The next morning.
"How is his condition?"
Liehong Mountain stood quietly outside the special care unit. Through the glass window, he looked at Zhou Yuanjue, who lay on the bed covered in bandages, and asked the director of the special hospital beside him.
"Incredible. Truly incredible."
The director of the special hospital was a bald, elderly man in a white coat. He pushed up his glasses and watched the dical staff bustling about inside the room, operating various instrunts, his voice filled with amazent.
To have beco the director of the Secret Inspection Bureau's special hospital, he was already one of the foremost authorities in Donghua Country's dical field. Furthermore, with access to the Secret Inspection Bureau's special intelligence, he had participated in nurous secret experints related to Symbionts and had seen countless special cases involving the human body. But he had never seen anything like Zhou Yuanjue's situation before.
"Ruptured internal organs, shattered bones, organ failure, massive internal bleeding... Under these circumstances, not only did he not die, but his current physical indicators are far beyond the scope of an ordinary person. If he weren't lying right there and I didn't know his specific condition, looking at his vitals alone, I would think that was a terrifying beast on that bed." procrastinator
"What's more, his tabolism and self-healing abilities are beyond imagination. In just one night, we've already administered a full case of various nutritional IV drips. The rate at which his body converts and tabolizes nutrients is even faster than the speed of our infusions. We had to use a special thod just to keep up with his tabolic consumption."
"It's hard to believe that in such a short ti, his surface wounds have almost completely healed, and the most difficult issue, his internal organ function, has largely stabilized. I think he might make a full recovery in less than three days."
"It's as if an immortal Divine Being resides within his body. Who is he, exactly? Are the confidentiality regulations so strict that you can't reveal anything?"
The old director of the special hospital remarked with a sigh.
"You don't need to ask . You should have already sensed it, right? He... has reached the sa realm as I have."
Liehong Mountain said softly.
"Saint Awakening?!"
Hearing this, a look of shock, followed by dawning realization, flashed in the old director's eyes.
No wonder. If he was at the Saint Awakening level, then everything made sense.
From the limited Data and files he had seen, he knew just how terrifying that realm was.
He still rembered the feeling of having his entire worldview overturned when he first saw that test Data.
In ancient tis, existences like these were the Immortal Gods who played in the mortal realm, the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who saved all living beings. Their abilities were monstrous, incomprehensible to ordinary people.
"Regarding his situation, have your people keep their mouths shut. Have them sign non-disclosure agreents; nothing can be leaked. I will report his case to the higher-ups. However, he has only just advanced to Saint Awakening and will need a considerable amount of ti to improve. If word gets out too early, he could easily beco a public target. For now, let's just let him have so peace and quiet."
Liehong Mountain said coolly to the old director.
"I'm aware of the confidentiality protocols. I'll emphasize them with my staff."
The old director nodded.
"How is the other person's condition?"
Liehong Mountain asked.
"The other one is not doing well. His condition has stabilized for now, but unlike this man, his body doesn't possess such a powerful self-healing ability. We ran a brainwave test on him yesterday and found almost zero brain activity. I'm afraid..."
The old director shook his head.
"Is that one also..."
The old director asked tentatively.
"If he survives, then he is. If he doesn't, then he's nothing. This is their tribulation. If they endure it, a limitless future awaits. If they don't, their bodies and souls will perish."
Liehong Mountain said, his expression calm.
"Treat him with everything you have. Notify if anything changes."
Liehong Mountain took one last look at Zhou Yuanjue on the hospital bed, then turned and left.
He knew he no longer needed to worry about Zhou Yuanjue's condition. Although he was severely injured, in Liehong Mountain's eyes, his Life Magnetic Field burned as vigorously as a fla.
Reborn through Nirvana, that fla of life would only burn more intensely.
Watching Liehong Mountain's back disappear down the end of the corridor, the old director glanced back at the tall figure lying on the bed. A look of excitent appeared on his face. 'A Saint Awakening... and a newly advanced one who has suffered such severe injuries, no less! The Data on his physical condition might help us research more powerful tissue-regeneration technology. It seems I won't be idle these next few days.'
...
...
Zhou Yuanjue lay in the hospital bed for a total of seven days.
By the third day, the injuries to his internal organs had almost completely healed, but he did not wake up.
That wondrous state of Nirvana, found between life and death, was a rare opportunity. He needed to seize this chance to push his physical fitness to a new peak.
On the fourth day, the shattered bones on one half of his body were miraculously repaired.
On the fifth day, with his mind and body in a state of high fusion, his physical constitution began to break through its original limits. He grew stronger and more terrifying, and his Life Magnetic Field expanded violently, completely enveloping the entire special care unit.
This situation continued for three consecutive days.
「The morning of the seventh day.」
In the rest area outside Zhou Yuanjue's room, doctors and nurses were seated everywhere. So had just pulled an all-nighter performing surgery on several critically injured patients. They hadn't co here to run tests on Zhou Yuanjue, but simply because this was a place where they could rest better.
