Madelyn did not feel threatened by James.She would have killed him the moment she arrived in Cansington if not for the Candens' declaration that they were protecting James and would make enemies of anyone who harmed him.In order to deal with James and ensure that their plans were executed smoothly, she sought the help of a disciple from the Medical Valley.In terms of medical skills, the Medical Valley was second to none.However, they had always operated in secrecy and not many outsiders knew of their existence. James would never win against the Medical Valley disciple.“Okay, you’re dismissed.” Madelyn waved her attendant away.“Alright.”The young man nodded respectfully and left the room.Medical Street.In front of Century Hospital.A large crowd had gathered in front of the hospital.Doctors from Medical Street, onlookers, and even media reporters were present to broadcast the event.Jonathan and his group were not in a hurry.They patiently waited for James to a

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Thea.Jonathan was a talented doctor, so no one expected Thea, who lacked medical skills, to accept his deadly challenge.On top of that, her life would be at stake in this duel.“You?”Jonathan looked at Thea doubtfully. Soon, a sly smile crept on his face.“Okay, bring me a pen and paper. We’ll have this in black and white.”A subordinate quickly approached him, and handed him a pen and a piece of paper.Thea and Jonathan found a seat among the numerous chairs and tables outside the hospital and sat down.She took the pen and paper handed over by Jonathan. Raising her hand, she quickly scribbled an agreement to put her life on the line in this competition and sealed the agreement with her thumbprint.She casually threw the pen aside and looked at Jonathan grinning like a Cheshire cat right before her.“Your turn.” Thea gestured to him.Without any hesitation, Jonathan also signed the agreement.Wanting to get down to business, Thea looked him

Thea drank the poison but seemed to be entirely unaffected.The crowd was perplexed.Even Jonathan was baffled by what was happening. He was so sure that his poison was extremely lethal and would kill anyone in a few minutes.A media reporter stepped forward and pointed a camera at Thea, getting a close-up frame of her face.Thea stood up and looked at Jonathan, who was tapping his feet and fidgeting nervously. She gave him a satisfied smile. “What do you have to say, Jonathan? I consumed the poison you made, but nothing seems to be happening. At this rate, is there really anything to even neutralize? Are you sure you haven’t gotten worse over time? Did you concoct your poison wrongly?” Thea mocked Jonathan and humiliated him for everyone to see.She turned to the media reporter and said, “The reporters are broadcasting everything. Everyone had witnessed me consuming the poison concocted by Jonathan, the head doctor of Universal Hospital. Yet, I remain hale and healthy. In accor

After a short while, Thea felt a warm and comfortable energy spreading throughout her body. The warmth seemed to come from the points where James had placed his needles.James carefully inserted energy-infused needles into her body.In an instant, there were already seven placed in various places on Thea’s body.After the eight needles, his True Energy was almost spent.With this technique, a portion of the poison in Thea’s body had been successfully expelled.However, there was a limit to using Crucifier this way. Thus, James could not completely eliminate all the poison in Thea’s body.“Wait a while, Thea. I’ll go get some acupuncture needles.”“Alright.”Thea was lying on the sofa.She felt much better and was relieved that she was not going to die.James hurried off to get some acupuncture needles and returned to the office just as quickly. Then, he closed the door and started using acupuncture needles to expel the rest of the inside Thea.Within a few minutes, Thea’s bo

Madelyn had found Thea and called out to her.The moment Thea turned around, Madelyn swiftly struck out with her palm.Taken by surprise by the sudden attack, Thea quickly channeled her True Energy into her palms to defend herself.Their palms collided.An intense force swept toward Madelyn, pushing her several meters away. Her pretty face turned pale, and her arms felt rubbery.She hid her hands behind her back and stared at Thea. After a few seconds, she chucked and walked over with a smile. “Wow, Thea. You’ve certainly surpassed my expectations.”Thea’s face tensed up as she on as Madelyn approached her. She squinted her eyes. “Who are you?”Madelyn said with a beguiling smile, “I’m from the Cadens. My name is Madelyn Caden. I heard Maxine speak of you before. She said you were a beauty who managed to become a grandmaster in a very short amount of time. I didn’t believe her and came to have a look for myself. Seeing you in person, you’re way better than she had described.”H
