Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2833

Around 7.30 p.m., Andrew, who had been meditating the whole time, suddenly clutched his chest. A heartbeat later, he spat out a mouthful of thick, black blood.

Valerie panicked and rushed over. "Are you okay? Andrew, you're scaring me!"

She held him up while Luther hurried over, checked him quickly, and let out a relieved laugh.

He said, "He's fine. This is good news. That was the stagnant blood clogging his system. Now that it's out, his body can function better."

Andrew stood and tried moving around, and his entire presence felt completely renewed.

Valerie lit up. "Andrew, did you recover?"

Andrew shook his head with a helpless smile. "Silly girl, it's not that easy."

He turned to Luther and carefully chose his words. "Mr. Johnston, this ancient manual truly has miraculous healing properties. However, my meridians and energy core are either destroyed or sealed, so I can't make any further progress. At this rate, the most I can hope for is to regain normal mobility. But breaking through all these barriers? That's going to be difficult."

Luther frowned. "That doesn't make sense, Andrew. By all accounts, you've completely comprehended this ancient manual. You saw what happened earlier. The manual disappeared and transformed into an ordinary-looking book, yet you were able to read through it effortlessly. According to Mr. Gallagher's will, you're absolutely destined to receive this manual's teachings."

Andrew remained silent for a moment, deep in thought. Then, he spoke slowly, "Valerie, Mr. Johnston, I have an idea. You two haven't had full access to this manual or finished reading it completely. Now, let me share with you what I've read and understood. Let's see if you might gain something from it as well."

Luther looked both delighted and hesitant. "Andrew, are you really willing to share?"

Being a renowned martial arts master with extraordinary experience and insight, Luther said with certainty, "Andrew, hearing the scripture from you created miraculous effects for both Valerie and me."

He continued, "Don't give up. I believe you'll absolutely discover something unique for yourself. Even though your energy core and meridians are both sealed and damaged."

Andrew nodded. "Just now, while I was teaching you both, I meditated on it again myself. Perhaps I've figured out where the problem lies."

Luther asked, "Where?"

Andrew glanced down at his lower abdomen, his expression turning cold. "It's still my energy core. It's not damaged, but there's one final seal remaining on it. Inside that seal, there's an extremely malicious force. Unless I eliminate that force, it will continue to suppress me and prevent any progress."
