The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1033

(Unedited)

…

Xin Ja ran outside in a fit of alarm. He has already experienced such a thing before when he was younger. At that time, he was helpless as he just watches when his father enters the house bruised all over his body.

It was a real nightmare for a little child to see the only person which is the source of his comfort to be feeling weak and helpless.

For years, he has viewed his father as the strongest man in his world. Well… he could tell that his father is really strong.

When he was 6, he accidentally discovered a new function of his unique vision. And that is to see the power levels of every individual he would look upon.

At that time, he accidentally said the word "Status…" in his mind and poof. He suddenly saw the power level of his father.

At first, he felt a bit baffled and tried it on himself. That's was the time that he discovered the disparity between him and his father.

The number that's displayed on his father's status is 150, while on him, he has 10.

He did not know why he has ten, but that number would sometimes fluctuate whenever he would be sick with Ki, it would sometimes rise to 20 which would immediately make him almost faint.

Then Doctor Sun would just absorb the Ki and it would then go to 1, and then would slowly rise back up to 10.

And because of this, he has thought that his father is really strong.

But when he ran out of the house, that strong father of his is laying on the ground. Although he is still breathing, he could tell that he is badly hurt this time.

He became anxious and began to panic. He did not know what to do.

"Papa… Papa, wake up! Papa, wake up!" he called as he began to sob.

As a child, he did not know what to do. All he knows is that his father is in need of help and that he is badly hurt.

Xin Ja gritted his teeth and quickly wipe away his tears. He then tried to remember what Doctor Sun did that day when his father was hurt.

Although he is young, his ability to remember things is really amazing. And so, he could still remember what happened that day, like it just happened yesterday.

Xin Ja began checking his father's body, but he could not move him.

"Ah… Status!" he suddenly cried.

When he said that, his unique vision suddenly displayed the numbers. It showed his father's Ki.

Upon seeing the number, Xin Ja's expression turned pale.

This is because… his father's Ki has fallen to only… 30.

Alarmed, Xin Ja quickly read through some of the words displayed. He was a bit perplexed upon understanding the situation.

"He was stabbed…" he muttered.

Then his eyes landed on the side of his father where a pool of blood is slowly forming.

He could not help but feel a sense of helplessness at this time as tears once again filled his eyes.

Suddenly, he recalled that in his previous life, he is called Shin Jiao. He should be a peerless cultivator and an artificer that has vast knowledge in his arsenal. If this is true, then he might have a way to help his father, right?

With that in mind, Xin Ja quickly scanned every knowledge recorded in the unique vision.

Then his eyes light up when he noticed a file with the title "Medicine".

Without a second thought, he quickly let it be absorbed in his mind.

He did not want to do such a thing because it causes him to feel dizzy and headache. The headache would last for a while, and he would feel uncomfortable for a time.

But he has no choice at this time. This time, he has to grit his teeth because the life of his father is on the line.

He saw that the number of Ki is slowly dropping from 30 to 29…

"Arrgghhh… My head… ouch… ouch…" suddenly Xin Ja began to squeal as he did not expect that his head would feel such pain.

He began to roll on the round as one information after another began entering his mind. And while this is happening, he could feel like his head is about to split apart in pain.

Xin Ja began howling like crazy on the ground as he tried his best to hold on. However, how could he? The large information with regards to medicine is not something that a mere 10-year-old child could handle.

His squirming has attracted some passerby and they soon noticed the condition of the father and child. Some of those who felt deep pity for the two quickly called Doctor Sun.

…

The darkness is unnerving and uncomfortable. No matter where he looks, everything is black. It was as if the void is a living thing that has devoured him whole.

Xin Ja felt afraid and from his mouth, he began calling for his father.

"Papa… Papa where are you? Please… Please don't leave me, papa…" he cried while sobbing helplessly in the darkness.

He felt helpless and afraid. Then he recalled what happened, he recalled what he saw in their small courtyard.

It was his father's blood.

That crimson liquid made him feel dizzy and sick. It made him feel afraid and angry. Many different emotions filled his heart with agitation making him feel depressed and sad.

He did not have any power to do anything.

What peerless cultivator? What is that? What powerful being? Where?

Those are just things that he has read and heard from his mind. Maybe they are not even true…

*Sob *Sob

Xin Ja knew the reality. He has already accepted his reality. Although he wanted to be somebody, yet the truth is hard for him to accept. He is nothing but a weak and sickly young boy. Without his father, he is nothing.

Feeling depressed in his heart, Xin Ja began to dwell in his sorrow and hugged his knees while crying. He did not know how long he was in that position while floating in the void. In fact, he did not care. Even if he died today, he did not care.

If he loses his father… then he has already lost everything.

At this time, he suddenly heard a soft voice from his head.

"Hey… Umm… I don't know what is happening. But if you are hearing this, then you've already given up. And this is bad… if you give up… then there is a chance that the implant would be destroyed. I am not sure what is happening, but I have built a fail-safe, just in case."

Then from the void, Xin Ja slowly opens his eyes and looks around.

Then suddenly, in front of him, there stood a tall and handsome young man. The young man showed a faint smile on his face.

"You will be experiencing a sudden jolt on your body. This would make it easier for you to accept a portion of my spiritual Qi." The young man said.

After his words, Xin Ja suddenly felt his body feeling a bit warm. He could feel slight pain in some part of his body especially below his navel. But the pain soon subsided followed by strength entering his small body.

"Now… you must follow a set of patterns to be able to tap in this newfound power of yours. It may not be that much, but I think this is enough to heal any heavy wound you have just once…" the young man said, and then Xin Ja's mind was filled with different kinds of information on how to use that strange power and make it grow.

…

The golden beams of the morning sun slowly illuminate the darkroom. On the large bed lays a tall and sturdy-looking man while beside him lays a small boy.

The man is wrapped in a bandage and a strong smell of medicinal herbs permeated the air.

Beside the bed, a middle-aged man is sitting on a chair while reading a thin book.

"Ugh…"

The middle-aged man was startled upon hearing the small moaning sound.

He quickly turned his attention towards the two figures lying on the bed.

He noticed the small boy slowly moving and sitting up.

"Ah… My head… Hmm? What… what happened?" the boy asked with a baffled expression on his innocent face.

"Lad… You're awake at last… How are you feeling?" the middle-aged man asked.

When the child heard the familiar voice, he turns and saw the middle-aged man sitting on the chair beside the bed.

"Doc… Doctor Sun… you… wait! Papa… where is Papa? What happened to Papa?" Xin Ja suddenly said in a panic.

"Ssshhh… Calm down… It's okay, everything is alright…" Doctor Sun said as he pacified the young boy.

"Sigh… You both are lucky that I have not yet left my clinic… Your Papa is fine… He is lying there beside you."

When Xin Ja heard this, his eyes went wide in agitation, and quickly turn around.

Upon seeing the man sleeping calmly beside him, Xin Ja heaves a sigh of relief.. But his face frowns upon seeing the bloody bandage wrapping his father's body as a deep sadness immediately filled his heart.
