Chapter 28: “those Insects Of The Dou Ling Empire Royal Family!”
“Hiss~ It hurts!”
A young boy was sitting on a chair in the medical clinic with a bruised and swollen face. Huo Yuhao pinched his left wrist, and after hearing him cry out in pain, he moved his hand slightly downward.
“How about here?”
“Clinic Master Huo, no feeling.”
Huo Yuhao nodded, picked up paper and pen to record in the notebook, then said to him, “Wrist bone has cracks.”
“The cracks aren’t very deep. I’ll treat you right away.”
After confirming the injury, Huo Yuhao applied local Reverse Cursed Technique to his left wrist for treatment.
Now, Huo Yuhao was becoming more and more proficient in using this incantation.
At first, using the Reverse Cursed Technique could only be applied to the whole person, but now it could be done locally.
The physical energy produced after reversal only affected one area, which not only greatly reduced the user’s consumption but also alleviated the patient’s pain.
The young boy gritted his teeth, enduring the pain of flesh and blood surging, as an unbearably itchy sensation came from his left wrist.
This wasn’t his first time coming here for treatment, so he was mentally prepared for it.
“All done.”
Hearing Huo Yuhao’s words, he finally relaxed completely, gasping for air heavily, and flipped his left wrist over several times to look at it.
“Hehe, as expected, Clinic Master, your medical skills are superb.”
“If it were those healing soul masters at the Fighting Arena, this hand would probably need a few days of rest before it could fight again.”
Huo Yuhao felt a bit helpless hearing that his first thought was to go fight.
“What they say makes sense. You should still rest for a few days.”
The young boy shook his head and said, “That won’t do. I rely on Soul Fighting to make money.”
“You know, I’m already level twenty. Just one soul ring away from Great Soul Master.”
“This second soul ring has to absorb a Hundred-Year Soul Ring no matter what.”
“Otherwise, there’s no hope of breaking through to Soul Elder.”
“Ten more Soul Fighting matches, and I’ll have enough money to hire a Soul Hunting Group.”
“Alright, Clinic Master, I’ll head out first.”
The young boy jumped up from the chair, placed money on the table, and excitedly left the medical clinic straight for the Fighting Arena.
Actually, Huo Yuhao knew that even if this boy absorbed a Hundred-Year second soul ring, it would be hard for him to break through to Soul Elder.
His first soul ring absorbed was a Ten-Year earth attribute soul ring, which was not only low in years but also conflicted with his own martial soul attribute.
The wind attribute Swift Wolf was mediocre in strength to begin with, and the wrong soul ring polluted the Martial Soul Origin. Plus the hidden injuries from years of fighting in the Fighting Arena basically doomed him to be unable to break through to Soul Elder.
And people in similar situations, Huo Yuhao had already seen more than a dozen.
For soul masters, this condition was a common phenomenon, or rather, the soul masters in the original work who casually had optimal configurations or even super configurations were rarely seen.
At least in the Soul Fighting Competitions Huo Yuhao had watched in Xuan Feng City for so long, he basically hadn’t seen anyone get an optimal configuration soul ring.
Either the first ring was Hundred-Year but the attribute didn’t match, or the attribute matched but the years were low.
Jiang Nannan’s martial soul and soul ring configuration was top-tier in Xuan Feng City.
“Or rather, this is the true face of this world.”
After seeing off the first customer of the morning, Huo Yuhao returned to the counter to organize medical books, constantly using paper and pen combined with recent practical experience to depict the paths of the human body’s meridians.
During this time, through Profound Heaven Skill and the human body dissection charts accumulated over ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao discovered that all cultivable soul masters always had three meridians open.
Even if they weren’t open before age six, after awakening the martial soul and gaining soul power, these three meridians would definitely open.
Medical books called these three meridians the main meridians, and some even believed all meridians were derivatives of the main meridians.
Huo Yuhao was overjoyed when he saw this. It turned out someone in this world had already paved the way for him.
When he eagerly sought follow-up content, he was told by a frequent bookstore boss that the master who researched this field had been executed by the Dou Ling Empire Royal Family a thousand years ago.
The reason was that the research offended the authority of the royal nobles. They not only ordered the person burned to death but also confiscated all books.
What Huo Yuhao could see now was bought from the Sun Moon Empire side.
It was said that the Sun Moon Empire at that time was particularly interested in this theory, and Mingde Hall wanted to bring the person to the Sun Moon Empire but failed.
In the end, they forcibly sent people to rob a complete set of that master’s works from the Dou Ling Empire.
The Hall Master of Mingde Hall of that generation felt heartbroken after reading the entire book.
The entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could hear his curses against the Dou Ling Empire.
It was said he cursed very filthily, even raging in front of the Sun Moon Empire Emperor, cursing the Dou Ling Empire for a day and night.
He kept saying the Dou Ling Empire didn’t recognize talent, brutally cutting off a peerless genius and burying the best opportunity for the soul master world to unravel the meridian mystery.
And the facts were indeed so; a thousand years had passed on the Douluo Continent with no progress at all in Meridian Theory.
It was also heard that the Dou Ling Empire felt killing him wasn’t enough and planned to scatter that master’s bone ash at the city gate for everyone to trample.
That Mingde Hall Hall Master truly flew into a rage; he had never seen such an ignorant country.
On the spot, ignoring the Sun Moon Empire Emperor’s dissuasion, he brought his self-developed Level Nine Soul Tool and a large group of equally indignant soul engineers, flying overnight across half the continent to attack the Dou Ling Empire capital Lingdou City.
The Hall Master rushed into the Imperial Palace, dragged the bewildered Dou Ling Empire Emperor from his sleep, and angrily slapped him several times.
Then after a great battle, he robbed the master’s bone ash urn and conveniently brought back all his lifetime manuscripts to the Sun Moon Empire.
The Dou Ling Empire was furious but dared not speak, helplessly staying silent.
Then that generation’s Mingde Hall Hall Master personally supervised the mass printing of the master’s legacy works, hoping to preserve this inheritance of meridian studies in the Sun Moon Empire.
And on the book’s title page, he wrote a line.
“To those who come after, this book is the greatest regret of our era. I hope you can take up the torch of our predecessors and successfully climb the great mountain of Meridian Theory.”
“Signed: Yi Hongchen.”
And Huo Yuhao, who finally found and finished reading this book from the bookstore, finally understood the mood of that Mingde Hall Hall Master at the time.
That master had almost rigorously, with illustrations, expounded the three main meridians and their derivative meridians using precise methods.
He was just one step away from deducing Meridian Theory to the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, even predicting their specific functions.
But after only writing the title and preface for the Eight Extraordinary Meridians chapter, the book abruptly ended.
It made Huo Yuhao feel like participating in a Stop-Motion Challenge.
“F**k the Dou Ling Empire Royal Family, a bunch of insects, what era is it and they’re still burning researchers to death!”
“Staying with these insects, when will soul masters be great again!”
Jiang Nannan, who had just entered the door, heard Huo Yuhao’s complaints, her eyes showing some confusion.
She stood prettily at the doorway, pursed her lips, hands clasped behind her back tightly gripping a repaired bag.
Please, dear readers, provide some follow-up reading. Rat really needs it.
