Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Medical Competition Begins

In the midst of widespread anticipation, the day of the medical competition between the Southern Faction of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Northern Faction finally arrived.

The competition was held at the landmark Central Garden Square of the Southern Capital.

Early in the morning of that day, the Southern Capital Combat Department and security forces were dispatched to maintain order.

Journalists from major TV stations rushed to the scene to begin live broadcasts in advance.

Medical professionals from the Southern Capital Medical Circle took leave en masse to attend the event, hoping to witness this grand competition.

Hotels and restaurants around the Garden Square, even after increasing their prices several-fold, were still packed to capacity, all fully booked in advance.

Merchants were making a killing and remarked that the grand scale of this medical competition was comparable to a concert by a king or queen of pop.

Of course, the audience who came to watch the medical competition clearly had more ”gold” than those attending pop concerts.

Those who go to concerts are usually young star chasers. But this time, those who came to witness the medical competition included leading figures from various industries.

The medical community goes without saying, with big shots from the Medicine Supervision authorities, Chinese Medicine Association, and Western Medicine Association all in attendance.

Even Xiao Jiu, the Southern King from the Southern Capital Combat Department, was set to come. And Ye Linglong, newly promoted as the Southern Capital’s Army Chief, would also be present.

Beyond that, large clans from the Southern Capital like the Bai Family, Qian Family, Pan Family, Zhao Family, and others would also make an appearance. And it was said that the family heads themselves would attend in person.

The gathering of so many big shots in a public place was bound to cause quite a sensation.

”Us common folk don’t usually get the chance to see all these big shots together.”

”Seeing a billionaire tycoon is already quite something, but today, a billionaire might not even secure a seat!”

”Yeah, you usually only see these big names gathered at upper-class society banquets, like Ye Linglong’s recent promotion banquet. Who would have thought we’d see them today in the Garden Square without needing a banquet!”

”And no tickets required either.”

”But of course, the most important thing is to be able to admire Elder Wang, the top Chinese medicine practitioner in Dragon Country.”

”I’m planning to take my son to watch the medical competition and hope he can be inspired by the culture of our national scholars, maybe then he’ll have the drive to get into Qingbei!”

”...”

The whole city was buzzing with talk about the medical competition.

At this moment, Lin Dong was still in the hotel, having just woken up.

Sister Bai Jue had especially taken the day off and naturally would also be going to the site to watch the competition.

She woke up early that day, and upon waking, prepared everything for Lin Dong.

She had selected a set of custom-made long robes that best displayed his temperament. As for why to wear a long robe, Lin Dong himself had specified it.

He had said that since it was a competition of Chinese medicine today, he didn’t want to wear a suit but instead wanted to don a long robe that showcased national characteristics!

That’s why Bai Jue had bought many sets in advance for Lin Dong, choosing the one that best suited his temperament.

Besides clothes, Sister Bai Jue also thoughtfully prepared breakfast for him, and even had all the toiletries ready.

She even squeezed the toothpaste for him.

When Lin Dong got up, seeing everything that Sister Bai Jue had prepared for him, he felt somewhat moved.

She was really too gentle and caring.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for.

As Lin Dong was eating breakfast, the Central Garden Square of the Southern Capital was already swarming with people.

Although Elder Wang had not yet appeared, his grandson Wang Xiuxin had already arrived at the scene.

His arrival with young Chinese Medicine doctors from the Northern Faction immediately caused the first wave of excitement of the day.

”That’s Wang Xiuxin, the grandson of Elder Wang, who is revered as the contemporary medical saint of Dragon Country. This Wang Xiuxin has inherited his mantle, his superb medical skills have earned him the title of ’Little Medical Saint.’”

”This time the young representatives of the Northern Faction’s Chinese Medicine doctors have him as their leader!”

”He’s only in his twenties, and it’s said that his medical skills surpass even the directors of Grade III Hospitals. He can treat many difficult diseases that others cannot!”

”In the last medical competition between the Southern and Northern factions, he was also the representative. Then, he beat Zhuge Ling You, the representative of the younger generation of the Southern Faction!”

”To say he’s the number one of the younger generation in Dragon Country is no exaggeration.”

”He is the future of Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country!”

”...”

The appearance of Wang Xiuxin led everyone to sing his praises.

At that moment, someone said, ”This time his opponent is the newly selected leader of the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine faction!”

”Are you talking about Lin Dong? Don’t mention him, he doesn’t deserve to be compared with Wang Xiuxin.”

”I don’t know if the old seniors of Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine are senile, but they chose such an unknown junior to step up. They must be regretting it now, especially after what happened two days ago—he caused a patient’s death!”

”Ah, I’m from out of town and didn’t hear about this! What happened? Can the newly appointed leader of the Southern Faction, Lin Dong, still participate in the competition?”

”He’s still set to participate, it seems. Those people from Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine probably didn’t expect such a thing to happen at the last moment. Now they probably have no choice but to proceed.”

”Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine is truly in decline, and it seems there’s no suspense about the outcome of this medical competition. The Northern Faction will undoubtedly win again!”

”As a Southerner myself, I actually wish the Southern Faction could win this medical competition. But after hearing about the new leader, all I can say is they don’t deserve to win!”

”This time the Southern Faction of Traditional Chinese Medicine isn’t just losing the competition—they’ve lost face entirely.”

”It’s not just face they’ve lost, they’re blind for choosing such a person as their leader of Chinese Medicine...”

”...”

Countless people were hotly discussing the matter, and before the medical competition even began, everywhere was filled with criticism of Lin Dong and the Southern Faction of Traditional Chinese Medicine, even harsher than the criticism directed at the National Football team.
