A wailing sound pierced the air. Rocky ran forward, arriving outside of a shabby, old tent. As he stepped inside, he saw a child around five years old crying and pushing an old woman who was lying still on the ground. The little boy kept shouting, "Grandma!"
When he witnessed it, Rocky rushed forward and moved the boy out of the way to press his fingers to the old woman's neck. After feeling her weak pulse and confirming that she was still alive, he reached for her wrist to feel her pulse again.
At the same time, the child peered up at Rocky innocently while tears streamed down his cheeks.
"Don't worry. I will save your grandmother," Rocky reassured him.
The child seemed to understand and stopped crying.
After feeling the old woman's pulse, Rocky pressed against her chest a few times. Under his palms, her chest felt stiff and swollen. Her face was pale. She had difficulty breathing. Rocky summed it all up to a heart attack. According to modern medicine, she had suffered a myocardial infarction.
It had occurred suddenly. If the patient was not treated in time, she would most likely die. Even if she could survive, she would suffer from negative effects such as paralysis and disability.
Therefore, Rocky whipped out his medicine box, removed the black needles from it, and used the Skill of Magic Needle to cure the old woman.
Meanwhile, many people that lived in the slum had gathered. When they saw that the old woman seemed to be dying, they shook their heads and sighed. It was not that heartbreaking because death was a common occurrence in the slum.
At the same time, when they saw that Rocky was stabbing needles on the old woman's skin, discussions peaked among them. They had never seen an acupuncture technique like Rocky's, so when they saw Rocky inserting the needles into the old woman's chest one by one, they suspected he was trying to kill her.
Just as Rocky finished and was about to employ the spiritual power, a strong, rough-looking man from the Shura Race squeezed through the crowd. When he saw what was happening, he rushed forward, grabbed Rocky's collar, and shouted, "Who the hell are you? How dare you kill my mother?"
Hanging by his collar, Rocky remained calm and uttered, "If you want your mother to live, let go of me. Otherwise, I can't save her."
Under Rocky's intimidating gaze, the man subconsciously let him go. However, he still muttered, "You insert these needles into my mother's body and claim that you are saving her, but it's obvious that you are hurting her!"
"Your mother had a heart attack. This is the only way to save her life. If you don't want her to live, I can always step away," Rocky said in a serious voice.
Anxiety rushed through the man. After hesitating for a moment, he realized the only option was to agree. "Then save her quickly. If you can't save her, I won't let you live."
Rocky smiled and sat down cross-legged, activating the spiritual power. Immediately, he used the Skill of Magic Needle to break through the blocked heart meridian.
About half an hour later, the old woman's face gained some color and her breathing became smoother. Finally, she inhaled deeply and opened her eyes.
When the members of the Shura Race that were present saw her awaken, they were all shocked.
"What a highly skilled doctor!"
"I've never seen someone save a person that was so far gone! He can save people on the verge of death!"
"Grey, your mother was lucky to survive this."
The members of the Shura Race immediately spoke excitedly, turning towards the young man.
