Chapter 47: The Amazing Surgeon
Surgeons are an auxiliary profession in logistical support no matter where they are.
This profession requires a lot of time to learn professional medical and pharmacy knowledge, so generally speaking, few doctors have the extra energy to study martial arts.
Moreover, the advanced potion sequences they take usually awaken attributes related to "memory", "learning", "brain development" and "mental focus". Their relatively weak bodies make them unsuitable for learning melee combat skills.
Even though Ryan had pestered Sam to learn some common skills of a warrior these two days, in Canossa's eyes, he was just a young man who had just entered the extraordinary world and was interested in martial arts.
She couldn't tell that Ryan had only recently advanced to the [Awakener] level and still lacked a lot of basic supernatural knowledge.
Normally, a novice of this level could never be a match for an adult Wind Wolf.
But in this actual combat, she discovered that Ryan's fighting ability was not as weak as she had expected.
Even... the performance is amazing!
…
"Hey...his mechanical arm is quite interesting."
Canossa looked at Ryan's mechanical arm that easily blocked the wind wolf's claws, and a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She knew, of course, that this guy was not a veterinarian, but she also thought that the robotic arm that always accompanied him was some kind of surgical aid.
Now that I see it, it is actually a melee weapon used by fighters?
Once the miniature steam boiler started up, he was able to easily break the giant wolf's jaw! Such a terrifying increase in strength must be a high-precision steam skeleton, not a "shabby" street product...
“Ah, I’m mistaken… This looks like the work of a master mechanic. Could it be that Ymir-sama left it to him?”
Canossa's beautiful eyes turned, and she felt that she had guessed something.
She originally wanted to ask a few followers to take care of Ryan. It's okay to get hurt, but don't let such an interesting doctor be bitten to death by the wind wolf.
Now it seems that Ryan's performance is not worse than those veteran hunters!
Facing the attack of the demon wolf, he was extremely calm and not panicked at all. And because of the assistance of the sophisticated mechanical arm, he was even more at ease than others.
"This body movement and instinctive reaction are also the result of professional training. Before he advanced to the extraordinary level, he should have learned the basic martial arts of an assassin."
With his vision, Canossa could see Ryan's martial arts foundation at a glance, and said with emotion: "It seems that he has put in some hard work to master the basic martial arts to the level of 'comprehensive'..."
But because I have seen it, I will become more and more curious.
Ryan is a doctor, and it is unexpected that he can use this heavy melee mechanical arm.
But during the fight, he actually used his skilled assassination skills?
Cruel, cunning, and a fatal blow...
This person is clearly a seasoned thief, how can he look like a frail doctor or fighter?
"He was calm in dealing with the crisis and acted decisively. He was not born into a noble family, but rather seemed to be a professional killer trained by some organization. Where on earth did the princess find such a... strange guy?"
Canossa quickly analyzed some information based on his experience.
But I couldn’t understand it anymore.
At the moment, she saw that Ryan's martial arts style was very mixed, but he shouldn't be a doctor at all...but he was.
Not only is he capable of close combat, but he can also expertly help treat seriously injured patients, and his surgical skills are solid as well.
And it’s not over yet.
What surprises Canossa is yet to come!
…
On the battlefield, Ryan's blood was boiling and he was already in a focused combat state.
This was not the first time he had fought against the "Wind Demon Wolf", so he responded calmly.
When he was at the Weasel Phantom Thieves' new training base, the instructors would also catch the magic wolves for training. Many of his fellow newcomers died at the hands of the magic wolves.
But now, what we are facing is not just a single magic wolf, but a group of magic wolves that know how to cooperate!
Although his alloy steam mechanical arms made him not afraid of the claws and bites of the demon wolves, he could not withstand their large numbers.
And at this moment, the crisis suddenly emerged.
At this moment, when Ryan was trying to stop the bleeding of a wounded man, a lone wind wolf unexpectedly broke through the defense circle, and rushed towards him with bared teeth, accompanied by a gust of bloody wind.
A transparent aura condensed on the wolf's claws, which was a "sharp" grab condensed by the wind element.
Ryan instinctively raised his hand to block, accurately using his mechanical arm to block the wind wolf's bite, then repeated the same trick, reaching in with his fingers and grabbing the soft flesh at the base of its tongue.
