Honestly, although Liang Tian was arrogant, his reputation was not undeserved. His needling technique was very skillful, even better than many experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
After a few minutes, his acupuncture treatment was completed.
He raised an eyebrow at Wu Tian and said, "I'm done now. How about it, did you learn something you've never seen before from this?"
Liang Tian was very pleased with himself, believing that his skill level should have left Wu Tian deeply impressed.
However, to his surprise, Wu Tian simply smiled and said, "Are you sure that's all there is to it?"
Liang Tian was slightly taken aback, then frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The Fossil Needle Technique only has this many steps. I've finished them, so of course it's over."
Wu Tian shook his head and chuckled, "I don't think so. If you intend to end it here, the consequences might be something you can't afford to bear."
Liang Tian became enraged upon hearing this.
He glared fiercely at Wu Tian and said, "What do you mean? Are you questioning me?"
"You clearly don't understand anything, so why are you saying this to me?"
"I think you're just jealous that I'm better than you, so you're trying to spread alarm!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Why are you getting so agitated? I'm just saying it casually. If you think it's fine, then it's fine."
But Wu Tian's words were undoubtedly a blow to Liang Tian.
He felt that everything he had done was perfect and beyond question.
A surge of anger blocked his chest, preventing him from moving past it.
He said angrily, "You really like to stir up trouble, don't you? If you don't say a few more words, you feel uncomfortable, right?"
"Since you say my needle technique has problems, then explain it in detail. Where are my problems!"
"If you can't say, then I can only assume you're talking nonsense!"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "No, you misunderstand me. I never said your needle technique has problems."
"I just think you might be missing a few steps, right?"
"Judging by your demeanor, this is your first time using the Fossil Needle Technique. Otherwise, you wouldn't be unaware of this."
Wu Tian was right. Liang Tian was indeed using the Fossil Needle Technique for the first time.
After all, very few people in this world suffered from petrification, so he had no one to practice on even if he wanted to.
But how could he admit such a thing? Thus, even though he hadn't practiced it, he glared at Wu Tian and said, "I haven't tried it? Don't make me laugh. How could I not have tried it?"
"Let me tell you, I've used the Fossil Needle Technique countless times, and it's never had any issues.
"Do you think trying to question me with this is a bit too foolish?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Petrification is so rare that there's only one case in tens of millions. You've done it multiple times? That's quite a coincidence."
"Where can I find so many cases, please?"
Wu Tian's words made Liang Tian freeze.
He couldn't explain such a thing if asked.
So, he could only say in shame and anger, "What does that have to do with you?"
"In short, I've encountered more cases of petrification than you've even heard of petrification. It's impossible to question me!"
"I advise you not to play such tricks anymore. The matter is clear. As soon as I pull out the needles, his body will be completely healed!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Is that so? That's truly impressive."
Wu Tian's perfunctory attitude made Liang Tian even more furious.
He shouted, "What's with that tone? I don't think you acknowledge it at all!"
"Fine, since you're so ignorant, how about this, let's make a bet!"
"If the person gets better, I win. If the person doesn't get better, you win. What do you think?"
Wu Tian spread his hands and said, "That doesn't seem right. Medical skills are about treating and saving people, not about competition. That's not good, not good at all."
But in Liang Tian's ears, this sounded like Wu Tian was afraid.
So, his attitude became even more aggressive, and he said, "What do you mean by that?"
"Weren't you quite capable just now? I thought you had great confidence in yourself, but it seems you're just a paper tiger!"
"If you're afraid, just admit it. Stop making excuses. I knew you were a good-for-nothing, and you'll never be able to show off in front of me!"
Liang Tian spoke quickly and rapidly, thoroughly venting all his anger towards Wu Tian.
Seeing him speak so presumptuously, Wu Tian naturally couldn't let him continue.
So, he sighed again and said, "Alas, I wanted to interact with you as a fellow doctor, but instead, I received arrogance."
"I've already given you face. Since you insist on this, then fine."
"A bet it is. What do you want to bet?"
Liang Tian was eager to continue the bet with Wu Tian, as it would allow him to vent his anger more effectively.
The more Wu Tian suffered, the more satisfying it would be for him!
Therefore, he said with a sinister smile, "Young people are too impatient. Being too impulsive is not a good thing."
"You want to bet? I'll satisfy you. How about we bet big?"
"Whoever loses has to shout three times, 'I am a good-for-nothing.' Can you accept such terms?"
Wu Tian smiled faintly and said, "Is this what you call betting big? I thought it would be a much larger stake."
"What's the point of betting like this? How about this: whoever loses has to kneel and kowtow to the other, and then say three times, 'I am a good-for-nothing.' Don't you think that would be more exciting?"
"What did you say?!" Liang Tian could hardly believe his ears.
He widened his eyes and said, "Do you know what you're saying? Are you out of your mind?"
Wu Tian smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong? Can't you accept such terms?"
"No way, you seemed quite confident. Why are you backing down when faced with such terms? It seems I've overestimated your abilities."
As an arrogant person, Liang Tian could not tolerate such words.
Therefore, without a second thought, he immediately said, "You really like to court death, don't you? Fine, I accept!"
"Kid, I'll see exactly how you dare to say such things to me!"
