[Gynecology Divine Hand, Cao Mengde]
Douluo Continent.
Spirit City, Rejuvenation Hall.
Cao Mengde sat in the main hall, watching people come and go along the street outside.
Why hadn't any beauties come to him for treatment?
He was the Gynecology Divine Hand, an expert specializing in all manner of difficult and mysterious ailments affecting women.
There was no hurry.
He believed Bibi Dong would soon come knocking, seeking treatment from him.
"Are you a Healing System Soul Master or an ordinary physician?"
Just then.
A young woman dressed in a gradient of orange and white suddenly appeared at the entrance.
Cao Mengde took a closer look.
It was Hu Liena.
"Is there a difference between a Healing System Soul Master and an ordinary physician?"
"As long as someone can cure a patient's illness, doesn't that make them a good doctor?"
Hu Liena frowned.
She felt the man's words were far too arrogant.
But she was in no mood to argue with him.
Her teacher had fallen gravely ill, was in an extremely foul mood, and often lost her temper.
Spirit Hall's Healing System Soul Masters were at their wits' end, so she, as her teacher's only disciple, had gone out in search of a solution.
"Come with me to Spirit Hall," Hu Liena said flatly, leaving it at that.
Cao Mengde knew Hu Liena's purpose was to find someone to treat Bibi Dong.
Don't ask how he knew so clearly.
It was because he was the one who had placed a gu on Bibi Dong.
Two and a half days earlier.
Cao Mengde had transmigrated to Douluo Continent.
He had bound himself to a bizarre Disease Treatment System.
Since treating illnesses made him stronger, he needed patients.
And the Soul Master World had no shortage of Healing System Soul Masters.
To let him grow stronger through treating illnesses, the system had granted him a heaven-defying skill.
He could use the system to place a gu on anyone.
To be precise, he could make others fall ill.
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
"Set out at once and come with me to Spirit Hall," Hu Liena said displeasedly.
Illnesses caused by a gu placed through the system left everyone else at a loss.
Only his, Cao Mengde's, Gynecology Divine Hand could cure them, and in the end, he would receive a reward.
To grow stronger.
Cao Mengde had no choice.
So he placed a gu on Bibi Dong.
Chest tightness.
"Aiya..."
Cao Mengde sighed.
"Sorry, I only see patients here. If someone in your family is ill, please have her come to my Rejuvenation Hall."
Cao Mengde had originally intended to go see Bibi Dong.
But Hu Liena's attitude was simply too arrogant.
She hadn't even opened her eyes to look at him when she spoke, as though she were issuing an order.
Sure enough.
Hu Liena's expression turned cold.
"Someone, seize him and take him back to Spirit Hall."
"Yes."
Four young, able-bodied Spirit Hall Soul Masters immediately entered from outside.
At the sight.
Cao Mengde didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He teased her.
"Rumor has it that Spirit Hall throws its weight around and acts high-handedly. Now that I've seen it for myself, the rumors are true."
Hu Liena couldn't concern herself with anything else.
In her heart, there was only her teacher.
She had come to Spirit City this time to seize every Healing System Soul Master and physician and make them treat her teacher.
"Take him away."
Hu Liena turned around confidently.
She thought her subordinates could take care of the matter.
The next moment.
A flash of dazzling red light entered Hu Liena's vision.
What was this?
Before she had time to consider what the red light was.
She suddenly felt a terrifying pressure descend, like a hundred thousand mountains bearing down on her head.
Hu Liena turned back, her body trembling.
Only then did she discover that there were nine Soul Rings beneath his feet.
Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
A pair of vivid green hands looked strange and unfathomable.
Hu Liena's face went deathly pale, and her little mouth fell open.
A Titled Douluo?
"Cao Mengde, level 91 Healing System Titled Douluo. Martial Soul: Gynecology Divine Hand."
"Title: Divine Hand Douluo."
"I told you, if someone in your family is ill, please bring them to my Rejuvenation Hall. Don't be so rude and overbearing at the slightest provocation. If you act like that, even if I have the ability to cure the illness, I won't treat you."
"You don't even understand the basics of dealing with people."
