The Second Flight — Chapter 79: Power Stagnation is Also an Illness

  Looking at Dongfang Yijian and Kong Wenhao, one was dazed and distracted, while the other looked depressed.

  A great hero's final path, a generation of strong martial artists, facing the impending death may not be feared, but the efforts of a hundred years can't break through the greatest dream of life, this kind of loss is hard for anyone to bear.

  At this time, Kung Chia had brought a brand new set of clothes, a brand new sportswear. Wen Tao and Kung Chia were about the same size, and the sportswear was casual, so Wen Tao changed into it directly.

  "Kong Jie, being able to make friends like this is a blessing for your whole life. From now on, learn more from Wen Tao."

  When Kong Wen Hao gave such instructions, Kong Jie hastily responded. He only thought that Kong Wen Hao was saying this because of the strength shown by Wen Tao earlier and didn't think much about it. Because in the eyes of several generations of the Kong family, Kong Wen Hao is like an old immortal, always being the spiritual pillar of the Kong family.

  The four of them sat back in the pavilion, but suddenly the atmosphere became very strange, and everyone suddenly fell silent.

  Wen Tao didn't like this situation either, he disliked it very much. Originally, he was thinking of ways to help them improve without letting them know, but now it seems that it's better to let the two old men have a breakthrough as soon as possible.

  After all, if they reach this point and their mental state is severely impacted at the last moment, even if they help them reach the Innate Seventh Level Martial Realm, it will be difficult for them to make a breakthrough in the future.

  At this thought, Wentao immediately looked towards Dongfang Yijian, who had just compared with him and broke through at this point.

  "Eastern Grandpa, I just exchanged blows with you. I found that although your strength is very powerful, your physical condition isn't very good. It seems like there are signs of decline."

  As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Yijian and Kong Wenhao's faces both changed color.

  "How did you sense it?" Dongfang Yijian was now thoroughly intimidated by Wentai's mysteriousness and his extraordinary abilities.

  Wen Tao smiled confidently: "You forgot what I do, I'm a doctor. Just now when we fought, I found that although your strength has reached the peak of a pre-heavenly sixth-level strongman, your body is starting to decline. If it doesn't improve, you have at most ten years left."

  Doctor? A doctor would know all this just by touching his hand, and even an ordinary person wouldn't believe it. But Wentai never said he was an ordinary doctor, and now that Wentai is full of mystery from head to toe, Dongfang Yijian and Kong Wenhao didn't pursue the matter further.

  "With the power of a congenital sixth-level warrior, we've been barely holding on until now. What you said is right, within ten years, if we don't break through to a congenital seventh-level strongman, our strength won't undergo a qualitative change and we'll... decline and die." Kong Wenhao let out a faint sigh, speaking the truth.

  "Great Grandfather..." Only then did Kong Jie realize that he himself didn't know.

  Kong Wenhao patted Kong Jie's shoulder and said, "Silly child, what's there to be excited about? Your great-grandfather has lived for so many years, the two words 'life' and 'death' have long been taken lightly, it's just that I'm not reconciled to it!!!"

  Dongfang Yijian also nodded and said: "You and I both thought our own way was right back then. You cultivated quietly, while I fought to increase my strength, but in the end, we were both wrong."

  "You're all right." Wentao said on the side: "Isn't there a saying that all roads lead to Rome? The path of martial arts is also like this, both Taigong and Dongfang are unparalleled heroes in the world of martial arts, the paths you've taken are all correct."

  Looking at their inquiring and puzzled gaze, Wentao explained simply: "Actually, this problem can be linked to the first question, that is, some of the power I used to seal the two people from the Wang family. This power I temporarily cannot use much, I said earlier that the nature is different, you may not understand yet. In fact, from breaking through from a pre-heavenly sixth-level warrior to a pre-heavenly seventh-level warrior, it's just such a change in the quality of power. And why Grandpa Taishan and Grandpa Dongfang can't reach it, it's not because of your own problems, but because of the problem of the larger environment."

  Dongfang Yijian wondered, "What does the overall situation have to do with our own strength?"

