Chapter 15 Fire-type Embryo!
A group of people formed a circle at the front of the track.
In the center of the crowd lay a man, about thirty years old, wearing a dark blue tracksuit. He was well-built and clearly had a background in sports. But at this moment, he lay face up on the scorching asphalt, his face flushed, his chest heaving violently, as if something was pounding wildly in his chest.
Several kind-hearted contestants around him were trying to help. Some pinched his philtrum, some fanned him, and some unscrewed their water bottles and poured them on his face. They were all busy and flustered, but obviously none of them were of any use.
"His heart is beating so fast, it feels like it's about to jump out of his chest!" exclaimed a man squatting nearby. He had just placed his hand on the fallen man's chest to try to feel his heartbeat, but was startled by the violent throbbing.
"It's so hot!" The other person also withdrew their hand, their expression horrified. "His left chest feels like it's on fire, it's even burning hot to the touch!"
At this moment, the sun blazed down fiercely, and everyone around was steaming, their faces flushed, and they were extremely anxious. The air was thick with the pungent smell of sweat and the melting asphalt, and the atmosphere was incredibly hot.
The man lying on the ground had his eyes closed and his jaw clenched. His sportswear was soaked with sweat and clung to his skin, and you could clearly see his heart beating abnormally fast, as if there was a runaway engine inside his chest.
Among the crowd, a girl remained kneeling beside the man, her hands clasped on his sternum, performing CPR. Her movements weren't perfect, but she pressed down hard, her forehead covered in sweat, her eyes red-rimmed. She had a simple ponytail and wasn't particularly striking in appearance. Her knees, pressed against the scorching asphalt, were scraped raw and bleeding, but she didn't care.
"Everyone from the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, please step back!"
Su Yezhong's powerful voice rang out, piercing through the noisy crowd.
People around looked in the direction of the sound and saw the words "Jiangcheng First People's Hospital" on the back of the white tracksuit, as well as the first aid kit with a red cross in Su Ye's hand. They all consciously stepped back and made room for him.
When the professionals arrived, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl who had been undergoing CPR looked up at Su Ye with great anxiety, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Doctor, I've never seen anything like this before. His heart is beating incredibly fast, and his chest is burning hot. I've been pressing on his chest, but it's not helping. Please help him!"
She was just an ordinary contestant and a complete stranger to the man who had fallen to the ground, but she was terrified of seeing a life vanish before her eyes.
Su Ye squatted down, glanced at her, and spoke in a gentle and steady voice.
"Leave it to me."
It was just three words, but when the girl heard them, her tense shoulders visibly relaxed, as if she had finally found a rope to hold onto.
She moved her hand away and stepped aside.
Su Bei also squatted down, opened the first aid kit, took out a stethoscope and a blood pressure monitor, and began the examination with Su Ye's help.
Su Ye placed his hand on the man's carotid artery.
His pulse was extremely fast, roughly estimated to be over two hundred beats per minute, and the rhythm was irregular, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, as if his heart was spasming rather than beating.
His body temperature was abnormally high, unlike a normal fever. The heat radiated from the inside out. Su Ye frowned and placed his fingers on his skin, as if touching a stone that had just been taken from the stove.
Su Bei handed over the stethoscope, which Su Ye took, put into his ear, and pressed the stethoscope head against the man's chest area.
"My heart is pounding so hard."
The heart sounds were extremely disordered, mixed together into a noisy roar, interspersed with irregular extra heart sounds.
It's not ventricular tachycardia, it's not ventricular fibrillation, it's not atrial fibrillation...
Su Ye frowned.
He quickly searched his mental medical knowledge base, trying to find a matching diagnosis, but after going through all the cardiology knowledge, there was no disease that could perfectly explain the symptoms in front of him.
The heart rate was over 200, but there were no signs of hemodynamic collapse. Although the blood pressure was low, it was maintained. The person was unconscious, but the pupils reflexed normally to light, which indicated that the brain was still receiving blood.
