Chapter 228 Bone Transformation, Then Breakthrough, A Medical Miracle?

In just a few steps, Master Gou removed the bone and re-entered the treatment room.

However, this time, he was accompanied by a burly assistant.

"This is?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at his assistant with some confusion.

"There's nothing we can do. Your situation is rather rare, and unfortunately, the Soul Master who possessed the ability to put people into a state of slumber went home to hold his wedding just a few days ago."

"Even at the fastest possible time, he won't be back until next month. Your situation can't afford to wait, so you'll have to choose another option."

"I'm not good at this, so I'll have to let him do it."

Master Gou stepped aside and had his assistant walk in front of Yu Xiaogang.

"Other methods?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at his assistant, who was blocking all the light in front of him, and asked somewhat uneasily.

"Hmm, other methods."

Master Gou's words echoed from behind. Then, the assistant gave Yu Xiaogang a sinister smile and swiftly chopped his right hand into a chop to the neck.

Yu Xiaogang slumped softly into the chair. In his last moments before losing consciousness, he wanted to curse.

If you knock him out, you knock him out. What's the meaning of smiling at him like that?

When he regained consciousness, Yu Xiaogang felt warm all over, and the pain in his face and legs had disappeared.

He opened his eyes and found that Master Gou was looking down at him, observing his condition.

"You're awake. The treatment was a success."

Master Gou seemed quite satisfied with the results of his treatment.

"Come on, get down and walk around a bit, check if there's anything wrong with your legs."

After using the detection skill again, he pointed to the bedside, signaling Yu Xiaogang to get up and get out of bed.

"Okay."

Yu Xiaogang propped himself up with his arms, quickly got off the bed, tried to walk around, and even stomped his feet hard to feel the feedback.

"Thank you, Master Gou. Thank you. I feel no different than before I was injured."

This time, Yu Xiaogang's gratitude was genuine. He thought he would need some time to adjust, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

"I'm glad you're satisfied. By the way, although it won't affect your daily activities now, you should still use your soul power to nourish your left calf recently, understand?"

Master Gou casually offered a reminder.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Yu Xiaogang realized halfway through his sentence that he was speaking in a slightly slurred manner. The rest of the sentence was fine, but the main problem was that he was missing two front teeth. It was obvious that the teeth that had been knocked out had not grown back after treatment.

Master Gou also suppressed a laugh and looked at him: "Don't look at me, I really can't restore it to its original state in a short time. If you're in a hurry, you can try to find a higher-level healing soul master."

This wasn't intentional on Master Gou's part. He's been a Soul King for so many years, and this is the first time he's encountered such a situation. He's never had a tooth knocked out when treating others before.

Well, that's a discovery. He's even planning to publish an academic article, and maybe he can even get some research funding.

Yu Xiaogang's face turned green. He was missing two front teeth; how could he face anyone now?

"I suspect the treatment dosage is insufficient; perhaps you could try going to the Ye family."

Master Gou kindly offered his advice.

Yu Xiaogang closed his mouth and hummed in agreement before walking outside. The Ye family? Would it cost nothing to go to the Ye family? He was penniless right now.

Fortunately, because of Luo Sanpao, he didn't lack masks. He'll wear a mask for a while until his teeth grow in.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to step out of the treatment room, Master Gou's voice suddenly rang out behind him again.

"Oh, right, wait a minute, you've already paid, so take the repair materials with you."

Thinking of the way Yu Xiaogang looked when he took out his money, and seeing his somewhat dejected figure, Master Gou felt a pang of pity and took the initiative to call out to him.

He got beaten up, and he had to keep it a secret from the students and pay for it himself, but it was impossible to get him to take out the gold soul coins that were already in his pocket.

Since the specimen was already damaged and had no collectible value, and some of it had been used to repair Yu Xiaogang's leg bones, making it even less valuable, we might as well just give it to him.

In this way, I can go to a shop in Tiandou City and sell it. After all, it is the skeleton of a soul beast, and it is more complete than most skeletons. I can make some money from it, and it can be considered that I have done a good deed.

"Repair materials?"

Upon hearing his words, Yu Xiaogang turned around and looked at him with some surprise.

"Yes, it still uses the bones of a soul beast, and now it belongs to you."

Master Gou walked closer and placed the skeletal specimen of the canine soul beast in front of Yu Xiaogang.

"What kind of spirit beast is this?"

Yu Xiaogang asked with some curiosity.

If it were a real soul beast, or if a picture were shown, he would definitely be able to recognize it. Unfortunately, with the skeleton right in front of him, he really couldn't tell the difference.

"A hundred-year-old grass dog is considered a relatively rare soul beast, but we usually just call it a 'vegetable dog'."

Master Gou considerately introduced them to him, but seeing Yu Xiaogang's face turn red, he thought Yu Xiaogang didn't recognize them and quickly explained:

"Don't underestimate this weak dog. Although it's weak, it's rare precisely because of its weakness. This specimen is still relatively intact, even though some bones are missing from its lower leg due to repairs. You can still get one or two gold soul coins if you sell it in Heaven Dou City."

