Watching Wang Xuebin in such a pathetic state, Wu Tian didn't feel much.
If Wang Xuebin were merely arrogant, it would have been one thing.
But he, a mere half-baked practitioner, dared to attempt medical treatment, which Wu Tian found unacceptable.
After all, Wu Tian was a doctor, and he detested such irresponsible behavior.
However, seeing Elder Wang's slightly reddened eyes, he softened.
Even if he didn't give Wang Xuebin face, he had to give Elder Wang face.
Elder Wang clearly couldn't bear to part with Wang Xuebin, so what else could he say?
Therefore, after some thought, he sighed and said, "Although I said I wouldn't interfere, I've changed my mind."
"Elder Wang, I think your punishment is a bit too severe. The situation hasn't reached that point."
"How about this, I'll make the decision today. You don't need to impose those punishments anymore; let's change the penalty."
"Isn't his practice of the Lieyang Needle Technique not good enough? I'll fine him to copy the entire 'Lieyang Needle Technique' ten thousand times within three days. I think that should be sufficient."
Upon hearing Wu Tian's words, Elder Wang was stunned for a moment, and then a look of immense joy appeared on his face.
He quickly said, "Wang Xuebin, what are you standing there dazed for! Hurry up and thank your grand-disciple!"
Wang Xuebin was momentarily lost in thought.
The entire 'Lieyang Needle Technique' was about three thousand characters long, and they were very complex ancient characters.
Ten thousand copies would be thirty million characters. How could he possibly finish copying it in three days?
Seeing that he remained silent, Wu Tian's expression turned a bit colder. "Why aren't you speaking?"
"Judging by your demeanor, you don't intend to accept it, do you?"
Elder Wang was anxious and quickly kicked Wang Xuebin, saying, "What are you still standing there foolishly for? Hurry up and agree!"
Wang Xuebin suddenly snapped back to reality.
In this situation, wouldn't anything be better than being expelled from the sect?
So he quickly kowtowed to Wu Tian, saying, "Thank you, thank you, Grand-Disciple."
Wu Tian ignored him and said to Elder Wang, "Elder Wang, as his master, you have the responsibility to supervise him."
"You must discipline him properly from now on. If I discover such a thing again, I will punish you as his master as well."
Elder Wang nodded repeatedly, "I understand."
"I will keep a close eye on him from now on and guarantee that such a thing will not happen again."
The storm passed just like that.
Afterward, Wu Tian did not linger in the hall and went upstairs with Elder Wang.
Opening the conference room door, Wu Tian found the dean already waiting inside.
Upon seeing Wu Tian enter, the dean quickly stepped forward to shake his hand, saying, "Wu Tian, you're finally here. Please, have a seat, have a seat."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Dean, you don't need to be so polite with me. We're practically old acquaintances, aren't we?"
The dean smiled and said, "Wu Tian, what are you saying?"
"You becoming a participant is a great thing for our hospital. I should be thanking you."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "We shouldn't say that. After all, you've also set up a health clinic in our village, so we're just helping each other out."
"Alright, let's dispense with the pleasantries."
"Speaking of which, Dean, you should tell me about the competition first."
When the competition was mentioned, the dean's expression became a bit more serious.
He said with a grave face, "I only received the notification about the competition yesterday morning."
"I initially thought you weren't in the county, but since you are, I'm relieved."
"According to the notice from above, the Asian Traditional Chinese Medicine Exchange Competition will be held in five days."
"And in three days, you will have to go to the capital to participate in the competition in the Bird Country with other domestic contestants."
"Going abroad?" Wu Tian smiled. "That's great. I'm this old and haven't been abroad yet."
The dean said, "I've heard that the competition this time is extremely fierce, and the quality of the contestants is arguably the best in the world."
"So, you must be extra careful this time!"
"If you're not careful, it's very easy to lose."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dean. You know me, I never fight battles I'm not sure of. Just leave it to me."
The dean said, "I am, of course, very confident in your abilities."
"But it's always better to be safe than sorry, so I must remind you again."
"There are three people you need to pay the most attention to among the contestants."
"One is Jin Zhewu from the Bangzi Country. It is said that their family's medicinal art is superb, almost to the point of being called a family of medicine gods."
Hearing this, Wu Tian sneered and said, "Medicine gods? Such a title should not be theirs to claim."
The dean continued, "The second is Yimulan from the Asan Country. Their family's Divine Ox Needle Technique is said to cure all diseases, and Yimulan is said to be the strongest genius in their family."
"As for the third... she is the one you need to be most careful of."
"Her name is Yagami Yuriko, and she is the most famous divine doctor in the Bird Country in recent years."
"Yagami Yuriko is twenty-three years old this year. Since the age of five, she has shown astonishing medical talent. She is almost omnipotent in all fields of traditional Chinese medicine, and even the Heavenly Emperor of the Bird Country has personally met her."
"It is said that she has already booked the championship for this competition, so you must be extremely careful with her."
"Yagami Yuriko... is that so?" Wu Tian murmured the name, and his eyes became strange.
He looked at the dean and said, "Does this Yagami family have any connection to the Divine Doctor Sect?"
Upon hearing Wu Tian's words, the dean was startled, and then his expression turned to one of shock.
He looked around before cautiously saying, "I was just about to tell you about this, but how did you know?"
Wu Tian did not answer the dean, but simply said, "It seems my guess was correct. If that's the case, then it is indeed a bit tricky."
Wu Tian's medical skills were all inherited from the Medicine God.
And in the Medicine God's memories, he also knew that the Medicine God had a famous disciple back then.
That disciple was from the Bird Country, and it was said that he had learned almost all of the Medicine God's skills.
The current Yagami family can also be considered a branch of the Divine Doctor Sect in the Bird Country, and the relationship between the two parties is very close.
The dean nodded and said, "You are right, this is indeed a difficult opponent."
"It will be very difficult for you to win against her in this competition."
"Therefore, I dare not promise you the first place. Let's aim for second place. What do you think?"
