Chapter 31

Wu Haihua stared intently at Du Zhong, as if trying to see through him.

He never expected that Du Zhong would also know how to set bones, and even better than himself!

Wu Haihua's face darkened, and he suddenly felt like he had picked up a stone only to drop it on his own foot.

This feeling drove him mad!

However, he was not worried. He had said he would cure the patient, and he did. It was just a matter of the effect.

This round was a draw.

The orthopedic doctors immediately went to check the condition of the two patients. After the examination, they all looked at Du Zhong and Wu Haihua with surprise and a hint of admiration.

"I announce the result: the first round, Du Zhong wins!"

After a discussion, one of the elderly orthopedic doctors announced loudly.

"What?!"

Wu Haihua shouted angrily: "Why did he win? It was the same ten seconds, and both of us cured the patient, so it should be a draw!"

There was an immediate chorus of boos from the crowd.

Although both had cured the patient, the effects were different. Of course, Du Zhong won, and you are just making excuses!

"Du Zhong actually only took one second!"

The elderly doctor explained with a bitter smile: "In fact, the patient's lumbar vertebra was already set when the time was first called. The next nine seconds, he also adjusted the entire spine!"

"All the problems were completely treated!"

Upon hearing this, the entire garden fell silent.

Everyone was shocked, their mouths wide open, looking at Du Zhong.

To treat a dislocated lumbar vertebra in one second and to adjust all 24 vertebrae in ten seconds—what kind of skill was this!

The group of orthopedic doctors also smiled bitterly. They had discovered other problems with the patient's spine during their examination, with the main issue being the dislocated lumbar vertebra. However, when they re-examined, all the problems had disappeared!

The conclusion was clear: Du Zhong had cured everything in those ten seconds!

This unimaginable conclusion made them smile bitterly.

A group of orthopedic doctors couldn't even match a hospital security guard—how could they have ended up like this!

Wu Haihua, who had been so confident, suddenly looked extremely ugly. He turned his head and stared at Du Zhong with eyes that seemed to be on fire, as if he wanted to swallow him.

Du Zhong glanced at Wu Haihua with disdain, his expression extremely cold.

This was just the beginning!

Both Du Zhong and Wu Haihua thought this simultaneously.

The meanings were different, but the chill was the same.

Lose one round, and I'll win the next two!

Wu Haihua thought angrily.

The result remained unchanged: the first round, Du Zhong wins!

This result made Old Qin smile with his eyes squinting, his face showing a mix of surprise and admiration!

Suddenly remembering something, his face showed a look of realization.

Gu Muer, however, stared at Du Zhong with her beautiful big eyes wide open, looking as if she couldn't believe it, as if she were looking at an alien.

Is there anything he doesn't know?

Is there anything he isn't good at?

A huge question mark appeared in Gu Muer's mind. She suddenly found herself increasingly unable to understand Du Zhong. She thought she had already understood everything about him, but it turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg!

It seemed that no matter how long you lived, you couldn't fully understand him!

This feeling made Gu Muer feel a bit relieved, after all, Du Zhong had won.

When the result was announced, she felt a different emotion, as if Du Zhong's victory made her particularly happy.

Du Zhong just smiled slightly. As a super soldier with top-notch survival skills in the wild, setting bones was a must-have skill. His bone-setting technique was the best in the entire army. Wu Haihua daring to challenge him in bone-setting was pure suicide!

Before the patient left, Du Zhong greeted him kindly and gave some instructions.

"Let's start the second round!"

Seeing Du Zhong's confident and victorious demeanor, Wu Haihua immediately shouted loudly.

According to the rules, the second round was a test of reciting medical classics.

Wu Haihua, who was a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, had memorized many classics long ago, and Du Zhong had never even looked at the hospital's classics.

In the second round, Wu Haihua was sure to win!

I don't believe you can win this round!

Even if you have an excellent memory, what can you do if you haven't memorized it!

This round, I'm definitely going to win!

Wu Haihua thought with a cold sneer.

"Choose the books."

Du Zhong looked at Wu Haihua's dark face without any fear.

"I've already brought them!"

One of the orthopedic doctors stepped forward.

It turned out that when Wu Haihua notified them, he had them bring two medical classics.

The orthopedic doctor took out two books: one was "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases" and the other was "Tangtou Ge"!

At the sight of these two books, the surrounding doctors and nurses were stunned!

"Tangtou Ge" was simpler, with a rhythmic and easy-to-memorize text.

But "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases" was different.

This book systematically analyzed the causes, symptoms, stages, and treatment methods of cold damage, establishing the principle of "six meridians" for diagnosing and treating cold damage, and laying the foundation for the theory of principles, methods, formulas, and medicines.

This book, which could be called an encyclopedia of cold damage and miscellaneous diseases, had extremely complex content and was very difficult to memorize systematically. Most people could not memorize it at all.

As a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, Wu Haihua might be able to do it, but for Du Zhong, who had no knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and had never even read the book, it was impossible to memorize it.

The people who knew about the book looked at Du Zhong, and perhaps because of his impressive performance in the previous round, they actually showed a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

Even Old Qin frowned tightly. As an authority in traditional Chinese medicine, he knew very well how difficult it was to memorize the "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases."

Unless you had put in a lot of effort or were very familiar with it.

But Du Zhong had neither.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for Du Zhong!

