Coma… it was not the first time Qin Fen was in a coma.
During the recruit tournament, Qin Fen had fallen into a coma when he was attacked by Blood Ranking Ninth. However, Qin Fen had a short-term awareness just before the coma, and his meridians were only damaged and not destroyed.
But this time, Qin Fen was struck by Asundering Void Palm by a divine beast-level expert, White Tiger. He had lost consciousness immediately. His body and his meridians had ruptured completely. The injury to his internal organs was ten times worse than the last time.
Experts from Shengjing were gathered around a huge observation screen inside Tianbei Hospital, discussing in low voices.
All of them were the finest experts in Zhongzhou. At this moment, each and every one of them had their eyebrows knit tightly together. There weren’t any signs of easing up for a long time.
The extent of Qin Fen’s injuries was extremely rare; apart from his bones, almost all of his internal organs had suffered serious injuries. His blood vessels were on the verge of collapsing.
No one would find it strange if Qin Fen had died on the spot after suffering such heavy injuries. However, he was still alive, tenaciously holding onto his life. He was still alive and kicking, and doing much better than other comatose patients.
But this time, everyone was feeling completely powerless after seeing the state of the patient. No one knew how to treat him. It was as if they could only stare at him blankly and pray to gods to appear and treat him.
Even the top-level doctors could only stare at the injuries created by the divine beast’s slap. They had no methods to treat them.
Qin Fen, floating in that strange dreamland space, kept on scratching his head. When others fell in a coma, they would lose all of their consciousness. But he was a lot more fortunate when it came to coma, at least he had a place to accommodate his consciousness.
But… Qin Fen licked the corner of his lips. There was a very big disadvantage of having his consciousness in this dreamland space. He could still feel the serious injuries even in this dreamland space and very clearly at that. He could feel the searing pain from his internal organs and meridians. All in all, his entire body felt as if hot lava had been poured on him.
If it was in real life, Qin Fen believed that even he would have cried out loud in pain even with his level of pain tolerance.
“Kid, you are luckier than the others.”
The bright white figure of elegant Master walked out from the darkness. Upon seeing him, Qin Fen nodded again and again with a grin. This I have to admit as well.
“Ordinary people need to rely on their willpower and tenacity to get past this kind of situation.” Master arrived before Qin Fen. “But you can maintain a sober consciousness, which reduces the risk.”
Qin Fen shrugged his shoulder and nodded. A sober consciousness was equivalent to an extra opportunity. Master would absolutely not come out at this point of the moment just to say this.
Had he not been waiting for Master, Qin Fen would have long thought of some way to adjust his body, find a way of using true energy oscillations to treat his body.
“Of course.” Master heaved a sigh. “Even if you didn’t have this luck, I believe you can wake up on your own because your greatest strength is your will, which is much, much stronger than any ordinary person. This place is just here to help you shorten that time, that’s all.”
Qin Fen slightly smiled and didn’t say anything. Good luck was good luck. Had he not gotten that special metal ball, even if he could awaken, his recovery might have been very slow, even…
With the strength of divine beast-level strength, it was not very difficult for White Tiger to abolish someone’s martial arts with just one palm and cut off the road of his martial arts!
Qin Fen’s face turned green. He might be confident enough to find a method of recovery without the help of Master for sure, but when he thought of the fact that Jarl Lassen was a divine beast martial artist and the huge gap between both sides, a sense of powerlessness gripped his heart.
“Congratulations, boy, you are really unlucky.” Master congratulated with a smile. “Do you remember when you entered the Inborn Realm, your realm fell back because of something special and it took a lot of hard work to return to your meteor-class?”
“Yes.” Qin Fen nodded his agreement. “This indeed happened.”
Master shook his head as a faint wry smile appeared on his handsome and elegant face. “The man who hit you is very strong. Although it seems that he had not used his entire strength, his technique is indeed superior. Not only did his slap abolish your meridians, it also dispersed the blood that you had successfully transfused with difficulty.”
“Ah?”
Surprised, Qin Fen looked at Master. Having his lost consciousness enter here caused the control over his body to grow weaker. Naturally, he was unable to feel that his True Inborn Blood Transfusion was dispersed by someone.
“Yes.” Master nodded in a very serious manner. “You are now a ten-star martial artist and not a True Inborn martial artist.”
Qin Fen’s lips parted, again and again. If he hadn’t known that cursing would simply not hurt Jarl Lassen, he would have long started cursing.
It took a lot of hard work and various chances and coincidences for him to successfully complete True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth. And before the fundamental step was fully consolidated, White Tiger’s one palm had forced him to return to the starting point.
