Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: You Are a Legend

"I concede!"

Li Xizhuang’s expression shifted dramatically as he watched Wang Chenning meticulously perform the Qi Vortex Needle technique.

He took a deep breath and conceded on the spot.

This stunned most of the people in the conference room!

What was going on?

Most of them couldn’t immediately process what had happened.

After conceding, Li Xizhuang loudly asked Wang Chenning, who was still applying the needles, "Mr. Wang, forgive me for being forward, but is that the Taiyi Divine Needle technique you’re using?"

At this, Zheng Guilong, Wu Jianyan, and the others couldn’t help but look at Li Xizhuang with contempt.

’These country bumpkins from South Korea,’ they thought. ’Teacher Wang is definitely going to open your eyes today!’

They had already forgotten their own sorry state from just a few days ago, when Wang Chenning’s acupuncture had left them utterly humbled.

Wang Chenning didn’t reply. He simply gave a slight nod and continued his work.

When Wang Chenning switched to another technique, Li Xizhuang’s eyes widened again, and his fists clenched tightly.

’Scorching Mountain Fire? Heaven-Piercing Chill? Don’t tell me he knows all these legendary techniques?’ He was filled with a mixture of unwillingness and profound shock.

Li Xizhuang knew that few people were capable of these legendary techniques. Most of them could only imitate the form without grasping the essence.

A major reason for this was that to fully unleash the power of these techniques, one needed Inner Strength.

But cultivating Inner Strength was not something that could be achieved overnight. Many people trained from childhood and still never managed to develop it.

Meanwhile, those who did succeed in cultivating Inner Strength didn’t necessarily go on to study acupuncture. As a result, over the past several hundred years, those who could fully express the art’s profundity were few and far between.

He never imagined he would witness such a divine art today, and from a young man no less. How could he not be astonished?

Wang Chenning could guide the needles with Inner Strength. That alone was enough to prove his complete superiority.

What was even more shocking was that Wang Chenning didn’t just know the Taiyi Divine Needle; his mastery of equally miraculous techniques like Scorching Mountain Fire and Heaven-Piercing Chill was simply sublime.

Though his heart ached with unwillingness, Li Xizhuang knew the chasm between their skill levels was far too wide.

If this were a technical evaluation, Wang Chenning would score a perfect one hundred, while he himself would max out at fifty or sixty. The gap was almost too embarrassing to contemplate.

He had conceded the moment Wang Chenning made his first move. To many, it might have seemed spineless—an embarrassment to his country—but the more he watched, the more astounded he became, and the more he felt a growing sense of relief.

If he hadn’t conceded and had tried to continue the competition, the humiliation would have been far greater.

After about twenty minutes, Wang Chenning finished the treatment.

He publicly stated his diagnosis and treatment strategy, then openly explained which techniques he had just applied.

After this explanation, he turned to Li Xizhuang. "Mr. Li, are you certain you wish to concede?"

Li Xizhuang stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Wang Chenning. "Mr. Wang, your Acupuncture Skill is far superior to my own. Watching your technique just now has filled me with nothing but admiration. I am certain that after your treatment, the patient feels completely refreshed, as if his body has been infused with True Qi!"

"I don’t!" To everyone’s surprise, the man who had just received Wang Chenning’s treatment refuted Li Xizhuang’s claim.

He told everyone present that Wang Chenning’s acupuncture had no effect whatsoever and that he actually felt very unwell.

His words immediately caused an uproar.

Li Xizhuang’s expression changed. The faces of several other older, high-ranking individuals in his delegation also turned grim.

"Don’t you dare lie through your teeth." Li Xizhuang strode forward with a cold expression, stood beside the man, and snapped, "Give me your wrist. I will take your pulse myself and see what has changed!"

After forcefully taking the man’s wrist, Li Xizhuang checked his pulse. He then announced the results to the room. "Mr. Wu’s pulse is gentle and steady. The symptoms of shortness of breath and dryness have been completely resolved. His qi and blood circulation are now excellent. By my diagnosis, his overall health has improved significantly."

Everyone naturally trusted the public diagnosis given by Li Xizhuang.

Besides, they all knew why the man had lied.

The members of the Huaxia delegation also understood the patient’s motives, and many stood up to voice their displeasure.

Pu Zhengyang also stepped forward, checked the man’s pulse, and then sternly reprimanded him.

Criticized by two of his seniors, the man had no choice but to admit his mistake. Yet, even as he did, he tried to save face, arguing that he had never experienced such a profound acupuncture technique before and couldn’t believe the results, mistakenly thinking his condition had worsened.

Wang Chenning didn’t press the matter with the man. Instead, he stepped forward and thanked Li Xizhuang and Pu Zhengyang for their commitment to the truth.

’I’ve underestimated these old masters from South Korea,’ he thought. ’I didn’t expect them to have such a strong moral compass.’

But he quickly corrected himself. ’Or maybe their real intention isn’t to display their integrity, but to pursue some other goal.’

Before stepping down, the man who had received the treatment apologized to Wang Chenning again. He said he had been blind to the greatness before him and had failed to appreciate the essence of Wang Chenning’s miraculous Acupuncture Skill, begging for his forgiveness.

Wang Chenning was magnanimous, assuring the man he wouldn’t hold it against him and making it clear there were no hard feelings.

Pu Zhengyang returned to his seat without further comment.

Li Xizhuang, however, did not leave. He walked onto the stage and bowed respectfully to Wang Chenning. "Mr. Wang, it is truly admirable that you possess so many profound skills at such a young age! If I’m not mistaken, during our competition just now, you weren’t even using your full strength, were you?"

Wang Chenning didn’t answer Li Xizhuang’s question directly. Instead, he said with a gentle smile, "Huaxia has many practitioners of traditional medicine, and new masters are always emerging. There are plenty of physicians with skills far greater than mine. For thousands of years, traditional medicine has saved the lives of countless Huaxia people, and it has been carried forward and glorified by generations. Even in this era of rapidly advancing modern medicine, it is still held in high regard by many. In the future, I’m certain more and more people will devote themselves to this field, and more masters of exquisite skill will appear. Let us all work together to contribute to the development of traditional medicine!"

"I look forward to your guidance in the future, Mr. Wang!" Li Xizhuang replied, though he was secretly amazed. Wang Chenning had said so much, yet had said nothing at all. The man was incredibly slick.

’What a complete turnaround from the arrogant young man who first walked into this venue!’

’This young man’s shrewdness is truly something else.’

Wang Chenning returned the bow. "Let us learn from and spar with one another, and together, we can contribute to the development of traditional medicine!"

Unexpectedly, just as Li Xizhuang returned to his seat, Pu Zhengyang stood up again.

He clasped his hands in a salute to Wang Chenning and announced in a clear voice, "Witnessing Mr. Wang’s technique today has been truly breathtaking and admirable. However, we cannot take lightly the challenge you issued yesterday to our South Korean traditional medicine community on behalf of Huaxia’s. This old man may be untalented, but I am willing to represent the traditional medicine of South Korea and accept your challenge for a formal competition!"

The entire hall erupted once more...
