Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: They Actually Backed Down

Li Yanxian was no ordinary woman. Wang Chenning had sensed that during his brief interactions with her.

At twenty-two years old, her mind was so calculating. It was truly frightening.

But he never would have imagined that after he left Seoul, she would pull a stunt like this.

From the replies by the Japanese and South Korean netizens that followed, Wang Chenning knew she had played her hand beautifully.

The South Korean and Japanese netizens were all fired up, hurling insults at each other, and a small number of Huaxia netizens had also joined the fray.

"What do you want me to do?" Wang Chenning replied.

Li Yanxian retorted, "What was their reaction?"

Wang Chenning told her about how Tian Zhineng had welcomed him at the airport on behalf of Tian Zhongxin and even delivered a formal invitation.

"Looks like they’re scared!" Li Yanxian added a few facepalm emojis to her message, then followed up with: "So, are you planning to challenge them?"

"A competition is a must. I’ll put out some feelers and see how they react. I wonder if there are any outstanding girls here in Japan. After meeting a girl like you in South Korea, it would be a real shame if I didn’t meet someone similar here!"

Li Yanxian replied with two words and three exclamation points: "Total scumbag!!!"

"Just yesterday, I saw someone’s definition of a scumbag. They said: A so-called ’scumbag’ is a guy who has it all—money, looks, and charisma. You can’t find a single flaw in him, and he treats you well, but he just doesn’t love you! I compared myself to that standard, and it really does fit the description of a scumbag."

Li Yanxian stopped responding to Wang Chenning. He sent her two more messages, but she didn’t reply.

Wang Chenning sent the link to Wu Jingyi, telling her to find a way to stir up some buzz and put pressure on the Japanese.

Wu Jingyi’s English was decent, but she didn’t recognize much written Japanese. Aside from the kanji whose meanings she could guess, she couldn’t understand the rest.

But that didn’t stop her. There were tons of online translation tools, and she could easily figure out the post’s meaning with a quick search.

Once she understood what it said, she was delighted. She quickly posted the link back home, shared it on Weibo, and had the people around her give it a huge boost.

Topics related to Wang Chenning were already popular, but once South Korea and Japan were involved, the hype exploded.

Soon, tons of people were flooding the post with comments.

By the time Wang Chenning finished washing up and was about to go to breakfast, the situation online had already blown up completely.

Yang Xiaofu was a little upset because Wang Chenning had gone to bed early last night, not staying up to see the city lights with her or even to chat.

She desperately wanted to spend some quality time alone with Wang Chenning before Yang Xiaofei arrived, to do everything that needed to be done, so Yang Xiaofei wouldn’t have a chance to play the part of a homewrecker.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chenning didn’t give her that chance, which made her quite angry.

When she saw Wang Chenning at breakfast, she came over to complain.

But Wang Chenning ignored her complaints and simply told her that he was planning to visit Tian Zhongxin’s home that evening, asking if she would accompany him.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaofu’s anger instantly turned to joy, and she readily agreed.

She even promised she wouldn’t embarrass him.

A little while later, Wu Jingyi, Zhang Manxin, and Lin Qingyan also arrived. Seeing Wang Chenning and Yang Xiaofu eating breakfast together, they didn’t hesitate to join their table.

Wu Jingyi gave a quick summary of the situation with the online post. After hearing it, Yang Xiaofu’s eyes went wide.

She immediately shared the post to her social media Moments and also posted it on the university forum.

And so, at Yang Xiaofu’s call to arms, a large group of Yan University students went to war with the South Korean and Japanese netizens.

At 8:30 AM, the Huaxia exchange delegation was scheduled to meet with representatives from Japan’s traditional culture community. By then, the post Wu Jingyi had just shared on Weibo had already shot to the number one trending spot.

Shortly after the morning symposium began, Wang Chenning took the opportunity during his speech to bring up the matter publicly. Then he asked everyone present if anyone wanted to compete with him in medical skills!

To his surprise, no one stood up to accept the challenge.

After a moment of silence in the conference hall, Tian Zhongxin stood up. He first expressed his admiration for Wang Chenning’s medical skills, then, with great sincerity, stated his desire to learn from him.

He hoped that Wang Chenning would share his medical skills and insights with Japan’s traditional medical community, especially the Taiyi Divine Needle technique and several other nearly lost grand arts of acupuncture.

The Japanese traditional medical community’s attitude was truly unexpected for Wang Chenning.

Wang Chenning had originally thought that the people from Japan’s traditional medical community would be even more arrogant than the South Koreans. Although he hadn’t challenged them as haughtily as he did in Seoul, he had still expressed his desire to compete. He never expected them to not dare accept the challenge—they had chickened out.

Japan’s traditional medical community had indeed chickened out.

They had collected and carefully studied the videos of Wang Chenning’s contest against the South Korean traditional medical community, where he publicly demonstrated his skills. They had also inquired about the situation with their many acquaintances in South Korea’s medical circles.

The result of their research was that no one dared claim their medical skills were superior to Wang Chenning’s. Especially his Acupuncture Skill—it was as if they were on two completely different levels.

Rather than losing in a competition, it was better to lower their stance and proactively ask for Wang Chenning’s guidance. That way, even if they lost face, it wouldn’t be so humiliating.

Wu Jingyi, who was attending the conference with Wang Chenning, immediately uploaded this development to the internet.

And so, two new trending topics appeared online: "Japan Surrenders Before the Fight" and "Wang Chenning Subdues the Enemy Without Fighting."

"Fuck, aren’t the Japanese supposed to be so badass? How’d they just chicken out?"

"The South Koreans overestimated themselves, and the Japanese voluntarily became dead chickens!"

"Teacher Wang is just that awesome, crushing the prestige of two countries all by himself. From now on, will these two shameless little countries still dare to act like grandmasters of traditional culture?"

"Teacher Wang is mighty! Can’t wait to see Chief Reporter Zhao fangirl over him again!"

"Teacher Wang is our national heartthrob, no arguments accepted!"

"That’s right, Teacher Wang is the national heartthrob in our hearts! I love him to death!"

...

Wu Jingyi immediately forwarded these online comments to the traditional medical community’s group chat, which instantly erupted.

Wang Chenning glanced at the activity in the group chat, then stood up to speak again.

He said that he had come to Tokyo for this exchange visit to share the research findings of both countries’ traditional culture and medicine. He was willing to communicate and compete with Japan’s traditional culture enthusiasts in various ways. "I am also willing to share what I have learned with everyone, and I am willing to accept disciples from Japan. Regardless of age, or what school or sect you belong to, as long as you love traditional culture and medicine, are determined to carry forward and glorify traditional medicine, and we get along, I am willing to take you as my student!"

Wang Chenning’s tone in Tokyo was different from his tone in Seoul. In South Korea, he had been unwilling to accept older individuals as disciples. But in Tokyo, he changed his attitude; as long as the older ones were willing to become his students, he would accept them.

These profound words from Wang Chenning naturally sparked another debate online...
