Chapter 75

After everyone had finished recording, and the group dispersed, Luo Feng was immediately surrounded by his classmates, who bombarded him with questions about the nature of his magical energy. However, they could only express their sympathy, as they were powerless to help.

Over the past two days, Aaron had been unwell and hadn't joined the others in cultivating, so he only learned about Luo Feng's unusual condition now. He pulled Luo Feng aside and whispered, "Hey, what's going on? Why is your magical energy attributeless?"

Luo Feng shrugged, "You'll have to ask the heavens about that."

Aaron didn't believe it, "That's impossible. With your rapid cultivation speed, your magical energy can't be attributeless. And why do you look so unconcerned!"

Luo Feng sighed, feigning helplessness, "I wish I could, but what can I do?"

"That's not right, there must be something wrong. By the way, I have a relative who knows a very good healer. Let's go see him this weekend!"

"No need, I can see a healer myself!"

"No way, the healer you find won't be as good as mine. It's settled!"

"..."

True to his word, Aaron dragged Luo Feng to Victoria City right after class on Saturday, giving him no chance to escape. Qiqi was still waiting at Saint De College, so Luo Feng had no choice but to ask a classmate he was familiar with to inform the little beauty and ask her to go back.

Upon arriving in the city, Luo Feng was surprised to find that Aaron had brought him to a very famous medical institute in Victoria City. "Aaron, this is Saint Mary's Hospital. It's usually for the rich and is very expensive. Forget it, I'll go!"

Luo Feng knew he had no problem. It would be one thing to just placate Aaron, but going to Saint Mary's Hospital for a check-up would be a waste of money, and he couldn't bear it.

"Stand still, don't move, or I'll cut ties with you!" Aaron almost roared, hands on his hips, drawing the attention of passersby, but he didn't care.

Seeing how serious Aaron was, Luo Feng had no choice but to stop.

Aaron huffed, "Now that we're here, there's no turning back. You have to get checked today, whether you like it or not. As for the money, don't worry. My relative is very familiar with the healer and won't charge you anything. I'll call him out, and he'll even waive the registration fee. Wait here, I'll be back soon!"

Without waiting for Luo Feng's response, he ran into the hospital.

Although Aaron was domineering, Luo Feng felt warm inside, knowing his roommate really cared about him.

At this time, in the office of Saint Mary's Hospital, an old man was carefully studying an ancient medical book. He was the hospital's director, Lawrence, the most famous healer in Victoria City. Despite his fame, Lawrence never stopped learning and always continued to study medical knowledge in his spare time, constantly enriching himself. As a result, his healing skills were not only excellent but also extensive, proficient in treating various common diseases, injuries, and even rare and complex conditions.

While he was engrossed in the ancient medical book, he suddenly heard someone shout, "Wait, you can't go in..."

The voice belonged to the hospital's security guard, who seemed to have encountered a problem.

Before he could finish, a person rushed into the director's office.

The intruder was a handsome young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Putting down the ancient medical book, Lawrence frowned.

Few people dared to cause a disturbance in such a sacred place, especially in Saint Mary's Hospital, and especially in the director's office. Lawrence, renowned as a healer in the Holy City and a super-strong water-elemental martial artist, could easily give troublemakers a harsh lesson. However, he rarely did so, as healers were meant to save lives and heal the injured. Unless the situation was extremely serious, he would just drive them away. Besides, the intruder was just a young boy, and Lawrence wouldn't stoop to arguing with him.

The young man shouted as soon as he entered, "Director Lawrence, please check my friend quickly!"

It seemed he was seeking help for someone else, not causing trouble intentionally. However, the young man's lack of manners was striking. He didn't even say "please" in front of the esteemed director and elder. The young people these days really lacked manners.

But Lawrence didn't get angry. He was always composed and said calmly, "Young man, you need to make an appointment. If it's an emergency, you can go to the hospital's emergency department. There are many experienced and skilled healers at Saint Mary's who can help your friend."

The young man was Aaron. Seemingly remembering something, his voice changed from its usual tone to a feminine one, "No, no, Director Lawrence, I need your help specifically. Hurry up!"

That voice...

Lawrence blurted out, "Scarlett!"

Aaron's grandfather had many old friends, and Lawrence was one of them. They had been classmates since their youth and had a lifelong friendship. They occasionally visited each other in the Holy City, so Lawrence knew Aaron's granddaughter and had even taught her a few healing techniques, making him something of a mentor to her.

At this moment, the security guard finally arrived, panting, "I'm sorry, Director, it's my fault for disturbing you. But this boy is really fast. I'll take him away right now."

"That's fine, I'll handle it." Dismissing the security guard, Lawrence turned his attention back to Aaron.

Although he looked like a boy, his voice confirmed that it was indeed Scarlett. The mischievous young woman was known for her tricks in the Holy City, so it wasn't surprising that she was dressed as a boy. "Scarlett, I heard from your grandfather that you entered Starlight College..."

"Yes, Grandpa Lawrence, but that's not important now. Let's check on my roommate first."

"Oh, your roommate, what's wrong with him? Is he seriously injured and needs immediate treatment?"

