Chapter 404: Inheritance
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The Spiritual King Comet was an unusual comet. It had a light green coloured comet tail and an orbital period of a thousand year. It roamed across the universe and flew by Planet Earth.
But the unusual thing was, every time it flew pass Planet Earth in history, many events would occur, especially the appearance and increase in divine and supernatural forces.
Of course, Fang Yuan did not mention these as they were too shocking and taboo.
"Of course... the example I will be giving is not a retortion but part of my evidence!"
Fang Yuan displayed large amounts of data and formulae, "We can look at this curve related to the evolution of the human physical body. I have divided it into four stages and each section represents 10 years. This coincides with the wave crest of Spiritual King Comet's radiation….. The first crest is at Year 994 which was the start of the World War. Hence, I predict, in the Year 1004 and Year 1014, human bodies would reach a new peak. 20 years later, in the Year 1024 when the Spiritual King Comet officially reaches the boundary of Planet Earth, it would bring about tremendous changes..."
"In conclusion, the core of my thesis is that the human body is a small world where energy circulates. Energy in the body can sense and exchange with energy outside the body and the body is also affected by this energy. The peaks in energy are also closely related to the Spiritual king Comet. Thus, its next arrival would definitely bring about changes to the environment of Planet Earth and hence cause humans to undergo tremendous changes!"
"Regarding the factuality of my thesis and the examples I have I given, we can look at three cases in the Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital."
"Lu Wei has already lived two months longer than his expected life expectancy. Zhao Guoping's late-stage stomach cancer has already been controlled. In particular, Sun Xiaohong has already recovered her knee-jerk reflex, her situation is very optimistic!"
"I suggest, the last part about the start of the period of great evolution in humans can be judged next year!"
Fang Yuan had an odd smile on his face and bowed down.
After his presentation, there was absolute silence.
Many old professors and judging professors had a dumbfounded expression on their face.
"In actual fact…... by changing the name of spiritual droplets to energy, it should be the easiest way for these old researchers to understand what I am saying?" Fang Yuan thought as he stared in front silently.
"Qigong has already been proven as pseudoscience! Student Fang Yuan, are you trying to reverse that verdict?"
Biology Professor Ho raised his glasses and said, "Professor Zhang, what do you think?"
"The orbital period of Spiritual King Comet is indeed very long. Also, surrounding it are some mysterious phenomenon that could not be explained until now..."
Professor Zhang was a bit hesitant.
"But just looking at the front part on Traditional Chinese Medicine with real medical cases as evidence, I think it is not bad!" Professor Tian immediately supported his own student.
"I oppose, letting him pass the thesis defence is going against the rigour of science! How can you be so sure to confirm these with just a few conjectures and medical miracles..."
The biology professor was moving his arms wildly while criticising Fang Yuan, which made Fang Yuan slightly pity him.
The poor professor's world view, philosophy of life and values were definitely on the verge of breaking apart.
"I agree to pass him... Professor Zhang, how about you?"
Professor Tian's palms were sweaty as he looked at Professor Zhang, the last person to make the decision.
"On principle, I agree, but, I reserve the rights to pursue this retrospectively. Just like what he said, we must be rigorous in our research and projects. We will wait and see next year!"
Professor Zhang stood up and left his seat.
As many teachers began to left, they still continued to discuss Fang Yuan's thesis.
Before He Tianming left, he patted Fang Yuan's shoulder with a mixed emotion on his face, as though he was comforting Fang Yuan and yet seemed like he had other feelings.
"Sigh... you!"
Professor Tian waited for Fang Yuan to come down before he approached him with high hopes, "In the end, you still presented it... I already told you early on, just with your front portions, you would be a new pioneer in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine and you can even skip having a postgraduate degree. But you chose to add in those paranormal content or what not at the back which dragged you down..."
"Because truth... always rests with the minority!"
Fang Yuan smiled and appeared confident.
...
"Energy... Spiritual King Comet?"
That night, Fang Yuan's thesis was on top of a desk in a certain office.
"He's already reached this stage? What a genius!"
Director Zhou who especially went to Mountain Ocean City to invite Fang Yuan last time was reading the thesis word for word. He felt a bit conflicted as he thought, "Just that it's a pity... we cannot immediately verify whether his theory is correct or not. But just with the few medical cases, it should be of enough value..."
At Director Zhou's level, he could easily obtain the hospital's patient information. He was very clear that whatever Fang Yuan said were all true.
This was especially so for Zhao Guoping, he even controlled his condition and it was turning benign. Also, that Sun Xiaohong was also a miracle.
"It's a pity... that Fang's 13 Needles Technique could only be done by one and a half person in the entire Faculty of Traditional Chinese Medicine currently."
One was obviously Fang Yuan, while the other half a person was Professor Tian.
There was no choice, even if Fang Yuan further simplified his guiding needle process and energy transferring process, if one did not know how to use the technique, he still would not know even if it was simplified.
This was just like how that Qin Wanqing had no progress at all after learning for so long.
Director Zhou thought for a while and placed the thesis in a file. He chopped the "Secret" stamp on it and called his secretary over, "Send this to Mailbox 27, Copper Bay immediately!"
"Yes!"
The secretary bowed and ran out of the office.
In actual fact, that location was merely a layer of disguise. After the file was strictly inspected and passed around numerous times, it finally arrived at an underground military base.
