Chapter 790 Treatment
"It seems that you had a good sleep." Old Ru"s eyebrows were twitching.
After all, he could see a sign of fatigue on both of their faces. It looked like Noel and Anna barely slept last night.
"You were ignoring me the entire night. To think you didn"t sleep!" Anna glared at Noel.
"I"m busy thinking about a lot of stuff unlike you!" Noel snorted.
"What did you say?" In the end, both of them glared at each other.
"Enough!" Old Ru gnashed his teeth, wanting to smack their heads. On the one hand, he didn"t particularly mind their relationship, especially since the previous life"s Noel actually told him that he would bring someone here, so Anna should be very important to him. On the other hand, they were exhausted from clearing the nest, so he wanted them to sleep to recover their stamina.
"…" Noel and Anna looked away, not being able to say anything since Old Ru had gotten angry.
"I don"t care what you two are doing as long as it"s not too disturbing. However, I have to say one thing… We"re going to proceed with the treatment. Since you"re the one who can use Force Control, then you"re going to do it. I"ll just help you with my knowledge about Force Control as well as the True Spirit Body." Old Ru pointed at Noel. "In other words, if something happens because of your fatigue, you know who to blame."
"I know." Noel nodded with a serious expression.
"Alright then." Old Ru turned to Anna. "For now, sit down on the bed and let your back face Noel."
"Do I need to take off my clothes?" Anna frowned.
"Just the part where your Spirit Seal is. That"s where the injuries are concentrated and if we want to channel the Spiritual Energy, it"s better through your Spirit Seal." Old Ru explained.
"I understand." Anna agreed. It wasn"t that taking off her clothes was a problem. In fact, Noel had been playing with her to the point she was too tired to get embarra.s.sed when seen by Noel. It was just that Old Ru was different.
Although she knew that Old Ru was not a human, it didn"t change the fact that he looked like one because he didn"t have his sh.e.l.l anymore.
Since she had agreed, Anna immediately sat down on the bed and lifted up her shirt, showing the Spirit Seal on her waist.
"Here I go." Noel then sat down next to her and placed his hand on Anna"s Spirit Seal. He closed his eyes to concentrate.
"Can you feel her Spiritual Energy? The one inside her body."
It was no wonder why Old Ru used this spot to start as well. Since the Spirit Seal was the connection between her and her spirit, it was clear that there would be a concentrated Spiritual Energy in this area.
Noel could easily feel this numbing Spiritual Energy. However, there was something else that looked different.
When he focused on the Spiritual Energy around the Spirit Seal, he could feel fluctuation as if it was trying to guide him somewhere.
By using Force Control, he tried to move his consciousness toward the direction where it led him.
To his surprise, the more he ventured inside, the b.u.mpier the road. It felt like he was being tripped all over again.
There was one more reason why Noel didn"t have much sleep. Even though he used the system to increase the Force Control mastery, it didn"t change the fact that he didn"t have experience in using it.
So, he had been experimenting with it with his own body. However, when he tried to move around inside his body, everything went so smoothly.
Hence, it was clear that the b.u.mpy road was actually her damaged veins. It was surprising that she had been living with this kind of damage in her body.
Noel took a deep breath, bracing his heart. He didn"t know where this fluctuation was leading him, but he knew it must be important. In fact, he suspected that this fluctuation of energy was her spirit trying to help her.
So, Noel kept following its movement for three minutes, causing Anna and Old Ru to be confused.
"Noel?" Anna furrowed her eyebrows, wondering if he couldn"t find anything at all. Even Old Ru thought that Noel should be able to sense it.
Unfortunately for them, Noel was completely absorbed by the movement. It turned out the fluctuation was leading him to a severed vein. Noel could feel that he couldn"t move forward because there was an emptiness in front of him. If he continued, he didn"t know where he would go.
It seemed that the spirit was trying to let him repair it first.
To his surprise, the fluctuation was actually moving by itself to attach the severed vein. It was holding the other tip and joined it with the one Noel was currently on.
After it was ready, it once again fluctuated, signaling Noel to begin.
Noel recalled the knowledge about Force Control before asking, "Old Ru. How does a Spirit Grandmaster recover from their injury? How do they utilize their Spiritual Energy to do that?"
"It"s to envelop every little thing with Spiritual Energy. It"s not about enveloping your entire body with Spiritual Energy and calling it a day. You have to focus on each injury like the blood, the vein, the bone and other things. You wrap them individually, and the Spiritual Energy will evoke natural regeneration." Old Ru answered albeit he didn"t know why Noel suddenly asked this question.
However, Noel focused back on the vein and tried to move the Spiritual Energy. Each vein contained a lot of Spiritual Energy, considering it was the Spirit Vein. So, he used the Spiritual Energy from the vein itself and wrapped the two parts.
As this mysterious energy held both of them together in one place, he could easily maintain his control around the severed vein. After a while, Noel could feel the vein acting like a sprout. It was growing at a very slow speed, but he could feel that they were moving toward each other.
Once they reached each other, the growing parts entangled to form a strong bond. That bond would be the foundation of the repair.
The longer he observed, the more parts grew and became entangled with each other.
From one string to a few strings, Noel could witness this level of detail. Once the strings completely formed enough support, the mysterious energy stopped holding it together and watched Noel do the rest.
It remained on Noel"s side the whole time, watching over him.
Noel couldn"t say anything in this state, but he could feel the genuine care this mysterious energy had.
Noel kept working on it, making sure there was no energy spilled. Everything would be completed once the vein was completely attached with no holes in it.
Yes, the b.u.mpy road he took earlier was the vein filled with holes. There was Spiritual Energy leaking through those holes. It must be hard for Anna to control her Spiritual Energy with this level of damage to her veins.
And this was only one vein, there were numerous veins inside her body.
After a while, Noel could feel that it had fully reattached. Even the mysterious energy fluctuated to tell him that he had completed his job and thanked him.
It seemed that the mysterious energy wanted to lead him to another place, which was supposed to be the severed veins like this. Her spirit must want to fix those parts first before treating the remaining holes.
But before he could go to another place, Noel returned to the outside first. He let out a breath of relief and asked, "How did you feel?"
He didn"t know if Anna was silent or not the whole time since his focus was completely locked on the vein. However, one thing was for sure. The treatment was effective.
Anna had a dumbfounded face as if she was looking at a lunatic. Even Old Ru couldn"t believe it. He hadn"t told Noel anything, yet, he already proceeded to finish it.
"It seems that you can do the rest. For now, I"ll be watching from the side to make sure that nothing goes wrong. After a while, I"ll leave you two alone," said Old Ru in astonishment.
"Understood." Noel nodded.
"I could feel that my vein is being repaired… No, more like it"s being reattached. How did you feel inside me?" Anna asked.
"Your words can be completely misinterpreted." Noel shook his head. "But it seems that your spirit is guiding me to the most damaged area. I"m going to reattach your severed veins first. Then, I"ll treat the remaining damage… So, how long did it take? I could feel that the air is slightly warmer."
"One hour," Anna answered.
"One hour, huh… It"s quite long." Noel thought for a moment. "Well, I will try to reattach all the severed veins first, I guess. Then, we can proceed with the agreed schedule."
Anna looked at Noel mysteriously. He didn"t know when Noel actually learned this, but it was clear that he had practiced so much since he could do something like this on his first try. "Thank—"
"Say that after I finish treating you." Noel harrumphed before closing his eyes again.
Anna made a wry smile, but she was truly grateful.
