Chapter 49

First, systematic anatomy is the science that explains the morphological structures of the human body according to the functional systems of its organs. It is an important foundational course in medical science. Human anatomy can be divided into systematic anatomy, regional anatomy, and sectional anatomy. Systematic anatomy is the most fundamental and essential branch, often hailed as the foundation of all basic medical courses.

At this time, the Ba Central Tribe, under the leadership of chieftains Pu Hu, Du Huo, and Ren Yue, had already submitted to Cao Shuo. Cao Shuo appointed Pu Hu as the Administrator of Eastern Ba, Du Huo as the Administrator of Western Ba, and Ren Yue as the Administrator of Central Ba. Hanchang was located at a strategic corner of Dangqu, making it a crucial point for the Cao army’s supply of grain and provisions to Ba Central.

Yet, as Sima Guangguang spoke these words, he remained perplexed. Why was there no reaction? Could it be that this person had no thoughts about him at all?

Wei Yang was not afraid of his threats. Even if he didn’t kill the Venomous Scorpion, the man in white would not spare him; sooner or later, they would cross paths. Not wanting to waste words, Wei Yang simply slew the Venomous Scorpion.

When Zhao Yun heard that his submission to the Cao army would not pit him against Liu Bei as an enemy, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was now exhausted, both man and horse, and could no longer fight to the death. Nor could he, under a rain of arrows from all sides, ensure A'dou’s safety. To preserve Liu Bei’s bloodline, he had no choice but to accept Cao’s terms.

It was time to make arrangements. First, the demon crystal and corpse of the Venomous Scorpion must be secured, especially the sickle—it was a fine weapon, and Heifu eyed it with envy.

“If only my enemy were not Ye Wudao,” Liu Yunxiu suddenly turned and gazed at his sister, his eyes full of mischief.

The moment Josente’s voice rang out, thunderous cheers erupted all around. Among those cheering were not only the guards on duty but also many ordinary citizens, a testament to Josente’s renown in the Star Blue Principality.

At last, in a brawl, Gu Qiong accidentally dealt a serious injury to the young sect master of the ruling “Bitter Solitude” branch! The Yuanyang branch was immediately held accountable by the Bitter Solitude branch. At that time, the Yuanyang branch was weak, and under pressure, the dwarf leader had no choice but to announce Gu Qiong’s expulsion from the sect.

Yet, just as the white light soared into the air, a flash of black shot forth and intercepted it. At the slightest collision, space twisted, and a deafening explosion shook the skies, stirring up a storm of black sand—then all returned to calm.

Upon hearing Cheng Yaojin’s earth-shattering words, both Du Fuwei and Fu Gongzhi’s faces turned odd, a shifting palette of blue and red, like a piece of brightly colored cloth.

“Hey, still awake?” The squat toilet guard flashed a brilliant smile, slipped inside sideways, and carried an armful of things—beer, snacks, and cigarettes.

As for the Feng family’s ancestral home, it had long since fallen into chaos. Though there were still many people left, few of any strength remained. Only one elder and a handful of elite disciples could still hold their own.

After idling away the day in the infirmary, as soon as it was time to clock out, Xie Dongya let Bai Jingjing go home on her own, while he stayed behind waiting for Xie Weifeng.

“Hey, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and show me that medal!” After a brief daze, Du Yu snapped back to himself and urged Ye Feng impatiently.

Could it be that this creature, resembling a black cat, sought revenge? But they weren’t responsible for such a deed—wouldn’t that be terribly unjust? Now that he had a clearer idea, he began to lay traps in secret, intending to catch this black cat-like being.

Speaking of his subordinates, Old Fu couldn’t help but glance at the closed door beside him. It had been quiet inside for so long that he grew genuinely worried about Li Qiang.

Besides the invitation, the bearded man told J about the benefits of joining: a fixed salary, a share of the takings after each operation, and additional bonuses for medics.

“You didn’t know?” The old man shot us a disdainful glance, all the while channeling power into Li Yi to boost her stamina, and at the same time using energy to check her pulse and strength.

For some reason, his appetite had soared lately. He could eat five or six bowls of rice and several large plates of food in one sitting. As Meng Tianjiao put it, he was going through a second growth spurt.

Old Zhang picked up the piece of paper—it was called a letter, but really only contained a few lines. As soon as he read it, his face changed dramatically. Ignoring the surprised stares of those around him, Old Zhang turned and left. No one noticed that, as he departed, his eyes had quickly reddened.

Though the golden fist of the backlash clone was quite powerful, even great power has its limits. As long as there was a threshold to its golden fist’s force, then the Yuan Energy Punch could surely counter it effectively.

As the last rays of sunlight were about to vanish, crewman Jin discovered traces left by people on the riverbank. It was guessed these might belong to a primitive tribe living in the tropical rainforest. Chen Jin suggested they seek help at the tribe’s settlement.

Yao Ji appeared in flowing, iridescent robes that trailed to the ground, embroidered with subtle butterfly patterns. She herself seemed as if she had transformed into a butterfly, just waiting for a gust of wind to carry her far away.

“Are you joking with me?” The elderly man, upon hearing Li Ming’s words, was somewhat displeased.

A resolute light shone in Yang Chen’s eyes. He struggled to his feet and stared at the feeble Celestial Star Array before him. It all seemed absurd—he had never imagined that, one day, all his trump cards would be lost to him.

Yu Chao ignored her and turned to the circus troupe, saying, “You shouldn’t stay here. Once the fire is out, take what you have left and hide it. Don’t let the Wang family target you again.” With that, he left with Nightingale and the young girl.

Ye Xiu had never yielded to threats or coercion; the more he was threatened, the more he scoffed at it.

After the Jade Sword Daoist’s words, Feng Wei and the others grew even more tense. After all, Tai Xuan was knocking on the door of the Taiyi Dao Fruit. If he succeeded, it would be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate—he’d become one of the top experts in the heavens. If he failed, all would be lost; thousands of years of cultivation would vanish like an illusion, a mirage.

Su Chen had originally planned to take Old Lin and Xue’er with him, but the old man, unwilling to wander at his age, refused to leave.

“Proceed as planned—follow the clues to their source.” In the Southern Palace, Gong Xie’s dark eyes grew colder, a flash of murderous intent passing through them.
