Chapter 4 Curing the Campus Belle!

"Words?"

"This blank page has words in the middle?!"

You see, Fang Qiu has always had a secret. A secret that no body, including the old master, knew anything about!

He possessed the power of Absolute Touch!

Anything touched by his hands would form a clear image in his mind and be immediately remembered.

He discovered this ability in the third grade during primary school.

Back then, he and his friends were playing with glass balls, and one of his beautiful glass balls was gone. It happened that one of his classmates then took out one exactly like the one he had lost.

Naturally, everyone, including him, suspected that this classmate had stolen the glass ball from him.

But when his fingers touched the glass ball, he was surprised to find that he could clearly feel its scratches that were invisible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the scratches on his missing glass ball clearly arose in his mind!

By comparing the two, he was certain that the one in his hand was not his.

From then on he knew he had this power.

The pity was that it was an ability of no practical value. It could probably be used to show off in the variety show Super Brain, but it was almost useless in his daily life. He had not practiced it for so many years that he had nearly forgotten that he still possessed it.

But he had just felt the words with his Absolute Touch.

"Is that why the middle-aged man at the gate recommended this book to me?"

Fang Qiu wondered.

"Is there a secret hidden in this book?"

He examined the page carefully, but there was not a trace of any writing on it.

Yet he knew he had felt those words.

This aroused his curiosity.

He took the ancient book and the page to the lounge.

As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to get out a pen, a notebook and the page. He then placed the middle finger of his left hand directly on the page and held the pen in his right hand, ready to write down whatever he felt on the notebook.

With everything ready, he closed his eyes.

His middle finger slowly moved over the paper, searching.

Words came into his mind one by one.

"The most important thing in the art of bonesetting is to touch the bone!"

"In fact, the method of bone touching all depends on talent, and bonesetting itself is only requires a small amount of study; Talent cannot be taught, but a small amount of knowledge can be learned and goes a long way... "

The first two sentences gave Fang Qiu a big shock.

Almost all ancient books praised the art of bonesetting and tried to explain it in as detailed a manner as possible.

However, this page said that bonesetting required a small amount of knowledge!

"Isn't this going a little too far?" thought Fang Qiu suspiciously.

He decided to ignore it for the moment and continue to explore the other words with his eyes closed.

His brow furrowed deeper and deeper as more and more words floated into his mind from his finger.

And his shock grew.

This was an article entitled “The Theory of Bonesetting”.

It divided bonesetting skill into three realms: Controlling Realm, Friendly Realm and Conscious Realm!

The differences between these three realms was very eye-opening.

Simply put, the Controlling Realm meant that one needed to perfectly know the characteristics of human bones so as to be able to tell the problems of the bones from the body shape. Only then can one precisely reset the bones.

The Friendly Realm meant that one needed to become the friend of the bones and united with them, thus one will be able to boneset at will.

According to this theory, Fang Qiu, who already knew something about healing injuries, was far from knowing or achieving the Controlling Realm, let alone the Friendly Realm.

The article said that the highest level of bonesetting was the Conscious Realm.

If the meaning of the Controlling Realm and the Friendly Realm were still within Fang Qiu's ability to at least understand, the Conscious Realm was far beyond his comprehension.

The theory said that someone could break a bone in an instant with consciousness, and could also heal the bone like it was new!

This was a description of the Conscious Realm.

This was appalling!

What was even more astonishing was that it actually showed how to train to achieve the Conscious Realm!

Yet the way to train the Controlling Realm and the Friendly Realm were not described at all. It was as if the other two realms were barely worth the author’s time.

He had no idea whether the author of this article was a madman or an unsurpassed master.

According to what had been written on the page, one who achieved the Conscious Realm, was as incredible as a God.

Even he, who bore exceptional powers, was frightened by the contents of the paper.

Having finished one side, he turned the page to the other side and pressed the middle finger of his left hand to the paper.

Many pictures of the human skeleton began to emerge in his mind. They were more detailed than the anatomical drawings available today.

The pictures of human bones, ligaments, muscles and the like were followed by pictures of bone injury treatment. Feeling these, Fang Qiu felt as if he was seeing a figure changing rapidly with the pictures.

In fact, it was as if a person were teaching him right there!

Ten minutes later, a final image emerged.

Fang Qiu slowly opened his eyes, still in shock.

It was not until three minutes later that he came to himself.

"Amazing!"

He didn't know who could leave so much information on a single page. It had helped his bonesetting skills improve to the first stage: the Controlling Realm.

No wonder the author was so scornful of the first two realms. If Fang Qiu had the ability to elevate someone who knew a little bonesetting to the Controlling Realm without much skill, he too would be dismissive of them.

