Chapter 56 So what if I, Chen Zhan, am born with a tough bone?
The second floor consists of private rooms prepared for guests, but only one room was lit up.

Ye Ningzhen pushed the door open and entered.

Chen Zhan, having just washed his face, looked up at her and laughed, "Miss Ye, you come in without knocking? This isn't the Lay Buddhist Association."

They looked at each other in silence. Chen Zhan could see the question in the other's eyes, but he was in no hurry to speak.

Ye Ningzhen was relieved to see that Chen Zhan seemed to be alright.

"The shop is all mine, why are you knocking on the door?"

"But I'm a customer. Are you suggesting this place is taking advantage of me?"

"Did you pay? You ate a whole table of food from me, and if you didn't pay, you're a bad customer."

Chen Zhan smiled. Ye Ning had truly been through thick and thin with him; the two were in the same boat. Strictly speaking, Ye Ning was indeed the main culprit in Itagaki's death.

He doesn't easily trust anyone, but the two share the same stance and have a history of committing crimes together.

The three ironclad principles of life are nothing more than this.

Therefore, Ye Ning is one of the few people he can trust now.

Chen Zhan was somewhat speechless. He really didn't have any money, so he laughed and said, "If you don't have any money, how about we barter?"

Ye Ningzhen stared intently at Chen Zhan with her peach blossom eyes, blinked, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Bartering? You were chased for a whole day and night, and you still had things on you?"

Chen Zhan's gaze drifted to the black cloth bag on the ground. "You'll know as soon as you see it."

Ye Ningzhen stood up and took a step, opening the black cloth bag, which immediately attracted attention.

The maroon gun body features a rotating bolt action, a simple and compact structure consisting of a bolt, locking lugs, and firing pin.

The barrel is typically over 70 centimeters long, equipped with a scope, and contains a box of ammunition in the bag.

Ye Ning was a top-notch gun user, so naturally he knew her, as did Chen Zhan; she was extremely famous.

Chen Zhan was also puzzled as to how the Japanese lieutenant possessed such a gun.

"Mosin-Nagant? You went to kill that sniper that day?"

Ye Ningzhen exclaimed in surprise, talking to Chen Zhan while keeping her hand on the gun, constantly feeling around to easily remove the bullets. She then lifted the Mosin-Nagant with one hand and tested the scope.

"That's right, any revenge that can be taken should be taken on the same day."

"Is this enough to buy you a meal?" Chen Zhan asked.

Ye Ningzhen put down her gun, stood up, and walked to Chen Zhan's side, saying:

"Don't joke around. You saved my life and created a perfect opportunity to get rid of Itagaki. I can never repay this kindness."

Chen Zhan didn't care; saving Ye Ningzhen was just a coincidence, and killing Itagaki was the reason the two became friends.

Nothing more than two words.

Resist Japan!

That is, "Comrade!"

"Now it's your turn to save me," Chen Zhan replied calmly to her question.

Then Chen Zhan stood up, unbuttoned the front of his tightly wrapped black clothes, and tore them apart forcefully. The black clothes clung to his skin, making a hissing sound.

Under Ye Ningzhen's horrified gaze.

Chen Zhan forcibly tore off the black clothes that were covered in blood and flesh and were almost fused with his body.

To prevent the blood from flowing, he had no choice but to wrap himself up tightly in this way, which would have left him covered in blood and flesh. Otherwise, with bloodstains everywhere, he would have been unable to shake off the patrol dogs.

After the black clothes were torn off, the chilling air and the stench of blood dissipated, exposing the majestic back to the air.

The muscles and bones looked as if they had been carved by a knife and axe, and the scars on them made Ye Ningzhen frown and widen her peach blossom eyes.

Two knife marks, one on his waist and one on his back, covered the flesh in a pale white color, resembling two twisted centipedes embedded in the skin. Dark red blood beads clung to the edges of the churning flesh, slowly trickling down the muscle fibers.

Eight bullets were embedded in his back above the knife wound, their brass gleaming, half embedded in his flesh and half exposed to the air.

There were herbs on the other two bullet holes, and the bleeding had stopped.

