Starforce Warriors

Chapter 127: New Martial Surgery

The people who had snatched all the clothes started to crowd around the checkout counter, shouting, "Check out, where\'s the cashier? Hurry and check us out... "

Some of the more aggressive ones had formed groups to divide and conquer. Some would run off with the clothes while others stayed behind to pay, claiming they would accept any price.

"I\'ll pay double."

"Think that\'s impressive? I\'ll pay triple."

"Do you know who my employer is?"

The customers argued with each other over clothing. Their faces were red with frustration. It was an utterly bizarre scene. The Xiesheng Boutique had been incredibly quiet for days. But suddenly, it was as bustling and crowded as a boiling nine-grid hotpot.

Ten minutes later, the shop owner with black glasses was standing dumbfounded behind the cash register. The female mall manager was equally stunned at the store entrance. Both of them stared at the now empty shelves and racks.

All the store\'s products, even some small items made from leftover materials meant to be given away as freebies, had been snatched up at exorbitant prices. The entire store was in disarray. Anyone who didn\'t know better would have thought the store had been robbed.

The shop owner checked the balance on her light core account. It had tripled. She had made a huge profit. She could hardly believe it, and she had no idea what had just happened. Her store had been on the verge of closing due to poor business. Yet in an instant, everything was sold out.

The mall manager at the entrance was equally bewildered. She had worked at Starry Sky Mall for ten years and had seen all sorts of things. But today’s scene was beyond anything she had ever witnessed. Before the two women could fully process what had happened, another wave of customers rushed in.

"Can you do pre-sales?"

"We want to place an order; we\'ll wait however long it takes... "

"Can we join as a franchise?"

"How much is the franchise fee?"

"Hello, we\'re from Maple Leaf Villa\'s logistics. Can we sign a long-term supply contract with you? Name your price."

These people were all smiling and extremely polite.

The shop owner with black glasses couldn\'t help but ask, "Excuse me, what happened? Why have you all suddenly chosen my store? After all, we\'re just a small brand."

The hall resounded with thunderous applause that echoed endlessly.

On the stage, the elder patriarch of the Ye family and Kuramaki Kazuki, a representative of the Jiepeng medical exchange delegation, had successfully signed a framework cooperation agreement. At that moment, the two were displaying the signed contract to the cameras and shaking hands.

"It is an honor to establish this project collaboration with Duxing Hospital. Our Sanshang Group will continuously increase funding and technical support to ensure that the Inscribed Treasure Bone Transplant Project and the Side Effect Free High-Level Treasure Bone Fusion Technique are implemented within three months."

"These two technologies are revolutionary. They signify the dawn of an era where martial arts experts can be mass-produced. Anyone, as long as they pass the preoperative physical examination and evaluation, can transform overnight from an ordinary person into a strong practitioner at the Qi Refining Realm, Limit Breaking Realm, or even the Acupoint Opening Realm."

"At that time, everyone can become a martial arts expert. The star beasts in the wilderness will no longer pose a threat to us. We humans will have more martial arts experts who are capable of venturing beyond the city walls and launching counter attacks against the star beasts. We will eliminate these monsters and restore the Earth to an era dominated by humanity!"

Kuramaki Kazuki enthusiastically delivered his speech to the cameras. His stirring speech left many in the audience feeling invigorated and enthusiastic. Great Xia had always been a nation with a strong tradition in ancient martial arts. Although there was now ongoing research into new martial arts and various surgical projects, high-precision and mature technologies like those from the Sanshang Group had not yet become widespread.

If the technologies Kuramaki Kazuki spoke of were to be truly implemented and popularized at Duxing Hospital, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous benefit for the entire base city.

But was this really true?

Some people were skeptical of the grand vision he described.

"To prove our technology, we will demonstrate it here today," Kuramaki Kazuki announced solemnly. "We will be inviting some audience members to volunteer to come on stage and undergo our technological transformation, allowing everyone to witness the magic of the Inscribed Treasure Bone Transplant Surgery firsthand... Are there any brave warriors from Great Xia willing to accept the challenge?"

As soon as Kuramaki Kazuki\'s words rang out, the hall erupted in excitement.

Are the Jiepeng people really willing to demonstrate their technology live?

Several people volunteered eagerly, raising their hands and loudly expressing their willingness to try, including Xiong Zhigang. He stood up and raised his hand almost immediately. He almost looked like a prearranged participant. Unsurprisingly, he was chosen as one of the three lucky ones.

Before stepping onto the stage, Xiong Zhigang glanced at Li Xiaofei.

"I\'ll soon be stronger than you. Just wait and see." He said with a meaningful smile as he walked onto the main stage.

The Jiepeng medical exchange delegation\'s method of demonstration was simple and direct. Under the supervision of three notaries, ten renowned city doctors, and ten Acupoint Opening Realm experts, the three lucky ones had their starforce cultivation levels tested using newly unsealed starforce meters from a third-party company.

Xiong Zhigang was at the second stage of the Limit Breaking Realm. Another volunteer, a young man named Qi Zhi, was at the seventh stage of the Qi Refining Realm. The third volunteer, a boy named Shan Bing, had not cultivated any starforce qi and was considered a natural failure in cultivation due to his constitution, making him an extreme example of poor talent.

Next, the surgeries officially began. A temporarily constructed sterile and transparent operating room allowed everyone present to clearly see the entire process. The surgical team from the Jiepeng medical exchange delegation took less than thirty minutes in total, averaging under ten minutes per operation, to complete the so-called Inscribed Treasure Bone transplant surgeries.

They transplanted twelve star beast inscribed treasure bones into the bodies of the three volunteers. The surgeries were all highly successful. Within three minutes of completing the transplants, the three subjects were able to get out of bed and walk without any hindrance. It was more miraculous than pulling a tooth in the morning and going back to work in the afternoon.

The three quickly refined the implanted inscribed treasure bones with the professional guidance of the Jiepeng doctors and mastered their supernatural new martial arts abilities.

"Haha, I\'ve finally mastered starforce qi," Shan Bing shouted excitedly.

He activated his qi, and four vortices appeared around his body. He was now at the fourth stage of the Qi Refining Realm. The hall erupted in astonished exclamations. A simple surgery had transformed someone who couldn\'t cultivate into a fourth Qi Stage martial artist. It was unbelievably shocking.

"Hehe, if it weren\'t for Mr. Shan Bing\'s body\'s capacity being limited to only four inscribed treasure bones, our surgery could have even granted him the power of the ninth stage," Kuramaki Kazuki said proudly.

Meanwhile, when Xiong Zhigang activated his starforce qi, a clear purplish-blue glow surged around his left arm and neck. It seemed as if he had broken some invisible shackles, and the energy waves emanating from him increased wildly. He was now at the fourth stage of the Limit Breaking Realm!

As he exulted in the feeling of his rapidly increasing strength, Xiong Zhigang\'s face revealed a triumphant smile. His gaze swept across the stage and locked onto Li Xiaofei. He made no effort to hide his challenging intent.
