Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 177 The Young Medicine King
Did Gao Wu win or not?

"Gao Wu has fought eight matches in a row; a draw would mean he's won!"

"What's the point of winning? The opponent is a martial arts master. If we continue fighting, we'll definitely lose."

"He's just a samurai, yet he can hold his own against a martial arts master and even gain the upper hand. He's won so badly!"

"He's only eighteen, I think. That's fucking amazing. How do you think he trained?"

"That last strike was truly amazing; it almost blew the martial arts hall to smithereens!"

As the audience left through the aisle, they were all discussing today's match. They each had their own opinions on Gao Wu's victory or defeat, but they all agreed that Gao Wu was truly amazing!
Bai Yushuang looked down at her toes as she slowly moved forward in the crowd, listening to the discussions around her, her feelings became even more complicated.

A few months ago, she was able to compete with Gao Wu on the same stage, and everyone recognized them as opponents of the same level.

Several months passed, and she practiced diligently every day without daring to slack off, all in the hope of catching up with Gao Wu and washing away the shame of her defeat.

As a result, Gao Wu advanced faster and higher, sweeping away a group of warriors, including Wan Muchun, who was recognized as the number one in the academy, and was easily defeated by him.

The most terrifying thing is that a high-level martial artist can also fight against a martial arts master!
Ordinary viewers don't really have much insight or knowledge. The sudden end of the battle didn't mean that Gao Wu was going to lose, but rather that Gao Wu had gained a clear advantage.

If they continue fighting, they are very likely to win. At the age of eighteen, they have already defeated a powerful martial arts master, which is too much of a show of strength. This is definitely not a good thing for Gaowu.

The masters must have taken this into consideration when they ended the match.

Bai Yushuang was truly in despair. She lowered her head and thought for a while before asking Bai Yucheng beside her, "Third Brother, does Gao Wu have 10,000 source energy points?"

"Got it. The final blow is so fierce, it'll blow the arena to smithereens." Bai Yucheng was secretly relieved that Gao Wu had been kind enough not to kill him with a single palm strike right away.

He said with a wry smile, "Luckily I didn't show off on the Longmen Bridge, otherwise today would be my death anniversary..."

Bai Yushuang rolled her eyes at Bai Yucheng, annoyed. This joke wasn't funny at all.

Bai Dishan and Yuan Qiansheng, who were standing to the side, were also dejected, as were the young geniuses Yan Shanyue and others who were not far away. They all looked disheveled.

As Bai Yushuang stepped out of the martial arts hall, she saw that the sky was overcast and the wind was chilling.

Bai Yucheng pointed to the sky and said, "High martial arts are like dark clouds in the sky!"

"Third Brother, are you trying to say that the dark clouds will be blown away by the wind and the sun will still rise tomorrow? What's the use of that..." Bai Yushuang looked helpless. She was now disgusted by this kind of motivational talk!
"No, I mean Gaowu is like a dark cloud looming over the sky, becoming a nightmare you can't shake off."

Bai Yucheng suddenly laughed: "And me, I'll be graduating and leaving school next May, hahaha..."

The boys looked at Bai Yucheng, who was acting somewhat erratically, and all of them had the same thought: "If only we could gag him!"

Gao Wu couldn't hear Bai Yucheng's words, otherwise he would have given Bai Yucheng a thumbs up; he was a very good straight man...

He was currently busy trying to get close to the three grandmasters. Among the three big shots, Bai Yunfei had the best temperament, being kind, gentle, and sincere to people.

Han Yujun was elegant, witty, and approachable—a very strong and friendly person. However, Gao Wu could sense an underlying indifference and detachment towards people and things, like a socially adept version of Xiao Song, only very well disguised.

Although Wang Tianyin had a cold and aloof attitude, he was straightforward and honest, making him easy to get along with.

The three of them treated Gao Wu well, and agreed with him that each of them would teach for seven days, and determined the order and time.

The three masters quickly left with their disciples, leaving only the staff cleaning up the huge martial arts hall.

Zhou Hongying and Shang Qingjun also took Shen Yue to Tsinghua University first, and they all agreed to have dinner together that evening to celebrate.

Lu Yuan sat in his chair, looking at the dilapidated arena. His expression was somewhat complicated, as if he was recalling something from the past.

Gao Wu sensed the old man might be thinking of his old flame. He gently tugged at Xiao Song's hand, secretly pleased with himself: "I'm still the best. I'm young and successful, and I still have Xiao Song. I can touch her whenever I want, it's so nice..."

Song Mingyue didn't know why Gao Wu wanted to hold her hand, but she didn't object; it seemed fine this way.

Lu Yuan noticed their subtle movements and said calmly, "You two should go back first."

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue bowed and walked out hand in hand.

"Wait."

Lu Yuan suddenly called out to Gao Wu: "Remember to pay a one million fine."

"Huh?" Gao Wu was a little confused. Why did the old man suddenly say something like that?

"It was agreed when the arena was built that anyone who damages it will be fined one million," Lu Yuan casually explained, then waved for Gao Wu to leave.

When they arrived at the entrance of the private room at Tsinghua University, Gao Wu suddenly said to Song Mingyue, "Is Master Lu envious of me? Is that why he's making me pay a fine?"

Song Mingyue looked at Gao Wu quietly and said softly, "You waited until now to say it because you were afraid my master would hear?"

"Yes," Gao Wu honestly admitted.

"Master is very good, please don't speak ill of him," Song Mingyue said softly.

"Would you tell on me?" Gao Wu asked with a wicked grin.

"No," Song Mingyue shook her head slightly, "but I'll feel uncomfortable." "Cute little baby." Gao Wu looked at Song Mingyue's pink lips and swallowed for some reason.

