Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes and sneered disdainfully, "A mere little tiger dares to attack me?"

At this moment, in the tiger's eyes, Zhao Chen was already a dead man.

However, this was the first time it had ever seen a human who did not dodge or flinch during its sudden attack.

Moreover, this human showed no signs of panic.

In its eyes, this human was clearly a fool.

Only a fool would be so reckless.

A gaping maw, enormous and blood-red, covered Zhao Chen's entire face and submerged his entire head.

In the eyes of this enormous tiger, Zhao Chen was already his meal.

However, the next second, the tiger's eyes widened, and its entire body was sent flying backward at incredible speed...

One second the tiger was full of life, and the next it became a gruesome corpse, not even knowing how it died.

Zhao Chen slowly withdrew his fist. No one could see how he threw the punch. Without any warning, he inexplicably killed the tiger.

Moreover, Zhao Chen maintained a calm and composed expression throughout, and then swaggered into the depths of the forest.

This is a very remote place called the Secluded Forest. According to the passerby, only by passing through this forest can one reach the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

The forest was vast, but for Zhao Chen, it was a different story.

With a single step, his entire body transformed into a blur of speed, rapidly moving towards the edge of the forest.

He traversed tens of thousands of miles of forest, and in no time, he reached the edge of the forest while running at full speed.

At this moment, Zhao Chen's vision suddenly opened up, and what came into view was a towering mountain range that reached into the clouds, covered with lush green trees.

Looking at the beautiful scenery before him, Zhao Chen was overjoyed.

"We've finally arrived!"

Zhao Chen quickly walked up to the top of the mountain.

Walking along the mountain path, surrounded by beautiful scenery, the air was so fresh that Zhao Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The mountain path is long, and every now and then you can see a few houses. The people are of different ages, some young and some old.

Everyone was dressed simply, and the houses were simple too. Everyone was doing their own work, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Seeing these people, Zhao Chen suddenly remembered that it was said that there were many hermits in the Zhongnan Mountain area who had seen through the world and went up the mountain to live a simple life.

"They are all highly skilled individuals."

Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Although these people looked unremarkable, Zhao Chen was a man of his word. He could tell at a glance that each of them possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, but they simply kept them hidden and were unwilling to reveal them.

People who are like this are often the ones who understand the value of being low-key.

Zhao Chen walked to the door of a house. There, an old man with a white beard and an air of otherworldly wisdom was practicing Tai Chi.

Upon seeing Zhao Chen arrive, the old man stopped what he was doing and gave Zhao Chen a friendly smile.

Zhao Chen smiled, clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, and said, "Sir, I have a question for you. Do you know the whereabouts of Dr. Liu Chuan?"

"Dr. Liu Chuan?" The old man looked surprised upon hearing this.

Clearly, he knew some inside information.

"What do you want with Dr. Liu Chuan?"

A hint of wariness appeared in the old man's eyes.

Zhao Chen naturally noticed this and said with a smile, "I came here because I want the doctor to help me build something. I have absolutely no ill intentions!"

Seeing Zhao Chen's serious expression, the old man's face finally softened a bit, but he still said warily, "We don't have any Dr. Liu Chuan here."

Zhao Chen naturally didn't believe the old man knew nothing.

From the old man's expression, Zhao Chen had already discerned something amiss, but he remained calm and said, "Grandpa, I'm really not a bad person. I wonder if you've ever heard of the name Zhao Chen?"

"Zhao Chen?"

Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, the old man trembled and then began to scrutinize Zhao Chen carefully.

His eyes were wide open as he stared at Zhao Chen, as if he were observing an alien.

After a long while, the old man suddenly exclaimed, "You are Zhao Chen! That's right, you are Zhao Chen!"

The old man's voice was loud, startling all the lay Buddhists. All the lay Buddhists nearby were stunned when they heard the name Zhao Chen.

Immediately, everyone put down what they were doing and rushed over here in a swarm.

Zhao Chen's fame was so great that even in such a remote place, his name was still widely known.

"Zhao Chen, you are the real person, aren't you? I never expected you to actually be here. Am I dreaming?"

"Yes! It's truly unbelievable that someone as important as you would appear here!"

"I've heard so much about you, but seeing you in person is truly amazing! Not only are you famous, but you're also incredibly handsome!"

"Hey boss, could you sign your name? Please sign your name..."

...

Zhao Chen glanced at the crowd and felt somewhat helpless.

Looks like I've been too high-profile again!

"Everyone, I know how much you admire me, but please don't act impulsively and be a rational fan!"

Zhao Chen said very rationally.

However, his words had no effect.

On the contrary, upon receiving Zhao Chen's personal admission, hundreds of people swarmed around him, trying to hold him tightly.

Because they really admired Zhao Chen so much.

How great were the glorious deeds Zhao Chen had performed in the past!

The excitement they felt upon seeing Zhao Chen (the money) was unimaginable.

Zhao Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "You people are really unreasonable!"

Zhao Chen mobilized his internal energy, and with a tremor of his body, he sent everyone around him flying.

They were like small fish and shrimp, easily defeated, lying on the ground groaning in pain.

Only the old man was not defeated.

The old man was so astonished by Zhao Chen's imposing presence that he couldn't close his mouth.

"How did you do that?" the old man asked, still dumbfounded.

But immediately, the old man knelt down before Zhao Chen: "Great God, I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have offended you before. I hope you will not hold it against me!"

Zhao Chen smiled and helped him up, saying, "Ignorance is no excuse, so I'll pardon you!"

"Thank you!"

The old man was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he immediately knelt down and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Chapter 1018 The Doctor Descends the Mountain

"Great hero, please accept me as your disciple! I will agree to any conditions!"

Suddenly, an old man who was kneeling and kowtowing spoke with tears streaming down his face.

As soon as the old man uttered those words, all the other old men around seemed to realize something and began to shout loudly.

"Take me as your disciple, great hero! Take me as your disciple!"

"Great hero, if you would accept me as your disciple, I would give you my daughter in marriage!"

"Great hero, my family has a lot of gold and silver treasures, which I can offer to you!"

"If you accept me as your apprentice, I will take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days..."

Suddenly, the scene became chaotic.

Zhao Chen never imagined that these elderly people would kneel before him and beg him so earnestly.

For a moment, I was at a loss for what to do.

"Gentlemen, I fully understand your admiration for the strong at this moment, but I have no intention of taking on any disciples."

"Besides, you are all reclusive masters, I absolutely cannot do such a thing."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, Zhao Chen transformed into an invisible afterimage and disappeared from the spot.

Only the dumbfounded old men were left behind.

Soon after, one by one, the elderly men let out sighs of disappointment.

They all felt they had missed 820 once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

Deep within a bamboo forest, Zhao Chen's expression remained completely calm.
