…

The Wang manor in Ogden Southern Gate village

Inside a luxuriously decorated room, a young man is currently lying on the ground with his eyes closed. Beside the young man is a man wearing a doctor's coat. The doctor is checking the young man's body using a small strand of his Ki.

When the doctor stopped, a frown appears on his expression.

"What is it, doctor? Is my son alright?" a middle-aged man suddenly asked with a worried expression.

"Hmm… How should I say this… The frost Ki inside his body is controlled… You said that an ugly man inserted some needles in the young master's arms, right?" he asked.

"Yes, my guard said that the ugly man was very adept. But when he asked Divine Doctor Ba to hit my son, the guard acted, but instead of hitting the ugly man, he actually hit my son's chest…" Wang Zhou said while glaring at the guard who is kneeling on the side.

"Oh… I see… Well, if my findings are correct, then that hit is the one that has suppressed the Frost Ki. That was actually an ingenious way to treat the frost from metallic frost ore… In my experience, the poisonous frost Ki is usually fatal and could cause death. If not for that man's quick reaction, then your son…" the doctor did not finish his words.

The expression of Wang Zhou turned gloomy. In fact, he could not blame others in this matter. This happened because his son was too arrogant and just grabbed that metallic frost ore.

No matter how he thinks about it, it all pointed to his son's fault. But what the guard told him about the stall running away and the ugly man also escaping made him think that there is something at play in here.

But he could not think more about this as the most important thing for him right now is the condition of his only son.

After the doctor left, Commander Wang showed a sigh of relief at the good news. But then his expression suddenly sank as he called for one of the soldiers.

"Send a message to grandfather… Tell him the condition here. I hope that he would be able to help us." He said.

The soldier nodded his head and quickly left.

The expression of Commander Zhou showed a hint of regret in his eyes. First is the tragedy that befalls the fiancée of his son, then the news there is something wrong with the forest, and now his son. How could he not feel worried about it? While shaking his head, he continues walking and left the room.

Several guards are left guarding the whole house where Wang Changli is resting.

…

At Divine Doctor Ba's house

Inside a courtyard that looks like a small hospital, several white-robed men and women are busily going to and fro. There are many patients coming and going in this place.

At this time, Divine Doctor Ba arrives and many people quickly greeted him. Some of the patients wanted that he should be the one to treat them, but they hesitated as the other doctors in the village are also experts in their own rights.

But the people became curious at the two ugly people following behind the divine doctor. When they seem to have realized who those people might be, their expression changes into that of fear.

The three people walk inside a wide white room.

"This is my office… and this is my assistant… Huqiong." Divine Doctor Ba introduced after they enter his office.

Huqiong is a middle-aged man with a common face. He is only a level 1 Ki fighter, but his physique is a bit pudgy.

"Huqiong, please guard the door and not let anyone enter…" Divine Doctor Ba commanded.

The honest expression of Huqiong gives Xin Ja a good impression of the middle-aged guy. After Huqiong left, Divine Doctor Ba gestured for Xin Ja to a corner that looks like there is an operating table.

"I will teach you skin reconstructing using Ki. I hope that you can learn from this, as it is a bit helpful when you are traveling."

It took Divine Doctor Ba a few hours after he was done. The reason why it took a bit long is that… Divine Doctor Ba is explaining the process to Xin Ja one by one. And now, it was Xin Ja's turn to do it on Yao Xue.

When her camouflage and makeup was removed, Divine Doctor Ba immediately understood what is going on. As a divine doctor, and a man who loves to roam around anywhere in Ogden town and its nearby villages, he is privy to many news and gossip.

And one of the gossips he heard today is the missing fiancé of Wang Changli, the young lady from the Yao family. The reason why she was missing is because of the bandit attack. It is said that she might have been taken by the bandits. But who would have known that she would actually be in here?

It is said that her beauty is impeccable… if not for her uselessness… many men would surely flock in the Yao family manor. However, what use is beauty?

With one look he could already recognize her as he had seen her once before.

At this time, Xin Ja performed the procedure according to Divine Doctor Ba's instruction and after the procedure, it made the old man feel that his decision to teach the young man all of his skills are correct.

30 minutes later…

Xin Ja and Yao Xue showed an elated expressions on their faces. They look normal, not too outstanding, and not too ugly either, their faces are just right.

"I am Xin Ja… from Ogden town."

When Divine Doctor Ba heard his name, his brow suddenly crunched. He seems to be confused. Then he asked…

"Xin Jong?"

"Ahh… He is my father." Xin Ja said with a smile.

Divine Doctor Ba froze.

How could he not know who Xin Jong is? That guy's name is a bit of a legendary in Ogden town. He might not be the strongest Ki fighter, but his skill is truly terrifying. It is said that even though he is just a 10th level Ki fighter, he could actually go toe to toe with a 12th level Ki adept. That is twice his strength.

However, the only sad thing about this strong and proud man is his only son, Xin Ja. It is said that Xin Ja is a fool.

And yet, no matter how he thinks about it, he could not put his mind into it. Unless…

Upon thinking to this point, the expression of Divine Doctor Ba showed clarity. It was as if he just discovered a great secret.

"Ahh… You… you did that on purpose! Right?"

Not knowing what the old man meaning is, Xin Ja showed confusion.

"I mean, you acted like a fool for many years…" the old man said.

Xin Ja did not deny it. Since Divine Doctor Ba is going to be his teacher, then he would tell him the truth, just like his teacher, Old Wang.

On the side, the expression of Yao Xue is calm. She already guessed as much but said nothing.

"Sigh… Anyway… Since you have agreed to be my student, I will not hide anything from you…" Ba Baoji began taking one book after another from different places in the room.

After a while, a small mountain of books is now on the table in front of them.

"I want you to read through this, and then learn from them. If you do not know or understand anything you can ask me, or ask Doctor Sun. I know you are close to him."

"Oh, Master… You know Doctor Sun?"

"Of course, he is a very pesky fellow who always likes to pester me…" Divine Doctor Ba said with a hint of annoyance on his face.

"Oh, by the way, by the end of this month. I want to see you at the Ogden academy… You should try going to school to develop your communication and interaction skills with people. As a doctor, you should know how to communicate with others…"

"Umm… Master… How… how can I carry these things?"

"Humph! Are you going to pretend in front of me? I saw you using some kind of space spell… I know you can store these things in there, right?"

Space spell? This made Xin Ja feel a bit confused, but then he realized that space rings are not common in Ogden town, so not anyone knows about it.

"Sigh… If only I could use space spells, then that would be a good way to keep these many records…" Divine Doctor Ba said while looking at the pile of books around him.

Xin Ja has an idea about what Divine Doctors Ba is talking about. Space spell is like a teleportation spell, but it is unable to teleport living objects. Once this is done, then only death awaits them on the other side.

He is using such a thing before when he did not have the ring yet.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. It is actually a good way to earn some money if he truly wanted to.

"Master… What if I give you one… But it is not yet perfect…" Xin Ja said with a crafty smile.
