Qin Hui recovered relatively quickly from his coma this time, as Elder Sun’s strike primarily injured Qin Hui’s ribs. This was an internal injury, more difficult to heal than an external one.
It would be difficult to recover in the short term.
“Xiao Hui, we’ve identified them as members of the Sun family. Should we notify the police to have them arrested?”
Chen Jiaxue asked, her voice full of worry. She had been keeping this matter a secret because involving ordinary law enforcement in matters concerning martial artists would complicate things.
“No need. Even if we notify the police, they won’t be able to do anything to the Sun family. Besides, they’ve likely already left Jiangnan Province by now.”
Qin Hui waved his hand, his face a little pale.
Qin Hui knew that Elder Sun hadn’t killed him for a deeper reason. It was impossible for him to fully recover before the martial artist finals given his severe injuries, unless he encountered some fortunate opportunity.
Thinking about it, Elder Sun must have been waiting for such a moment.
“Alright, don’t go anywhere these days. Stay here and recuperate.”
“Don’t worry, I haven’t informed anyone about your injuries.”
Chen Jiaxue said calmly. Having experienced many assassination attempts by martial artists during their time together, Chen Jiaxue knew it was best to remain inconspicuous.
If news of Qin Hui’s injuries got out, it would inevitably attract unnecessary trouble.
“Mmm, you did well.”
Qin Hui nodded slightly, allowing him to recuperate with peace of mind.
Of course, Qin Hui had no intention of letting the Sun family’s actions go unpunished. Since the Sun family wanted to eliminate him during the martial artist competition, Qin Hui would retaliate in kind, making them understand the consequences of offending him.
In essence, Qin Hui and the Sun family had forged an unresolvable feud.
For the next few days, Qin Hui obediently lay in the hospital room recuperating. As a doctor himself, Qin Hui knew how to care for his injuries.
Within a few days, Qin Hui was able to get out of bed and walk. The only pity was that the internal injuries still persisted, requiring a long time to heal.
This wasn’t the main issue. The key problem was that for a martial artist, stagnation meant regression. During this period, Qin Hui was unable to cultivate, and even if he did, the results would not be good.
This was Elder Sun’s shrewdness; in this way, Qin Hui had become a cripple.
A cripple was far more tormenting than a dead man.
Although Qin Hui could refine many elixirs, he couldn’t refine one to heal his own body. He wasn't omnipotent and had his own limitations.
The only way for Qin Hui to turn the tables now was that pearl scallop. If it could cause the little lizard to mutate, it was enough to prove its power. Only by obtaining that pearl and refining it could Qin Hui’s injuries be completely reversed!
Two days later, at the training ground on the outskirts.
Ten martial artists stood in neat formation, being reviewed by Qin Hui. As for Li Dazhuang, he had broken through to the second level of martial artist during this time, a significant improvement.
These ten martial artists had just broken through, with the better ones already touching the peak of the first level.
The only thing that disappointed Qin Hui was the confident smiles on these martial artists’ faces.
Indeed, martial artists were extremely powerful beings, and it was natural for them to be confident, as this was a sign of superiority over others.
However, this was precisely what worried Qin Hui the most. In Qin Hui’s view, these newly breakthrough martial artists were like flowers in a greenhouse.
They were not inherently strong, yet they were confident, which was undoubtedly arrogance. If they truly encountered a battle between martial artists, they would likely die miserably.
“Although you are already very strong, in my eyes, you are nothing.”
Qin Hui said coldly.
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone’s heads.
As proud and confident martial artists, they found Qin Hui’s humiliation unbearable. However, due to Qin Hui’s influence, they could only suppress their feelings.
Although no one stood up to oppose him, Qin Hui knew that if he didn’t demonstrate his skills today, these people would remain overly confident.
“If you are not convinced, you can all challenge me. As long as you can withstand one of my moves, I will retract my words.”
Qin Hui said calmly. If he wanted them to submit, he had to make them step forward.
Upon hearing this, Li Dazhuang’s expression immediately changed. He was about to stop Qin Hui but was held back by Qin Hui, as he knew Qin Hui was seriously injured, and any accident during sparring would be troublesome.
“Sparring, to the point of victory!”
Although Qin Hui blocked him, Li Dazhuang still couldn’t help but remind him.
As soon as Li Dazhuang finished speaking, several people stepped forward. They were naturally unconvinced by Qin Hui’s previous statement.
“Brother Qin, please excuse our lack of restraint.”
The leading martial artist charged directly at Qin Hui, clenching his fist and unleashing a powerful punch.
Since Qin Hui had said he would finish them in one move, they naturally had to give it their all to see if Qin Hui truly possessed such ability.
Qin Hui smiled coldly and met the punch decisively. Although he was severely injured by Elder Sun, Qin Hui still had at least thirty percent of his strength, which was enough to heavily injure them.
Bang!
Their fists collided directly.
A sonic boom immediately erupted in everyone’s ears.
However, as the sound faded, the martial artist was sent flying backward, completely unable to withstand Qin Hui’s punch!
Seeing this, the other two martial artists were stunned. However, they gritted their teeth and charged at Qin Hui again, refusing to believe that Qin Hui could repel both of them simultaneously.
Bang, bang!
Another two loud bangs.
Without any surprise, these two martial artists were sent flying backward, unable to even withstand one of Qin Hui’s moves.
Witnessing this scene, the remaining martial artists looked at each other. They truly didn’t expect Qin Hui to be so powerful that he could subdue them all in one move.
“Is there anyone else who wants to step forward?”
Qin Hui asked calmly.
The scene was silent. Everyone knew Qin Hui’s power, and stepping forward now would be asking for trouble, and more importantly, they couldn’t win.
Compared to before, the martial artists had completely lost their arrogant and overconfident demeanor.
What Qin Hui wanted to do was simple: make them understand the concept of "there is always someone better." Only then could they continue to grow stronger.
Otherwise, the path they had chosen as martial artists was equivalent to a path leading to death.
“I know many of you are still unconvinced. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities. When you become stronger, you can seek opportunities to fight me again. Only when you can defeat me will you have the right to be arrogant and conceited; otherwise, you are simply fools.”
Qin Hui added.
Qin Hui’s words were colder than cold water, directly impacting everyone’s confidence. However, soon everyone’s fighting spirit was rekindled. As martial artists, they naturally wanted to surpass Qin Hui, not for anyone else, but for their own pride.
Seeing that everyone had regained their confidence, Qin Hui was finally satisfied. Qin Hui was not afraid of striking them down, but he feared they would lose the confidence to stand up again.
That would be the most tragic outcome.
