Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Crushing the South Koreans’ Faces

About half an hour later, the treatment was over.

Pu Zhengyang had placed needles in a total of eighteen acupoints. While blindfolded, he located twenty-two points. He made four mistakes but immediately corrected himself; the rest he found correctly on his first attempt. Moreover, the therapeutic effect of his acupuncture was quite good. When the treatment concluded, the Huaxia volunteer honestly told everyone, "I feel much better. My nose isn’t stuffy anymore, and my head isn’t dizzy."

Pu Zhengyang’s exquisite technique earned him cheers and thunderous applause from the entire audience.

After finishing the treatment and packing up his tools, Pu Zhengyang bowed to the audience again, repeatedly saying it was just a humble display and he welcomed their guidance.

Next, Wang Chenning took the stage.

He began by examining the South Korean volunteer, but his diagnosis didn’t rely solely on the traditional methods of observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking. He also used acupuncture as a probing technique.

After the exploratory probing was complete, Wang Chenning announced his diagnosis in front of the entire audience.

"This gentleman suffers from poor qi and blood circulation, insufficient kidney qi, and stagnation in the liver and lungs, among other abnormalities. He typically experiences symptoms like lower back soreness and excessive sweating!" Wang Chenning spent nearly five minutes explaining the man’s condition in detail before adding a solemn reminder. "My preliminary examination reveals a shadow in your lungs. This should be confirmed with a CT scan or an MRI, but there is a high probability that it is a tumor. I recommend seeking treatment as soon as possible."

Wang Chenning’s words gave the volunteer a shock.

He had to admit, however, that Wang Chenning’s diagnosis was accurate. Not long ago, he’d had a contrast-enhanced CT scan at a hospital, which did indeed show the abnormality of a ground-glass opacity in his lungs.

The recommendation at the time was to have another CT scan in a few months. If the shape and size hadn’t changed, it was likely nothing to worry about. If there were changes, he would need surgery.

He had been clinging to wishful thinking, never expecting that Wang Chenning would outright call it a tumor after his examination.

Even with all the advances in modern medicine, people still paled at the mere mention of cancer.

Discovering you have a tumor—and a lung tumor at that, the one with the highest mortality rate—would frighten anyone.

However, Wang Chenning’s diagnostic results were met with skepticism from several other "famous doctors" on the South Korean side.

They didn’t doubt Wang Chenning’s earlier findings, only the tumor diagnosis.

"Changes in the qi and blood circulation of the lungs can only be detected through acupuncture probing. By the time it can be identified through other symptoms, the best window for treatment has already passed," Wang Chenning explained, before turning directly to Pu Zhengyang. "Mr. Pu, do you also doubt my diagnosis?"

"I do not! I believe your diagnosis!" Pu Zhengyang shook his head, then asked the volunteer, "Do you doubt it yourself?"

The man nodded, then immediately shook his head. "I... I do have a ground-glass opacity in my lungs..."

Pu Zhengyang bowed to Wang Chenning. "I look forward to seeing Mr. Wang’s brilliant blindfolded needling performance!"

Since Pu Zhengyang had no doubts, and the man himself had admitted to the ground-glass opacity found on his CT scan, the other skeptics said nothing more.

After a staff member blindfolded him, Wang Chenning sat down in front of the man and began to search for acupoints.

Wang Chenning’s speed at locating the acupoints was astonishingly fast, almost no different from when his eyes were open. The sight stunned the crowd of onlookers.

Once he located an acupoint, he immediately inserted the needle. The entire sequence was executed in a single, fluid motion.

After the first acupoint, he moved immediately to the second, without a moment’s pause.

Within half an hour, Wang Chenning had located a total of thirty-five acupoints. His speed remained consistent, and he didn’t make a single error.

After watching Wang Chenning’s first few movements, Pu Zhengyang’s expression had already turned grim.

But his expression soon relaxed. He already knew he had been utterly defeated by Wang Chenning. Deciding to stop dwelling on it, he focused his full attention on watching Wang Chenning’s subsequent movements.

The more Pu Zhengyang watched, the more astounded he became. ’Wang Chenning’s precision and speed while blindfolded... it’s barely different from my own needling with my eyes wide open!’

Realizing this, Pu Zhengyang let out a silent sigh.

’How can such a monster exist in this world?’

The reputation of the entire South Korean traditional medical community had just been brazenly stomped to pieces by Wang Chenning, shattered beyond repair.

’If you could add people’s skills together,’ Pu Zhengyang thought, ’even I, Li Xizhuang, and Jin Yaguang combined would probably still not be a match for Wang Chenning.’

’The gap between his skill and ours is generational!’

’I can’t even imagine what kind of person could have taught such an extraordinary student.’

Pu Zhengyang’s curiosity about Wang Chongjiu’s medical skills deepened. ’Wang Chenning’s grandfather must be a legendary figure, a hidden master!’

Wang Chenning’s blindfolded technique was still the Qi Vortex Needle. The entire process looked like something out of a fantasy story, giving it a surreal feel.

So much so that while Wang Chenning applied the needles with the grace of flowing clouds and moving water, many in the South Korean crowd suspected his blindfold was faulty, allowing him to see through the fabric.

After Wang Chenning removed the cloth, a few people went over to test it by blindfolding themselves.

Unfortunately for them, their inspection revealed that the cloth blocked out light perfectly. Once blindfolded, they couldn’t see a thing.

It could only mean that Wang Chenning’s blindfolded needling skill was just that powerful. His ability to locate acupoints by touch far surpassed Pu Zhengyang’s, let alone anyone else’s.

The result needed no official announcement; it was obvious to all.

At this moment, Pu Zhengyang once again demonstrated his sportsmanship. The instant Wang Chenning finished the treatment and removed his blindfold, he walked forward, bowed respectfully, and declared, "Mr. Wang, your talent is immense. This old man is thoroughly humbled. I concede!"

Zhao Xiao’an, who had been hosting the online livestream, immediately grew excited when she heard Pu Zhengyang’s words. Her voice grew several notches louder on the stream. "Did you all hear that, folks? Pu Zhengyang conceded on his own, even before the host could announce the result of the match."

"Even if we don’t understand medicine, you can tell just from their techniques that our Teacher Wang is a cut above. No, he’s several cuts above!"

"Pu Zhengyang really does have the demeanor of a true master. His medical and acupuncture skills are not to be underestimated, and he is an elder worthy of our respect!"

With Pu Zhengyang’s preemptive concession, the South Korean host could only reluctantly announce Wang Chenning’s victory.

Applause sounded throughout the venue, but it wasn’t particularly enthusiastic. After all, few South Koreans were willing to clap.

Everyone who had come to watch in person today had been hoping Pu Zhengyang would win the match and give them a reason to hold their heads high.

But they never expected to be met with disappointment yet again.

Pu Zhengyang took the microphone to give his thoughts after the defeat. "I always believed my skill in blindfolded needling was unparalleled. I never imagined that Mr. Wang’s technique was not only exquisite with his eyes open, but that his blindfolded skill would be this profound—so much greater than my own. This was a match that needed no judging. My overall performance was far too inferior to Mr. Wang’s. I believe all of you could sense that, which is why I concede."

"I will honor our wager. I will have my grandson, Pu Zhiyun, become a disciple under Mr. Wang, at his disposal. Furthermore, I will gift my treasured Ming Dynasty acupuncture bronze model to Wang Chenning!"

Pu Zhengyang’s words once again caused a massive uproar and ignited a firestorm across South Korean social media...
