Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1837 - 1697: Berserk Growth (Part 2)
At this moment, Guan Yu’s expression became very unpleasant. He had already understood what Guan Ping’s infinite internal Qi was about, and likewise, he understood the greatest downside of infinite internal Qi.
This internal Qi, which had not undergone will assimilation, when encountering a master like him who was strong enough to directly plunder the Heaven and Earth Essence to strengthen attacks, left Guan Ping utterly powerless to resist.
"Come over here!" Guan Yu shouted towards Guan Ping.
Guan Ping hurried over, and Guan Yu didn’t say much, put away his weapon, and left with Guan Ping. This was not the place to talk.
"So strong..." Huang Xu looked at Guan Yu, who had sent Guan Ping flying with just a finger, with a face full of admiration. Guan Ping was a true Inner Qi Manifestation warrior!
Huang Zhong looked at Huang Xu with a depressed mood, directly placing his hand on his head, "How long until you become an Inner Qi Manifestation?"
Huang Xu looked at his old dad awkwardly. To be honest, if Huang Zhong couldn’t beat any of these people present, it was entirely Huang Xu’s fault.
"Hehe, brother-in-law, seems like that’s all you’ve got, look at Guan Yunchang over there." Ma Chao was beaten badly by Zhao Yun, but he wouldn’t admit defeat by mouth.
"Brother Yun, beat my big brother to death!" Ma Yunlu suddenly jumped out and cheered on the side. Speaking of which, Ma Yunlu was already at a breaking point, but now that Ma Chao had discovered it, she didn’t care anymore, as long as Zhao Yun could withstand Ma Chao’s pressure it was not a problem at all.
"Hehe..." Zhao Yun’s face turned cold as he pulled the Green Steel Sword out of its sheath and stuck it into the ground. Originally, the internal Qi covering just the Dragon Gall Spear suddenly covered Zhao Yun’s entire body, "Although that state consumes a lot, however..."
Zhao Yun roared, the internal Qi on his body burst to its limit, and in the next instant directly formed a ten-foot-tall phantom. The giant raised its foot and stomped on Ma Chao, and after the stomp, it rubbed twice with great force before disappearing.
When Zhao Yun, with arms crossed, returned to his normal form, Ma Chao was already embedded in the earth, not because Zhao Yun humiliated him, but because Ma Chao was really asking for it by constantly upsetting Ma Yunlu, making Zhao Yun’s days restless.
"I always feel our Martial Arts Arena is developing in an abnormal direction." Liu Bei looked from Dian Wei’s explosion to Zhao Yun planting Ma Chao into the dirt, finding it all too much to handle.
"Hehehe, being lively isn’t necessarily bad." Cao Cao said with a smile.
"Our civil officials have arrived." Liu Bei noticed Chen Xi leading a large group over, then turned to Cao Cao and said, "Oh, some incredible people have come, let us meet them."
Cao Cao, slightly puzzled, glanced at Liu Bei, who didn’t say much, so he followed along. Upon seeing Chen Xi leading two middle-aged men, he had some speculation.
"Greetings, Lord Xuande, Minister of Works." Chen Xi saluted first, followed by Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, also saluting. Then Cao Cao’s gaze towards them warmed considerably.
There was no choice, the achievements of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing in this world were very significant. The reason for not ennobling them was actually because Liu Xie hadn’t come around to it. In reality, during every court session, someone would suggest ennobling Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, and now Liu Xie seemed somewhat persuaded.
To put it simply, the same battlefield emergency medicine, made with Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing’s prescriptions, after stopping bleeding externally, could also be consumed internally, with excellent effects.
Before Hua Tuo joined, after developing hemostatic medicine, taking some blood-tonic pills shortly after blood clotting would most often cause wound reopening, an absolute trap that saved many veterans just with this trick.
Speaking of rough and tumble veterans, the vast majority still couldn’t learn bandaging, hemostasis, and disinfection. Chen Xi was utterly impressed, not understanding at all what was unlearnable about this!
"Could you check whether my lord has any potential diseases?" Xun Yu said via voice transmission to Cao Cao, briefly describing what had previously happened before speaking.
