The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 425: Performing Surgery

In the hotel where the international medical exchange competition was taking place, in the room of Jess—an iconic figure from Country M’s medical community.

Jess and Aoki Koichi, a representative figure in the medical community of the Island Nation, sat facing each other on the sofa in the room. Standing before them, with heads hanging low, were Wester and Jiang Chuan Chiji.

Wester and Jiang Chuan Chiji had lost a bet to Ye Chenfeng, and their faces were filled with resentment and despair. As authorities in medicine, if they could no longer practice as doctors, wouldn’t their entire lives be ruined? Their eyes pleaded mournfully as they gazed at Jess and Aoki Koichi.

Jess calmly opened a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for Aoki Koichi, and then one for himself. He lifted his glass, gently swirled it in his hand, took a slight sip of the scarlet liquid, and said, "You two can rest assured, Mr. Aoki and I will definitely not give up on you. The medical community of Huaxia Country has severely damaged our reputations this time. If we don’t get our revenge, how can we ever hold our heads high in front of those trash in Huaxia’s medical community again?"

"That brash young man who doesn’t know life from death, he’s called Ye Chenfeng, isn’t he? Since he has been so disrespectful, I’ll make sure he pays the price, and the entire Huaxia medical community will pay the price."

"Mr. Aoki and I already know the content of tomorrow’s competition. Unlike previous exchanges, tomorrow’s event will be about performing surgeries, and the Huaxia medical community has agreed not to use Western medicine. I’m really curious to see how their traditional medicine will handle such major surgeries."

"So, with Mr. Aoki and myself operating tomorrow, Huaxia has almost no chance of winning. Moreover, I will take this opportunity to wager another round with the medical community of Huaxia. By then, not only will you two have nothing to worry about, but all of Huaxia’s medical authorities should be the ones in trouble."

A maniacal smile appeared on Jess’s face, and he emptied the glass of red wine in one gulp, looking utterly confident of victory.

"Mr. Jess is absolutely right. You two need not worry. Huaxia’s medical community is nothing to be feared. Tomorrow, we will ensure Huaxia’s medical community is utterly devastated," Aoki Koichi said with a cold laugh.

Upon hearing the confident assurances from Jess and Aoki Koichi, Wester and Jiang Chuan Chiji let out a deep sigh of relief. Unconsciously, the arrogant figure of Ye Chenfeng emerged in their minds, and their eyes filled with flames of rage.

...

While Jess, Aoki Koichi, and others were discussing how to deal with Huaxia’s medical community, Ye Chenfeng and his companions were still in the private dining room of the hotel. Ye Chenfeng was generously sharing the profound secrets of the Resurrection Eight Needles with Lu Shengrong.

The authorities in the room together with young prodigies surrounded Ye Chen in the center. Lu Shengrong stood beside Ye Chen like a student, while the poor Lu Yuanming had become the subject for needle practice. After all, as long as the correct acupoints were needled, there would be no harm to the body.

"Do you know why you have never been able to comprehend the last four needles of the Resurrection Eight Needles?" Ye Chen asked Lu Shengrong, who was beside him.

Lu Shengrong shook his head and said, "Master, forgive your disciple’s dullness; please enlighten me."

Lu Shengrong was set on recognizing Ye Chenfeng as his master, and no matter what Ye Chen said, he refused to call him anything else. So Ye Chenfeng simply let him be.

"Then watch me demonstrate the last four needles of the Resurrection Eight Needles again. This time, pay attention to the movement trajectory when I insert the needles. It’s a very profound thing that can only be understood intuitively and not conveyed in words," Ye Chen said indifferently.

Poor Lu Yuanming became the subject of Ye Chenfeng’s demonstration of the last four needles of the Resurrection Eight Needles once again. Fortunately, this time Ye Chenfeng did not hit any improper acupoints. freewebnoveℓ.com

"Did you grasp anything this time?" Ye Chen asked Lu Shengrong.

Lu Shengrong shook his head, then nodded and said, "Master, I think I’ve grasped something. Let me try if I can perform the fifth needle of the Resurrection Eight Needles now."

