Chapter 1924 by Marina Vittori

“Young man, you haven’t even assessed the patient’s condition, and yet you claim confidence in healing him. Isn’t that a bit presumptuous?” Bob was evidently displeased.

Although he was a rural doctor, he had over ten years of medical experience and had saved numerous lives. How could a young, inexperienced man be able to cure Ryan when even he couldn’t do so?

“The patient has 13 external injuries, the most serious being the wound that penetrated his chest and exited through his back. Fortunately, his exceptional physical condition allowed him to survive.

“The real challenge lies in the extensive poisoning. His internal organs have sustained varying degrees of damage. If we don’t remove it swiftly, he won’t make it through tomorrow,” Dustin explained Ryan’s injuries in detail.

“How … How did you figure that out?” Bob was shocked.

He had to perform a thorough examination and read Ryan’s pulse to arrive at his diagnosis. So how did the young man before him achieve the same?

“Many ailments can be understood with just a glance,” Dustin replied indifferently.

“What? A mere glance?” Bob was astounded.

“It’s not some incurable disease, so a single glance is enough.” Dustin remained unfazed. The corner of Bob’s mouth twitched. He was speechless. Dustin’s calm and confident gaze was hinting at his abilities.

“Young man, are you truly confident?” Kayson asked.

“You’ll find out if you let me try. It’s better than doing nothing at all,” Dustin replied.

“Alright, then I’ll leave him to you.” Kayson made way for Dustin, inviting him forward.

Judging from Ryan’s condition, it seemed like he probably wouldn’t make it through tomorrow, and it was already too late to send him to the hospital. This attempt marked their final effort.

Approaching Ryan, Dustin took out a Curax and fed it to him. Then, with a wave of his hand, a row of silver needles shot out, precisely penetrating Ryan’s vital pressure points.

As the silver needles entered his body, Dustin waved his hand again. The needles began to rotate rapidly, channeling streams of mystical pure energy into Ryan’s system through the puncture points.

This process cleared his circulatory pathways and dispelled stagnant blood.

Dustin’s miraculous healing techniques left the doctor in awe. Although he possessed acupuncture skills, he had to meticulously locate and pierce each pressure point one by one.

In contrast, Dustin effortlessly guided over a dozen silver needles with a mere wave of his hand, accurately targeting the specific pressure points like a spectral force. Throughout the entire procedure, he didn’t even touch the patient.

Such extraordinary proficiency was unprecedented for the doctor. He couldn’t fathom how someone so young could display such advanced skills.

After a short while, color returned to Ryan’s face.

“Get up!” Dustin waved his hand once more, and the dozen silver needles embedded in Ryan’s body swiftly

retracted into Dustin’s sleeve.

Almost immediately, Ryan, who had been unconscious on the sickbed, began to cough violently. With a loud retch, he expelled a significant amount of dark blood.

“He’s awake, the patient is awake!”

Bob was both shocked and delighted at what he just witnessed. He now held a deep admiration for Dustin.

With just a few needles, Dustin had managed to revive a critically ill patient, proving himself as a prodigious miracle doctor.

“Young man, you’re truly amazing! You’ve managed to completely heal the patient within ten minutes!” Kayson exclaimed in amazement.

Even with his extensive experience and knowledge, encountering a young genius like Dustin, who possessed extraordinary medical skills, was an exceptionally rare occurrence.

“I can’t claim to have fully healed him, but the patient is no longer in immediate danger. With the right medication over the next few days, he should make a full recovery,” Dustin said calmly.

“Who… are you guys?” Ryan struggled to sit up on the bed. He appeared extremely weak, but his gaze was unusually alert.

“I’m Kayson Zaeske, the village chief of Dusthaven Village. I’m the one who saved you. You were severely injured and on the verge of death.

“Fortunately, I sought the assistance of this skilled doctor. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have survived.”

“Huh?” Dustin raised an eyebrow and looked at Kayson with a meaningful glance. He couldn’t help but quietly sneer at Kayson’s shrewdness. The old man had effortlessly claimed credit for everything with just a few words.

Despite his irritation, Dustin decided to let it slide. He could see through Kayson’s intentions. He was attempting to win Ryan’s favor and gain some advantages.

“Thank you, Mr. Zaeske. Thank you, doctor.” Ryan expressed his gratitude politely, acknowledging both Kayson and Dustin.

“Young man, how did you end up with such serious injuries? What exactly happened?” Kayson asked the question that was on everyone’s mind.

“I…” Ryan began, but he appeared hesitant.

“Young man, don’t worry. We’re not the bad guys. We just want to help,” Kayson reassured him with a gentle smile, looking benevolent and caring.

“Ryan, I didn’t save your life for nothing. We need information about the desert, especially that mystical oasis!” Dustin went straight to the point.

With time running out and news of Ryan’s survival likely spreading, Dustin had no patience for beating around the bush.

“Did you come for the oasis as well?” Ryan’s pupils constricted, a sudden surge of fear evident on his face. He seemed to be recalling something unsettling.

“That’s right. You’re the only person to ever walk out alive from that oasis, and we need to know the details. That was why I saved you.

“Plus, if you provide valuable information, we’ll reward you generously,” said Dustin.

“Don’t go in there… Never go inside … It’s incredibly dangerous. There are monsters that devour people everywhere!”

Something seemed to have triggered Ryan, and he grew increasingly agitated. He covered his head, trembled, and screamed, appearing like someone pushed to insanity.

Dustin and Grace exchanged a concerned glance. What could possibly be hidden inside that oasis to induce such a reaction from a talented disciple of the Arcane Path Guild?
