Molly numbly said, “My stomach hurts today, let’s compete another day.”
Kendal laughed boisterously, his disdain more apparent, “What did I say?”
“Molly is just a coward! Useless!”
Flynn looked at Molly, disappointed, “You’re hopeless. Don’t talk about revenge anymore, just live an ordinary life.”
Rose frowned, “Flynn, you’re being too harsh. If Miss George doesn’t want to compete, don’t force her.”
Flynn retorted, “Am I wrong? If she can’t even face a Semi-Grandmaster, how will she face stronger opponents in the future?”
“No! No! No!” Tears streamed down Molly’s face as she yelled, “I’m not a coward, not useless!”
“Why can’t you believe me just once? I really have a stomach ache, it really hurts!”
Kendal raised an eyebrow and sneered, “So the junior sister is having her period again, huh? Isn’t your medical skill supposed to be amazing? Why haven’t you cured it yet?”
“Oh! That’s right, even our master couldn’t cure it, you’re even less likely to.”
“It’s actually good this way. If you lose to someone else later, you can use this as an excuse.”
Seeing Kendal mock her like this, Molly’s already pale face turned even paler, her forehead drenched in sweat, her body trembling with pain as if she would collapse any second.
Flynn was taken aback, his gaze falling on Molly’s pocket.
It bulged slightly, with the corner of a pad peeking out.
She was having her period, and it was severe.
“Since the scourge is ill, I won’t waste my time here anymore, Ms. Sharp. I’ll find time to call Mr. Goff out in the next few days, hope you can make it on time!”
Kendal glanced at Molly and snorted lightly, intending to leave.
However, at that moment.
Flynn suddenly placed one hand on Molly’s lower abdomen and pressed down on her back, then, like an elder smacking a child, he slapped Molly’s buttocks vigorously.
“Smack! Smack! Smack!”
Molly groaned, her sweatpants quivering under the loud and crisp sound.
After a dozen smacks, in the shocked gaze of three women, Flynn pinched Molly’s waist a few times.
Then his hand moved like a swimming dragon, pressing upwards along her spine.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
Molly’s spine popped like firecrackers.
Finally, Flynn’s hand circled her lower abdomen three times.
“See what I mean, Ms. Sharp? Flynn is a no-good, taking advantage of Molly’s weakness!” Kendal said with disgust.
Rose was also stunned, unsure why Flynn did that.
“Scumbag! Rogue! I’ll kill you!” Molly, after being straightened up by Flynn, her face flushed red, swung a punch at him.
Flynn caught Molly’s hand and nodded, “That should do it, otherwise you wouldn’t have this strength.”
Molly was startled.
Suddenly, she felt no pain in her stomach, and a warm flow seemed to move through her, filling her body with strength.
“It really… doesn’t hurt anymore!” Molly exclaimed in shock.
Rose’s face was full of astonishment.
She knew Flynn could heal, but this method of treatment was new to her.
A few smacks on the buttocks, a pinch on the waist, and a rub on the abdomen – and it was done?
It was miraculous!
Kendal was also taken aback, then sneered, “Flynn just wants you to compete with me, he’ll stoop to anything!”
“It seems he won’t be satisfied until he sees you make a fool of yourself!”
Molly looked at Kendal with a frown, “What do you mean?”
Kendal replied lightly, “The pain during menstruation is caused by cold coagulating and blood stagnation. The qi sea and guan yuan on the lower abdomen, the ring strong acupoints on the buttocks, and the eight crevices on the waist, massaging these acupoints can indeed alleviate the cold in the womb.”
“But this method draws the essence from the dantian to warm the womb, your next period will be unbearable!”
Molly’s face grew serious.
Kendal was right, the essence of the dantian belongs to yang, which is effective against cold in the womb.
But the dantian is the sea of qi, its essence too vigorous, can cause irreversible damage to the womb.
Drawing the dantian’s essence to treat the cold in the womb is like quenching thirst with poison!
“I didn’t touch those acupoints, nor did I draw the dantian’s essence to treat the cold in the womb.”
“Ever heard of the Red Phoenix Needle Technique? That’s what I just used!” Flynn said casually.
“Red Phoenix Needle Technique?” Kendal scoffed, “That technique is indeed mentioned in ancient medical texts, highly effective against cold coagulation and blood stagnation, especially in gynecological diseases, literally curing the disease with needles!”
“Too bad it’s been lost for six hundred years. You couldn’t possibly know this technique.”
“Besides, that involves acupuncture, I didn’t see you using needles, just touching Molly’s behind.”
Flynn shrugged, “I don’t need needles, my fingers can treat such minor ailments.”
“And, for the record, I was smacking her buttocks, not touching!”
Kendal snorted disdainfully, “Smacking or touching, what’s the difference? Just sophistry!”
Turning to Rose, he continued, “Ms. Sharp, listen to what he’s saying. Fingers can treat such ailments? That’s utterly preposterous!”
Rose remained silent.
A month ago, she would have agreed with Kendal, never believing a word from Flynn.
But having witnessed several miracles, she could no longer doubt him.
“Flynn, no need to explain further, I forgive you this time, but if you dare to make another move, I’ll kill you!” Molly said coldly.
The Red Phoenix Needle Technique had been lost for six hundred years, it couldn’t possibly reemerge, and using fingers as needles was even more absurd.
Molly didn’t believe Flynn’s words.
“Making a move?” Flynn couldn’t help but become annoyed, “It’s one thing for Kendal to misunderstand, but you too?”
“I helped you open Dragon Ridge and cured your illness, yet in your eyes, I’m taking advantage?”
Kendal chuckled coldly after hearing this, “Alright then! Endless excuses! From curing diseases to opening Dragon Ridge! Let me tell you, not even if she took an immortality pill could she beat me!”
“Useless will always be useless!”
Molly’s expression chilled, and her eyes sparked with cold electricity, “Kendal, for the sake of our master, I don’t want to argue with you, but don’t push your luck!”
“You want my life, right?”
“Let’s settle this today, life or death!”
Molly stepped forward, kicking up a cloud of dust.
She leapt into the air, spinning, and unleashed a fierce gust of wind with her swing.
“You’re overestimating yourself!” Kendal stepped back with his right leg, bent his left, and raised both arms in front of his chest to block the punch.
“Bang!”
Molly’s kick slammed down, forcing Kendal to kneel on one knee.
“What’s going on? How could her Inner Strength be so fierce?!” Kendal’s mind thundered with shock.
In their previous five encounters, Kendal had been able to withstand Molly’s attacks without moving.
This time, Molly’s kick had him kneeling!
Molly was equally astonished, a sharp light flashing in her eyes.
For the first time, she had gained the upper hand over Kendal.
Remembering the past humiliations from Kendal, Molly’s eyes grew icy, and she swung her foot towards Kendal’s neck.
This kick was even more powerful, with the force of a thousand pounds. Though it lacked the power of a dragon or elephant, it was not something an ordinary person could withstand.
Kendal hurriedly raised his arms to block.
“Bang!”
After a loud noise, Kendal’s arm throbbed painfully, and he was forced down to the ground.
Molly was stunned.
Looking at Kendal on the ground, she couldn’t believe it.
In their previous five contests, she could barely withstand five moves.
But now, not only had she not been defeated, she had beaten Kendal in just two moves!
Molly then turned to Flynn, her expression a mix of complexity and shock.
Could her victory be the result of opening Dragon Ridge?
