Doctors who cannot treat themselves

"No need, my body is perfectly fine," Long Chen shook his head, while also realizing what this Senior Brother was actually trying to do.

"You must trust Senior Brother's judgment. If I say your body has an illness, then it definitely has an illness. Do not be ungrateful; I, Lu Chuan, do not heal just anyone," Lu Chuan said coldly.

Lu Chuan's words left everyone stunned, especially Tang Waner and the others, whose expressions changed; this was clearly bullying.

Originally, they had expressed great gratitude for the arrival of these Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, but after hearing these words, no one respected this Lu Chuan "Senior Brother" anymore.

"Senior Brother Lu Chuan, this Junior Sister does not think this Junior Brother's body has any problems. We have completed our mission and should return," it was clear that Qi Yue also saw through Lu Chuan's intentions.

Qi Yue was trying to give Lu Chuan a way to back down, but Lu Chuan shook his head and said, "When it comes to seniority, I actually entered the sect a month earlier than Junior Sister."

"So Junior Sister should trust Senior Brother's judgment. I am kindly trying to heal him, yet he is guarding against me; it is truly heartbreaking."

"Junior Brother, come over. Do not make things difficult for Senior Brother by forcing me to use harsh methods to subdue you; that would not be good."

Long Chen took a deep breath and looked at Lu Chuan with a sidelong glance; if he still didn't understand Lu Chuan's intentions at this point, he wouldn't be Long Chen.

This bastard actually wanted to show off his skills here, hoping to intimidate Tang Waner and regain the Face he had just lost.

If you want to show off, then go ahead, but dragging Long Chen into it made Long Chen quite unhappy.

"You had better not force me," Long Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lu Chuan indifferently.

Tang Waner and the others couldn't help but be startled. Whenever Long Chen wore such an indifferent expression, it usually signaled one thing: he was angry.

"Avoiding medical treatment is not a good thing. If you are sick, you should be treated; you cannot let bad habits develop, otherwise, it will be difficult to change later," a cold glint appeared in Lu Chuan's eyes as he spoke coldly.

"Are you sick in the head? If you want to show off in front of your Junior Brothers and Sisters, or find Face in front of a beauty, you shouldn't be picking on me, right?"

"It seems you are not only sick in the head, but your eyes aren't working well either. Are you blind? Do I really look that easy to bully?" Long Chen snorted coldly.

"Are you trying to provoke me?" Lu Chuan's Face darkened, and he slowly reached out his hand.

"Stop."

Qi Yue was shocked and was about to intervene, but unexpectedly, Tang Waner grabbed her: "Let them be."

She didn't know why, but she also disliked that Lu Chuan very much. Although he was a Senior Brother from the previous year, she felt that Long Chen would not be much worse than him; at the very least, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

She understood Long Chen's temper; this guy could eat anything, but he couldn't take a loss, so she might as well let him go.

"Provoke your mother? No, I just want to provoke you," Long Chen shook his head, correcting him.

"You are courting death."

With a cold shout, a vine suddenly appeared in Lu Chuan's hand, which he whipped towards Long Chen.

Long Chen sneered, waved his hand, grabbed the vine, and gave it a hard tug. Lu Chuan clearly underestimated Long Chen's strength and was sent flying directly towards him.

"Slap."

With a loud crack, Long Chen's large hand had already fiercely slapped Lu Chuan's Face, sending him flying backward.

The people on Tang Waner's side were fine, but Qi Yue's group all had their mouths wide open, their Faces filled with shock.

Although Qi Yue was their team leader and ranked first in terms of healing efficiency, when it came to combat power, Lu Chuan was the best.

Therefore, Lu Chuan being under Qi Yue's command made him somewhat unhappy, and he often deliberately caused trouble for Qi Yue. Qi Yue could do nothing but endure it.

This also gave Qi Yue a massive headache; her prestige as the captain was becoming weaker and weaker. Fortunately, the others understood her and were very cooperative.

Although they didn't like Lu Chuan, they had to admit that in terms of cultivation and combat power, Lu Chuan was the strongest person among them.

Yet, such a Tendon Tempering Realm expert was sent flying by a loud slap the moment he made a move, which shocked them greatly.

Lu Chuan was sent flying over ten zhang before landing in a sorry state and rolling a long distance before stopping. When he stood up again, a clear palm print was imprinted on his Face.

Feeling the burning pain on his Face and seeing the strange looks from the people around him, Lu Chuan immediately became ferocious.

"You are courting death."

Lu Chuan roared, and a wooden spear appeared in his hand. Although it looked like wood, it was covered with fine patterns, exuding a terrifying pressure and a sharp Aura that made people shiver. It was a Sharp Weapon harder than steel.

He shook the wooden spear, his Aura exploded, and he thrust it towards Long Chen. The terrifying force roared, causing people's eardrums to ache from the sound.

The spear aimed directly for Long Chen's heart, the momentum swift and ruthless, clearly wanting to take Long Chen's life. The speed was so fast that by the time everyone reacted, the spear had already pierced Long Chen.

"Long Chen!"

Tang Waner let out a cry of alarm, her Face pale with fright, but she suddenly discovered that the Long Chen who had been pierced by the spear had disappeared.

"An afterimage?"

Seeing the figure disappear before his eyes, Lu Chuan immediately felt something was wrong and was just about to make a move.

"Slap."

Another loud crack rang out. A large hand fiercely slapped his Face, and the violent force sent him flying.

The angle and posture were exactly the same as the first time he flew out, but the distance had changed significantly. This time, it wasn't an arc; it was a straight line.

"Boom."

Lu Chuan crashed into the stone wall behind him with a loud bang, causing everyone to shrink their necks; that impact was truly solid.

However, the stone wall was extremely sturdy, and Lu Chuan bounced back after hitting it.

"Puff."

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, mixed with several bloody teeth stained with flesh; looking at it made one's own teeth ache.

At the same time, they looked at Long Chen as if he were a monster. Was this really a newly recruited Disciple? This was too powerful; this wasn't a fight, this was clearly beating a child.

"Boss, mighty!"

A cheer burst out from the crowd. Guo Ran had been startled the first time, but this time he finally found the opportunity to cheer and root for Long Chen.

At this moment, Lu Chuan had a large handprint on each side of his Face, almost perfectly symmetrical, though one side of his Face was swollen high, looking extremely strange.

"Didn't you want to show off your superb combat power and exquisite medical skills? Now you have the chance," Long Chen looked at Lu Chuan coldly and said.

After Long Chen said this, Guo Ran and the others finally understood. So this guy wanted to use Long Chen as a test subject to show off his own talent.

Thinking back to how he had proactively offered to heal Tang Waner earlier, everyone finally realized the truth, and at the same time, they felt deep sympathy for this guy.

You could have picked anyone; there were seventy or eighty people here. You could have touched anyone else, but you had to pick Long Chen. Wasn't this just getting tired of living?

Long Chen's abnormal combat power had already exceeded the category of a monster; even those Elders were shocked. Weren't you just asking for bad luck?

Besides, considering the relationship between Tang Waner and Long Chen, using Long Chen as a sacrifice to curry favor with Tang Waner—Long Chen was absolutely right; you are sick in the head and blind. Didn't you see how close they were standing to each other?

For a moment, the whole scene was silent. Lu Chuan was a bit dazed from the beating and took a long while to react. Feeling the burning sensation on his Face, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he stared fixedly at Long Chen.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've been waiting for you for ages. Are you still going to perform or not? Could it be that a physician cannot heal himself? You can't perform?" Long Chen said impatiently.

"Hundred Vines Entrapment."

Lu Chuan suddenly let out a loud shout, and instantly, countless vines rushed out from his hands, like hundreds of venomous snakes pouncing towards Long Chen.

It all happened so suddenly that by the time everyone reacted, Long Chen had already been wrapped up by countless vines like a rice dumpling, firmly trapped, leaving only his head exposed.

Tang Waner and the others had never seen such a bizarre method of attack and stared blankly at Lu Chuan's hands.

Those vines actually flew out from Lu Chuan's flesh and blood. It was the first time everyone had seen a Wood Cultivator's attack, and they were all horrified.

To grow vines from one's own flesh and blood—this was even more bizarre than controlling any other power, making people's hearts chill.

Those vines were like an extension of Lu Chuan's body, freely controlled and as easy to use as one's own fingers. This ability exceeded everyone's imagination.

"Now you should shut up, you bastard."

Lu Chuan looked at Long Chen with a gloomy Face. The vines in his hands began to slowly contract and tighten frantically, wanting to bind Long Chen tighter and make it difficult for him to breathe.

Long Chen glanced indifferently at the surrounding vines and said, "Why should I shut up? I haven't lost any teeth; my mouth isn't whistling."

Everyone couldn't help but be startled. Long Chen was trapped so tightly, yet his mouth was still so tough. Was he not afraid of suffering?

Initially, Tang Waner was startled to see Long Chen trapped, but after remembering something, she slowly relaxed and watched with a smile.

"Your mouth is quite tough. Let's see how long you can remain so tough," Lu Chuan snorted coldly and exerted all his strength to drive the vines. Eventually, the vines emitted a creaking sound, obviously reaching some kind of limit.

Yet, Long Chen's expression remained normal throughout, looking at Long Chen with a faint mockery, not saying a word, just like watching a monkey show.

Lu Chuan's Face gradually changed color, especially those two palm prints, which became even more obvious, with even the palm lines clearly visible.

"I don't believe I can't strangle you to death."

Lu Chuan roared, his full Aura exploded, and all his spiritual energy was infused into those vines. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the vines grew a circle thicker, and their power became even more astonishing.

However, no matter how hard those vines tried, it was as if they had reached their limit and simply could not shrink any further.

The terror in Lu Chuan's eyes disappeared, replaced entirely by shock. One had to know that these vines were all condensed from his Origin power, and their toughness was stronger than steel wire ropes.

Let alone a flesh and blood body, even steel would have deformed long ago from being squeezed like this. Since Long Chen was still composed, it proved one thing: Long Chen's Physical Body was unimaginably powerful.

"Are you done playing? Can you put away your firewood now?" Long Chen looked at the shocked Lu Chuan and said.

Lu Chuan immediately reacted, put away his shocked expression, and snorted coldly: "You think I'm helpless just like this? You are too naive. I am going to slap your Face to shreds."

As Lu Chuan spoke, a vine as thick as a thumb suddenly extended from his palm. As soon as that vine appeared, it was raised high, like a whip controlled by someone, and whipped towards Long Chen's Face.
