Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 371: Inch Power Technique

Time passes, and a day passes in the blink of an eye.

In the name of repaying a favor, Xia got the opportunity to help Fu Hua and assist in her treatment.

Xia got the hang of it quickly. Ninjas also have a good understanding of the structure of the human body. Ninjas have to kill people and save themselves. Most of the time, killing and saving people are just a matter of position.

The next day, a woman with fiery red hair came to the clinic. She saw Xia at a glance and said with a smile, "Oh? Is this your new disciple? Are you going to use me as a test subject for your training?"

The gorgeously dressed woman clapped her hands and laughed. Not a single strand of hair fell from her neatly tied bun, as if she was reluctant to cover the stunning whiteness of her neck.

Her red hair was eye-catching in itself, and according to common sense, she might have dressed more conservatively, but she simply showed it off.

"Don't joke, Ji Zi, I haven't accepted disciples for a long time." Fu Hua shook her head calmly.

But Ji Zi didn't seem to think so: "Why? I don't think this little sister looks like a doctor. She looks serious and has the demeanor of a martial artist."

Xia also shook her head and smiled bitterly: "No, I am just a rough man, sorry to embarrass you."

"Xia, bring me the silver needle and put it under the fire."

After Xia finished processing the needle and handed it to Fu Hua, Ji Zi looked around and asked, "Is the little shrine maiden from Yae Shrine not here today? I haven't seen her the last few times I came here."

"She should be preparing for the festival ceremony at the shrine."

By the way, since Kasumi said she could do it alone, she let Rin go to help Theresa and the others, and Rin was happy to see it happen.

"Although everyone is a little afraid of her, it's probably just because of her identity as a shrine maiden. I think she has a kind of bluffing cuteness." As Jizi said this, she thought of Theresa's ears.

"To be honest, it's not uncommon for Yae-jinja Shrine to have sealed away monsters. When I go to other villages to deliver goods, I always see various shrines. For example, at the Mikado Shrine, people pray to the gods for thick hair."

"People always have wishes that are difficult to satisfy, so this is the reason why shrines exist.

"

"It sounds like... there seem to be a lot of guests."

Xia glanced at the neatly arranged stack of amulets on the table, all of which were requested by Master Fu for the guests.

In addition to the most common "good health" and "safe travel", there are also "always victorious", "love and relationship", etc.

Fu Hua shook her head, a hint of regret in her tone: "Even if I can cure the physical pain, the psychological pain still needs to rely on God."

Then he looked at Ji Zi again: "You don't have any new injuries today. You are so busy, you don't need to come to my place specially."

"I have no choice but to rush back at the risk of my life."

Ji Zi put one hand on her waist, her thoughts seemed to go back to the past: "Every time I leave Yae Town for a long time, what haunts me most is Master Fu's [Inch Power Technique]"

Xia blinked: "Inch Force Technique?"

However, Fu Hua did not seem to have such an intention. She just inserted the silver needle that Xia handed to her into Ji Zi's specific acupuncture points: "You don't need to use the Inch Force Technique to treat your injury this time. You can relieve it with acupuncture with silver needles."

The person named Jizi glanced at Xia and just as she opened her mouth, she suddenly grinned: "How can that be... Ouch... Ouch, it hurts."

"You think this hurts? Then why are you still thinking about the Inch Force Technique...Okay, the treatment is over."

"Oh? Don't you want to know what I'm delivering this time?" Ji Zi suddenly revealed an intriguing smile.

Fu Hua still had no expression on her face: "The treatment is over, Ji Zi, please leave if you are fine."

Ji Zi seemed not to hear and continued, "It's a part of a mechanical puppet."

"...?"

Hearing the words "mechanical puppet", Xia secretly looked up at Ji Zi. She put away the playful smile on her face and looked at Fu Hua very seriously.

However, Fu Hua seemed to ignore her words: "I am not interested in your deal. Besides, it is not appropriate for you to casually reveal the contents of the goods. If you are not careful... you may even lose your life."

Ji Zi shrugged as a matter of course: "Of course I know this. It was me who worked in the black market before, not you."

Ji Zi stared at Fu Hua provocatively, but Fu Hua was busy packing up the silver needles.

After a long stalemate, Ji Zi picked up the fan and waved it, as if the confrontation between the two of them would disappear immediately: "I know. I know. Thank you for thinking about me."

"By the way, Xia, I will give you rehabilitation training later and check your recovery progress." Fu Hua suddenly said after packing up the silver needles.

"What... is it actually rehabilitation training?! Then the Inch Force Technique will definitely be used..."

Ji Zi's eyes widened, and she murmured: "Actually...actually..."

For some reason, Xia actually sensed a hint of murderous intent.

Fu Hua seemed to have noticed this and stood up: "Sorry, Xia, please go to the yard and wait for me. I will send the patient away."

"We've known each other for more than ten years. I'm just one of your patients now. I'll just leave on my own."

Xia: "......"

Ji Zi walked out without looking back, and Fu Hua did not try to keep her.

Although Kasumi was concerned about Himeko's mention of the mechanical puppet, calling her back in this atmosphere would only increase suspicion.

"Forget it, just ignore her."

Fu Hua sometimes felt a little sore in her temples, and after a while she looked at Xia.

"Xia, although your wounds are healing quickly, your body's functions may be declining, so you must adjust your physical condition to the state before the injury." Fu Hua said as she changed into her training clothes and assumed a starting position.

Just in case, Xia asked tentatively, "Master Fu, are you going to use... the Inch Power Technique that Jizi mentioned?"

Fu Hua's movements remained unchanged: "That's right, the so-called Inch Power Technique means that I will observe the direction of your luck during the battle and hit the appropriate acupuncture points to improve your physical condition. So what you need to do now is to use all your strength to attack me."

Having said that, it would be bad to refuse. And thinking of Ji Zi's look of wanting but not getting, Xia couldn't help but want to try this Inch Advance Technique. What kind of treatment is it?

However, what was beyond Xia's expectations was that Fu Hua's so-called inch-force technique, which allowed her to attack her with all her strength, sounded so mysterious, but in fact it was just for her to passively take a beating.

Even each move has a name for a different treatment method, such as - promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, dispelling wind and cold, relaxing muscles and unblocking bones, etc.
