Chapter 365 No Reaction At All


    In her usual soft and gentle tone, Caylie spoke with a diplomatic air. “Chanaea has always been known


    for its hospitality and friendship. We never resort to extreme measures. Every foreigner who has visited


    ournds has returned with stories of our kindness and approachability. I, too, will administer your


    acupuncture with the utmost gentleness.”


    “Ah–The Jetroinian man’s head throbbed with searing pain, as if his very soul was being torn apart.


    The moment the eleventh needle pierced his skin, he fell into unconsciousness, abruptly ending the


    needle match.


    In total, Caylie had used eleven needles.


    Marley’s expression darkened considerably as he protested, “Wait, I haven’t used my eleventh needle


    yet. It’s premature to discuss victory or defeat.”


    He held onto the hope that his eleventh needle could make Emrys faint, potentially salvaging a draw in


    thepetition between the two sides.


    Losing is not an option I’m willing to consider!


    The sight of the Easterner copsing brought overwhelming joy to Reuben and the others.


    We won!


    Their tion exceeded expectations. Caylie’s effortless victory over Marley, the formidable Golden


    Needle Ghostly Hands, showcased her true mastery of acupuncture.


    Since the incident years ago, when Axel fell to Marley, the Chanaea Traditional Medicine Association


    had carried a heavy burden of unease.


    Marley’s triumphant return to Kepraria, coupled with his boastful press conference recounting his


    victory over Axel, had only worsened their difort.


    In his narrative, Marley had emphasized the ease of his win, portraying Axel, the supposed


    acupuncture master, as no match for him.


    Taking advantage of the situation, Marley had expanded his mentorship, with eager acupuncture


    enthusiasts from around the world flocking to learn from him.

    This strategic move had left the Chanaca Traditional Medicine Association frustrated and powerless.


    After all, once a battle was lost, no amount of rhetoric could change the oue.


    As the years passed, Marley issued another challenge, but this time, he found himself effortlessly


    crushed by Caylie.

    The resentment that had festered within the hearts of the members of the Chanaea Traditional


    Medicine Association finally found release.


    It was as if they had conveniently forgotten their earlier hesitation.


    Before the needle match between Marley and Caylie, the association members had been eager to


    distance themselves from Caylic.


    With a serious expression. Marley reiterated, “My eleventh needle has yet to be ced. It’s premature


    to discuss victory or defeat. He was determined not to ept defeat.


    Thus, when he inserted the eleventh needle, he used certain tricks, just as he had with the previous


    one.


    This time, a faint golden stream of energy emanated from the tip of his needle.


    Channeling vital energy to the needles was a distinctive move of the Golden Needle Ghostly Hands.


    This golden energy current bore some resemnce to the life energy harnessed by cultivators,


    although not identical.


    It was a result of the original technique passed down from Chanaea to Kepraria. However, Keprarians


    had only partially mastered the technique, causing Marley to lose a significant portion of his vitality


    every time he executed the technique.


    In his determined pursuit of a draw in this needle match, Marley pushed himself to the limits.


    Buzz!


    The needle trembled as it pierced an acupoint on Emrys’s body, sending a faint golden current surging


    into his meridians, strong enough to disrupt his energy flow.


    Marley was confident that this move would decisively turn the tide in his favor.


    However, reality did not align with his expectations.


    Emrys expression remained unchanged.


    How could Emrys not have detected Marley’s cunning scheme?


    From the insertion of the tenth needle, Emrys had already realized that Marley would not adhere to the


    established rules of their acupuncture duel.


    Yet, Emrys chose not to expose the truth; to him, Marley’s tricks were nothing more than a minor


    annoyance.


    As the golden stream of energy flowed into his meridians, Emrys effortlessly absorbed it with his life


    force.