Three days ago, a subtle, ethereal fluctuation—an aura—had begun to emanate from the room. Anyone who ca near it would feel their mind and body beco extrely relaxed and peaceful. A warm sensation would spread through their body and Spirit, quickly sweeping away all fatigue. Even minor physical ailnts would be healed.
Many people knew that all of this originated from the "patient" in this special care unit.
anwhile, inside the hospital room.
Around Zhou Yuanjue's bed, nurous nurses were still bustling about, constantly supplying his body with various nutrients. He was connected to all sorts of monitoring devices, which tracked the changes in his internal Data mont by mont.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!
Zhou Yuanjue's powerful heartbeat thundered like a war drum. The blood rushing through his vessels actually produced a faint sound, like the tide of the sea.
"So this is the so-called Life Magnetic Field? The Saint Awakening realm is truly miraculous. If I weren't experiencing it myself, I wouldn't believe it was real."
Standing beside the old director was a female doctor in a white coat. She had a neat, short haircut and an elegant, intelligent face.
Over the past few days, under the influence of the strong Life Magnetic Field naturally radiating from Zhou Yuanjue, she felt her body and Spirit beco more comfortable than ever before. The ntal fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and other symptoms from working late nights had all been swept away, leaving her radiant. Even her skin seed to have beco more translucent.
She even suspected that if she stayed by this person's side for a long ti, she could live a long, healthy life, free of illness and disaster.
'What is a Miracle Elixir? This man is a living Miracle Elixir!'
'There have always been ancient tales of Tang Monk's Flesh. I used to be skeptical, but now, I feel like those legends are all true.'
"Everyone has a Life Magnetic Field. For an ordinary person, it's very weak. For soone who is strong and well-trained, it's a bit more powerful. For a top Martial Artist, their powerful Psychic Power resonates with their Life Magnetic Field, producing a strong ntal influence on other living beings. But that is still within the bounds of humanity. Saint Awakening, however, has already transcended this boundary. It can influence reality and bring salvation to the masses."
the old director remarked with emotion.
"His body is too terrifying. Three days ago, his vitals began to surpass the limits of ordinary human physical endurance we have on record, and they haven't stopped climbing. It's hard to imagine, but his body temperature is now more than double that of a normal person. It's like he's on fire. An ordinary person would have burned to death long ago, but he's completely fine."
"His muscle strength, bone density, the durability of his organs and blood vessels, the toughness of his skin... it all far exceeds the scope of a normal human. And this doesn't even seem to be his limit. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a Superhuman. Can anyone truly stand up to an existence like this?"
The female doctor fell into a state of self-doubt.
She was a dical genius in the field of human biology. At only twenty-five, she was already an expert in her field in the country. During her advanced studies in Starry Sky Country, she had won nurous awards. If she weren't exceptional, she wouldn't have been qualified to be selected for a secret project like the Secret Inspection Bureau's special hospital, nor would she be grood by the old director—a titan in his field—as his future successor.
To put it bluntly, her achievents were absolutely at the top among her peers in the country.
But even soone like her couldn't help but feel a sense of inadequacy when she looked at the man of the sa age lying in that hospital bed.
"There are so who can, yes. Man's power has its limits, after all. But without using other special masters to counteract them, and without choosing a specific ti and place, the price of confronting soone like this would be unacceptable for any country. Their Life Magnetic Field can regulate our bodies and minds, but it can also take our lives in an instant."
"If people like him weren't so difficult to deal with, the country wouldn't have recently gone to such great lengths, undertaking so many drastic asures under so much pressure."
The old director shook his head.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Suddenly, Zhou Yuanjue's drum-like heartbeat grew rapid, becoming louder and louder.
The blood surged wildly through his body, his physical functions abruptly and rapidly strengthened, and the Life Magnetic Field he naturally emitted grew violent.
"The patient's temperature is continuing to rise..."
A nurse who had been watching the monitors quickly reported. The other dical staff didn't even dare to touch Zhou Yuanjue's skin, afraid of getting burned.
At the sa ti, under the influence of the powerful Life Magnetic Field, everyone present felt as if a raging fire had been lit inside them. Their body temperatures rose drastically in a short period, causing intense physical discomfort.
"Quick!! Quick!! All personnel, evacuate the room imdiately! And! Evacuate! Imdiately move all patients in the sa area on these two floors to at least fifty ters away!"
The old director's expression changed. He seed to realize that the power emanating from Zhou Yuanjue was spiraling out of control. Having little experience with a severely injured Saint Awakening Powerhouse, he hadn't anticipated such a situation.
However, by the ti he realized it, it was already too late.
SCREEECH!!
A sharp bird's cry entered their ears. Around Zhou Yuanjue's body, his powerful Life Magnetic Field combined with the free-floating electrons in the air to emit a faint glow. Vaguely visible within it was a bird, curled up and wrapped in flas. It opened its eyes, spread its wings, and soared.
Nirvana between life and death, rebirth in flas!
