If He Can Heal the Wounded, I'll Eat the Carriage

That face, paired with faint golden hair and crimson-gold eyes that gleamed beneath the sunlight, was enough to captivate countless young men.

"You're here."

Princess Vina swallowed her tea and looked at the approaching Su Mu with a faint smile.

"Come aboard. If we leave now, we should reach the place before sunset."

As she spoke, Princess Vina pulled Su Mu onto the carriage.

Su Mu could not help but freeze. "You said it would take a whole day to get there?"

That was nearly ten times the distance from Free-Range Chicken Village to Heaven Dou City.

Princess Vina explained somewhat helplessly, "According to regulations, military camps cannot be established within fifty kilometers of the imperial capital. This is already the closest camp to Heaven Dou City."

"Don't worry. I'll compensate you for the money you're unable to earn from business these next two days."

"Besides, this time you're doing something for the Heaven Dou Empire. Both my father and I will reward you."

"Rest assured, you definitely won't suffer a loss."

As Princess Vina spoke, she pulled Su Mu, who had been wandering around outside, into the carriage.

The carriage raced all the way out of Heaven Dou City at incredible speed.

Following the road, the carriage gradually charged toward a desolate forest devoid of human habitation.

Not long after entering the forest, a squad of heavily armored cavalry appeared on both sides of the road to escort Princess Vina.

The convoy stopped three times along the way, resting for roughly half an hour each time.

That was only to let the Ten-Year Soul Beast pulling the carriage rest. If they had taken a Soul Guidance Car, they could have traveled even faster.

Inside the carriage, Princess Vina watched Su Mu sitting cross-legged.

His Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul bloomed around him, gradually absorbing the scattered Soul Power between heaven and earth.

Princess Vina studied him curiously. After observing him carefully, she discovered that Su Mu's Martial Soul truly was ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

"You're amazing. An ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul actually let you cultivate to this level."

Princess Vina sensed that Su Mu possessed as much as level seventeen Soul Power.

Ordinarily, if a six-year-old child awakened their Martial Soul with fourteen levels of Soul Power, they would already be a genius among geniuses.

Yet the person before her possessed seventeen levels of Soul Power.

Princess Vina could not help asking, "Why is your Soul Power cultivation speed so fast?"

An ordinary six-year-old child could not possibly reach level seventeen Soul Power before turning seven.

Some people even remained below level twenty for their entire lives.

Su Mu circulated the Soul Power of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, transforming it into pure life force to nourish his bloodline.

"Perhaps it's because my Martial Soul was born with the power of the Life Attribute. Blue Silver Grass itself possesses immense vitality."

"On top of that, the life energy provided by my Martial Soul gave me a sufficiently deep physical foundation since childhood. You could say it was the result of long accumulation finally bearing fruit."

"After all, I have Innate Full Soul Power. Abundant life force can also give a Life Attribute Martial Soul a deeper foundation."

As Su Mu spoke, the carriage came to a stop.

After sitting in the carriage for an entire day, even with the soft sofa seats, the journey had still been bumpy.

Stretching lazily, Su Mu looked at the military camp built within a border valley beneath the setting sun.

A group of armored soldiers stood waiting quietly there.

Among them were two familiar faces: General Zheng and General Wang, who had accompanied Princess Vina to his stall for fried chicken yesterday.

"Your subordinates greet Princess Vina."

As Princess Vina stepped down from the carriage, the surrounding commanders all knelt in salute.

As the emperor's first daughter, Princess Vina often participated in war exercises and had been exposed to soldiers since childhood, so she held great prestige in the military.

Generally speaking, her standing was on par with that of the commanding generals.

"Rise. It is not easy to kneel while wearing armor."

"Today, I have invited a Soul Master highly skilled in physical healing to explain some knowledge related to treatment."

"General Zheng, have the military doctors from the other camps that I asked you to prepare arrived?"

Princess Vina had made arrangements for this matter long ago.

When General Wang nodded, a group of middle-aged and even elderly soldiers in light armor slowly emerged from a formation. There were more than four hundred of them, neither more nor less.

They basically included the Soul Masters responsible for medical logistics from every Star Luo Empire army.

An old man in his sixties or seventies saw Princess Vina arrive and immediately stepped forward, clasping his hands as he asked.

He even peered behind Princess Vina and said, "Greetings, Your Highness. I am the supervisor of the First Logistics Battalion of the Northern Western Army. May I ask where the master physician Princess Vina invited for us is?"

"I would like to pay my respects."

As the old man spoke, he carefully examined the area behind Princess Vina.

But apart from the six-year-old child beside Vina, everyone around was armored. None of them looked like a doctor.

He then looked toward the three carriages behind them. They were already empty, and the horses had been taken into the camp to be fed grass.

"Since everyone is here, let me introduce him. This is the doctor I prepared for you all, someone who understands some basic theories of treatment. He will be teaching you this time." As Princess Vina spoke, she stepped aside and revealed Su Mu to the crowd.

Su Mu's appearance caused an uproar among those present.

"How is that possible? He's just a child!"

"Has Princess Vina been deceived?"

"Princess Vina, forgive this old man for speaking frankly, but he is only a six-year-old child. Even if he is a healing-type Soul Master, how could he possibly treat injuries?"

"I don't believe it! If he can heal people, I'll eat this carriage!"

The crowd erupted into commotion, with everyone questioning Su Mu.

"Since none of you believe it, then let practice reveal the truth."

Su Mu said, "Are there any injured patients in the camp lately whose wounds have festered and become ulcerated?"

Everyone looked at one another.

Afterward, General Wang, the camp's deputy commander, stepped forward and clasped his hands.

"Some time ago, a squad in the camp was sent to eliminate Evil Soul Masters in the nearby mountains. They suffered some injuries. There are indeed such cases."

"But they are already close to amputation. The flesh has rotted down to the bone, and the healing-type Soul Masters are helpless."

As General Wang spoke, his voice inevitably grew heavy.

At such a stage of injury, only a healing-type Soul Master with extremely high Soul Power—above level sixty—could be of use.

But how could a Soul Master above level sixty, perhaps even a healing-type Soul Master capable of using a Martial Soul Avatar, possibly come suffer in a military camp for that little money?

Especially while risking assassination by enemy forces.

Healing-type Soul Masters were prized everywhere and pampered by royalty and nobles. They would never come to a rundown military camp.

"Good. As long as there are some, take me there. I'll treat them personally and let you see whether I can heal them or not."
