Liang Tian's tone was extremely arrogant, making himself seem like a peerless doctor, as if no one in the world possessed superior medical skills to his.
Facing such an attitude, Wu Tian simply smiled slightly and said, "You are truly a strange person."
"You were the one who refused to save him earlier, and now that you're not needed, why are you jumping out and making a fuss?"
"If that's the case, why didn't you come out and save him from the beginning?"
Liang Tian said darkly, "I didn't want to save him at first, but I can't stand you."
"I am irreplaceable, but if you attempt to replace me, then I must show you a thing or two."
"Let me tell you, you can't hope to contend for my position. With your abilities, that is absolutely impossible!"
Liang Tian's words were actually somewhat baffling.
After all, no one wanted to replace his position. He was merely creating trouble for himself.
However, Wu Tian felt it wouldn't be wrong to educate such an arrogant fellow.
Therefore, Wu Tian said, "But you no longer have a chance."
"If you want to leave, then hurry up. There's no place for you here. Leave everything to me."
Wu Tian's provocation had worked. Liang Tian said indignantly, "Why should I leave just because you tell me to? Let me tell you, I'm not leaving!"
"Not only am I not leaving, but I will also cure the patient. Otherwise, I won't be able to swallow this insult!"
"What strange competitive spirit," Wu Tian sighed. "Alright, since you want to save him, then go ahead. It saves me the trouble."
With the conversation reaching this point, there was nothing more to say.
So, Liang Tian said to Xiao Qiang, "I've changed my mind. I want to save him. Take me there now!"
This sudden change caught Xiao Qiang off guard.
However, it didn't matter. His only goal was to save the elder Mr. Xiao.
It didn't matter who did the saving.
Therefore, he nodded and led everyone to elder Mr. Xiao's room.
At this moment, elder Mr. Xiao was lying on the bed, looking extremely weak.
Half of his body was not only immobile but had also turned gray, appearing as if it were made of plaster.
This was indeed a very strange illness, and it was no wonder that those so-called renowned doctors would shake their heads and leave after seeing elder Mr. Xiao's condition.
Liang Tian showed no surprise at this situation. Instead, he grinned sinisterly at Wu Tian, "Kid, seeing this situation now, do you have anything else to say?"
"Let me tell you, I've actually saved your life."
"Because I knew you couldn't handle this situation. If you were to treat him, who knows what might have happened!"
Wu Tian smiled faintly, "How do you know that? Since you're so confident, tell me, how do you plan to save him?"
Liang Tian sneered, "From your words, I can tell you don't understand anything. You just want me to tell you the diagnosis, don't you?"
"But it's fine, today I'll broaden your horizons."
"Elder Mr. Xiao's illness is called petrification syndrome. This is an illness that doesn't exist in Western medicine, and even in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's a case found only in ancient texts."
"When afflicted with this disease, the body becomes as hard as plaster. As time passes, the petrified parts will eventually crack and shatter."
"And once that part completely turns to dust, given elder Mr. Xiao's condition, there is absolutely no hope."
Liang Tian's detailed explanation sent shivers down everyone's spines.
They hadn't expected the situation to be so dire. Just hearing about it was terrifying enough.
Xiao Qiang hurriedly said, "If that's the case, then Doctor Liang, please quickly treat the elder!"
"If it's too late, the elder will truly be beyond saving!"
Liang Tian smiled and said, "No rush."
Then he looked at Wu Tian again, "Kid, what I just said, do you think it's correct?"
Wu Tian smiled and nodded, "Doctor Liang is indeed a genius doctor. You are correct, not a single word is wrong. I have nothing to add."
Liang Tian sneered, "Ridiculous. Even if I were wrong, you would still think I was right, wouldn't you?"
"Because you understand nothing and are just blindly following me."
"Now tell me, in this situation, if it were you, how would you solve it?"
"Oh, I think I've asked this question unnecessarily. Since you don't even know the illness, how would you know the solution?"
Wu Tian found Liang Tian's self-talk amusing.
However, he didn't say much and followed Liang Tian's lead, "Whether I know it or not is another matter."
"You are the one treating the patient here, so as long as you know, that's enough. Please, explain your treatment approach to everyone."
Liang Tian burst into laughter, "What did I say? You understand nothing."
"Kid, don't be offended by what I just said. Who told you to pretend to be a divine doctor in front of me when you clearly lack the ability?"
"Let me tell you, for petrification syndrome, even in the entirety of Chinese medicine, only one acupuncture technique can break it."
"And that acupuncture technique is called the Stone-Dissolving Divine Needle, a supreme acupuncture technique that has long been lost."
"I believe that within the scope of the entire world, I am the only one who knows it."
"Is that so," Wu Tian feigned astonishment, "So, you are truly amazing. I am impressed."
Liang Tian was too busy boasting to realize how perfunctory Wu Tian's tone was.
He said proudly, "It's too late for you to realize how amazing I am."
"You can't compare to me, and you never will. If you're going to pose as a divine doctor, you should first gauge your own worth!"
Wu Tian, tired of his endless chatter, said, "If that's the case, then demonstrate the Stone-Dissolving Needle technique for me to witness."
"I haven't seen such a top-tier acupuncture technique before. Today, I will have the chance to see it."
Liang Tian sneered, "I know you haven't seen it. How could someone like you, who emerged from some obscure corner, have seen such a technique?"
"To witness a top-tier acupuncture technique from me is your honor. You should be grateful to me. Today, I will open your eyes!"
With that, Liang Tian asked Xiao Qiang to prepare silver needles and then began to perform acupuncture on elder Mr. Xiao.