However, he didn't expect that at the moment when blood spurted out, another hungry wolf rushed over from his blind spot and attacked his neck directly!
During this time interval, Ryan's mechanical arm was still in the mouth of the other demon wolf, and he had no time to pull his hand out and wave his mechanical arm to block it again.
Ryan's ears moved slightly and his pupils shrank suddenly.
…
"Danger!"
Seeing this scene, Canossa, who was watching the battle from a distance, had a flash in her beautiful eyes and a moment of worry in her heart.
But before her worry showed on her face, she saw an unbelievable scene!
Ryan, who had no time to block, did not show any panic on his face, nor did he intend to raise his arms hastily. Instead, he lowered his center of gravity, pushed off the ground and rushed forward.
This move was not a retreat but an advance, directly avoiding the wolf's claws and ramming into the lower ribs of the demon wolf.
"Bang", like the sound of a sandbag falling heavily to the ground.
What was surprising was that the demon wolf, which was more than three meters long and weighed two to three hundred kilograms, let out a muffled "woof" after being hit, and flew backwards!
…
"Iron Mountain!"
Canossa's beautiful eyes widened, as if she had seen something impossible. She was surprised and suspicious: "How could he be so skilled...didn't he only learn it for two days?"
The sinking, bumping and shaking that Ryan just did, if not the three-step "Iron Mountain Backrest" that Sam demonstrated the day before yesterday!
Although the power of this martial art cannot be compared with Sam's, it is definitely not something that a newbie who has just started learning for two days can use.
Look at that foundation. How could he be so fluent without months of hard practice?
"This learning talent... is too exaggerated."
Finally, Canossa felt that he understood something.
During the past few days of traveling together, although he felt that Ryan's character and talent were all good, he was just good.
Young talents of this level are not considered very outstanding in the upper aristocratic circle.
But now seeing this "Iron Mountain Backrest", she was truly astonished, as if she saw a "bright spot" in him that could blind people's eyes!
"No wonder Ymir brought him with her, he's actually a martial arts genius..."
Canossa felt that this should be the case. Otherwise, how could someone master a martial art that he had never mastered before to such a level in just two days?
Although the extraordinary universal combat skill "Iron Mountain Backing" is not difficult to master, it will take a novice three or two months to get a glimpse of the basics.
(Martial arts realm: initial glimpse – mastery – perfection – pinnacle.)
I want to perfectly create the three-stage damage of crash, shock, and knockback.
This level of mastery is simply impossible without a year or two of hard practice!
The only explanation is that he has an extraordinary talent for learning!
Seeing this scene, Kanossa didn't know what she was thinking of. A hint of anticipation flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she murmured, "Maybe, I can let him try..."
…
Not far away, Sam, who was wrestling with the explosive brown bear, was naturally keeping an eye on the battlefield.
When he saw Ryan knocking the demon wolf away, he looked astonished as if he had seen a ghost.
No one else would be more shocked than him, because... he was the one who taught that kid the "Iron Mountain Backrest" himself!
He knew very well that Ryan was a "rookie" with absolutely no martial arts background...but in just two days, he had already mastered everything?!
At that moment just now, Sam seemed to see his own shadow in Ryan. In that collision, he could not have done better in terms of technique alone.
As we all know, even the same martial arts technique can sound very different when performed by different people.
But Ryan's "Iron Mountain Backstroke" just now, whether it was the force, luck, collision... or even the small details of arching the back and retracting the shoulder armor to accumulate power, were exactly the same as what he demonstrated that day!
This... that kid named Ryan actually remembered it completely?
The exaggerated proficiency can be called "skill copying". This is truly a monstrous learning talent!
…
Not only Canossa and Sam, everyone present who noticed this scene was stunned at this moment.
The members of the "Hunting Team" also looked over there. They were worried that the young doctor who came to help would be killed by the wolf, but now the danger was resolved quietly.
Originally, they thought Ryan was just a follower of the beautiful countess...
But now it seems that this low-key private doctor actually has such strong practical ability, which is not inferior to those veteran wasteland hunters!
Moreover, his reaction speed and calmness were very sophisticated. Is he really a surgeon?