  Wen Tao smiled and said, "The relationship is quite great, think about it, in the past hundred years or so, has there ever been a congenital seventh-level martial artist in the martial arts world? And among those super masters of the past, like your kind of ancient and prestigious families, I'm afraid they must have appeared before."

  Kong Wenhao nodded and said, "Indeed, my Kong family has produced a total of 17 congenital seventh-level strongmen throughout the generations, nearly a hundred congenital sixth-level strongmen. However, in the past two hundred years, there have been no more congenital seventh-level strongmen, and only I and one deceased elder have reached the level of congenital sixth-level strongmen."

  "The reason for this situation is that when one reaches the Innate Sixth Level, a certain power is required, and to break through from the Innate Sixth Level to the Innate Seventh Level, even more of this power is needed. This power exists between heaven and earth, which is the spiritual energy between heaven and earth."

  Kong Jie still didn't know, but Dongfang Yijian and Kong Wenhao's faces finally couldn't control their surprise at this time.

  "You... aren't..."

  Before Dongfang Yijian finished speaking, Wentao was already shaking his head with a smile.

  "I'm just a martial artist from a foreign land with a natural talent, but I know more than that, and as a doctor, I have a much deeper understanding of the human body."

  Dongfang Yijian and Kong Wenhao exchanged a glance, both of them knowing that the cultivator existed. After some thought, they realized that Wentai's behavior was indeed not like that of a cultivator. But apart from a cultivator, who else could be so formidable?

  Wen Tao continued: "Because of the thinness of the spiritual energy, it is even more difficult for you to enter the Xiantian 7th level martial artist realm, and it has little to do with your own reasons."

  "Kong Jie looked at Wen Tao, originally with Kong Wenhao and Dongfang Yijian around, there was no room for Kong Jie to speak, he had always been honest on the side, but now he must speak: "Do you have a way?""

  Kong Jie looked at Wen Tao with expectant eyes, he had brought himself too many machines, and Kong Jie was also very clever. Wen Tao's tone just now was so relaxed, maybe... maybe he really could find a way.

  "No problem." Wentao smiled confidently: "I am a doctor, if the patient is ill, I will naturally treat him."

  "Really... Wentao... you..." Kong Jie excitedly stood up, his hand on the stone table, so excited that he didn't know what to say.

  The doctor... At first, he didn't react, but Kong Wenhao and Dongfang Yijian soon reacted. Just now, Wentao had said that they only had a chance if they broke through the sixth level of Xiantian martial arts and reached the seventh level of Xiantian martial arts. Then what he said about treating...

  "Hold on, don't get excited, go prepare some tools first." Seeing Kong Jie's excited look at this time, Wen Tao instead looked up to him even more. It seems that Kong Jie has a greater future ahead of him. Because Wen Tao had played chess with him and compared martial arts with him, he was calm and composed when playing chess, unaffected by external influences, and brave and powerful in battle. Adding his reaction now when his loved ones have something going on, truly accomplished people are indeed this kind of person.

  Kong Jie nodded vigorously: "What do you want? You say it, I'll prepare it now."

  "It's simple, just prepare some firewood. Just burn a bit will do. Then get a pot for stewing medicine, and two bowls with some water, I'll make some medicinal soup for Grandpa Tai and Grandpa Dongfang to supplement their nutrition."

  If someone else had said that, they would have been kicked out for being abnormal. But when Wentai said it, no one dared to take it as a joke.

  Although I don't know how it became a nutritional supplement in my heart, I also believe it very much.

  "No problem, I'll go now." Kong Jie immediately prepared and even used his strongest light skill to leave from here, flashing out like a swan.

  Wen Tao ignored the astonished gaze of Dongfang Yijian and Kong Wen Hao, and directly found a quiet place for them to start meditating with their eyes closed, circulating their true energy according to their usual method. As soon as they sat down, the seven spiritual energy needles that had just condensed in Wen Tao's hand were injected into their acupoints, a total of fourteen spiritual energy needles, making Wen Tao more exhausted than when he had barely blocked Dongfang Yijian's full-strength attack earlier.