Fortunately, the people inside heard the voices, and Zhou Hongying hurriedly ran over to open the door, preventing Gao Wu from making a mistake.

Zhou Hongying wore a high-necked royal blue fitted sweater. This kind of sweater is very selective in terms of who can wear it. You need to have a long neck and elegant lines, and a full but not exaggerated chest. However, Zhou Hongying wore it with a beautiful and charming look.

The fitted jeans and boots accentuated her waist, hips, and leg curves.

It must be said that Zhou Hongying has great taste in clothing, but unlike Song Mingyue's aloof style, she goes for a fashionable and sexy look, which is very charming.

In this respect, Shang Qingjun was quite ordinary, her attire being too simple and plain.

Zhou Hongying looked at Gao Wu with a beaming smile, her bright eyes shining with joy: "Come in quickly, we've been waiting for you..."

Gao Wu's gaze inadvertently lingered on Zhou Hongying; she was indeed beautiful. He then reminded himself not to be so cowardly; if he wanted to look, he should do it openly and honestly, instead of sneaking around like that.

Upon entering the private room, Shen Yue excitedly approached Gao Wu and hugged him, exclaiming, "You're awesome! Brother Gao, I'll be your man for life!"

Gao Wu originally wanted to make a couple of jokes, but then he remembered that there were several beautiful women present, and he couldn't let Lao Shen lose face.

Besides, this isn't high school anymore. Old Shen is basically living off him now, so some jokes can't be made carelessly, as they could easily hurt Old Shen's pride.

He gently patted Shen Yue's back: "A hug is enough. Our embraces aren't for men!"

In front of several beautiful women, even Shen Yue, who was usually thick-skinned, blushed a little. He laughed and scolded, "You vain thing! Who wants to hug you..."

Shang Qingjun and Zhou Hongying were both laughing. Shang Qingjun said, "Stop joking, everyone sit down. Today we're having a celebratory dinner to celebrate Xiao Wu's great victory!"

The people present were all senior executives of Sunshine Media Company, but there were only a few of them in the company.

Fortunately, the company's business is very simple; the most troublesome thing is actually the business cooperation with Longteng Company.

Longteng Company was also very cooperative, and the cooperation in all aspects went quite smoothly. With Shang Qingjun and Zhou Hongying's abilities, handling the situation wasn't too difficult.

In short, the company's foundation lies in Gaowu. As Gaowu thrives, the company's success will follow suit.

Everyone was very happy at the gathering, not only because Gao Wu won, but also because Longteng Company gave out money, and everyone on site received a bonus.

According to the endorsement contract, the King of Youth receives a percentage of sales revenue; the higher the sales, the higher the percentage. This generous offer is only possible because Song Yunkun was the organizer in charge.

As Gao Wu's popularity soared, he became the true King of the Northern Continent's youth. The money he could earn from this contract also increased. The fact that such a large sum could be paid so readily was thanks to someone who could help him.

Gao Wu received the most; after deducting the money he borrowed from Longteng, he still received over 30 million. The others each received one or two million.

Even Xiao Song had a relaxed and cheerful expression. Clearly, nobody dislikes money…

The next day, Gao Wu and Xiao Song went to pay their respects to Lu Yuan, mainly to ask him some questions, such as what the masters were like, and whether there were any taboos.

“These are all minor matters. Those are grandmasters; they won’t bother with the details.”

Lu Yuan said, "You'll be learning from these masters. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you don't understand something. This is a rare opportunity; once it's gone, it'll be gone forever."

He added, "I see that your source aperture is stable and powerful, and your source energy is abundant. However, you ultimately failed to connect it from front to back and run it through your entire body, so you are still at a disadvantage in the circulation of source energy."

"Your physical and mental strength are both very strong, and you have a solid foundation. If you can gain some insights from the three Grandmasters, it will help you quickly condense your Origin Aperture. Advancing to Martial Master in a short period of time is not impossible..."

Lu Yuan had high hopes for Gao Wu, believing that Gao Wu still had enormous untapped potential.

Based on their current form, it's unlikely they can dominate the Azure Dragon Cup.

Gao Wu said cautiously, "Master Lu, I would like to use my academy reward points in advance to purchase ten bottles of premium Vajra Elixir."

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Gao Wu explained, "I decided to take the risk because of the Azure Dragon Cup!"

“Special Grade Vajra Elixir…” Lu Yuan pondered. He knew that Gao Wu’s physique was special and he didn’t know how many elixirs he had been injected with along the way.

Privately, many people call Gao Wu the "Young Medicine King," which is quite a funny nickname.

As far as he knew, Gao Wu had only received twenty or thirty injections of high-grade medicine. Looking at Gao Wu's physical condition, he was full of vitality, like the rising sun, and there was no sign of any negative effects from the medicine. In fact, the serious injuries he had suffered just a few days ago had already healed.

Such a powerful physique is, frankly, completely defies common sense. Sometimes, Lu Yuan even considered dissecting Gao Wu for research…

The old man thought for a while before saying, "Top-grade potions are meant for martial artists at the Martial Master level. To ensure their effectiveness, they retain a lot of exotic beast genes. The negative effects are extremely severe."

“In the past, martial arts practitioners often underwent physical mutations after being injected with drugs, turning into a half-human, half-beast form and almost losing their intelligence and memory.”

"How about we borrow two in advance to try it out...?"

Gao Wu nodded vigorously: "Master Lu is wise. I will follow Master Lu's arrangements."

Although Lu Yuan was aloof, he couldn't help but laugh. Applying for the potion for this kid was brilliant; not applying would have been foolish!
