Adrenaline is also known as the "fight-or-flight hormone." It''s released in response to a stressful, exciting, dangerous, or threatening situation. Adrenaline helps your body react more quickly. It makes the heart beat faster, increases blood flow to the brain and muscles, and stimtes the body to make sugar to use for fuel.


    When adrenaline is released suddenly, it''s often referred to as an adrenaline rush.


    Ye Tian Yun''s body was currently going through an adrenaline rush. It wasn''t a bad thing per say, in fact, the adrenaline rush rather helped the person from going through immediate pain.


    The adrenaline rush was like a distraction to the body. The pain was there, it was just that the body wasn''t focused on it. That''s why the intensity of the main became minimal.


    Ye Tian Yun didn''t let himself be distracted for long. He knew that his body had assumed that it became crippled forever and thus reacted with the sudden adrenaline rush. And this was his chance to put the acupuncture needles in the right ce before the adrenaline rush came to an end.


    As long as he seeded in blocking the Qi flow before the end of the adrenaline rush, he would be able to save himself from loads of pain.


    Thus, without wasting any more time, Ye Tian Yun took out another needle and pressed it straight through his stomach.


    This time, as expected, he felt no pain, neither did his stomach bulge.


    And just like that, he ced six more needles at different meridians on his stomach.


    With thest needle in ce, he was able to sessfully block the Qi flow through his body below the lungs.


    But now came the hardest part of this acupuncture - the heart.


    The heart is the central and one of the most important parts of the human body. And what made this phase of acupuncture the hardest was the fact that the heart was like a crossroad of meridians.


    A lot of meridians converged and passed through this ce, and this made doing any kind of acupuncture, be it healing or temporarily crippling the body, the hardest.


    Ye Tian Yun didn''t dare to take deeper breaths as he slowly pushed a needle through the skin over his heart and sent it directly towards the deepest meridian first.


    The deepest meridian was also the closest meridian to the heart, and even though the needle isn''t harmful to the meridians, it doesn''t spare any other organs or flesh. This technically put Ye Tian Yun in a life-and-death situation because the needle was so close to his heart, a single mistake and the needle would pass through his heart, effectively killing him forever.


    Luckily for him, it wasn''t his time to die yet, and thus the needle was ced securely over the meridian, blocking the meridian.


    Ye Tian Yun still didn''t dare to rx because there were still about sixteen more needles that he needed to ce over his chest.


    And without dying for anything, he started to carefully ce the acupuncture needles over the meridians.


    After about five minutes of struggle to keep his body still, Ye Tian Yun was able to sessfully ce the needles at the right ce.


    If someone were to see his condition right now, he might think that someone had struck thin arrows on Ye Tian Yun''s chest. Lots of arrows.


    Ye Tian Yun, still keeping his body as still as possible, began to focus on thest two needles on the ground.


    He needed to put these needles on the meridians to block his Qi flow through his head and hands.


    But just two needles might seem insufficient, because his chest alone needed seventeen needles, however, the hands and the head of the body had a special condition over them.


    For each of these body parts, Ye Tian Yun only needed to block one meridian, which would then stop the whole Qi flow.


    He then looked at the needles and took out the short one.


    The needles used in acupuncture are usually the same shape and size, with the expectation of a single needle.


    The needle in the hand of Ye Tian Yun wasn''t the exception in the bundle, in fact, it was actually the same size as the other needles that Ye Tian Yun had used.


    It was the longer needle that was the exception. Ye Tian Yun hadn''t touched it yet because he was going to need it at the veryst step of acupuncture.


    Currently, he was focused on the shorter one. He ced it in between his index finger and the thumb, and then carefully pressed the needle right between his eyebrows.


    The meridian at this ce, if blocked, was enough to stop the Qi flow of his whole head.


    And as expected, the Qi flow did stop, which was evident from the swelling of the skin around the needle.


    In fact, it was not the skin, but rather all the meridians on his face began to swell, making his face be flushed red.


    Luckily for him, except for the feeling that his head was about to explode, there was no other feeling of pain or hallucination.


    Fortunately, it didn''t take long for him to get his face back to normal shape. It was mainly due to his body still being in an adrenaline rush, even though it had now toned down a lot.


    Inwardly sighing in relief, Ye Tian Yun then focused on thest needle on the ground.


    This needle was the longest of all the needles and was easy to get noticed. But earlier, Ye Tian Yun had chosen to ignore it because he was focused on cing the other needles to block the meridians.


    Now, with thirty-two needles pressed at the right ces, the Qi flow through his torso and upper body were now sessfully blocked.


    The only body part that still had Qi flowing through it here was his hands.. And the single needle lying in front of him was enough for him to block the Qi in both of his hands.
