Hua Dongxu opened his mouth, wanting to retort against Zhao Xuefeng.

But before he could speak, Zhao Xuefeng had already stepped aside, saying, "Come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Ji, who came to our college two years ago, he is very knowledgeable in human bones and meridians."

Hua Dongxu shook hands with Mr. Ji and then said with a smile, "Mr. Ji, it’s truly an honor worth more than a thousand hearings."

Mr. Ji and Hua Dongxu were similar in build; both were tall and slender, though Mr. Ji appeared a bit more gaunt.

"You’ve heard of me?" Mr. Ji asked.

Hua Dongxu laughed, "Of course, I’ve looked into you, because... after my duel with Mr. Zhao, regardless of victory or defeat, I plan to challenge you next. Isn’t there a saying in your Celestial Dragon Continent’s ’The Art of War·Attacking Strategy’? Know your enemy and yourself, and you will never be in peril."

As soon as these words were spoken, gasps of surprise erupted not only from the leaders around Zhao Xuefeng but also from the students observing nearby.

This guy is doing it on purpose, right? Planning to offend our entire college one by one?

Hua Dongxu seemed oblivious to the commotion around him, instead slightly raising his head, like a proud rooster.

"It’s not easy for me to come to the Celestial Dragon Continent. Besides exchanging with your school with my students, I also want to experience your country’s medical skills. Isn’t there another saying in your Celestial Dragon Continent? It goes: Live and learn. Whether it’s Mr. Zhao or Mr. Ji, both are masters of medical arts. By proposing a duel, I set a target for myself and also show repeated respect. As for the loser teaching in a friendly country, isn’t that a great opportunity for mutual understanding and exchange?"

"We admit, our development time of H medicine doesn’t have as deep a foundation as your ancient medicine. But that doesn’t hinder our healthy competition."

Hua Dongxu said this in a loud voice, and although it was tiring, more people could hear it.

And let’s not say, after he spoke, the discussions around gradually stopped. His words seemed to resonate deeply.

Listen, respect, learning, healthy competition—what nice words are those?

At least it sounds much better than coming to stir up trouble, and it saves face.

Lin Tian leaned his head slightly closer to Zhao Qingtang, and only when he could clearly smell her subtle fragrance did he stop. He said, "This guy sure talks well, he could easily charm a girl, how come he didn’t manage to charm you?"

"Because he’s not sincere enough." As she spoke, Zhao Qingtang moved a small step aside. She wasn’t accustomed to having someone speak so close to her face; had it been someone else, she would have already started pushing them away.

Lin Tian nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, not sincere, saying one thing and doing another."

"All that talk of respect, learning, healthy competition, it’s just for show. Yesterday they lost at H Medicine, that’s why they’re saying all these nice things. If yesterday we had lost terribly, he’d definitely be saying something else. They’re just here to suppress ancient medicine, so shameless." Zhao Qingtang cursed under her breath, her pretty face turning red with anger. "Look at the students around, they really think that guy came with good intentions, they’ve clearly never set foot outside the campus."

Lin Tian looked at her face. They had often bickered before, but her angry look was always cute. Only when ancient medicine was mentioned did she become truly angry.

Lin Tian laughed, "You just graduated with your doctorate, right? You haven’t left campus for long, how do you know so much?"

"Because, being by my grandfather’s side, I’ve seen the harm ancient medicine has suffered. You wouldn’t know, but there are many people like Liu Mang in our country. Not only do they suppress ancient medicine, but they also even want to abolish it, I’ve seen too many of them..."

Zhao Qingtang let out a long sigh, which dampened Lin Tian’s mood considerably.

There are always so many unsatisfactory things in this world, like those scumbags.

Mr. Ji was momentarily stunned, then he laughed, saying, "Well said about knowing your enemy and yourself. Since you’ve looked into me, do you have the confidence to beat me?"

"About a fifty percent chance," Hua Dongxu replied. In fact, he had seventy percent confidence, but saying that would seem too arrogant.

"Wow~" The crowd erupted in exclamations.

In Kanyue City Medical University, there were many famous doctors. Besides Zhao Xuefeng, Mr. Ji was also well-known. Even the best orthopedic doctors in the country couldn’t surpass him.

There were even rumors that Mr. Ji had a prescription that could make broken bones grow again.

Of course, this was just a rumor; whether it’s true or not, only Mr. Ji knows.

"So, what do you plan to compete with me on?" Mr. Ji asked.

Hua Dongxu replied, "You’re an expert in human orthopedics. How about we compare in orthopedics?"

Mr. Ji chuckled and said, "Young man, don’t be too arrogant. We have another saying in the Celestial Dragon Continent: Too rigid easily breaks."

Mr. Ji had lived for many years and seen many peers in medical duels, but he himself had never dueled because there was nothing worth dueling over. He couldn’t win at things unrelated to his field, and others couldn’t win against him in his specialty.

In the field of orthopedics, he was invincible.

Those who understood Mr. Ji thought Hua Dongxu’s idea was too crazy. Was he seeking defeat? A fifty percent chance of victory? More like zero point five percent?

"I know you’re impressive, I just want to try, and it’s good to learn." Hua Dongxu smiled. "What? Are you not willing to compete with me?"

"A very basic provocation technique, but I accept. You set the time, I’m at your service anytime."

...

Kanyue City Medical University had only thirteen teachers, all of whom Zhao Xuefeng introduced one by one.

However, the Xiaocheng Medical College had more teachers, and Hua Dongxu couldn’t introduce each one; he could only briefly outline their specialties.

Zhao Xuefeng wasn’t very tall nor very short, standing at 175 cm. On his tiptoes, he could see amidst the teacher group of Xiaocheng Medical College, the shiny, round head.

"Mr. Liu Mang, aren’t you going to come out and greet your old colleagues and friends?" Zhao Xuefeng called out, naming him directly.

"Damn!"

Liu Mang cursed under his breath, the thing he feared most had happened, the old guy Zhao Xuefeng still wouldn’t leave him alone.

The Korean doctors present understood the Celestial Dragon Continent language because many ancient medical books from the Celestial Dragon Continent didn’t have H language translations, so the best way was to learn the Celestial Dragon Continent language.

So, they understood Zhao Xuefeng’s words and naturally made a path for Liu Mang.

This was nothing less than dragging him out for humiliation.
