Super Doctor - Chapter 51 - Level One Access

As the energy cycle continued to circulate, the strange energy particles in the surrounding space slowly gathered toward the flow inside Xu Ze’s body. While passing through his muscles and bones, they subtly strengthened the cells within…

Beads of sweat gradually formed on Xu Ze’s forehead. His originally relaxed and carefree expression turned solemn.

Within the energy cycle, the speed of the circulating energy flow was slowing down. Xu Ze, however, was pushing with all his might to keep it moving.

So far, he had successfully completed eight full cycles. Now, he was attempting the ninth—a critical threshold. The higher the cycle, the denser the energy became, making it increasingly difficult to sustain. In the past, after the eighth cycle, the energy flow would always stall midway up his spine.

But today, Xu Ze was determined to break through.

If I can just push past the Baihui acupoint at the crown of my head… the ninth cycle will be complete.

Under his relentless effort, the energy inched forward along the Ren and Du meridians at a painstakingly slow pace—less than ten millimeters per minute. And right now, it was still stuck at the Dazhui acupoint at the base of his neck.

Sweat dripped down Xu Ze’s temples. His lips were pressed tightly together, his brows furrowed in concentration. The strain was immense—it felt like pushing against a thousand-pound boulder. Every tiny advance required exponentially more effort.

Yet, he refused to give up.

Thank god for Xiao Dao and Bond’s training over the past month. Without their relentless drills, his willpower wouldn’t have sharpened to this degree. The old, lazy Xu Ze would’ve called it quits long ago, telling himself, “Maybe next time.”

But persistence paid off.

Xu Ze could feel it—the energy was still moving, no matter how slowly.

Almost there… just a little further…

Then—

A faint, almost imperceptible pop echoed in his mind.

The energy surged past Baihui, cascading down his forehead like a waterfall. The surrounding energy particles trembled violently before rushing into his body at several times their usual speed, converging into the energy flow and swelling it rapidly.

Xu Ze watched in awe through his inner vision as the energy whirlpool in his dantian expanded, spinning wildly until it had more than doubled in size.

Just one extra cycle… and the difference is this huge?!

Meanwhile, inside his body, Xiao Dao was practically dancing with joy.

“25%… 28%… 30%… 60%… 83%!!” the AI crowed. “An 83% energy recharge in one go! Finally—time for an upgrade!”

A mechanical voice echoed in Xu Ze’s mind:

[Host has successfully established a Level 1 Energy Cycle. Knowledge integration: Level 1. Physique: F-grade. Upgrade conditions met. System upgrade commencing…]

[Ding—Upgrade complete. Time elapsed: 58 seconds. Energy consumed: 60%. Establishing host connection… Level 1 Access granted.]

In an instant, Xu Ze found himself standing in the virtual system space—now noticeably brighter and more expansive.

“It’s upgraded…!” He clenched his fists, exhilarated. “After all that grinding… FINALLY!”

Xiao Dao, watching from the side, stroked his nonexistent beard with an amused smirk. “Look at him, grinning like a kid who just got candy. Back in the day, even Tao Jun didn’t get this excited over a Level 6 upgrade…”

Xu Ze whirled toward him. “Xiao Dao! Hand over all the access privileges—NOW!”

The AI blinked innocently. “Uh… the system already auto-granted them?”

“Then tell me what they are!” Xu Ze grabbed Xiao Dao by the collar and shook him. “I busted my ass for this! Spill it, or I’m dismantling you!”

Xiao Dao teleported two meters away, smoothing his virtual clothes with exaggerated dignity. “Alright, alright! No need for violence. We’re civilized beings, aren’t we? As the saying goes—‘A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists’… or was it the other way around…?”

Xu Ze rolled up his sleeves.

“Okay, okay! Here!” Xiao Dao hastily summoned a holographic screen.

Xu Ze’s eyes locked onto the displayed text. His expression shifted between shock, disbelief, and sheer delight.

New Functions Unlocked:

- Blood Test

- Urinalysis

- Fecal Test

- ECG (Electrocardiogram)

- X-ray Vision

- Basic CPR (With Bioelectric Defibrillation)

The last one caught his attention immediately.

Bioelectric defibrillation?

Unlike a mechanical defibrillator, this function used living bioelectricity to directly stimulate cardiac cells—reviving a stopped heart with near-miraculous efficiency.

“With this… unless the patient is already beyond saving, it’ll be damn hard for anyone to die on my watch.”

Another surprise awaited him—the ring on his finger had hidden functions:
