Chapter 623
Angus‘ expression was cold as he said, “The rules of the Grand Medicinal Competition have already been set and cannot be changed just because you said so. I need to consult the organizing committee.”
Zachery scoffed. “Go ahead, but do it quickly, and don’t drag it out.”
He looked as if he had already won.
Angus snorted and reported the situation to the organizing committee, the jury, Claude, and the others to get their opinions.
Claude looked at Zachery and scoffed. “He must have been prepared, but I believe that the doctors of Florence won’t lose to such an uncivilized barbarian. In my opinion, we can have the participants vote on whether to change the rules. What do you all think?”
The other members nodded in agreement.
“Alright.” Angus returned to the main stage and looked at the participants, saying, “We will let the participants vote on whether to change the rules of the second round.
“Now, those in favor of changing the rules and conducting the second round as Mr. Ramsey proposed, please raise your hands.”
As soon as he spoke, every doctor raised their hand in an instant. There was no hesitation. They were all eager to defeat Zachery.
“Good!” Angus nodded approvingly. “In that case, the second round will proceed according to Mr. Ramsey’s suggestion. If any participants have questions about the rules, please raise your hand now.”
No one raised their hand.
Thus, the staff quickly prepared everything for the second round.
At Angus‘ command, the competition officially began.
Half an hour…
It would take a longer time than expected.
The participants were completely focused on the challenging process, but the audience below seemed rather bored.
Thus, Angus selected a few doctors to commentate on to keep the audience entertained.
“Let’s take a look at Jan Bartley. He’s renowned as the number one doctor in the West and excels in a branch of medicine different from what we have here. He has a deep knowledge of cultivating and extracting herbs.
“His identification speed is impressive. He takes barely ten seconds to pick out a herb from the 200 selections, already distinguishing whether it’s one of the original one hundred herbs.
“Now, we can see Jan placing the herbs he picked in Square 5-4 without hesitation! This shows how confident he is.”
Since the participants were separated by screens, the commentary did not interfere with the competition.
Every compartment had cameras recording every detail, ensuring the fairness of the competition.
Ding!
Just then, there was the chime of a bell.
“Time’s up!” Angus announced, “Those who haven’t finished their selections, please stop immediately or you’ll be disqualified.”
The doctors immediately stopped and came out of their compartments.
“Whoo!”
“Yeah!”
“Haha…”
Angus had not even gotten the participants‘ scores yet, let alone announce the results, but when Zachery stepped out of his compartment, the supporters from Gerland erupted in applause. It was quite abrupt
and thunderous.
Angus frowned slightly and asked, “Dear guests from Gerland, is something going on?”
The Gerlandians raised their voices.
“Of course, there is! Zachery won first place. Shouldn’t we celebrate?”
Chapter 624
“Zachery prepared for this competition for two and a half years. It’s only natural for him to get first place.”
“Exactly. Is there any problem with us celebrating?”
Their words of arrogance annoyed the Florencians.
“What are you dogs yapping about?”
“Two and a half years of practice? Do you think this is an idol trainee camp? This is the Grand Medicinal Competition!”
“The results haven’t even been announced, yet you’re already celebrating as if you’ve won. Not even a hundred Gerlandians will be able to compare to one of us, so shut your mouths!”
“How dare you claim that you’re better than Florence’s doctors? If he manages to get first place, I’ll change my name!”
“Me too!”
The emotions in the crowd were uncontrollable.
Everyone started cursing, and the atmosphere became heated. They wanted to rush up and give those arrogant fools a beating and teach them a lesson.
Andrius stood up calmly and manipulated his vocal cords to change his voice, “Host, please have the staff calculate the scores quickly and announce the results.”
Andrius was confident in his ability to win the championship. As the Wolf King, if he could not win a challenge like this, he might as well cut off his own head and send it to the enemy.
As soon as he spoke, the head of the scoring team came over with the results.
After taking a look at the results, Angus smiled and said, “Now, I will announce the top three results of this round.”