In a conventional case of cardiac arrest, defibrillation should be performed immediately, but this heart rhythm does not appear to be a defibrillable rhythm.
Not right.
Something's not right.
Su Ye placed his hand on the man's chest, preparing to conduct a further physical examination.
Then his pupils suddenly contracted.
At that moment, his senses picked up an extremely faint but extremely clear signal.
The man's heart was pounding.
It wasn't a heart muscle tremor, but a deeper tremor from the core of the heart, with an extremely high frequency and a very small amplitude, as if something was spinning rapidly inside the heart.
The source of that burning sensation was right there.
Su Ye tightened his fingers slightly, penetrating deeper into his senses.
"This is……"
Deep within a man's heart, a tiny, intensely hot energy is gathering, like a newly lit flame radiating scorching heat. The surrounding myocardial tissue contracts wildly under the stimulation of this heat, resulting in that abnormal heart rhythm.
The texture of that energy was somewhat similar to the nascent water-based golden core at Su Ye's waist.
Fire embryo.
heart.
The heart belongs to fire!
Su Ye's heart suddenly raced, and an overwhelming joy exploded in his chest. His hands trembled slightly, not from nervousness, but from excitement.
This was the first time he had ever witnessed the birth of the nascent Golden Core!
Wang Ming's embryonic form had already taken shape without his knowledge. By the time Su Ye came into contact with it, it was already a complete crystal, and he missed the entire gestation process.
But this time is different.
This fiery embryo is still forming and condensing. It is witnessing the entire process of a golden elixir emerging from nothing!
Under such extreme conditions, amidst the countless strands of spiritual energy coiling around him, the man's heart was quietly undergoing a transformation. Spiritual energy gathered, compressed, and condensed within his heart, and a nascent golden core of fire attribute was being born.
This process is fatal to the host.
"The formation of the nascent Golden Core is also accompanied by immense danger."
The heat and energy fluctuations released during the condensation of the fire embryo directly impacted the myocardium, leading to this unprecedented arrhythmia. Without intervention, the heart would stop beating due to overstimulation before the fire embryo was fully formed, endangering life.
"The formation of the Golden Core is a matter of nine deaths and one life!"
Su Ye took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He has to intervene!
Su Ye looked up and said to Su Bei in an orderly manner, "Prepare adrenaline, establish intravenous access, and contact the nearest emergency station to have them send over the defibrillator."
Su Bei nodded and quickly began to prepare.
Su Ye's hand remained pressed on the man's chest, ostensibly to perform a continuous cardiac assessment.
In fact, he had already pushed his mental strength to its limit.
He's watching.
He was watching every moment of the birth of the fire embryo.
How does spiritual energy gather? From which direction does it flow into the heart? What path does it take inside the heart muscle? How fast does it condense? How does the released heat dissipate? What is the response pattern of the heart muscle tissue to this stimulus?
Knowing his own physiological characteristics, Su Ye was able to have an unimaginable experience when watching these things!
It was as if his thoughts were exploding with every heartbeat!
At the same time, Su Ye is also injecting his own water system power.
Like gentle ripples on water.
It surged into the person's body.
Healing the sick and saving lives is a doctor's sacred duty.
Su Ye felt that this middle-aged man was lucky. Evolution is certainly valuable, but for ordinary people, it is actually an unexpected disaster. The most likely outcome is sudden death from extreme sports and cardiac arrest. Fortunately, he met Su Ye. After the water-type golden core rudiment was injected with the faint water-type power, it was obvious that the middle-aged man's painful expression eased a bit.
However, Su Ye also sensed something. His perception never relaxed. Under his perception, every heartbeat would cause the blood in his body and an invisible energy to contract and spread, like the rhythm of breathing. At this moment, all kinds of concrete images made Su Ye enlightened.
"So it really is breathing?"
