The Eternal System
System 48: Method of Acupuncture
The eyes filled with determination were emanated clearly and could be felt directly by elder Gong. It felt like hypnosis and went straight into Li Chen's own feelings.
“Good. I leave it to you..”.
The submission of the decision from elder Gong made the entire room startled. They opened their eyes and mouth wide and said the same word.
“APA?!”
Shang Li who understood more about medicine and said that not being able to cure him immediately denied elder Gong's decision.
“Old Gong, this is the life of your grandson! You let a new student handle this?!” refute Shang Li
“Shang Li, I agree with this boy. Someone who does not dare to take risks will not be able to move forward. Even if you have to risk his life though, you have to brave” elder Gong said
“But-!”
Shang Li who was still insisting was no longer ignored by elder Gong. He turned his way over to Li Chen while patting him on the shoulder.
“Use the time you have son. I count on you” said elder Gong
That spirit speech made Li Chen suddenly open his eyes wide. He turned his head and looked at Elder Gong who was walking past him until he came out of the room. So was Ying Yue who stood beside Li Chen and whispered in his ear.
“Li Chen, don't be rash”
Ying Yue walked out following elder Gong. And as for Shang Li, he still gritted his teeth and fists firmly as if he still did not accept the decision. He walked over and stared intently at Li Chen.
“Bocah..”
Call Shang Li who made Li Chen draw his gaze forward.
“JIka something happened to elder Gong's grandson, you are the one who will first suffer the consequences!”
Shang Li spoke as if he was threatening Li Chen. But, deep down, Li Chen understood that Shang Li was only worried about Gong Qiao's condition. And it was logical to trust Li Chen who had no medical background, it would only look like a fool.
However, Shang Li could not argue with elder Gong's decision. He walked past Li Chen after saying that. Followed by the two old men Gong Qiao who were walking behind him.
Before they came out, Li Chen turned around and called Gong Qiao's mother.
“Mrs!” call Li Chen
The face that was filled with tears turned its head and stared sedu at Li Chen.
“I need a lady to help me. But, this will also be very risky for your life!”
The mother was stunned silent when she saw Li Chen's gaze and plea. She changed her gaze and looked towards her husband who was nodding slowly as if trying to trust Li Chen.
“If that's enough to save my daughter's life..” Said Gong Qiao's father
“Then I'm willing to do it!” please continue Gong Qiao's mother
After seeing her husband's response, Gong Qiao's mother immediately walked over to Li Chen and in the room together with Gong Qiao.
Li Chen turned around and looked towards Gong Qiao who was still lying on the bed and held back his moans. The veins from his entire body looked so tense as if they could explode at any moment. Gritting teeth are so strong and also the eyes are wide open can not stand the pain.
“UUGGHH!!”
Li Chen and Gong Qiao's mother directly walked up to him.
“Li Chen, what should I do?!” ask Gong Qiao's mother
Li Chen opened one of his palms and took out the acupuncture needles he had obtained from the previous system.
“I will use the technique of acupuncture to suppress this demonic curse. Madam, please lift Gong Qiao's body and..”.
Gong Qiao's mother directly carried out the orders from Li Chen. However, according to Shang Li's words, when he touched Gong Qiao's body, his body was instantly burned and infected with the demon curse.
“Uckh!” erang Gong Qiao's
“Mrs!” shouted Li Chen who was worried
“I'm fine! Next what?!” sahi Gong Qiao's mother
“As far as he goes, please take off his clothes..”.
Gong Qiao's mother was stunned when she heard that. How could a man she had just met tell her to undress her daughter? However, life was on the betting line and there was no time for him to doubt Li Chen.
Gong Qiao's mother immediately undressed her daughter. On appeal to what he saw from the front side, Li Chen was immediately shocked when he saw that the back of Gong Qiao's body was already covered by the spot of the demonic curse.
Needle by needle slipped all over his finger. Li Chen stood right behind Gong Qiao and prepared to stick his needle.
“I start!” muttered Li Chen
Gong Qiao's mother nodded towards Li Chen's warning. And at that moment, Gong Qiao and prepared to stick his needle.
“I start!” muttered Li Chen
Gong Qiao's mother nodded towards Li Chen's warning. And at that moment, Li Chen immediately channeled his Kinya energy into his acupuncture needles. He swung his needle and stabbed right at the acupuncture point of Gong Qiao's body.
Slep... slep…!!
Gong Qiao's two eyes opened wide and together with his mouth were screaming in pain.
“AACCKKHH!!”
The needle prick became the initial trigger where the explosion of demonic Ki energy began to explode just like when Shang Li was trying to heal him.
.dum…!!
Twice, three times and a fourth time, Li Chen and Gong Qiao's mother attempted to contain the explosion.
“Ugh!” erang Li Chen's
“How much longer?!” ask Gong Qiao's mother
“Shortly... again! I just need to hit the last point!”
Li Chen who was trying to hold on so as not to be knocked down by the demonic Ki wave, started to take out one more needle. He saw Gong Qiao's body which slowly began to return to a milky-white color. The demonic curse patch was left at one last point that was right at the back of his neck.
“Last point, got you!”
Slep….!!
The needle that pierced the last point instantly made the biggest response from within Gong Qiao's body.
“AAHHH!!”
That shout made an explosion of Ki energy that was so big. And Li Chen himself was entered by that demonic Ki energy and his eyes turned dark until his consciousness was carried somewhere.
His gaze saw flashes of memories moving so fast. A being with a monstrous body shape and energy, a man who was seen leaving the Liliang academy and returning with a body as well as abilities that were much more terrifying. It ravaged the contents of the academy and also attempted to capture someone.
From Li Chen's view, the flash was a fragment of Gong Qiao's memory. A bad memory that even made Li Chen break out in a cold sweat when he regained his senses and opened his two eyes.
“(So it.... what?!)”
When Li Chen was confused, the explosive effect of Ki's energy grew bigger and even made Gong Qiao's own mother who was back in Gong Qiao's clothes unable to hold her body anymore.
“Ahh!” shouted Gong Qiao's mother who was crashing backwards
“Mrs!”
Shouted Li Chen who immediately jumped back and caught Gong Qiao's mother. The explosion effect of Ki's energy did not last long. After easing up, Li Chen immediately focused his attention on Gong Qiao's mother who was inside his arms.
Li Chen looked at his body that was already contaminated by Gong Qiao's demonic curse. The point is right on the second part of his arm and also the left part of his face. The breath that was panting and also the body that was so hot as if it was equivalent to magma merapi.
“(It's still not too late! This contamination effect just happened, so I can press it quickly!)”
His hand was opened and again pulled out the acupuncture needles he had inside the system bag. The needle was swung and directly pierced into the three points that were still exposed to the demonic curse.
Slep…!!
“Ugh!” erang Gong Qiao's
That little groan was not as bad as Gong Qiao himself. The contamination from the demon curse was successfully suppressed by Li Chen. He saw Gong Qiao's mother begin to calm down and lose consciousness. Likewise when Li Chen raised his head and looked at Gong Qiao himself who was lying on the bed quietly.
No more black patches of demonic curses were visible on their skin. No screams of pain and satisfaction haunted him.
Li Chen, who saw the condition, leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Haah... i. succeeded....”.
He smiled thinly and proudly. Saving someone's life, was the first thing Li Chen did in the world. And also, he was able to stop the harsh reality of a family split for Gong Qiao and his two parents.
“Thankful..”.
