Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"Nothing serious. I think I just sprained my ankle," the old woman replied, stretching out her foot that seemed to be rather swollen.

"Let me check it. I will identify how severe the condition is." Then, Rocky immediately squatted down and examined the old woman's foot. However, the moment he saw it, it was already pretty bad. It was so swollen that he thought even her bone might be injured as well. The problem was that Rocky was in his spiritual soul form. Hence, he could not treat her directly by using his medical skills. Moreover, there was also a chance that this old lady was not a living person.
