Chapter 82 – Half a Month Forging a Strong Soul (Fourteen)

N City XX Hospital, Critical Emergency Room.

Ye Kuang lay pale-faced with his eyes tightly shut, quietly resting on his back on a white hospital bed.

Several doctors and nurses in white coats stood around, sweating profusely as they passed scalpels and syringes back and forth, completely overwhelmed by the frantic activity.

“The patient’s blood pressure is dropping, and blood cells may be damaged. Administer a shot of adrenaline immediately.”

“Received, adrenaline is ready.”

“Administer it.”

“Doctor, the patient’s blood pressure is gradually returning to normal, but I’ve noticed something—his platelets are clotting extremely fast.”

“What!”

“Oh my god, Doctor, the hole in the patient’s lung is healing at an astonishing rate.”

“How is this possible? Quickly, suture it immediately.”

…

Outside the Critical Emergency Room.

An Elder with a pale face suddenly opened his eyes from his meditative state.

Seeing this, the Chief anxiously asked, “When you intervened earlier, what were the chances of saving him?”

The Elder didn’t respond to the question. Instead, he turned to Feng Mingxue, who was standing restlessly beside him, and said coldly, “Xiaoxue, you really went too hard on him.”

Feng Mingxue: “…”

Witnessing this, the Chief couldn’t help but snort coldly, though he quickly shifted to self-blame, saying, “This is also my fault. I should have stopped them earlier. I originally wanted to see how the kid would handle the situation, but I never expected it to escalate to this extent.”

The Elder: “What’s done is done. There’s no use in saying more. Earlier, I expended thirty years of my cultivation to barely keep him clinging to life. If anything goes wrong now, not even a deity could save him.”

Hearing this, the Chief couldn’t help but sigh sorrowfully, “We’ll leave it to fate now. It all depends on this kid’s luck.”

As he spoke, the Chief also turned to the trembling Feng Mingxue and asked, “How is that Masked guy doing?”

Feng Mingxue looked up, shivering as she replied, “He’s not in critical condition, but he’s severely injured. The doctors say he’ll need some time to recover.”

Hearing this, the Elder couldn’t help but sigh, “That kid actually held back. If he had gone all out, Masked would have been utterly annihilated.”

The Chief: “That strong? I didn’t notice it. Just thinking about that kid’s cheeky grin makes my teeth itch with irritation.”

The Elder glanced at the Chief, a clear look of doubt in his eyes, and suddenly asked, “Old Chen, are you sure the kid practices the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms? Hasn’t that been lost for centuries? How could it appear in this kid? Strange, truly strange.”

The Chief: “You’re asking me? Who should I ask? This kid must have some big secrets. We can just ask him directly when he wakes up. But if he dies young, that would be such a… sigh.”

Hearing this, the Elder suddenly stood up, exhaled a heavy breath, and couldn’t help but glance at the red light above the emergency room.

“Reporting, Chief. The deployment here is complete. Awaiting further instructions.”

“Leave it as it is for now.”

“Yes, sir!”

The Chief then also looked at the emergency room and began pacing back and forth, his mind clearly preoccupied, lost in thought.

At this moment, time slipped through their fingers like sand, impossible to grasp.

And in this place, the agony was not Ye Kuang’s alone to bear.If the doctors and nurses responsible for treating him had to describe their current emotions in one word, it could only be “horrifying.”

Ye Kuang’s physical healing ability was simply unimaginable. His entire respiratory system had originally been in ruins, and by all reasoning, he should have been declared dead.

Miraculously, however, his body was like a caterpillar breaking out of its cocoon to become a butterfly—its regenerative power was incredibly tenacious. In just one hour, his body had already shed scabs and undergone metabolic renewal at least three times.

While Ye Kuang appeared to be unconscious, he was actually undergoing an unprecedented ultimate transformation.

The doctors and nurses had never heard of or witnessed anything like this.

Thus, their eyes were all fixed on the medical equipment, watching the rapidly stabilizing data from various indicators.

It could be said that every time one of Ye Kuang’s indicators reached the normal range, it would elicit several exclamations of shock.

“Blood pressure is stable too! Oh my god, is this even human?”

“Quick, quick, check the ECG again. How has it changed?”

“This is insane! Doctor, it’s now showing a sinus rhythm.”

“What about the pulse?”

“The patient previously had numerous holes in his lungs, leading to excessive blood loss and a very weak pulse. But now it’s normalizing, and the heartbeat is stabilizing. This is nothing short of a miracle.”

“What about the other indicators?”

“Blood sugar hasn’t changed!”

“Brainwaves are normal.”

“Platelet count has returned to normal!”

…

As Ye Kuang’s indicators stabilized one after another, along with these unbelievable discoveries, the doctors and nurses couldn’t help but feel as if they had seen a ghost.

One person’s startled cry followed another, making the emergency room the scene of what could be called the world’s most leisurely yet heart-pounding surgery.

“Doctor, all of the patient’s indicators have stabilized.”

“Hmm… Keep observing. Don’t miss any data or symptom changes, understood?”

“Understood, Doctor. But I have a question: Why hasn’t the patient woken up yet?”

“Logically, he should have woken up by now. But there’s no sign of him regaining consciousness, which indirectly indicates he’s in a deep coma. It will take time to recover; it’s not something that can be observed overnight. Remember that.”

…

When the emergency room light changed from red to green, the Elder was the first to notice. He couldn’t help but mutter nervously, “Three hours… finally, there’s a result.”

As he spoke, his figure suddenly vanished, only to reappear in the blink of an eye outside the emergency room door. His speed was so fast it was nearly imperceptible to the naked eye, as if he had reached the limits of human capability.

The Chief couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement. If he weren’t so familiar with the Elder, he might not dare to stay near him.

Truly, a human body with the power of a monster.

At that moment, the treating doctor and the nurses emerged from the room one after another, each wearing a horrified expression.

Seeing this, the Elder’s heart sank, and a sense of unease began to spread within him.

The Chief: “Director Liu, that kid…”

At this point, the Chief showed both eagerness to know the outcome and fear that it might not be what he hoped for, clearly hesitating to speak further.Director Liu: “Old Chen, we’ve known each other for many years, so I won’t hide it from you. You’ve really brought me a difficult case this time. This young man’s vitality is truly extraordinary… Although he has escaped the worst outcome, his life still hangs by a thread. Whether he lives or dies remains unknown…”
