Little Huo Medical Clinic

Several days later, a small medical hall quietly opened in the South District market, where signboards stood like a forest in interlaced rows. It was called the "Little Huo Medical Clinic."

Xuanfeng City was a renowned economic hub of the Heaven Dou Empire, so naturally, there was no shortage of medical halls within the city.

As a result, competition in the local medical industry was fierce. To attract customers under such circumstances, one had to come up with some unusual tricks.

During this era, commerce on the Douluo Continent remained generally conservative. It had yet to witness the chaotic spectacle of the information age, where immortals seemed to line the streets in endless rows.

Thus, Huo Yuhao deliberately added an extra line of slogans to the signboard outside his clinic.

"Huo's Miraculous Hands, guaranteed cure for all ailments."

"Are you worried about headaches, chest tightness, heart palpitations, kidney deficiency, or weak legs?"

"Come to Huo's Miraculous Hands—one touch will solve all your troubles."

"Did your child awaken a Waste Martial Soul? Is their Soul Power low? Do others say they are useless? Doctor Huo tells you: everything will be fine!"

"Doctor Huo will personally counsel you and clarify the path ahead."

"All services cost only three Silver Soul Coins. Satisfaction guaranteed!"

It had to be said, the effect was quite good. Nearly everyone passing by was drawn in, their eyes held captive for several seconds by Huo Yuhao's slogans.

However, for the moment, no one dared casually step into an unfamiliar medical hall to seek treatment for illness or injury.

There was no such thing as a medical license on the Douluo Continent. As long as you thought you had the skills, you could take on the job.

All medical standards were based entirely on experience. There was no so-called medical association establishing unified standards.

Yet even so, the Douluo Continent still maintained an astonishingly high post-operation survival rate. Huo Yuhao had even personally witnessed an unsterilized craniotomy at a medical hall in Xuanfeng City some time ago—an utterly brutal feat.

This was entirely due to the power of extraordinary abilities like Martial Souls. To a Healing Soul Master—

"What bacterial infection? What difficult and complicated diseases? Take it all up with my healing Soul Skill."

Because of this, the vast majority of illnesses in this world could be properly treated.

As for why Huo Yuhao dared to open a medical hall, aside from the Reversal Technique, it was because in his previous life, as Planetary Engine Maintenance Personnel, he had often stayed alone in surface safehouses for months at a time.

If he fell ill under such circumstances without any medical knowledge, it could easily become life-threatening.

Therefore, during their training, Planetary Engine Maintenance Personnel were required to study medical knowledge seriously to ensure their safety.

Huo Yuhao sat listlessly behind the clinic counter, propping up his head with one hand as he watched the bustling crowd outside.

The medical hall was filled with the refreshing fragrance of medicinal herbs, all left behind by its previous owner.

This shop had once been a medical hall as well, but business had not been very good. The owner had heard that Shrek City was developing well, so he took his entire family there.

Before leaving, he took the Rare Herbs with him but left all the common medicinal ingredients to Huo Yuhao.

He had even kindly given Huo Yuhao some notebooks containing his medical insights, then departed with a caravan that very day.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to meditate to pass the time, a plainly dressed young woman hurried in, supporting a burly man.

The man was powerfully built, dark-skinned, and had strong arms. Veins spread up from his forearms like coiling dragons. One look was enough to tell that he was a skilled archer.

However, his left thigh had been pierced through by some sharp object, leaving behind a dark, bloody hole surrounded by rotten flesh dripping with yellow fluid.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao hurriedly guided the young woman to help the man lie flat on a bed in the back of the medical hall.

Tears streaming down her face, the young woman pleaded with Huo Yuhao, "Doctor, you have to save my husband! Please save his leg!"

Huo Yuhao asked, "Don't panic yet. Was this injury caused by a Soul Beast attack?"

Before the woman could answer, the man on the bed spoke through slightly trembling, pale lips.

"Doctor, I'm a hunter. This morning, while hunting outside the city, I was attacked by a ten-year Rotten Flesh Spider."

"The other medical halls all told me to cut off this leg to save my life."

After saying that, the man excitedly grabbed Huo Yuhao's sleeve, his voice shaking.

"D-Doctor, I... I can't lose this leg! I... I'm a hunter. I still have children and a mother to support, and there's a severe drought this year."

"If I lose my leg, this family will collapse."

Huo Yuhao gently reassured him and eased his sleeve from the man's grasp.

"Don't worry. I can treat it."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao told the young woman to wait in the reception room outside.

Huo Yuhao took out Anesthetic Powder from the medicine cabinet and anesthetized the man.

Covering his eyes with gauze, he said, "Relax. It'll be over soon."

Huo Yuhao drew the White Tiger Dagger and swiftly removed all the rotten flesh as easily as a hot knife through butter, while also obtaining a small sample of blood.

After sensing the information progress rise slightly, he began circulating the Reversal Technique.

Dense, strange blue runes appeared on Huo Yuhao's hands. They were the model circuits of the Reversal Technique formed from Soul Power, a prepared technique inscribed in advance.

He then began controlling the man's Spiritual Power, slowly reversing it to strengthen his physique and grant him self-healing ability.

However, it was obvious that the man's own Spiritual Power alone could not complete the regeneration. So Huo Yuhao injected his own high-quality Spiritual Power into the man's body and reversed it.

The flesh on the man's left leg began to writhe, as if it had developed a will of its own.

As it writhed, flesh buds emerged, then grew and connected—a scene that would make anyone's sanity plummet.

As time passed, new flesh, noticeably different in color from the surrounding skin, grew over the once-dark bloody hole.

Once the growth was complete, Huo Yuhao lightly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although Spiritual Power made up the bulk of the expenditure, maintaining the Reversal Technique required Soul Power. Even with the model circuits greatly reducing the consumption, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power reserves were simply too low.

After confirming there were no issues, Huo Yuhao removed the gauze from the man's eyes, helped him sit up, and had him confirm for himself that his leg had been fully treated.

Though he was temporarily unable to move, the excitement in his eyes was plain to see.

Huo Yuhao walked out of the room, and the young woman immediately sprang to her feet and grabbed his hand.

"Doctor, how is my husband?"

Huo Yuhao pointed behind him. "He's fine. Go see for yourself."

The young woman nearly dropped to her knees to kowtow in thanks, but Huo Yuhao quickly caught her.

"It is a healer's duty to cure illnesses and save lives. There's no need to kneel."

"Go see your husband."

With reddened eyes, the young woman entered the back room. Huo Yuhao returned to the counter, closed his eyes, and rested as he recovered his Soul Power.

Soon, the two emerged from the back room side by side.

The man hurriedly grasped Huo Yuhao's hand. "Miracle doctor! Thank you for saving my leg!"

"If not for you, the sky would have fallen on this family."

Huo Yuhao waved dismissively. "It was nothing. As written on the signboard, three Silver Soul Coins."

The man hurriedly thanked him, then had the young woman beside him take out three Silver Soul Coins and respectfully hand them to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao watched the two leave, knowing that his medical hall's reputation had now been established. Gathering genetic information would be much easier from here on.
