Morphing Heavens - Chapter 97 - Closing Ceremony

Backstage, medical staff were tending to Tina’s wounds. Sitting on the stretcher, Tina looked particularly exhausted, supporting her chin with one hand, her eyes vacant. Blood was seeping through the bandage on her injury, which had already bled several times. However, the wound had torn into an artery, and due to her severe fatigue, she couldn’t control the blood flow with her spatial power! The doctor applying the treatment was sweating profusely; he had never dealt with such a serious injury before and was anxiously holding the hemostatic clamp while trying his best.

Seeing Tina’s breath becoming weaker and weaker, Shara, standing nearby with a bandage, exclaimed anxiously, “You fools, how can you not stop this little amount of blood? If you can’t provide decent medical care, then don’t hold competitions! If my sister dies here, I swear I’ll skin you alive!” The doctor, covered in cold sweat, waved his hand and said, “It’s not that our medical care is inadequate; it’s just that your leader has exhausted too much true qi. Without her own spatial power protecting her, the blood vessels can’t heal!”

“What about the Tear of the Angel? Just apply that!” Xiulu quickly suggested.

The doctor replied, “Well… you know, our country isn’t exactly wealthy. Where could we find something like the Tear of the Angel? If we had it, we would definitely use it on your leader!”

Upon hearing this, Shara flew into a rage, “Then call the king’s imperial physician! Hurry!” The doctor hesitated and said, “Well… it might not be good. The imperial physician is far away in the imperial capital; distant water can’t quench a nearby fire!” Hearing this, Shara grabbed him by the neck and shouted, “Bastard! Are you just going to let her wait here to die? I warn you, if she really dies here, your country will pay for it…”

“Don’t be hard on him; I know this has gone too far. I shouldn’t have used that. I’m fine. Let’s go out and receive the award,” Tina interrupted, biting her teeth silently and slowly standing up. She staggered towards the door. Shara’s eyes welled up with tears, and she slowly released the doctor, rushing forward to support Tina. “Don’t go; we don’t want this miserable prize! You need to rest!”

Tina forced a smile and said, “What are you talking about? We’ve worked so hard to get here. Even if I have to die, I’m going! That honor belongs to us!” With that, she continued to walk forward. Lyman quickly picked up a coat and draped it over her because she knew Tina didn’t want anyone to see her wounds!

Several people helped Tina to the door when Yun Huo suddenly blocked their way. He said, “Weren’t you supposed to be fainted? How are you up and about so quickly?”

Startled by his sudden appearance, Tina was taken aback. Just as Shara was about to push him aside, Tina stopped him and said, “What are you doing here? Are you here to gawk at my predicament? No matter how messy I look, I still beat you! Please step aside!”

Yun Huo said nothing and used his spatial power to push away those supporting Tina. In an instant, Tina lost her support and nearly fell over. Bracing herself against the doorframe, she gritted her teeth and said, “What do you want? Are you going to kill us to silence us?” With that, the air around her once again began to condense, preparing to defend herself.

At that moment, Shara looked at Yun Huo in surprise, “Aren’t you severely injured as well? How can you exert such strong spatial power?”

“Because I have this!” Yun Huo replied, pulling out a small blue-and-white porcelain potion bottle. It was the same one Mu Xueye had sent to him six months ago, which he had been saving until now. After getting injured today, he had used some, and the effects were surprisingly good. Applying it would immediately promote healing. He lifted Tina up with one hand and said, “Look at how badly you’re hurt. The doctors here really can’t help. We have some leftover potion; let me give it to you.” He placed the potion bottle in Tina’s hand and turned to leave.

“Why are you giving me a potion? We’re not that close,” Tina asked immediately.

With his back to her, Yun Huo chuckled, “Haha, because you remind me of someone. He’s my idol, and your demeanor resembles his! Besides, this competition is meant to foster friendship, so if I can help, I will. Just don’t forget to return the potion bottle later.” With that, he stepped out of their sight.

Tina turned to Shara and asked, “What do you think he’s up to?”

Shara smiled and replied, “It’s nothing; he just came to give us some potion. Hurry and give it a try!”

After hearing Shara’s words, Tina tore open the bandages covering her wounds, and blood immediately gushed out. She then opened the potion bottle and a familiar yet gradually forgotten scent wafted into her mind. Next, she applied the potion to her wounds, and miraculously, the blood vessels that had been unable to stop bleeding began to heal. The other injuries on her body ceased to hurt, and her fatigue slowly melted away. As her strength gradually returned, it wasn’t long before her wounds started to heal on their own. Tina stretched joyfully and exclaimed, “I remember now! An elite gave my father this kind of potion before. Yes, this is it! But this bottle is even more refined; his medical skills must have improved!”

Watching the transformation unfold in Tina, the doctor cautiously asked, “Can I take a look at what that is? In all my years, I haven’t come across such a miraculous ointment.” Tina turned to him and handed over the potion. The doctor opened the bottle and took a careful sniff. Cold sweat immediately streamed down his face as he stammered, “This! This potion contains components of the Tear of the Angel!”

Tina shrugged nonchalantly, “Who cares? As long as it heals me.” With that, she took back the potion bottle, threw on her coat, and stepped outside.

At that moment, the king was making his way to the podium. Tina quickly jumped up onto the stage, with her sisters following her in both surprise and excitement.

As she reached the podium, King Sal smiled and placed a medal around Tina’s neck, saying, “Young lady, you have great talent. Would you consider joining our army?”

“Thank you for the compliment, but I prefer the freedom of travel,” Tina politely declined.

Sal nodded, indicating that he wouldn’t press the issue. He then turned to the audience and said, “Thank you to all the contestants for pouring their sweat and blood onto the arena, bringing us an incredible competition. Let’s give them a round of applause! For the next three days, we will celebrate in the arena. Everyone, enjoy the food and festivities!” With that, he waved goodbye to the audience.
