Wu Tian's words were truly shocking, like a thunderclap in spring.
What had he just done? He only smelled them, how could he possibly identify all the medicinal herbs?
Even a police dog would be absolutely incapable of such a feat!
Kameida Taro was also stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "What did you say? You've identified them all? There are limits to jokes, you know."
Wu Tian smiled and replied, "Are we that familiar that I would joke with you?"
"Look, this is honeysuckle, this is radix isatidis, this is rhubarb, this is radix atractylodis macrocephalae, this is rhizoma imperatae..."
Wu Tian, from left to right, named all the herbs in the ten boxes.
Then he took off the blindfold, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled, "Well, all correct. Looks like I got pretty lucky!"
If Wu Tian's previous words had only been a magnitude seven earthquake to the crowd, then this time, everyone felt like they had experienced a magnitude ten earthquake!
What?
He had identified them all? How was that possible?
Wang Shenshou quickly went to examine each box and then said with a slight tremor, "My heavens, he actually identified them all correctly!"
"Master, you are simply an immortal descended to earth!"
The eyes of the crowd were about to pop out of their sockets, and some even felt a premonition of a heart attack.
Kameida Taro roared, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I don't believe it!"
Wang Shenshou moved aside and said coldly, "Don't believe it? What is there not to believe?"
"You see for yourself if what my master said is all correct!"
Kameida Taro hurried over and examined each box.
But the more he looked, the colder his heart became, and bloodshot veins climbed up his eyes.
He roared, "Cheating! You must be cheating!"
"How can there be such a method of identifying herbs in this world? This is simply not something a human can do!"
"You Chinese people are truly detestable! You don't keep your word!"
The dean couldn't stand hearing such words, so he frowned and said, "Dr. Kameida, aren't your words a bit irresponsible?"
"The entire process was transparent and public, and you saw it all. How can you say we cheated?"
Kameida Taro pointed at Wu Tian and yelled, "You are cheating! I know, the cloth on his eyes is different from mine, isn't it? His eyes must be able to see!"
Everyone thought Kameida Taro was being unreasonable. Although they didn't want to lose to Kameida Taro, as Chinese people, they had some integrity and wouldn't cheat.
Wu Tian didn't bother arguing with him further. He directly took off the blindfold and offered it to Kameida Taro, saying, "You don't believe it? It's fine. If you don't believe it, why don't you try blindfolding yourself and see?"
Kameida Taro snatched the blindfold from Wu Tian's hand and tied it over his own eyes.
But soon, he let out a cry of surprise, "How is this possible!"
He lowered the blindfold, glared at Wu Tian, and roared, "This is wrong! How could you possibly have such skill? I've never heard of such a thing!"
Wu Tian sighed and said, "Your bird country people are indeed like this. Confined to a small land, you think what you see is everything, not realizing it's just your narrow-mindedness."
"You set the entire competition rules, my boxes were shuffled by you, and my blindfold has no issues. Doesn't that prove I didn't cheat?"
"Dr. Kameida, you are a renowned doctor in Japan. Surely you have more magnanimity than this?"
"If that's the case, then your bird country's culture is truly shameful!"
"What did you say!" Kameida Taro's face turned red with anger. "How dare you insult our bird country? You have such audacity! Do you believe I'll hit you right now?"
"Hit me?" Wu Tian's gaze turned exceptionally cold. "Please understand, you are in China now, and China is not the China of the past!"
"If you guys still think you can do as you please on our Chinese land, then I tell you, that is absolutely impossible!"
"If you don't believe me, try touching me today!"
Wu Tian's words were filled with energy, not from his own strength, but from his immense confidence.
Even without his spiritual energy, he would have said the same thing standing here today!
Wu Tian's words ignited the blood of all the doctors. They stepped forward, shielding Wu Tian, like an unbreakable wall of steel!
Kameida Taro, who had been aggressive moments ago, wilted at the sight of this magnificent aura.
The words he was about to roar had to be swallowed back.
Wu Tian said coldly, "Dr. Kameida, if you want to compete fairly, I will accompany you to the end."
"But if you intend to bully us through other means, that is absolutely impossible!"
Kameida Taro was intimidated and dared not say anything more.
He instinctively took a step back and said with a hint of horror, "I... I was impulsive just now. I apologize. I admit, you won this match."
A smile reappeared on Wu Tian's face. "Is that so? Since you've admitted it, according to the best of three rule, I've still beaten you in the end."
Kameida Taro was filled with resentment. He had come here to trample on the dignity of the Chinese nation, but in the end, he had disgraced his own bird country.
He couldn't accept this. If this news spread back to his bird country, he wouldn't be able to continue his medical career there!
So, despite the immense pressure, he shook his head and said, "No, I can't count you as the winner!"
"Oh?" Wu Tian seemed to have anticipated Kameida Taro's intention, so he didn't get angry, merely asking, "You admitted it just now, are you going back on your word now?"
The dean continued, "Yes, Dr. Kameida, your change of face is too quick, isn't it?"
"So many of us are here as witnesses. Don't think of reneging!"
Kameida Taro gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not reneging. I admit you won me just now."
After speaking, his small eyes darted around, and he said, "But I misspoke about the best of three. I've changed my mind. If you have the guts, how about a best of five?"