Here it came!
The audience immediately quietened down.
Only the Gerlandians still wore arrogant smiles on their faces.
“For the 11th to 50th places, we have Tiana Wolf, Ned Calderon…
“Next, in tenth place, we have May Daniels.
“In ninth place, Taylor Peck!”
Angus was announcing the names, but the Gerlandians could not take it anymore.
“What’s the point of reading the names of these trash? Hurry up and announce who’s first place!”
“That’s right. Hurry up and announce Zachery’s name!”
“Damn it, I’ve never seen such a shameless host. He’s ignoring the first place just to waste time on those useless people.”
“Are Florencians just a bunch of sore losers?”
The Florencians were not cowed in the face of this situation.
However, before they could speak, Angus sneered, “In that case, I’ll announce the top three of this round
first.”
“In third place, Denzel Crawford. In second place…
Angus deliberately paused, and the audience below fell silent.
“Zachery Ramsey from Gerland.
“The first place goes to the Wolf King”
As soon as he spoke, the crowd erupted in excitement
“That’s awesome!”
“Okay, I admit that I spoke too soon.
“Whether or not he’s pretending to be the Wolf King, as long as he can outshine that Gerlandian, I’ll give him a thumbs–up”
“I knew that I wouldn’t have to change my name!”
“He’s so cool! I’ll let him sit in the Wolf King’s seat for now, and I won’t argue with him!”
As they said, winning first place not only brought glory to Florence but also saved the Wolf King’s honor
As for the Gerlandians, they were all fuming. They stood up and started questioning.
“Impossible That’s impossible! How could Zachery be in second place? I won’t accept this”
“Damn it, he must have cheated Otherwise, how could Zachery, who has been practicing for two and a half years, lose to that kid?”
“It’s a conspiracy!”
Chapter 625
This was the vile nature of the Gerlandians
No matter what competition or sport it was, they were used to cheating and thought that everyone was the same as them. They were extremely sore losers
“I’m going to split my sides laughing. Do you think that we Florencians can’t handle you? We don’t need to cheat Just admit that you lost!”
“You’re just a bunch of idiots. Do you really think you’re invincible?”
“I won’t even bother with you idiots.”
“You’re all brainless!”
The Florencians immediately drowned out the Gerlandians‘ voices, mocking them happily
“I don’t accept this!” Zachery rushed up to Angus. “I clearly got everything correct How did I lose to that
kid?
Angus smiled and said, “Sorry, Mr. Ramsey. You indeed got all the herbs correct, but so did the Wolf King However, he did it faster than you.”
Those words infuriated Zachery, causing his blood pressure to skyrocket. “I don’t believe it, unless.
Whoosh…
Before he could finish, Angus smiled and turned on the projector, projecting the live recording of both of them on the large screen.
The process was clear.
The Wolf King‘ only glanced at the hundred medicinal herbs on the table and closed his eyes. Then, he selected the herbs from the 200 options and accurately placed them in the corresponding slot.
The entire process was smooth and without hesitation, taking only three minutes!
As for Zachery, although he also got everything night, it took him a full 27 minutes!
It was clear who the winner was!
“Damn, that so–called ‘strongest brain is nothing at all!”
“That’s really amazing!”
“He was all talk, but he’s nothing much!”
“Hahaha, don’t you already know that’s how Gerlandians are? The only thing they’re good at is browing their own trumpet”
“What a shame When they meet someone who’s truly excelent, they’ll just get slapped in the face?”
The countless mocking remarks were like konies piercing Zachery’s heart. They on the resounding slaps fiercely hitting his face
Zachery’s face turned pale and then red burning in shame
The group of Gerlandians angrily left the scene
When they got to the main entrance. Zachery turned back and said with a reer. Don’t get too cocity sat because you won this time, you pigs!”
“Next round, I’ll show you that Gerlandian medicine is the forefather and the origin of Florencian medicine! Your Florencian medicine is just rubbish that not even our three–year–old children will bother
with.”