Gu Muer also looked worried. Even with her background in a traditional Chinese medicine family, she could not recite the "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases" word for word, let alone Du Zhong.

You have to win!

Gu Muer clenched her fists tightly, knowing that Du Zhong had no chance of winning, but she still cheered for him in her heart.

"Two books, two rounds, whoever makes more mistakes loses!"

Wu Haihua took the two books, pointed at Du Zhong, and sneered: "Before we start reciting, we can't look at the books!"

Wu Haihua clearly remembered the scene when Du Zhong first came to Old Qin's diagnosis room.

Du Zhong had recited all the patients, the medicines they had taken, and the prescriptions he had written, word for word!

This showed that Du Zhong had an excellent memory!

Not just excellent, damn, it was photographic!

Wu Haihua envied him bitterly. He would not give Du Zhong the chance to memorize the two books in a short time. He wanted to catch him off guard!

He wanted to win!

"No!"

Old Qin shook his head and said: "Du Zhong has never studied medicine and has never even looked at these two books. You are already very familiar with them. Not allowing him to look at the books is unfair to Du Zhong!"

"That's right!" Gu Muer also chimed in: "You are a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, how can you suppress Du Zhong like this!"

When the crowd heard that Du Zhong had never read the two books, they all showed a look of surprise and sigh.

They thought it would be another exciting competition, but who would have thought that Du Zhong had never even read the books. This round was already a sure win for Wu Haihua.

Feeling the pitying gazes of the crowd, Du Zhong smiled calmly and said: "Let's start!"

Everyone was stunned, even Wu Haihua was taken aback.

Du Zhong did not admit defeat!

He was even calling for Wu Haihua to start?

"Truly overestimating yourself!"

Wu Haihua let out a sly laugh and handed over the "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases."

"This time, I will be the judge!"

Old Qin stepped forward and took the book from Wu Haihua, not in a good mood.

"Then I'll start!"

Wu Haihua smiled coldly and began reciting as soon as Old Qin opened the book.

"Chapter 1, Pulse Diagnosis..."

A series of obscure words came out of Wu Haihua's mouth, and the speed increased as he went on. Old Qin's page-turning speed also increased.

"Chapter 2, Pulse Differentiation..."

Wu Haihua recited smoothly, continuing on.

"Chapter 3, Six Qi Main Times..."

Three chapters in a row, without a single pause, amazed the onlookers. They all watched Wu Haihua with excitement, and as his recitation speed increased, their excitement turned into amazement.

Although they knew Wu Haihua's identity and education, they thought it would be impressive to recite part of the book, but they never expected him to have the potential to recite the entire book!

While Wu Haihua was reciting, Old Qin did not say a word but occasionally marked the book with a pen, recording all the mistakes Wu Haihua made.

He sighed inwardly.

Although Wu Haihua's character was questionable, his foundation in traditional Chinese medicine was excellent. What a pity!

"Chapter 29, Differentiation of Women's Diseases and Their Treatment..."

Reciting the last chapter, Wu Haihua's mouth kept moving, but his eyes turned to Du Zhong, and the pride on his face could not hide the contempt and challenge in his eyes.

In contrast, Du Zhong kept his head down, eyes closed, and remained still, as if meditating.

When Wu Haihua finished his last word, Du Zhong finally looked up.

What he saw was Wu Haihua's proud face and the intense challenge in his eyes.

"Your turn!"

Wu Haihua looked at Du Zhong, a mocking smile on his lips.

Du Zhong still smiled calmly and stepped forward.

This smile made Gu Muer's heart skip a beat, and her face turned slightly red.

It seemed that even if Mount Tai were to collapse in front of him, Du Zhong's confident smile would not waver.

"There are a total of thirteen mistakes, all of which I have marked!"

Old Qin held up the book and showed it to everyone, then said: "I'm old and my eyes are not good. Du Zhong's recitation will be checked by Muer."

Hearing this, Gu Muer stepped forward and took the "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases."

"Muer, don't miss or under-record any mistakes. I'll be watching you."

Wu Haihua smiled brightly, but his smile carried a hint of coldness, "But there's no need to watch, he can't recite it at all."

Gu Muer snorted and her gaze fell on Du Zhong, who was stepping forward.

Not just Gu Muer, but everyone in the park was watching Du Zhong.

Can he do it?

He has never read the book, how can he recite it!

"Security captain, why don't you just admit defeat? You can't win, and coming up here will only make you look foolish!"

A young nurse in the crowd spoke up.

PS: Reviews needed!!!!!!!

During the new book period, the author needs the readers' feedback the most. I check the reviews every day, sometimes even ten times a day, but the number of reviews I see is very few, and even fewer are about the plot, quality, or characters of the book, which makes me very frustrated. If you like it, say so; if you don't, say so. Not saying anything is very frustrating, so I sincerely ask everyone to leave a review after reading each chapter, preferably not just for the sake of it, but to evaluate the book or the chapter. A single word is not too little, and a few hundred words are not too much. I will read every one of them carefully.

I will adjust and modify the subsequent plot based on everyone's opinions. If you have any interesting people or events, you can leave a comment, and I will try to add them to the plot. If you want a character, you can also leave a comment! If time allows, I will reply to everyone's reviews!

I don't want this book to be just mine; I want it to be a book we all create together, so I urgently need reviews to make our review section lively and for everyone to speak freely!

There are still three and a half days left this week, and there are still 423 review highlights to be added. Everyone, come on!
