Chapter 585 Feng Wuâs Strike
Su Hui looked at the slightly bent figure of Fang Helun, and whispered in Qin Haodongâs ear, âWhat do you think of Master Fang? Can he beat Li Joongki?â
Qin Haodong said, âAcupuncture is about the combination of body, eyes, mind, and hands. Master Fang has been studying acupuncture for a lifetime and has made great achievements. Unfortunately, his age, body, eyes, and hands canât compare with Li Joongki whoâs in her prime.
âItâs also because of this that Li Mintae didnât do it personally. Itâs not because he disdained it, but because even if he went up, he would not be able to beat Li Joongki.â
Su Hui nodded and said, âWhat do you think Master Fang can do?â
Qin Haodong said, âNone of us has touched this bronze statue. If Master Fang takes it home to practice for one or two months, it shouldnât be a problem for it to enter for three minutes. For now, I guess it canât even enter for eight minutes.â
While the two of them were talking, Fang Helun had already arrived in front of the acupuncture statue. He took out a silver needle and thrust it at the statue after Aliceâs shout to begin.
He was extremely accurate in identifying acupoints. After each needle was inserted, the mercury flowed out immediately.
Unfortunately, as Qin Haodong had said, the speed of his body, his shooting, and his eyes could not be compared with that of Li Joongki due to his age.
It was more likely for him to win in saving people with acupuncture, but he was competing in terms of speed at the moment.
He showed exhaustion after a dozen needles. His moves became slower, and he had problems with the cooperation between his eyes and hands. After a few tinkling sounds, he stabbed the statueâs body time and again.
The old man began to pant after more than 100 needles had been inserted this way. Sweat also appeared on his forehead.
When he finally finished stabbing all the 354 acupoints, Alice stopped the timer in her hand and announced, â485 seconds.â
After hearing this result, Fang Helunâs face was filled with disappointment. Crestfallen, he walked back to his seat and murmured, âIâm old. Iâm old after all.â
Su Hui said in a low voice, âYour moves were really accurate. Itâs only five seconds more. Iâm going to try it. Try to guess, what result can I get?â
Qin Haodong said, âYour physical quality is good enough, and your moves are fast enough. Itâs a pity that you have never come into contact with the acupuncture statue. Youâre less skilled compared with Li Joongki. You should be done in about 300 seconds.â
Su Hui said with some dissatisfaction, âMy physical quality now is much better when compared to ordinary people, thanks to your Physique-Improving Pill. Besides, Iâve practiced the Nine Magical Needles of Plum Blossom. I donât think I will lose.â
Qin Haodong smiled and said, âYouâll know it if you try.â
âIâm doing it now.â
Su Hui clenched her fists. After Fang Helun walked back, she stepped toward the acupuncture statue.
She also chose a four-inch needle. Once the match began, she stabbed at the acupuncture statue with lightning speed.
Just as she had mentioned earlier, the Physique-Improving Pill had considerably improved her physical quality. After practicing the Nine Magical Needles of Plum Blossom, the speed of her technique was fast enough. But it was a pity that she lacked practice.
If she had half a month to practice, she wouldnât have lost to Li Joongki at least. It was a pity she couldnât make it at the moment, for she was still much slower.
The moment she pierced all the 354 acupoints, Alice stopped her timer and announced, â 296 seconds!â
Su Hui shook her head in annoyance and stepped back to Qin Haodongâs side. Then she said dejectedly, âI lost!â
Qin Haodong said, âItâs nothing. Youâve done very well. It wasnât a fair competition to begin with.â
âIâll try it!â
The one who spoke was Feng Wu, who had been silent for a long time. Since the beginning of the exchange meeting, she had been sitting beside them like a female Bodhisattva. She was finally going to take action.
Su Hui said to Qin Haodong, âWhat do you think of Sister Feng Wu? Was her performance better than mine?â
Qin Haodong laughed and said, âNot only is she better than you, she will also surpass Li Joongki.â
âWhat? Sheâs that powerful?â Su Hui said in surprise, âDid she practice on the acupuncture statue before?â
Qin Haodong smiled playfully. âNo, sheâs just a good master.â
In front of him was a master at the eighth level of the supreme power realm. Even if she didnât cultivate the Spirit, or if she hadnât practiced on the acupuncture statue, Feng Wu could make up for all this with her excellent skills, and easily defeat Li Joongki.
When the match began, Su Hui understood the meaning behind Qin Haodongâs words.
Her body movement was very fast just then, but that was only comparing to ordinary people. She couldnât compare to Feng Wu at all.
Feng Wu wore a long white dress today. Her long black hair was like a waterfall. She was like a floating fairy as she moved. Her beautiful hands were like planting flowers as they stretched and retracted.
Fast! She was too fast!
Although she was still unfamiliar with the acupuncture statue, she made up for this weakness with a quick speed. âOne needle is not enough. I can stab you twice. Piercing two needles is still faster than yours.â
Li Joongki had just been complacent, but then was left dumbfounded when he saw Feng Wuâs performance. With this kind of speed, wouldnât she be amazing if she practiced on the acupuncture statue for a few days? Wouldnât he lose more easily?
