The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1643 - 1646: The Eastern Perseus?

The other three students from Jiajiu University heard Xu Hao's words and, with Bazil's permission, immediately carried the patient, whose entire body was extraordinarily rigid, to the hospital bed.

Bazil explained on the side, "This is a patient with progressive muscle ossification disease. A person suffering from this ailment gradually has their entire muscles and tendons turn into bones until all the joints in their body can't move. It's a very rare disease, with only about six hundred cases identified worldwide so far.

Patients with this disease have all their muscles turn into bones, as if they possess a second set of bones. They'll become a living statue with blood and flesh, unable to move ever again."

Hearing Bazil's introduction, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

This was just too terrifying, wasn't it?

No one expected such a disease to exist in the world. How could this be called a disease? It seemed more like someone cursed by a sorcerer!

"According to legend in the Western mythological system, there's a deity named Medusa who can turn people to stone with a single glance. Could it be that this brother here is cursed by Medusa?"

"In the legends, Medusa was slain by Zeus's son, Perseus. If Xu Hao can cure this person who has turned into a living statue, can Doctor Xu be called the Eastern Perseus?" a netizen from the Western World asked.

"Hahaha! That statement is not bad. If Doctor Xu can cure this person, then he is indeed the Eastern Perseus!"

Netizens boldly discussed various things about Xu Hao, while Xu Hao himself furrowed his brow in contemplation.

Even though he had long known of this condition, seeing the person still left him utterly shocked.

On this patient, Xu Hao indeed sensed an extremely feeble force that completely bound the person, rendering them utterly unable to break free.

It was a very sinister force!

After seeing the online discussions, Xu Hao smiled slightly. Although people's guesses were interesting, they weren't realistic. Medusa, Perseus, and Zeus are just deities from Greek mythology with no real presence or credibility.

Nevertheless, Xu Hao could feel that this person seemed indeed bound by some mysterious force, as if cursed by a technique.

The Curse Technique, however magical, was not completely unknown to Xu Hao. To put it simply, this technique relies on some miraculous natural force, forming seals in one's technique to manipulate that natural force for harm.

This technique was particularly popular in the central southern regions of Asia, and regardless of its authenticity, as long as someone claimed to know it and put on a convincing act, they could attract a huge following.

A very few among them indeed knew the Curse Technique, but in the eyes of ultimate powers like Xu Hao, it was nothing more than a minor path.

For their protective qi energy could completely isolate any curse technique from that area!

Xu Hao took a deep breath and placed his hand on the patient's temple.

After a brief exploration, Xu Hao immediately began taking out the Silver Needles, performing the Defying Heaven Nine Needles' second needle—The Second Needle Death!

He intended to eradicate that mysterious power of the curse!

Very quickly, Xu Hao used the powerful acupuncture power to drive that almost imperceptible power of the curse to the patient's temple, extracting it and encapsulating it with a cluster of qi force.

Just as Xu Hao thought the deed was done, a sudden change occurred!

That extremely fine, light gray power of the curse pierced through the encapsulating qi force, rushing straight toward Xu Hao's temple!

Xu Hao snorted coldly and raised his hand, forming a Binding Array with as many as twelve strands of Bloodline Power to firmly entrap it.

This scene happened incredibly fast, before anyone else could react, it was already completed.

Seeing the golden light cluster the size of a fingernail at the tip of Xu Hao's right index finger, Bazil curiously asked, "Doctor Xu, this thing in your hand is..."

"No comment."

Xu Hao replied flatly, "I have already cured this patient's progressive muscle ossification disease."

"What?!"

They were stunned for a moment. How could it be cured so quickly?

This time, Xu Hao showed no sign of profuse sweating, making them think he might have failed the treatment.

Hume immediately stood up, looking at the patient with progressive muscle ossification disease, and said, "Xu Hao, are you lying with your eyes open? There's clearly no change in him, and you claim to have cured him? Don't joke around, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't fool us!"

Xu Hao glanced at Hume, then chuckled lightly, "I didn't expect you to have the courage to stand up and speak to me, interesting. It seems you really hate me! But what you said is redundant because I really have cured him, so you don't need to worry about it."
