Chapter 514: The Bizarre Symptoms, I Will Cure You
In Baiyun City, the Teleportation Array's aura flickered, and the next moment, Jiang Chen leapt out of that light, vanishing instantly into the bustling streets.
The two guards protecting the Teleportation Array simultaneously showed astonishment, exchanging a glance with each other.
"Did someone just pass by?"
"Probably, but I didn't see clearly."
"I didn't see clearly either; could it have been a Ghost?"
"Not likely; the Teleportation Array clearly lit up, so a strongman must have passed, but he was too fast for us to see clearly."
"Shall we report to the City Lord?"
"Forget it, let's just pretend nothing happened."
After discussing, the two decided to act as if they hadn't seen anything.
They couldn't handle such matters, so pretending not to know was best.
Jiang Chen raced back from Heavenly Mountain at top speed, making several Teleportation Array hops, and within just a few minutes returned to Baiyun City.
He then hurried straight to Yue Dapeng's home.
At night, Baiyun City was tranquil, a stark contrast to the bustling Shenlong City.
Yue Dapeng's house was brightly lit.
Jiang Chen could sense the aura of the Healing Technique.
Only prolonged, continuous use of the Healing Technique leaves such a strong aura.
In this not‑spacious room, there were three people.
One lay on the bed, his breath extremely weak—it was Yue Dapeng.
The other two were Yue Dapeng's parents.
Yue Dapeng's parents were ordinary civilian workers with stable jobs.
Although their income wasn't high, they managed to get by.
Originally, Yue Dapeng had become a blood‑red Knight, and his family's life should have improved, becoming ever better.
But now everything had changed.
Jiang Chen gently knocked on the door.
The door opened slowly, a face
of a worried middle‑aged woman appeared at the entrance.
"Kid, who are you looking for?" The middle‑aged woman didn't recognize Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen replied politely, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Yue Dapeng's high‑school classmate; I heard he had an incident, so I came to see him."
Upon hearing he was Yue Dapeng's classmate, the middle‑aged woman hurriedly invited Jiang Chen in, "So it's classmate Zhuangzhuang, please come in."
It turned out Yue Dapeng's childhood name was Zhuangzhuang; his usually lively and active nature earned him such a cute nickname.
Jiang Chen found it amusing and planned to tease Yue Dapeng with it after his recovery.
Entering the house, Jiang Chen saw Yue Dapeng's father.
Yue Dapeng's father bore a resemblance to his son; since Yue Dapeng's accident, both have led very difficult lives.
Yue Dapeng's father looked far older than his actual age, his hair already turning gray.
Jiang Chen followed Yue Dapeng's father to Yue Dapeng's room.
The door was gently pushed open, and Jiang Chen saw Yue Dapeng lying on the bed.
Yue Dapeng's eyes were half‑open, staring at the ceiling, with no spark of life in them.
His legs were severed at the knees, and his arms had withered to mere skin and bone, a horrifying sight.
His aura was so weak it was almost imperceptible, as if he could depart this world at any moment.
Hearing the door open, Yue Dapeng gave no response.
Only when Jiang Chen reached the bedside did a glimmer flash in Yue Dapeng's eyes; he whispered in an extremely faint voice, "Why did you come?"
Seeing Yue Dapeng's current state, Jiang Chen felt a pang of sorrow.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Chen knew Yue Dapeng must have a way to contact him.
Whether through Bai
yun No. 4 Middle School's principal, or through the City Lord of Baiyun City, or even sending someone directly to Shenlong City to find me, there would always be a way.
Even if they truly couldn't find me, they could contact me through Lu Qingyu.
Yue Dapeng gave a bitter smile, "It's useless; I'm already a wreck."
Jiang Chen let out a light hum, "How do you know it's useless? I haven't seen your condition yet."
Yue Dapeng shook his head, "They've already seen me; the best Healers in Baiyun City have come, and they say even a Divine-level Healer might not be effective."
Jiang Chen sneered, "Divine-level Healer? That's nothing; I've killed more than one Divine-level Strongman."
"What did they say about your injuries? Poisoning or something else?" Jiang Chen asked further.
Yue Dapeng shook his head again, "I don't know; they can't determine it."
It is precisely this unknown that proves most troublesome.
Baiyun University, as a top‑ranked institution, is not lacking in Healers and pharmacists.
However, they are also at a loss.
Some even assert that even if a Divine-level Healer intervenes, the situation may not be salvaged.
These words plunged Yue Dapeng into utter despair.
Yue Dapeng recounted the circumstances to Jiang Chen.
They were exploring an unknown Secret Realm when an accident suddenly struck Yue Dapeng's companion.
As a Knight, Yue Dapeng did not hesitate to step forward, attempting to lend aid.
But the regret is that, while he succeeded in rescuing his companion, he himself fell into danger.
