Seeing this, the security guards immediately moved to charge forward and pull Xu Ke down.

"Uncle Wu, hold them back for me," Xu Ke said without looking back.

As his words fell, Wang Wu's eyes sharpened and he turned around.

Wang Qiya said frantically, "Uncle Wu, are you going to go crazy with him? He's a fitness coach, not a doctor!"

Wang Wu shook his head. "I trust Mister Xu."

He knew now that Xu Ke was full of secrets. He wasn't sure if Xu Ke knew any medical arts, but he was certain of one thing about the young man: he never did anything he wasn't confident about.

Besides…

In his heart, this child was already dead. What harm was there in letting Mister Xu give it a try? Could it be that their Wang Family lacked the courage to save a person already declared dead and bear the consequences?

Wang Qiya was stunned.

The security guards had already charged.

"Pull that troublemaker down!"

"Causing trouble at the hospital entrance? Are you looking for death?!"

The crowd of onlookers grew even more agitated. "Don't let him touch that child's body!"

"Save him!"

The guards charged forward, but Wang Wu intercepted them with a flurry of punches and kicks. His blows were swift and powerful, and a swath of guards fell in an instant.

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

What is the background of this young troublemaker and the old man? How could so many burly men be stopped by a single elder?

Seeing this, the middle-aged doctor's face turned ashen. "This is assault! In a hospital!"

Wang Wu turned his head and stared at him, his gaze piercing. "I suggest you watch your words."

His gaze was sharp. The middle-aged doctor flinched at Wang Wu's imposing aura. Not daring to face Wang Wu, he turned to look at Xu Ke…

But when he turned, he froze.

He saw Qin Ya staring at Xu Ke, her expression one of utter disbelief.

At this moment, Xu Ke was drenched in sweat, his face pale. Silver Needles danced in his hands. His movements seemed slow, yet they were imbued with the grace of a grandmaster, a truly breathtaking sight.

The middle-aged doctor was instantly captivated. Then, he began to tremble, overwhelmed with an excitement that bordered on disbelief.

This acupuncture technique... Could it be the work of a Sage Healer?! Am I actually fortunate enough to witness a Sage Healer in Tianhai? I've heard that Divine Doctors who reach the level of Sage Healer have medical skills that can defy the heavens and alter fate... Does that mean this child can be saved?!

And in the next moment, the middle-aged doctor discovered something that made his heart leap into his throat…

Xiao Jie moved!

Xu Ke hadn't noticed the excitement of Qin Ya and the middle-aged doctor; he was focused solely on administering the needles with grave concentration.

He was using one needle from the life-defying technique he had used to save a little girl three years ago. That technique consisted of three needles: the Immobilizing Needle, the Spirit Calming Needle, and the Soul Stabilizing Needle. When used together, the three needles could seize vitality from heaven and earth itself, but they came at the price of a backlash from the principles of medicine.

Faced with Xiao Jie's situation, however, Xu Ke only needed one of them.

Xiao Jie's life force was fading and his breath was gone, but his soul had not yet dispersed. A single Immobilizing Needle was all that was required to save him.

Of course, if he had been a moment later, Xu Ke wasn't sure what might have happened.

Though it was called the Immobilizing Needle, the technique itself was incredibly complex and far from a simple matter. That was why Xu Ke couldn't complete it in a single moment.

Watching Xu Ke work made the middle-aged doctor feel as if he couldn't breathe.

Just how heaven-defying is this technique... to require so many needles?

Just then, Wang Qiya rushed over anxiously.

Seeing that Xu Ke had been up there for so long without reviving Xiao Jie, and that he hadn't come down himself, Wang Qiya grew terrified.

Could it be that Xu Ke doesn't actually know how to save him and is just putting on a show? If he pokes holes in Xiao Jie's body...

She didn't dare to complete the thought. Her sister was already facing two major enemies in the Huang and Ye Families. If they provoked the Qin Family now, it would be a true disaster.

"Xu Ke, don't mess around—"

Wang Qiya began to scold, but the middle-aged doctor shot her a furious glare. "Silence! Do not disturb the Sage Healer while he is working."

Wang Qiya was taken aback. "What?"

The middle-aged doctor glared at her again, then raised a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture.

Wang Qiya's eyes went wide.

Weren't you the one who just said Xu Ke wasn't a doctor? How can you call him a Sage Healer now? Are you crazy?

She turned her head to look at Xu Ke.

But when the image of a focused and composed Xu Ke, his hands moving through the fluid and graceful acupuncture technique, entered her view, Wang Qiya's mouth fell open.

Xu Ke... knows medical arts?!

Seeing that no more guards were coming, Wang Wu hurried over. "How is it?"

Before Wang Qiya could speak, the middle-aged doctor turned his head again and glared. "Be quiet!"

Wang Wu looked completely bewildered.

What's wrong with this guy?

Just then, a sharp cry pierced the air.

"Fall!"

The final needle of the Immobilizing Needle technique, infused with his True Qi, shot directly toward Xiao Jie's brow with a fierce gust of wind.

Everyone was stunned.

He isn't trying to kill the boy, is he?

But in the next moment!

The previously comatose Xiao Jie suddenly sputtered, spitting out a mouthful of dark blood as the Silver Needle landed.

"He's awake?!" the middle-aged doctor exclaimed, his mouth agape.

Wang Qiya and Wang Wu's eyes widened in shock.

The bystanders were completely dumbfounded.

After being declared dead, the child had actually been brought back to life by this young man?

A Divine Doctor!

"Someone!" Xu Ke turned and shouted. Xiao Jie needed to be moved to a hospital room for proper treatment now.

At his words, the middle-aged doctor immediately turned and frantically shouted, "Get over here! Quickly!"

Staffers with a stretcher hurried over and carefully placed Xiao Jie onto it.

Tears streamed down Qin Ya's face as she kowtowed again and again in her excitement. "Thank you, thank you, doctor!" Her voice trembled with profound gratitude.

"There's no need," Xu Ke said, quickly helping her up. "Go and see your son."

As he helped her, Xu Ke realized her body had gone completely limp. When Xiao Jie was declared dead, the shock must have drained all the strength from her. On top of that, she had been hit by a truck herself. If not for the love for her son keeping her conscious, she would have collapsed long ago.

"Okay!" Qin Ya snapped out of her daze and rushed after the medical staff into the hospital.

"Mister Xu, you truly hide your skills well," Wang Wu remarked with deep emotion.

"You flatter me, Uncle Wu," Xu Ke said with a smile, though his face was pale.

An Innate at the stage of Great Perfection could consecutively use the Immobilizing Needle, the Spirit Calming Needle, and the Soul Stabilizing Needle, snatching a life back from heaven and earth. But now, at only the Innate Middle Stage, performing just the Immobilizing Needle technique was as draining as being pulled from the water; his entire body was soaked in sweat.

"What else can you do?" Wang Qiya asked, still reeling from the shock. She was utterly astounded by Xu Ke.

The stories about him being kidnapped, faking his death, and fighting an Innate-level expert from the Huang Family had all felt distant and unreal to her. But now, she had just witnessed him bring a boy who had been declared dead back from the brink of death with her own eyes. The shock was indescribable.

"This is about all I can do," Xu Ke said with a light smile.

Wang Qiya was about to say she didn't believe him, but at that moment, a trembling voice caught their attention.

"Sage… Sage Healer, I beg for your guidance!"

The three of them turned, taken aback, and saw the middle-aged doctor looking at Xu Ke with feverish excitement.

And in the next second, they were all shocked.

THUD.

The middle-aged doctor dropped directly to his knees...
