The Shockingly Powerful Surgeon

Surgeons are auxiliary support professions in logistics, no matter where they are.

This profession requires a lot of time to learn professional medical and pharmaceutical knowledge, so generally speaking, few doctors have the extra energy to study martial arts.

Moreover, the awakened attributes of their advanced potion sequences are generally related to "memory," "learning," "brain development," and "mental focus." With their relatively frail bodies, they are not very suited to learning close-combat martial arts.

Even though Rein had pestered Sam to learn some common warrior skills these past two days, in Canossa's eyes, it was merely a young man who had just entered the extraordinary realm and was interested in martial arts.

She couldn't tell that Rein had only recently advanced to become an Awakened, and he still lacked much basic extraordinary knowledge.

A novice of this level should not normally be a match for an adult Gale Wolf.

But in this practical combat, she discovered that Rein's combat power was not as "noob" as she had imagined.

It was even astonishing!

"Hmm, his mechanical arm is quite interesting."

Canossa looked at Rein's mechanical arm, which easily blocked the Gale Wolf's claws, and a flicker of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She naturally knew that this guy wasn't a veterinarian, but she had also thought that the mechanical arm he always wore was some kind of surgical instrument.

Now, seeing it, it was actually a close-combat weapon used by a fighter?

Once the miniature steam boiler activated, it allowed him to easily crush the jaw of the giant wolf in its bite! Such a terrifying power increase must be a high-precision steam-powered exoskeleton, not the "worn-out" common goods it appeared to be.

"Ah, I misjudged. This looks like the work of some master mechanic. Could it be that Princess Ymir left it for him?"

Canossa's beautiful eyes shifted as she felt she had figured something out.

Originally, she had intended to have a few of her attendants look after Rein. It was fine if he got injured, but she didn't want such an interesting doctor to be bitten to death by the Gale Wolf.

Now, seeing his performance, Rein was not inferior to those veteran Scavenger team members at all!

He handled the demon wolf's attacks with exceptional composure, showing no panic at all. And with the assistance of his exquisite mechanical arm, he was even more at ease than others.

"This footwork and instinctive reaction are also professionally trained. Before advancing to the extraordinary realm, he must have studied the introductory martial arts of an assassin."

Canossa's sharp eyes could naturally see Rein's martial arts foundation, and she sighed in her heart, "To reach the 'mastery' level in basic martial arts, he must have put in a lot of effort."

But precisely because she could see it, she became more and more curious.

Rein was a doctor, and it was already unexpected that he used such a heavy close-combat mechanical arm.

But as they fought, he was actually using skilled assassin techniques?

Ruthless, tricky, fatal strikes...

This was clearly the work of a seasoned rogue, not a weak doctor or fighter at all.

"Calm in the face of crisis, decisive in action. He shouldn't be of noble birth; rather, he seems like a professional killer trained in some organization. Where did that Eldest Princess find such a... strange fellow?"

Canossa quickly analyzed some information based on her experience.

But she understood him less and less.

Before her eyes, Rein's martial arts style was very mixed, but it shouldn't belong to a doctor in any case. Yet, he was exactly that.

Not only could he fight in close combat, but he could also skillfully treat severely wounded soldiers, and his surgical skills were also solid.

And that wasn't all.

What surprised Canossa even more was yet to come!

In the midst of the battlefield, Rein's blood was boiling, and he had entered a focused combat state.

It wasn't the first time he had fought against a Gale Wolf, so his response was relatively calm.

Back in the training base of the Weasel Bandit Group, instructors would capture demon wolves for practical training. Many rookies in his batch had died under the mouths of demon wolves.

But now, he wasn't facing a single demon wolf, but a pack of demon wolves that knew how to cooperate!

Although the alloy steam mechanical arm made him unafraid of the demon wolf's claws and bites, he couldn't withstand their sheer numbers.

And at this moment, a crisis suddenly appeared.

Just as Rein was stopping the bleeding for an injured soldier, a lone Gale Wolf broke through the defensive perimeter, enveloped in a gust of foul wind, and lunged at him with bared teeth and gaping maw.

The wolf's claws were condensed with a transparent qi glow, a "sharp" grasp formed by condensed wind elements.

