"How could this be..."
A trembling voice escaped his throat, laced with a subtle quiver and profound disbelief.
He stood frozen in place, like a wooden stake, unable to react for a long time.
This scene caused everyone to become confused.
The Dean spoke, "Dr. Kameda, what are the results? Have you understood them all?"
Kameda Taro turned his head, shaking it repeatedly, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"His acupuncture technique was merely child's play, how could it possibly be ten needles perfectly placed!"
"Ah?" Kameda Taro's words plunged everyone into a second shock.
So, according to him, Wu Tian... had indeed placed all ten needles in perfect positions???
Wu Tian smiled faintly, "As I said, don't rush anything."
"Now that the results are out, and it's a tie between us, can we start the next round?"
Kameda Taro looked at Wu Tian, his gaze filled with caution.
He understood perfectly well that if Wu Tian could use such a casual technique to perfectly hit all the acupoints, then Wu Tian's skill must be extraordinary.
However, he had always believed that he had no rivals in acupuncture.
So, while he was wary of Wu Tian, he wasn't truly afraid.
Soon, he laughed heartily, "Haha, it seems I underestimated you. If that's the case, then let's begin the next round!"
Seeing that even Kameda Taro had acknowledged Wu Tian, everyone else snapped back to reality, their faces showing signs of guilt.
Wu Tian was truly a skilled individual, yet they had spoken ill of him earlier. This was truly regrettable.
The Dean also said dazedly, "Master Wang, to be honest, I didn't believe this young man was your master just now."
"But now, I feel I have no choice but to believe it."
Master Wang's eyes were filled with pride. He smiled and said, "I told you my master is very capable. Don't worry, my master will definitely win this competition!"
His words reached Kameda Taro's ears.
Kameda Taro looked at him with a grim expression and said, "Definitely win? What a bold statement. Do you know what I intend to compete in next?"
"Doctors who practice acupuncture cannot always remain in comfortable environments; they must consider all sorts of factors."
"For example, how to perform acupuncture on a patient in the absence of light."
"Therefore, the competition I wish to have with you this time is blindfolded acupuncture!"
"Still ten acupoints. Whoever gets more correct wins. What do you think?"
Everyone was stunned to hear this. Blindfolded acupuncture? How could that even be done?
The Dean angrily said, "Dr. Kameda, what do you mean by this? What do you take acupuncture for, a circus act?"
Kameda Taro smiled, "Dean, I have already clearly explained the reasons.
"As a top acupuncture physician, performing acupuncture blindfolded is something one must learn, isn't it?"
"This tests a physician's mastery of human acupoints. How can you say it's a circus act?"
"But!" The Dean actually felt that Kameda Taro had a point.
However, such a competition was too unexpected; it had even surpassed the scope of normal competitions.
Although the Dean had already recognized Wu Tian's strength, he still felt that Wu Tian could not possibly win such a competition.
He was about to ask Wu Tian to refuse the match.
But to his surprise, before he could speak, Wu Tian nodded and said, "Blindfolded acupuncture, you say? Alright, I accept."
"Dr. Wu!" The Dean was astonished.
He immediately shouted, "You must think carefully! Don't be impulsive!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Dean, please rest assured, I have no intention of being impulsive."
"Today, no matter what Dr. Kameda wants to compete in, I will accompany him. In the end, I will win anyway."
Kameda Taro felt that Wu Tian was looking down on him, and the veins on his forehead twitched slightly in anger.
He said grimly, "You seem very confident. Fine, I like confident people."
"Since that's the case, let's not waste any more words. If we're going to compete, let's do it directly!"
Since neither of them had any objections, the Dean had no choice but to have someone bring over two blindfolds.
The rules were that before performing acupuncture, both would draw ten slips of paper.
Each slip would have an acupoint written on it. Then, both would perform blindfolded acupuncture, and whoever got more correct would win.
After completing the drawing process, Kameda Taro said, "Why don't you go first, so I can't be accused of bullying a junior?"
Wu Tian smiled, "There's no need to be polite at this time. You are the guest, so you should go first."
Kameda Taro laughed, "It's fine if I go first, but I'm afraid that after I'm done, you won't have the courage to continue!"
With that, Kameda Taro did not hesitate and began performing acupuncture with his eyes blindfolded.
Blindfolded acupuncture was, after all, a profound skill, so Kameda Taro proceeded slowly, taking nearly twenty minutes to complete what he needed to do.
Kameda Taro removed his blindfold and immediately revealed a triumphant smile, saying, "Dean, please come and take a look."
The Dean walked over and was so startled that his body trembled slightly. He exclaimed, "Nine correct! How is this possible!"
For a moment, all the doctors' faces turned almost green, and their scalps felt as if they were about to explode.
Blindfolded acupuncture, nine out of ten correct, what level was this?
This was simply something that only legendary divine doctors could achieve!
Master Wang was also greatly astonished. Although he could also perform blindfolded acupuncture, even if he tried, he could at most get seven out of ten correct!
This Kameda Taro was indeed extraordinary!
Kameda Taro savored the astonished gazes of everyone. He looked at Wu Tian triumphantly and said, "I'm finished. And you, do you still want to try?"
"If you're afraid, then forget it. I won't mock you."
"However, this would prove that your Chinese medicine is indeed inferior to our Bird Country's. Hahaha..."
Wu Tian smiled slightly and said, "Are you laughing a bit too soon?"
"Since I agreed, I should at least try. Otherwise, why would I have agreed?"
"Hmph! A dying struggle!" Kameda Taro was very displeased with Wu Tian's acceptance and grunted.
Wu Tian ignored him and said to the doctors, "Please help me lift the model."
"Lift the model?" Everyone was stunned, then asked in confusion, "Why do we need to lift the model?"
