Ouyang Feng had thought Da Xiong was on the brink of death just moments ago.
Unexpectedly, it was merely exhaustion.
Now, Ouyang Feng felt incredibly awkward, wishing he could find a crack in the floor to disappear into!
Zhou Yu did not pay much attention to Ouyang Feng's expression. After a few words, he followed the stretcher into the infirmary.
Da Xiong was assigned to the inner room of the medical bay.
When Zhou Yu entered, the medical team had already started an IV drip of glucose for him.
Zhao Ruyue saw Zhou Yu enter and quickly put down the tray in her hands, walking over to his side. "Did you see him just now? This child..."
Before Zhao Ruyue could finish speaking, Zhou Yu raised his hand, stopping her mid-sentence.
Just as Zhao Ruyue was looking surprised.
Ouyang Feng rushed in, a flush still on his face. He said to Zhou Yu, "Divine Doctor Zhou, since Da Xiong is out of danger, let me stay and watch over him."
"The 'God of War Leng' is still outside. Don't waste time in the infirmary!"
The 'God of War Leng'?
Zhao Ruyue had been busy inside the infirmary and had no idea about Leng Xue's arrival.
She was stunned on the spot.
The news was so impactful that Zhao Ruyue didn't even notice the other information in Ouyang Feng's words.
"No need. I'll wait here for Da Xiong to wake up and have a chat. You go join the excitement yourself."
Zhou Yu calmly refused.
That woman had publicly broken off their engagement.
Although Zhou Yu had intended to break it off himself, the experience was still unpleasant.
At this point, why should he go and cause misunderstandings?
Ouyang Feng was surprised that Zhou Yu wasn't even tempted by the prospect of excitement.
His expression immediately turned touched!
"Divine Doctor Zhou, you are so good to us."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you. I'll describe everything I see and hear later!"
After speaking.
Ouyang Feng couldn't hold back any longer and bolted!
Zhou Yu coughed awkwardly and said to Zhao Ruyue, "I can see now that Da Xiong's body is not as simple as it appears."
"Don't spread the word yet."
Zhao Ruyue then nodded distractedly.
In reality, she was still lost in the news of Leng Xue's surprise arrival at the new recruit training base!
Zhou Yu spoke a lot, almost to himself.
Only then did he notice Zhao Ruyue's dazed state. He frowned and waved his palm in front of her.
After a while, Zhao Ruyue finally came back to her senses. "Ah?"
"I said, Da Xiong's physical condition cannot be revealed to anyone except Elder Lin."
"What are you thinking about? Why aren't you responding when I call you?"
Zhou Yu said with some helplessness.
Zhao Ruyue quickly nodded.
In truth, Zhao Ruyue had also seen that Da Xiong was not just suffering from exhaustion.
There were other problems with his body.
But she didn't have the ability to pinpoint them.
They would require a thorough instrumental examination!
However, Zhou Yu's words just now indicated that he already knew, and very likely had even found the cause.
This meant there was no need for a large-scale examination...
"Why did Leng Xue come?" Zhao Ruyue tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and asked casually.
Zhou Yu shook his head. "Likely regarding the Sun Yu incident from before. Just say whatever she asks, don't be nervous."
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Zhao Ruyue felt uneasy all over!
How could she not be nervous?
Leng Xue, as the 'Dragon Group's God of War', rarely visited new recruit training.
Yet, this time she had come...
Who was she here for?
Was it really for Sun Yu!
After all, other members of the Dragon Group could have taken Sun Yu for interrogation.
There was no need for Leng Xue to make a special trip.
A woman's intuition told Zhao Ruyue that things were not that simple!
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu had no intention of discussing Leng Xue. After a few brief remarks, he sat by the bed and began to take Da Xiong's pulse.
Zhao Ruyue sat not far away, gazing at her hands, her thoughts wandering elsewhere!
The more Zhou Yu took Da Xiong's pulse, the deeper his frown became.
When Da Xiong had first come off the stage, Zhou Yu had truly believed it was just exhaustion.
However, when Zhou Yu had helped Ouyang Feng support Da Xiong onto the stretcher.
He had casually felt Da Xiong's pulse and immediately realized something was wrong!
Even with exhaustion, why would his pulse be so erratic?
Clearly, an energy was rampaging within Da Xiong's body.
This energy felt like true qi, but it wasn't entirely so!
It had never appeared before.
Even Zhou Yu himself was unsure if the energy appearing in Da Xiong's body was related to the injury inflicted by Sun Yu.
Or perhaps, he had merely been injured during his fight with Jin Shenghuo just now?
This was why Zhou Yu had stopped Zhao Ruyue from saying more.
To avoid Ouyang Feng overhearing later.
That big mouth might accidentally leak the news and cause panic!
"What exactly is wrong with Da Xiong?"
Zhao Ruyue, sitting beside him, saw Zhou Yu's brow furrowing deeper and couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Yu shook his head and spoke the truth. "Da Xiong's current condition is very grim."
"It looks like Jin Shenghuo's true qi entered his body, mixed with some other substances, and is now damaging his meridians."
"If left unchecked, even if Da Xiong wakes up, he'll be crippled!"
This was also why Zhou Yu had been reluctant to go and join the crowd.
Time was limited!
This true qi wouldn't wait for Zhou Yu to return before causing trouble.
Identifying the cause of the illness was already difficult, and if treatment was further delayed, by the time Zhou Yu returned, he would only see a crippled Da Xiong.
As a martial artist, life could be sacrificed.
But cultivation could not!
If Da Xiong truly became crippled, he himself would be the first to be unable to accept it.
Zhao Ruyue's expression also turned serious. "Then what should we do?"
"First, we need to expel the true qi from his body. I'll see if I can find a way to remove the remaining impurities."
Zhou Yu quickly formulated a treatment plan.
After explaining it to Zhao Ruyue, Zhou Yu unceremoniously took a prescription form and wrote down a long list of medicinal ingredients.
He asked Zhao Ruyue to find a way to gather them.
Then, he took out his silver needles, preparing to expel the true qi from Da Xiong's body.
The situation was critical, and Zhao Ruyue no longer had the mind to think about other things.
She took the prescription and left quickly.
Only Zhou Yu and the unconscious Da Xiong remained in the infirmary.
"Look at you, not knowing when to stop exerting yourself."
"Now look, you're about to become crippled."
Zhou Yu sighed. Regardless of whether Da Xiong could hear him, he began to apply acupuncture while muttering.
In a short while.
Da Xiong's acupuncture points were filled with silver needles.
