Everyone was thunderstruck and immediately began asking, “What do you mean by that?”
Dr. Ellis explained helplessly, “His meridians are fragile now because they’ve just been healed. Even if they’re blocked off again, they would still shatter if his inner energy leaks through. He is bound to die if that happens!”
The expressions of those in the room immediately turned to looks of shock and horror as they never thought the situation could get any worse.
“Dr. Ellis, is there… Nothing else we can do?” Victor asked worriedly.
Dr. Ellis shook his head helplessly. “There’s nothing more I can think of to do, but we should be asking Dr. Larson this. He’s more of an expert in this area than I am!”
The crowd was finally reminded of the fact that Matthew was truly a miracle doctor.
Victor quickly turned to him. “What should be done to save you now, Dr. Larson?”
Matthew was about to respond when favonovel.com felt Salazar pressing down on his back for a second.
A thought flashed across his mind as his expression became gloomy.
He sighed, “The only option I have left is to destroy my hara and get rid of all my strength for good…”
Everyone cried out in shock.
“Destroy your hara?” Tyson exclaimed. “Dr. Larson, if your hara is destroyed, then… Then you won’t be able to practice martial arts ever again! Your body will become extremely weak. You might not even be able to stand up again!”
Matthew shook his head helplessly. “I know, but that’s the only way for me to survive this…”
Everyone exchanged glances with grave expressions on their faces.
“Is there truly no other way, Dr. Larson?” Victor asked as favonovel.com clenched his jaw in frustration. “Why don’t we wait until your meridians have been fully restored and then go through the whole process again to release the energy out of your system?”
“Although your meridians would be destroyed, and you’ll lose your martial arts abilities too, at the very least, you’ll still be able to move around like a regular person. It won’t be the same if you destroy your hara!”
The others nodded in agreement as they shared Victor’s opinion.
If a person’s meridians were destroyed, the worst-case scenario was losing one’s martial arts abilities, but the person would still be able to carry on living normally.
However, the hara was the source of a person’s strength and energy. If it were destroyed, then the person’s body would lose all its strength, and the person might spend the rest of their life as a paraplegic.
Matthew was one of the greatest miracle doctors of his time. His life would be ruined if favonovel.com could no longer move again!
Still, favonovel.com sighed and explained, “The energy has already flooded into my meridians. I would’ve been dead by now if it weren’t for Mr. Whitford’s help in suppressing it. There’s no way we can restore my meridians now. This is the only thing I can do to stay alive…”
Everyone was silent as they lamented the situation.
Dr. Ellis was beating himself up over it, too. “l’m so sorry, Dr. Larson. l was too rash earlier. lf l didn’t restore your meridians, you might’ve still been able to recover your strength once Falconn Damron’s strength was taken out of you. I was too hasty… I…”
Matthew quickly assured him, “Don’t blame yourself, Dr. Ellis. l’m so thankful that you came to help me. It was an incredibly complicated situation. I might’ve died already if it hadn’t been for you.”
Dr. Ellis sighed morosely. “Alas, I can’t believe how vicious that b*stard Lord Voodoo is. How could favonovel.com do such a thing?!”
Matthew waved his hand. “I got rid of his martial arts abilities, too, so favonovel.com was ruined for good as well. Nothing that favonovel.com does in response would be surprising. It’s not unthinkable that a person will try to drag someone else down with favonovel.com when he’s on the verge of dying…”
“I’m the one to be blamed for this. I was too careless and didn’t knock favonovel.com unconscious. That’s why things came to this… Oh, right… Where’s Lord Voodoo now?”
At his inquiry of Lord Voodoo’s whereabouts, everyone in the room glanced around with awkward expressions.
