"You.. Your injuries are too terrible and severe.. a lot of your meridian pathways has already begun to show signs of stagnation. I'm afraid that I could only heal about half of them." said the chief doctor as he shook his head helplessly.

Half of them?

"That.. its.. not possible for chief doctor to heal.. all of them?" asked Duan Li in disbelief with a doubting tone as he creased his brows together.

In his opinion, as someone of the chief doctor's elite status or title, it cannot be that the knowledge of the other party was beneath him in terms of the medicinal arts right?

Granted, that he had quite the cheating ability due to the mysterious pearl and learnt quite a lot about the arts of medicine in just a mere single day, but the chief doctor was someone from the royal palace that looked well over 60 years old!

Surely, the other party's experience and knowledge would be even deeper than his?

"Humph! With such an internal injury, you should be glad that I could resolve about half of them! Don't be so ingrateful, the arts of medicine isn't such a simple field for someone like you to know its complexity!" the chief doctor frowned as he said this.

He was a chief doctor from the royal palace! Instead of being showered with praise and gratitude by the other party, he was being doubted instead!

During his 2 hours travel from the royal palace, he was quite delighted with this job as it seems to be of the high priority. However, when he arrived at the academy, he was informed that he has to heal a young man with a seemingly no background at all!

The academy was really being too pamperous with its students! To think that a mere nobody would receive such a treatment from someone of his high status, he wondered just what was going on inside that head of the principal whom had made such a request to him personally.

I am the chief doctor of the royal palace and was always busy concocting numerous pills and elixirs for the royal family on a tight schedule!

To think that I had decided to use my free time to heal a simple brat, and an ungrateful one at that, it seems that I have really made quite the poor choice this time!

Hais!

Whatever! The milk has already been spilt into the glass, I should just drink it and go back home straightly later.

The chief doctor then moved the both of his hand atop of Duan Li's body before the latter spoke out once more.

"I... I am actually quite versed in the arts of medicine a little bit... and I had diagnosed myself for the past two days repeatedly... all my internal injuries could be healed using my method... its just that my spiritual Qi is way too low because of my realm" said Duan Li slowly.

Hearing this, the face of the chief doctor darkened. "You claimed to know how to resolve all your internal injuries?"

He already had said that he could only resolve half of them, and he was the chief doctor of the royal palace. A mere nobody, still a student at that, claimed to be able to do better than him?

Wasn't that an indirect way of saying that he was incompetent doctor?

Knowing what the chief doctor was thinking from the latter's expression, before things got out of hand, Duan Li decided to explain things out.

"I meant no disrespect chief doctor, its just that with the state of my internal injuries were right now, if I could not resolve all of them, I would be just as good as a cripple, no better than if I was treated or not!" said Duan Li with a firm voice.

Calming himself down, the chief doctor nodded after a while as he also agreed on this point.

What the patient had just said was indeed correct. Even if he could resolve half of them, the contaminated pathways would not be able to be used anymore.

To put it into an analogy, imagine a long road that was heavily damaged after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake. Even if both ends of this road were being repaired and reworked on, as the middle section was still damaged, no cars would be able to use that road!

If spiritual Qi was the funds to repair that road, then Duan Li right now was severely lacking in that. Compared with the chief doctor, someone whom was at the nascent soul realm, was like a tycoon with spare funds to build another 10 new roads!

Thus, suppressing his pride, the chief doctor spoke out, "Then, what do you propose I should do? Not heal you? That would definitely not happen! As a chief doctor of the royal palace, once I have decided to nurse a patient, I will never go back on my words! Humph!"

Hearing what the doctor just said, Duan Li smiled warmly.

It seems that this chief doctor knows when to put down his pride, even though the latter had such a high status in the royal palace. Duan Li now had a better impression towards the chief doctor.

"Of course I wanted to be healed! Its just that, I only needed chief doctor to follow my instruction... please ascede to my request chief doctor, I am willing to bet my future in this decision!" Duan Li highlighted that final sentence of his as he looked straight into the eyes of the other party with determination.

Seeing that look on Duan Li, the chief doctor could not help but to be surprised for a little bit.

"Such a determination... Does he really have the way to resolve all of his internal injuries when I couldn't see the way?" he thought.

After thinking for a while, the chief doctor sighed as he nodded.

"Fine! But whatever that goes wrong in this treatment according to your method, I will not be held responsible for it, do you understand?" the chief doctor said with a serious expression.

It was already a breach at his code of conduct as a doctor asceding to such a preposterous request. Normally, he wouldn't even entertain it, but somehow, the words that Duan Li had just spoken had a compelling force behind it.

If the treatment were to go wrong, not only that it would not heal the other party, it could also escalate the injuries even further, and at worse, death was also possible!

As the chief doctor from the royal palace, if such a thing were to happen, then his reputation would also fall down the drain. Thus, it could be said that he was also betting with an extremely high risk bet right now!

The principal, Wang Guozhi and Ling Yu was also inside the room right now as they entered along with the chief doctor before. They had only been listening to their conversation passively without intervening, and when they heard Duan Li's request, they could also not help but to turn apprehensive too.

However, knowing the identity of who Duan Li was, their worries only lasted for a few breaths before they trusted in the latter's words.

"I, Bian Tianyu, Principal of the Jixue Knights Academy, bears witness to this treatment!"

"I, Wang Guozhi, Senior Teacher of the Jixue Knights Academy, bears witness to this treatment too!"

"I, Ling Yu, Senior Teacher of the Jixue Knights Academy, also bears witness to this treatment!"

When the three of them gave their statements, the chief doctor could not help but to be astonished.

Such faith in their student? Or do they not know the risk?

He could only shook his head helplessly. Compared to them, he wasn't that positive about this. However now, he just had to finish and go through with it, regardless of what could happen.

"Let us begin!"
