"What did you say? Wu Tian killed second-rank martial artists, and many more?"
Wang Libin's words were tinged with a hint of mockery and skepticism, and a sarcastic smile played at the corners of his mouth.
Ren Gang was indignant, practically spitting out the words through gritted teeth: "Yes! You know the Sun family that was wiped out, right? They were..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Tian calmly interrupted, his tone gentle yet firm: "Classmates, don't take it seriously. Gangzi is just talking nonsense. I don't have that kind of ability."
He remained calm and composed. Although he was not worried that Ren Gang would reveal the secret, he did not want to plant seeds of fear in the hearts of these students.
After all, the first and second-rank martial artists they spoke of were nothing more than dust in his hands, and hundreds of them could be easily wiped out with a single move.
Upon hearing this, Wang Libin burst into laughter, his laughter tinged with contempt: "Haha, I knew it! How could you possibly know the power of a martial artist? You can't just kill them whenever you want!"
In his eyes, Wu Tian was nothing more than a good-for-nothing young master from a fallen family, and the world of martial arts was probably just a distant illusion to him.
Wu Tian responded with a gentle smile: "Indeed, the path of martial arts is a mysterious realm that I can never reach. Please don't worry about it, continue..."
After saying that, he gently pulled Ren Gang to the edge of the crowd to prevent the guy from losing his temper again and getting involved in unnecessary disputes.
Ren Gang, however, was filled with resentment and anger: "Look at Wang Libin's smug look, why don't you clear your name? Just put that guy's arrogance to a halt."
In his view, Wu Tian had disliked Wang Libin's ostentatious behavior since they were in school, and now that Wang Libin was acting like a smug little man, Wu Tian should step in and suppress him.
Wu Tian chuckled, his words filled with reassurance: "Why bother with such a trivial matter? What business is it of ours if someone is just showing off?"
Ren Gang sighed heavily. He knew that Wu Tian's personality had changed after the family tragedy, and he could only obey Wu Tian.
Just then, Wen Yuan's voice rang out, speaking earnestly and solemnly: "Although I don't know if he is a martial artist, his medical skills are extraordinary and unmatched."
"Oh? Your medical skills are so advanced? Could they possibly surpass yours?" Wang Libin feigned surprise, but was actually testing him.
"Not only did they surpass me, they surpassed me by a great deal, far beyond what I could ever reach in my lifetime."
Wen Yuan's gaze was intense as she looked at Wu Tian, her eyes filled with admiration and respect. That trust and worship shone brightly among the crowd.
Wang Libin's expression darkened slightly; he hadn't expected Wen Yuan to have such a high opinion of Wu Tian.
It should be noted that Wen Yuan is considered a genius in the medical field, and her medical skills are already extraordinary. For Wu Tian to receive such praise from her, he is clearly far more than he appears on the surface.
Of course, what upset him was that Wen Yuan was his goddess, and her praising another man so highly made him very unhappy.
He curled his lip, trying to regain his composure by asserting the dignity of a martial artist. "Hmph! No matter how skilled you are in medicine, it's nothing but a side path. Martial artists are the true strongmen of this world."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wen Yuan angrily retorted, "While martial artists may hold an unshakeable position, everything in the world has its own path. Medicine is also about saving lives and healing the wounded, and its merits are immeasurable. Why should we distinguish between high and low, noble and base?"
Wen Yuan's answer showed both respect for martial arts practitioners and her love and dedication to medicine, which made everyone present nod in approval.
Wang Libin immediately realized his words were inappropriate and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation: "I...didn't mean it that way, but...I had doubts and was afraid he might be trying to deceive me."
Having run out of things to say, he reluctantly turned the topic to the innocent Wu Tian in an attempt to divert attention.
Unexpectedly, this only added fuel to the fire. Wen Yuan was furious. She gritted her teeth and retorted angrily, "Wang Libin, do you think I'm blind? I have personally witnessed Wu Tian's medical skills."
Ren Gang stepped forward at the opportune moment, offering his resounding support: "That's right. Wen Yuan once asserted that my father was beyond saving, but Wu Tian turned the tide, not only saving his life but also curing him on the spot."
Faced with Wen Yuan's anger, Wang Libin was initially at a loss, but Ren Gang's words were like a lifeline, instantly triggering his "reasoning mode".
He pretended to be profound and analyzed in a serious manner: "Everyone knows that Wu Tian and Ren Gang are friends. I think they must have joined forces to deceive you."
"Shut up!" Wen Yuan shouted angrily, her eyes flashing with an unyielding light. "I know Ren Gang's father's condition inside and out. The claim of collusion is pure nonsense!"
Seeing Wen Yuan's anger, He Yi intervened and gently advised, "Wen Yuan, don't get so angry. Don't let trivial matters hurt the feelings between classmates."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Though her tone was soft, it was firm: "Teacher He is right. However, I have witnessed Wu Tian's superb medical skills and have no doubt about them."
In her eyes, He Yi read an unprecedented trust and determination—Wu Tian had become her faith.
Wang Libin's questioning is tantamount to a provocation against her beliefs.
He Yi understood immediately, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "In that case, why don't we try a different approach and let Wu Tian prove his strength with concrete actions?"
“Yes, let the facts speak for themselves.” Ren Gang immediately agreed, his eyes flashing with determination. “We can have A-Tian prove it.”
He had great trust in Wu Tian's medical skills.
Wu Tian was able to prove his strength, and he felt that he also had a sense of pride.
Although Wang Libin was still unwilling, he had to admit that it was a fair solution.
He forced a smile and said in a feignedly magnanimous tone, "Since that's the case, let's do it that way. But how do we prove it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Jiang Xiaolong said, "Imagine, if Wu Tian's medical skills are truly as extraordinary as rumored, why not let him try and heal your leg ailment that has lasted for so many years?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Libin laughed heartily and echoed, his words carrying a hint of teasing and anticipation: "This is a good idea. If Wu Tian can cure Teacher He's leg immediately, it will not only prove his medical skills but also help Teacher He relieve his pain, which is a win-win situation."
However, He Yi hurriedly waved his hand, a hint of helplessness and determination flashing in his eyes: "This method won't work. My leg is a chronic ailment that has been difficult to treat by countless famous doctors. Only Wen Yuan's treatment can alleviate the pain, and there is no hope of a complete cure."
“It is precisely because it is more difficult to treat that it proves even more that A-Tian’s medical skills are superb.” Wu Tian interjected at the right time, his tone revealing an undeniable confidence.
In his view, Wu Tian was able to save his father from the brink of death, so curing He Yi's legs would naturally be a piece of cake; this belief was as firm as a rock.
Upon hearing this, Wang Libin seemed to have found a compelling argument and eagerly pressed on, "That makes perfect sense! Since Wen Yuan can alleviate the symptoms, then Wu Tian, whose medical skills are even superior, can certainly cure her completely, right? Wu Tian, what do you say?"
Faced with Wang Libin's provocation, Wu Tian smiled calmly and said in a gentle but firm tone, "There's no need for everyone to argue. I really can't help Teacher He with his leg ailment."
