Chapter 448 Pseudo Five Realms
At first, Cody had no clue how Larry was healing himself.
But being a tough fighter and a doctor, he started to piece it together.
Healing was just a front; the real aim was to open up special meridians in the body.
Larry was using him, sticking silver needles into his meridians and acupoints. The needles were protecting his heart.
No matter what his body went through, he wouldn't die.
And given the state his body was in, it couldn't get much worse.
Moreover, as soon as Qi entered Larry's body, it quickly gathered together.
This was the effect of the silver needle arrangement.
The Qi in Larry's body formed a vortex.
Cody found it hard to control his own Qi, which was rapidly being absorbed and gathered into this Qi vortex, impacting Larry's meridians and acupoints.
Larry's body couldn't withstand this Qi impact.
But since he was already injured, it just made his injuries worse.
Cody saw what was happening and didn't stop; instead, he increased the force.
He wanted to see if Larry's desperate method could really open up all his meridians. If it worked, Larry's Qi would flow continuously, and he would quickly become much stronger.
He could reach the fifth level in no time, maybe even higher.
As the Qi increased, the silver needles on Larry's body started to struggle against the force, showing signs of being pushed out.
Larry quickly instructed, "Paisley, keep an eye on the needles. If any get pushed out, put them back immediately, or the Qi will leak, and I'll die instantly."
Paisley nodded, keeping a close watch on the silver needles on Larry's body, ready to replace any that were about to be dislodged.
A powerful Qi was visibly flowing on Larry's surface.
Larry was enduring immense pain.
Even though he was a battle-hardened warrior, the pain from the Qi impacting his special meridians was almost unbearable.
He screamed in agony.
Cody knew he couldn't stop now.
If he did, the Qi he had infused into Larry would disperse instantly, possibly exploding inside Larry.
Larry would die instantly.
The powerful Qi was breaking through Larry's unopened special meridians.
The silver needles couldn't hold on any longer and started to shoot out.
Paisley was ready with a handful of silver needles, quickly replacing the ones that were dislodged.
But the force from the acupoints was so strong that it made her arms go numb.
After replacing a few needles, her hands were injured by Cody's Qi.
"Break through!"
Cody shouted, using all his strength.
All his Qi surged into Larry's body.
Boom!
It sounded like an explosion inside Larry.
Cody was thrown back.
All the silver needles on Larry's body were instantly ejected.
Paisley dodged just in time.
But she was still slightly injured by the flying needles.
Larry collapsed onto the bed.
Cody, drenched in sweat, wiped his face and looked at the unconscious Larry with a satisfied smile. "This kid has guts, coming up with such a method."
"Grandpa, how is he?"
Paisley, ignoring her own injuries, looked at the blood-covered Larry and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, how is he?"
Cody stroked his white beard and smiled, "He did it. Theoretically, he's now at the fifth level."
"Really?" Paisley was shocked. "Does that mean we can continuously create fifth-level masters?"
Cody, looking weak, shook his head. "It's not that easy. Larry's meridians were already damaged, and he was on the brink of death. He used silver needles to protect his heart and took a huge risk. Anyone else wouldn't be able to endure the pain. Plus, to break through all the meridians, you need Qi above the fifth level. This Qi infusion would instantly rupture all the meridians. Ordinary martial artists wouldn't dare to try."
Paisley glanced at the unconscious Larry, feeling a bit scared. "He really is brave. But now that his meridians are open, can he survive?"
Cody looked serious. "Normally, he wouldn't survive. But he has many secrets. He might have a way to save himself."
Hearing this, Paisley felt relieved.
"You take care of him. I've used up too much Qi and need to rest."
"Yes."
Paisley nodded.
Cody didn't say more and left.
Paisley looked at Larry, then fetched warm water and a towel to clean the blood off his body.
Before she finished, Larry woke up.
He was very weak, unable to even sit up, but he had a smug smile on his face.
"Larry, you're still smiling. Do you know how dangerous that was?"
"What's the danger?" Larry weakly smiled. "My body was already in bad shape. No matter what, it couldn't kill me. Plus, I protected my heart. Even if I failed, I wouldn't die. Luckily, it worked."
"Yes." Paisley nodded. "Grandpa said your meridians are now open. Theoretically, you're at the fifth level. The only difference between you and a fifth-level master is the amount of Qi. But now that your meridians are open, your Qi will increase rapidly, and you'll soon reach the fifth level."
"Enough, stop talking. I can't hold on any longer. Quickly, use the needles. If you don't, I'll die soon."
Larry knew his body well. Without using the Against Heaven 81 Needles to heal, he wouldn't make it through the day.
"Okay." She nodded, reaching for the steel wire on Larry's arm.
But she couldn't remove it.
Larry moved his arm slightly, and the wire loosened, instantly turning into eighty-one needles.
"What is this? It doesn't seem to listen to me."
"Don't ask, just start. In your current state, you can only use two needles. Start with the heart."
"Yes." Paisley picked up a needle.
Infusing it with Qi, she directly pierced Larry's heart.
As the needle entered, a stream of Qi flowed through Larry's body, healing him.
"Top of the head."
Paisley followed his instructions.
After using two needles, her Qi was drained again. She sat weakly on a chair, pale. "I can't go on."
"Thanks. You should rest. I won't die for now, but you need to recover your Qi quickly to heal me, or I won't last long."
"Okay, I'll go out."
Paisley nodded and left.
