A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 42 Thione Dojo and the Martial Arts Talent

William didn’t use any Qi, but his strength was just right. The middle–aged man couldn’t control his footing and lost his balance, causing him to fall to the ground with a loud bang.

The disciples were all shocked. How can the owner be defeated with just one move?

The middle–aged man was surprised as well. He got up with a kip–up and said, “Impressive! Another round!”

However, William shook his head and replied, “There’s no need to continue. Your lower body is unstable, and your foundation isn’t good enough.”

Hearing that, the man felt insulted. “I trained my horse stance for seven years when I was young. How dare you say my lower body is unstable? You’re underestimating me!”

“Don’t be pissed. What I mean is that your training method is flawed,” explained William.

The man snorted. “Shut up! How could the training method of Thione Sect be flawed?”

Seeing that it was impossible to continue the conversation, William shrugged and said, “Alright, then. I will focus on attacking your lower body later. You can experience it for yourself.”

After a roar, the man kicked in the air again. He was obviously skilled at leg work. However, before he could complete his kick, William suddenly dashed forward and pushed him, sending him flying several feet away before he fell to the ground once again.

At this moment, the disciples couldn’t bear to watch anymore. Many of them lowered their heads as they felt that the owner was no match for the challenger.

Yet, the man refused to give up and charged forward for the third time. This time, William just pulled him by the hand, and he fell for the third time.

When William saw that the man still wanted to fight, he frowned and said, “That’s enough!”

“The Thione Sect cannot be disgraced,” the man said in a cold voice after he stopped.

Suddenly, William chuckled. “How did I disgrace you? I’m just a passerby who saw a dojo and wanted to take a look. But who knew that you would challenge me as soon as I entered? I only told you that your training method is flawed, and your stance is unstable. These are all facts. Did you feel disgraced by that?”

When the man heard William’s words, he was stunned for a moment before asking, “Aren’t you Hayes Ziegler?”

“Who is Hayes Ziegler? My name is William Barrett,” replied William, realizing that they had a misunderstanding.

With an embarrassed look, the man quickly cupped his fists and apologized, “I’m sorry! I thought you were Hayes Ziegler. He was supposed to come and challenge us, so I spoke too harshly.”

“I see. It’s my fault for not making myself clear, then,” William nodded.

The man was also quite generous. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, he immediately became very polite to William and invited him to the tea room next door.

Chapter 42 Thione Dojo and the Martial Arts Talent

After some introductions, William got to know that the middle–aged man named Thomas Cornell turned out to be the owner of this dojo. He had been practicing martial arts for nearly 30 years under an old boxer of the Thione Sect.

A few days ago, a boxer from out of town named Hayes Ziegler suddenly arrived in the Kreim Capital. He was very strong and challenged seven dojo owners continuously. Today was the day he was supposed to come and challenge the Thione Dojo’s owner. Yet, William happened to be there and caused a misunderstanding, so they were hostile toward him from the start.

When William heard that, he couldn’t help but say, “I came here at the wrong time.”
