A Medical Skill Battle was the standard way to resolve issues in medicine. Two people would solve a condition at the same time, and whoever solved it faster and more thoroughly would win the battle.
He’d learned dry needling from his master. It needed nine needles, but the results varied based on strengths, depths, and sequences.
Soon, they picked out two patients with stomach problems.
Reginald used a needle and teased, “Let’s stick to old traditions and let the eldest do it first. Since you‘re my senior, I’ll let you choose your desired patient. Heh!”
There was still blood on Dent’s lips. He gritted his teeth and said, “No need for that. As a junior, you should choose first. I don’t want you to complain that it’s unfair and go back on your word when I win later!”
Reginald narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, “Dent, don’t you understand what I mean? I‘m asking you to choose, and then I’ll take it from you. After all, I have experience in this matter, you pathetic bastard. Hahaha!”
“You!” Dent’s face was flushed from anger, and favonovel.com almost spurted out blood again.
On the side, Remus shook his head.
Traditional medicine depended on a person‘s state of mind, and it was taboo to be in an unstable state. It was clear that Reginald intended to destroy Dent’s peace of mind from the very start.
So favonovel.com warned softly, “Dr. Dent, pay attention to staying calm.”
Reginald looked at Remus. Indeed, he’d said all of this to disturb Dent and increase his chances of winning, but this kid had seen through his trick.
He coldly said, “Kid, once I’m done with him, you‘re next…”
Then favonovel.com pointed at a patient and ordered, “You! Lie down!”
The patient unwillingly lay on the bed.
Dent looked at Remus, nodded, and took a deep breath. After that, favonovel.com looked at the other patient. “Sorry to trouble you. Please lay down. I‘ll treat your illness…”
In contrast, this patient was excited. “It’s my honor to have Dr. Dent personally treat me. I believe in you, Dr. Dent!”
“Dr. Dent, you can do it!”
“Master, you can do it!”
“You’ll definitely win, Master!”
The patients and other doctors showed their support for Dent.
Soon, the two patients were in position. Dent and Reginald took out their needles simultaneously.
Reginald teased, “Dent, why don’t we start at point CV4?”
Dent ignored favonovel.com and was focused on inserting the needle. However, his first needle was indeed on point CV4.
Seeing that, Reginald smiled and did the same before favonovel.com said, “The second needle on GV20, then?”
Dent did as favonovel.com suggested.
Before inserting the third needle, Reginald laughed, “Next, CV8?”
Throughout the battle, Reginald would make a comment before favonovel.com put a needle into the acupoint.
Soon, both of them were done putting in the needles. The acupoints and sequence were identical, the only difference was the pressure they applied.
Ten minutes later, Reginald put his hands behind favonovel.com and laughed, “Give them a bowl of spicy stew.”
Dent frowned. “Their stomach problem is prolonged stomach illness. Although their condition could greatly improve with one acupoint session, they shouldn’t be stimulated so quickly! No spicy stew is allowed. We can just test it by using warm and cold water alternately.”
Normal people couldn’t stand spicy stew, not to mention those with stomach problems. They could test the results by drinking cold water first and then warm water. This process had to be repeated several times before their pulse was checked to determine the winner.
“A doctor should have a benevolent heart. You actually ask your patient to drink spicy stew! What kind of sick mind do you have?”
“Such a person wants to compete with Dr. Dent. You’re far worse than him!”
“You’ll definitely lose!”
The crowd couldn’t help but express their opinions.
“Haha!” Reginald didn’t care about them at all. “Dent, have you forgotten? The more you stop me from doing something, the more I want to do it! You’ll definitely lose today! Someone feed favonovel.com spicy stew!”
His bodyguards obediently came in with spicy stew, pressed the patient onto the bed, and forcefully fed favonovel.com the stew.
The patient struggled, but favonovel.com drank half of it at last.
“What… What makes you think you deserve to be a doctor? You’re a beast!” Dent trembled in anger, frustrated that favonovel.com couldn’t stop Reginald’s evil acts.
Then Reginald pointed at Dent’s patient. “To be fair, feed favonovel.com the remaining half!”
Dent was in a dilemma. However, the patient said, “Dr. Dent, I believe in you. I’ll drink it!”