Hua Tuo looked at Cao Cao and then Liu Bei, "Long-term stress, heavy burdens, Qi and fire are both elevated."
"Uh..." Chen Xi scratched his head, "Just tell us the conclusion directly."
Chen Xi was waiting for big news, brain surgery, haha; however, in this world with talents, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing could do this safely without any issues, but scaring Cao Cao was still possible.
"There’s no major problem, just needs adjustment. For things like this, it’s best to consult with yourself or Ji Xiang, doing more things you want to do, having a relaxed mind, everything will be fine." Zhang Zhongjing said, after taking Cao Cao’s pulse, "Healthier than half the people behind you."
"Cough cough cough." Chen Xi felt embarrassed, there was absolutely no problem, what about the trepanation?
"However, you are currently at a fairly dangerous stage. If this continues, there could be diseases, or even more severe conditions like wind invading the brain. So do things to make yourself happy, everything goes smoothly, and the chances of illness are very small." Hua Tuo looked at Cao Cao, but his eyes kept glancing towards Dian Wei and Xuu Chu.
"Thank you both." Cao Cao bowed with cupped fists, knowing exactly why he had such psychological pressure and why he wasn’t at ease, so how could he be peaceful?
"No need to be polite. Keeping oneself useful is more important than anything. Being alive, in this era, matters more than anything. As for ideals, maybe once you see through the fog, you can truly understand your own ideals." Zhang Zhongjing subtly hinted to Cao Cao, but also didn’t spell it out.
Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, and Qu Qi were actually highly regarded under Liu Bei, so they had access to many things ordinary people could not. And for someone like Zhang Zhongjing, who was appointed to the position of Prefect of Changsha Commandery at just over thirty years old, could he have any issues with his intellect?
Logically speaking, Zhang Zhongjing’s political sensitivity wasn’t even behind those under Liu Bei, but the aura of being a divine doctor was so large it was overlooked.
"Oh, thank you, Divine Doctor, for the guidance." Cao Cao bowed in return but didn’t dwell on it.
Soon after, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing moved in Dian Wei’s direction, and a large crowd quickly surrounded Dian Wei, making him a bit at a loss, as he was originally about to continue training.
"I presume you are General Dian." Hua Tuo’s eyes almost glistened because Dian Wei’s Qi and blood were very vigorous, and with Hua Tuo’s eyesight, he could clearly observe the perfection in his body.
"That’s me, Dian Wei. I wonder what’s the matter, elder?" Dian Wei spoke cheerfully.
"Could you cooperate with us a little?" Zhang Zhongjing asked.
Dian Wei foolishly nodded, and Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, without using any equipment, began examining him. Ultimately, relying on experience, they estimated data that made both Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing frown, as the data was very high but not as exaggerated as they thought.
In simple terms, the various data estimated based on Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing’s experience, was higher than Zhou Tai’s, but not by much; in fact, in terms of cell activity, it was inferior to Zhou Tai, meaning if both were injured equally, Dian Wei wouldn’t recover as fast as Zhou Tai.
Zhang Jii and Hua Tuo looked at each other with confusion, then looked back at Dian Wei also with confusion, thinking it shouldn’t be like this. According to their previous estimates, Dian Wei’s data should be at least five times that of Zhou Tai, but the results showed little difference.
"Human limits?" Hua Tuo asked Zhang Zhongjing.
"It’s possible, but it needs comparison." Zhang Zhongjing said with a peculiar expression, "Could we invite Zhou Youping and Zhang Yide?"
The crowd was bewildered, but as these two spoke, someone quickly brought over Zhou Tai and Zhang Fei; the four muscle-bound behemoths standing together indeed provided much amusement.
Then Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing cross-examined them one by one, finally realizing they possibly encountered the limit of mortals, meaning the body does seem to have a limit.
"Limits exist?" Dian Wei scratched his head, "Is that what you mean?" While speaking, Dian Wei removed the limits of his body, his aura ascending steadily.
At that moment, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing’s eyes nearly sparkled as they simultaneously activated their talents for pulse-checking. They instantly noticed a significant difference in Dian Wei compared to before, as his body indexes soared, akin to having consumed a potent energizer!
