Chapter 341: Chapter 338: Acupuncture Bronze Man (Third Update! Seeking Recommendations!)_1
For Old Jin, acupuncture was a strength of his.
Indeed, for Ren Feifan, it could be considered a weakness.
However, this so-called weakness was relative— he might seem less potent than the heaven and earth, but he didn’t think he could be inferior to an ordinary man.
Acupuncture was the first thing Ren Feifan began to learn when he started his inheritance.
The Thirteen Deadly Needles.
Although it’s called the "Thirteen Deadly Needles," it isn’t simply thirteen needles, but thirteen sets of needle techniques, each capable of treating specific ailments with exceptional effects.
Since embarking on his path of cultivation, Ren Feifan had seldom used the Thirteen Deadly Needles. Yet, his skill remained well-honed.
Jin Changwen smirked to himself, feeling no sense of joy in winning against an outsider, but triumphing over this youth would inevitably taint the reputation of Old Huang because Old Huang was the one who brought him along.
How delightful, how delightful!
After a long pause, he regained his composure and said seriously, "A true acupuncture saint not only requires a profound understanding of acupuncture but also solid fundamental skills.
Everyone present knows that in the application of acupuncture, five factors must be ensured: audacity, attentiveness, quick hands, precision, and steadiness. Since we are going to compete, it’s not practical to use a living person as the subject due to potential risks. Therefore, let’s use the Gold Needle Bronze Man that my Jin family developed for practice."
Gold Needle Bronze Man?
Ren Feifan slightly furrowed his brow. Despite having received the inheritance of the Medical Saint, he had never heard of anything like the Gold Needle Bronze Man.
Seeing Ren Feifan’s confusion, Jin Changwen explained, "The Gold Needle Bronze Man is a small anatomical model for needle practice. It was innovatively developed by my Jin family’s ancestors. It has a remarkable effect. Please wait a moment; I’ve already sent a disciple to bring it."
Indeed, about three minutes later, two men appeared carrying two bronze statues about a meter tall.
After placing the Bronze Men on the ground, they completed their task, chuckling, "Master, the Gold Needle Bronze Men have arrived."
Jin Changwen nodded and said to both of them, "You two may leave now. Make sure to carefully observe my needling technique and every movement. If you can understand, you might realize the fundamentals of acupuncture."
His words seemed pompous, but everyone else gave Jin Changwen the thumbs up.
Only the King of Needles in Jiangnan had the right to say this.
Meanwhile, Ren Feifan just sneered to himself.
Are you so sure you’re going to win?
I’m sorry, in Ren Feifan’s world, there’s no such thing as losing.
After giving instructions, Jin Changwen explained the game to Ren Feifan, "The ancestral Gold Needle Bronze Man of my Jin family has countless small holes on its surface, each representing an acupoint on the human body. Once a silver needle is inserted and the acupoint is precise, while taking the required force into account, the special liquid inside will flow out under pressure and fill the tiny water box at the Bronze Man’s feet.
The level of the liquid in the water box determines the skill level in acupuncture—the fuller it is, the better one’s acupuncture is.
Within a specified time, the person whose water box fills the most will win. What do you think?"
"Fine." After a brief contemplation, Ren Feifan had understood how to use this Bronze Man and agreed.
He had to admit, the ancestors of Jin Changwen were truly ingenious—practicing acupuncture on this kind of Bronze Men was much easier.
"We’ll have twenty seconds. Do you have silver needles, or should we prepare some for you?" Jin Changwen taunted.
"No need."
"Good. Old Huang, you will start the clock and keep time."
Jin handover the responsibility to Old Huang as he didn’t think Huang would cheat for the boy.
Even if he would cheat, how exactly could he?
Old Huang took the stopwatch, looked at Ren Feifan with worry, and gave a long sigh when he saw that the youth showed no response. He forcefully pressed the stopwatch and shouted, "Begin!"
The stopwatch immediately started ticking swiftly.
As soon as Old Huang’s words fell, Jin Changwen slapped the table hard, causing the silver needles to fly into the air. His hands fluttered in the air continuously.