"No, no, he recently advanced to the magical energy stage, but his martial energy is attributeless."

"Attributeless martial energy?" Lawrence was a bit surprised. "This defect usually only occurs in martial artists with lower talent. Your roommate is about your age and has already advanced to the magical energy stage, which indicates excellent talent. His martial energy shouldn't be attributeless."

Aaron nodded, "That's why ordinary healers can't diagnose it. I need your help."

Lawrence pondered for a moment, "Alright, I'll go with you."

For Scarlett's sake, and because attributeless martial energy was extremely rare, even among complex cases, Lawrence was intrigued and decided to check on the young man.

Luo Feng was waiting outside the hospital entrance. Soon, he saw Aaron return, accompanied by an elderly man dressed as a healer.

The old man had a kind face but exuded a restrained aura, suggesting he held a significant position at Saint Mary's Hospital. Luo Feng felt a bit nervous.

Who did Aaron bring?

"Aaron, this is a very famous healer from Saint Mary's Hospital," Aaron introduced Luo Feng but didn't reveal that the old man was the director. Not everyone could summon Director Lawrence, and if Luo Feng knew, he might ask too many questions. So, Aaron kept it a secret, having already informed Director Lawrence beforehand.

Luo Feng didn't know how to address him and could only say, "Hello, thank you for your trouble."

"Sure, no trouble. Luo Feng, let me check you. Remember, don't resist." As he spoke, he gently tapped, and Luo Feng was enveloped in a large blue water bubble, unable to move. However, he didn't feel suffocated. The water-elemental martial energy in the bubble seeped into his skin, feeling cool and refreshing, spreading through his body. Lawrence closed his eyes and focused on the movement of the water-elemental martial energy inside Luo Feng's body.

He usually did checks quickly, but this time it took nearly five minutes before he opened his eyes, his expression peculiar.

Aaron knew the check was complete and asked, "How is it?"

After a moment of thought, Lawrence said, "There are two main reasons for attributeless martial energy. The first is an accident during cultivation. However, Luo Feng's martial energy is quite pure and solid, not like someone who had an accident. The second reason is a congenital defect. May I ask, Luo Feng, do you have a history of serious illness?"

Actually, Luo Feng knew he was fine, but since ordinary people, including famous healers, couldn't diagnose the cause, he went along with it. "I had a strange illness before, which made it hard to cultivate martial energy."

Lawrence followed up, "Oh, what happened later?"

Luo Feng lied, "I don't know why, but it naturally got better, and my cultivation speed improved."

After another moment of thought, Lawrence concluded, "Perhaps that strange illness is the cause of your attributeless martial energy. That's the best explanation I can give."

Even this renowned healer could only use "perhaps," indicating that Luo Feng's condition was beyond his understanding.

Aaron asked, "That's secondary. The key is whether Luo Feng can be cured."

"To treat someone, we must first understand the cause," Lawrence sighed. "But after a detailed check with my martial energy, Luo Feng's body is in excellent condition in every aspect. So, I have no idea where to start."

Aaron was anxious, "Does that mean Luo Feng will always cultivate attributeless martial energy?"

"For now, that's the case." Lawrence paused and then comforted, "However, I'll continue to research and look for similar cases. Luo Feng, don't give up. In medicine, many conditions once thought incurable have been overcome. Your will and belief are crucial. Keep going, and you might be the next miracle!"

Luo Feng felt guilty for deceiving this kind-hearted healer, who was so enthusiastic about encouraging him.

After saying goodbye to Lawrence, Aaron's face showed unmistakable disappointment, while Luo Feng remained calm. It was as if the one with attributeless martial energy was Aaron, not Luo Feng, which surprised Aaron. He frowned, "Hey, why don't you look sad at all?"

Luo Feng smiled, "Being sad won't help. The healer said I need to keep going and have hope. So, why not be optimistic?"

Aaron's eyes widened, unsure whether to call Luo Feng overly optimistic or just plain optimistic.

Even Director Lawrence couldn't help, so Luo Feng's condition was indeed very challenging, with little hope of a cure. The only hope was a miracle.

Aaron had always wanted to tease Luo Feng, but seeing him look so down, and now with such a misfortune, he couldn't feel any joy.

Unconsciously, he had come to see this diligent, kind, and righteous young man as a friend. Aaron didn't want to see him sink into despair.

No, I need to find other ways. Besides Director Lawrence, my grandfather and the old man know many capable people.

With this thought, Aaron rallied his spirits, "Right, Luo Feng, don't lose heart. I'll ask my relative if there are other healers with expertise in this area. That's it. Hey, are you sure you're not just pretending to be calm? You won't go and hang yourself or jump off a building once I leave, right?"

Luo Feng was both amused and exasperated, "Come on, Aaron, you can relax. I won't do anything drastic over this!"

"That's good. I'll see you on Monday!"

Watching Aaron's back, Luo Feng felt a bit troubled.

His lie had caused Aaron so much trouble.

However, Luo Feng was also touched.

At least, his roommate hadn't changed his attitude just because of his attributeless martial energy. He still cared about me. I must cherish such a good friend!
