The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King Chapter 48 Soul-devouring Gu

The silver needle pierced through Gu's mother's skull with lightning speed and penetrated her brain!

In turn, Gu's mother imdiately passed out and slumped back into the wheelchair after the needle entered her brain.

"Luo Chao...what...what are you doing?" Gu Yanxi, who was just imrsed in joy, couldn't help but cry out in fear upon seeing Luo Chao pierce her mother with the needle.

"Don't be afraid, I won't harm her! Your mother is deeply poisoned, the toxins have infiltrated her brain stem, and I must remove them from there. Otherwise, her paralysis will recur in the future, and if it does, it won't be just a simple leg paralysis!" Luo Chao explained calmly, without any trace of emotion.

anwhile, he held the tail of the silver needle, shaking it rapidly once again.

As the silver needle vibrated, silky venom, like viscous ink, flowed out from Gu's mother's acupoints along the needle, dripping onto the ground.

Witnessing this scene, even the nearby traditional dicine expert, Jiang Lianqing, felt his heart tremble.

He had spent most of his life studying acupuncture but had never heard of applying it to the human brain, which is an astonishing feat.

Everything Luo Chao did today felt like it was overturning his worldview, causing him to doubt the authority of modern dicine!

Without realizing it, five minutes had passed.

As the toxins dripping from the silver needle dwindled until they dried up, Luo Chao swiftly extracted the silver needle from Gu's mother's brain.

Indeed, because the extraction of the silver needle was so quick, the skin of Gu's mother's brain tissue remained unscathed and uninjured.

"The toxins in your mother's body have been completely removed by . From now on, you only need to give her so supplents to recover her body. Within months, she will be completely healthy," Luo Chao said evenly.

"Luo Chao...I...I really don't know how to thank you, I..." Gu Yanxi was so emotional that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

So, she instinctively lunged at Luo Chao, hugging his waist tightly and burying her head deeply in his chest.

Slling the faint fragrance from Gu Yanxi's hair, Luo Chao felt a rush of tranquillity and instinctively patted her head like soothing an injured kitten.

"Ahem, ahem, youth is wonderful!" Jiang Lianqing couldn't help but clear his throat when he saw the young couple hugging so intimately, pretending to look out at the scenery.

After Gu Yanxi cald down a bit, she finally released Luo Chao.

Then, she seed to realize her inappropriate behavior, blushing as she sat back beside her mother, attempting to clean up the venom that had just leaked.

"Don't wipe with your hands, you'll get poisoned! This isn't an ordinary toxin, it's a Gu poison!" Luo Chao stopped Gu Yanxi's action while explaining.

"Gu poison?!" Hearing the term, Jiang Lianqing, who was pretending to look at the scenery, couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, this Gu poison is called Soul-devouring Gu. The affected person's body will start from the toes upwards, slowly entering paralysis until even the brain becos paralyzed, turning into a vegetative state, thus becoming live feeding grounds for the Gu parasites!"

Luo Chao frowned deeply, explaining word by word. He, too, found this Gu poison extrely cruel.

Back then, when their unit went to the Golden Triangle for a mission, several comrades were afflicted by this Soul-devouring Gu, becoming brain-dead vegetative states within months.

It was the poisoning of his comrades that motivated Luo Chao to study dicine, as he never wanted to experience the helplessness of witnessing his brothers die before him again.

Luo Chao continued, "However, although this Gu poison is potent, it has a peculiarity—it only poisons healthy individuals whereas those who are weak or ill have resistance to it. Therefore, without the special protective tools, healthy individuals should never touch it with bare hands."

"But my mother has never been abroad, how could she be poisoned like this?" Gu Yanxi asked in confusion.

Luo Chao looked at the still-comatose Gu's mother, "You'll have to ask your mother that."

With Luo Chao's words, Jiang Lianqing hurriedly summoned two nurses, instructing them to wear special protective gloves before cleaning up the black venom.

After Luo Chao cured Gu's father and mother, Gu Yanxi stayed in the ward, further caring for her parents, preparing for their complete recovery.

anwhile, Luo Chao was quietly pulled into the office by Jiang Lianqing, the dean.

Upon entering the office, Jiang Lianqing unexpectedly locked the office door from the inside!

Imdiately, Jiang Lianqing turned, rubbing his palms together, gazing at Luo Chao with deep affection, his old eyes remarkably emitting a fla of love!

"Dean Jiang, what are you doing!" Even with Luo Chao's skills, seeing an elderly man near his eighties showing such an affectionate expression made him panic.

However, Jiang Lianqing didn't answer his question but instead slowly approached him step by step.

Seeing his ravenous appearance, it seed that drool was about to drip from his mouth.

"Dean Jiang, please speak your mind, I...I...don't swing that way!" Luo Chao waved his hands repeatedly, swallowed nervously, instinctively tightening his muscles, afraid of being assaulted by Jiang Lianqing.

But Jiang Lianqing still didn't say a word, only getting closer and closer to Luo Chao, forcing him to retreat.

Yet, after only a few steps back, Luo Chao bumped into Jiang Lianqing's office desk, rendered unable to retreat.

As Luo Chao was cornered with no way out, Jiang Lianqing suddenly knelt down to him with a bang!

"Master Luo Chao, please take as your old apprentice!" Jiang Lianqing knelt before Luo Chao, his hands clasped together, repeatedly kowtowing!

"Hey, no, no! This must not be, Dean Jiang, please stand up!" As soon as Luo Chao saw the nearly eighty-year-old Jiang Lianqing kowtowing to him, he quickly stepped forward to help him up.

But Jiang Lianqing stubbornly refused to rise, lifting his head to say, "Master Luo Chao, since ancient tis, the learned beco the teachers, please take as your old apprentice! Otherwise, I will not get up!"

Now Luo Chao was sowhat helpless. If he used brute force, it might allow him to make Jiang Lianqing stand up but would likely injure the old man.

If he didn't use brute force, Jiang Lianqing stubbornly refused to get up, which left Luo Chao quite worried.

"Alright, alright, Dean Jiang, please get up, I'll take you as my apprentice!" With no choice left, Luo Chao begrudgingly accepted Jiang Lianqing's request.

"Master Luo Chao, please teach the Extre Electric Needle Technique!"

Jiang Lianqing's first words upon standing were a request for Luo Chao to teach him the Extre Electric Needle Technique.

"I would like to teach you, but about the Extre Electric Needle Technique..."

Knock, knock, knock!

Before Luo Chao could finish, suddenly, the office door was vigorously knocked by a young nurse.

"Dean Jiang, that unruly patient from yesterday has returned!"
