"Do you have a death wish? How dare you call Uncle Tori by name!""Apologize to him immediately, if not I'll break your legs!"Instantly, the atmosphere was tense. A few of the young ones of the Hart family were about to beat Chad up.Tori suddenly turned back to look at them and barked, "Behave yourselves! Since Dr. Jennings has asked me to try, I'll do it!"The others could not believe their eyes! Their uncle was called by his full name, yet he did not get angry at all!fWas he the same Tori Hart that they knew? The powerful provincial governor of Rivervale?Terrence was the most shocked one. He never thought that Chad could be so arrogant to even disrespect his brother!What made everyone even more surprised was that after Tori followed Chad's instructions, he smiled."There's a pulse! My father's pulse is really on the back of his hand!"Chad was unfazed by it. He added lazily, "Feel the pulse. Is Mr. Hart's pulse three strong ones followed by a weak one?"Tori obeyed and
Benjamin huffed indignantly without looking back. He placed the needle.Chad continued, "Insert the needle three millimeters, spin it left three times, and pull it out one millimeter!"Chad's words were in sync with Benjamin's actions.Benjamin said condescendingly, "Don't think that just because you could describe what I'm doing, that proves you're better than me. If it were you applying the needles, I could also describe it exactly!"The Hart family all had strange expressions when they heard what Benjamin said. They were quite stunned because Chad was smoking by the windows in the corridor. From where he was, he could not possibly have seen what was going on."The second needle, the Sky Pillar. Two millimeters in, one millimeter out. Flick the end of the needle!"Just when Chad was describing the steps to the second needle, Benjamin completed it almost at the same time.Benjamin flicked the protruding needle gently with his finger, letting the needle vibrate. It was exactly a
Benjamin refused to believe Chad.He sneered and said, "Hmph! Don't think that just because you coincidentally managed to recite the first twelve steps you are better than me. You know nothing!"Chad got more and more furious. He stepped into the ward and came before Benjamin.Slap!Chad slapped Benjamin without any warning!"There's a right method and there is a wrong one. A man's life is at stake yet you're still trying to deny your mistakes! You are no doctor!"Benjamin clutched his face and fell to the floor. One side of his face was covered in a handprint."You conman! How dare you slap me? My father is Dr. Healy the Great—"Slap! Before Benjamin could finish his sentence, Chad slapped him again. "I'm slapping you! Even if your father's here, I'll still slap you!"The Hart family was baffled at this scene. Tori secretly grimaced. Hitting Benjamin equaled offending Sheldon. It looked like he had to personally apologize to Sheldon once Rustin got better.However, at that
"It's not enough that you had caused enough trouble in Kennington, now you're causing trouble even in Rivervale? Are you trying to piss me off!"Sheldon regretted teaching his son medicine. Benjamin was not cut out to be a doctor. He wanted to strangle his son to death right away, but since Benjamin was his only son, he said, "Turn on your camera. I'll instruct you on how to save him!"Benjamin was already at his wits' end. He obediently followed his father's instructions. Once he turned on the camera, he aimed the camera at Chad, who was resuscitating Rustin, and said, "Dad, he was the one who kept distracting me during the process. He caused me to slip up!"Tori heard what Benjamin said. He was infuriated. It was Benjamin himself who was not up to the task, yet he dared to blame Dr. Jennings.Thus, Tori said furiously, "Sheldon Healy. I'm going to say this once. If my father dies, I'll make sure to send Benjamin along to accompany him!"He was truly furious. If Rustin were to
Sheldon's eyes widened in fear. He could barely hold his phone straight. He said with a trembling voice, "H-How'd this happen!"Although Chad moved aside a little, he was still working on Rustin. He said sternly, "It was supposed to be a Soul Restoration Method, yet it had turned into an Aging Method! Yet you still have the guts to ask!"Chad started to pull out the needles one by one.Rustin was barely breathing anymore. He was drenched in blood from head to toe. No one said a word. It was eerily silent. Sheldon completely panicked.After a long moment, Sheldon suddenly said, "This isn't my son's doing! It's your treatment that killed Mr. Hart!"Chad was not at all surprised to hear that. He sneered but did not say a word. Tori was mad with fury. "Sheldon, I saw your son treating—""Tori, calm down. Mr. Hart might not be saved, but there's still hope for the Hart family. If you say yes, my son can marry into the Hart family. That way, the Healys and the Harts are a family. T
Thump!After a thud, Rustin suddenly opened his mouth and took a deep breath. Then, his chest started moving normally."Dad—" Tori was so excited he was trembling! At that moment, Chad was like an angel who brought his father back from the brink of death. Chad stumbled and almost fell. Luckily, Tori acted quickly and held onto him.Chad smiled bitterly and muttered, "These three years have almost made me useless!"If it was Chad three years ago, even if he had to treat ten patients like Rustin, he would not have ended up in such a wreck. It was mainly because after getting married for three years, Chad gave up too much. He gradually became like a normal person."Dr. Jennings, you are an angel from heaven. How could you be useless!" Tori said while helping Chad to a chair.Chad shook his head and said, "It's a pity. Mr. Hart's treatment will have to wait until tomorrow.""No problem! Just stay over at my place today. I'll arrange for everything," Tori said while looking at his