Rein instinctively raised his hand to block, precisely using his mechanical arm to block the Gale Wolf's bite, then resorted to the same tactic, curling his fingers and probing into the soft flesh at the base of its tongue, causing it to explode.

Unexpectedly, the moment blood splattered, another hungry wolf lunged from his blind spot, heading straight for his neck!

In this short interval, Rein's mechanical arm was still in the other demon wolf's mouth, leaving him no time to withdraw and swing his mechanical arm to block.

Rein's ear twitched slightly, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

"Danger!"

Seeing this scene, Canossa's beautiful eyes flickered with light from afar, and a moment of worry flashed through her heart.

But before that worry could even show on her expression, she saw an unbelievable sight!

With no time to block, Rein's face showed no panic, and he had no intention of making a futile attempt to raise his arm hastily. Instead, he lowered his center of gravity, pushed off the ground, and lunged forward fiercely.

This move was not a retreat but an advance, directly evading the wolf's claws and slamming into the demon wolf's lower ribs.

"Bang," the sound was like a heavy sandbag hitting the ground.

To their surprise, the magical wolf, over three meters long and weighing two to three hundred pounds, let out a muffled grunt and was sent flying backward by the impact!

"Iron Mountain Lean!"

Canossa's beautiful eyes widened, as if witnessing something impossible, and she was both shocked and suspicious. "He's using it so skillfully? Didn't he just learn it two days ago?"

Rein's stance, impact, and vibration – wasn't that the three-stage "Iron Mountain Lean" Sam had demonstrated the day before yesterday!

Although the power displayed by this martial skill couldn't compare to Sam's, it was definitely not something a novice who had only started learning two days ago could perform.

Judging by his foundation, how could he be so fluid without months of rigorous training?

"This learning talent is too exaggerated."

Finally, Canossa felt like she understood something.

Having traveled with him these past few days, she thought Rein's character and talent were decent, but that was all.

A young prodigy of this caliber wasn't particularly outstanding in high-society noble circles.

But after seeing this "Iron Mountain Lean," she was truly amazed, as if she had discovered a dazzling "sparkling point" about him!

"No wonder Ymir keeps him by her side; he's a martial arts genius."

Canossa believed this must be the case. Otherwise, how could someone practice a martial skill they had never used before to such a degree in just two days?

"Iron Mountain Lean," as a common skill for the Combat class of superhumans, wasn't difficult, but it typically took beginners three to five months to even grasp the basics.

(Martial Skill Stages: Basic Grasp - Proficient - Masterful - Peak.)

To perfectly execute the three-stage damage of impact, vibration, and knockback like that.

This level of proficiency would be impossible without at least a year or more of dedicated practice!

The only explanation was that he possessed an extraordinary learning talent!

Seeing this, Canossa's thoughts drifted, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her beautiful eyes. She murmured, "Perhaps, I can let him try..."

Not far away, Sam, who was locked in a power struggle with the Explosive Brown Bear, was also paying close attention to the battlefield.

When he saw Rein send the magical wolf flying, his eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

No one else could have been more shocked than him, because... he was the one who taught the kid the "Iron Mountain Lean"!

He knew very well that Rein was a complete "newbie" with no prior fighting background. But in just two days, he had achieved this level of proficiency?!

In that instant, Sam felt like he saw his own shadow in Rein. In terms of technique, he couldn't have executed that impact any better himself.

As everyone knew, even the same martial skill would differ greatly when performed by different people.

But Rein's "Iron Mountain Lean" just now, whether it was the exertion, the energy flow, the charge... even the small details like arching his back and retracting his shoulder blades to build momentum, were exactly the same as his demonstration that day!

This... that kid Rein had remembered it perfectly?

This level of mastery, almost like "skill replication," was truly a monstrous learning talent!

It wasn't just Canossa and Sam; everyone present who had noticed this scene was stunned.

The members of the "Scavenger Squad" also glanced over. They had been worried that the young doctor who came to help would perish under the wolf's claws, but now he had resolved the situation so silently.

Initially, they had thought Rein was merely a retainer of that beautiful Countess.

But now it seemed this unassuming personal doctor possessed such formidable combat abilities, no less than that of seasoned Scavengers like themselves!

Moreover, his reaction speed and calm demeanor were incredibly sharp. Was he really a surgeon?
