A Girl Seeking Medical Help

"Doctor, lately my lower back and knees have been aching, my limbs feel weak, and I've been dizzy and lightheaded."

"What do you think is wrong with me?"

Huo Yuhao examined the man's complexion, then took his hand to inspect the color of his palm and fingernails before confirming his symptoms.

"Kidney deficiency."

"Do less of that. Brew Cinnamon, Golden Sunflower, and Snake Fruit into tea every day. Drink three liters a day, and you should recover within a month."

"If your finances allow it, buy some Whale Rubber to eat. A small piece of Hundred-Year Whale Rubber will ensure you never suffer from kidney deficiency again."

The man smiled awkwardly. "Just give me some herbs for tea. Forget Hundred-Year Whale Rubber—even Ten-Year Whale Rubber is more than I can afford!"

Ever since he had healed the hunter's wound, everyone in Xuanfeng City's South District had learned that there was an exceptionally skilled doctor here. He could instantly heal even injuries left behind by venomous Soul Beasts like the Rotten Flesh Spider, without any aftereffects.

Combined with his reasonable prices and his Martial Soul consultation service, countless people flooded into Huo Yuhao's Medical Hall for treatment.

A considerable number of them were even Soul Masters. There was a Great Soul Arena beside the South District, and injuries were unavoidable in soul battles.

When they saw a Medical Hall nearby that could instantly heal their injuries without leaving any aftereffects, they immediately went wild.

Even when those Soul Masters were beaten half to death in the arena, they insisted on being sent to Huo Yuhao's Medical Hall.

Although the Battle Arena provided free medical treatment, its standards were mediocre, and serious injuries could easily leave hidden complications.

For Soul Masters, they would rather endure pain for a while longer than leave hidden dangers in their bodies.

They wanted to avoid affecting their own potential.

Huo Yuhao was more than happy to treat these injured Soul Masters.

These Soul Masters possessed Spiritual Power and Soul Power far beyond that of ordinary people. When he used the Reversal Technique to treat them, he barely needed to use any of his own Spiritual Power.

Moreover, the genetic information they provided was far more abundant than that of ordinary people. The progress of "special information" had been rising rapidly, and new information would soon be unlocked.

At the same time, during his research into the Reversal Technique, Huo Yuhao discovered that Soul Power itself could also be reversed.

However, reversed Soul Power was incredibly disordered. Its existence could only be forcibly maintained with a massive amount of Spiritual Power.

When reversed Soul Power touched a plant, the plant rapidly withered and decayed until it turned to ash.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao proceeded to experiment on animals and inorganic objects.

Ordinary animals visibly degenerated in the reversed Soul Power before withering and decaying into dust. Inorganic objects lasted longer, but they ultimately shattered as well.

Withering, deathly stillness, and degeneration were the characteristics of reversed Soul Power. After pondering for a long time, Huo Yuhao decided to name it "Entropy Power."

The disordered opposite of all ordered energy was Entropy Power.

Huo Yuhao also tried combining Soul Power with Entropy Power, but just as he was about to do so, an intense sense of dread made him stop.

It was as if some voice was telling him not to do it now.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao stopped the fusion experiment and decided to try again after becoming stronger in the future.

He then turned his attention to researching how Entropy Power could be properly used as a means of fighting enemies.

Xuanfeng City, West District.

In Xuanfeng City, the South District was where Soul Masters gathered, with numerous Battle Arenas and markets. The East District was filled with taverns and brothels, drenched in lavish excess every night. The North District was where power was concentrated, and the City Lord's Mansion was located there.

The West District was where commoners lived. Its roads were narrow, its houses haphazardly arranged, and sewage flowed everywhere. Compared to the other districts, it was like the difference between heaven and hell.

Inside a small house in the West District, a woman lay on a bed. Her face was pale, her lips completely bloodless, and her long golden hair dry and lusterless.

Judging from the furnishings inside, this family was even poorer than Huo Yuhao's family in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

The woman was now so weak that she could not even groan. Cold sweat covered her body, and her Life aura was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.

Not long afterward, the wooden door creaked open. Sunlight spilled in through the doorway, filling the room with light.

Then an anxious female voice suddenly rang out. "Mom!!!"

A breathtakingly beautiful girl with long, voluminous golden curls dropped the bag of bread she was carrying and hurried to the bedside, tightly gripping the woman's hand.

"Mom, how are you?"

Tears nearly spilled from the girl's eyes. Her mother had been fine when she left home. How had she suddenly become like this?

The woman's eyelids drooped as she struggled to raise an arm and stroke the girl's head. Weakly, she said, "Nannan, it's all right. It's an old problem."

"It'll get better in a little while."

Jiang Nannan did not believe her. The two of them had depended on each other for more than a decade, so she understood her mother's illness very well.

Her mother had been born with a heart condition. It would flare up from time to time, but it had never been as serious as it was today.

Jiang Nannan realized that her mother's illness had worsened again. Biting her lip, she looked at her mother through tear-filled eyes and said, "Mom, wait here. I'll find someone to treat you."

"I've saved up a little money through work-study at Shrek Academy. I'll definitely cure you."

After saying that, Jiang Nannan helped her mother out of bed and carried her toward the North District.

Although she was an Agility Attack System Soul Elder, she was afraid her mother would not be able to withstand high-speed movement, so she could only proceed carefully.

After arriving at a Medical Hall in the North District, she gently laid her mother onto a bed with the help of an apprentice.

This could be called the best Medical Hall in Xuanfeng City. It had existed in the city for several Hundred-Year, and the hall master's inherited Martial Soul was the Nine Green Vine.

It was a powerful healing-type Martial Soul, and the hall master himself had reached the rank of Soul Saint.

After covering her mother with a blanket, Jiang Nannan headed straight for the medicine room to find the hall master and ask him to treat her mother.

The Medical Hall's master was named Xu Wei. He was currently studying a prescription, and when he saw someone approach, he took off his glasses.

"You're Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Nannan was slightly stunned. Her eyes reddened as she looked at him. "You know me?"

Xu Wei chuckled and stroked his beard. "There are only so many people in Xuanfeng City who can enter Shrek Academy to study. Of course I remember you."

Jiang Nannan bit her lip, then gave Xu Wei a deep bow. "Hall Master, I wish to ask you to treat my mother."

"No matter the price, I'm willing to pay it!"

Seeing her like this, Xu Wei thought for a moment before rising and heading toward her mother's bed, prepared to personally treat her.

To him, Jiang Nannan's potential and future were worth lending a hand for. By forming a good connection now, he might gain an unexpected reward in the future.

When he reached the bed, Xu Wei immediately determined from his many years of medical experience that the problem lay with her heart.

But he would have to try before knowing the exact situation.

He summoned his Martial Soul. Two yellow, two purple, and three black Soul Rings—seven in total—appeared beneath his feet as a turquoise Green Light covered Jiang Nannan's mother's entire body.