Joshua, who was rather influential among the younger ones in the Hart family, yelled, "Uncle Tori, you've been duped! Benjamin told us everything! He was the one who killed Grandpa!"Slap!His question only brought him a slap from Tori.Joshua was stunned, but he glared at Tori with reddened eyes. "Uncle Tori, you're deluded!" He said through gritted teeth.Slap!Tori was furious. He slapped Joshua another time. At the same time, he secretly cursed Benjamin for being a fool for telling everyone nonsense.Did he not understand the impact Rustin's death would bring?However, Tori could not hit Benjamin. If Rustin were to not last until the following day, Benjamin would become his son-in-law!As a wily politician, he had to be prepared on both sides just in case. That was why Tori could only take out his anger on Joshua!"Who said your grandfather has passed away? Dr. Jennings has resuscitated him!" Tori enunciated, suppressing the rage bubbling in him.The others finally quiete
Everyone turned to look at Terrence with curiosity.Terrence sneered and said, "Matilda Sachs, the president of the Bellenuite Group has arrived. She just got a divorce with that conman this morning!"Benjamin's eyes sparkled when he heard Matilda's name. He was extremely excited."Amazing! With Matilda Sachs there, let's see how Chad can still put on an act!"Joshua chuckled and said, "Everyone, shall we go and witness the beauty of Matilda Sachs? What do you all say?"Everyone happily agreed and left the hospital together. Benjamin was the first to leave the group. He wanted to be the first to see Matilda.…In the living area of Hart Manor, Matilda looked around and exclaimed, "The house of the provincial governor sure is impressive! Once the Bellenuite Group develops better, we're going to have a living area just like this!"Jojo was dazzled. The living area was so huge it was almost as huge as a basketball court. The living area was decorated with carved columns and painti
As Chad sat in meditation on Decaying Peaks, a faint, glowing white immortal crown slowly appeared behind his head. When that immortal crown manifested, a quake occurred everywhere outside Mount Causabour. The frequency of those tremors was extremely high, and everyone could clearly feel them. The vast area they covered included the entire Hacniane. It was as if some ancient seal in the vast sky had been triggered.Chad opened his eyes in shock amid his breakthrough, realizing that the impending heavenly punishment seemed to be directed at him and the millions of mystical beings beneath Mount Causabour.Suddenly, a thunderous voice erupted in the sky, as loud as a bolt of lightning:"Cut off the road to the heavens, seal the underworld; a red banner halts a million immortals, and a red star exterminates ghosts and demons!"Sever Yggdrasil, raise the grand array; a handful of Evergrow blocks the celestial river, and the vast multiverse bows to humanity!"By decree, this is a real
Sir Holt anxiously looked up at the sky as the tribulation clouds suddenly began to churn violently.Crack! Crack! Crack!At that moment, the first bolt of heavenly punishment finally struck.However, that bolt of divine lightning fell upon the mirage of the Mystic Archive, where it disappeared without a trace. The entire Mount Causabour shook a few times, and everyone could feel a soothing sensation within the mountain.Anyone who felt this would experience a surge of confidence deep within, and any discomfort they felt in their bodies seemed to improve significantly.On Decaying Peaks, that sensation was even more pronounced, and more and more people began to manifest the immortal crown behind their heads. In just a few minutes, nearly everyone on Decaying Peaks, hundreds of people in total, had an immortal crown appear behind them.That included Flynn and Harvey, who were sitting on the outskirts of Decaying Peaks. They, too, had immortal crowns appear behind their heads.How
Sir Holt and Zayan looked up at the sky with expressionless faces, though their hearts were in turmoil. Within the rolling clouds, faint traces of multicolored light shimmered.As time passed, the colorful lights appeared more frequently, as if gradually consuming the clouds."Such intense ascension light—there must be tens of thousands ascending!""There are probably more. The latest statistics show that 264,777 people have entered Mount Causabour!""Over 260,000? How did so many people get here?"Zayan looked at Sir Holt in shock, and Sir Holt turned his gaze toward the winding mountain road leading into the area."There are still many more people outside trying to get in, but the place is already so crowded that they can't fit."Zayan looked with concern toward the entrance to the mountain. "Won't those stuck on the road cause a disturbance?""They won't!" Sir Holt said with certainty. "Unless they're fools, they've probably already started meditating where they are. Even if
