Chapter 18: Heart Transplant
Based on her current Origin strength, at most one month from now, she will die from heart failure.
Now it seems that conventional methods definitely won’t work; for this congenital heart problem, conventional medicine and surgery are all useless.
This world also does not have professional equipment like cardiac resynchronization therapy equipment.
Without equipment, she can’t even be kept alive; he must find a way to solve this problem once and for all from the root.
Huo Yuhao pondered while gazing at the woman lying on the sickbed, her dry and split golden long hair, frail body, and the wrinkles carved on her face by time.
Actually, he had one ultimate solution: directly replace the heart.
Since it was a congenital heart problem that couldn’t be treated with conventional methods.
Then just flip the table—if he couldn’t solve the disease, couldn’t he solve a single heart?
Huo Yuhao quickly constructed the general implementation plan in his mind.
Use the fastest speed to excise her heart, then use his extremely high-precision Spiritual Power paired with Soul Power to temporarily replace the heart’s function, while maximally using Reverse Cursed Technique to let it complete heart regeneration during this time.
This process couldn’t be completed by Huo Yuhao alone; such extremely high-precision Control was not easy even for Huo Yuhao with the Spiritual Eye Kaleidoscope.
Huo Yuhao’s current Spiritual Power was formless and intangible, so he had to use Soul Power to substitute, and Huo Yuhao only had level nine and a half Soul Power.
So he needed Jiang Nannan to provide Soul Power Support.
Thus, Huo Yuhao lightly opened the room door and said to Jiang Nannan pacing back and forth in the front hall:
“I have a method, but I don’t know if you can accept it.”
Soon, Huo Yuhao detailed his treatment method to Jiang Nannan.
After hearing it, Jiang Nannan was instantly stunned.
“Heart… heart transplant?”
Even though Jiang Nannan had studied at Shrek Academy for so many years, she had never heard of humanity being able to transplant hearts.
Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly and said: “Strictly speaking, it’s not a heart transplant; it’s a regeneration that breaks and then stands.”
“Miss, this is my only solution at present.”
Jiang Nannan lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head, her water-like eyes seriously looking at Huo Yuhao as she said:
“Clinic Master, how confident are you.”
Huo Yuhao did not directly answer this question.
“A doctor won’t specify a success rate or failure rate; I will only go all out.”
Jiang Nannan gritted her teeth and nodded.
“Since that’s the case, it will rely on you, miss, to provide me with Soul Power Support.”
The two entered the back room one after the other; theoretically, they should wear Protective Clothing and perform the surgery in a sterile room.
But when in Rome, do as the Romans do—let bacteria deal with my Reverse Cursed Technique!
Huo Yuhao stood in front of the bed and explained the upcoming surgery in detail to her mother.
The woman turned her head to glance at Jiang Nannan, then looked back at Huo Yuhao and said:
“Doctor, I beg you; no matter what, please give me a release.”
Huo Yuhao administered anesthetic to her.
After the anesthetic took effect, he pulled open the blanket, removed her top, exposing her left side body.
Huo Yuhao drew the White Tiger Dagger, concentrating his Spiritual Power entirely on her heart position.
The heart excision had to be fast and precise, without any errors.
The tip of the White Tiger Dagger was shrouded in sharp white light, the mark of this Level Five Soul Tool activating.
Huo Yuhao glanced back at Jiang Nannan to ensure she wouldn’t make any mistakes.
Although Jiang Nannan was afraid at this moment, she used her Will to keep her hands from trembling; the moment Huo Yuhao acted, she would channel Soul Power.
Huo Yuhao’s gaze suddenly sharpened, a white lightning flash cut through the air, and the White Tiger Dagger sliced through the middle of the woman’s chest cavity.
Spiritual Power had already locked onto her heart, and the White Tiger Dagger in his hand danced like a butterfly, without the slightest obstruction in the chest cavity.
The entire process took only five seconds to completely excise the heart, without injuring the lungs or spine in the slightest.
After removing the heart, Huo Yuhao injected Spiritual Power and Soul Power into her body; under Spiritual Power’s guidance and construction, Soul Power formed a pressure blood pump to replace the heart’s function.
Then Reverse Cursed Technique activated, continuously converting Spiritual Power into Physical Energy to regenerate the heart.
Visibly, Huo Yuhao’s originally rosy Facial Expression turned pale.
The Spiritual Power and Soul Power Consumption was too great, even greater than when using Spiritual Eye Kaleidoscope to control Third Brother.
Indeed, any fine Control of energy was far more taxing than large-scale release.
Fortunately, soon a burst of extremely gentle Soul Power came from behind, replenishing Huo Yuhao’s Soul Power Consumption.
In fact, the Martial Soul’s own attribute affects the nature of Soul Power.
Soul Masters with Fire Attribute Martial Souls usually have violent and hard-to-control Soul Power.
Conversely, Soul Masters with Water Attribute have gentle and easy-to-control Soul Power.
Huo Yuhao didn’t know if Jiang Nannan’s Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul had an attribute, but the Soul Power it carried was also extremely gentle.
As Soul Power replenishment, it was quite good, a premium power bank.
If she had a Fire Attribute or Lightning Attribute Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao would never use her Soul Power as supplement no matter what.
One slip could blow up his own Meridians.
Under Reverse Cursed Technique’s effect, high-quality Spiritual Power reversed into Physical Energy of the same level.
Physical Energy granted regeneration ability comparable to Wolverine.
Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Power could clearly sense countless crimson threads drawn out from her chest cavity.
These threads gathered at the slightly left position in the chest cavity, intertwining to form the heart’s outline.
The threads began to expand and evolve; left atrium, right atrium, aorta began to appear one by one.
Until the flesh and blood solidified, no longer showing thread state, a brand-new fully functional heart appeared in the middle of the chest cavity.
The brand-new heart began linking to the woman’s body; Huo Yuhao gradually dispersed the Spiritual Power and Soul Power bit by bit, letting the newborn heart take over blood circulation.
Until both people in the room heard the strong and powerful beating of the newborn heart in the woman’s chest cavity, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Tears in her eyes, Jiang Nannan looked at the miracle on the sickbed; she felt she had fallen in love with this feeling of listening to the pulse of life.
Looking at Huo Yuhao’s exhausted back, she had never so clearly felt that miracles were not far from her.
She opened her Mouth wanting to say some words of thanks, but found no words sufficient to express her gratitude.
Huo Yuhao noticed and arduously waved his hand backward, saying: “It’s done; I’m going to rest for a bit. You take care of your mother.”
“During this time, your mother will stay here; whether the newborn heart can support the body needs observation for a week.”
“During this time, don’t let her eat spicy or stimulating food, and don’t let her do strenuous exercise.”
“Her body hasn’t adapted to this heart yet.”
Jiang Nannan nodded and carefully supported Huo Yuhao to the second-floor Bedroom to rest.
From her gentle movements, Huo Yuhao clearly sensed that this girl seemed to have developed an emotion called admiration toward him.
