The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 146: Ma Chao's Heartache, Searching for the Famous Doctor in Tiandang Mountain

"Hahahahaha..."

In the principal's room of the Eastern Han Academy, Wang Yun's hearty laughter could be heard. At this time, Fang Mu, Xiu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Cao Cao stood in a row with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.

Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao stood beside the others, holding a plate with medals in their hands.

"You eight are truly the light of our Donghan Academy. You broke the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation and the blockade, allowing our classmates to go to school happily again!"

Wang Yun shook hands with the eight people as he walked. After shaking hands with each of them, he turned around and said to them.

"So Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Zhang Fei, step forward and listen to my orders!"

"exist!"

The five of them bowed together.

"I now appoint you as the Five Tiger Generals of the Eastern Han Academy. You will never be detained or expelled from school!"

"yeah!"

The Five Tiger Generals waved their arms happily while accepting the medals awarded by Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, in particular, were extremely happy at this moment. With this sentence as a guarantee, they would finally not be expelled again!

"Fang Mu, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, come forward and listen to the order!"

"exist!"

"Cao Cao served as the military advisor for this battle and made great contributions. Considering your position as president, I will not grant you the title for the time being. However, I approve that the student union's activity funds will be tripled this year!"

"Thank you, principal!"

The smile on Cao Cao's face became even brighter. With more activity funds, the student union could better seek benefits for the students.

"Similarly, during this battle, Liu Bei led the Five Tigers, bravely advancing, risking his life to stabilize the army's morale. I now appoint Liu Bei as the General of the Eastern Frontier, and denote this great achievement!"

(The term "Zhendong Shangjiang" here comes from the title of "Zhendong General" of Liu Bei recorded in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was conferred by Cao Cao in a letter to Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie)

"Thank you principal!"

Xiu's expression twitched as he saluted Wang Yun. At this moment, he was a little confused as to why he could be rewarded even though he tried so hard to slack off, until he saw Cao Cao smiling at him.

"Fang Mu, listen to my orders!"

"exist!"

"During this battle, Fang Mu, you fought bravely, fearlessly, and provided excellent leadership. You even dared to enter the formation alone and rescue Liu Bei and Xiao Qiao. You are truly a great blessing to our Donghan Academy. Therefore, I officially appoint you as a five-star general, and also commend you for a great merit, doubling your scholarship!"

"Thank you, Principal!"

Fang Mu couldn't help but smile. Maybe he should choose the name "MacArthur"!

……

"cheers!!!"

After the reward was given, the Eastern Han Academy was once again closed with Wang Yun's permission, and Cao Cao brought Fang Mu, Xiu, the Five Tiger Generals, Diao Chan, Xiao Qiao and others to the "Hongmen Banquet BBQ Restaurant".

Everyone ate and drank their fill, talking and laughing, but during the meal, Fang Mu still vaguely felt a hint of sadness from Ma Chao.

After the dinner, the other three of the Five Tiger Generals were naturally invited by Cao Cao and moved into the Cao family compound like Fang Mu, Xiu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

In the yard, Fang Mu walked up to Ma Chao, who was sitting in a daze by the pond, and handed him a bottle of water.

"master!"

"What's wrong? Now I have new books to study and meet new friends. How can I not be happy?"

Fang Mu followed Ma Chao's gaze and saw a bright moon like jade reflected in the water.

"Last time in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, I used an attacking move!"

When Fang Mu heard Ma Chao say that he took the initiative, he didn't seem surprised at all, and just nodded lightly.

"It seems you've completely figured out the 'Tao Tao Bu Jue Zhang' technique. Isn't that great? Why are you still so unhappy?"

Not long after Fang Mu met Ma Chao, during a conversation, Ma Chao shouted out his thoughts to the sea. At that moment, the sea seemed to be responding to Ma Chao's words, raising waves after waves towards him. It was at that time that Ma Chao realized the prototype of his "Taotao Bujie Palm".

"I'm not unhappy, I just think it's time to face it!"

Ma Chao suddenly stood up from his seat and spoke solemnly to Fang Mu.

"Master, you said you knew the location of Boren's mother. Please take me to find her. I think it's time to explain everything clearly!"