Even so, Feng Wu still posed a huge threat to him. The further she went, the faster her speed became. The crowd immediately began to clap like thunder.
Fang Helun said to Su Hongbo, âOld Su, it turns out that thereâs such an expert among our students. No wonder you dared to gamble with Li Mintae. You seem to have confidence in her!â
Su Hongbo was also surprised by Feng Wuâs performance. He knew that this girl had a good talent in Chinese medicine arts. Otherwise, she wouldnât have been elected as a member of the delegation. But he never thought that Feng Wu could have such good skills and such a fast speed.
At this moment, Feng Wu had thrust the final needle. The surface where the 354 acupoints of the acupuncture statue where found began to emit a gurgling silver liquid.
â112 seconds!â Alice announced the result. She said excitedly to Feng Wu, âYour performance is so amazing. Did you learn dancing before?â
This kind of question was really impossible for her to answer. Feng Wu just smiled at her and then returned to her seat.
Su Hui said excitedly, âSister Feng Wu, youâre really amazing!â
Feng Wu still wore a faint smile, still silent.
Li Joongkiâs face was no longer full of pride. He originally thought that he could overwhelm all of Huaxia with his skills, but he didnât expect that he would be defeated by a woman in just a few minutes.
Su Hongbo said to Li Mintae, âProfessor Li, what do you think? Do you want to admit defeat?â
Li Mintae was also a little surprised. It should have been known by then that they had cheated in this competition. Li Joongki had practiced acupuncture on the statue every day. Although he was familiar with it and she wasnât familiar with it, he had still been defeated by Feng Wu.
He said, âDonât worry. There are still some people on our side who havenât done anything yet.â
Su Hongbo said, âWhat? Is Professor Li himself going to compete?â
Li Mintae shook his head and turned to Kim Siyuan, who was sitting next to him. âGo ahead!â
âYes, teacher!â
Kim Siyuan agreed and walked toward the acupuncture statue.
Su Hui said, âBrother Haodong, why did they send another woman? Is she more powerful than Li Joongki?â
âWell, this woman is very powerful, much more powerful than Li Joongki. She should be Koryoâs trump card this time.â
Kim Siyuan walked with light steps. She was a warrior, having reached the second level of the Covert Power realm. The combination of her cultivation and medical skills, coupled with her familiarity with the acupuncture statue, her speed had surely reached an astonishing level.
âYou mean that sheâs even more powerful than Sister Feng Wu?â
Feng Wu heard Su Huiâs question, and glanced at them with her big beautiful eyes. It seemed that she also wanted to know Qin Haodongâs answer.
âGenerally speaking, sheâs not as good as Feng Wu. But she is very familiar with the acupuncture statue. This is their biggest advantage.â
Qin Haodongâs words were euphemistic, but he also gave an answer. In the end, he meant that Kim Siyuan was faster than Feng Wu.
Feng Wu said, âWhat if I lose? Can you win against this woman?â
While speaking, she looked at the man in front of her with burning eyes. She could feel the strong self-confidence coming from Qin Haodong. But she couldnât feel any aura of a warrior, which confused her.
Qin Haodong smiled slightly and said, âOf course. I am the Medical Sage of Huaxia. A few doctors in Koryo canât compare with me.â
On the statueâs side, Kim Siyuan had already begun.
In terms of movement, she wasnât as fast as Feng Wu just then, but she was very familiar with the acupuncture statue. There was almost no need to check each needle, or to consider. All she needed to do was to stab the silver needle in her hand as fast as possible.
After looking at her for a few seconds, Feng Wu said softly, âI lost!â
Qin Haodong said, âItâs not your fault. Once you practice with the statue three to five times, you will be faster than any of them.â
âWhat if I compete with you?â
âMe?â Qin Haodong was surprised by Feng Wuâs question. He said, âWeâre teammates. Thereâs no need to compete.â
âSo, youâre saying that Iâm not as fast as you?â
Feng Wuâs expression was very calm, but her question was overbearing.
Qin Haodong said, âThereâs no comparison between us.â
âWhy? Do you look down on women?â
âNo, I donât have the guts,â Qin Haodong laughed and said, âBecause Iâm older than you.â
He was telling the truth. His Spirit, which he had cultivated for 500 years, was naturally not something that Feng Wu could compare with. But no one could understand the implied meaning behind it.
As he spoke, Kim Siyuan was moving faster and faster. She looked cold. The silver needles in her hand flew up and down. Each beat carried a mercury column.
It didnât take long for her to end the competition with the last needle.
Alice pressed the stop button, and then opened her mouth in surprise. âOh my God! This is too fast. 101 seconds.â
âOh my god, how could she be so fast? How did this woman practice?â
âOne second and it would have been 100 seconds. Isnât it too exaggerated?â
âItâs over. Is there any hope for Huaxia?â
âDonât be discouraged. Our Medical Sage has yet to actâŠâ
At this time, the competition had entered a crucial stage. Qin Haodong stood up in the limelight and walked toward the acupuncture statue with a smile on his face.
His footsteps and his expression were very calm. It was as if he wasnât going to compete but to receive an award.
