Chapter 144: Are All Blue Star People as Amazing as Liang He?

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Are All Blue Star People as Amazing as Liang He?

As soon as the Federation discovered the Fierce Beast virus developed by the Rebel Army, they formed a professional team to study it. Unfortunately, despite extensive research, they had yet to find an effective solution.

"Hello, Miss Liang He. I am a member of the team responsible for researching the Fierce Beast virus." Provoked by Liang He’s shocking statement, someone who could no longer sit still spoke up. "Since we began studying the Fierce Beast virus, we have tried various methods to combat it. How can you be so sure that your method will work?"

"I’m not sure." Faced with the question, Liang He did not blindly claim success. Instead, she answered with strict caution. "Like I said, I am only providing you with a line of thought. You will need to conduct the specific research yourselves."

Hearing this, the crowd nodded in agreement. Liang He had indeed never guaranteed that she could singlehandedly solve the Fierce Beast virus problem.

"Then, Miss Liang He, what exactly is this method you mentioned?"

Faced with everyone’s intense curiosity and enthusiasm, Liang He didn’t dare keep them in suspense. She quickly shared her thoughts.

"Let’s start with how I incapacitated the Fierce Beasts." Seeing that they had all recorded the acupuncture point diagram in their Light Brains, Liang He began to explain how to quickly strip the creatures of their mobility. "Among the acupoints of beasts, striking these specific spots will cause them to lose their ability to attack for a short period of time."

As she explained, Liang He walked into the cage holding a Fierce Beast, ready to demonstrate in person for a more intuitive understanding.

"Liang He, be careful!"

Fierce Beasts were brutal by nature, and everyone harbored a subconscious fear of them. So when she entered the cage, even knowing that guards were keeping a close eye on the creature and could shoot it dead at a moment’s notice, they couldn’t help but worry. Even if being bitten by a Fierce Beast wouldn’t infect a person with the virus, the sheer physical trauma was enough to be fatal.

"Don’t worry." Facing the concern of President Lucas and the others, Liang He smiled softly, reassuring them. "I’ll demonstrate it now."

In truth, during the battles with the Fierce Beasts earlier today, she had already taught some people how to strike acupoints. Now, this was simply a more precise demonstration. Compared to the novices who had crammed the technique at the last minute, Liang He’s movements were lightning-fast and unerringly accurate. Using the same blade she had wielded in combat, she slammed its hilt viciously into the Fierce Beast’s acupoint. Even if she missed, she would still be in position to instantly slay the creature with the blade.

"ROAR..."

The Fierce Beast, which had been baring its fangs and threatening Liang He, collapsed heavily to the ground in the blink of an eye. No matter how it struggled, it couldn’t get back up to continue attacking her.

Witnessing this, President Lucas couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement. This truly defied common sense. Much like the beast acupoint diagram, it was entirely unheard of and unseen before.

"This is incredible! I’ve never seen anyone handle a Fierce Beast so easily!"

"What exactly is the principle behind this? I’ve studied zoology for years and have never heard of such a method. How did Liang He discover it?"

"I learned this move from Miss Liang He today. Let me tell you, taking down Fierce Beasts is super fast and incredibly satisfying!"

The primary targets of Fierce Beasts were Beastmen. However, when the Rebel Army launched assaults with tens of thousands of them in their Fierce Beast Army, those unable to reach Beastmen would turn their aggression toward regular humans and ordinary animals, making direct confrontation unavoidable.

Before this, the Federation Army had always resorted to killing them on the spot with firearms, or using blades when weapons and ammo ran short. Every skirmish resulted in numerous bite injuries, with severe cases proving life-threatening. But after learning Liang He’s method of striking the Fierce Beasts’ vital points, they could drop entire crowds of creatures in moments while remaining completely unscathed. That feeling was simply unbeatable!

"For the exact principles, you might need to consult professionals from Blue Star. I only know how to attack; my grasp of the theory is mediocre."

Every profession had its specialty. Liang He didn’t mind exposing her shortcomings, nor did she want to hoard all the credit. This was wisdom passed down by Blue Star’s ancestors; she was merely putting it to use.

"So, do all Blue Star people know this move?"

Liang He’s words piqued the curiosity of many. If all Blue Star people were as formidable as she was, it would finally explain how Blue Star had managed to join the Federation in such a short period of time.

"...Not exactly."

"I see. What a pity."

Hearing her response, the crowd was inevitably a little disappointed. If all Blue Star people were this capable, they might have a way to deal with the Rebel Army and permanently solve their current dilemma.

Although Blue Star placed great importance on the heritage of Traditional Chinese Medicine, mastering it required innate talent. Furthermore, in an era of rapid progress across all fields, people’s interests varied wildly, and no one could be forced to learn it.

"In summary, those acupoints are my method for neutralizing Fierce Beasts and stripping them of their attack capabilities."

Looking at the motionless Fierce Beast collapsed on the ground, had it not been for the rising and falling of its chest indicating it was still breathing, many would have mistakenly believed that Liang He had simply killed it and was now blowing smoke about acupoints.

"Now, let me share my ideas on how to cure the virus inside the Fierce Beasts."

She had finally reached the crucial point. The crowd reined in their emotions, staring at Liang He with rapt attention. If it weren’t for the heavy darkness outside, their vibrant energy might have made someone mistake it for broad daylight. This enthusiasm largely stemmed from the fact that they had failed far too many times in their research of the Fierce Beast virus, hitting dead ends with zero progress.

If there was truly a way to cure the virus, it would mean the Rebel Army could no longer use the Fierce Beasts as leverage against the Federation.

"The approach I have in mind is still rooted in Blue Star’s Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Liang He’s motivation was much simpler than theirs. She merely didn’t want to see any more animals persecuted by the Rebel Army. After all, they were living, breathing lives, and were among the protagonists of this world.

"Traditional Chinese Medicine utilizes various plants—known as herbal medicines—to concoct medicinal soups or pills, primarily aiming to improve the body from the inside out."

Unlike Western medicine, which often treated the symptoms rather than the root cause by simply cutting out whatever was diseased, herbal medicine worked slower but targeted the fundamental source of the illness. If the right remedy was applied to the specific symptoms, it could yield miraculous results.

"In addition to that, there is acupuncture, which is closely tied to acupoints. It’s said that during the peak of Traditional Chinese Medicine, resurrecting the dead and growing flesh on bare bones was entirely possible. Of course, that might just be an exaggeration."

Liang He had actually only heard rumors. Her understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine wasn’t very deep; everything she knew was strictly geared toward lethal techniques.

"Resurrecting the dead and growing flesh on bare bones? Are you serious?!"

"That’s impossible. It doesn’t sound reliable at all..."

"But these two methods Liang He mentioned are indeed things we haven’t tried. It’s a completely fresh perspective."

"We’ve failed so many times already anyway. Giving it another try wouldn’t hurt."

Discussions broke out across the room. A small minority felt Liang He was exaggerating and spouting nonsense, but the vast majority believed that even if it was exaggerated, it didn’t mean the methods would be ineffective. Trying might not guarantee success, but refusing to try guaranteed failure.

"Next, I will demonstrate the application of Traditional Chinese Medicine on animals."
