Chapter 789 767: 409 Needles! All Acupoints Hit!

The insiders knowledgeable in traditional Chinese medicine were utterly shocked witnessing Ren Feng's needle insertion speed.

Is this really needlework?

If Yin Xingshui's needle insertion speed was already impressive and quite elegant, at least his speed was still visible. However, Ren Feng's needlework was simply too fast to follow!

The speed descended to such a degree is simply horrifying!

Even the South Korean crowd were discussing:

"Yin Xingshui's needle insertion has such beauty, he should definitely win this time, right?"

"Mr. Yin's needle speed is really fast."

"No, wait a moment, that Huaxia person's needlework—dear heavens, I can't see a thing anymore!"

"How could this be, it's all an illusion!"

Huaxia bystanders also held their breath, staring unblinkingly at Ren Feng, but soon, they felt a strain in their eyes.

Too fast, their eyes couldn't keep up, and some foreign tourists also exclaimed, "Is this magic? Oh God, this must be magic!"

"Eye-opening indeed, what needle skill is he using?"

Hao Baishan observed Ren Feng's technique, hesitating slightly: "This is..."

"Legend has it there is a record in Divine Needle Sect's archive of a technique called the Thousand Illusion Needle Skill, which is modified from the Thousand Illusions Cloud-Brushing Hand. It is used for needle application at incredible speed; could this be what he is demonstrating? How does this young man know so much? Where does his training come from?"

Even among some hidden clans of traditional medicine in Huaxia, many practitioners were greatly astonished by Ren Feng's needle technique.

"Impressive, this young man's expertise in traditional Chinese medicine shouldn't be underestimated."

"Who is his mentor? I've never seen such a young master of Chinese medicine."

There were also people in the Divine Needle Sect paying attention to this competition.

An elderly man dressed in white saw the needle technique used by Ren Feng and couldn't help but smile wryly: "Back then, he forcefully acquired the technique, never thought he'd manage to teach an excellent disciple after all."

On site, the match continued.

The entire competition lasted 90 seconds, within which whoever inserted more needle holes would win.

Attempting to fully needle all 409 acupoints on the Bronze Man within 90 seconds was utterly impossible.

No one had ever achieved this; even Yin Xingshui's record was nearly two hundred ten needles, which was his speed limit!

In a brief moment, the upper body acupoints were needled by the two contestants.

Then bending over, they began needling the lower body acupoints on the Bronze Man statue.

Cui Junxian kept watching the time closely, under such circumstances, he dared not show favoritism.

Finally, with a crisp sound, Cui Junxian shouted, "Time's up, stop the needlework!"

Ren Feng and Yin Xingshui, upon hearing this, stood up from the ground.

Ren Feng took off the black cloth on his eyes and smiled at Yin Xingshui.

Yin Xingshui, too, displayed a confident demeanor, returning Ren Feng's smile.

With the competition concluded, even those unfamiliar with acupuncture could see they were top-notch needle masters.

The cameras zoomed in, allowing the audience to view, on the big screen, the two Bronze Man statues, each covered in densely packed red and black dots.

Cui Junxian scanned the two Bronze Men and stated with a smile: "The match between Mr. Yin Xingshui and Mr. Ren Feng has ended. Now, our staff will proceed with tallying the numbers."

"To ensure the accuracy of the tally, the Huaxia delegation may select a supervisor to oversee the fairness of the results."

Liao Yuan addressed Xv Jie: "Xv Jie, you go ahead."

"Alright." Xv Jie nodded, walked to the center, and respectfully nodded towards Ren Feng.

Following that, Xv Jie approached the Bronze Man of Ren Feng, watching as the count staff began tallying.

All present were waiting, and those on screen in Huaxia were also waiting.

"Who do you think will win?"

"I can't see too well, I have trypophobia."

"But it seems like there are more red needles, seems to cover the entire body."

"Two hundred fifty-two black needles!" reported the staff.

Applause roared like thunder, the whole place buzzed!

Ninety minutes of blind needlework, breaking his own record, Yin Xingshui indeed lived up to being South Korea's national doctor!

The skill in acupuncture was certainly deadly.

For such needlework, one must first locate the acupoints before inserting needles, thus consuming significant time, yet Yin Xingshui performed beyond expectations this time.

With this result announced, the South Korean crowd went wild. They cheered and shouted for Yin Xingshui, applauding his achievement.

They knew the outcome of this contest was secure.

Could one possibly exceed this number?

Liao Yuan and the others wore grave expressions, being experts in the field, they understood what this number meant.

Ordinary practitioners could typically insert about one hundred ten needles per minute, converted to twelve hundred eighty plus for ninety seconds.

Top practitioners could aim for two hundred needles, while Yin Xingshui leapt to two hundred fifty-two needles, that was simply leaving no room for anyone else.

This implied that at certain times, Yin Xingshui was able to insert needles into two acupoints per second!

Upon hearing this number, Yin Xingshui was evidently satisfied, smiling at Ren Feng and extending gratitude towards the crowd for supporting his achievement.

"Please allow Huaxia's representatives to verify the number once more." Cui Junxian addressed Xv Jie, eyes twinkling mischievously.

"Indeed, two hundred fifty-two needles." replied Xv Jie.

The audience burst into applause once again.

After all, the result had now been acknowledged by the rival.

"Now let's proceed with accurately counting the red needle holes," requested Cui Junxian with a smile. "Given their size, please ensure none are missed, or else Ren Feng's chances to surpass Mr. Yin Xingshui will diminish further."

His words contained undisguised sarcasm, yet Ren Feng stood silently, awaiting the outcome.

The two staff members nodded, and began checking the number of red needle holes.

After counting for a while, the two exchanged glances, then continued counting again.

After a first round, the hosts and audience thought they were simply ensuring a thoroughly accurate count, hence the repeated checks.

However, upon the third round of inspection, the anomaly was finally noticed.

"Do you two have a problem?" asked Cui Junxian, frowning with a microphone in hand.

"No problem." replied one staff, stealing a glance at Ren Feng, "We just want to tally the most accurate number."

"You've done an arduous task." said Cui Junxian, "Would you kindly inform us when the tally will be ready? Many viewers here and at home are awaiting the results."

The two staff nodded, displaying a sense of shock and disbelief, and once more meticulously counted.

Xv Jie also counted repeatedly, his expression was almost as if stone-like.

Yin Xingshui frowned slightly, gazing upon the Bronze Man covered in dense red dots, feeling an ill premonition.

Could it be that the number had surpassed his?

Everyone awaited the staff's results, and both the site and viewers were in dead silence.

A full ten minutes passed before the two staff stood up, still exhibiting expressions of amazement.

"The tally has been completed."

Cui Junxian felt a surge of joy, promptly asked: "How many?"

The staff glanced at Cui Junxian, swallowing hard, lips moved without producing sound.

"Don't be nervous, speak up, announce your answer loudly." urged Cui Junxian with a smile.

"Red needles, four hundred nine, complete coverage!" declared the staff after clearing their throat and gritting their teeth.
