The Luckiest Dumb Doctor-Chapter 455 - Masters Gather_1
Chapter 455 -455 Masters Gather_1
The person landed without a trace of mundanity, and there was no sound whatsoever at the moment of landing, his Qinggong skills apparently had reached the point of handling a great weight as if it were light.
He’s a master!
Troy Milton’s heart tightened, and he subconsciously took a step back.
He thought it was Thomas Lampe who had arrived, but upon closer examination, he realized that the other party was actually a young man around eighteen or nineteen years old.
The young man had a decent appearance, yet his eyes were cold and indifferent, with not a hint of emotion on his face, presenting a keep-out demeanor.
Simon Cooper was also startled to see this young man, took a quick look around, and then asked, “Why did you come? Where’s your master?”
“This is…”
“Let me introduce him.”
Simon Cooper quickly said, “This is Master Lee’s disciple, Xavier Cooper.”
“Oh, so you are Master Lee’s disciple. Please come in.”
Although Thomas Lampe didn’t come, which somewhat disappointed Troy Milton, since Xavier Cooper was Thomas Lampe’s disciple, he couldn’t afford to neglect him.
“Grandmaster Duncan, would you come in as well?”
“Hmm.”
Duncan Kong looked deeply at Xavier Cooper, with a smile that was not quite a smile, and with his hands behind his back, he strode ahead into the courtyard.
Inside the villa, several half-step Grandmasters chatted casually.
These people were all well-known figures in the Seven Provinces of Northwest, having met each other during the competitions in the Seven Provinces and were relatively familiar with each other.
At their level of status, even if they did not get along privately, they still maintained superficial harmony.
The atmosphere in the living room had been quite harmonious, but as soon as Duncan Kong walked in, it was as if the air had been sucked out of the room, and it suddenly became quiet.
“Grandmaster Duncan, long time no see.”
“Oh my, Grandmaster Duncan, good to see you.”
Someone broke the ice, and the rest of the people stood up and greeted Duncan Kong.
Duncan Kong, with an indifferent look, grandly took the seat of honor, like a king looking down upon his subjects, scanning their expressions.
“This must be Grandmaster Duncan’s accomplished disciple, please take a seat inside…”
Someone saw Xavier Cooper, mistaking him for Duncan Kong’s disciple, and wanted to let him sit beside the seat of honor.
Duncan Kong, seeing this, scoffed and said, “He’s Thomas Lampe’s disciple, not someone I can claim as my own.”
There was another pause in the conversation.
The people stared at Xavier Cooper, their expressions gradually changing from warmth to caution, disgust, and distance.
Seeing this, Simon Cooper hurriedly walked up, warmly took Xavier Cooper’s arm, and said with a smile, “Master Xavier, please take a seat!”
Xavier Cooper shook his head and sat down at the end of the chairs, calmly saying, “I’m fine sitting here.”
Simon Cooper hesitated and replied, “Well… okay then.”
Duncan Kong couldn’t help but sneer and said, “Just let him sit there. Even if his master, Thomas Lampe, came, he’d only sit at the back.
A family of lowlifes, being able to join the table is already a great kindness.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes showed mockery, all turning to look at Xavier Cooper simultaneously.
The feuds between the two Great Grandmasters weren’t something they’d dare to get involved in, but that didn’t prevent them from enjoying the spectacle.
Xavier Cooper stood up expressionless, looked at Duncan Kong, and said calmly, “Let’s have a fight.”
“You want to fight me?”
Duncan Kong laughed as if he’d heard a hilarious joke. It took a while before he finally controlled his laughter and said coldly:
“What are you? What makes you think you’re worthy of my attention?”
Xavier Cooper calmly replied, “After all, he is my master. If I remain indifferent to your insults behind his back, wouldn’t that make me a coward, heartless, and unrighteous?
So, let’s fight.”
Duncan Kong looked at him with disdain and sneered:
“The cunning and deceitful Thomas Lampe actually taught a moral paragon. This is indeed the joke of the century.
Hahaha, don’t you think?”
With that, he turned to look at the others.
The faces of the onlookers darkened, and no one dared to echo his words.
What does it have to do with us?
A Grandmaster and a Grandmaster’s disciple, you dogs biting each other, why drag us into the fray?
Duncan Kong’s face grew slightly cold as he said, “I’m talking to you, isn’t that the reason?!”
“Yes, Grandmaster Duncan is right.”
“No doubt, haha…”
The crowd had no choice but to agree.
Although Thomas Lampe was also a Grandmaster, he was far away, whereas the old geezer Duncan Kong was sitting right beside them.
If they happened to displease him, that would spell major trouble.
Yet Xavier Cooper remained expressionless, looking at Duncan Kong and saying, “Old Monkey, are you scared now?”
Upon being called “Old Monkey,” Duncan Kong’s expression immediately darkened and he stood up abruptly, saying coldly,
“Since you’re courting death, I’ll grant your wish!”
Seeing this, Simon Cooper became somewhat panic-stricken.
Xavier was someone he had invited; if he got injured while handling the task, that’d be one thing, but if he was hurt by Duncan Kong before it even started, that would be Simon’s responsibility.
With Thomas Lampe’s unreasonable temperament, he’d definitely give Simon trouble.
He quickly stepped forward to interrupt, flashing an apologetic smile, “Grandmaster Duncan, Xavier is still young, please don’t stoop to his level.”
“Get lost!”
With a casual wave of his hand, Duncan Kong released a burst of gray-white True Qi, shoving Simon Cooper aside.
Simon had originally thought he wasn’t much different from a Grandmaster, but when he felt that irresistible force, his complexion changed at once.
A mere wave of the hand nearly sent him flying; what would happen if they actually fought?
Luckily, he was prepared, or he really would have been slapped flying away.
Duncan Kong’s skills were indeed terrifying!
Before Simon could even gather his wits, he saw Duncan Kong leap into the air like a big macaque, pouncing towards Xavier.
Then, he delivered a mid-air Splitting Mountain with Strength-like move, transforming his right hand into a palm and, aiming at Xavier’s head, he brought it down hard.
Buzz!
The sound of tearing through the air was sudden and loud!
Before his palm could land, a blade of True Qi had already been sent slicing out.
“Show mercy—”
Simon was startled and hurriedly spoke to interrupt, but his words cut off midway as if someone had grabbed his throat, all subsequent words choked back.
Because Xavier had vanished!
In front of Duncan Kong, there was nothing but empty space; where was Xavier’s shadow?
“Such incredible speed!”
“With this Qinggong alone, he would be more than capable of wandering the martial world.”
“Thomas Lampe’s disciple is no ordinary one.”
Everyone in the house was shocked beyond belief; none of them had expected Xavier’s Qinggong to be so impressive, his speed so swift.
“Eh, quite interesting!”
Duncan Kong was also surprised for a moment, then quickly regained his composure, and like eyes in the back of his head, his long arms swung towards his back.
This strike was exceptionally fast; Xavier had only just steadied himself when Duncan Kong’s arm swung at him, forcing him to raise his arms in defense, bracing against the blow.
Thump!
That overwhelming force attacked him in an instant!
Xavier tapped the ground with his foot, retreating backward, using this to offset the force of the punch.
Seeing this, Duncan Kong’s eyes lit up, “Good lad, have at it again!”
The next second, he stomped the ground, propelling his body forward like a cannonball, and with the momentum of his charge, threw a punch towards Xavier’s chest.
Xavier’s eyes were cold, glued onto the fist of Duncan Kong.

As the punch neared, it seemed he would neither dodge nor retreat, but his hands flipped over and two streaks of cold light flashed, slashing towards Duncan Kong’s incoming fist.
