Chapter 195: 沈洪的奇葩治疗方法

"Shen Zhui, what did you feed me?"

Feeling an uncontainable heat and an infuriating sensation spreading through his body, Shen Hong finally realized something was wrong and roared.

"It's... medicine..."

Shen Zhui could only answer truthfully.

"Medicine? What the hell..."

Shen Hong stumbled.

He had seen people trick their fathers, trick their mothers, but never trick their grandfathers. Giving medicine to his own grandfather—was Shen Zhui trying to kill him? Shen Hong felt like he was going insane.

"Ancestor, don't blame me, it was Master Yang who told me to do this; I had no choice..."

Emperor Shen Zhui was almost in tears. He already had a phobia from force-feeding the ancestor earlier, which almost killed him. Now he was being cursed out like a dog. Who did he offend? He just wanted the ancestor to live longer! Now, his good intentions had turned into this...

"Master Yang?"

Shen Hong's eyes were bloodshot, and he forcefully suppressed the agitation in his heart. He glanced at Zhang Xuan, who was not far away, seeing his composed and untroubled expression. Then he turned back and slapped Emperor Shen Zhui across the face: "You're talking nonsense! Master Yang is a dignified and noble master; how could he possibly give me something like this? If you dare to slander Master Yang again, believe it or not, I'll crush you right now!"

"..." Shen Zhui was speechless.

Noble and dignified? Where was he noble? Didn't he just slap you unconscious? And slandering him... Would he dare give this stuff to Shen Hong if he hadn't been ordered to? Emperor Shen Zhui felt so wronged he wanted to vomit blood.

He looked up at Master Yang, who was not far away, hoping he would offer an explanation. However, he saw the man with his hands clasped behind his back, looking casually at the ceiling, appearing nonchalant and oblivious to everything. It was as if he was saying, "You did all these things; I know nothing about them..."

"You little beast, I pampered you so much back then... Oh, I can't take it anymore, don't stop me..."

Ancestor Shen Hong cursed and could no longer withstand the burning heat in his chest. With a wolf-like howl, he lunged towards the many beautiful women swaying before him. Before he could take two steps, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck.

*Thud!*

He collapsed to the ground, unconscious once again.

It was still Zhang Xuan who had struck. Seeing the ancestor knocked out again, Emperor Shen Zhui breathed a sigh of relief. "Master Yang, what should we do next?"

"Wake him up, then have these dancers continue performing in front of him..."

Zhang Xuan instructed.

"Continue?"

Emperor Shen Zhui's lips trembled.

"Oh, right. When he wakes up, tell him you were the one who knocked him out just now. Also, if you see him losing control of his emotions again later, knock him out again. But don't you strike; let me do it. Of course, you must admit to him that you were the one who hit him..." Zhang Xuan said.

"..." Emperor Shen Zhui was speechless.

Waking him up just to knock him out again—were you addicted, or what? The most crucial part was... making him admit he was the one who did it... Emperor Shen Zhui felt exasperated and was about to refuse when he saw Master Yang across from him looking at him with a serious expression.

"Don't refuse. This matter concerns saving your ancestor, and there can be no mistakes, or all our efforts will be in vain!"

"..." This time, Emperor Shen Zhui truly wanted to cry.

Ancestor, I really didn't trick you; it was Master Yang who tricked you...

While Emperor Shen Zhui woke Shen Hong up, then knocked him out, then woke him up again, and knocked him out again... Liu Ling, Zhuang Xian, and Zheng Fei on the side were all dumbfounded and also felt a little frantic.

"Master Liu, you are widely experienced. Can you tell what kind of breakthrough method Master Yang is using?"

After holding it in for a long time, Zhuang Xian finally couldn't resist asking.

"I... can't tell either!"

Master Liu's face flushed.

A breakthrough method? What kind of breakthrough method is this?! There are hundreds of rules for master teachers, and major principles guide breakthroughs. Apparently, none of them involve taking medicine and looking at beautiful women... What's even more outrageous is that it's not just about taking the medicine; he deliberately finds scantily clad women to entice him, and as soon as he can't control himself, he's knocked out... He thought this wasn't helping someone break through but rather deliberately messing with him for fun. Poor Shen Hong, with his lifelong reputation, was now like a patron in a brothel, lunging at women as soon as he woke up...

"Breakthrough, my ass! I think this is just deliberately tormenting Shen Hong. I've never heard of someone breaking through just by taking medicine..." Zheng Fei shook his head, his face ashen. "This is a farce, Master Liu. I think we should intervene and stop it! If this continues, what kind of dignity will be left?"

"This..." Liu Ling hesitated.

"There's nothing to hesitate about. Look at Shen Hong now; he's completely insane. If word gets out, even if he dies, his reputation will be utterly ruined..." Zheng Fei scoffed.

Hearing this, Liu Ling and Zhuang Xian looked up and indeed saw Shen Hong, who was originally refined and elegant, now acting like a madman, struggling to lunge at a seductive woman. His upper garments were almost completely torn, and his eyes were bloodshot, like a raging wild wolf.

"But... Master Yang's method for helping me break through was also incredibly strange. Could he be using a similar method? It might not look good, but it could actually be for his benefit..."

Zhuang Xian's mouth twitched.

"You have a Master Teacher father, and your cultivation is quite rigid. Making you furious to achieve a breakthrough was indeed a valid method. But this... how could this lead to a breakthrough? Leaving aside its possibility, just considering Shen Hong's current state—even if his true qi is sufficient, he can't possibly break through!"

Zheng Fei stated.

The Grandmaster realm is the first difficult hurdle in the nine levels of martial arts, like a fish transforming into a dragon; once broken through, there's a qualitative leap. Countless incredibly talented individuals, even with optimal conditions and abundant true qi, fail to succeed and ultimately remain stuck at this stage. Shen Hong is now solely focused on lunging at women, having long lost his sanity. How could he possibly succeed? Isn't this a joke? If this were truly the case, no one would need to cultivate; everyone could just spend a few days in a brothel and become Grandmasters, couldn't they?

"This..."

"No more 'this' or 'that'! Master Liu, make a decision quickly. I can stake my life on it: if this continues, Shen Hong will definitely not be able to break through. If he truly succeeds, I'll cut off my own head..."

Zheng Fei declared confidently.

*Boom!*

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt a powerful aura, as hot as a blazing sun, emanate from not far away.

"What is this?"

He quickly turned his head and saw that Ancestor Shen Hong, who moments ago had been utterly frantic and trying to lunge at the women before him, was now, somehow, sitting cross-legged on the ground like a sage. His aura flickered and pulsed, giving off a profound and vast sensation. All his previous weakness was gone; he radiated vigorous vitality like a young man, overshadowing even Emperor Shen Zhui beside him.

Martial Artist Eightfold, Grandmaster realm!

"He actually broke through?"

Zheng Fei felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face and was on the verge of tears. He had just confidently stated it was impossible, and immediately, Shen Hong broke through right before his eyes... Broke through to the Grandmaster realm by taking medicine? Can anyone tell him what was going on...
