"Okay, we have finalized our participants for the competition," announced Mr. Jinhai Ye Yang, Dr. Jincheng Wu Mingzhong, and Mr. Jincheng Jiang Chen!"

Wu Qiubo turned and loudly proclaimed.

"They're sending him to compete?!"

Cangben Tailang and his two companions were taken aback and furrowed their brows in unison.

Goumao Jingshang muttered to himself in a low voice, "Does he even know medicine, or is this to... target us?"

Not only were they puzzled, but so were the others.

"Jiang Chen? Who is that?!"

"Is it one of those two youths? Are they really sending a young person to compete?"

"Why not have President Wu and Director Chen compete? Has the Flame Dragon Kingdom simply given up?"

"This... It seems the Flame Dragon Kingdom really has given up, allowing a youngster to gain experience in the competition!"

The people in the meeting room exclaimed their surprise aloud.

"Chairman Goumao, please bring your patients in," Wu Qiubo turned to address Goumao Jingshang.

The patients for the challenge were chosen by the challenging party and were not to be revealed to the challenged party prior to the challenge, to prevent them from coming up with a treatment plan in advance. This rule was somewhat disadvantageous for the challenged party and was one of the reasons why winning the chairman position required winning three consecutive challenges.

"Okay!"

Gou Mao Jingshang nodded and took out his phone to make a call.

Click!

Soon after, the conference room doors opened and a young man and woman, both slightly pale, entered from the doorway, followed by two middle-aged samurai with katanas at their waists.

"Those two are the patients?!"

"Such young patients! And they don't seem to be very ill!"

"What is Beihai National trying to do?"

"This... looking at their complexions... could it be spiritual damage?"

"Spiritual damage? Beihai National is really ruthless, they must want to showcase the full potential of their Soul Healing Art!"

Seeing the four enter, representatives from various countries began to discuss among themselves.

The two young patients, under the watchful eyes of the two samurai, stepped up to the podium and, with fearful glances at Cangben Tailang and his companions, lowered their heads.

Noticing the strangers' odd behavior, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he stealthily sent out a thread of Inner Qi toward the two.

Hmm?

Jiang Chen's gaze changed slightly, and he was momentarily stunned.

The two young patients were in fact martial artists, the young man possessing Earth Grade Peak strength and the young woman possessing Semi Innate Peak strength. But right now, there was no Inner Qi in their bodies, their presence barely noticeable, as if their Dantians were destroyed!

"These two young patients are the subject of today's challenge. We all know that infants and the elderly are the most challenging patients, but sometimes, illnesses in young people can be even more fatal. Whether these two will continue to live depends on whether your Flame Dragon Kingdom's delegation has the required medical skills. Their bodies can't withstand multiple treatments; at most, they can only be treated once!"

Goumao Jingshang gestured towards the two youths and explained coldly.

"Just one chance to treat them?!"

"Beihai National is really harsh! If the Flame Dragon Kingdom's representatives can't cure their illness, not only will they lose the competition and the chairman position, but they'll also face public backlash. This move is truly ruthless!"

"However, this is not unwarranted, as Beihai National must have made thorough preparations to seize victory in this competition!"

"I feel, things might not be that simple!"

The conference room erupted in exclamations from everyone.

"Chairman Wu, to allow these young lives to continue, I suggest you just concede defeat directly, otherwise, if your treatment fails, then you will have personally sent a young life to its end!" Goumao Jingshang spoke with a compassionate expression.

Wu Qiubo's face suddenly flashed with anger, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Goumao Jingshang.

Now, he understood the Beihai National delegation's scheme, cruel indeed.

But to concede defeat just like that, he really couldn't bear it.

Yet, if the treatment really failed, he could fully anticipate how the Beihai National delegation would publicize their lack of humanity, treating human life like grass.

This left Wu Qiubo in a dilemma.

"As healers, we all have the heart of a parent; no one wants to see life slip through their fingers. Hence, we will strive to treat their conditions. As for failure, sorry, the word 'failure' just doesn't apply to me!" Jiang Chen said indifferently.

As soon as this remark was made, the scene stirred.

"What confidence!"

"I hope that kid isn't just talking big; otherwise, once their treatment fails, Beihai National has got another reason to shine!"

"Yeah! Such youth, daring to speak such words!"

"Alas! Sending him out on behalf of the Flame Dragon Kingdom is really a misstep!"

A series of sighs filled the conference room, as the delegates shook their heads at Jiang Chen.

"What arrogance! Even we can't guarantee curing every disease, yet he dares to make such boastful claims!"

"Maybe what he means is, if he thinks it can't be cured, then he won't do it. Isn't that also considered not failing?"

In the corner, a young and an old man scoffed disdainfully.

"Hehe! It seems Mr. Jiang is quite confident! Let's wait and see!" sneered Goumao Jingshang.

Concerned, Wu Qiubo glanced at Jiang Chen, then turned to address the remaining two parties in the front row: "Please, the representatives from the Northern Confederation and Y Country come up and examine the condition of the patients."

Mo Si and others from the Y Country side stood and made their way to the podium, leading the two young patients to the examination equipment on either side of the podium, while Jiang Chen and his group stood by waiting.

After a while, the representatives checked one and then switched patients to examine the other.

When both had been examined, half an hour had passed, and the representatives compared their findings and gathered at the center of the podium.

"The conditions of both patients are basically the same, and the severity of their conditions is also largely the same," Mo Si said quietly.

"Agreed!" The Y Country delegate also nodded in agreement.

Wu Qiubo nodded, "Fine, now, it is the turn of the challenged party to examine and discuss; you have half an hour."

Ye Yang turned to Jiang Chen upon hearing this: "Mr. Jiang, now is our time to confirm the patient's condition."

"Okay!"

Jiang Chen nodded and walked toward the nearby machine, with both patients standing by waiting for their examination.

Arriving at the machine, the young man was standing there, and Jiang Chen extended his hand to check the young man's pulse, sending a thread of Inner Qi to check carefully.

"Can you tell me how you sustained your injuries?" After about five seconds of examination, Jiang Chen furrowed his brow, released the young man's pulse, and asked softly.

Ye Yang was momentarily taken aback and quickly reminded him, "Mr. Jiang, during the competition, to ensure fairness and prevent them from disclosing their condition, they are forbidden from speaking!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, nodded gently, and turned to walk towards the young woman on the other side.