But that wasn't all; Chen Zhan's arms were in even worse shape. This was the most fatal injury, with countless veins bursting out on both arms, all caused by the force of Hauge's blow that the tendons couldn't withstand.

The blood on his arms had congealed, the black blood coiling and swirling like a blood dragon's tendons.

This type of injury, where a large tendon is ruptured, is the most difficult to treat.

Difficult to treat, difficult to raise.

Even if many people recover, they will be left with hidden injuries, making them unable or afraid to exert force.

Because knowing that you have torn a tendon and that you will be unable to exert force for a long time after it is repaired will leave a psychological suggestion.

People who fight often know that they will subconsciously protect the area that has been seriously injured.

Those who practice martial arts concentrate almost all their power in their arms. If they dare not exert force in their arms, they cannot unleash their full strength in a fight, and most of their skills are wasted.

Just after Chen Zhan finished showing his injuries, he said to the door, "Come in first, and close the door."

He had already discovered the two women eavesdropping and peeping outside the door.

Ruan Zhi pushed the door open and came in, feeling a little embarrassed, but when she saw Chen Zhan's injuries, she couldn't help but ask, "Wow, are you even human? This body is too abnormal."

"Azhi! How can you talk like that?"

Li Qingsu scolded her, and Ruan Zhi looked at Li Qingsu as if she didn't care, but when she saw Ye Ningzhen's eyes, she softened instantly.

"Sorry, I was just kidding, but you really are amazing!"

She couldn't think of any word besides "perverted" to describe Chen Zhan.

"Xiao Zhi, fetch my medicine box," Ye Ningzhen said in a deep voice.

"Oh, good!"

Ruan Zhi ran downstairs and quickly retrieved a large square box.

"You two go outside and wait. Have someone prepare hot water and medicine."

The two women left gracefully, leaving only Chen Zhan and Ye Ningzhen.

"Let me remove the bullet and disinfect it first. The wound on your arm requires acupuncture and rest," Ye Ningzhen said.

"Go ahead and do as you please."

Chen Zhan smiled faintly, the scene between the two of them now was exactly the same as that in the Buddhist Association on that day, only the roles had been reversed.

Ye Ningzhen immediately recognized her medical skills. She opened the box, took out a clean handkerchief, and first pulled out the eight bullets embedded in Chen Zhan's back one by one.

He then asked, "What happened to this bullet?"

Chen Zhan knew what she was asking. "Back then, I was blocked by an earthen wall, otherwise I would have been riddled with holes."

Ye Ningzhen smiled and said, "There's nothing blocking the way in the main hall of the Lay Buddhist Association."

"Hey, I'm naturally tough."

It was inexplicable, but people with extraordinary abilities were not uncommon in the martial arts world, so Ye Ningzhen didn't take it seriously.

There are those born with superhuman strength, those born as prodigies, and those born as Buddhist disciples. So what if I, Chen Zhan, am born with an indomitable spirit?
Ye Ningzhen disinfected each of the bullet holes on Chen Zhan's back, then applied a special medicine. The cool sensation penetrated the skin, greatly reducing the burning sensation.

The same applies to knife wounds; they are quickly treated and wrapped with gauze.

The two were close together, and Chen Zhan could sense that Ye Ningzhen was holding her breath and concentrating, afraid of not handling the situation well.

Clean the blood clots off your arm, use acupuncture to promote blood circulation and regulate Qi, and apply medicine.

Chen Zhan was wrapped in gauze like a rice dumpling.

Ye Ningzhen said, "The other injuries are fine, they don't damage the root cause. Your major tendon is ruptured, so it's impossible to treat this kind of injury quickly. You can only rest and recuperate. Daily acupuncture to improve blood circulation will help you avoid serious illness."

Even if you recover, you'll likely never be the same as before.

Her voice became somewhat somber as she spoke.

Having witnessed firsthand Chen Zhan's single-handed battle against over thirty Japanese invaders in the Buddhist hall, displaying overwhelming power and sweeping across the land, I believe that both his martial arts skills and his spirit are at their peak in this lifetime.

With proper training, it didn't take long before he became a Grandmaster of Internal Energy at less than thirty years old!
In the future, it's not impossible to take another step forward and swallow a golden pill!
But it's a pity.
