Chapter 7

"Be careful!"

Yun Haiyong, after gathering his energy, shouted and pushed his palms forward. Instantly, a fierce wind stirred, and a vast force exploded in the air, displaying an unstoppable momentum.

Yun Haiyong used the internal concentration technique to release this palm strike. This method focuses the palm force entirely in front, so as long as Li Yi dodged and avoided the center of the force, he wouldn't be injured.

With such a powerful and unparalleled strike, the effect of intimidating the opponent was achieved. If Li Yi had any discernment, he would definitely see that Yun Haiyong was holding back.

However, when Li Yi saw the palm strike coming, he still stood in place, showing no intention of dodging, and his eyes even had a hint of amusement, as if watching a clown perform!

Yun Haiyong couldn't help but become furious. What do you mean by not dodging? Do you want to challenge me head-on?

Fine, since you want to challenge me head-on, there's no other way. Young people must pay a price for their arrogance!

Yun Haiyong, blinded by anger, unleashed the palm force without reservation. The stagnant air between them seemed to be torn apart by the force, emitting a sharp, piercing sound. In the distance, the window directly opposite Yun Haiyong's palms shattered, turning into countless sparkling fragments.

"Wow, Commander is really powerful!" Qian Hu couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

If a glass window five meters away could shatter, this palm force was truly extraordinary! How could Li Yi, who was at the center of the force, still be alive?

"Boom!"

The moment the palms landed, Yun Haiyong frowned and inwardly cursed.

He thought Li Yi would definitely extend his palms to meet his strike. The result of such a powerful palm strike would be broken hands, which was the lesson he intended to teach Li Yi!

A lesson for his arrogance!

But Li Yi didn't even extend his hands, and he was hit on the chest without any defense, which was completely unexpected.

What does this mean? Is this young man seeking death?

This is a palm strike that can shatter stones. Being hit on the chest would result in internal organs being crushed and instant death!

Although Yun Haiyong realized the severity of the situation, it was too late to stop. Once the palm strike was released, it was unstoppable!

"Ah!" Yun Haiyong felt extremely heavy-hearted and sighed deeply.

Then, he was surprised to find that the young man was still standing in place, straight as a pine tree!

The young man's face still had that faint smile, as if nothing had happened!

"How... how is this possible?" Yun Haiyong's eyes widened.

Is there anyone in the world who can withstand his full-strength palm strike and remain unscathed?

Moreover, this young man wasn't just unscathed; he wasn't even affected by the force. He stood in place, not even flinching!

"Hey, Uncle, why are you touching my chest? Although we're both men, it's still not good for you to touch me like this." Li Yi smiled and patted Yun Haiyong's hand, which was still on his chest, looking a bit embarrassed.

Hearing Li Yi's teasing, Yun Haiyong quickly withdrew his hands, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

A full-strength palm strike, and it was called a chest touch. This was too absurd, and he felt his dignity was completely lost!

Qian Hu, watching from the side, was so amazed that he didn't even notice his mouth was open and drooling.

The commander's palm strike was truly earth-shattering, but it was completely ignored by the other party. This guy's body must be made of iron!

Too strong!

Indeed, China is full of talented people, and there are always greater heights and more capable individuals!

"Alright, let's stop the sparring here. If you have more powerful skills, feel free to try them. But if it's just these child's play tricks, it's a waste of time." Li Yi straightened his shirt, speaking as calmly as before.

Yun Haiyong didn't dare to try again. The palm strike was his ultimate skill, and if it didn't work, trying more would only bring shame!

The renowned commander felt a faint pressure from the other party, making him feel suffocated. At this moment, he no longer had the composure and confidence of a superior, but rather felt like a subordinate in front of a superior.

"Truly, heroes emerge from the young. I, Yun Haiyong, am not as skilled as you, and I am ashamed! Young man, what's your name? What do you do? Would you like to join our police force?" Yun Haiyong asked with a gentle smile.

"My name is Li Yi, and I'm still in school. As for your police force, there's no need to join; it wouldn't make much sense." Li Yi replied calmly.

Yun Haiyong's face quickly turned red. Indeed, with such extraordinary abilities, how could someone be satisfied with just being a police officer?

At this moment, Yun Haiyong suddenly remembered Qian Hu's words. This young man came to treat his daughter!

His daughter had been diagnosed with an incurable disease by major hospitals, with no hope of recovery. Those who claimed they could cure her were all frauds, and Yun Haiyong wouldn't believe them.

But this young man, with his extraordinary abilities, made Yun Haiyong think it was worth a try.

What if, by some miracle, it worked?

"Look at my head! Young man, Qian Hu said you can treat my daughter?"

"That's right." Li Yi nodded.

"How do you plan to treat her?" Yun Haiyong asked.

"I need to see the patient first to make a diagnosis." Li Yi said.