"Let's go too!"

With a scream, Zhang Fei fell on Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong. Because he was too excited, he pushed the door open when he fell, completely exposing the positions of the four people.

"What? So you guys have been eavesdropping the whole time!"

Ma Chao was suddenly filled with shame and looked at the people in front of him with some resentment.

"master…"

"They said they were too worried about you, so they came here to eavesdrop. I didn't ask them to come!"

Fang Mu shrugged his shoulders and replied with his hands spread out.

"Chao, your business is our business, good brother, when there are difficulties, we must go through them together!"

"Whatever you do, brothers support you!"

"That's right, we are the Five Tiger Generals of the Eastern Han Academy. There is no difficulty that we cannot overcome!"

"Everyone... thank you!"

Ma Chao's eyes welled up with tears. Ever since that incident, he had lost many friends overnight. The only one he had grown up with was Huang Zhong. Now that he had so many good brothers, it seemed as if he had finally welcomed his ninth birthday...

……

"So after Boren's accident, his mother felt guilty and studied a lot of medical skills. Now, the famous doctor of Tiandang Mountain who is well-known in the outside world is Boren's mother?"

After Ma Chao proposed to resolve the incident of that year, Zhang Fei called his driver and asked him to take the seven brothers to find Bo Ren's mother.

"She must have been in a lot of pain all these years!"

In the car, Ma Chao lowered his head. He came from a family of martial arts, and Bo Ren came from a family of medicine. Because injuries were inevitable during martial arts training, and the two were of similar age, they quickly became friends.

Boren's mother was already the chief doctor of the hospital at that time. Although she tried her best to save her son, she still watched her son die in front of her.

"Ma Chao, I've said this before. You can't be blamed entirely, and you don't need to live in guilt forever!"

Fang Mu patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, and Ma Chao responded with a smile to show that he was fine.

After the driver Li Shizhen (Scar Jason's silver clone) drove the car to Tiandang Mountain, everyone got out of the car and went up the mountain.

And just as everyone stepped onto the stairs leading up the mountain, they saw a white figure running down from the top of the mountain quickly.

"I am the chief disciple of the famous doctor of Tiandang Mountain. My master has ordered that no outsiders are allowed to go up the mountain. So if you want to go up the mountain, you must pass my test first!"

"Whether it's a verbal or physical fight, it's up to you!"

Zhao Yun patted his chest to show that he was fearless.

"I don't want to hurt you, so let's just fight with words!"

The famous doctor's apprentice spoke.

"As we all know, there are seven continents in the world. What is a tornado that occurs in Africa called?"

"What seven continents? Are there seven continents in the world?"

"What is a tornado? Is it more powerful than a hair dryer?"

The Five Tiger Generals were all confused, even Xiu had a face full of question marks. Shouldn't the apprentice of a famous doctor ask questions related to medicine?

But at this moment Fang Mu smiled faintly and immediately answered.

"Sweeping the Black Storm!"

"bingo!"

The famous doctor's apprentice covered his mouth in shock, while the Five Tiger Generals were confused. Only Xiu seemed to have thought of something and quickly covered his mouth which was about to open.

"Next question, still in Africa, what would happen to mosquitoes if more mosquito coils were used?"

"Mosquito coils, wouldn't all the mosquitoes die?"

"It can't be that simple!"

"I know, if you use mosquito coils, the mosquitoes will have body odor!"

Xiu answered firmly, but Fang Mu waved him off slightly.

“If more mosquito coils were used in Africa, no more mosquitoes would die from AIDS!”

The Five Tiger Generals were shocked.

"One more question. Please answer this one with an idiom!"

“Idioms, they’re so difficult!”

“My country’s writing is the worst!”

"What's the antonym for 'Conan commits a crime'?"

"Conan, why would Conan commit a crime? Isn't he supposed to catch criminals?"

"He must have kicked someone's penis while playing football!"

"I think he stabbed his uncle with a needle!"

Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, Fang Mu smiled calmly.

"The opposite of Conan committing a crime is, of course, doing good deeds?"

"Which merit?"

"Of course it's Kaito Kidd!"
