Does It Really Work???

After another intense, soul-satisfying shock, Li Yao received a new spell from Lin Xiaowei.

—Frost Death's Wrath!

Lin Xiaowei said proudly, "My teacher is a Legendary Mage proficient in all eight schools of magic, specializing in evocation, protection, and necromancy. He broke down and fused certain low-level spell techniques, improving them into this powerful offensive spell that can be learned during the Mage Apprentice stage."

"The damage is secondary. Its greatest strength lies in the ever-changing forms its effects can take. You'll understand once you've finished analyzing it."

Li Yao rubbed his brow in pain.

After receiving the information, he already understood the effects of Frost Death's Wrath.

Once the caster completed the Spell Circuit, they guided Frost Element and Necromantic Power together, refining them into magical power. The spell's duration depended on the caster's concentration.

While the spell was active, the caster could shape that magical power according to their will, releasing it as rays, mist, or even freezing wind.

Any target affected by this magical power would be eroded simultaneously by frost and necromantic energy.

In terms of offensive effectiveness, it was indeed formidable! It made up for Mage Apprentices' lack of attacking methods.

That Legendary Mage truly was remarkable, so Li Yao sincerely praised him. "That's freaking awesome!"

Lin Xiaowei said, "Hahahahaha, my teacher also created an even more badass spell called Soul Burning Wind. You can learn it once you advance to Formal Mage. Want to learn it? Hahaha, come on, call me Daddy, and I'll teach you~~"

Li Yao fell into thought. "Isn't that just Ice and Fire Double Heaven???"

An expert indeed!

Lin Xiaowei: "..."

Negative emotions from Lin Xiaowei +666...

Lin Xiaowei said, "That dog brain of yours really does have bizarre circuits. But Daddy doesn't want to talk to a dog anymore. I'm rolling my eyes at you and preparing to log off!"

Li Yao chuckled. After all, she was his daddy, so he had to indulge her little temper. "Last time must have put quite a burden on you, right?"

Lin Xiaowei said, "It's fine. I've recovered completely, and there are no lingering issues."

Li Yao said, "That's good."

Lin Xiaowei said, "Mm, definitely!"

Even through the screen, Li Yao could feel Lin Xiaowei's resolve. Those few simple words carried such weight that even his phone seemed to have become heavier.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Li Yao ended the chat and prepared to analyze the spell he had just obtained.

That same day, in their hometown county.

After Xiaoxi returned to school, Uncle Lin brought his wife to the county's best top-tier hospital—the Central Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine—for an examination. They had money now, so they took the VIP route and could get the results that very day.

Even so, they waited nearly the entire day. Throughout it all, Uncle Lin was restless and agitated.

His reason told him that this was a terminal illness, not child's play. Whatever Li Yao had given them couldn't possibly work.

But emotionally, he desperately hoped for a miracle!

Finally, the attending specialist received Aunt Lin's test report and invited them into the consultation room. "The results this time are extremely encouraging. The indicators shown on the electromyogram and the nerve conduction velocity tests both suggest that your wife's condition is improving..."

"The pace of improvement is even somewhat beyond normal expectations. It's truly incredible. Have you... undergone any special treatment recently?"

Conventional treatment methods couldn't possibly achieve this kind of result! The specialist stared intensely at the Lin couple. If they found a treatment that could conquer ALS, how many people would benefit from it?

And he...

Would become a pioneer in this field and leave his name in history!

However, Lin Chengdong did not answer the specialist's question.

When he learned that his wife's condition had begun improving, it was as though he had been struck by lightning. His mind was a chaotic mess, yet also completely blank!

The specialist asked in confusion, "Mr. Lin? Mr. Lin? Mrs. Lin, what's wrong with your husband?"

Aunt Lin's eyes had also reddened. She wiped the corners of her eyes and let out a long breath. "Maybe he's just happy."

"Ha!"

The moment Aunt Lin finished speaking, Uncle Lin slammed the table and shot to his feet. Like a husky, he paced around the room before slapping the table again, unable to contain himself. "Ha!"

"It's better! Hahahahaha, it's better! So what if it's ALS? Hahahahaha, it's fine now!"