"I really don't know who raised you to be this way."
Hearing those words.
Hu Liena's fury soared to the heavens.
In all her life, this was the first time she had been scolded so thoroughly. It was as though he had struck a sore spot, and her anger turned to shame.
However.
To find medicine for her teacher as soon as possible.
She could only suppress her grief and indignation.
"Seeing as you have a fair bit of beauty, I, Cao Mengde, won't hold it against you."
With a slight thought.
Cao Mengde withdrew the pressure on Hu Liena and the Spirit Hall Soul Masters.
Everyone felt as though a weight had been lifted from their shoulders and immediately relaxed.
Cao Mengde?
Hu Liena committed the name to memory.
Judging by his age, he was only around eighteen, yet he was a Titled Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Filled with shock and fear, Hu Liena returned to Spirit Hall.
"Get out..."
"All of you, get out..."
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong flung the church documents in her hand away.
Even the desk in front of her wasn't spared.
Crash, clatter.
It tumbled down from the papal dais.
"All of you, get out!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei, standing in the great hall, were filled with fear and unease.
The two went outside the hall.
Yue Guan said softly.
"His Holiness the Pope's temper has been getting worse lately. Sometimes she flies into a rage for no apparent reason. Old Ghost, what exactly is going on?"
Gui Mei's expression grew grave.
"How would I know?"
"Every healing Soul Master in Spirit Hall has examined His Holiness, but none of them could identify her illness."
Yue Guan thought it over.
He asked curiously.
"Is His Holiness the Pope really ill, or is something weighing on her mind?"
Just then.
Hu Liena came walking toward them.
"Grandpa Ghost, is Teacher still the same?"
"Yes, Nana. His Holiness is angry right now. You absolutely must not go in."
Ignoring Gui Mei's warning, Hu Liena entered the Pope's Palace.
Her teacher had been emotionally unstable lately and had fallen gravely ill. Fortunately, she had found an excellent healing Soul Master.
"Teacher..."
Bibi Dong sat on the throne.
Compared with her earlier rage.
She looked much better.
But her brows were still knitted with worry, and her face was pale.
She didn't know what was going on.
She had recently come down with a strange illness.
Her chest felt terribly tight, and even basic breathing was extremely difficult.
As a result, she was in no mood to do anything.
She was especially prone to anger.
"Nana..."
"Healing System Soul Masters are useless."
"There shouldn't be Soul Masters of that type in the Soul Master World. Issue an order at once to slaughter every healing-type Soul Master under heaven."
Hearing this.
Hu Liena's heart trembled violently.
She knew.
Her teacher had only spoken so harshly because she was feeling irritable.
"Teacher, this disciple found a Healing System Soul Master in Spirit City. Perhaps he can cure your illness."
Seeing that the people in Spirit Hall were at their wits' end.
Hu Liena had gone out on her own to continue searching for a Healing System Soul Master for Bibi Dong.
She hadn't expected it.
But she really had encountered one: the young man who had scolded her.
However.
Bibi Dong showed no trace of delight.
Instead, her expression turned to disgust.
"He's surely another good-for-nothing. Drag him out and kill him."
Hu Liena was rather embarrassed.
Even if she wanted to kill him, she couldn't lay a hand on him.
After all, she hadn't managed to bring him to Spirit Hall at all.
She had intended to seize him and bring him back, but his Soul Power and Soul Rings had frightened her.
"Teacher, that man is around eighteen years old, a Healing System Titled Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
At once.
Bibi Dong raised her beautiful eyes.
"What did you say?"
"An eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo?"
Hu Liena nodded.
She wasn't talking nonsense.
She had seen those nine Soul Rings with her own eyes.
"His name is Cao Mengde. He's the resident physician at Rejuvenation Hall. He's so young, yet he's already accomplished so much. He must have something extraordinary about him. Teacher, why don't you give him a try?"
Bibi Dong had lost hope long ago.
But when she suddenly heard about an eighteen-year-old Healing System Titled Douluo, even she, in the depths of despair, could not help but glimpse a ray of hope.
"All right."
"Nana, come with me to Rejuvenation Hall."
