The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 495

Whoosh! A streak of golden light flashed as the Needle of the Seven Dragons firmly pierced Kind's body. Kind woke up; his eyes opened. Everyone in the room was collectively stunned. Was Kind truly saved?

"He's alive! The old man is alive!" Avery danced with joy.

Professor John, heralded as the world's foremost healer and known for looking down on others, felt a surge of dissatisfaction. Unable, despite his best efforts, to save Kind but seeing a country boy accomplish the feat struck a nerve. Instinctively, he turned his eyes to the monitors expecting them to confirm his doubts.

Elation filled him as he saw what he had hoped for — the monitor's numbers were all zeros, and the lines were flat, without a hint of fluctuation.

"Kind hasn't been revived. You see, the monitor's numbers haven't changed. This country boy is deceiving us, he's playing tricks. I don't know how he made Kind open his eyes, but he's definitely not alive," Professor John declared triumphantly.

"Professor John, are you so unwilling to accept that Kind has been saved? You say the monitors show zeros, of course, they're supposed to!" Daniel pointed at the unconnected instruments and reminded everyone cheerfully.

"To make it easier to administer the needles to Kind, I disconnected all these devices. Naturally, their readings would be zero, and the lines would remain flat since they aren't connected."
