With a flick of his wrist, Zhou Xuan grabbed the bearded man's right hand and pulled him up. At the same time, he used his superpower to heal the man's injuries instantly and restore his broken bones. The strength of his superpower at this moment was incomparable to what it had been before.
With his superpower activated, the bearded man's injuries recovered to about 70-80%. Although he still felt a slight pain, he was no different from an ordinary person. He could walk and move around, and as long as he didn't do strenuous exercise, he couldn't even feel that faint pain.
The bearded man was not prepared for this, and instead gritted his teeth to prepare for Zhou Xuan's revenge, which he could not avoid. But suddenly, Zhou Xuan did not make any move, and instead, the intense pain in his body suddenly disappeared!
The bearded man paused for a moment, then strangely shook his body and stomped his foot. The injury on his leg had disappeared without a trace. He looked at Zhou Xuan, who had let go and stepped back a few steps, and was smiling at him. He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, and then he understood!
It must have been Zhou Xuan who secretly treated his injury. However, the bearded man was a former special forces soldier and had a strong understanding of the body. He knew very well what kind of injury he had just suffered. A broken leg bone was an extremely serious injury. If he couldn't get timely treatment and there were no effective medical equipment, he would be in trouble. Even if he recovered, he would be a cripple!
But how could Zhou Xuan heal such a serious injury in a single second? Even if it's miraculous, I've never seen anything so miraculous. Either he's mistaken, or he wasn't actually injured that badly, and he's just blindfolded.
But there are a few things that don't make sense. First, the bearded man is a professional who knows a lot about physical injuries, and it's his own body, so he can't fake it. Second, Zhou Xuan only shook hands with him for less than three seconds. In such a short time, how could he have hidden it from him and healed his injuries?
This is truly inexplicable and untenable no matter what reason you give!
Of course, the onlookers could see from the beginning that the bearded man had suffered a very serious injury. The muscle was bulging out of the broken thigh bone. This kind of injury was already very serious. Although it was not fatal, it would be fatal to them because it impaired their ability to move. On the battlefield or when carrying out a mission, such an injury was basically a death sentence. If the enemy caught him, he would die even more miserably!
Therefore, the bodyguards who were watching all thought that they had misjudged the situation and that the bearded man had only suffered minor injuries. Zhou Xuan had helped him up and he was able to move around freely. Only the bearded man himself knew the truth of the matter.
After a moment of stunned silence, the bearded man quickly said to Zhou Xuan, "Thank you, thank you!"
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, waved his hand, and stepped back nonchalantly. Then he said to Wei Haihong, who was standing at the top of the gangway, "Brother Hong, let's go back to our room and have a chat!"
Zhou Xuan was no stranger to the tactic of slapping someone and then giving them a sweet treat. He used it this time and managed to subdue the bearded man. Although he still felt sorry for Su Er, he also understood that this mysterious young Chinese tycoon was far beyond their ability to deal with!
Wei Haihong smiled, reached out and pulled Zhou Xuan up, and then walked towards the top cabin. On this cruise ship, the highest cabin is the most luxurious and can only be enjoyed by people of their boss level.
Bob and Charles didn't bother to talk to the bodyguards. To them, losing Sue was a very small, even insignificant, matter. For super-rich people like them, human life was worthless. There was nothing that money couldn't solve. In previous operations, deaths and injuries were commonplace. The only difference was that this time, one of the dead was killed by one of their own.
But thinking about it again, it doesn't seem so unfair. These foreigners' ideas are different from Zhou Xuan's. Killing someone is a small matter. Moreover, Su Er shot so many bullets at Zhou Xuan. If Zhou Xuan were an ordinary person, wouldn't he be dead?
So it's natural that they can all be so open-minded. If it were them, they probably would have done even worse than Zhou Xuan.
Wei Haihong and Zhou Xuan entered through the hatch, with Bob and Charles following closely behind. Zhou Xuan, naturally aware that Bob and Charles had followed, stopped at the entrance to the recreation room and turned to the two men, saying, "Mr. Bob, Mr. Charles, I imagine you have some questions for me, right?"
Bob and Charles both stopped, and then Bob spoke up: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, I really have something to ask. I was quite surprised when I saw you show off your skills before, but I never imagined you would be this amazing. It's truly incredible. I was thinking..."
Bob paused, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "I was thinking, Louis was indeed seriously injured just now, right? Mr. Zhou was able to heal his injuries with just a handshake. This ability truly amazes me. Of course, Mr. Zhou has so many amazing abilities. I just want to ask, is Mr. Zhou practicing martial arts or magic?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Chinese martial arts are mysterious and unpredictable. I practice the secret martial arts of Wudang Mountain, which includes the cultivation of internal energy, acupoint striking, protective qi, and traditional Chinese medicine, among other things!"
Bob suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see. Mr. Zhou just used Tai Chi, using softness to overcome hardness, using minimal force to deflect great weight, throwing those bodyguards away. Then he used acupressure, and finally he used the amazing traditional Chinese medicine technique on Louis. I've heard of acupuncture needles and hot pot in traditional Chinese medicine..."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "That's not called hot pot, that's called cupping, cupping!"
Bob quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's cupping. They put a lit cup on a person's back. I've done it once. I was very curious at the time. The burning flame didn't burn people or hurt. And cupping... hehe, after cupping, the body really feels very comfortable. Mr. Zhou, you know how to do this too, right?"