Despite his wrinkled, old hands, they did not deter the beauty of the scene at all!
Like imbued with life, the silver needles, under the command of Jin Changwen’s hands, precisely hit several acupoints on the Gold Needle Bronze Man in the next second!
This was a secret needle method of the Jin family, also known as "Wagging Tail of Silver Needle".
This technique required multiple needles operating in unison—demanding high physical fitness and sophisticated execution from the needler.
The current performance of Jin Changwen had left everyone impressed with his superior speed.
The spectators simply saw Jin Changwen’s fingers waving in the air, and then a multitude of silver lights flashed past and accurately landed on the various holes of the Gold Needle Bronze Man.
The liquid inside the Bronze Man started flowing, and the small water tank beneath the Bronze Man filled up more and more.
"Good!" Liu Shijie was the first to flatter.
"Old Jin’s signature technique is indeed strong! Now I understand why there is only one King of Needles in Jiangnan Province!" An onlooking elder proclaimed.
"Indeed, Old Jin is as good as his reputation suggests. However, why hasn’t that idiot moved? Has he given up?" Suddenly someone noticed Ren Feifan.
At that moment, Ren Feifan had his eyes slightly closed, his aura somewhat elusive.
Old Huang began to panic a bit. Even if Master Ren was confident, he shouldn’t be doing this. Five seconds had already passed, the fluid in the opponent’s Bronze Man has already flowed quite a bit, the small water tank was already one-fifth full, but Ren Feifan hadn’t moved at all!
In roughly one second, Jin Changwen shot out three needles. His speed was formidable!
Even Old Huang had to admit that Jin Changwen’s achievements in acupuncture were unmatched.
Had Master Ren really given up?
Even Old Master Zhu, who was standing at a distance, narrowed his eyebrows.
Was this one-sided competition going to end so lamely?
Suddenly, Ren Feifan opened his eyes. Between his fingers, he held a silver needle that glittered with chilling light.
Old Huang’s eyes widened in shock. Could it be, Master Ren only planned to use only one silver needle?
Even if Ren Feifan was powerful and fast, there was no way he was to beat Jin Changwen with one single needle.
Unless Master Ren could prick dozens of needles in a second! But that was physically impossible!
As an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner who had been dipping into acupuncture for decades, Old Huang believed that Master Ren had given up.
All of this was just futile struggling at the edge of dying.
Winning over Jin Changwen with a single needle, that would require a miracle.
All of a sudden, everyone felt the energy in the room change. A surge of coldness poured in.
Everybody turned their gaze to Ren Feifan simultaneously and saw him focusing all his energy, holding a silver needle in his hand. With lightning speed, he targeted and pierced an acupoint on the Bronze Man.
So quick that only a shadow could be seen!
Fast, accurate, ruthless.
The entire process was seamless, leaving Old Huang staring in admiration!
However, the speed was still insufficient!
Just as Old Huang expressed his astonishment, he suddenly found that Ren Feifan seemed to have stopped moving again!
He looked at the Gold Needle Bronze Man as if he had been petrified.
At this moment, Old Huang was dumbfounded, Liu Shijie was panic-stricken, Master Zhu was shocked, and everyone in the room was stunned.
The young man just had such a beautiful needle piercing moment ago. Why didn’t he continue?
It had been ten seconds, and only half of the time was left. Jin Changwen’s Bronze Man was making splashing sounds as its water tank was filling up!
Time was running out at this critical juncture, and Ren Feifan was zoning out. What was going on!
Even if he was bound to lose, he should lose honorably!
Everyone cast a disdainful glance at Ren Feifan.
Although Jin Changwen was rapidly waving his fingers, his peripheral vision caught sight of Ren Feifan. Noticing the latter’s daze, he couldn’t help laughing in his heart. The victory in this competition was almost a certainty.
Trash is just trash!
A security guard dares to compete in acupuncture with me, the Top Needle Master of Jiangnan.
Go reincarnate!
