Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1521 - 731: Blood Lock

The panel under the sunlight flickered with dazzling azure light.

Fang Cheng slowed his pace, focusing his gaze on the Skill interface.

At the end of the acupoint Skill column, a line of brand-new entries quietly floated before his eyes.

[Blood Locking: Through acupoint techniques, forcibly intervene in the target’s qi and blood flow patterns, able to close local blood vessel transport and nerve conduction, or can act extensively on acupoints throughout the body, putting it into a low-metabolic dormant state.]

Having read this Skill Effect description, a few thoughtful musings crossed Fang Cheng’s eyes.

Acupoint treatment belongs to a method of external therapy in traditional medicine, rooted in meridian, qi and blood, and viscera theories.

Human meridians are channels for qi and blood circulation throughout the body, acupoints are nodes where qi and blood converge on meridians, connecting inside and outside.

Without using acupuncture or medication, a physician uses only fingertips or knuckles, accompanied by techniques such as pointing, pressing, kneading, pinching, and tapping, to accurately stimulate acupoints on the body surface, externally conducting through meridians, to regulate body’s functions internally.

Fang Cheng had once perused numerous modern anatomy and rehabilitation writings in the library.

From the perspective of modern medicine, acupoint treatment essentially is the external force stimulation on specific nerve ganglia and vascular smooth muscle, artificially taking over the body’s autonomic nervous system, so as to generate some special effects.

The so-called "Blood Locking," ought to be on the basis of this, pushing this stimulation to the extreme.

Using inch-force to sever transmission of neuron signals, forcing blood vessel walls to undergo stress-induced contraction, completely blocking local physiological circulation.

In this way, indeed similar to martial arts novel techniques of qi and blood closure, it can defeat and subdue, as well as stop bleeding and heal injuries.

Fang Cheng raised his right hand, index and middle fingers together, pointing twice into the air.

Feeling the rhythm of True Qi swallowing and spitting at the fingertips, as if there were already patients ready for experimentation.

Besides the exertion technique of the acupoint Skill itself, he could also condense True Qi on his fingertip.

At the moment of touching the body surface, directly injecting True Qi into the acupoint’s interior, thereby enhancing the physical stimulation of the deep nervous system.

With the assistance of True Qi, the final blocking effect can certainly be greatly enhanced on the original basis.

Even achieving arbitrary control and free and easy adjustment of the stimulation degree.

Anyway, this is undeniably a life-saving emergency Skill.

Especially in scenarios of encountering fatal external injuries, the value of this ability will be infinitely magnified.

For example, if a limb is severed by a sharp weapon or a major artery rupture causing jetting hemorrhage.

Conventional emergency hemostasis methods require preparing iodine, sterile gauze, medical cotton balls, and related medication in advance before operation.

If the bleeding volume is immense, a tourniquet must be used to tightly bind above the wound to block blood flow.

This not only consumes time but also is often limited by the rescue location.

But with the "Blood Locking" Skill he possesses, his fingers are like precise closing clamps.

Just by injecting True Qi into a few acupoints around the wound, can immediately force surrounding blood vessels to spasm and close, directly cutting off local blood supply.

By the same logic, if encountering some mutant creature’s venomous attack in the wild.

Can also quickly close the injured site’s venous return channel, trapping the toxin in place, preventing it from following the blood circulation into the heart.

Then through True Qi wrapping, forcibly discharge the toxic blood through the wound, thoroughly eliminating it cleanly.

This is equivalent to using the simplest and most direct way, forcibly snatching back precious golden rescue time from Death’s hands.

With this layer of protection, whether performing "Rejuvenating Hand" for repair afterward or pushing onto the surgical table for modern medical treatment, it can ensure ample time.

Fang Cheng’s gaze flickered slightly, and his thinking continued extending downward along medical logic.

If acupoint treatment can close local regions, what if targeting crucial acupoints in the trunk’s core area?

True Qi permeating deeply into the visceral nerve plexus, forcibly suppressing the heart’s pumping frequency, lowering lung ventilation efficiency.

Perhaps in just a few breaths, can make a lively person’s heart rate plummet drastically, metabolism drop to the utmost.

Ultimately, the whole person will fall into a state akin to "hibernation," a pseudo-death low-power mode.

More importantly, when nerve signal conduction is blocked, bones and muscles will also completely lose contraction capability.

Isn’t this equivalent to martial arts novels’ acupoint treatment, imposing the "Immobilization Technique" on a target?

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng’s mind flashed the image of the Special Search Team member he encountered when he just started working at the sanatorium.

That person suffered severe trauma in battle, vertebral fracture with shards directly pressuring the spinal cord central nerve.

At that time, the attending doctor could only do simple hemostasis, daring not to easily move the other, afraid of causing irreversible secondary injury.

But if encountering such situation again now, handling it would be effortless.

Fang Cheng rapidly rehearsed a rescue procedure in his mind:

Step one, using "Blood Locking" to seal the other’s trunk major acupoints, putting them into pseudo-death state, preventing autonomic nervous system-induced muscle spasms, preventing vertebral dislocation, while more effectively stopping visceral hemorrhage.

Step two, applying Bone-setting Skill’s "Temporary Solidification" effect, using True Qi transformed into silk threads, forcibly assembling shattered vertebral bones, restoring stable support structure.

Step three, after completing emergency stabilization, perform massage Skill’s "Rejuvenating Hand," inject True Qi, utilizing high-frequency oscillations to stimulate cell potential, accelerating soft tissue torn by bone fragments and damaged nerve repairs.
