The biggest difference between masters of external and internal arts is probably Inner Strength.
Masters of the internal arts channel their energy into their abdon, relying on their profound Inner Strength to unleash latent power within their bodies, displaying remarkable prowess. It's challenging to get started, the rate of progress in strength is usually moderate, but the bottleneck period tends to occur later.
On the other hand, masters of the external arts have Inner Strength on the surface, extrely firm and vigorous; while the physical body is crucial, Inner Strength is also a key component. It's easy to get started, and their strength increases rapidly in the initial stages, mostly relying on the body-strengthening effects of dicinal baths.
However, the bottleneck for external masters appears early; their bones, muscles, and skin are tougher and more resilient than ordinary people, making the Eight Extraordinary ridians very difficult to unblock. If the Eight ridians are blocked, how can the Golden Core be cultivated?
Just before the water boiled, the rhythm Lin Tian tapped gently on the table was not random.
Spiritual Qi imbued in his fingers, the rhythm tapped on the table also varied with the breathing frequency of Nan Qiu.
Breathing is the most fundantal breath for people, and with Lin Tian's current skill level, he can only find a faint resonance through her breathing and then slowly amplify it.
Once the resonance reaches a certain intensity, the Inner Strength hidden in her body begins to react, progressing as naturally as water flowing.
This is considered a small favor for Nan Qiu, and also a chance to understand Xiaocheng's current training situation.
After this trial, Lin Tian almost laughed out loud. The Inner Strength within this young lady is extrely chaotic, and she can't even use it at all.
Simply put, she beca an external arts master likely by sheer luck, and Xiaocheng probably has many people like her. They are still in the initial exploratory stage, without any foundation, vastly differing from the Celestial Dragon Continent.
Nan Qiu lifted the teapot with one hand and filled the empty cup with tea, taking a shallow sip.
Since Lin Tian was unwilling to say more, she didn't care to ask further. She's not the type who likes to talk, let alone asking sothing from soone she doesn't like, which she couldn't bring herself to do.
Hua Dongxu, however, showed a keen interest in tea, casually chatting with Lin Tian as they drank.
Before long, Zhao Xuefeng, Mr. Ji, and Liu Mang were brought in.
Upon their arrival, the previously relaxed atmosphere imdiately changed, becoming sowhat heavy.
Unlike Lin Tian's nonchalant attitude, they viewed the patient's condition as the top priority.
Being the host, Nan Qiu, straightforward in nature, wouldn't cater to the guests, so this task naturally fell to Hua Dongxu.
He invited everyone to sit down and introduced them to each other.
Nan Qiu surprisingly presented the brewed tea to them herself, then said, "I'm not good at speaking Celestial Dragon Continent language, so let keep it simple. Thank you all for making ti from your busy schedules to co. I entrust Jin Guard's condition to you all, please feel free to ntion anything you might need."
Mr. Yee clasped his hands together on the table and said, "Can't we see the patient first? Perhaps we may discover sothing new. If you're not willing to trust us, why are we even called here?"
Zhao Xuefeng and the others nodded lightly in agreent, as they had only briefly glimpsed the patient from afar before being led here.
Nan Qiu, who's not good at expressing herself, seed unsure how to clarify this matter, so she threw a look at Hua Dongxu.
Hua Dongxu got the hint, stood up with an awkward laugh, and said in a well-practiced Celestial Dragon Continent dialect, "We understand everyone here is a renowned doctor from the Celestial Dragon Continent, with significant contributions in their respective fields. But Jin Guard is very weak now; having so many people might disturb him, please forgive us."
"We'll provide a comprehensive introduction of Jin Guard's condition here. I hope everyone can handle the part they are most familiar with."
After Hua Dongxu finished speaking, Zhao Xuefeng, Mr. Yee, and others showed slightly surprised expressions.
Bringing together top doctors from various dical fields to handle their specialties suggests just how many ailnts the patient has?
Soon, Hua Dongxu answered their question.
The conference room walls served as a screen, with a projector displaying Jin Guard's dical condition on the wall.
From broad to detailed, from the condition to the treatnt history, Hua Dongxu spoke for nearly half an hour.
Just as Lin Tian previously understood: there were gunshot wounds, old injuries, poisoning, fractures, and nerve damage.
In conclusion, surviving is already a miraculous feat. These achievents are credited to the godly doctor Xv Qibin, which gained Zhao Xuefeng and the others more insight into this dical deity.
Next, various examinations like CT and x-rays of Jin Guard appeared on the wall, followed by distributing copies of the dical records to everyone.
The more they looked, the deeper everyone's frowns beca. The atmosphere grew more tense; everyone was silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Hua Dongxu stood in front of the computer, looking at everyone's expressions, not daring to make any moves for fear of disrupting their thoughts.
They are facing several major challenges now. The bullet lodged within Jin Guard must be removed without damaging the ridians. Furthermore, the poison inside him is nearing the end of Xv Qibin's dicine's effectiveness; once ti runs out, cardiac arrest will be inevitable, saving him would be impossible.
As for the fractures and nerve damages, these can be postponed compared to life-threatening risks.
Hua Dongxu turned his gaze to Lin Tian, deeply impressed by this guy. Given his personality, shouldn't he stand up and say sothing at this mont? Even just a suggestion would suffice.
The conference room stayed silent for quite so ti until Zhao Xuefeng finally spoke. He calmly said, "I still want to see the patient first before comnting."
Hua Dongxu looked at Nan Qiu, unable to make a decision on this matter.
"Sure, but only one person can go in at a ti, there's the most precise monitoring inside, also for Jin Guard's safety. I hope everyone can understand," Nan Qiu said.
Of course, nobody objected since they would be less confident without monitoring in case sothing went wrong.
Zhao Xuefeng was the first to stand up, following the small-eyed guard to the ward. Through monitoring equipnt, Lin Tian and others could observe the situation inside the ward.
Zhao Xuefeng first observed Jin Guard's facial features, tongue coating, and eyes before checking the pulse. He wished to attempt so auxiliary treatnt but couldn't figure out where to start, so he backed out.
Upon Zhao Xuefeng's return, Hua Dongxu eagerly asked, "How is it?"
"Worse than I imagined. Very tricky," Zhao Xuefeng replied.
Hearing this expected answer, Nan Qiu sighed lightly, then took a deep breath to gather her spirits.
"Who else wants to take a look?" Nan Qiu glanced around, her heart on edge. These people are Jin Guard's last hope, Zhao Xuefeng is already at a loss, hopefully, the others won't disappoint her.
