Chapter 128: Xiao Chenchen – The Era of Xiao Chen Has Arrived!

How could I know?

No… the real question is—how could I not know?

As the rightful heir of the Guigu School, how could I not know?

Xiao Chen ignored Wang Siquan's words and instead muttered to himself:

"The legendary Guigu Shenzhen acupuncture technique consists of nine needles in total. One to relieve pain. Two to dispel cold. Three to reduce fever. Four to stop bleeding. Five to regenerate flesh. Six to cleanse the organs. Seven to mend bones. Eight to restore the soul. And the ninth..."

A brilliant light of confidence flashed in his eyes.

"The ninth needle… Hades' Salvation!"

"As long as there is still a breath left, I can snatch a life back from the hands of the King of Hell!"

The crowd erupted into an uproar.

"How could such a terrifying acupuncture technique exist?"

"The first few needles seem plausible, but the later ones? This is absurd!"

"Especially the ninth needle—bringing someone back from the brink of death? Impossible!"

"I've practiced medicine for years, but I've never heard of such an acupuncture technique!"

"I refuse to believe such godly medical skills exist!"

Wang Siquan, however, shook his head solemnly.

"No! What he says is true. The Guigu Shenzhen technique really is this miraculous! The key lies in using acupuncture to stimulate the body's hidden potential."

"We all know that the human body is an unparalleled treasure trove of power. If properly stimulated, even an ordinary person can attain godlike resilience! In that case, what is healing and saving lives in comparison?"

Gasps filled the hall.

"Could this medical art really be that powerful?"

"Unbelievable!"

"The first six needles are fine, but the last three seem almost mythical!"

"So traditional Chinese medicine is this formidable?"

The crowd wavered in their skepticism. After all, Wang Siquan's medical expertise was recognized by all, and even he held the Guigu Shenzhen technique in such high regard.

Xiao Chen smirked, a hint of arrogance in his expression—like a dragon king sitting cross-legged in his throne.

"Of course, not just anyone can master this technique!"

Wang Siquan studied Xiao Chen intently.

"To learn the Guigu Shenzhen technique, three conditions must be met. First, one must possess a rare constitution, able to sense the subtle flow of qi within the body. Such individuals are exceedingly rare."

"Second, this acupuncture method requires rigorous training from a young age. Only after years of mastering human acupuncture points, organ functions, and meridian flows can one even begin to grasp its secrets."

"Third, unparalleled medical aptitude is essential! The first six needles are relatively common, but the last three are the essence of the Guigu Shenzhen technique. The seventh needle can regenerate bones, the eighth can restore the soul, and the ninth… can reverse death itself!"

"Each successive needle is exponentially more difficult to master. Without extraordinary talent, learning beyond the sixth needle is impossible!"

Wang Siquan sighed.

"The requirements are simply too high. In the past few centuries, only a handful of people have ever fully mastered the Guigu Shenzhen technique. Even those who reach the seventh needle are rare!"

The crowd erupted once more.

"No wonder I've never heard of it—it's because so few can learn it!"

"In centuries, only a handful have mastered all nine needles?!"

"The bar is impossibly high! Most wouldn't even stand a chance!"

"But if someone truly masters it… that would be legendary!"

Xiao Chen smirked again, his confidence radiating even more.

"These secrets belong to the ancient medical arts. How is it that you, an ordinary patient, know them so well? Who are you?" Wang Siquan asked, his gaze serious.

All eyes turned to Xiao Chen, filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Xiao Chen straightened his back, his head held high, exuding an aura of destiny.

"Wang Siquan, you want to know who I am? Then listen closely!"

"I am the contemporary successor of the Guigu School—Xiao Chen!"

The hall fell into chaos.

"What?! He's a descendant of the Guigu School?"

"He inherited the Guigu Shenzhen technique?"

"Can he really mend broken bones and bring the dead back to life?"

The uproar electrified Xiao Chen.

The long-lost cheers.

The long-lost applause.

This… this is my stage!

This is the moment where I, Xiao Chen, rise to power!

In his past life, he had climbed to prominence on this very stage!

Although Lin Beifan had eventually crushed him, it didn't change the fact that he had once stood at the peak.

Now, he had returned!

The King had returned!

And this time, without Lin Beifan suppressing him, nothing would stand in his way. His rise would be unstoppable!

His gaze swept across the room, past the familiar and unfamiliar faces—these people would witness his ascent!

Finally, his eyes landed on a particular figure, their face filled with astonishment.

"Rainye… look carefully. Only I am worthy of you!"

"And Lin Beifan… the humiliation you inflicted on me—I will return it tenfold!"

Fueled by determination, Xiao Chen's confidence soared.

Like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate—this was his moment to rise!

Wang Siquan's voice trembled slightly.

"You… you're truly a descendant of the Guigu School?"

Xiao Chen chuckled arrogantly.

"Would I need to lie?"

His unwavering confidence left little room for doubt.

Only a true master could speak with such certainty. And to describe the Guigu Shenzhen technique in such detail—who else but a direct heir could do that?

Eighty percent of what Xiao Chen said had to be true.

Wang Siquan hesitated before asking,

"Then… how many needles have you mastered?"

Xiao Chen smirked.

"Before I left the mountain, I had already mastered the eighth needle. Now, I can barely use the ninth."

He hadn't fully grasped the final needle yet, but his accumulated knowledge from two lifetimes had allowed him to push the boundary.

As the saying goes—misfortune and fortune are two sides of the same coin.

Wang Siquan's eyes widened.

"You've already learned the ninth needle?!"

The crowd erupted in astonishment.

"This young man has already mastered the ninth needle—Hades' Salvation!"

"Does that mean he's a legendary doctor in his own right?"

"He's still so young, yet already so powerful!"

"His future is limitless!"

Xiao Chen soaked in the admiration and awe.

Yes. This… this is how a protagonist's journey should unfold!

Everything before had been a mistake.

But now—this was the beginning of an era.

The era of Xiao Chen has arrived!
