Chapter 620 Too Lucky
Elder Huang glanced at Li Hongyan and said confidently, "Dr. Li, don't be anxious. I'll call my brother!"
As he spoke, Elder Huang took out his mobile phone.
As the Medicine King of Jiangnan, Elder Huang naturally had some privileges. He knew in advance that Second Master Huang was in another group, and Elder Huang had great confidence in Second Master Huang's strength.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
But just then, a voice sounded, followed by a familiar figure, who walked out of the passage unhurriedly.
Who else could it be but Chen Xuan?
Elder Huang's heart trembled, and his expression changed slightly. Staring at Chen Xuan, he said in disbelief, "How could it be you?"
"You thought your brother was the victor?"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, guessing Elder Huang's thoughts.
"Otherwise? Hurry up and get back, don't cause trouble here!" Elder Huang reprimanded.
Although Chen Xuan had extraordinary talent, Elder Huang did not take him seriously yet.
"I'm very sorry, your brother was defeated by me. Did he not tell you?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Elder Huang could not believe it and quickly asked the staff.
The staff member said, "Elder Huang, Mr. Chen is indeed a contestant in this final."
"How is that possible?"
Even after hearing the staff's reply, Elder Huang still could not believe that Chen Xuan could defeat his own brother. After all, in the field of medicine, he highly regarded his brother.
At this moment, the phone in Elder Huang's hand rang. When he took it out, his pupils contracted, and his eyes immediately turned cold.
Second Master Huang had sent him a text message, asking Elder Huang to teach Chen Xuan a good lesson!
"Is it really you?"
Elder Huang suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on Chen Xuan, his face so grim it looked like it was about to drip water.
"Didn't you already know?"
Chen Xuan glanced at Elder Huang's phone and said with a smile.
"Fine, I'll let you embarrass yourself!" Elder Huang said through gritted teeth.
Seeing Chen Xuan, Li Hongyan instead exclaimed excitedly, "Chen Xuan, it's you! That's great!"
Today was the day of her glory, the day her name would echo throughout the Jiangnan medical community. If she didn't thoroughly humiliate Chen Xuan, it would be difficult to quell her hatred.
"I didn't expect you to be able to break out of the group stage."
Chen Xuan acted as if he had just noticed Li Hongyan.
"You!"
Chen Xuan's dismissive tone made Li Hongyan's expression turn cold.
Her anger was boiling, while Chen Xuan spoke so casually. The contrast between the two made Li Hongyan's eyes burn with rage, wishing she could devour Chen Xuan alive.
At this moment, Qin Weizhong, the president of the Medical Association, also noticed Chen Xuan and said in surprise, "I didn't expect a young man to defeat the Huang family and enter the finals. Our Jiangnan medical community has another talent!"
Other medical magnates also turned their attention to Chen Xuan, nodding slowly.
Wow! The surrounding audience was in an uproar!
"How old is this young talent? He's already in the finals. Could it be match-fixing?"
"I think so, it's match-fixing!"
"What do you know? The group Chen Xuan was in had Second Master Huang, Granny Yao, and others, all powerful figures in the Jiangnan medical community. How could it be match-fixing?"
"Do you think Second Master Huang and the Huang family would waste their reputation for a young man?"
"It seems this young man does have some skill!"
Regardless of how the final match would unfold, quite a few people had already remembered Chen Xuan.
All eyes were cast upon Chen Xuan, filled with shock.
Seeing Chen Xuan appear on the stage, President Qi, who was seated on the platform, was extremely excited and looked proud, as if he were happier than them being on the stage.
They were genuinely happy for Chen Xuan.
"Please be quiet!"
Qin Weizhong, the president of the Medical Association, holding the microphone, stood up.
As soon as he spoke, a majestic aura swept out, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Qin Weizhong took out a manuscript and spoke for a good twenty minutes, his throat dry. Finally, he said, "I declare that the Jiangnan Province Medical Conference is now officially beginning!"
Although the audience below was already drowsy, they still gave Qin Weizhong face. Hearing "officially beginning," they applauded enthusiastically.
A staff member took over from Qin Weizhong and said,
"Please let President Qin rest first. I will introduce the rules to everyone. The final will adopt a three-into-two elimination format."
"In other words, there will be two rounds of competition, and in each round, one contestant will be eliminated until the final victor is crowned!"
"The first round will be a random draw to determine the content of the competition. I announce that the first round of the competition is about to begin!"
This staff member was much more efficient than Qin Weizhong. With a few simple sentences, he opened the curtain of the competition.
Soon, the prepared staff carried a plate with a bamboo cylinder for drawing lots onto the stage. The process was the same as before, but this time, the drawing was not for the contestants, but for Qin Weizhong, the president of the Jiangnan Province Medical Association.
"Kid, your good luck ends here." Elder Huang sneered.
Chen Xuan remained expressionless, already immune to Elder Huang's taunts.
At this moment, Qin Weizhong on the stage handed the drawn bamboo slip to the staff. It seemed there was an accident. After looking at it, the staff member said something to Qin Weizhong, who also looked at the bamboo slip with some surprise but still nodded to the staff member.
Having received Qin Weizhong's approval, the staff member raised the bamboo slip and announced, "The content of the first round of competition is basic acupuncture!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.
Everyone was stunned.
How good was Chen Xuan's luck?
This was not only Elder Huang's thought, but anyone who had watched Chen Xuan's group stage knew that Chen Xuan had advanced to the finals relying on basic acupuncture. Yet, this time, it was basic acupuncture again.
However, if others had drawn this, they would have suspected cheating. But it was the president of the Medical Association who drew the lots.
This time, not only was Elder Huang shocked, but even Chen Xuan looked taken aback. He knew that he hadn't manipulated anything; it was purely due to luck.
"It seems my luck is still very good." Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
Elder Huang was almost angered to the point of spitting blood.
He had already learned from Second Master Huang's text message that Chen Xuan was very skilled in basic acupuncture. To draw basic acupuncture three times in a row, this guy could buy a lottery ticket...
The audience below looked at Chen Xuan and exclaimed that Chen Xuan was very lucky.
Soon, the staff brought all the necessary props. This time, it was different from before. The dummy had been removed, but a new prop had been added, which was a steel plate!
The props, from difficult to easy, were pig skin, toothpicks, iron plates, and steel plates ten times harder than iron plates!
"I'll go first!"
Li Hongyan, not knowing her place, spoke first.
Li Hongyan chose toothpicks as her material. She placed the toothpicks in front of her and took out a silver needle with her other hand. The silver needle Li Hongyan chose was also a filiform needle, which showed Li Hongyan's confidence.
Whoosh!
As the needle fell, it even produced a whistling sound!
The silver needle was stably inserted into the toothpick.
Li Hongyan performed needling on the toothpick, her strength just right, steady, and straight, much better than Second Master Huang's needling technique earlier.
The surroundings were silent at first, and the next moment, applause erupted.
Seeing everyone applauding her, Li Hongyan looked proud and provocatively looked at Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, see? This is basic acupuncture. Today, I'll teach you how to behave!"
But she had no idea that Chen Xuan could already achieve this level in the group stage, and he did it better than Li Hongyan.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said nothing.
This was child's play, not worth mentioning.
Elder Huang looked at Li Hongyan's needling technique and remained indifferent, as if he did not take it to heart.
"Next, it's my turn!"
Then, Elder Huang stepped forward and snorted, "Kid, you're not that good at basic acupuncture. Today, I'll show you what profound foundations are!"