Uncle Lin looked as though he had gone mad, and the specialist was somewhat worried.

Many family members of patients endured tremendous psychological pressure. Violent emotional swings could easily leave lasting psychological scars.

Seeing this, Aunt Lin stood up and went to Lin Chengdong's side. She gently took his hand and said soothingly, "Old Lin, it's all better now. It's all better... Let's go home, okay?"

His wife's gentle reassurance gradually calmed Lin Chengdong down. After the wild joy, he only felt utterly drained. He took several deep breaths as overwhelming exhaustion spread through him.

He thanked the specialist, "Thank you, thank you so much!"

The specialist waved his hand. "I didn't do anything. Did you undergo any treatment during this period? I'm truly curious."

Well, it was more than curiosity.

He even felt a little desperate to know!

Lin Chengdong exchanged a glance with his wife. Both of them thought of the mysterious medicine Li Yao had brought.

Thinking back on Li Yao's certain and confident attitude, they realized this matter was far from ordinary. So Lin Chengdong shook his head and said, "It's a terminal illness... We had already given up hope. We only wanted to live out our remaining days well, so we didn't do anything recently. We just enjoyed ourselves. Then my wife said she'd recently felt her condition improving, so we came for a checkup. We never expected it... It actually really improved!"

The specialist asked, "Really?"

The Lin couple said, "Really."

All right.

Since the patients did not want to say anything, the specialist could not force them. There really were many patients who, after falling ill, let go mentally and began eating, drinking, and enjoying life. After some time, their conditions unexpectedly started to improve... All he could say was that the human body was truly marvelous.

As medical professionals, they had indeed witnessed all kinds of unbelievable events over the years.

After saying goodbye to the specialist, Aunt Lin said on the way back, "We need to thank Da Yao."

Lin Chengdong happily slapped the steering wheel. "Right, right, we need to thank him properly! Hahahahaha~"

Aunt Lin rolled her eyes at Old Lin. "I'll thank him. You'll apologize."

Uncle Lin's face immediately fell. "..."

Do I not have any pride? I'm his uncle!

At worst, I'll let Xiaoxi go traveling with Da Yao during the National Day holiday. I'm practically handing my fresh, tender cabbage over for that brat to root around in. That's generous enough, isn't it? But Aunt Lin would not let it go. "Old Lin, Da Yao saved my life."

Uncle Lin fell silent for two seconds before saying stiffly, "Fine."

At the Central Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in the specialist consultation room, the specialist who had completed the Lin couple's report was organizing a backup copy of Aunt Lin's medical records. A case of improving ALS had considerable research value. They might even need the patient and her family to cooperate later.

Just then, a woman carrying an exquisite food box walked in.

The woman wore a long dress. Her figure was stunning, her face adorable, her wrists pale, her neck pale, her pupils black, and her hair black.

But her gaze was cold.

She looked at the medical report in the specialist's hands and asked, "A test report for an ALS patient?"

The specialist answered instinctively, "Yes."

"Improving?"

"Yes."

"Name?"

"The patient is He Yufen. Her family member is Lin Chengdong."

"Thank you." After asking, the woman turned and left the consultation room. Only after she had gone did the specialist suddenly let out a breath and collapse into his chair like a dried-out salted fish—he had been completely overwhelmed by that woman's presence just now!!

Who... was she???

Terrifying.

Let me mention something. I originally thought the recommendation would come next week, and that I would only get featured the week after that. But I received the recommendation notice directly through the backend... The recommendation goes live on September 30. Everyone, I'm a little nervous. It caught me completely off guard. This book is still very new, and I don't have much confidence.

You could say that a book has two most important moments.

One is the trial recommendation, and the other is the day it goes premium.

The former determines whether the editor will value me and let me go through the normal recommendation process before premium release. The latter determines this book's profitability and whether it can get major front-page recommendations, limited free promotions, and other spots.

Now, I've reached this most crucial moment.

So far, this book has attracted over a thousand readers. I don't know how many are stockpiling chapters, or how many put it on their shelves and never read it... But I love this book. I love its story and its characters. If you like it too, if you've read this far, then please lend me some strength so I can go farther, and farther still.

I, Xu Timo, would be immensely grateful!