  With this guidance and gathering of spiritual energy, it's easy for them to break through to the seventh level of Xiantian martial artist as long as they supplement their spiritual energy.

  At this time, there was no one else. Wentai took out a lot of herbs from the storage ring. The herbs in the secular world were not good enough, and they were all from Mount Shu. There were also many herbs in Mount Shu that were the same as those in the secular world, but the medicinal power and spiritual energy contained within them were stronger. Wentai picked some that he could grasp the properties of.

  As for the elixirs in his ring, they are not something that Kong Wen Hao and the others can enjoy at present.

  Kong Jie quickly brought all the things that Wentao wanted and saw a pile of herbs in front of him.

  "Wen Tao, where did you get so many herbs from?"

  "Mountain picked." Wentao is adjusting medicine without raising his head.

  What was picked from the mountain? Kong Jie couldn't help but laugh and cry, as there didn't seem to be any mountains around his house within a few hundred miles. Moreover, these medicinal herbs had a strong smell that couldn't be concealed even if they were wrapped up. And besides, he hadn't seen Wentai carrying anything earlier!!

  However, seeing Wén Tāo preparing medicine, Kǒng Jié didn't dare to disturb him. After a minute or so, Wén Tāo pushed the two piles of medicine over to Kǒng Jié.

  "Three bowls of water boiled down to one bowl, and was given to two old gentlemen to drink."

  "What's next?" Kong Jie saw Wentai getting up and about to leave, and hastily asked.

  "Nothing else, just finish taking the medicine and get better."

  "Is... that it?" Kong Jie looked at the two small piles of herbs, finding it hard to believe that this was all there was. After all, his great-grandfather and East Great-Grandfather had entered the Pre-Heaven Six-Level strongman realm over fifty years ago, and for fifty years they had been trying to break through.

  "Right, I almost forgot to mention it." Wentao, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Kong Jie with a serious expression: "Familiarity breeds familiarity, but the consultation fee can't be waived. Besides, your two families are so wealthy that it's unavoidable to take advantage of you. Others pay one share, this time it will probably cost several tens of thousands more than usual!!!"

  "As long as Grandpa can break through, whatever the Kong family has is fine." He's even stronger than his own grandfather and Dongfang Grandfather, making it difficult for people to guess what he'll do next. With immense power, he still practices medicine and charges a consultation fee, which he doesn't need.

  "Remember, make me a brocade flag that can fill a hundred square meters. Remember, the words on top cannot be repeated." With that, Wentao had already stepped away, and the house was filled with brocade flags. I wonder what expression Lin Ruxue will have when she sees it. Hehe...

  Kong Jie Leng is there, brocade flag? Didn't mishear it myself.

  "Alright, alright......" Wang Ningxuan sighed in frustration as he heard his subordinate report that Wentai had already left the Kong family mansion.

  In the end, he still didn't make a move. Firstly, he wasn't confident that he could quickly gather enough power in Shanghai to take them down in one go, and the Kong family's defenses were extremely strong. He had to deal with two martial artists who were already at the sixth level of innate mastery fifty years ago, as well as a mysterious guy.

  Most importantly, he didn't manage to extricate himself cleanly from this matter afterwards.

  To know the magnitude of the power of the Kong and Dongfang families, it's not that killing Kong Jie and Kong Wenhao would allow the Dongfang to resolve everything with just one sword. If they were to be discovered by them, then both oneself and the entire Wang family would find it difficult to meet a good end.

  Wang Ningxuan is not a simple and impulsive person, otherwise he wouldn't have made it this far.

  Power, power, the royal family's power is still not enough. If it were like the Kong and Dongfang families, maybe today I could become the greatest power in one move.

  Wang Ningxuan's heart was filled with hatred, but he could also position himself correctly. For the time being, he could only develop under the shadow of the Kong and Dongfang families, waiting for an opportunity.

  However, Wen Tao cannot be spared. Thinking of Wen Tao makes Wang Ningxuan's face abnormal. Although the Wang family is not short of a Wang Botao, Wang Botao is his most beloved son and has been abolished, so he must kill Wen Tao.
