Strongest Medical Saint

Shao Manhong and Li Zhenfa, among others who arrived on time, suddenly found themselves blindsided, nearly choking on their own saliva. Their ears couldn't have been deceiving them, could they?

What was this? They were all disqualified? This had to be a joke, right? They arrived on time, didn't they?

With a stiff expression on his face, Shao Manhong asked in bafflement, "You're saying we've all been disqualified? We all arrived here on time. What gives you the right to disqualify us?"

The elder spoke coldly, "You still don't understand the true nature of the assessment at this point?"

"The preliminaries were a test of medical ethics. In each group of contestants, we had arranged for one person to suddenly fall ill."

"Just now, in the face of death, you all chose the competition over saving a life. Tell me, do you think you're qualified to be doctors? Do you think you deserve to proceed to the next stage of the competition?"

Having said that, the elder left with disdain, unwilling to waste any more time on these compassionless individuals.

Shao Manhong and Li Zhenfa could no longer muster up a smile. Their facial muscles twitched slightly. The turn of events was too abrupt; they felt as though they had plummeted from heaven to hell without any buffer period. Were they really eliminated just like that? How could they accept this fate so easily? Why should those who stayed behind be allowed to advance? What nonsense was this about a doctor's benevolence? Almost all of those who had stayed were those without any hope of ranking.

Li Zhenfa spoke out to those present, "This assessment is unfair. We came here to take part in a medical skills selection competition. It should be about medical skills. We must protest to the judging panel."

And Shao Manhong incited further, "Are we to miss the upcoming competition just like this? This is not a test of medical skills at all. The judging panel has to give us an explanation."

Under their instigation, the rest became righteously indignant and started heading downstairs to the gymnasium, demanding an explanation from the judging panel.

...

Meanwhile, outside the assessment area where Shen Feng and his group were.

The middle-aged man who had seemed like he was on his last breath just moments ago made a full recovery. Standing up from the ground, he smiled and said, "Congratulations on passing the first round of the preliminaries."

Afterwards, the middle-aged man repeated the true content of the assessment for the preliminaries.

Shen Feng's emotional state didn't change. This was all within his expectations. Having passed the assessment, he had no interest in staying and began walking back towards the gymnasium.

Zhao Yi and the others who had stayed were instantly overjoyed to the point of stupefaction. Happiness had come too swiftly and unexpectedly, leaving their heads spinning. Could it really be, as Shen Feng had said, that a miracle had occurred?

"Senior..."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Zhao Yi turned around, struggling to contain his surging emotions, but upon seeing that Shen Feng had already walked far away, he harbored a suspicion. Could Senior Shen have seen through the act?

Remembering the exquisite medical skills Shen Feng had displayed in South Cloud, Zhao Yi muttered to himself, "That must be it. Senior must have seen through everything. Senior Shen's medical skills are unfathomably profound."

Getting through the first round was good fortune, so he stopped overthinking and quickly followed Shen Feng's pace.

The middle-aged man also heard Shen Feng's words. He was one of Pang Nianda's disciples and watched Shen Feng's retreating figure with a deep gaze, muttering to himself, "If this young man was able to see through my act on his own, then he's truly remarkable."

"Even my master couldn't have discerned the truth with a simple diagnosis after taking that medicine."

"Yet this young man didn't even touch me once from the beginning to the end. Could he really have seen through everything with his own abilities? Perhaps this medical skills selection competition will be worth watching after all."

...

Inside the gymnasium of Tianhai Medical University.

Cameras were also installed in the assessment areas.

Just after the ten-minute mark had been reached, the large screen abruptly changed, displaying the interior of the assessment area.

Those present had thought the event was nearing its conclusion, only to be met with such an enormous twist at the end.

Not only were images from inside the assessment area being shown, but the voices were also distinctly clear.

Miao Bohou, Kong Yaonian, and others who harbored a burning anger within them wanted to stand up and protest without hesitation, but upon witnessing this scene, they found themselves unable to utter a single sound. Pang Nianda and the other two elders really knew how to play their game!

Qiu Baixing cleared his throat and said, "I believe by now you all understand what we were truly assessing."

