C7 Extraction of Medical Skills

Everyone was seething with anger.

Huang Zhongyu was utterly despicable.

Yet, they all seethed silently, too intimidated to confront him. No one dared to challenge Huang Zhongyu again.

As Huang Zhongyu gazed at Ye Chen's icy expression, he couldn't help but feel smug.

He relished seeing Ye Chen so frustrated, wanting to lash out but holding back.

Ye Chen scoffed, "Whether you admit it or not doesn't matter. Just stop calling yourself a man, because you're anything but deserving of the title."

"Your words are pointless. I will not concede," Huang Zhongyu retorted, shaking his head.

He was all too familiar with these tactics. How could he possibly fall for them?

Ye Chen shook his head again, his gaze briefly shifting to Su Xueqing.

"You're too scared to own up to your defeat, probably because you fear embarrassing yourself in front of Su Xueqing! But let me tell you, the most valuable trait a man can have is responsibility. If you can't handle this bit of disgrace, how can you aspire to be a man of integrity and strength?"

Huang Zhongyu's face grew darker by the second.

He was aware that Ye Chen was deliberately baiting him.

Ye Chen was cornering Huang Zhongyu.

Su Xueqing was the woman Huang Zhongyu had always admired.

He recalled her saying she wanted a partner who was responsible and trustworthy.

But if Huang Zhongyu acted this way now, he would surely be dismissed by Su Xueqing. Winning her affection in the future would be as formidable as scaling the heavens.

This was the last thing Huang Zhongyu wanted to happen.

Clenching his teeth, Huang Zhongyu conceded, "Ye Chen, you've won this round. But don't get too cocky!"

Then, he addressed him, "Father."

Ye Chen dismissed him with a wave of his hand, "I certainly don't have a disloyal son like you. Off you go!"

"We'll see about that."

Huang Zhongyu fled the classroom, unable to endure the cutting stares of his peers.

With his departure, the entire class erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

"You shouldn't have tangled with Huang Zhongyu. He's bound to seek revenge," Su Xueqing warned.

Her voice was melodious and soothing, like a celestial harmony.

After two lifetimes, Ye Chen realized just how stunning Su Xueqing truly was.

Her lips were a vibrant red, her teeth gleamed white, and her skin was as pure as fresh snow. She seemed like a celestial being, ethereal and untouched by the world's dust.

A mere glance in her direction sent his heart racing.

"Have you had your fill of staring? If so, kindly avert your gaze," she chided.

Su Xueqing's rebuke didn't embarrass Ye Chen. "You're exceptionally beautiful. What if I can't get enough?"

"You!"

Su Xueqing's lips parted in astonishment.

The Ye Chen of old was subdued and reserved. He seldom spoke, let alone flirted with her in such a manner.

"Mind your language, and show some courtesy."

"You're exceedingly beautiful. What should I do if I can't get enough?"

Su Xueqing shot Ye Chen a helpless glare.

Choosing not to linger on the subject, Su Xueqing continued, "You've angered Huang Zhongyu. He will surely find ways to target you."

"Join me at the library tomorrow to organize the history books. There's a revered scholar there. If you gain his favor, he can ensure your time at school is trouble-free."

"Are the library's books not already well-ordered? Why do they need organizing?" Ye Chen inquired.

"You'll understand once you're there tomorrow."

Ye Chen nodded, agreeing to the plan.

He wouldn't pass up an opportunity to be with Su Xueqing.

"Ye Chen, when you were teasing Su Xueqing earlier, she didn't get angry. How did you manage that?"

A fellow student whispered from behind Ye Chen.

Su Xueqing was notorious for her aloof demeanor.

No other boy had ever dared to tease her, especially considering the Qin family's formidable presence in Jianghai City.

Ye Chen gave him a brief glance, a memory surfacing in his mind.

Bai Xiaocheng, also known as Bai Pangzi, was known for his love of gossip.

In Ye Chen's previous life, Bai Xiaocheng had been on good terms with him. When Ye Chen faced trouble, Bai Xiaocheng had vouched for him, asserting to the school that Ye Chen was not a cheater.

But his voice was drowned out, his solitary efforts ignored, and the issue was never resolved.

For that, Ye Chen harbored a slight sense of gratitude toward Bai Xiaocheng.

He tapped Bai Xiaocheng on the head. "I was genuinely complimenting her just now."

Bai Xiaocheng gave a thumbs-up. "Being number one in the whole city is impressive. You can't even fool yourself!"

"Scram!"

Ye Chen chuckled as he playfully scolded. Once class began, he immersed himself in the system.

Since he was set to sort through history books with Su Xueqing tomorrow, he had to come prepared.

Ye Chen made his way to the Historical Category section.

The section was vast, with an incredibly comprehensive collection of books.

Whether it was existing literature or rare, lost volumes, they were all present.

"I see you've mastered the history of the Qin Dynasty. Would you like to extract it?"

"I see you've mastered the history of the Tang Dynasty. Would you like to extract it?"

"I see you've mastered the history of the Qing Dynasty. Would you like to extract it?"

Ye Chen dedicated an entire day to studying almost the entire ancient history of Huaxia.

"Reading a hundred lines at a glance truly is a divine skill. My reading speed is nearly a hundred times that of an average person, saving me a great deal of time."

He noticed there was still time to spare. He moved on to the Medical Category section.

The sight of the disorganized medical texts made him gasp in astonishment.

Shennong Herbal Classic, Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic...

These medical texts seemed to be the stuff of legends!

Ye Chen picked up a medical book and delved into his studies. He found that the techniques described were a hundred times more effective than modern medical practices. They were nothing short of miraculous.

With the prescriptions from the books, common and complex diseases could be cured almost instantly, even some cancers that modern medicine struggled to treat.

"Huaxia's medical wisdom is deep and vast, yet what has been handed down is just a fraction of its entirety," Ye Chen mused with a sigh.

"Beginner acupuncture skill discovered. Would you like to extract it?"

"Observant Skill discovered. Would you like to extract it?"

"Extract them all."

An ancient doctor could diagnose a patient's ailment just by observation.

A torrent of knowledge rushed into his mind, causing his consciousness to become slightly groggy.

"It seems my mental energy is still too fragile. Just extracting these few skills has overwhelmed me."

The bell signaling the end of class rang, marking the official conclusion of the day's lessons.

"Ye Chen, let's meet at the school gate tomorrow at eight o'clock," Su Xueqing said before turning and walking away.

Ye Chen shrugged and decided to head home.

He vividly recalled how, in his past life, Su Xueqing was fraught with worry when he was nearly expelled from school. Seeing Ye Chen endure so much injustice, she even shed tears in secret.

Su Xueqing's care was always profound and discreet!

"Someone's collapsed! Call an ambulance, quick!"

Just as Ye Chen stepped out of the school gate, he was met with cries of urgency.

Turning around, he saw a young woman lying next to a blue Porsche.

A woman in her fifties was beside herself with panic, fumbling with her phone as she attempted to call for an ambulance.

"This is bad; she's in critical condition."