Then, Zachery left with his people.
With the results announced, the second round of the competition came to an end.
On the main stage, Angus smiled and said, “Everyone, the third round of the competition will continue tomorrow. The organizers have already prepared a feast and various exquisite snacks and desserts for you to enjoy in the cafeteria!”
At noon, everyone was discussing the ‘Wolf King‘ in the cafeteria.
“It seems this bogus Wolf King is pretty formidable!”
“He’s not just strong. He’s unbelievably powerful! I think he has a good chance of winning the championship!”
“It’s hard to say. His ability to identify herbs and his memory only prove that he has great talent, but it doesn’t confirm that his medical skills are excellent.”
“No matter what, he’s definitely not weak.”
“He deserves to be worshiped just by what he showed today.”
Andrius‘ performance was too dazzling.
As a result, there were very few people left who still mocked him for impersonating the Wolf King. Most were looking forward to his performance in the next round.
As for Luna, who ranked second in the popularity poll….
Although she also made it through the second round, no one talked about her anymore.
Luna was surrounded by members of the Crestfalls and the Conerys, who were celebrating her easy qualification into the third round.
“Great job, Luna. You made it to the third round!”
“Luna, don’t worry about anything else and just focus on preparing for the third round. We’ll take care of everything else for you!”
Chapter 626
“That’s right, Luna. Just focus on preparing for the competition!”
“This time…”
Everyone was in high spirits, looking forward to Luna achieving a good ranking in the next round.
As for Luna herself, she was not paying attention to the conversation. She had her eyes fixed on the masked man in the corner. She was wondering who this man impersonating the Wolf King was.
She compared them.
This impersonator was strong, but compared to the Wolf King, who would be stronger?
On the other hand, Andrius was eating in the corner, minding his own business. Today’s competition was child’s play to him, so he did not feel the need to be over the moon.
However, Luna impressed him.
Most doctors started learning medicine and pharmacology from a young age. They gradually became proficient and displayed their exceptional skills through years of learning. There were not many geniuses in the world. Most were just ordinary people who worked harder than others.
However, Luna managed to achieve this level of results after only cramming for a short period, which truly caught his attention.
Andrius could not help but glance at her.
Luna also happened to look over.
Their eyes met, but Andrius remained composed.
It was Luna who looked away first. She had a familiar feeling as if she had seen that gaze somewhere before.
The Wolf King!
Yes, it was the Wolf King.
Only the Wolf King gave her such a feeling.
A thought emerged in Luna’s mind. ‘Could it be that the Wolf King isn’t dead and was just declared dead for some reason?’
What was the truth?
While she was thinking, Andrius finished eating and left.
As he left the cafeteria a large group of people came toward him.
The leader was composed and had a profound gaze that gave off a strange feeling. Although he was looking straight ahead, Andrius‘ figure seemed to be reflected in his eyes.
It was the Insect Doctor, Patrick Mendez!
Thud…
The two of them bumped into each other.
In that instant, a blood–red insect flew out of Patrick’s sleeve and landed on Andrius‘ body in the blink of
an eye.
Patrick did that on purpose. His purpose was to test how capable Andrius really was.
However, his expression changed the next moment.
Before the insect could make a move on Andrius, it was intimidated by his aura and fearfully retreated.
At the same time, Andrius‘ cold voice sounded in Patrick’s ear.
“Don’t try to challenge me, or you’ll reap what you sow.”
Andrius paused his icy gaze on Patrick’s face for a moment and left.
to deal with.
In the lounge, Andrius had just sat down when a figure approached him.
“Wolf King, I just received important information. The third round of the Grand Medicinal Competition tomorrow, which is the poison–testing round, has been manipulated!”
Harpy said in a low voice, “The poison that was to be used in the competition has been replaced with a terrible poison. If this goes on, there’s a high possibility that there might be fatalities in this competition!”
Chapter 627
A terrible poison?