Qin Fen, after ten seconds, stabilized his mood once again. Helplessly, he looked at master and said, “Master, this kind of bad luck is really not worth congratulating. I really don’t know when the next True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth will be…”
“I am afraid you won’t find that opportunity anymore.” Master nodded, mumbling to himself. “True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth is different from entering the meteor-class inborn realm. Once it’s dispersed, the chances of its recovery are infinitely close to zero.”
“Infinitely…?” Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders. “Are they still any chances? Since I turned eighteen, my luck has been really good. Maybe I can still recover. Of course, the only exception is the serious injuries I have suffered this time, it’s really bad luck.”
Luck!? Master rubbed his nose with his index finger a few times before slowly nodding. “Your luck is indeed pretty good. I once studied a unique method, only, I didn’t get the chance to test it out. You are very suitable for it.”
“Test subject.”
“That’s right, test subject, do you want to be the test subject?”
Qin Fen heaved a long sigh. Do I still have a choice? If a grandmaster of martial dao says there was a chance in this situation, he would be a fool to not try it and find it out himself.
Master smiled with joy. He tidied up his collar as if he was a professor was about to give a lesson.
Although Qin Fen was the only student in this pace, Master’s expression and demeanor were still very professional.
“Our today’s topic is the Greater Inborn nirvana of changing the marrow.”
Master raised his hand and crisply snapped his fingers. Immediately, a huge screen appeared behind him, displaying Qin Fen’s body, as well as his bones and bone marrow within them.
Greater Inborn nirvana of changing the marrow? Hearing this, Qin Fen shook his head again and again. What is this?
“Ke ke…” Master pretended to cough twice. “Under ordinary conditions, when martial artists enter the five-star level, their true energy undergoes a qualitative change, entering the so-called Inborn Realm. When they reached the nine-star level and want to enter the ten-star star realm, they generally enter True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth. If a martial artist is about to reach the fifteen-star realm, he faces a similar martial arts barrier.”
The image of Qin Fen’s skeletal in the sky magnified once again, the bone marrow inside it bobbing gently. Next to it was another body diagram but not of Qin Fen, the bone marrow inside it was as thick as mercury.
“In theory, any martial artist, whose strength is less than fourteen-star level, is unable to perceive his bone marrow.” Master nodded in a very earnest manner. “But, according to my research, this is not completely without opportunity. You for example. If there is someone who possesses an extremely terrifying talent in martial arts, then it may be possible to sense the problem of the bone marrow and even grasp it for simulation at the time of Blood Transfusion Rebirth.”
Master’s expression paused for a few seconds before he shook his head and said, “Of course, this kind of martial art freak is not likely to be seen in tens of thousands of years. If he truly appeared, then he would be an extremely glamorous expert of martial arts. He could always break the rules and improve his star-class in a stunning and unbelievable short time.”
Qin Fen knit his furrows as he looked at the bone marrow diagram in the sky. Can bone marrow be connected to meridians? This is obviously impossible, what does Master mean by saying this?
Master did not care about the puzzled expression on Qin Fen’s face. He continued with interest, “Speaking of which, you can not be regarded as an extremely glamorous freak that can only be seen in tens of thousands of years.”
Qin Fen grinned. Why is Master so excited today? Even the way he is attacking others’ mood is much more interesting than before.
“But it doesn’t matter. My research topic isn’t completely for the extremely glamorous freak.” A sense of pride and arrogance appeared in between Master’s eyebrows. “The most interesting thing in this world is the process of turning trash into a genius.”
“Unfortunately…” Master’s expression suddenly dimmed. He looked at Qin Fen and shook his head, again and again. “You are not trash when it comes to practicing martial arts. On the contrary, you are a very insightful young man. At least when it comes to understanding research, you are worthy to be a genius, which makes it a lot less fun for me.”
…
Qin Fen shut his mouth, he didn’t know how to take the words of this excited grandmaster of martial dao.
Fortunately, Master simply had no intention to let Qin Fen talk. He still kept on singing a monologue with interest, “I have researched the problems of Greater Inborn nirvana of changing the marrow a lot. The key point of this research is how to change the marrow under the insufficient condition of nirvana of changing the marrow. As a result, I found a solution…”
Qin Fen opened his arms and finally got the chance to receive Master’s words, “You mean, you need to find an unlucky idiot like me?”
“That’s right.” Master snapped his fingers again. “Your meridians are entirely broken now, so your control over true energy is at its weakest. At the same time, your blood transfusion has returned to its point of origin and your influence over your blood is also at its lowest. Only in this way, these have become your advantages. At the same time, the things that can interfere with you have become non-existent. As such, your chances of sensing the bone marrow had naturally grown bigger.”