Among the 250,000 people, quite a few were not actually autistic patients. After sleeping for two full days, Chad woke up and realized that possibility. He carefully considered the potential issues that might arise during the process and decided to issue an announcement."The treatment will begin shortly. Non-autistic patients are advised to leave the Mount Causabour area to avoid unnecessary complications."That announcement was broadcast three times through loudspeakers positioned throughout Mount Causabour. Finally, the loudspeaker voice declared, "The treatment will officially begin in one hour!"At the same time, Chad made his way to the Decaying Peaks, the summit of Mount Causabour, where an over-century-old pavilion stood.Entering the pavilion, Chad sat down in a meditative position. Soon, he noticed a dense crowd gathering around the pavilion, all sitting in meditation poses around him.As Chad glanced over those people, he recognized several familiar faces. The people ar
Mount Causabour Medical Center, built halfway up Mount Causabour, was a sizable palace-style complex with three courtyards. The center was constructed along the mountain's slope, extending all the way to the base of the Decaying Peaks. Flynn and Harvey were placed in the innermost courtyard, suggesting that their grandfather, Fenton Cooper, likely knew some inside information but had not shared it with his grandsons.On that day, the Hacniane Cabinet issued several announcements. First, they created separate legislation for ability users and cultivators to regulate their powers. Second, they planned to designate special zones in each city for ability users and Mystics, separating them from ordinary people. Lastly, they urgently introduced the Sixteen Temporary Rules for Ability Users and Mystic Practitioners to regulate their behavior.Those announcements seemed like they were aimed at restricting ability users, but in reality, they were meant to reassure ordinary people, ensurin
A massive leap in the realm could bring unimaginable fortune to the dragon vein, potentially altering Hacniane's fate.That was also Chad's grand gift to the two elders, using the sudden surge in the dragon vein's power to help Hacniane avoid the impending catastrophe triggered by the nuclear explosion of the firmament.Earlier that day, through Chad's Clairvoyant Eye, he saw Kennington shrouded in a faint gray-black mist. Chad did not know what it was but felt it resembled Evergrow, yet not quite the same.However, Chad was certain that accidents would surely happen if ordinary people were exposed to it in large quantities. As a Mystic, he could already feel its effects on his body.At that moment, Sir Holt got into the car, looking at Chad with a solemn expression. "Kid, give me the bottom line!"After careful consideration, Chad laid out his thoughts. Upon hearing them, Sir Holt began to tremble. According to Chad, he would need to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to ensure the
Having a Mystic Archive and unlocking a Mystic Archive were two different matters. Only a handful of people were recorded to have a Mystic Archive throughout history. There were only two earliest verifiable individuals with documented works still in existence.The first was Hugo Gerant, a renowned physician from an ancient empire, a practitioner of Mystic Therapeutics, and an alchemist. His surviving medical works include The Hundred Letters, Gerant's Emergency Treatments, and the famous Embracing Simplicity.After his death, several notable physicians throughout history have inadvertently inherited his Mystic Archive, but none have fully inherited it. It was said that Mystics knew the method to obtain Gerant's Mystic Archive a thousand years ago, but that knowledge had since been lost.The second individual is Damian Lotin, a figure from another ancient dynasty. He left behind many works, including one titled The Whisper of the Blue Plant.Aside from them, other people who possess
Chad gave them a cold smile. "Extract the immortal bone to cure the illness.""No! Absolutely not! I won't allow it!""Me neither. There's no way we can let that happen!"The entire room erupted into panic. Some even tried to attack Chad, but they were quickly subdued.Chad looked at them and said, "Then tell me the truth.""I'll speak! I failed my tribulation and fell from the celestial realm. I used to have nine crowns, but now I'm down to five...""And me! I also fell from the celestial realm after failing my tribulation. Now I only have three crowns...""I disguised myself as one of the wounded soldiers and was brought here. After losing all my cultivation, I've since regained two crowns!""I was brought back from the firmament by my husband. After we arrived here, I lost all my cultivation and never practiced again. We had a child later, and he was perfectly normal, but I never expected my grandson to..."As those people spoke, Zayan and Sir Holt were stunned! Those peopl
"You know the cause of the illness?"Zayan was shocked, almost in disbelief."Do you realize this child is the same age as you? Even your master examined him but couldn't find the cause!"Chad nodded and said, "But I do know, and I have a bold theory—that the cause of autism in all these children might be the same..."As he spoke, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Chad's mind, shocking even him, leading him to say, "And I suspect this might be related to the increasing number of ability users and cultivators over the past century!""Really?!"Zayan grabbed Chad's arm, hardly believing what he was hearing.However, Chad spoke with firm conviction, "It's very likely true, but I need to see more children with autism.""Wait here; I'll make arrangements right away!"Soon, Chad and his group arrived at the largest hospital in Kennington, the Ninth Military District Hospital, and Xyder was also brought along. Chad saw hundreds of children with autism there!Before entering the
