Chapter 270: Chapter 70: The Black Token Strikes, Plunging into Crisis! (Seeking Follow-Up Reading)
On the third floor of the Bronze Hall, right after Xiao Ye was teleported away, the young male genius told the young female genius to crush the boundary-breaking item she carried, sending her back home to be treated first.
The two of them were direct descendants of a Saint-level Medical Family from Jinling Base City, and the young man believed the elders at home would be able to detoxify this kind of nerve poison.
Next, the half-zombified young male genius activated the Teleportation Array and headed toward the fourth floor of the Bronze Hall, appearing not far from Xiao Ye.
At that moment, Xiao Ye was sizing up a virtual screen overhead.
On the virtual screen, the content for this trial was displayed. The font dated back to ancient times, but when Xiao Ye looked at it, the Rule Power of the Bronze Hall let him understand its meaning.
[Medical Dao Insight Trial, manually start the trial, after the trial begins, you will receive a dying creature infected with a strange disease. As long as you keep the creature from dying within one hour, you pass the trial.]
[First trial completion reward, one Supreme Level offensive item, one Supreme Level defensive item.]
Xiao Ye stroked his chin, pondering. *This stage was meant to test the trialist’s Medical Dao insight, asking him to perceive and solve diseases he’d never encountered before.*
*But as someone who’d never studied the Medical Dao, he was a total amateur, knowing zero treatment techniques and nothing of medical theory, let alone figuring out a method to deal with some rare disease on his own.*
Just then, the foul-smelling half-zombified young male genius exclaimed with delight, "Start the trial!"
"I’m confident in this stage!"
"The trial reward is as good as mine!"
Buzzz buzzz buzzz!
The young male genius was moved into the air by the Rule Power of the Bronze Hall. Hovering before him appeared a half-zombified, middle-aged man lying flat in midair.
This half-zombified middle-aged man’s eyes snapped open. From despair burst a glimmer of hope, and he said weakly, "Quick, kill me, put me out of my misery already!"
"I’m a trialist from last year who didn’t clear the trial and didn’t have a Boundary-Breaking Talisman, so the Bronze Hall forcibly detained me and kept me alive—worse than death."
"Oh damn, you’re half-zombified too?"
When the dying man saw the young male genius’s face clearly, he was shocked and said, "Kid, let me warn you, if you can’t get out of the Bronze Hall, better just end yourself early."
The young man’s face went dark, and he slapped the guy across the cheek, "Shut the hell up!"
"Quit running your mouth. I’ve got boundary-breaking items, I can’t die!"
"Just cooperate and let me finish this trial, that’s all you need to do."
Xiao Ye glanced sideways at the two of them, a bit surprised—the dying human was actually last year’s trialist!
*Forcibly kept alive by the Bronze Hall?*
*So his trial subject this time was probably also last year’s trialist.*
"Start the trial!"
Xiao Ye said through gritted teeth.
After he spoke, a pulling force moved him into the air, not far from the young man.
In front of Xiao Ye appeared another dying human.
It was a beautiful, mature woman still retaining her charm, dressed in a tight leather outfit that accentuated her figure. But she was deathly pale and radiated an unnatural coldness—Xiao Ye could feel the chill from a distance.
Lying horizontally in midair, the beautiful woman opened her hazy eyes and said, "Am I finally about to be freed?"
"Handsome, please just end me, thanks."
"Hey, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and do it! I’ll pay you back in my next life, I’ll be your slave or whatever you want."
"Hmm, if you’re feeling desperate, sorry I really can’t help you now, but after I’m gone, feel free to do whatever, while I’m still warm."
"Huh? What’s with that look? Stop staring at me like I’m some kind of pervert!"
Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched and he said, "Sorry, you’re my trial subject. I can’t kill you."
Then he took out a black token and activated the [Pathogen Ingestion Function: able to ingest tens of millions of pathogens in the world, already capable of achieving a cure].
That’s right, Xiao Ye wanted to exploit a loophole.
*He really didn’t know anything about the Medical Dao, but when it came to curing diseases, he had his own way.*
The black token buzzed and flared with light, its radiance enveloping the beautiful woman’s body.
Swoosh! The beautiful woman’s eyes nearly popped out—something in her body was forcibly extracted from head to toe.
The black token’s glow faded.
Panting for breath, the beautiful woman’s freezing temperature gradually rose, returning to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. She was stunned and said, "I’m alive?"
Her body was still very weak and worn out, but that helpless, powerless sensation had vanished. All the negative factors that had tormented her for a year were entirely removed.
Xiao Ye laughed and said, "That’s right, you’re cured."
The root of her illness was fully eliminated, so naturally, her condition was resolved.
[Trial cleared]
[Trial reward distributed]
Xiao Ye was drawn by the Bronze Hall’s power onto the Teleportation Array. Two boxes automatically popped open, revealing two Supreme Level items inside.
The beautiful woman landed on the ground, still in disbelief. She stared at her hands, and after a long moment, she cried out in delight, "I’m alive!"
"I don’t have to die! This is awesome."
"Handsome, thank you!" she shouted her thanks.
The young male genius was startled, glancing at Xiao Ye, who had already completed the trial. His jaw dropped, and his whole worldview shattered.
"Uh..."
"The one-hour trial time isn’t even up, and you freaking passed already?"
"Then what the hell am I even trying for?"
"Seriously, goddamn Bronze Hall, what a piece of crap!"
The young man cursed under his breath, slapping the half-zombified middle-aged man in the face.
The middle-aged man roared in annoyance, "Are you brain-damaged? He passed the trial, and you’re hitting me for no damn reason. Hurts like hell."
The young man ignored him and shouted up at the Bronze Hall,
"The trial on this floor’s been going for less than two minutes, and you short-circuited or something? Letting him pass just like that?"
The beautiful, mature woman lost her patience and scolded, "Hey, you, looking like you just crawled out of the gutter, are you blind or what? That handsome kid already cured all my problems, so of course he passed the trial."
"If you don’t have the skills to cure your own half-zombified geezer, don’t blame the Bronze Hall!"
At this, both the young man and the middle-aged guy were stupefied.
He healed the disease completely in under two minutes?
*What kind of Medical Dao freak is this guy?*
Black lines rose over the already dark face of the young man, who grumbled, "Screw this, I’m out. With a Medical Dao monster like him, there’s no way that Emperor Level Medical Dao inheritance is mine."
"I’m going home to get treated, I’m outta here!"
He kicked the half-zombified middle-aged man aside, took out a boundary-breaking item, and crushed it, leaving the Bronze Hall.
The young genius was afraid that, if he stayed any longer, he’d end up like that middle-aged man—better off dead. He was also afraid that Xiao Ye’s monstrous presence would completely crush his Dao heart.
Xiao Ye stashed away the two Supreme Level offensive and defensive items.
Just then, the air pressure in the whole space intensified to the extreme, gravity multiplying a hundredfold. A pair of massive, crimson eyes took over the entire sky above the Teleportation Array.
"You sure know how to exploit the rules. Trialists like you shouldn’t exist!"
"Hand over the Bronze Token, and I’ll let you keep an intact corpse!"
Majestic and divine words boomed out across the entire space.
*Being stared at by those blood-red eyes, Xiao Ye felt a chilling dread, every hair on his body standing on end.*