Saying this, Lu Shengrong picked up a freshly sterilized silver needle. Recalling Ye Chen’s technique, he quickly inserted the needle into Lu Yuanming’s abdomen. A trickle of fresh blood immediately flowed out, and Lu Shengrong apologetically said, "Master, I feel I’m getting close. I know I’m just a little bit away from success."

Lu Shengrong was completely engrossed in his fervor for medicine, repeatedly trying to perform the fifth needle of the Resurrection Eight Needles on Lu Yuanming’s stomach, causing trickles of blood to keep flowing out. Lu Yuanming felt like crying, but seeing his grandfather’s excitement, he could only keep his mouth shut.

It wasn’t until Lu Shengrong performed the fifth needle of the Resurrection Eight Needles for the ninth time, accurately inserting the silver needle into Lu Yuanming’s abdomen without any bleeding, that a look of wild joy emerged on Lu Shengrong’s face. Wiping sweat beads off his forehead, he had succeeded—he had successfully performed the fifth needle of the Resurrection Eight Needles.

You should know that Lu Shengrong had been stuck on the fourth needle of the Resurrection Eight Needles for many years. Despite studying it every day for so long, he hadn’t been able to grasp the fifth needle. And now, under Ye Chenfeng’s explanation and guidance, he had actually understood the fifth needle in such a short time? This gave Lu Shengrong the feeling that happiness had come too swiftly.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance, thank you so much. If there’s ever a need where Master needs a disciple’s help, please don’t hesitate to ask," said an overwhelmingly excited Lu Shengrong as he bowed deeply to Ye Chenfeng.

"Master, do you think I have also grasped the last three needles of the Resurrection Eight Needles?" asked Lu Shengrong with a smile.

Before Ye Chenfeng could speak, Lu Yuanming’s eyes moistened. Just on account of the Resurrection Eight Needle’s fifth needle, he had unjustly endured so many pricks. If Lu Shengrong really intended to comprehend the next three needles, how many more pricks would he have to endure before reaching the end?

Ye Chenfeng waved his hand and said, "Remember, the saying ’biting off more than you can chew.’ You have only just mastered the fifth needle of the Resurrection Eight Needles and can’t apply it skillfully yet. After you have practiced the fifth needle until you can perform it proficiently, then you can move on to comprehend the final three needles."

"Master is right! It was my impatience getting the better of me," said Lu Shengrong, quite embarrassed.

"Alright, Old Lu, now that you’ve had your consultation, let’s discuss tomorrow’s competition," Duan Nan interjected and then turned his gaze to Ye Chenfeng to ask, "Master, are you going to represent the medical community of Huaxia Country in tomorrow’s competition?"

If Ye Chenfeng had chosen to make a high-profile appearance, then the only option was to stay high-profile throughout, he said, "Alright, if you all agree, I will represent the medical community of Huaxia Country in tomorrow’s competition."

"Master, I’d definitely be wholeheartedly in favor," said Duan Nan, laughing heartily.

"Master, if you can’t represent our medical community of Huaxia Country, then who can?" Lu Shengrong promptly seconded.

"I also agree with Mr. Ye representing us in tomorrow’s competition."

"I also agree."

"I also agree."

...

The medical authorities present all agreed to Ye Chenfeng representing them in tomorrow’s competition. With Ye Chenfeng’s superb medical skills, what reason could these old scholars have to disagree?

"However, today we’ve made the medical authorities from Country M and the Island Nation suffer a setback. With their methods, they will definitely resort to tricks tomorrow, so you need to be very careful, Mr. Ye," warned a medical authority from Huaxia Country.

"Yes! Over the years, the medical communities of Country M and the Island Nation have been targeting us. They’ve joined forces this time to strike at us. Who knows what crazy things they might do?" agreed another medical authority, feeling deeply.

"Don’t worry, with Master here, no matter how many tricks they play, his medical skills will render them ineffective," asserted Duan Nan confidently.

"Duan is right. All schemes will shatter before absolute power," Lu Shengrong said with equal confidence.

"I guarantee that the winner of tomorrow’s competition will be our medical community of Huaxia Country, no matter what means they use. I will win tomorrow’s match," Ye Chenfeng assured. In his eyes, this level of medical competition was merely child’s play, almost as if he were playing a game with children. Could he possibly lose? (To be continued.
