"Bone setting, feel it yourself. Are you all better now?"
Reminded by Lin Fan, the middle-aged man realized that the pain from before was only temporary. His back felt very comfortable now.
And his height had actually increased.
Now, standing tall and looking at the others, he was clearly half a head taller than them.
"It, it's really healed."
"Yes, this is too miraculous."
The way everyone looked at Lin Fan had changed.
They had never expected him to be able to cure the middle-aged man's hunchback so quickly.
Those who had supported Da Sheng earlier now began to waver.
"Could it be that this kid is really a miracle doctor?"
"Most likely. That's bone! He just straightened it out. Amazing!"
"I would never dare to do that. It could be fatal."
Lin Fan asked with a relaxed expression, "Well, am I the winner of this round?"
Da Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, you win!"
"Let's not delay. It's the last round. Doctor Da Sheng, do you know acupuncture?"
The skill of acupuncture wasn't about the technique, but about the understanding of acupoints.
Da Sheng felt uneasy. If he lost this round, he would be utterly humiliated.
The surrounding people were all people he had called over, his fans.
Losing face in front of fans was the most shameful thing in life.
The patients this time were two elderly ladies, both suffering from leg problems and back pain.
These were common ailments. As people aged, they all experienced back pain and difficulty with their legs and feet.
Acupuncture could invigorate blood and remove stasis, making their bodies feel lighter.
Lin Fan had one of the elderly ladies lie down on the examination bed and began to perform acupuncture on her.
It only took five minutes to finish the acupuncture.
Meanwhile, Da Sheng, standing beside him, had only managed to insert five needles in five minutes, as slow as a snail.
Who would win or lose was clear at a glance.
"This kid is really amazing!"
"It seems the rumors are true!"
"I said before that Lin Fan's medical skills were excellent. The major hospitals in Yunqing City invited him to come, but he declined."
"I don't believe it. The benefits in the city are so good, why wouldn't he go?"
"Don't speak yet. Acupuncture isn't just about speed; slow work brings fine results. We still need to see the effects."
While everyone was chattering, the elderly lady on the examination bed had already stood up.
"Auntie, how do you feel?" Lin Fan asked with concern.
The old lady touched her waist and replied truthfully, "Good, good. It feels like something is massaging my waist. Very comfortable."
"And… my legs and feet seem more agile than before."
After getting off the bed, the old lady walked around a few times.
When she arrived, she had been walking unsteadily, but now she moved with ease.
Almost like a young person!
Seeing such a clear effect, everyone was incredibly shocked.
"It's better so quickly?"
"Old Mrs. Liu's leg and foot problems have been there for over ten years."
"Yes, it's healed just like that. Is it real?"
"Are we all blind? How can this be fake?"
"Miracle Doctor Lin is indeed amazing. We really can't deny it!"
"What about Doctor Da Sheng? Perhaps he is even more skilled!"
The crowd turned their gaze to Da Sheng and were speechless.
Da Sheng had only inserted five needles and was already looking distressed, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. It was clear he was anxious but helpless.
And on the examination bed, the old lady's face was filled with pain.
"Why does this acupuncture hurt so much?"
"Acupuncture shouldn't hurt, right?"
"What's going on?"
Many people questioned Da Sheng.
The more this happened, the more anxious Da Sheng became.
He was exposing his incompetence to everyone.
Lin Fan walked over and said, "Old sir, you've chosen the wrong acupoints. Although it's usually in this area for ordinary people, this old lady is advanced in age, and her bones have degenerated and atrophied, so the acupoints have shifted slightly."
"The location of acupoints on the human body must be determined based on the specific situation. You can't just rely on what medical books say."
It was clear that Da Sheng didn't understand this.
The outcome of the final round was already undeniable.
The development and result of this matter were completely beyond everyone's expectations.
They hadn't expected this unknown Lin Fan to completely defeat Da Sheng.
A staunch fan of Da Sheng, unwilling to accept it, said angrily, "This competition is unfair! Doctor Da Sheng's strength lies in diagnosis and prescribing medicine, and you deliberately chose a field he's not familiar with!"
Lin Fan shrugged and said, "Alright, let's see how the first two patients are doing."
Everyone examined the two patients from earlier. Since it was just a simple case of internal heat, the examination was very straightforward.
They checked the condition of their mouths and listened to the sound of their throats.
As soon as they opened their mouths, the difference was obvious.
The patient treated by Lin Fan had a redder, more lustrous color in their mouth, indicating health, and no foul odor.
The patient treated by Da Sheng had a yellowish complexion in their mouth, a pungent medicinal smell emanating from it, and their throat was still hoarse.
"My medicine needs some time to take effect."
Even though Da Sheng argued, everyone could see that the outcome was decided.
Da Sheng's staunch fans turned pale.
He had never imagined that this experienced old Chinese medicine practitioner, who had been practicing for decades, would be completely crushed by a junior.
Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "Old sir, with your level of medical skill, you should stop treating patients. It was fine before when nothing went wrong, but if something happens in the future, it will harm yourself and others!"
"I..."
Da Sheng didn't know how to retort and could only turn ashen with anger.
Everyone was looking at him with disdain.
"I originally thought Doctor Da Sheng was very impressive! Now it seems he's just an incompetent doctor!"
"It depends on who you compare him to. In front of this young miracle doctor, his medical skills are indeed not very good!"
"Actually, I noticed it when I went to see him for treatment that time. He just randomly prescribed me some medicine, and my cold didn't get better at all. I only managed to recover through my own resistance."
...
Those who had praised Da Sheng earlier were now criticizing him.
Some people were like this. They didn't have much ability, but through word of mouth, they became legends.
Da Sheng was too embarrassed to stay there and walked out with his head lowered.
The crowd watched him leave like he was a spectacle. "He's running off already?"
"How embarrassing!"
...
Lin Fan raised his hands to calm them. "Alright, alright, this matter is over. Everyone can go home now."
"Disperse, disperse! Don't crowd here!"
Some people left immediately, while others stayed.
"Miracle Doctor Lin, please examine me! I've had a headache recently."
"I want to be examined too! I think I'm sick, but I don't know what's wrong. Can you check me?"
They were all scrambling to have Lin Fan examine them.
Lin Fan was not impatient, nor did he blame them for their rudeness earlier. He first asked them to line up and then examined them one by one.
It wasn't until evening, when it was already dark, that he finished his work.
