âDo you have a death wish, boy?
âMr. Julian personally asked you to treat him, yet you refuse?â snapped Gunther.
A dozen men rushed in from outside the room at a single word. They were all genuine martial artists, each capable of defeating one hundred men by themselves.
If these people attacked at the same time, Gunther could guarantee that even if Clarence had some odd tricks up his sleeves like subduing them with a silver needle, these martial artists could take Clarence down in a heartbeat.
Clarence would not be able to take more than a few down.
âStop,â Julian roared, shooting Gunther a cold look. âWho told you to attack Mr. Howard?
âFools, get the f*ck out of here!
.
âMr. Howardâs my guest!â
Gunther and the rest were unwilling to comply but dared not refute under Julianâs threat. They retreated silently.
Before Clarenceâs astonished eyes, Julian humbled himself and bowed to Clarence. âMr. Howard, please cure my illness.
âIf you can save me, you will be my friend from now on!â
Clarence was surprised. With Julianâs status, threatening Clarence would be the best approach, rather than being humble.
âYouâre too kind, Mr. Julian.â
Clarence was not someone unable to appreciate othersâ kindness. Julian was so polite that Clarence would look mean if he continued to behave proudly.
âI can treat you right now.â
âNow?â
It was Julianâs turn to be surprised. âDonât you need to prepare anything?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo.â
Clarence shook his head and asked Julian to lie down on the couch.
Julian did not ask why, simply laying down obediently and putting his hands and feet in place.
Clarence pulled back Julianâs clothes. âIt may hurt a little, but bear with it.â
Clarence had already figured out that Julianâs governing and conception vessels were congested, and that there were multiple vital energy-blocking meridian knots in his body. It must have been the method of practice that had been wrong.
He only needed to unblock the governing and conception vessels, as well as untie the knotted meridians.
Julianâs illness was not an illness at all.
Normal doctors would not be able to cure Julian, but this was nothing for Clarence, who had X-ray vision.
Clarence took out his silver needles and inserted them immediately!
Pfff!
A silver needle landed onto Julian and sank into his muscle.
âHiss! Ahh!â Julian gasped. It hurt so f*cking bad that even his facial muscles contorted.
âMr. Julian! What did you do to Mr. Julian, boy?â Gunther was about to rush over again.
âYou oaf.â Clarence rolled his eyes.
Julian roared, âStand down.â
Gunther retreated with hatred, staring at Clarence with red eyes. He would tear Clarence apart as soon as anything happened to Julian.
Clarence inserted nine needles in one go. They landed where Julianâs meridians had been knotted, and unknotted them one by one.
Julian trembled when the final needle landed. His body shook violently, as if he was experiencing an epileptic fit.
âMr. Julian!â
Horrified, Gunther wanted to pounce on Clarence.
However, Clarence simply sat back on the couch calmly. Julian yelled, âI told you to stop. Who told you to touch Mr. Howard?â
âMr. Julian, whatâs come over you?â Gunther dared not move.
Julian was still shaking violently. His face was filled with agony, but his heart was filled with ecstasy.
He was in such pain because the internal energy in his body was frantically striking the meridians and breaking through the congested meridians in his body one by one.
How could it not be painful, if the meridians being broken through felt like his body was being torn apart?
However, the pain made Julian ecstatic.
Five minutes passed. Julian was drenched in a cold sweat. He sat on the couch as if exhausted, bursting into tears of joy.
âHahaha! Oh my God. I, Julian Wright, have practiced martial arts all my life.
âSince my meridians got congested five years ago, I lost my internal energy. Today, my meridians have been restored!â Julian looked up to the sky and laughed, tears gushing from his eyes.
âMr. Howard, please accept my gratitude!
âFrom this day on, you are my brother!â
Julian got down on one knee and gave a martial artistâs salute to Clarence.
Clarence stepped forward and helped Julian up. âMr. Julian, youâre joking.â
âYouâre calling me Mr. Julian?â
Clarence nodded. âBrother Wright.â
Julian looked pleased and took Clarence by the arm. He was very affectionate.
Clarence could tell that Julian was not faking. He really was happy.
âBrother Howard, today weâll make merry till weâre drunk.
âGunther, go get my Lafite.â Julianâs voice sounded several times louder since his internal energy had been restored.
Clarence smiled casually. âBrother Wright, I think your meridians were congested not because there was something wrong with your training but because of the methods.â
âIs there a problem with the methods?â Julian froze.
Clarence nodded gently. âIf possible, can I see your training methods, Brother Wright?â
âWell...â
Julian hesitated slightly.
If an outsider had said that instead of Clarence, he would have killed the outsider on the spot.
In the martial arts world, coveting othersâ training methods was the most serious taboo.
Clarenceâs tone changed when he saw that Julian was in a dilemma. âIf not, I can just look at the meridian diagram of the vital energy movement.â
Julian smiled and shook his head. âItâs nothing. Youâve just saved me, Brother Howard. How could you have an ulterior motive for the Wright Mental Cultivation Method?
âBrother Howard, look!â
Julian pulled a brown paper book out of his undergarment.
It was yellow and wrinkled. It looked like a secret martial arts book from a martial arts novel.
Clarence took it, flipped through a few pages, and discovered that there was some mental cultivation formula.
There were a dozen meridian diagrams of the vital energy movement in the back.
Clarence looked through them and pointed to some of them. âI know what the problem is now.â
âWhatâs the problem?â Julian was surprised.
Clarence pointed to the meridian diagram. âThere are clearly some problems with the vital energy movement, which goes against human meridians.
âCultivating vital energy may not feel like much at first.
âHowever, it all adds up to problems sooner or later. If Iâm not wrong, some of the other members of the Wright family are paralyzed or have been made paraplegic from practicing this, right? Youâre lucky to have just lost your internal energy.â
Julian looked at Clarence in shock. âThe Wright Mental Cultivation Method has been passed down in the Wright family for hundreds of years.
âThe Wright family was a martial arts family a hundred years ago. Later, one after another, they began to have problems practicing this method, which had left them paralyzed or unable to continue practicing martial arts for life.
âIâm the only one in my generation who is still interested in the Wright Mental Cultivation Method. I have been practicing martial arts for more than twenty years. Relying on the Wright familyâs connections, I became the vice president of the Martial Arts Association Mediterranean City branch.
âTo be honest, Iâm no longer worthy of such a title after losing my powers five years ago.
âA lot of my old brothers are gone. Only Gunther is still with me.â There was a gleam of desolation in Julianâs eyes as he said that.
When Julian was at his prime, he had countless entourages and dozens of luxury cars flanking him whenever he went out.
There were no more people left. Only Gunther had remained loyal.
Unfortunately, Clarence had crippled Guntherâs pubic region a few days ago, so Gunther had now been reduced to an ordinary person.
Clarence had not expected Gunther to be so loyal. He looked up at Gunther. âGo to Thirteen Hall tomorrow, and Iâll help you recover your pubic region.â
âReally?â Gunther was excited.