Zhou Xuan chuckled but didn't answer. He naturally didn't know how to apply cupping therapy, but if he didn't answer, Bob would automatically assume that he agreed. Bob did indeed have a mysterious feeling about China. Chinese culture is profound and extensive, with many mysterious legends. The most amazing thing is China's magical martial arts. From some movies and TV shows, you can see that Chinese martial arts really do fly around and are extremely magical.
Charles chuckled and said, "Wei, Zhou, Bob, let's not stand here in this alleyway talking. It's tiring. Let's go inside, sit down, and chat!"
Bob chuckled sheepishly and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou, let's go inside and talk!"
After sitting down on the sofa in the recreation room, Bob took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, uncorked it, and then took four wine glasses, pouring a little less than half a glass into each one.
"Wei, Mr. Zhou, Charles, come on, let's have a glass of red wine to quench our thirst!" Bob pushed his glass towards the wine, then said regretfully, "The ice machine on the cruise ship is broken and hasn't been fixed yet. If we had ice in the red wine, it would taste so good!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "That's easy. I've practiced an internal martial art that's yin in nature. I can give it a try!"
Bob and Charles both looked at Zhou Xuan with curiosity. What did it have to do with making ice cubes, no matter how good his kung fu was?
Wei Haihong had witnessed Zhou Xuan's ice-making ability before, so it was nothing to be surprised about. Compared to Zhou Xuan's other special abilities, it was just a drop in the ocean. What was even more surprising was yet to come.
Zhou Xuan smiled, then placed all the wine glasses in front of him. He tapped the top of the stemmed glass with his finger. Bob and Charles stared wide-eyed, not even blinking. But at that moment, they suddenly saw two small, square ice cubes appear in the pale red wine in the four glasses!
Of course, it's not certain whether it's an ice cube or not, but it looks and is the same color as an ice cube. It's probably Zhou Xuan using magic tricks to throw something that looks like an ice cube in. When he threw it, the movement was too fast, and they didn't see it. Just like when the head was on the deck, Zhou Xuan's movement was too fast, and they couldn't see how he caught the bullet.
Zhou Xuan used his ice-energy ability to freeze the ice into ice blocks, and then used his transformation and absorption function to make small square pieces of ice, making two pieces for each cup.
With a smile, Zhou Xuan spread his hands and said, "Mr. Bob, Mr. Charles, please, try it and see how it tastes?"
Bob and Charles were still hesitant. Zhou Xuan's actions were too fast; they couldn't see what he had thrown into the cup. What if it was poison? They shouldn't drink it so easily, lest they be tricked.
But Wei Haihong didn't hesitate at all. He smiled and casually picked up a glass, gently swirled it, and the two ice cubes clinked together in the glass, making a crisp sound. After swirling it a few times, he took a small sip, savoring the taste of the red wine and the chilled coolness in his mouth, before finally swallowing it comfortably and praising, "Good wine, good ice!"
Bob and Charles exchanged a glance, then each picked up their glass and gently swirled it, tilting the glass slightly so that the ice cubes were close to the rim of their fingers. At that moment, they immediately felt the coolness of the ice cubes on their skin, and the coolness intensified over time!
This ice is real!
Bob and Charles immediately realized that the ice was definitely real. That was strange. If Zhou Xuan had hidden the ice on his person beforehand, he would be too amazing. How could he have known that Charles and he would invite them for drinks? Moreover, it wasn't prepared in advance, but rather a spur-of-the-moment decision. Even they themselves couldn't have known about it. There was absolutely no way Zhou Xuan could have prepared it in advance.
Furthermore, Zhou Xuan was dressed lightly, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt without any pockets. Where did he hide the ice? There's nothing on the cruise ship to store ice, so how did he preserve it? Even if he brought it from the shore, it should have melted long ago after a day.
Bob and Charles were stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. Seeing Zhou Xuan and Wei Haihong each holding a glass of wine, they quickly swirled their glasses a few times, poured a little wine into their mouths, and the cool, refreshing feeling made them immediately realize that there were definitely real ice cubes in their glasses.
However, the possibility of bringing ice from other places is too small, and the price is relatively high. The conditions are also not mature. Ice cannot last long in hot temperatures, especially in the current season, where ice is even more scarce.
Bob was so excited that after taking a sip, he unconsciously took another big gulp, emptying the glass of red wine, leaving only two crystal-clear ice cubes inside, not yet completely melted.
Bob swirled the ice in his empty glass and said, "That feels good. Hmm, Zhou, this ice can probably be reused, right?"
Bob then poured more drinks into the glasses of several people before finally pouring one for himself. The ice had only melted a tiny bit, with more than half still remaining. If it were to have any effect, it would be enough for three rounds of drinks.
After pouring the wine into the glass, Bob excitedly and curiously held it up, looking at the ice cubes under the light. He was incredibly curious and, after thinking for a moment, asked, "Zhou, how did you do that? That's amazing!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "There's nothing magical about it. It's just a yin-type internal martial art that I learned from an old Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain. When used, it can freeze into ice!"
After saying this, Zhou Xuan thought for a moment, then stretched out his palm and said to Bob, "Try it, touch my hand. I've used this skill to fix it in my palm, you'll know once you touch it!"