"The world is more mysterious than I knew!"

"Such as this author. I've never heard of such a person."

Fang Qiu sighed secretly.

With a shake of his head, he prepared to touch the page again and go over the rest of the contents.

Just then he sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the library.

He didn't look, but he noticed that the library lounge was full. He had been so absorbed in the contents of the paper that he hadn’t realized that so many people had come.

"But why did so many people suddenly come to the library, and why are all their eyes on me?"

"And why do their eyes exude such hostility?"

"What the hell is going on here?" he wondered.

Fang Qiu looked up to see a pair of big beautiful eyes across the table staring back at him. He was taken aback.

The person sitting across from him was the new campus belle Jiang Miaoyu, a freshman of the department of acupuncture and massage in the Jiangjing University of Chinese Medicine.

She was considered a perfect goddess by all the boys at the Jiangjing University of Chinese Medicine.

Fang Qiu had only seen her once before, far away during military training.

He now knew what had happened.

No wonder so many people came to the library. They were all there to see the campus belle.

And no wonder those people looked at him with hostility in their eyes. They were probably jealous that he was sitting with the prettiest schoolgirl.

Fang Qiu gave a bitter smile.

He could not believe his luck.

He looked at Jiang Miaoyu and she simply cast a glance at him before she raised her right hand, holding a needle to prick an acupuncture point in her left arm.

It was one of the few acupoints that Fang Qiu knew about.

The Quchi point.

According to some ancient books, this acupoint could be used to treat arm paralysis and pain as well as upper limb paralysis.

It seemed that the girl was going to try the needle on herself.

The needle fell quickly and penetrated her skin.

It was very precise.

Then she twisted the needle.

Fang Qiu suddenly remembered the rumor on campus that Jiang Miaoyu was from an acupuncture family.

Now it seemed that this was true. Because a freshman, who had only experienced military training without taking any classes, would not have been so skilled in acupuncture treatment.

Soon, the first twist ended, but Jiang Miaoyu slightly frowned.

Fang Qiu realized that what she was doing didn't seem to work out for her.

When he turned his eyes to her white and tender left arm, he was stunned.

As a bonesetter in the Controlling Realm, he could see the minor problems at a glance.

Now he knew that Jiang Miaoyu, who had inserted the needle into her arm, was not trying the needle at all.

She was treating herself.

If the symptom was arm discomfort caused by a simple obstruction of vital energy and blood, to acupuncture the Quchi point would have been very effective. But for her arm this was not the case.

After a little hesitation, Fang Qiu told her, "You're not treating it right."

Jiang Miaoyu's hand that was about to twist the needle again paused. She looked up at Fang Qiu, startled and puzzled.

"Your arm must have been damaged recently. There is a minor dislocation of the wrist joint and a slight ligament strain. To acupuncture Quchi point is useless for this kind of bone injury. What you need is bonesetting."

Fang Qiu explained.

At his words, there was a flash of surprise in Jiang Miaoyu's bright eyes.

Her arm was indeed uncomfortable, which was caused by the heavy load she carried when she tidied up her dormitory this morning. She was surprised to know that the boy opposite her, who also wore the military training uniform, could tell her symptoms at a glance.

"Looks like there are many undiscovered talents in this university!" she thought.

At that moment, another pain came from her left arm, which made her frown slightly.

Not wanting to see others suffer, Fang Qiu immediately suggested, "If you need, I can help you."

His tone was full of confidence.

Jiang Miaoyu looked Fang Qiu up and down carefully.

In front of her, some boys blushed and could not speak, and others tried hard to show off. It was the first time that she had met a boy who knew her problem at first glance and offered to heal it.

"Is this a new flirting trick?" she wondered.

But when she saw Fang Qiu's sincere expression, Jiang Miaoyu knew that he really wanted to help her.

"Please," she said and gave him a little smile.

Jiang Miaoyu stretched out her left arm, with a look of anticipation in her eyes.

Her charming smile made Fang Qiu’s heart flutter.

But the next moment he turned into a doctor, with a solemn look and calm eyes.

Fang Qiu grasped Jiang Miaoyu's left upper arm with his left hand, gently held her left hand with his right hand, and then shook it slightly. Suddenly, he looked up at her and gave her a big smile. "You're pretty," he said.

Jiang Miaoyu froze at what Fang Qiu said. She was waiting for him to set her bone right and never expected this.

"Thanks?..."

Fang Qiu had a sudden flash of light in his eyes. His hands simultaneously gave her left hand and arm a sudden and hard twist, one clockwise and the other counterclockwise. Before Jiang Miaoyu could react, his hands were back in position!

Fang Qiu then loosened her arm and said happily, "It's okay now."
