"Captain Han, Tang Geng! You're here?"
Seeing Tang Geng carrying Han Lang, a member of the second squad who was originally responsible for taking care of Ma Long quickly got up to greet them.
It was precisely because of this remark that Liu Xiaoxiao and Tang Qin, who were also visiting Ma Long, were both slightly startled.
"Han Lang? Why are you here? Is your injury healed?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked first, concerned.
"Tang Geng, you're really something. At this time, even if Han Lang wanted to come, you shouldn't have helped him! If his injury is aggravated and leads to more serious consequences, how can you live with yourself!"
Hearing Tang Qin's reprimand, Tang Geng also looked wronged.
Before he could explain, Han Lang weakly interjected.
"It's not Tang Geng's fault. I insisted on coming myself. I was very worried about Brother Ma's injury and wanted to see him. Besides, I'm not seriously injured. I'll be fine after a little rest later! Heh heh..."
Hearing Han Lang's own reply, Liu Xiaoxiao and Tang Qin were both skeptical.
But since Han Lang insisted that Tang Geng place him beside Ma Long, they didn't say anything more.
After Han Lang sat down, without any hesitation, he first took Ma Long's pulse and began to diagnose him carefully.
But the diagnosis revealed something unexpected, and his expression changed drastically.
Tang Qin was quite familiar with Han Lang's medical skills. Seeing his panicked expression, her heart sank.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? The field doctor said he was just overexerted and should be fine after resting."
Han Lang pursed his lips solemnly and replied.
"Overexertion is correct. However, due to the full power mutation of the S-class ability user's final strike, Brother Ma's body was also severely affected. Although he appears fine now, in a few days, the disordered spiritual energy in his body will surge erratically. It would be a minor issue if it just caused discomfort, but I fear it could lead to a reversal of the meridians, and then he might never wake up!"
Hearing this diagnosis, Tang Qin and Tang Geng were shocked.
They had initially thought that Ma Long was merely overexerted and would be fine with more rest.
But now, Han Lang said his injury could be life-threatening.
How could they not be alarmed?
"Then what should we do? Can you save him?"
"Yes, Brother Han Lang, is your current physical condition allowing you to administer acupuncture to Brother Ma Long?"
Hearing their request, Liu Xiaoxiao was completely confused.
She couldn't understand why Tang Qin and Tang Geng didn't trust the field doctor but instead believed Han Lang's diagnosis implicitly.
Just as Han Lang was about to give an affirmative answer, Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back and immediately suggested.
"Wait. If you have doubts about the field doctor's diagnosis, I think it's best to arrange for other doctors to examine Ma Long again. You are not doctors. If you rashly try to treat him and the problem worsens, wouldn't that harm Ma Long?"
Hearing this, Tang Qin and Tang Geng looked at Liu Xiaoxiao with surprise.
Liu Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty under their gaze.
She even asked weakly, lacking confidence.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Hearing this, Tang Qin and Tang Geng suddenly came to their senses.
They then remembered that after Han Lang joined the special forces, he hadn't really displayed his medical skills.
The only time was during the arena competition when he helped the defeated Ouyang Tuo set his bones.
However, Liu Xiaoxiao was far from the arena that time and couldn't see Han Lang's technique clearly.
Even if she felt surprised, she would have dismissed it as ordinary bone setting.
She wouldn't have thought anything of it.
Therefore, at this moment, they needed to explain to Liu Xiaoxiao.
"It's like this, Lieutenant Liu. Before joining the special forces, Han Lang was the best traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in our Lecheng. His hospital was even renowned throughout Lecheng. Patients who visited his hospital were almost always cured. Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with him diagnosing Ma Long."
"That's right. Given the friendship between Brother Han Lang and Brother Ma Long, he would never harm him. Lieutenant Liu, please rest assured!"
Liu Xiaoxiao's doubts grew even stronger after hearing this.
"What? Han Lang is a TCM practitioner? Can such a young TCM practitioner be trusted? Are you being deceived by him!"
Hearing Liu Xiaoxiao's skepticism, Han Lang couldn't help but chuckle.
"Lieutenant Liu, are you looking down on me or TCM by saying that?"
Liu Xiaoxiao was speechless at the retort.
"This... Han Lang, I don't mean any harm. It's just that TCM has been in decline for many years, and you are so young. To be honest, it's really hard for me to believe your medical skills!"
Hearing Liu Xiaoxiao's answer, Han Lang also felt relieved.
It was certain that Liu Xiaoxiao had no ill intentions.
Moreover, in this society, with Western medicine prevailing, it was understandable that most Chinese people no longer believed in TCM.
Therefore, Han Lang was not angry. He said calmly to Liu Xiaoxiao.
"I understand Lieutenant Liu's intentions. You are also considering Brother Ma's injury, and I can understand your thoughts. However, TCM has been passed down for thousands of years, and its methods and experience in treating illnesses are far superior to Western medicine. It's just that in today's society, too many people are using TCM as a guise to treat people, which leads to the public's distrust. I don't know how to explain it to you in a short time, but I'd like to ask you, have you heard of Shen Nong Tian Yi?"
Shen Nong Tian Yi?
Hearing these four words, Liu Xiaoxiao was struck by lightning!
"You mean... the Shen Nong Tian Yi that only exists in legends, capable of resurrecting the dead and curing all diseases?"
"Resurrecting the dead is a bit exaggerated. But I think 'curing all diseases' is quite fitting."
Seeing Han Lang answer so casually, Liu Xiaoxiao's mouth fell open even wider in shock.
She had heard of the name Shen Nong Tian Yi.
Moreover, in the cultivator world, the legend of Shen Nong Tian Yi was even more prevalent than in the ordinary world.
Many ignorant people only knew that Shen Nong Tian Yi could only treat ordinary illnesses, but Liu Xiaoxiao knew that Shen Nong Tian Yi was equally miraculous in treating cultivators.
As for why she knew so much, it was because of her own hidden ailment, which had become a persistent worry.
For many years, she had sought out famous doctors, but none could cure her condition.
The last time, she found an old field doctor who had lived in seclusion for many years.
The old doctor told her that he was helpless with her problem.
Furthermore, unless Shen Nong Tian Yi reappeared in the world, she would have only a slim chance. Otherwise, in this lifetime, she would only suffer from the torment of illness, her cultivation would gradually decline, and eventually, she would revert to the appearance of an ordinary person.
However, when she anxiously asked where to find Shen Nong Tian Yi.
The old doctor could only shake his head helplessly, leaving her with a useless remark.
"It's a matter of fate!"
This almost made her feel like the sky had fallen.
If she couldn't find Shen Nong Tian Yi, it would mean that from then on, she would have to bid farewell to her beloved special forces, become an ordinary person, and endure the torment of illness alone until her death.
Therefore, when she heard that Han Lang was Shen Nong Tian Yi, her reaction was so intense.
