Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Challenge Old Wang

”Lin Dong won?”

Before the competition began, ninety-nine percent of the audience on site would not have believed it.

But now, the truth was right before their eyes, as Gu Lingjun, the pride of the Northern Faction, acknowledged it himself, and even Elder Wang had made his judgement.

Cheers erupted everywhere, with a throng of people shouting Lin Dong’s name.

Seeing this scene, the senior preceptors of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine felt tears welling up in their eyes.

After so many years, their Southern Faction had finally won against the Northern Faction’s Chinese Medicine.

Although it was only a competition among the younger generation, it was enough to satisfy them.

”After decades, the future finally looks promising for the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine.”

”With a young prodigy like Lin Dong, once Elder Wang fully retires, the Southern Faction will rise to prominence!”

”Give the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine a few more decades, and they will be the ones dictating Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country.”

”Doctor Lin Dong, I apologize for the misunderstandings I had about you previously. I’m sorry!”

”...”

At that moment, someone from the audience was the first one to bow and apologize to Lin Dong over there. They had mistakenly thought that Lin Dong was a quack who had caused a death, and they had said all kinds of nasty things to him.

Now that the misunderstanding was cleared, thinking back on the harsh words they had said to Lin Dong earlier, they felt their faces flush and began to apologize to him.

The place was packed with people who, in that instant, openly spoke.

”Doctor Lin Dong, I’m sorry about earlier.”

”We used to think that you didn’t deserve to be the leader of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine. Now it seems we were wrong!”

”Just now, we even suggested the senior preceptors of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine might have gone senile, but now it seems it wasn’t them who were confused; it was us.”

”...”

In that moment, among the sea of people, everyone recognized Lin Dong. They were apologizing for the horrible things they had previously said to him.

They felt ashamed for having looked down on Lin Dong!

Among the crowd, Qiao Bing looked toward Qiao Xue.

”Sister, I won our bet. You can’t stop me from being with Lin Dong anymore.”

Qiao Xue looked at Lin Dong standing in the Garden Square of Southern Capital, the center of public attention, and felt a whirlwind of complex emotions.

”So, it wasn’t those elderly doctors of the Southern Faction who were blind; it was I who was blind. Lin Dong really has the strength!”

On the high platform, Elder Wang, the leader of the Northern Faction, was stroking his beard in admiration.

”With young people like you, the future of the Northern Faction looks promising!”

Turning to Wang Xiuxin beside him, he couldn’t help but shake his head in disappointment; his own grandson was far inferior to his opponent.

Chen Tong also stood dumbfounded, watching this unfold, his face burning with embarrassment. Before Lin Dong’s competition, he had thought about stepping in to regain his reputation after Lin Dong’s expected loss.

However, Lin Dong had won decisively, bringing honor to the Southern Faction’s Chinese Medicine, and only highlighting his own impotence.

”So I’ve always been just a clown in his presence!” In that moment, he finally understood the gap between him and Lin Dong.

He also understood why his grandfather and the other elderly doctors of the Southern Faction treated Lin Dong the way they did.

Because Lin Dong had the strength!

The Medicine King, Needle King, and other elder practitioners of the Southern Faction couldn’t stop smiling. This was the most gratifying day they had experienced in decades.

They felt that perhaps in their lifetimes, they might witness the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine completely surpassing the Northern Faction’s Chinese Medicine!

Of course, it would still take some time, because atop that mountain, a giant stood.

And that giant was Wang Taisui, the number one in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country.

The leader of the Northern Faction!

At this point, the referee spoke up, ”The first round of the medical competition between the Southern and Northern factions’ younger generation has ended, Southern Faction wins!”

”Next, we will proceed to the second round of the medical competition.”

As these words were spoken, the audience cheered once more, for the upcoming match would be the real highlight.

In this round of the competition, the Northern Faction would be represented by Elder Wang himself.

As for the Southern Faction, it was still not known whom they would field.

Elder Wang asked, ”This time, who will the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine send to compete?”

The Five Elders of the Southern Faction had each fought before, but they had all lost in their medical clashes with Elder Wang.

Whether it was the Medicine King, Needle King, or Fire Cupping King, they had all been defeated by Wang Taisui.

This time, it didn’t matter whom they sent; it seemed a foregone conclusion that they would lose.

Just then, an unexpected voice rang out.

”This time, I will challenge Elder Wang!!!”

Whoa!!!!

As these words were said, the scene erupted into even greater commotion.

Because the person who spoke was Lin Dong!

”Lin Dong is going to challenge Elder Wang?”

”He wants to participate in the elders’ medical competition too?”

”This...this doesn’t seem right, does it?”

”The rules might allow it, as there’s nothing that says a younger person can’t partake in the second competition, but can he win?”

”It’s one thing to compete against the youth, but against the elders? How can there be any comparison? The gap between them includes nearly sixty years of medical experience.”

”That’s sixty years of cultivation; they’re not even in the same league.”

”...”

Even Wang Taisui was taken aback.

He looked over at the Five Elders of the Southern Faction and asked, ”Are you sure?”

The Five Elders looked at each other, and finally decided to trust.

They nodded.

Seeing this, the entire crowd was stunned.

Was Lin Dong really going to challenge Elder Wang?
