Where's my golden core? Did you think I removed a kidney stone?

Zhang Yuanping's recent impression of Su Ye can no longer be simply described as "satisfied".

This young man is clever and quick-witted, and he has definitely put in a lot of hard work! His medical knowledge is frighteningly solid.

At first, Zhang Yuanping only thought Su Ye was the kind of academic genius who could study well, but after spending the last few days with Su Ye, he realized that this guy was a monster!

The progress is too fast.

It's ridiculously fast.

Sometimes, as soon as the patient finished speaking, while Zhang Yuanping was still sorting out his thoughts, Su Ye would already have his own judgment. On several occasions, Su Ye simply mentioned his own thoughts, which gave Zhang Yuanping a sudden shock.

"How could I have overlooked that?"

This thought has been popping up far too often these past few days.

What bothered Zhang Yuanping the most was that the points Su Ye made were often indeed crucial.

That's really dangerous.

Having practiced medicine for so many years, how could I suddenly understand everything from just a few words from a resident trainee?

This often made Zhang Yuan feel a subtle sense of embarrassment.

I'll mentor a resident trainee.

Is the pressure really that high?

Is this the trouble of raising a genius?

Sometimes, when Zhang Yuanping sat in the consultation room and glanced at Su Ye, who had a calm expression next to him, he couldn't help but cheer himself up.

Zhang Yuanping, you need to stay calm.

After practicing medicine for so many years, you've managed to hold your own!

……

Meanwhile, Su Ye's life was also extremely regular.

I work during the day.

I practice at night, absorbing spiritual energy and pondering the intricacies of breathing techniques and short-range force.

In addition, he would also take time to read books on certain subjects.

Anatomy, pathology, neurology, radiology, emergency medicine, and even some obscure specialized materials—anything he deemed useful would be pulled from the bookshelf and quickly scanned.

Now, Su Ye can read an extremely thick book in just three minutes.

And it's not simply about flipping through it and skimming over it.

Instead, it involves recording, understanding, and integrating all the content.

Once those words entered his eyes, they seemed to be directly imprinted into his mind. The chapter structure, knowledge framework, key details, and logical flow were all automatically organized clearly.

Su Ye's brain is no longer like that of an ordinary person; it's more like a huge library that can be accessed at any time.

Calling it a "walking medical encyclopedia" is not an exaggeration at all.

However, Su Ye himself was quite restrained.

He always knew very well that true medical masters were not strong in terms of memory and understanding, but in their pioneering work in the frontiers of medicine, their insight into the nature of diseases, and their exploration and creation in the unknown.

He's simply learning from the accumulated knowledge of his predecessors more quickly and thoroughly.

"Although I've had a lot of advantages on my medical journey, I'm still far from reaching the end."

Su Ye reminded himself of this again and again.

What he truly lacks in medicine right now is only one thing.

Clinical experience.

He had somehow managed to elevate his knowledge to a level that was almost like cheating, thanks to his water-based golden core and spiritual power.

But the patient is alive.

People are not textbooks.

Moreover, as time goes by, the thread-like spiritual energy in the sky is subtly changing people's bodies, and there are more and more strange cases in hospitals.

Many things can no longer be solved simply by having a knowledge base; he must constantly engage with, judge, and discern in order to see the line between illness and "supernatural" more clearly.

But in the end...

It's different when you're cheating.

He has already taken one step across a place that would take others at least ten years to reach.

……

I'm leaving get off work as usual today.

Su Ye carried his schoolbag and walked back along the street.

As dusk falls, streetlights illuminate the city one by one, shattering it into fragments of warm yellow and dim light. Crowds throng and cars flow endlessly, the sounds of horns, footsteps, and music from shops blending together to create the most ordinary evening in Jiangcheng.

But Su Ye's mind was still on the cases he had seen at the hospital that day.

One boy in particular left a deep impression on him.

On the surface, it was just a very common neurological problem, with localized twitching, muscle stiffness, and occasional brief loss of control. But when Su Ye actually came into contact with him, he vaguely felt that the changes were becoming somewhat inexplicable.

This boy's condition falls somewhere between extraordinary and normal illness.

It's like one foot is already inside the threshold, but the other foot is still outside.

This gave Su Ye a clearer sense of crisis for the first time.

The dense fog a while ago may have indeed had a significant impact on the world.

However, this influence still lurks in the shadows.

Those without talent.

It is also constantly evolving.

However, without a super-talented vessel like the 'Golden Core,' their 'evolution' becomes exceptionally dangerous.

Like Wang Ming, whose kidney crystals manifested his talent, he embarked on a path of "awakening" with distinct characteristics.

The evolution of ordinary people is a cruder, more chaotic, and more irrational process.

Some people suddenly become incredibly strong, to the point that they can't control it; others experience inexplicable nerve twitches, as if an unfamiliar set of reaction circuits has appeared in their bodies.

Some people can generate a lot of static electricity with just a wave of their hand, with sparks flying from their fingertips, as if the air itself is crackling with electricity.

This is not the complete transcendence.

It's more like after a surge of spiritual energy pressed down, all living beings instinctively undergo some kind of chaotic transformation.

Some people will die in this transformation.

Someone will be ruined.

Some people use this to achieve instant success.

This is an era that is slowly spiraling out of control.

Su Ye was one of the few who had realized this in advance.

Ok?

Su Ye suddenly frowned.

wrong.

In that instant, Su Ye keenly sensed a very faint sense of danger.

Rumors are on the back.

His steps did not stop, nor did his expression change.

However, the water-based spiritual power suddenly spread out in the next moment, like an invisible tide, spreading outwards.

locking.

position.

Capture.

The next second, Su Ye's gaze sharpened slightly.

His attention was focused on a stray cat next to a roadside trash can.

The cat was enormous, with messy fur and an outline that somewhat resembled a Maine Coon. Its shoulders and back were arched high, its limbs were long, and its fangs gleamed with a cold, white light under the dim streetlights.

It was standing next to the trash can, its back arched, letting out a low growl at Su Ye.

That sound didn't sound like a cat.

More like a wild beast cornered.

Su Ye's gaze slowly darkened.

This cat...

Evolved organisms?

More like a mutated creature!
