What was this situation?
Park Chang-ho had succeeded in detoxifying on the very first try.
On the other hand, on the Great Xia side, Hua Tianyi, the head of the Pill Tower, Elder Zheng Zhongtian, and Fang Yongzheng, the president of the Medical Association, had all failed!
And…
Their symptoms were worsening!
The trembling grew more severe, the convulsions more extreme.
Those spitting blood were close to coughing up their lungs.
Everyone below was stunned.
Shocked by how formidable Park Chang-ho from Great Han Ming Nation was.
They also resented the three from Great Xia for being so incompetent, losing to Great Han Ming Nation on their own territory!
Park Chang-ho finished detoxifying leisurely.
He looked at the three and sneered dismissively, "You three... aren't you self-proclaimed masters of medicine in Great Xia?"
"How can you not even solve such a simple poison?"
"I really wasn't wrong..."
"You pigs of Great Xia are all foolish and incompetent, not suited for medicine at all. Go back to digging the earth!"
"Hahaha…"
With that, Park Chang-ho burst into laughter.
He laughed without restraint, his laughter wild and unrestrained.
Everyone below was furious, their faces contorted, but they could do nothing, feeling extremely stifled.
Fang Yongzheng, Hua Tianyi, Zheng Zhongtian…
Their eyebrows and beards trembled, and seeing his swagger, they wished they could devour him.
But the problem was, they hadn't been detoxified yet!
If this continued, it would be fatal!
"Speaking of which…"
Park Chang-ho suddenly looked at the three and said sinisterly, "Grandfather won't trouble his grandson, and I won't stand by and watch you three die before my eyes."
"As long as you admit that Xia medicine originates from Great Han Ming Nation, I will give you a dose of the antidote I've prepared. How about it?"
"Hahaha…"
He let out another hearty laugh at this point.
Fang Yongzheng and the other two, already looking extremely unwell due to poisoning,
Were now utterly ashamed upon hearing his words.
Immediately.
The three buried their heads and worked again, forcibly supporting their bodies, attempting to concoct another antidote.
"Well done!"
"This is the spirit we, the people of Great Xia, should possess!"
"Listen to me, you three. Whatever insults these dogs from Great Han Ming Nation throw at you, you will return them tenfold!"
"Straighten your backs!"
"Go for it!"
For a moment, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
Before this, they had come to watch the competition between the Medical Association and the Pill Tower.
But now…
The scoundrels from Great Han Ming Nation had come to bully them. Since they were all from Great Xia, they naturally stood together against the common enemy.
Let's deal with these dogs from Great Han Ming Nation first.
There would always be time for excitement later.
But the dignity of the nation, the dignity of Great Xia, could never be compromised!
They could fight amongst themselves however they wished; that was their own business, like a left hand hitting a right.
But in front of Great Han Ming Nation, they had to win this battle!
"Ridiculous."
Facing this scene, Park Chang-ho scoffed.
The audience below glared with indignation.
A few minutes quickly passed.
Hua Tianyi was the first to finish preparing the medicine.
But after taking it, not only did it not detoxify him, it worsened his condition.
Following closely.
Zheng Zhongtian and Fang Yongzheng also took their second doses of antidotes, but the results were similar to Hua Tianyi's.
The antidotes, instead of detoxifying, aggravated the poison.
Upon seeing this, the spirits of the Great Xia crowd, which had just been lifted, suddenly plummeted.
This poison…
Was it truly that potent?
Not a single one of the three medical masters could find a cure?
For a moment, many felt disheartened.
However, what slightly comforted them was that.
Fang Yongzheng, Zheng Zhongtian, and Hua Tianyi had not given up.
They, with their weakened bodies, threw themselves back into preparing antidotes.
"Go, you are the best!"
"Our Great Xia should possess the spirit of perseverance, never giving up!"
"These are the true sons of Great Xia!"
"Even if you lose… you are still our pride!"
"Keep fighting!"
The venue was filled with encouragement.
This was no longer merely a medical competition.
It was the blossoming of Great Xia's national spirit, the soaring of its pride.
The antidotes prepared by the three were released again.
But to everyone's disappointment, all three failed again.
Even worse…
Due to the spread of the poison and the intensification of the medicine's effects, they were on the verge of death, their lives hanging by a thread.
For a moment.
Countless audience members below could not bear to watch any longer.
They couldn't bear to see them fail, nor could they bear to see such unyielding spirits collapse before them, collapse under the enemy's arrogance…
"Stop wasting your efforts."
Just then, Park Chang-ho spoke again, his voice full of sarcasm, "With the strength of you three, even if you try to detoxify a hundred more times, you may not succeed!"
A smirk played on his lips as he took out three small packets, containing the antidotes he had prepared in the meantime.
"As long as you admit that Xia medicine originates from Great Han Ming Nation, you can immediately turn the tide and be saved!"
"Why cling to pride for a moment and lose your lives?"
Park Chang-ho's tone was laced with mockery and temptation.
"I, I…"
Zheng Zhongtian was the first to crack. Trembling, he reached out his hand towards the antidote in Park Chang-ho's grasp: "I, I am willing… to admit, give me the antidote!"
Park Chang-ho pulled the antidote back and sneered, "Say it to the crowd below first."
"I, I will say it…"
Zheng Zhongtian lowered his head, unable to bear the gaze of the people below: "Xia medicine, originates, from, from… Great Han Ming Nation."
