The legendary 'Three-Part Nine Pulse Diagnosis' technique, passed down from the Classic of Internal Medicine, was lost even among their Medical Guild.Qassim and his peers only heard of this rare pulse-diagnosing method through legends. They did not know exactly how it was performed but had a rough idea from hearsay.Observing Howser's reaction while he lay on the sickbed, Qassim was certain that Liam was using the Three-Part Nine Pulse Diagnosis technique."This-"Qassim's eyes were filled with disbelief. But this was just the beginning. After using the comprehensive diagnostic method on Howser, Liam frowned. He still could not identify the root cause of Howser's ailment. It seemed as if there was nothing wrong with Howser's body, even though his lower half was completely numb.Liam narrowed his eyes. The next moment, he clasped Howser's wrist with a sudden grip.'Pulse Meridian Method' from the 'Compendium of Pulses'!Seeing this, Qassim trembled, nearly collapsing to the grou
Although Liam did not know the exact extent of Howser’s medical expertise, the earlier reaction from Qassim gave him some clues. Even with such advanced medical skills, Liam could not make a definitive diagnosis about his condition. There was no need to dwell on it any further.However, the thought of possibly never being able to stand again cast a shadow of disappointment in Howser’s eyes. Just then, something seemed to strike Liam. He narrowed his eyes suddenly.“When did you first start losing sensation in your lower body?” Liam asked, looking up at Howser.“It began on the third day after I started practicing the real Little Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist that you taught me,” Howser sighed softly.“No, that’s not right.” Liam shook his head as if he made a decision. “Think back more carefully. Was there anything unusual on the first day you practiced Little Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist?”“I-” Howser was taken aback by Liam’s words. He furrowed his brows, deep in thought. S
"Your most cherished aspiration?" Liam's question caught Howser off guard.Howser could not fathom why Liam suddenly brought this up. Yet, those words stirred countless memories."I didn't expect you to remember a casual remark," Howser said, a complex smile flashing across his face. "When we first met, I mentioned that after decades of martial arts training, my greatest aspiration was to cultivate internal energy and become a master of internal martial arts!"He sighed softly, "But after decades without progress, and now with my legs disabled, it seems even more unattainable."Howser's obsession with martial arts was intense. Even in his eighties, he practiced martial arts daily. Achieving the legendary internal energy was a dream he held close."Grandpa..." Ida's face reflected her bitterness. She knew his thoughts well, as did anyone close to Howser. His passion for martial arts was well-known.Initially, Ida thought Liam could deceive Howser with the promise of teaching marti
Silence! A deathly silence! The moment they saw the scene before them, the entire room plunged into an eerie stillness."This, How's this possible?"Ida's mind was in turmoil! What she witnessed exceeded even the fear of death that the dagger brought her earlier!It was not just Ida. Chester and Qassim were also frozen in place! Their eyes widened, filled with disbelief as they stared at Liam. Howser was utterly stunned! He couldn't fathom how someone could achieve all this. The intense shock left Howser momentarily unable to recall what Liam had just done to him!However, Liam did not care about what Howser and the others thought. Seeing that Ida was out of danger, he gently waved his hand.Then-With a crash, the objects that were suspended in mid-air finally fell to the ground, producing a series of clattering sounds!"Liam, what did you do?"Hearing the noise, Howser snapped out of his daze. He turned to look at Liam, his voice trembling as he asked."Just saving a
Using his powerful inner energy, Liam controlled all the scattered objects in the room!After figuring out everything, Howser’s eyes flashed with shock.Recalling the first time he met Liam when Liam was unwilling to demonstrate his martial arts skills in front of him, Howser thought Liam only knew the moves and might have some hidden reasons preventing him from practicing martial arts.A bitter smile crossed Howser's face."Thank you, Grandmaster Burrey," he said.He bowed respectfully to Liam, now addressing him differently.When Howser first met Liam and was taught the Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist Boxing technique, he thought it was Liam’s good fortune. Being appreciated by him meant a bright future!However, after everything that happened, Howser realized that meeting Liam was his great fortune."Grandmaster Burrey, how did you do it?" Qassim, now fully alert, asked excitedly.Although Qassim did not fully grasp what Howser experienced, he was eager to know how Liam heal
However, at that moment, no one paid attention to Chester's words. Witnessing everything that unfolded before her, Ida's eyes trembled, and her mind went blank. Beyond the intense shock, she now realized just how severely she erred.In the next moment, a trace of bitterness crossed Ida's beautiful face. She took a step forward and approached Liam. Facing him, she bowed deeply."Grandmaster Burrey, I am sorry, it was my mistake!" Ida said, her voice trembling as she kept her head down. "It was my recklessness and presumptuousness that misunderstood you, Grandmaster Burrey. I spoke carelessly, but as long as you can forgive me, I will agree to any condition you set!"Although Ida's spoiled personality made her somewhat unruly, she was quick to admit her mistakes and apologize once she realized them."No problem," Liam replied. He turned his head to glance at her and shook his head lightly. He did not care about Ida's earlier actions. Or rather, he did not give any thought to it from
The next moment, Howser turned abruptly toward Liam as he spoke nervously."Grandmaster Burrey, I don’t know what Ida did at the Lloyd family's home, but all of this is our fault! Tell us how we can make amends. Whatever it is, we'll do it immediately!"Liam glanced at Howser. Recalling the change in the Lloyd family's attitude when Ida arrived and accused him of being a fraud, he let out a sneer as he shook his head."There's nothing for you to do.""But..."Howser opened his mouth as if to say more but hesitated when he saw Liam’s firm attitude. He lowered his head and said no more.Liam examined Howser’s legs again and said, "Alright, since your legs are healed, there's nothing more to address. When you train, be mindful of your waist. There's an old injury."Having said that, Liam turned around to leave. After all, he came here only because of Howser’s sudden health issue. Now that the problem was resolved, he had no reason to stay.Howser’s eyes flashed with urgency. He bl
Hearing Liam's words, a flash of anxiety appeared on Chester's face. He waved his hands frantically and exclaimed, "Grandmaster Burrey, it's not like that! Those titles were forced upon me by others. How could I dare call myself an emperor in front of you?"Liam's words had scared Chester.However, Liam remained calm and continued, "Since that's the case, I actually have two things I need you to do."Chester’s expression became serious as he solemnly replied, "Grandmaster Burrey, your command is my duty!"Liam looked at Chester with a steady gaze. "The first task is to make all gangs involved with loan sharks in South City disappear, just like what the Fowler Society has been doing recently."Chester was stunned. "Was it your orders that Nathaniel carried out?"Liam nodded lightly. "Yes, I instructed Nathaniel to handle that matter.""Well…"Chester's eyes widened in surprise. It was not that Liam’s request was overly difficult. While eliminating all loan shark-related gangs in
