In the blink of an eye—

A figure flashed by, getting ahead to stand in front of Ruoshuang.

The figure reached out a hand, grabbing at the venomous snake that was leaping through the air.

Catching a nimble creature like a snake is extremely difficult for most people in a rush, and there are many instances of failed attempts turning to being bitten instead.

"Be careful!"

Lin Hai called out, not caring who the person was; as long as they could save Ruoshuang, he felt obliged to intervene.

His feet stomped down hard, sending a rock flying, pinched between his fingers, ready to be flung at the snake to explode it.

Before he could make his move, the figure's palm ingeniously shifted in mid-air, skillfully grasping the snake by its throat and swiftly throwing it away.

"What exquisite palm technique…"

Lin Hai saw the person's technique clearly, the deft move resembling a blossoming lotus flower with the fingers, which dazzled the onlooker.

Thud, the figure landed.

Lin Hai finally saw the person clearly—thin with a pallid face, but very handsome youth, especially the hands that had well-worn joints showing significant skill.

Moreover, the young man was wearing Huadu University's uniform, evidently a student.

"Who would have thought, a master among the students!"

The person was a super first-class expert, which was incredibly rare among students.

That someone of his age had reached such levels implied an extraordinarily exceptional talent, rivaling even Xia Chuqing.

"Wuu wuu, it's over. I've been bitten by a snake, my face is ruined. From now on, my future isn't a dream, it's a nightmare now, wuu wuu." Ruoshuang covered her small face, moaning in pain.

"Ruoshuang, the snake didn't bite you." Lin Hai's voice drifted lightly.

"What?"

Her crying stopped abruptly, and Ruoshuang carefully felt her small face, checking and found nothing wrong, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"I was scared to death, brother-in-law. I thought you were only flirting with beauties, not caring whether I lived or died."

"Shoot, am I that lecherous?" Lin Hai was speechless, the girl's focal point during crisis was somewhat misplaced.

"Hmph, I think you are very lecherous."

"Shoot, I was worried sick about you, and this is what you say?" Lin Hai grimaced and smacked his lips, sighing, "I'm so young, how could I possibly be lecherous."

"Heroes don't ask about origins; a lecherous person doesn't consider age!"

Why does this sentence seem so reasonable yet leaves one speechless?

Lin Hai awkwardly rubbed his chin, shifting his attention to the young student, changing the topic awkwardly: "This young brother is extraordinary. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The young student raised his hand signaling Lin Hai, saying, "It seems your skills are also quite extraordinary just now."

"Hehe, just trivial skills, not worth mentioning." Lin Hai spoke modestly.

Only then did little Ruoshuang notice her savior.

Seeing him, Ruoshuang's eyes were immediately filled with sparkles: " Brother Xiao, thank you for saving me."

"Oh? You know each other?" Lin Hai asked curiously.

Ruoshuang nodded, "He is the No. 1 among the top five most handsome boys at our school. Who knows how many lovestruck girls secretly admire him."

Indeed, the young student was quite handsome, and with his remarkable skills and the demeanor of someone accustomed to martial arts, he stood out significantly in school.

Lin Hai pondered silently, why is it that others practicing martial arts are celebrated as 'heroes among youths,' while someone like him was relegated to 'don't bully the young and poor'? It felt completely unfair.

"Ah, help, I've been poisoned, I'm done for." Wei Shengjin's miserable voice rang out.

"I'll go help, Ruoshuang, you quickly go help Nurse Bingbing."

Lin Hai finished speaking and hurried over to Wei Shengjin, carefully observing and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Kid, the snake that bit you is a cauliflower snake, the only non-venomous one in this group."

"Ah? I'm not poisoned?" Wei Shengjin exaggeratedly widened his mouth, looked at his own wound, and then cried again with a sad face: "I'd rather be poisoned, this snake is too perverted, it actually bit right at my pants."

"Look closely, it didn't bite the crucial parts," Lin Hai said as a dark line formed on his forehead.

Wei Shengjin carefully inspected the two small holes around the crotch area of his trousers, and finally let out a sigh of relief finding that little Wei Shengjin was unharmed.

"Hehe, Brother Lin is awesome, fearless in the face of danger. I was so scared earlier that I almost peed my pants, totally losing my composure."

Lin Hai rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with the chubby guy. He prepared to execute the Heavenly Creation Finger to help heal the poisoned students.

Nurse Bingbing had already moved the injured students into the ambulance, a total of seven people.

Lin Hai frowned, seven people, there might not be enough time. By the time he finished treating them, the poison would have likely spread to their hearts.

"No matter, I'll save as many as I can."

Lin Hai took a deep breath and decided to use Gang Qi without worrying about the consequences, just to be faster.

Heavenly Creation Finger again.

His hands bloomed like flowers, exquisitely and skilfully touching the first injured student.

Meanwhile, the young student with the surname Xiao arrived at the scene. Upon seeing Lin Hai's finger technique, his expression froze. His usually impassive eyes filled with surprise.

"Heavenly Creation Finger..." The youth muttered to himself.

"There's not enough time, seven students, even with the Heavenly Creation Finger, it's impossible to save them all."

The young man made a quick decision, rushing to one of the injured students and swiftly reaching out with his palm.

In a moment, a finger technique comparable to the Heavenly Creation Finger in sophistication was deployed by the youth.

Just as Lin Hai finished treating one student, he saw this scene and his eyes revealed a shade of astonishment.

This was the first time he had seen a finger technique other than the Heavenly Creation Finger that could also heal and save lives.

Moreover, the technique of the other party, compared to his own, lacked a bit of fierceness but had an added weight.

"What kind of finger technique is this?" Lin Hai marveled.

While continuing his treatment, the young Xiao replied, "A family inherited finger technique, called: One Flame Westward Furious Red Lotus."

"Damn, what a powerful name."

Lin Hai was again taken aback. He noticed a detail; this set of techniques definitely belonged in the same league as Heavenly Creation and thus was surely a Xuan Skill.

Ancient Martial and Xuan Skills, they aren't even in the same league.

To possess a Xuan Skill, and a family-inherited one at that, this young man's status must be extraordinary.

"Young man, impressive kung fu, I admire it. We should have a good talk later."

Lin Hai hurriedly continued to treat the other students.

"Your kung fu is stronger than mine; Heavenly Creation Finger, its Cultivation Technique Grade is above Angry Red Lotus," the young student replied.

...

After about ten more minutes, the treatment was finally completed.

Lin Hai found out that the youth's Gang Qi foundation was also strong; again secretly astonished, realizing the world indeed had hidden dragons and crouching tigers. In the past, he might have been only at par with this youth.

"Eh? Brother Lin, what are you doing here?"

A sudden voice rang out.

Lin Hai turned his head and upon seeing the person's face, was speechless, wondering why he was always bumping into acquaintances today.

"Brother Hai, how did you end up here?" The person, shockingly, was Young Master Zhan from Yanjing, Hai Wuyan.

"I came to bid farewell to Brother Xiao. I've got the medicine needed for my grandfather's treatment and am planning to leave Huadu for Yanjing soon."

Hai Wuyan said with a smile, paused, then added: "Oh, I forgot to introduce him, Brother Lin, this is Xiao Yan, from an Ancient Martial Family in Yanjing, a direct descendant of the Medicine Sect known as the Young Medicine King."

"Shoot? Xiao 'Yan'? Young Medicine King? Do you have an Abnormal Fire?" Lin Hai asked with exaggerated surprise.

"..." The smiles on everyone's faces turned into a collective facepalm.
