The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 867

Chapter 867

James was pumped up about solving the mystery of the painting.

He opened the box while he sat on his wheelchair and gingerly lifted out the ancient scroll. As he unfurled the scroll, he could see carvings of human figures on it.

The human figures had many different forms and sizes. Some were standing while others were crouching.

Each of them was marked with a white dot and a red line.

James knew that the white dots represented the location of the acupoints, while the red lines represented the meridians.

This was a meridian acupoint diagram.

Though James knew the human body inside-out and was very familiar with the anatomy as a result, the places where the meridians and the acupoints intersected with one another on the carvings were peculiar. They were utterly incomprehensible when viewed through the lens of contemporary medical science

Back then, James would not have a clue about what the diagram meant. Things were different now. Now, he had the knowledge that came from Volume Two of the Medical Book. He leamed about the Internal Cultivation Method and how to control True Energy. This knowledge allowed him to understand what the meridian acupoint diagram on the scroll was trying to say. The carvings illustrated the flow and movement of True Energy within one’s body.

James wanted to test out his newfound information.

He tried summoning his True Energy. However, there was not an iota of it to be found in his body. As a result of this failed attempt, excruciating pain coursed through his body. Unable to withstand it, James fell off his wheelchair as he groaned in agony.

James lay on the floor alone in the vast, spacious basement of the Cadens. There was no one to help him up. Summoning what strength he had to spare, he got up from the floor and slumped against his wheelchair.

All the color had practically drained from his face, and his forehead was drenched in sweat. The sheer effort and exertion also caused his clothes to be wet with how own perspiration.

He let out a harsh and raspy gasp as he swore under his breath, “F*ck the Johnstons, they'll pay for this one day. They'll pay for destroying my meridians and dispersing the True Energy I cultivated. If the Cadens hadn't saved me, I'd have died like a dog.”

Instead of continuing his research while his body was racked with pain, James shut his eyes and meditated.

Outside...

Tobias sat on a stone armchair in the courtyard.

Maxine walked over to him and greeted him.

“Mhm."