A middle-aged person who just finished watching an experiment returned to his office and was reading the thesis intently. He then mumbled to himself, "Fang Yuan? Interesting..."
...
Autumn passed and it was now winter.
Although the thesis defence was not very smooth sailing, Fang Yuan still passed in the end. It was now the time period where the University presented the degree certificates and arranged jobs for the graduates.
However, it was as though Xijing University totally forgot about Fang Yuan. While other Year 4 students were already presented with job opportunities, there was absolutely no news for Fang Yuan.
Of course, these were all on the surface.
Fang Yuan also felt the level of security on him had already secretly increased, there were even traces that the medicinal herbs grown in his gardens were sampled for analysis.
It was a pity as Fang Yuan was extremely cautious and would leave absolutely zero traces. No matter how many times they checked on it, they could only reach the same conclusion that these medicinal herbs were just normal medicinal herbs.
Fang Yuan was also too lazy to be bothered by it and continued his usual routine of cultivating and going to the hospital.
After half a year, Fang Yuan felt his Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell was close to completion. He just needed a key opportunity for him to breakthrough.
"It's Doctor Fang!"
The moment Fang Yuan walked into the hospital, another doctor walking towards him had his eyes lit up immediately as though he just saw a god.
"Divine Doctor Little Fang!"
"Master Fang!"
The nearby patients and doctors erupted and swarmed towards Fang Yuan at once as though they were crazily chasing after a star.
Ever since Zhao Guoping's late-stage cancer became benign and he could even be discharged to go to work, the deserving title of "Divine Doctor" landed on Fang Yuan.
There were many people who came over wanting to observe, interact with and even learn from Fang Yuan. Of course, there were even more patients with all sorts of cancer that begged for Fang Yuan, some of their connections could not even be rejected by Dean Wang.
Seeing such, Fang Yuan could only keep repeating his cautions that his medical treatments were only an experiment and there would be sequelae and all sorts of uncertainty. Fang Yuan just kept trying to belittle himself and with a certain unknown force protecting him, he managed to have some peace.
Of course, there were still some instances every two or three days. Due to the rage in Qigong recently, many people wanted to cultivate too and came over to request Fang Yuan to accept them as disciples. There was even a youth that knelt in front of the hospital for three days straight, which made Fang Yuan want to roll his eyes.
Congratulations, youth, you were so close!
"Professor Tian, Dean Wang!"
Inside the hospital, Professor Tian and Dean Wang led a group of researchers who were staring intently at Fang Yuan.
"Sigh... after Old Lu persevered till now, he was in a critical condition a few times this morning..." One of the doctors said with his eyes red.
"His days are numbered, what can we do..."
Fang Yuan shook his head, "I'll go take a look at him!"
Naturally, a human's energy was not unlimited. At the stage of multiple organ failures, it was certain that his days were numbered, and one could only try his best to care for him.
The group of people arrived at the intensive care unit. There were numerous equipment and instruments surrounding Lu Wei, who was lying down on the bed in an unconscious state.
"He is in a deep coma, we have tried all sorts of method to wake him up but to no avail..." Dean Wang spoke softly.
"Bring me the needles!"
Fang Yuan furrowed his brows as he watched.
Professor Tian personally brought over a case of needles.
Fang Yuan picked up one needle and slightly squinted his eyes.
The surrounding doctors immediately stood still and kept quiet. One of them even took out a camera and began recording.
"Swoosh!"
Fang Yuan could not be bothered about what was happening behind him. The moment he picked up the needle, he was in an extremely calm state of mind. Suddenly, Fang Yuan moved; his right hand moved like the wind.
"Woosh! Woosh!"
In an instant, Old Lu was pricked 13 times and he jerked slightly.
When Fang Yuan poked his second needle, Old Lu's eyelids twitched before he woke up.
"Amazing!"
Dean Wang played back the scene and shook his head in awe at the same time, "This Fang's 13 Needles Technique requires one to prick 13 acupuncture points in a row at the start within 3 seconds. There is only a margin of error of 0.01 second between each needle! In the entire Faculty of Traditional Chinese Medicine, only Professor Tian could barely achieve it... however..."
Dean Wang had already witnessed the effectiveness of this needle technique, but due to limitations and conditions, the technique could not be popularised. Thus, Dean Wang was naturally disappointed.
"Doctor Fang... I guess I can't make it to the next day!"
Lu Wei opened his mouth and smiled while talking with no tinge of fear in him, "Lastly, thank you... I have a courtyard house in Wangfujing, I shall give it to you! Cough cough... this is my gratitude to you!"
"What? The old man still has a courtyard house under him?"
Outside the ward, the children of Old Lu were enraged, "Dad! You can't be biased..."
"How can you leave such a good thing to an outsider!"
"Exactly..."
The group of middle-aged men and women stared angrily at their father's lifesaver, Fang Yuan, as though they immediately regarded him as an enemy.
"Cough cough... all of you unfilial sons and daughters, I am sick and none of you even wanted to bear the medical fees... I... I don't have such children! Doctor Fang, you must accept it!"
Old Lu's face was red.
"Mister Lu, I don't need this, but if you don't want to leave it for your children, you can give it to the country!"
Fang Yuan had a righteous expression on his face as he continued, "Treating you is my contribution to the field of medicine and definitely not for any personal gains."