This wasn't Li Yi being pretentious. Although everyone said Yun Zhenzhen had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), what if there was another disease? Li Yi couldn't use his virtual energy now, so he had to see her to know what he could do.

"My daughter is inside, please come in."

When Yun Zhenzhen saw Li Yi enter, her face immediately turned an abnormal shade of red. She looked terrible and was afraid to see strangers.

However, when Li Yi saw her distorted face, he showed no surprise, not even a hint of expression. He simply walked to her side and placed his hand on her forehead.

Yun Haiyong couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise. Western medicine uses various instruments and scans, while traditional Chinese medicine relies on observation, auscultation, inquiry, and pulse-taking. But Li Yi didn't look at any medical records or ask about her condition; he just touched her forehead. What was the reasoning behind this?

Next, Li Yi's diagnostic method became even stranger. After touching Yun Zhenzhen's forehead, he put his hand under her blanket and felt her limbs, then nodded.

"How is it?" Zhang Hongjuan asked with concern.

She didn't trust the young man her husband brought. After all, Li Yi was too young. If such a young person could cure an incurable disease, what was the point of experts and professors?

"The problem isn't serious. If treated normally, she can recover in a week." Li Yi said.

"What?" Yun Haiyong and Zhang Hongjuan exclaimed in unison.

All the experts and doctors, both domestic and international, were helpless with her condition, and this young man said she could recover in a week? Was he just boasting?

"Impossible, right?" Yun Zhenzhen, lying in bed, was also amazed. She had never dared to hope for recovery.

Actually, Li Yi said a week to make it sound longer. Now he was using a backup energy system and didn't want to waste too much energy on treating Yun Zhenzhen. If he stretched it to a week, treating her a little each day would be zero consumption for him.

Moreover, the nature of human relationships is quite peculiar. The easier a task is, the less likely people are to be grateful. Think about it: would you remember someone who risked their life to save you for a lifetime, or someone who helped you casually?

Corrupt officials, when doing favors, would say it was difficult and that they would try their best, even if it could be done with a word. This way, they would receive endless gifts and gratitude after the task was completed.

So, Li Yi extended the treatment period to make it seem more challenging, which was necessary.

"Um, the week I mentioned is just to cure the root of her disease. But as you can see, her muscles are all atrophied. To regain normal function, it will take some time to exercise and recover." Seeing their surprised expressions, Li Yi added.

"Sniff, sniff, if Zhenzhen can be cured in a week, then... then... sniff..."

Although she wasn't sure Li Yi could really cure her, Zhang Hongjuan was so moved that she cried. When a person in despair sees hope, losing control is inevitable.

"What medication and equipment do you need?" Yun Haiyong asked anxiously.

As long as his daughter could recover, he was willing to spend any amount of money.

"No medication is needed, but you should prepare more nutritional supplements for her. Her body is too weak and needs a lot of nutrients."

"Good, good!" Zhang Hongjuan wiped her tears and nodded hurriedly.

Yun Haiyong, however, frowned. "No medication, how will you treat her?"

"Massage therapy." Li Yi said casually, then realized this might confuse them and added, "I will use my internal energy to penetrate her entire body, unblocking her meridians and bones, and stimulating her nervous and circulatory systems. This will definitely cure her."

The latter part was purely made up, but since Yun Haiyong was a spiritual energy collector, or what people call an internal energy practitioner, he would believe it.

Sure enough, Yun Haiyong's expression changed dramatically. Using internal energy to unblock meridians and cure a patient was something only found in legends. This young man was indeed a rare talent!

"This... it must be very draining, right?" Yun Haiyong asked, somewhat uneasy.

In legends, using internal energy to unblock meridians was extremely dangerous and could be fatal. Only dying elders would risk their lives to unblock their children's meridians.

If this young man could unblock his daughter's meridians and save her life, the favor would be enormous!

"It's a bit troublesome, but I don't think it will be a big issue." Li Yi deliberately humbled himself, not mentioning that it was just a minor task.

Yun Haiyong was instantly filled with gratitude. Given the young man's pride, saying it was a bit troublesome must mean it was a significant challenge. How could a terminal illness be easily cured by ordinary people? Even if the young man had extraordinary abilities, it was impossible!

"Um... how much for the consultation fee?"

Zhang Hongjuan didn't quite understand the conversation between the young man and her husband, but she was worried that the young man would ask for a huge sum and then run away. She had been deceived many times when her daughter first fell ill.

Yun Haiyong couldn't help but glare at his wife. Using internal energy to unblock meridians was something money couldn't buy. Mentioning money at this moment was too vulgar and didn't show respect for this extraordinary person.

Sure enough, he then heard Li Yi say calmly, "I've heard that Commander Yun is a clean and dedicated official, which is truly rare. I came to treat your daughter not for the consultation fee, but out of admiration for Commander Yun, hoping he can focus on his duties without worry. I won't take a single cent, but I would like to be friends with the Yun family."