He was explaining, but Yu Xiaogang was already furious when he heard the words "vegetable dog." His left leg had been replaced with a dog bone, albeit only for repair.

But that's a dog, a mongrel dog.

He always felt that this Master Gou was deliberately humiliating him, from the way he addressed him until now, he was targeting him.

And his bones have turned into dog bones, isn't that calling him a lackey?

Yu Xiaogang became famous. He swore that if he hadn't known before that this person was a Soul King and that he himself didn't have much combat ability, he would have attacked him without hesitation.

Master Gou finally realized something was wrong. How come this person was still looking at him angrily, as if he wanted to hit him, even after he had finished explaining? And was still blaming him for not growing his teeth properly?

No wonder he got beaten up before, turns out he's an ingrate. He hasn't even left the treatment room yet and he's already giving him attitude.

For a moment, he even considered taking the dog skeleton specimen back.

One should be magnanimous, but Master Gou's face also darkened. He pointed to the specimen on the ground and asked in a cold voice, "Do you still want it? If not, I'll put it away."

"No!" Yu Xiaogang wanted to shout in refusal, but considering that he couldn't even afford his last copper soul coin, and that it was something he had exchanged for thirty-eight gold soul coins, it was already his possession.

Most importantly, this is also the evidence he uses to remember the events of today.

So he snorted coldly, put it into his soul tool, glared at Master Gou, and then angrily pushed open the door and walked out without looking back.

"Who are these people?"

Master Gou shook his head and sighed. "Don't let him run into this person again. Don't even think about getting him to make a move without fifty, no, one hundred gold soul coins."

Thinking of this, he touched the thirty-eight gold soul coins in his pocket and smiled. The money from processing the specimens was three gold soul coins to hand over to the academy, so he made a net profit of thirty-five, which was pretty good.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang, who had already put on a mask and was walking towards his residence, became increasingly angry as he thought about it. He then fiercely raised his foot and kicked a small stone on the side of the road.

This time, he used his right foot.

"Aww!"

Yu Xiaogang gasped and clutched his toes, which had struck the sharp part of the rock. He could feel his toes swelling up rapidly.

"What a run of bad luck. Oh well, it's getting late. I'll go back and get some rest tonight and not go looking for Tianheng for now."

After a long while, Yu Xiaogang, who had just recovered, was too exhausted to even curse. He limped toward his room.

Exhausted, Yu Xiaogang pushed open the door, intending to go straight to sleep, but as he passed the table, he noticed dinner laid out on it.

Besides dinner, there was also a note left on it.

"Teacher, since I didn't know when you would be back, I was worried you wouldn't have time for dinner after your treatment, so I brought you some. Please eat and get some rest. —Tang San"

In an instant, Yu Xiaogang's eyes reddened. After all, there were still people who cared about him.

He sat down and, ignoring the fact that the food had long since gone cold, began to stuff large mouthfuls into his mouth.

Don't worry, little sister, I will definitely make sure you make it into the Royal Fighting Team!

After eating everything clean, Yu Xiao felt a bit full and wanted to stand up and move around, but the sharp pain in his toes made him give up the idea.

Alright, I'll just cultivate for a while tonight and use my soul power to nourish my left leg and the toes of my right foot. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover by tomorrow.

He had given up cultivation years ago, but now, even though he was quite dissatisfied with Master Gou, he still decided to follow the doctor's advice. He could still tell whether it was beneficial to him or not.

After quickly washing up, Yu Xiaogang sat cross-legged on the bed and began his long-awaited cultivation.

He carefully manipulated his soul power, letting it flow over his left leg. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the speed at which his soul power circulated was much faster than before.

"Let's try again," Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, then began to circulate his soul power again, focusing all his attention on his left leg.

This time, he finally confirmed that the speed at which the soul power circulated in his left leg was indeed faster than before.

Could it be? Yu Xiaogang's heart, which had long been dormant, began to pound violently as he considered a possibility.

One lap, two laps, three laps, the speed of his soul power circulation increased, and he could feel that the bones in his left leg were becoming more perfect, and his bottleneck was also loosening slightly.

Finally, after his soul power passed through his left leg once again, his soul power increased.

He, Yu Xiaogang, has broken through; he has now become a level 30 Quasi-Soul Master.

His soul power, which had been dormant for over a decade, began to increase, albeit only slightly, but for him, it was an incredible miracle.

"Hahahaha, I've broken through! I've broken through!"

In the room, ignoring the pain in his right toe, Yu Xiaogang jumped off the bed, laughing wildly, not caring at all that he still had a slight lisp when he spoke.

No one could understand his excitement at that moment. He laughed for a long time, as if venting his emotions. Yu Xiaogang then turned his gaze to his left leg. He was certain that his improvement this time was entirely due to it.

Just a few hours ago, Cai Gou's bones in his left leg were replaced. He couldn't help but tremble with excitement, for this might be his future direction.

At this moment, Han Li, who had just finished his cultivation, also sensed the change in his fortune.
