“To ensure a fair fight and make you acknowledge that Solean Medicine is just an offshoot of Goryeon Medicine, I will leave the preparation of the herbs to Herbal Biotech.” Jonathan was self-assured. Jay knew this would be the last chance Solean Medicine had. If James was defeated, Solean Medicine would completely lose its credibility. From today onwards, the world would see Solean Medicine as inferior to Goryeon Medicine. Thus, he personally chose the herbs. He randomly chose a thousand of them. The herbs each of the participants would receive would be different. Soon, two huge boxes were lifted onto the stage. The boxes were sealed and only had a single opening just big enough for a hand to fit through it. Jay looked at James and Jonathan and said, “The herbs were chosen randomly. Each box has different herbs in it. Choose one.” James glanced at Jonathan. “You may go first.” Jonathan pointed at one of the boxes. After he chose his box, the staff separated the bo

Jonathan was no pushover. After grabbing a herb, he only needed a few seconds to identify it. When he grabbed some with a faint smell or with no smell at all, he simply tossed them aside and moved on. Many were watching intently. The emcees were nervous. Thea’s palms were sticky with sweat. Soon, ten minutes passed. “Time’s up.” Hearing this, James and Jonathan stopped. They removed their blindfold. Looking at James, Jonathan curled his lips and smiled confidently. “Now, let us invite the judges to the stage and verify the outcome.” Immediately after the emcee spoke, many experienced doctors got on stage. They first examined Jonathan’s answers. It did not take long for them to finish marking his answers. In just ten minutes, he had gotten 78 answers correct. Then, it was James’ turn. Upon seeing the bulk of herbs and answers, the judges frowned. They believed James had lost. However, they still had to go through the proper procedures. They opened the

James had won. He had won a sweeping victory over Jonathan. The crowd applauded. This time, the emcees did not attempt to silence the crowd. The cheers only stopped after ten minutes. Jonathan’s earlier smirk was long gone and replaced with an angry frown. He could not believe that anyone would have such incredible proficiency in medicine. He firmly believed that Jay and the others had conspired together to humiliate him. “I want another round!” Jonathan demanded in irritation. Wearing an unfazed look, James turned to him. “Sure, you’re free to choose anything you want.” “We’ll concoct a poison just like the earlier against Jay. This time, we’ll increase the number of herbs to ten thousand. We’ll use the ten thousand herbs and create a poison for the other party to consume.” “Sure.” James said without the slightest bit of hesitation. Thea was anxious. She gently pulled at James’ sleeves and whispered, “He might be up to something.” James lightly waved her away

Her legs were long and slender. They were visually striking. “Wow… She’s gorgeous…” “She’s wearing so little. Hot damn…” “I’m now her number one fan! I’ve fallen for her.” The crowd went wild with anticipation and excitement. Holding the mic, Delilah blushed as she addressed the crowd.“To be honest, I have never worn anything this revealing before. Even when I was filming, I’ve only ever exposed my back. However, it is my duty to stand up not only for the citizens of Sol but also for Solean Medicine which was passed down through our ancestors and kept alive until today. “So, please don’t think I’m just doing this for attention.” Hearing this, the crowd burst into raucous laughter. Thea could not help but study Delilah’s body. Her figure was voluptuous, and her facial features were well-defined yet delicate. Thea could not stop comparing herself with Delilah. Meanwhile, Jonathan wore a solemn expression. Lucas by his side whispered, “Something’s wrong. They’re sa

The battle of the century was about to begin. This was a battle in the name of cultural inheritance. If James lost, they would have to acknowledge Goryeon Medicine as the true path of medicine. Jonathan, on the other hand, could make use of this opportunity to spread Goryeo Medicine far and wide. James needed to win. He had no other choice. Kevin looked at the participants. “Are you ready?” “Yes.” “I’m ready.” James and Jonathan nodded in unison. “Three… Two… One… Start!” Jonathan immediately went rummaging through the herbs with Lucas by his side. They searched for the herbs all the while discussing in a low voice. There was a wide variety of herbs. There were endless possibilities when it came to concocting a poison with this many herbs at their disposal. Jonathan and Lucas wanted to create a deadly poison that was almost impossible to cure. Meanwhile, James was deliberating in front of the shelves. He took his time scrutinizing each herb. Soon after,

Why should she risk her life for something that ultimately did not involve her? The big shots who were watching under the stage remained silent. None stepped forward to express their opinions on the matter. Even Jay said nothing. “Grandpa, will something bad happen?” Christine asked anxiously. “Jonathan’s medical skills are better than yours. If he says his poison has no cure, it must be true.” Wearing a grim expression, Jay shook his head. “I don’t know.” Christine suggested, “Shouldn’t we stop this? Things will get out of control if someone actually ends up dying. After all, the whole country… No… The whole world is watching this live.” Jay wanted to put an end to this farce. His pride, however, did not let him back down. Calling an end to the competition was tantamount to admitting defeat. It would mean that he acknowledged Goryeon Medicine as the superior path of medicine. He would be chastised by his countrymen. Delilah was hesitant. James shrugged in annoyance.

As the equipment James had asked for was commonly used by doctors, they were all prepared in just a few minutes. The staff handed the poison each party had concocted to the other. James took his portion. It was a transparent ceramic bottle. Some white powder was clumped inside. James opened the bottle and poured some onto his hand. Then, he gave it a cursory sniff. Seeing this, Jonathan laughed. “Based on what we agreed on, we don’t have time to examine the poison. However, since there’s no cure for my poison, I’ll give you some time to analyze it. Not like it’d make a difference in the competition’s outcome.” As he said that, he took out James’ poison. Without even looking at it, he handed it to Lucas. Lucas was a medicinal expert. He had been dealing with medicine for decades. All this while, he had been researching herbs and experimenting with their effects on himself. As his immunity to medicinal side effects was strong, no ordinary poison could harm him. Without th

“Drink it.” James looked at the wavering Delilah. Delilah took a deep breath. Then, she swallowed the glass of water in one gulp. It was bitter. The moment she swallowed the water, she felt her throat burn. The pain was excruciating. In just a short amount of time, her smooth and fair skin had turned bright red. Crash! The glass fell to the ground. Delilah collapsed on stage. Clutching her throat with her hands, she convulsed on the floor. “It burns! Help! It’s so painful! I’m dying!” James swiftly crouched down. He grabbed her wrist and took her pulse. Then, he observed her expression and opened her eyelids. The whole process took less than thirty seconds. “Help her up and hold her still.” James ordered urgently. Immediately, a few of the female staff walked over to Delilah and held her still. James stood up and grabbed a few silver needles from the table. He swung his hand and the silver needles flew out of his hands. One… Two… Three… In the blink of an