Andrius was not afraid of that.
Over the years, he had been through life–and–death situations and encountered all sorts of traps and
However, Luna….
She had just entered this field, so making her participate in testing out poisons was a bit difficult for her.
It seemed like the third round of the competition tomorrow would be challenging.
He not only had to test the poison but also ensure Luna’s safety while keeping his true identity hidden from everyone.
What a hard life!
Zachery always thought highly of himself and refused to stay at the accommodation provided by the organizers. Thus, he booked an entire floor of a five–star hotel for his group.
“Damn it… That f*cker was actually faster than me! How can a stupid pig like him be faster than me?!”
Zachery cussed while smashing everything in the hotel room. The place became a mess in just a few minutes. However, he was still furious and continued to kick the fallen chair.
After he took out his anger, a subordinate came up and whispered, “Actually, I have a way to help you secure the first place.”
Zachery’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately yelled, “What is it?”
“Your main opponent in the Grand Medicinal Competition is that bogus Wolf King. The others aren’t worth worrying about. As long as we kill him, the rest of the competition will be smooth sailing for you! The championship will be yours!
“Besides, he’s just an imposter. Even if he’s discovered later, you’d have won the championship by that time, and no one will dare to do anything to you!”
Zachery became very interested after hearing about the plan.
That was right! If the problem could not be dealt with, then they would deal with the person who caused the problem.
If that fake Wolf King died, the rest of the competitors would be easily crushed like bugs!
“It’s settled!” Zachery grinned, murderous intent flashing across his face. “That fake Wolf King challenging
me is the same as him challenging Gerland. We’ll just kill him directly!”
As long as they achieved their goal, killing someone was nothing to them.
“Understood!”
The subordinate immediately began contacting the assassins who had come with them from their nation and started to plan.
Night gradually deepened, and the moonlight was dim. Occasionally, the cold wind blew, bringing along gloomy clouds.
A masked assassin approached Andrius‘ room and sprayed several canisters of sleeping gas inside through the gaps of the door and windows.
The assassin counted the seconds, then kicked open the door and rushed in boldly.
He stabbed the bed ruthlessly several times.
It was empty!
“Oh, crap!”
However, at some point in time, Andrius had already appeared behind him. His expression was straight as he looked at the assassin with a vague smile.
“Since you’ve found me, then go to hell!” A cold light flashed in the masked assassin’s eyes, and he attacked boldly.
The cold reflection of the blade swung in an arc in mid–air and appeared in front of the fake Wolf King’s throat in the blink of an eye!
Chapter 628
He was going after the throat!
Andrius pursed his lips lightly when he felt the chilly aura from above.
With a light flick of his hand, the dagger was flicked away with a crisp sound and landed on the ground with a metallic clang.
A crisp sound followed, and the assassin’s wrist was snapped.
With another grab and push, a surge of force rushed forward, sending the assassin back several steps. He crashed heavily into the wall and spewed a mouthful of blood.
The assassin suddenly stopped and turned to look at Andrius, smirking sinisterly. “You fell into a trap, fake Wolf King! This is where you meet your end!”
Then, he clapped his hands.
Whoosh…
Rustle…
A series of sounds came from behind.
He grinned and said, “Really? Do you really think a bunch of Gerlandian idiots like you can kill me?”
The Gerlandians were furious at the insult.
“F*ck!”
“Get him!”
“You’re seeking death!”
Andrius rolled his eyes.
These assassins could not even control their tempers. They were just rubbish.
With that thought, he did not hesitate to make his move.
In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the collars of two assassins who charged at him and slammed them together. Their heads caved in, and they died on the spot.
The remaining ones either fell flat with a punch or were kicked away.
Andrius dealt with half of them in less than ten seconds.
“Ah!”
At that moment, a scream sounded.
At some point, a girl appeared and let out a frightened shriek when she saw the battle.
threaten Andrius.
“Die!” Andrius snorted coldly and immediately swung both hands.
