Chapter 160: I Could Treat Him If You Want
Ming Ming reached Liang Wei's side, her hands trembling as she checked for a pulse.
Relief flooded over her as she felt a faint but steady beat against her fingertips.
She sighed with ease, thankful that Liang Wei was still alive.
Liang Wei was an important figure in the family and was her grandfather's beloved discipline.
Even if she didn't like him most of the time, she didn't want to see him dead.
Plus, she knew how devastated her grandfather would be if something happened to Liang Wei.
As she looked down at his unconscious form, Ming Ming couldn't help but sigh at the sight of Liang Wei's swollen face.
On his two cheeks were two hand prints, clearly indicating that he had been struck forcefully.
She couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise. One should know that Liang Wei was not far from attaining divinity and becoming a Divine Martial Artist.
To have the force to leave such visible marks on him meant that his attacker was incredibly powerful.
Ming Ming couldn't fathom the strength behind Chen Tian.
"Don't tell me he's a Divine Martial Artist!!" A sense of disbelief washed over her.
She took a glance at Chen Tian and noticed his calm and composed expression on his face, which only added to her surprise.
How could someone so young possess such immense power?
Ming-Ming's mind raced with questions as she tried to wrap her head around the situation.
From Chen Tian's looks alone, one could guess that he was in his early twenties, but the power he wielded seemed far beyond his years.
Chen Tian had used his Qi to remove the white strands of hair, and his blue eyes all returned to normal black.
But his height was still 185 cm, which towered over Ming-Ming's petite frame.
"He looks the same age as me, but he's stronger than me," Ming-Ming thought to herself in awe.
She couldn't help but feel a mixture of admiration and envy for Chen Tian.
But one thing was clear, Chen Tian was not to be underestimated.
"I'm sure he is definitely a Divine Martial Artist; no Martial Artist could defeat Liang Wei like this without breaking a sweat," Ming-Ming thought in an excited tone.
There was one thing that distinguished Ming-Ming from other girls.
Unlike girls who liked to go shopping or dress up, Ming-Ming has always been fascinated by martial arts.
She had been training since a young age, hoping to become a skilled fighter like her grandfather.
Seeing Chen Tian's strength and skill only fueled her determination to improve and reach his level one day.
"I need to make sure I'm on good terms with him," Ming-Ming thought to herself.
Since Chen Tian had already said he was here by accident, Ming Ming decided to approach him and introduce herself.
"Hello, sorry for Liang Wei's attitude just now he..."
"His arrogance," Chen Tian interrupted, finishing Ming-Ming's sentence.
"It's alright, I understand," he replied with a warm smile.
Chen Tian didn't have anything against Ming Ming; she even tried to warm him up so he wasn't going to hold Liang Wei's behavior against her, and he still needed information from her.
Ming-Ming felt relieved that Chen Tian didn't hold Liang Wei's behavior against her.
She could see that Chen Tian was a reasonable person who could separate individuals from their actions.
"Again, I'm sorry for the earlier misunderstanding," Ming-Ming apologized sincerely.
"Don't worry I should be the one apologizing for entering here without permission," Chen Tian replied, his voice calm and understanding.
"Hehe, it seems we both made mistakes. Ming Ming chuckled nervously.
"My name is Ming Mingyu, but everyone close to me calls me Ming Ming." Ming Ming introduced herself with a warm smile.
Chen Tian reciprocated the smile and extended his hand in a friendly gesture. "Nice to meet you, Mingyu," he said.
"There's no need to worry about the misunderstanding anymore."
"Good," Ming Ming said with relief, her nervous chuckle turning into genuine laughter.
After that, Chen Tian and Ming Ming started talking, mainly Ming Ming asking questions about Chen Tian's hobbies, interests, and background.
Chen Tian thought a moment before giving her his name, but he decided to do that since what could happen was not like they were enemies or anything.
"You said that you entered here by accident, but how did you enter?" Ming Ming asked curiously; since Chen Tian said he entered here by accident, she was curious to know the details of how it happened.
"Well..." Chen Tian shook his head and pointed at the window.
Ming Ming's eyes widened as she followed Chen Tian's gaze to the window.
It appeared that he had climbed in through the small opening.
She couldn't help but be impressed by his agility and resourcefulness. "You must be quite skilled to have made it through there," she remarked, her curiosity piqued even further.
If it was her, she wouldn't dare attempt such a feat; they were on the Fifth floor after all.
With her strength, jumping from the Fifth floor would risk serious injury.
Only her grandfather could do that without breaking a sweat.
Which made her believe that Chen Tian was really a Divine martial Artist.
After explaining how he ended up here, Ming Ming nodded her head in understanding.
"So that's why you're here," she said, astonishment evident in her voice.
"Someone you knew was in danger, and you helped," Ming Ming continued, admiration shining in her eyes.
"You truly are a hero, Chen Tian."
Ming Ming couldn't help but feel a newfound respect for him, knowing that he possessed such extraordinary abilities.
She knew that she had made the right to have a good relationship with him.
"I must admit, I never expected to meet a Divine martial Artist like you," Ming Ming continued, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Divine Martial Artist?"
Chen Tian heard the same word again and couldn't help but ask curiously. "What is a Divine Martial Artist?"
"Eh?"
His question made the smile on Ming Ming's face disappear as a shocked expression replaced it.
She took a moment to compose herself before answering, "Y-You really don't know what a Divine Martial Artist is?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't be asking," Chen Tian replied with a calm look.
Seeing his serious demeanor, Ming Ming realized that he truly had no knowledge of what a Divine Martial Artist was. She took a deep breath and began to explain.
"A Divine Martial Artist is a rare and revered individual who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts.
They possess unmatched strength, agility, and mastery over various combat techniques.
It is said that they are chosen by the heavens themselves and are capable of performing feats that ordinary martial artists can only dream of."
Chen Tian listened intently, his curiosity piqued even further.
From what he was hearing from Ming Ming, it seemed that being a Divine Martial Artist meant that the Martial Artist could use the energy of heaven and earth to enhance their abilities.
And materialize the energy out of their bodies, creating powerful energy attacks that can devastate their opponents.
"So a Divine Martial Artist has the strength of a Qi Refinement Cultivator, since only Qi Refinement Cultivators could materialize the Qi out of their bodies," he thought to himself.
Now the most important question in Chen Tian's mind was, are there people stronger than a Qi Refinement Cultivators?
"Mingyu, do you know if there are martial artists who possess even greater strength than a Divine Martial artist?" Chen Tian asked Ming Ming, hoping for some answers.
"Mm, of course there is, but they rarely go outside their places," Ming Ming replied.
"These are the legendary Transcendent Martial Artists. They have surpassed the boundaries of ordinary Martial artists and possess unimaginable power.
It is said that they can manipulate the very essence of the world and are capable of feats that defy logic."
Chen Tian listened intently, his curiosity piqued. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of abilities these transcendent Martial artists possessed.
Ming Ming continued, "I have never seen them in person, but I've heard stories of their incredible abilities from my grandfather.
He says that they can destroy mountains with a single strike, control elements such as fire and water, and even heal the gravest of injuries with a mere touch."
"If someone from them was here, my grandfather wouldn't be in such a state." Ming Ming sadly said
Sadness filled her voice as she reflected on her grandfather's declining health.
It seemed that only the extraordinary abilities of the transcendent Martial artists could save her beloved grandfather.
She had already lost hope of finding a solution for her grandfather's condition.
If her grandfather, the head of the Ming family, died, it would not only be a devastating loss for the family.
"I could treat him if you want"
Just as she was sighing, she heard the words that made her regain a glimmer of hope.