"I remember, at that time I tried to pull him out of the dangerous area, but suddenly I lost my balance and fell into that unknown region."
"It was a deep...
... bottomless Cave, I only felt my body constantly sinking, yet I couldn't break free."
"When my teammates finally pulled me up, my legs were already gone."
"Strangely, my wound didn't bleed; instead it healed rapidly."
Yue Dapeng's voice grew increasingly faint.
During this brief narration, Jiang Chen keenly sensed Yue Dapeng's life force rapidly draining.
"Are you sure this isn't caused by poisoning?" Jiang Chen asked.
Yue Dapeng shook his head, "I've taken antidotes, but they had no effect. The school's pharmacist also performed a toxicity test on me, and the results showed I wasn't poisoned."
Jiang Chen continued to press, "Did you feel anything abnormal at the time?"
Yue Dapeng shook his head again, "No, I felt no pain or discomfort at all. Even now, I feel nothing."
Jiang Chen employed Spiritual Power to carefully examine Yue Dapeng's condition, but found no abnormalities.
"Let's try this first," Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then took out the venomous Jiao's spinal cord he had obtained earlier.
He unscrewed the bottle cap, and a fresh fragrance instantly spread.
"Drink it!" Jiang Chen ordered.
Yue Dapeng trusted Jiang Chen completely; he asked nothing else and drank it without hesitation.
After swallowing, Yue Dapeng's face gradually regained its color.
Jiang Chen could clearly feel Yue Dapeng's life force rapidly recovering...
Soon after, Yue Dapeng's life force had returned to its peak state.
The venomous Jiao's spinal cord not only possessed miraculous detoxifying effects, but also contained astonishing life force.
Moreover, after drinking, Yue Dapeng's resistance to toxic elements
seemed to have a slight increase.
However, just as Yue Dapeng's life force surged to its apex, it suddenly plummeted.
It was like falling from a Mountain peak into a valley, the life force vanishing instantly.
Jiang Chen furrowed his brow, "It seems the spinal cord's effect isn't as remarkable as I imagined."
Yue Dapeng, already accustomed to these fluctuations, said calmly, "I've tried many ways to boost my life force, but each time it's the same—futile."
Deep despair flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Chen said firmly, "Don't give up; I'll take you to find a cure."
Yue Dapeng shook his head, "Don't trouble yourself any more; it's truly useless. I'm already grateful you came to see me; I don't want you to waste more time and effort on me."
The body's pain and torment had turned this once vibrant young man into such despondency, and Jiang Chen felt a pang of sorrow.
"Don't say such discouraging words; listen to me," Jiang Chen, seeing the wheelchair by the bedside, helped Yue Dapeng up and gently placed him in it.
He pushed Yue Dapeng out of the room, "Uncle and aunt, I'm taking Yue Dapeng for treatment."
Yue Dapeng's parents were stunned by Jiang Chen's words; this suddenly appearing young man claimed he would take Yue Dapeng for treatment.
"Child, do you really have a way? We've already consulted many people, but nothing worked."
"Yes, child, it's not that we distrust you; it's just that Yue Dapeng's injuries are too severe, and ordinary doctors and healers are powerless."
Although Yue Dapeng's parents harbored doubts, seeing the steadfast light in Jiang Chen's eyes, they chose to trust him.
Jiang Chen said, "Please rest assured, I
the person I find will definitely be able to cure Yue Dapeng."
Yue Dapeng whispered to his parents, "Mom, dad, trust Jiang Chen."
"Then I'll prepare some things for Dapeng," Yue Dapeng's mother said as she was about to get up.
Jiang Chen stopped her, "No need to trouble anyone; there's nothing lacking over there. We'll set out now, cure Yue Dapeng as soon as possible, and let him recover quickly."
After speaking, Jiang Chen felt a stir in his heart, and a gust of air gently pushed the door open.
He spread his mysterious wings behind him, lifted the wheelchair slowly, and said, "We're leaving."
In the shocked gaze of Yue Dapeng's parents, Jiang Chen rose into the air with Yue Dapeng, disappearing into the night sky.
The two stood dumbfounded, "That child can actually fly!"
"Being able to fly, at least he's a top-tier professional,"
"How does Yue Dapeng have such an outstanding classmate?"
"Wait, what did you just call Yue Dapeng?"
"Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen... Jiang Chen!"
Both widened their eyes simultaneously, shocked to the point of being almost speechless.
Now, who could still not know Jiang Chen's great name?
"It's Divine General, it's Divine General!" Yue Dapeng's father said, his voice trembling, almost unable to control his emotions.
"That's wonderful, our Dapeng is saved!" Yue Dapeng's mother exclaimed, her face showing joy.
"That's wonderful, our Dapeng is saved!"
She repeated the sentence over and over, tears streaming from her eyes, sliding down her cheeks.
