Maxine quickly ran away from the force.
However, she was not fast enough and was injured by the needles that came flying out.
James’ body collapsed to the bed.
Tobias was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat beads off his face, looking at James with relief.
“This young man is incredibly courageous. I can’t believe he came up with something so dangerous,” said Tobias.
“Grandpa, how is he?”
Maxine could not be bothered by the injuries on her body and quickly inquired about James, who was lying lifelessly on the bed, covered in blood.
With a smile, Tobias stroked his white beard and said, “It was a success. His Governor Vessel, Conception Vessel, Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and every single vessel in his body were opened up. In theory, he should’ve entered the fifth rank.”
“Really?” Maxine was shocked.
“Does that mean we’ll be able to create more martial grandmasters of the fifth rank using this method?”
Tobias shook his head and said, exhausted, “It’s not going to be easy. James’ meridians were already damaged, and he was on the brink of death. By using acupuncture needles to protect his heart meridian, he was pretty much putting all his eggs in one basket. However, we succeeded. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to bear such excruciating pain.
“Additionally, the True Energy used to perform this procedure would have to come from someone of at least the fifth rank. The overwhelming True Energy would tear through one’s meridian and vessels. An ordinary martial artist wouldn’t dare attempt such a thing.”
Maxine looked at the unconscious James and said with admiration, “He’s really courageous. By the way, even though James regulated all his meridians, they’ve already been damaged previously. Would he be able to survive?”
Tobias said solemnly, “He would’ve had zero chances of surviving. However, this kid is full of secrets and probably has a way to save himself.”
Hearing this, Maxine was relieved.
”Continue taking care of him. I’ve exerted too much True Energy and will have to rest.”
“Alright.” Maxine nodded.
Tobias said no more. He exited the room.
Maxine checked on James and went to fetch him some warm water. She took out a towel and began to wipe off the blood on his body.
