The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 609: The Ghost Gate Seven Deadly Needles
What was meant to be a symposium had directly turned into a competition between two sides, but this made it more interesting and exciting.
For this, The First Hospital and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner exchange group even arranged the rules of the competition, and had already found a patient.
According to the rules, the competition consisted of three rounds in total, with the first round being acupuncture, which was Ye Chenfeng’s specialty.
The participant from Japan was known as the Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin, dressed in a long black robe with a skull embroidered at the collar, giving off an eerie and foreboding presence, like a ghoul incarnate.
Moriyama Nojin’s eyes shone with a chilling light as he looked down at Ye Chenfeng, not taking him seriously at all. In his view, such a young doctor was just hyped up, and comparing his decades of medical experience to Ye Chenfeng’s was an utter insult to him.
But in this setting, he could only use his miraculous medical skills to emphatically slap the face of the arrogant Ye Chenfeng.
At this moment, the competition between the two sides began, unbeknownst to the many eyes that were intently watching the event, including Jiang Qi and others.
"Please bring in the patient!" announced the host.
As soon as the words were spoken, a gurney was pushed onto the stage from the back, on which lay an elderly man, or more accurately, a vegetable patient with hollow eyes, stiff limbs, and only a faint breath.
"Is this a vegetative person?" someone in the audience asked.
Ye Chenfeng focused his attention on the elderly man and noticed that everything was normal with his brain, with no signs of impact or the like.
Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng felt a stark shock in his heart – the patient had been scared, or to put it more mysteriously, had "lost three souls."
People from the Divine Land definitely had heard of the concept of "three souls and seven spirits." Every living thing has a soul; plants only have one vegetative soul without conscious or spiritual souls; animals have one vegetative soul and one spiritual soul; humans possess three different kinds of souls: spiritual, conscious, and vegetative.
Once any of the three souls go missing, a person becomes like a walking corpse.
In reality, the elderly man had been frightened, his nerves stimulated, and he hadn’t woken up since.
Could it be that someone deliberately tampered with the elderly man to challenge him? Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but glance at Moriyama Nojin, who was looking over the patient, with a serious expression and a hint of shock in his eyes.
Ye Chenfeng concluded it wasn’t him.
"Your father only became like this recently, didn’t he?" Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help asking.
"Yes, Divine Doctor, how did you know?" the middle-aged man asked with a face full of surprise and urgency.
"You don’t need to worry about that for now. I want to ask if your father has been to any cemeteries or places like that recently."
"I don’t know. Oh, right, he went out the day before he collapsed," replied the middle-aged man.
"So it seems our little Divine Doctor from Divine Land is all talk, isn’t he? If you’re going to diagnose, just diagnose; there’s no need to drag into it the places the patient has been. It looks like our Ghost Doctor is going to win without breaking a sweat," taunted a Japanese spectator mockingly upon seeing this.
Following the sayings of Divine Land, the patient has lost the three souls out of the three souls and seven spirits, but my Ghost Profound Seven Needles can summon back the three souls, haha!" Suddenly, Moriyama Nojin’s eyes shone, and he laughed aloud.
Ye Chenfeng looked at him with disdain, taking what was clearly a case of fright and dressing it up in such mysterious trappings.
"The Ghost Doctor is mighty! The Ghost Doctor will win!" Supporters of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner exchange group began to chant loudly, as if the Ghost Doctor had already won the competition.
"What is the ’Three Souls’?" Many Japanese people in attendance were clearly baffled, and the host quickly looked up the information and displayed it on the big screen.
"Hiss!"
The crowd gasped in unison. This was something pertaining to the spiritual level of the human body, and could it really be resolved with miraculous acupuncture? Everyone was eagerly waiting.
Ye Chenfeng also looked at the Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin with great interest.
Moriyama Nojin snorted arrogantly and said, "Let this ignorant child see what true acupuncture is all about!"
"I’m all eyes," Ye Chenfeng chuckled.
Moriyama Nojin slowly took out a small black bag from his long robe, on which a fierce and terrifying skull was carved.
Next, Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin took out seven strangely-shaped black needles from the black bag. Some looked like fruit knives, others like forks, and one of the curved needles, when extended, was actually a meter long and emitted a dark and gloomy light, making many people shiver. The thought of those needles piercing their own flesh was simply unimaginable.
However, Ye Chenfeng was furious. These were originally the treasures of the Ghost Doctor Sect from the Divine Land, the Ghost Gate Seven Deadly Needles, and he had not expected that they would end up in the hands of the Japanese.
Moriyama Nojin chanted something softly, and then two bundles of black light appeared on the thumb and index finger of his right hand. He then took out the silver needle that resembled a fruit knife and scraped it across the old man’s neck, causing a small piece of flesh to startlingly fall off, making everyone’s scalp tingle.
The first of the Ghost Profound Seven Needles, the "Little Ghost Piercing Point", was then followed by Moriyama Nojin inserting each of the strangely shaped black needles into the old man’s body. Shockingly, the crowd saw the old man, who had seemed dead, began to look rosy-cheeked, and his arms even moved unconsciously.
The final needle made Moriyama Nojin extremely nervous. Beads of sweat the size of beans incessantly dripped down. For the final needle, Moriyama Nojin used that meter-long black needle, which sent shivers down the spine of the onlookers, as it could pierce through the human body.
Schtick!
Everyone clearly heard the sound of bone being pierced. With that meter-long black needle, Moriyama Nojin had actually pierced the old man straight through, entering from the back and protruding through the chest.
"Hiss!"
Everyone’s eyes twitched violently at this horrifying sight—the man had been skewered.
"Cough, cough!"
Just then, a cough rang out, and the previously silent room boiled over. It was the sound made by the old man.
"Bravo!" The First Lady was the first to start applauding, followed by a thunderous ovation.
"God, it can even cure this. Acupuncture is truly miraculous!" The crowd couldn’t stop marveling.
There was also jubilation among the delegation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners from Japan, and Moriyama Nojin, wiping the cold sweat from his brow, put away the last needle.
Even the people from the Medical Spirit Hall were utterly astounded. Being able to summon back the ’Three Souls’ was a prowess that made Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin seem monstrously talented.
However, there were three people in the room who remained calm: naturally, one was Ye Chenfeng, the other two were Liu Yueming and Lin Qingzhu. They realized that there must be something amiss, as they observed Ye Chenfeng remaining so composed.
"Hahaha..." Suddenly, the old man sprung up from the treatment bed and started rushing at people, laughing mindlessly and looking as if he had gone mad.
