Just perfect for the excitement."

"This... our cooperation with the Flying Fox Sect is very important. If the envoy waits too long, it might not be good," the old man was still somewhat hesitant.

The blonde woman said indifferently.

"What's the rush? They should still be on the plane, so let's talk later."

"Besides, it's not just us who need the Flying Fox Sect's help; they have their own troubles too. Let's not seem desperate."

After finishing, she walked into the crowd, leaving the old man to sigh helplessly and hurriedly follow.

"The Blood Flood Dragon Group's Chairman is the top expert in Qin Province, building this foundation with a solid martial arts cultivation. No one in Qin Province dares provoke them. A poor kid from a rural background dares to offend him—he must be tired of living."

"Hey, I heard that Miracle Doctor Zhang is no ordinary figure, truly a dragon and phoenix among men. Today, it's hard to say who will win."

"This duel will be more exciting than any lion dance. Let's just wait and see."

A group of young university students murmured nearby.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang?"

The blonde woman, squeezing into the crowd, trembled, her eyes filled with shock and astonishment.

"Which Miracle Doctor Zhang? What Miracle Doctor Zhang? Where is he from, how old is he?"

The blonde woman grabbed one of the students.

The burly man screamed in pain from the grip.

"My arm, my arm, it's going to break."

"Young lady." The elderly man reminded her, causing the blonde woman to wake up. She hurriedly released the student, softening her tone and lowering her attitude.

"I mean to say, what's the deal with this Miracle Doctor Zhang? I'm curious too."

Her body was trembling with excitement.

The student, clearly frightened by the blonde woman, spoke with a hint of panic.

"We, we only heard about it. How could we possibly know such a person?"

"We only heard that this Miracle Doctor Zhang has incredible medical skills and formidable martial arts, rising to prominence in just a few months, becoming a hot figure in Qin Province. We don't know anything else."

After speaking, he hurriedly ran away.

"Incredible medical skills, formidable martial arts, surname Zhang—is it him?"

The blonde woman's eyes revealed a few expressions of nervousness and anticipation.

"Young lady, do you know this Miracle Doctor Zhang?"

The elderly man behind her noticed the anomaly.

The blonde woman shook her head.

"No, I'm just curious."

She said this, yet couldn't help but slowly walk to the spot closest to the riverbank, which was about to become the battleground.

"Whoo."

A gust of wind blew, knocking off her mask.

Revealing a peerless face.

Who else could it be but the long-missing Shen Xinhe?
