"I think so too, don’t worry, we’ve even passed our school’s practical assessment, handling the preliminary round of the medical competition will be no problem at all."

Tang Ming confidently puffed up his chest.

The assessment at Imperial University aims to let students shine in the medical competition, not just to deal with the preliminaries, and its strictness exceeds that of the preliminary round. Therefore, those who pass the school’s two rounds of assessments can at least secure an advancement opportunity at the Imperial Capital District competition.

Of course, this is strictly limited to prestigious schools like Imperial University. Schools like Medical University have less difficult assessments, but advancing in the medical competition becomes very challenging.

Tang Ming was not worried about the competition at all. Upon seeing old friends, he couldn’t help but share all sorts of interesting things he encountered at Medical University, letting his two roommates broaden their horizons.

"Oh wow, isn’t this Hua Yingjie?"

Just as Tang Ming and the others were chatting happily, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded.

"Hmm?"

Looking up, a young man in a pure white suit was walking towards them with several men and women.

Seeing the newcomer, Hua Yingjie’s face turned ugly.

"Who are these people?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brows with confusion.

"People from the Medical Immortal Workshop." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Hua Yingjie responded coldly, standing up to look at the young man in white: "Bai Shengqi, what do you want?"

"Hehe, I heard the waste from Heavenly Medicine Sect is also participating in the medical competition, so I came over to say hello."

Bai Shengqi adjusted his clothes and looked at Hua Yingjie disdainfully: "With trash like your declining medical sect even daring to participate in the medical competition, aren’t you afraid of embarrassing yourself all the way to your grandmother’s house?"

"Heavenly Medicine Sect is now basically non-existent, even if embarrassed it doesn’t matter, they’re just letting the pot break."

"Exactly, now that Heavenly Medicine Sect is so low-key, maybe this fool intentionally wants to embarrass himself to gain some fame for Heavenly Medicine Sect, who knows?"

"This is probably called hype, right?"

...

Bai Shengqi’s entourage mocked unscrupulously.

"Bai Shengqi, don’t be smug, I will definitely win the championship of the medical competition this time and become the young Medical King, restoring Heavenly Medicine Sect’s prestige."

Hua Yingjie shouted firmly.

"Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard this year."

Bai Shengqi paused, then burst into laughter.

"Hua Yingjie, you should look in the mirror at your own virtue. Let alone Senior Bai participating in the medical competition, even we disciples from the Medical Immortal Workshop can beat you like a dog. With what are you going to win the championship?"

"Bragging! After all, bragging isn’t against the law."

The others looked at Hua Yingjie with contempt.

"Where did this pack of dogs jump out from, barking everywhere upon meeting, do you believe I’ll kill the dogs and stew their meat?"

Seeing Hua Yingjie being so humiliated, Tang Ming stepped forward in annoyance.

"Who are you?"

Bai Shengqi looked at Tang Ming in astonishment.

"Why do you care who I am? It’s not okay for you to bark in front of me."

Tang Ming smirked and playfully scrutinized Bai Shengqi: "Your name is Bai Shengqi? Your parents must really fear your anger, giving you a name like ’White Anger, White Anger’."

"You bastard, dare to be disrespectful to me, do you know who I am?"

Bai Shengqi was instantly furious, staring coldly at Tang Ming.

"I couldn’t care less who you are, since we’re all participating in the medical competition, let’s see the results based on skill. Acting so arrogant now, be careful you don’t end up losing and get slapped in the face."

Tang Ming cleaned his ear and then threw the wax towards Bai Shengqi: "People like you, I’ve broken countless legs in a year, now get lost."

"Hmph, what a reckless kid."

Bai Shengqi snorted, turning to give a glance to a dark-complexioned youth beside him.

The dark-skinned youth gave a wicked smile and lifted his hand, throwing a black powder towards Tang Ming.

"Watch out."

Hua Yingjie and Meng Xianjun exclaimed simultaneously.

"A petty trick... oh!"

Tang Ming raised his hand to counterattack, only to remember his cultivation was already abolished, and it was too late, inhaling quite a bit of the substance.

Meng Xianjun pulled Tang Ming behind him and stomped fiercely, crushing the stone slabs beneath: "Get lost! Or else don’t blame me for being rude."

"Hiss!"

Seeing Meng Xianjun’s foot’s power, Bai Shengqi and his crew gasped, clearly recognizing a high-level martial master!

"Good, good, I wondered why this waste was so bold, turns out he found a powerful helper."

Bai Shengqi laughed coldly, pointing a finger at Hua Yingjie: "But remember, in a medical sect, the contest is about medical skills, not martial power. If you want to stand out in the medical competition, I will surely trample you into the mud."

After speaking, Bai Shengqi led the people away. He had great confidence in his medical skills, but his cultivation was not high, and without any sect masters by his side, he feared Meng Xianjun.

"Tang Ming, are you okay?"

Hua Yingjie was too concerned about Bai Shengqi to check Tang Ming’s condition.

"I’m fine, I’m fine, inhaled a little poison but it doesn’t affect me."

Tang Ming shook his head, discreetly wiping his cold sweat. Fortunately, he was immune to all poisons; even with cultivation abolished, he was immune to toxins. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster today.

"Brother, your cultivation has been sealed, can’t you stay quiet?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming speechlessly: "Luckily, they threw poison you could handle, if it were acid, you’d be disfigured."

"I’m just not used to it."

Tang Ming pouted, feeling a bit depressed: "Alright, I’ll definitely be more careful in the future, try to avoid solving problems with force."

"Master, should I kill those people?"

At this moment, a figure appeared beside Tang Ming, dressed in a black trench coat, Tianye Yingzi asked coldly.

"Whoa!"

Meng Xianjun and Hua Yingjie were startled; this woman appeared eerily like a specter.

"No need, fighting isn’t my style, continue to remain hidden."

Tang Ming waved his hand. Ever since he got beaten in a KTV last time, he let Tianye Yingzi protect him from the shadows, mainly due to the danger posed by having his cultivation sealed.

A bunch of ordinary people could injure him, if he encountered an assassination by experts, without protection, a few lives wouldn’t be enough.

"Yes!"

Tianye Yingzi replied then vanished where she stood.

"Brother, having such a ghostly woman by your side, not thinking of bothering others, consider their feelings too."

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming speechless: "No wonder you’re so boisterous, letting this woman protect you, so shameless."

"Just in case."

Tang Ming pouted, turning his curiosity towards Hua Yingjie: "Is that Bai Shengqi your arch-enemy? Seems like he has some skills, who’s stronger between you two?"
