Where's my golden core? Did you think I removed a kidney stone?

Chapter 60 Shocking!

hum!

The golden aura that was originally sharp and radiant was fiercely gripped by the water elemental power, but it still struggled violently deep within the old man's lungs, like a knife that had been forcibly sheathed. Its sharpness had not diminished, but it could no longer recklessly tear apart the surrounding flesh.

Su Ye's forehead quickly beaded with sweat.

This is not easy.

Water can nourish metal, but it cannot truly control it. That golden energy was too sharp. Fortunately, Su Ye's water energy was clearly not on the same level as that metal energy.

Su Ye remained calm. Once his senses were fully engaged, all the surgical experience that Zhou Jingtang had previously instructed him on became useful at this moment.

What were originally just experience, knowledge, and judgment, when combined with Su Ye's spiritual perception, formed an extremely clear picture in his mind, making everything immediately understandable.

He is currently performing surgery while controlling the elderly man's body to its limits.

This was his first time performing surgery independently.

They don't even need assistants.

It sounds too unbelievable.

At this moment, his brain is like the world's most advanced computer, with water-based energy covering every detail. His body, which has undergone a second marrow cleansing, provides him with unlimited physical strength, allowing him to perform intricate surgeries that would otherwise require the cooperation of multiple people.

"Senior, please don't speak from now on."

Su Ye's voice was very low.

The elderly military personnel closed their eyes.

Su Ye picked up the instruments and began to actually treat the lesions deep in the hilum of the lung.

He didn't try to completely remove the golden energy; that was unrealistic. The old man's body was too old, like a cracked old vat filled with something far exceeding its capacity. Evolution itself wasn't wrong; the problem was that this evolution was too turbulent, almost bursting this aging body apart.

Therefore, what Su Ye needs to do is not to erase the evolution, but to extract the excess metal-type energy.

"We can't let it go to waste, can we?"

"Then let it all enter my body." Su Ye's breathing technique surged, and his water-elemental golden core trembled, transforming into an extremely strong suction force that drew the golden energy into his body and then suppressed it!

The old man had his eyes closed, but he couldn't help being shocked.

It's a very strange feeling.

His chest cavity was opened, and instruments moved through his flesh and blood. The young man was right beside him, performing surgery. As flesh tore and organs writhed, he didn't feel much pain. Instead, a continuous coolness enveloped the depths of his lungs, making him feel as if he were soaking in a cold pool.

Is this what they call extraordinary?

The old man suddenly felt an extremely absurd feeling.

It was also a completely new experience unlike anything I'd ever had before.

Is the surgery being performed while the patient is awake?

He was even more shocked by Su Ye's existence.

Jiangcheng has produced such a young man.

Su Ye had no time to pay attention to the old man's thoughts at the moment. He focused all his energy on the depths of his lungs. The golden energy gradually contracted under the wrapping of water. He drew out the outermost layer of overly restless and sharp golden mist blades little by little and then absorbed them all into his body. The energy of extraordinary evolution was a good thing for Su Ye!

Change occurred at this moment.

The tissues near the elderly man's chest cavity that were originally on the verge of necrosis began to regain activity, the minor cracks on the surface of the lung lobes were slowly closing up, and even some old scars seemed to have been re-plucked.

This isn't a complete repair, but it's a genuine extension of life.

The benefits of being "extraordinary" are overflowing!

Su Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's the right approach.

Too much evolution would overwhelm an old man, but if the evolution is reduced to a level his body can handle, the remaining golden energy can nourish his aging body.

After a few more moments, Su Ye completed the final processing.

Stop the bleeding, clean up, and suture.

After finishing the last part, he slowly took half a step back, his face already somewhat pale.

The old man looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Really... done?"

"Um."

Su Ye took off his blood-stained gloves, his voice hoarse.

"Your body is too old to withstand the full metal evolution, so I extracted a portion of the out-of-control metal energy, leaving only a level that your body can handle. Simply put, you were originally about to break apart by this evolution, and now I'm just pressing it back into a controllable range, so that you can enjoy the benefits it brings without being completely crushed by it."

The old man listened very attentively.

So, I'm still alive?

"able."

Su Ye spoke cautiously.

"If there is no further severe stimulation to the lungs or excessive exertion, there should be no problem in one or two years."

One or two years.

This is far too extravagant for someone who was already prepared to die.

The old man looked at Su Ye, but did not thank him immediately. He just looked at the young man quietly, as if he wanted to remember his face.

Just then, a very soft groan came from the side.

Zhou Jingtang woke up.

When he groggily opened his eyes, his mind was still a bit muddled. He only remembered that the moment he peeled back the scar on his lung, a blinding golden light suddenly burst into his vision, and then he lost consciousness.

What exactly happened just now?

Zhou Jingtang propped himself up on his arms and sat up. The first thing he saw was the nurse and anesthesiologist, who were also swaying from side to side.

They slowly woke up, each looking bewildered, clearly not yet understanding what was going on.

"Did I just... faint?"

"It feels like something bumped into me."

"What about the surgery?"

The sound startled everyone, and they all looked toward the operating table, only to be stunned.

The surgery is over.

After the incision was completed, the data on the monitor was incredibly stable. The elderly man, whose condition had been extremely critical, was now looking at them calmly with his eyes open.

There was a moment of silence in the operating room.

The next moment, the way the several dazed nurses looked at Zhou Jingtang changed.

Mr. Zhou truly lives up to his reputation.

They had all fainted, how was the surgery still able to be completed?

The medical giant of Jiangcheng is indeed terrifying.

Zhou Jingtang was dumbfounded.

He looked at the operating table where the procedure had been completed, then at the calm-looking elderly military officer, and fell into a rare silence.

Did I make this?

Did I just faint?

The elderly military officer looked at him with a strange smile on his face, and his tone seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

"Old Zhou, thank you again this time."

Zhou Jingtang's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. He didn't reply immediately, but his gaze slowly swept across the operating room, finally settling on Su Ye in the corner.

Su Ye stood there, his hands in the pockets of his white coat, his face pale but his expression calm, though a hint of weariness was hidden deep in his eyes.

Zhou Jingtang suddenly understood something, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly organized his thoughts.

He made himself appear calm, walked back to the operating table, and began to carefully examine the elderly military personnel. In the end, he simply spoke calmly, giving instructions on follow-up care and precautions.

As they were talking, Zhou Jingtang suddenly glanced at the old man on the operating table and added calmly, "You must be tired now, right? You should get some sleep after the surgery."

That's perfectly normal.

But Zhou Jingtang really couldn't keep his composure. Have you ever seen a patient who has just had open-heart surgery lying on the operating table, staring wide-eyed and chatting with someone?

Dude!

You were given anesthesia.

The old man seemed to realize this as well. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he naturally closed his eyes and slowed his breathing so that no one else would notice anything amiss. Clearly, both old men were protecting Su Ye.

There were too many unusual things happening here, so they could only try their best to disguise it as a normal surgery.

A moment later, the operating room door was pushed open.

The people waiting outside stood up almost simultaneously.

Zhou Jingtang came out, looked at everyone, and only said four words stiffly.

"The surgery went smoothly."
