Having rested for a night at the Maeda Family's annex, Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi finished their breakfast before taking the car prepared by the Maeda Family back to the hotel where the academic conference was being held, ready to attend today's meeting.

Perhaps it was because Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi had resolved the mysterious source that had disturbed everyone's rest the night before, when they entered the venue today, the attendees' spirits clearly seemed better than yesterday's, at least no one was yawning anymore.

Seeing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling a sense of achievement for doing a good deed anonymously.

"Mr. Chen Yu, what are you laughing at?" Seeing Chen Yu suddenly smile, Hiromi Jounouchi couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chen Yu gently shook his head and whispered in her ear with a laugh, "I'm laughing because everyone can finally stay awake today."

Hearing such a cheeky comment from Chen Yu, Hiromi Jounouchi couldn't help but let out a laugh herself and gave him a little push.

However, Hiromi Jounouchi could understand why Chen Yu would say that, after all, no matter what, the reason everyone didn't sleep well and dozed off during yesterday's meeting was precisely the mysterious glow they had resolved last night.

Recalling the glow that merely observing had made her feel extremely uncomfortable, Hiromi Jounouchi still felt a lingering fear at the thought, and couldn't help but ask Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen Yu, do you know what that glow was last night? That thing was... just too eerie!"

Hiromi Jounouchi thought for a long time, but couldn't find a proper and fitting adjective to describe the glow she saw last night, eventually settling on 'eerie' to express her feelings.

"I'm not quite sure myself, I haven't heard of such a thing before," Chen Yu said in regards to last night's glow, feeling only its eerie mystery and a chilling sense of danger, but as to what it was exactly, he had no idea either.

However, nerve reconstruction surgery was, after all, a cutting-edge area of medical research. Anyone presenting on this topic at such an academic conference naturally had some substance, so even though the audience was not listening very closely, they were not completely disengaged either.

Especially a few specialists in the related field—having detected the depth in what seemed to be Chen Yu's dry presentation—became focused and serious, listening carefully to every sentence from Chen Yu, analyzing the results he had achieved.

The more they listened, the more surprise was evident on the faces of the neurosurgery experts. From Chen Yu's talk, they had discerned he had made a breakthrough in the field of neural reconstruction.

"Excuse me for interrupting!" one of the experts couldn't hold back anymore, raised his hand to interrupt Chen Yu's presentation, and asked, "Professor Chen, from what I have just heard, can I assume that the surgical technique you developed can improve the success rate of neural reconstruction and ensure that at least 60% of nerve fibers are correctly connected, with the remaining 40% leaving no sequela that would affect the patient's quality of life?"

"Yes, you can think so, because according to my research, just by following the seven surgical techniques I have provided, this can be achieved." Chen Yu nodded. Although interrupting someone's presentation was quite impolite, he still answered the expert's question and continued, "Based on my research, the nerve fibers only need to..."

However, before Chen Yu had finished speaking, another expert raised his hand and interrupted his presentation as well.

Seeing this, Chen Yu stopped his presentation and looked towards the several neurosurgery experts seated in the front row, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Alright, although it's not the time for questions, if you have any doubts, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to respond."

Once Chen Yu said this, those who had been listening attentively immediately raised their hands, but ultimately, a venerable-looking expert in the front row was given the opportunity to speak: "Hello, Professor Chen, I am wondering whether the seven nerve reconstruction surgical techniques you proposed are merely theoretical, or have they been tested in animal experiments? Or do you have actual cases to support your research?"

The expert's question was quite pointed. It is common for theories that look good on paper to be presented at academic conferences, and many academic studies, while appearing promising, require a long time for practical application. Thus, this expert was concerned that what Chen Yu provided might only be an illusion.

However, his concerns were unnecessary. Hearing his question, Chen Yu merely smiled and presented the case studies of Ichinose Miyako and Higashiyama Keika: "These are two surgeries that utilized the Neural Reconstruction Technique I proposed, one being cervical nerve reconstruction and the other being spinal cord and cauda equina nerve reconstruction."
