Chapter 1027 - 1027 1027 Look at with New Eyes

Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: Look at with New Eyes Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: Look at with New Eyes Luo Ziling finished the competition at least ten minutes earlier than He Yan.

After finishing, he removed the blindfold from his eyes, smiling as he watched He Yan perform the acupuncture.

It was unclear whether it was the nervousness from the crowd watching or his unprofessional True Taiyi Divine Needle skill, but during the last needle, He Yan actually missed the acupoint. The subject winced in pain and cried out, and He Yan realized something was wrong, immediately withdrawing the needle and accurately re-inserting it into the correct acupoint.

However, by the time he had accurately inserted the needle, he was already drenched in sweat, and his hands were slightly trembling after he finished inserting the needles.

After finishing the acupuncture, He Yan pulled down his mask and sighed deeply.

He soon saw Luo Ziling standing in front of him, smiling at him, which made his heart shudder.

Looking at the expressions of the others, He Yan had an even worse feeling.

It seemed that Luo Ziling’s performance was superior to his own, otherwise he wouldn’t be so smug, and the others wouldn’t look at him with such expressions.

“Mr. He, this young man’s acupuncture skill is truly extraordinary,” Dong Qichang said with a grim face to He Yan, “Whether it’s the accuracy of point identification, the proficiency of needle manipulation, or the ability to control the ‘qi,’ he is much stronger than you. I believe he is a successor of the Taiyi Divine Needle. I give up the competition and am willing to admit defeat.”

Upon hearing this from Dong Qichang, who had a significant reputation in the industry, He Yan’s expression changed again.

“In terms of acupuncture skill, Mr. Luo Ziling is indeed superior,” said Guo Chuncheng, who had an excellent reputation in the field of traditional medicine, somewhat regretfully, “The gap between the two of you in acupuncture skill is quite significant.”

The other judges selected also expressed the same opinion.

Hearing everyone say this, He Yan’s face turned ashen. However, he did not immediately admit defeat but said to Luo Ziling, “I hope to observe your acupuncture skill during your competition with others.”

“That’s fine,” Luo Ziling generously nodded his head, “If you admit defeat again later, I will also consider you honorable.”

Luo Ziling’s seemingly sincere words nearly made He Yan choke with rage, nearly causing him to burst out on the spot.

“I want to compete with you,” Wang Xuyun, the successor of the Thirteen Needles of Guimen, stepped up to Luo Ziling and said seriously, “Having just seen your acupuncture skill, I learned a lot. I want everyone to evaluate whether your Taiyi Divine Needle technique or our Thirteen Needles of Guimen is more formidable.”

Hearing Wang Xuyun say this, Luo Ziling couldn’t help feeling a bit odd, but he didn’t think much about it and agreed readily.

The two did not use blindfolded techniques this time but faced each other directly, eyes open, for the competition.

The two attendees who had been diagnosed by Luo Ziling earlier, and whom they themselves could not help, volunteered to be “models”. Initially, they were skeptical of Luo Ziling’s medical skills and acupuncture techniques, but having seen Luo Ziling’s acupuncture skills, they were greatly amazed.

If Luo Ziling and Wang Xuyun could solve their physical issues during the competition, then attending this conference would yield unexpected benefits for them.

Before the competition began, many were displeased with Luo Ziling’s arrogance, hence many publicly voiced their significant disapproval of him.

However, after Luo Ziling’s competition with He Yan in acupuncture skill, their voices quickly diminished. Moreover, after several authoritative experts made their evaluations, they realized that Luo Ziling indeed possessed genuine knowledge and skills.

As the saying goes, a true hero is young. Luo Ziling’s arrogance was backed by substantial capability. Being a successor of the Taiyi Divine Needle was not an empty boast.

The Thirteen Needles of Guimen, in fact, could roughly be inferred from its name regarding the characteristics of its acupuncture technique.

The Thirteen Needles is a well-known fast acupuncture technique among insiders.

The speed of inserting and removing the needles is so rapid that it’s a skill ordinary people fail to master, making it a unique art.

Wang Xuyun had just been spectating, and although Luo Ziling’s speed wasn’t the fastest, it still greatly amazed him. It’s important to realize that Luo Ziling achieved this speed while performing blind acupuncture, a feat unattainable even for those watching directly.

Many famous practitioners of acupuncture, even when able to see, cannot match Luo Ziling’s speed.

Therefore, he voluntarily proposed a challenge against Luo Ziling with visible needles in a face-to-face contest.

Luo Ziling naturally would not refuse and readily accepted, not even mentioning that he had just expended considerable energy and that his needle speed might decline.

However, someone soon spoke up for him. Wu Sanming, a renowned expert in integrating Eastern and Western medicine, stepped forward and said, “Mr. Luo Ziling just expended a lot of energy in his match with Mr. He Yan. Continuing to compete now might put him at a disadvantage.”

“It’s okay,” Luo Ziling gratefully glanced at Wu Sanming, “I didn’t use much energy, and it barely affects my needlework.”

“Okay, then I won’t say more,” Wu Sanming smiled at Luo Ziling, his smile filled with admiration.

Soon, the two began their acupuncture contest.

In Wang Xuyun’s view, what he wanted to compete against Luo Ziling in was the speed of needle insertion and the accuracy of acupoint identification under rapid conditions.

Thus, as soon as the host announced the start, he rapidly inserted needles as if his fingers were flying.

Many people knew Wang Xuyun’s signature move was to insert thirteen needles in an extremely short period, which is also a trademark of the Thirteen Needles of Guimen.

However, to their surprise, Luo Ziling’s needlework was significantly faster than Wang Xuyun’s. By the time Wang Xuyun had inserted his thirteenth needle, Luo Ziling had already placed fifteen needles in the patient’s acupoints without any misplacement and the patient felt no pain.

After inserting the needles into the patient’s acupoints, Luo Ziling began to manipulate them sequentially.

“Wow, it feels so cool,” exclaimed the patient as Luo Ziling manipulated the needles.

This patient was the one who Luo Ziling had abruptly diagnosed earlier, saying that if treated with the “Piercing Sky Cooling” technique, the symptoms could be alleviated. Luo Ziling’s treatment approach involved using Piercing Sky Cooling to suppress the internal heat in the patient’s body, confident that these numerous needles could completely alleviate the condition.

Normally, he wouldn’t need to insert fifteen needles, but he did so to demonstrate that his acupuncture skill surpassed the Thirteen Needles of Guimen. However, he didn’t spend as much time or energy on each acupoint as he did when treating Li Haiyang.

While Wang Xuyun manipulated his needles with speedy and dazzling hands, Luo Ziling’s technique was even more efficient. Coupled with his slender fingers, it provided a visually pleasing experience, akin to watching a performance.

Even Ouyang Feifei, standing by and watching, couldn’t help but be astonished. She took out her phone to record Luo Ziling’s needlework.

While Luo Ziling was doing the blind acupuncture earlier, she had only taken a few photos and regretted not recording a video.

The superiority of their acupuncture techniques was evident at the moment they started, but no one interrupted them before they finished treating the patient. Watching skilled movements is also a kind of enjoyment for the audience.

Many knowledgeable spectators were already enraptured by their acupuncture techniques.

Having the chance to watch such a contest of acupuncture skills was already worth the trip.
