"How about a little competition?"

Old Wu looked at Liu Zixuan with a cheerful smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan frowned slightly, feeling a bit curious.

Previously, Old Wu had listened to the demonic doctor and You Long's talk about bringing Gu Poison to his clinic to harm him, and it was Liu Zixuan who ended up saving him!

This clearly showed that Liu Zixuan's medical skills far surpassed Old Wu's.

But why was Old Wu still so confident in challenging him now?

A figure suddenly flashed in Liu Zixuan's mind!

Could it be that the struggling demonic doctor found Old Wu and made him oppose me on purpose?

There seems to be no other reason for this!

If that's the case, then Liu Zixuan felt compelled to compete with Old Wu. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to expose the demonic doctor and eliminate him from the world completely!

Smiling, he said, "Alright, I'll compete with you, but... what kind of competition are we talking about?"

Old Wu looked at Wei Lao, "Isn't there a special patient coming today? Why not take this opportunity to have a battle of two National Doctor techniques, treating the patient with two different approaches?"

Wei Lao paused for a moment, "That method is possible, but I need to ask the patient's permission. After all, they're here for a treatment, and they might not agree!"

"Alright, I'll leave that to you, Wei Lao!" Old Wu said with a smile.

Wei Lao said to everyone, "You all chat for a bit, I'll be back soon!"

After Wei Lao left, Old Wu looked at Liu Zixuan, "Dr. Liu, since it's a competition, there should be stakes, right?"

"How does Old Wu want to play this?" Liu Zixuan asked meaningfully.

"Very simple."

Old Wu fiddled with the rings on his fingers and smiled, "Whoever loses has to retire from the medical field and is forbidden from stepping foot in Ghost Wood City again!"

"This... is quite a big gamble!"

"Interesting indeed!"

Hearing this, everyone started discussing among themselves.

And they all turned their gaze to Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan appeared very casual, shrugged, "Since Old Wu is bold enough to challenge a junior like me, if I refuse, it would seem like I lack manners. Alright, it's a deal!"

"Dr. Liu, think this through carefully."

"Yes, although you've done some amazing things at your age, those are exceptions. In terms of qualifications, if Old Wu is second, no one dares claim first. You have no chance of winning this competition!"

"Young people like to act tough!"

Some people were genuinely advising Liu Zixuan not to act impetuously, but many also looked down on him!

Regarding the incident with the influenza, they knew the credit was all Liu Zixuan's, but they also understood that Liu Zixuan was merely relying on a special Ghost Gate Needle; it didn't prove his medical skills were that great.

The situation of this special patient was extremely complicated, even the senior figures present couldn't be one hundred percent sure of a cure. Let alone someone as young as Liu Zixuan!

In terms of experience, Old Wu is definitely the oldest person here, and he may have treated more patients than Liu Zixuan has even seen.

People often say, with age comes wisdom. Old Wu, aging as he is, still has all those medical skills in his mind, executing them flawlessly!

Listening to their words and those contemptuous glances, Liu Zixuan wasn't bothered; he slowly walked to Old Wu's side and whispered, "Can you tell me who gave you the courage to compete with me?"

"Naturally, it's someone you cannot afford to offend," Old Wu said coldly.

"The demonic doctor, huh? Once I'm done with you today, I'll go after him," Liu Zixuan said, patting Old Wu's shoulder lightly before returning to his seat.

Addressing the crowd, he said, "Thank you all for your advice, but young people need a bit of arrogance, otherwise, what would make us young? I've agreed to this competition today. If I lose, I won't need you all to say it; I'll leave Ghost Wood City and quit the medical profession myself!"

"Not listening to advice, such a lack of understanding; he's going to ruin his career!"

"Forget it, let's not persuade him anymore. We'll just wait for him to lose!"

Upon hearing this, others couldn't be bothered to say more.

Was it advice?

No, it was an innate disdain for Liu Zixuan!

At this moment, Wei Lao came out from outside and said to everyone, "I've already consulted with the patient, and they agreed to have both of you give them a diagnosis, but there's one condition!"

"What condition?" Old Wu asked.

"After you each conduct an initial diagnosis, you must present your treatment plans. The patient will choose which plan to proceed with, so your competition is really about whose treatment plan will be more satisfactory!" Wei Lao explained.

"That's even better; it prevents Dr. Liu's youthful recklessness from causing unnecessary harm during treatment!" Old Wu said with a mocking smile.

Liu Zixuan shrugged, "Then I must thank Old Wu!"

Old Wu shook his head, "No need to thank me, I'm just teaching you how to be a doctor!"

After speaking, he looked at Wei Lao, "When can we start?"

"Immediately!" Wei Lao said, "The patient has already gone to the ward, let's head there now and then finalize the treatment plans."

With that, Wei Lao led the group towards the exit.

A grand procession of directors, chiefs, and doctors marched down the corridor, causing many young nurses and interns to look on with envy!

But they envied Liu Zixuan even more, someone so young standing in that line! While they could only stay in the hospital doing menial tasks...

When they arrived at the ward, Wei Lao stopped and said, "Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu will go in separately. Dr. Zhang Xiaoming and I will accompany inside as listeners; the others wait here!"

"Alright." Everyone nodded in unison.

"Dr. Wu, you go first; don't say I don't know how to respect the elderly!" Liu Zixuan leaned against the door and grinned.

Old Wu nodded, "Then don't say I didn't give you a chance later."

With this, Old Wu, Zhang Xiaoming, and Wei Lao entered the ward together.

Meanwhile, Liu Zixuan and the others waited outside.

"Old Hu, do you know who the patient inside is?"

"No, I've only heard they have a significant background, even the authorities are concerned."

"What illness do they have?"

"It's hard to say, I've heard it's several rare conditions. Otherwise, Wei Lao wouldn't have called all of us here!"

The crowd's discussions piqued Liu Zixuan's curiosity as well. Who was the patient inside? What kind of significant background would make a hospital take it so seriously, and what kind of rare illness?

He'd probably have to wait until he got inside to find out.

About ten minutes later, Old Wu and the others came out, and Old Wu looked at Liu Zixuan with a smile, "I suggest you give up quickly; the patient inside is beyond your capabilities!"
