Miao Yu had just used his Yin-Yang Eyes to examine the woman. She was now exuding death energy, and he had assumed it was due to minor ghosts and hadn't thought much of it. Hearing her words, however,...Chapter 592: Debate Competition
Soon, eight students walked up and sat at desks marked with "Pro" (in favor). The other group sat at the desks marked with "Con."
The topic for the first debate was, "'Which has a more prominent clinical effect in application: Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine' The Pro side believed that Western Medicine had a more pronounced clinical effect, while the Con side held the opposite view.
The judges were selected from some alumni who had significant reputations in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine. In total, six people were chosen to be judges.
After the students participating in the debate and the judges took their seats, President Qian suddenly came out of a small side door at high speed, with an excited expression as he walked onto the stage and picked up a microphone to announce: "I have good news. The former principal has decided to join us as a judge for this debate competition! Let's welcome him!"
Since President Qian had picked up Professor Zhuo at the beginning of the day, Professor Zhuo had been resting in a small room behind that side door while President Qian accompanied him. In his opinion, nothing was more important than properly hosting Professor Zhuo; even alumni who were influential and prestigious could not compare to one ten-thousandth of Professor Zhuo's importance.
After all, no matter how powerful these alumni were, they couldn't influence President Qian in any way. But things were different with the old principal—Professor Zhuo could dismiss him as a department-level official simply by speaking his mind, and he might also be promoted to an even higher position based on Professor Zhuo's words. Therefore, serving Professor Zhuo well was paramount for him.
“Applause...”
The moment President Qian finished speaking, the auditorium erupted into enthusiastic applause. The previously chosen judges stood up from their seats and clapped excitedly, while the students participating in the debate were even more thrilled; they looked at that small door and applauded vigorously.
Momentarily, Old Zhuo walked out from the small door. Although he was nearly a hundred years old, his spirit was exceptionally good, and he didn’t need anyone to support him as he walked straight towards the judges' seats.
The moment Old Zhuo approached, the judge sitting nearby immediately ran over to support him.
"Now I propose adding another judge. We would like to invite Master Xiao Yu!"
When Old Zhuo reached his seat and didn’t sit down but instead picked up a microphone and looked around at all the alumni in the auditorium, he said that.
The moment Old Zhuo’s voice fell silent, the originally quiet auditorium instantly became noisy as if it had been set off. Apart from a few individuals, everyone was discussing this matter because they hadn’t heard of Xiao Yu before. However, being respectfully called 'master' by Old Zhuo implied that he should be an extraordinary person. Since they didn’t hear anything about him, these people were also looking around to see who exactly Xiao Yu was.
Two of the judges looked a bit lost at first when they heard what Old Zhuo said but then realized and showed a look of understanding, while the rest still wore puzzled expressions. These judges had all achieved something in medicine, yet none of them could recall hearing about this person named Xiao Yu.
Seeing that those two judges looked like they understood, everyone else started asking in hushed voices who exactly was Master Xiao Yu.
The two judges smiled smugly when they heard their questions and said, "This year’s exchange conference you all didn’t attend. Xiao Yu won the title of master at this conference with brilliant performances which earned him recognition from all permanent councilors present as well as most other members!"
Hearing what those two judges had to say, the remaining judges were even more curious. To get such widespread acceptance was no ordinary feat! Therefore, they couldn’t help but be curious.
However, those two judges did not say so directly but told them that it couldn’t be explained in just a few sentences and would inform them later. After these two judges finished speaking, they also began to look around the auditorium.
They didn't expect Xiao Yu to be their fellow alumni. No one would mind knowing such a doctor like Xiao Yu since he might prove useful someday. Moreover, when treating Li’s child with his simple method, none of them had thought of it, let alone Doctor Chen, the pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), who praised Xiao Yu's medical skills.
Sitting in the corner, Xiao Yu was utterly bewildered at this turn of events. He hadn't expected Doctor Zhuo to act like this, but now trying to avoid it wouldn’t work either. Reluctantly, he slowly stood up and gave a salute to Doctor Zhuo with a bitter smile.
When Xiao Yu got up and saluted Doctor Zhuo, the already noisy auditorium became even more chaotic as they hadn't expected the person Doctor Zhuo referred to would be so young.
At this moment, everyone had some doubts in their minds. Could a youth like him really be the master that Doctor Zhuo mentioned Upon reflection, they all found it hard to believe. If someone of such young age could already be called a master, what about them who have spent their lives studying medicine
With no choice, Xiao Yu stood up and made his way towards the stage in the auditorium. Originally unwilling to take this spotlight, he couldn't refute Doctor Zhuo's words before all these people either. Therefore, he could only make his way to the judges' seats.
Although there were many elders present with high status within the medical community, and Xiao Yu was more than qualified for it, he still didn’t want such attention. At this moment, he felt somewhat helpless.
The alumni in the auditorium all watched as a young man called master by the founder of TCM moved forward to the stage. This unusual incident naturally piqued their curiosity and they couldn't help but try to find out more about Xiao Yu's background from others around them!
In one of the front seats in the auditorium, a youth was staring at Xiao Yu as he walked up with a wicked look on his face. He secretly vowed that he would make Xiao Yu suffer for this. This person was none other than Xiao Yu’s classmate Wang Bo.
The middle-aged man sitting in the front seat was also looking at Xiao Yu with surprise. This middle-aged man was Teacher Hou, whom Xiao Yu had met yesterday morning. Although that teacher knew that Xiao Yu definitely came from a scholarly family, how could someone so young deserve to be called a grandmaster
It's worth noting that countless veteran traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who spent their entire lives in the field have never received such an honor, yet it was bestowed upon this young man. Moreover, he was recognized by the founder of the Traditional Chinese Medicine College.
In another corner, several young people also had their mouths wide open with astonishment as they stared at Xiao Yu. They were some of Xiao Yu's classmates from his year; however, apart from the first year, they rarely spoke to him afterwards because of how poor Xiao Yu’s grades were, which made them look down upon him. Furthermore, due to Xiao Yu’s character traits—he was not one to fawn over those in power—this led to him having very few friends during his school years.
Since he could no longer avoid attracting attention, Xiao Yu quickly regained his composure and walked calmly towards the judges' seats.
"Grandmaster Xiao, I didn’t expect to meet you here after our exchange meeting. Even more surprisingly, we are classmates! From now on, we will have to get closer."
"Yes, yes, who would’ve thought that Grandmaster Xiao is also a classmate of ours Ha ha, in the future, I’ll definitely seek your guidance regarding the Liu Family’s Life-Saving Acupuncture Technique!"
As soon as Xiao Yu was about to reach the judges' seats, several middle-aged and elderly men sitting at the front rows stood up. They clasped their hands together and greeted him with a hearty laugh.
Xiao Yu treated Li Family’s young man using methods that were very simple, but everyone present had failed to come up with any solutions. Xiao Yu managed to heal him effortlessly.
Only the wise understood the brilliance of this: He used the simplest method to cure a condition that no other brilliant doctor in the world could treat. This demonstrated why Xiao Yu deserved his title as a grandmaster.(To be continued) membership level and must clearly inform others about it upon request.
