Maxine quickly ran away from the force.

However, she was not fast enough and was injured by the needles that came flying out.

James’ body collapsed to the bed.

Tobias was sweating profusely.He wiped the sweat beads off his face, looking at James with relief.

"This young man is incredibly courageous.I can't believe he came up with something so dangerous,"said Tobias.

"Grandpa, how is he?"

Maxine could not be bothered by the injuries on her body and quickly inquired about James, who waslying lifelessly on the bed, covered in blood.

With a smile, Tobias stroked his white beard and said, "It was a success.His Governor Vessel,Conception Vessel, Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and every single vessel in his body were openedup.In theory, he should’ve entered the fifth rank."

"Really?" Maxine was shocked.

"Does that mean we'll be able to create more martial grandmasters of the fifth rank using this method?"

Tobias shook his head and said, exhausted, "It’s not going to be easy.

James’ meridians were already damaged, and he was on the brink of death.

By using acupuncture needles to protect his heart meridian, he was pretty much putting all his eggs inone basket.

However, we succeeded.It would be impossible for an ordinary person to bear such excruciating pain.

"Additionally, the True Energy used to perform this procedure would have to come from someone of atleast the fifth rank.The overwhelming True Energy would tear through one’s meridian and vessels.Anordinary martial artist wouldn’t dare attempt such a thing."

Maxine looked at the unconscious James and said with admiration, "He’s really courageous.By theway, even though James regulated all his meridians, they’ve already been damaged previously.Wouldhe be able to survive?"

Tobias said solemnly, "He would’ve had zero chances of surviving.

However, this kid is full of secrets and probably has a way to save himself."

Hearing this, Maxine was relieved.

"Continue taking care of him.I’ve exerted too much True Energy and will have to rest."

"Alright." Maxine nodded.

Tobias said no more.He exited the room.

Maxine checked on James and went to fetch him some warm water.She took out a towel and began towipe off the blood on his body.

Before she could finish cleaning James up, he woke up.He was completely drained of energy andcould not get up.

Despite that, a smug smile crept up on his face.

"How could you still be smiling, James? Do you know how dangerous things were for you just now?"

"How dangerous could it be?" James replied with a weak smile.

"My body was already beyond saving.No matter what pain I had to endure, it wouldn’t have beenenough to take my life.I'd protected my heart meridian, so I’d have survived even if it failed.But,thankfully, it worked."

"Mhm." Maxine nodded.

Then, she said, "Grandpa said that the meridians throughout your body have been openedup.Theoretically speaking, you’ve entered the fifth rank, and now, the only difference between you anda real fifth-rank grandmaster is True Energy.Since your meridians have been regulated, you would onlyneed to put in half the amount of effort.Your True Energy will continue increasing, and you'll enter thefifth rank soon."

"Alright.Enough said.I can’t take it anymore.Hurry and insert the Crucifier’s needles into me.I’ll die soonif you don't."

James understood his own body and knew that if he did not use the Crucifier, it would be the end ofhim.

"Okay."

Maxine nodded and reached out to take off the wire around James’ arm.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not remove it.

James slightly moved his arm, and the wire immediately loosened and scattered into eighty-one silverneedles.

"What the hell was that? Why didn’t it budge when I touched it?"

"Don’t ask.Just get on with it.In my current state, I can only bear two needles at most.Start with theheart meridian."

"Okay."

Maxine picked up the needle, infused it with True Energy, and inserted it directly into James’ chest.

As the needle entered his body, a stream of energy flowed through his whole body, beginning to healhim.

"Insert one more into my scalp."

Maxine followed his instruction.

After two consecutive insertions, her True Energy was exhausted again.She sat weakly on a chair witha pale face.She said, "I'm exhausted."

"Thank you.Go ahead and rest.I won’t die any time soon, but you'll have to recover your True Energyas soon as possible to heal my wounds.Otherwise, I won’t be able to survive."

"Alright.I'll leave you alone for now."

Maxine nodded and left.
