My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Xue Huai Admits Defeat!

Soon, the electroencephalogram (EEG) machine was brought in.

"As everyone knows, if he possesses a single soul—what you would call a neural system—then his brainwaves should only show a single oscillating line. If we observe two lines, it would prove he has a second soul, which means a second neural system. Does everyone agree?" Yang Qi asked.

"Agreed!" the crowd nodded.

They were all practitioners of National Medicine, but in modern society, one had to learn some scientific knowledge. It was all about keeping up with the times.

The EEG test began shortly after. Initially, there was only a single line. However, at a certain moment, the line suddenly split into two. Furthermore, the two lines seemed to be oscillating in completely different ways. One was flat, as if representing death, while the other showed large fluctuations, indicating intense emotion.

Seeing this, many in the audience shot to their feet. They were on the verge of madness. What were they witnessing? This was utterly impossible. How could something so bizarre be happening?

"This can’t be! This can’t be! How can one person have two different sets of brainwaves!" Xue Huai was completely dumbfounded. Not only had he never seen anything like it, he had never even heard of it.

"Before meeting him, I would have thought this was impossible, too. But now, I believe it’s a possibility," Yang Qi said. As a Cultivator, he found it relatively easy to accept such things. The Dragon God Technique included the concept of possession, which was the seizing of another’s body. A Cultivator could take over someone else’s body by either devouring or suppressing their soul. This was extremely similar to the current situation.

But this case seemed more like a failed possession. Not only had the intruding soul become chaotic, but it had also suppressed the host’s original soul. This led to the man’s mental issues, which many doctors would consider a neural disorder. But it wasn’t.

This is even more bizarre than a Gu Insect. I have no idea how to explain it to them.

"Who is the patient’s family member?" Yang Qi suddenly asked.

"I am!" a woman stood up from the audience.

"Let me ask you, has his illness persisted for more than ten years? And when it first started, did his personality suddenly change? Sometimes, would he be talking normally and then suddenly seem like a completely different person?" Yang Qi inquired.

The woman replied, "Yes! That’s right! You’re absolutely correct, Divine Doctor! Twelve years ago, when the illness first manifested, that’s exactly how he was. At the time, we thought he was possessed by evil spirits. We were so scared we even hired a shaman to perform an exorcism, but it was useless. Eventually, although he stopped acting that way, he just became dull and slow-witted."

"Please, Divine Doctor, I beg you to save my son," she pleaded. "He used to be a good student and so obedient. He shouldn’t be like this."

The crowd was stunned. Everything Yang Qi said was true, which seemed utterly absurd. Even the Medicine King’s eyes widened. He had never encountered such an illness. He could explain the previous case with the Gu Insect, but this was simply beyond his comprehension.

"Yang Qi, stop spouting nonsense! Are you a doctor or some Jianghu magician?" Gu Baiyi said fiercely.

"Heh, nonsense? Did I fake those brainwaves? Did I arrange for the patient’s mother to say those things beforehand?" Yang Qi retorted with a sneer.

Gu Baiyi was suddenly at a loss for words. As Yang Qi pointed out, despite how absurd it seemed, that ludicrous scene might just be the truth.

Seeing Gu Baiyi fall silent, Yang Qi continued, "Proving something this preposterous would not be easy, but that isn’t our focus today. The priority is to heal the patient."

"Can you really cure him, Divine Doctor?" the patient’s mother asked excitedly.

"Of course I can!" Yang Qi said confidently. "I can’t explain the principles clearly, so just think of it as your son being possessed by a foul entity. I am now going to remove this foul entity, and your son will be able to return to normal."

"Why don’t you hold a religious ceremony while you’re at it? Maybe invite a high monk?" Gu Lingshan jeered.

Yang Qi paid no mind to his mockery. The people around them also remained silent, waiting for Yang Qi to treat the patient.

Once again, Yang Qi condensed his Qi into needles. He inserted them into several acupoints on top of the patient’s head. This was a very dangerous procedure, and many people watched with extreme tension. Only Gu Lingshan, Gu Baiyi, and their ilk were hoping for Yang Qi to fail and kill the patient. They cared nothing for the patient’s life or death, only about victory.

In truth, treating this condition wasn’t difficult. The world of Cultivators acknowledged the existence of souls, and Yang Qi’s Heavenly Eye could see them. All he had to do was extinguish the invading soul.

After about ten minutes, Yang Qi took a deep breath and withdrew the Golden Needles.

A flicker of life returned to the patient’s previously dull eyes.

After a long moment, he gazed around in a daze, and then his eyes landed on his mother. "Mom, why do you look so much older? I feel like I was possessed by something. I was watching my own body but couldn’t control it. I fought it for control, but I lost. Am I dead?"

"Congratulations, you’ve recovered," Yang Qi said with a smile. "Your struggle gravely wounded the foul entity that possessed you. Otherwise, no one could have saved you."

At that moment, the entire audience was stunned. Regardless of whether Yang Qi’s explanation was correct, the fact remained that under his Golden Needles, the patient had stood up and returned to normal. He had far surpassed Xue Huai. How could this not prove that Yang Qi was more skilled?

"Quick! Get him a medical examination, especially a brain scan!" the judging panel ordered.

Soon, the results came back. Aside from some mental fatigue, the patient was completely normal. His brainwaves had also returned to a single, stable line.

"Mr. Yang, you truly are a Divine Doctor!" the patient’s mother cried, her tears flowing freely. She had thought all hope was lost and had only come to the National Medicine Conference to try her luck. She never imagined it would actually be successful. Her child, ill for twelve long years, was finally cured. Although twelve years of his youth were lost, it was infinitely better than continuing to live in a stupor.

Many in the crowd rose to their feet, giving Yang Qi a round of applause.

Even Xue Huai was completely convinced. His earlier mockery and sarcasm had been replaced by pure admiration and shock. For a young man in his twenties to cure such an absurd case was simply miraculous.

"I have lost!" Xue Huai admitted defeat voluntarily. "From now on, I will curb my impatience and begin my studies anew!" freewebnovёl.ƈom

Before leaving the stage, he gave Yang Qi a respectful bow. Perhaps this defeat would spur him on to greater achievements in the future.

With Xue Huai’s concession, Yang Qi officially won the acupuncture contest. This round had been more spectacular than any of the previous ones. Not only was it a contest between real masters, but two strange and difficult cases had been cured in the process, showcasing Yang Qi’s incredible skill to everyone present.