"Indeed, everything I said earlier was a ruse. This first round of the preliminaries was solely an assessment of medical ethics."

"If a person in the medical profession ignores a dying patient, how are they any different from a butcher?"

Qiu Baixing's gaze swept past Qin Ruiyuan, Mo Wei, Nie Zhiqi, and Fang Junxian, his voice filled with a thick chill.

Qin Ruiyuan could no longer feel proud. As the president of Tianhai Medical University, there were many students watching the competition on site. He really felt like he had lost face and wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Mo Wei, Nie Zhiqi, and Fang Junxian were terrified, recalling the words they had just spoken, they felt like monkeys hopping around, seemingly here just to amuse others.

At this moment.

More contestants began to return one after another. Not everyone was so indifferent; there were some from other test sites who had passed, including Kong Xiaoxuan in their ranks, which seemed to show her inherent kindness.

Upon entering the gymnasium, Shen Feng returned to the side of Miao Bohou and others.

In the distance, Ji Yunhan had been observing Shen Feng, watching his every move. She felt an increasingly familiar aura about him, a woman's intuition. She whispered, "Uncle Zhong, could it really be that Shen Feng isn't Senior Shen?"

Uncle Zhong shook his head, "Eldest Miss, stop letting your imagination run wild. I have already told you that Shen Feng absolutely cannot be Senior Shen."

Ji Yunhan nodded, her rationality telling her that Uncle Zhong was right. Yet her intuition kept surfacing from time to time, starting from that initial encounter on Hong Kong Island.

While Ji Yunhan was deep in thought.

Shao Manhong and Li Zhenfa, among others, also walked into the gymnasium. The instigations they had engaged in had just been broadcast on the big screen.

Before they could protest.

Ding Yuenian picked up the microphone and rebuked them, pointing, "Starting today, the two of you will be added to the blacklist of the Huaxia medical community. You lack medical ethics, and even now, you show no remorse. If we allow you to continue practicing medicine, who knows how many more people you might harm?"

After these words resounded in the gymnasium.

All those who had been following Shao Manhong and Li Zhenfa turned into shrinking turtles.

Shao Manhong and Li Zhenfa, utterly isolated, felt their ears buzz and the world spinning around them, their faces instantly turning ashen. Being blacklisted in Huaxia Country's medical community meant they would no longer have a foothold.

It was just a moment.

They were utterly dejected, feeling as if all their strength had been drained, collapsing onto the ground, their whole being becoming stupefied, like a pile of mud.

Ding Yuenian frowned and ordered, "Security personnel, please immediately escort these two out of the gymnasium."

The security staff tasked with maintaining order promptly dragged the stupefied Shao Manhong and Li Zhenfa away.

Kong Yaonian shook his head in pity. Had he known this would happen, why act as he did in the beginning?

As the saying goes, heaven's transgressions can be forgiven, but one's own cannot live with.

While everyone's attention was drawn to Li Zhenfa and Shao Manhong.

Ji Yunhan walked towards Shen Feng, unable to suppress her increasingly strong intuition, especially as she continued to watch Shen Feng, her intuition became more and more uncontrollable.

Uncle Zhong wanted to stop Ji Yunhan, but after considering her personality, he sighed softly.

After all, he knew the Eldest Miss was just trying to probe, and it probably wouldn't lead to any trouble. At most, it would let the other party know they were intentionally approaching due to the connection with Senior Shen Xiaoyao.

After passing by Shen Feng, Ji Yunhan paused and called out, "Senior Shen Xiaoyao!"

Seeing Shen Feng sitting unmoved, without even turning his head or showing any reaction.

Ji Yunhan felt a wave of disappointment. Now she truly gave up, accepting perhaps her intuition was wrong.

If Shen Feng really was Shen Xiaoyao, on hearing this title, there should have been at least some reaction.

Indeed, Shen Feng was too young, and Senior Shen Xiaoyao was so powerful—it just wasn't possible for him to be this young!

It was Miao Bohou and others sitting next to Shen Feng who turned around.

Only then did Shen Feng turn his head as well, his face feigning confusion, his expression impeccable. Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

Ji Yunhan slightly apologetic, "I'm sorry, I might have mistaken you for someone else."
