Ch. 581..590
Chapter 581
Jonathan was no pushover.
After grabbing a herb, he only needed a few seconds to identify it.
When he grabbed some with a faint smell or with no smell at all, he simply tossed them aside and moved on.
Many were watching intently.
The emcees were nervous.
Thea’s palms were sticky with sweat.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
"Time's up."
Hearing this, James and Jonathan stopped.They removed their blindfold.
Looking at James, Jonathan curled his lips and smiled confidently.
"Now, let us invite the judges to the stage and verify the outcome."
Immediately after the emcee spoke, many experienced doctors got on stage.They first examined Jonathan’s answers.It did not take long for them to finish marking his answers.
In just ten minutes, he had gotten seventy-eight answers correct.
Then, it was James’ turn.
Upon seeing a dozen answers, the judges frowned.
They believed James had lost.
However, they still had to go through the proper procedures.
They opened the answers and examined them.
The answers James had jotted down matched the herbs.
"What?" They were dumbfounded.
How did James manage to identify a handful of herbs while being blindfolded? Even for experienced doctors like them who had been in the field for decades, they still needed to separate the handful of herbs to identify them individually.
James, on the other hand...
They gasped.It was nothing short of miraculous.
Jonathan walked over to them.
Seeing the dozen or so herbs that were mixed together, he laughed.
"Don’t tell me you managed to identify all of them while being blindfolded."
"Yes, I did." James replied in a matter-of-factly tone.
Jonathan did not believe him.
However, he froze upon seeing the answers.
Almost immediately, he exclaimed incredulously, "Impossible! All these herbs are grouped together.There’s no way you could identify the herbs based on scent alone.You must have cheated!"
James glanced at him and narrowed his eyes.
"Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t.I have many more answers at the back.The most I got was thirty herbs at once.Feel free to examine them yourself."
Jonathan could not believe his eyes.He opened the sealed herbs and the answers to examine each of them.
"Correct."
"Correct."
"Everything’s correct."
He was dumbfounded.
In just ten minutes, James had managed to identify more than 500 herbs.
Although there were some mistakes, it was because he had missed some which had no smell.It was an overwhelming victory for James.
Jonathan’s face was pale.He glared at James.
"Impossible! I know! You must have colluded against me because you were afraid to lose!"
"Get out of Sol, Jonathan Harris."
"Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean no one else can."
"Jerk! " The crowd reproached Jonathan.
"Silence, everyone." Delilah boomed.
The crowd gradually quieted down.
Meanwhile, James looked at Jonathan, who was astounded and said coldly, "I told you we can compete for in more than one round.Even if you lose, you can choose to challenge me in other fields to your heart’s content."
"Go get him, James!"
"What a guy!"
"He must be the Black Dragon General! He’s my hero!"
"That's right.He must be the Black Dragon! I mean...Who else but the Black Dragon could be so capable?"
"I didn’t expect the Black Dragon to be this handsome.I love you!"
"We love you, Black Dragon!"
The crowd erupted into excited cheers.
Chapter 582
James had won.
He had won a sweeping victory over Jonathan.
The crowd applauded.
This time, the emcees did not attempt to silence the crowd.
The cheers only stopped after ten minutes.
Jonathan’s earlier smirk was long gone and replaced with an angry frown. He could not believe that anyone would have such an incredible proficiency in medicine. He firmly believed that Jay and the others had conspired together to humiliate him.
“I want another round!”
Jonathan demanded in irritation.
Wearing an unfazed look, James turned to him. “Sure, you’re free to choose anything you want.”
“We’ll concoct a poison just like the earlier against Jay. This time, we’ll increase the number of herbs to ten thousand. We’ll use the ten thousand herbs and create a poison for the other party to consume.”
“Sure.”
James said without the slightest bit of hesitation,
Thea was anxious. She gently pulled at James’ sleeves and whispered, “He might be up to something.’ James lightly waved her away. Faced against absolute strength, all scheming and petty tricks were irrelevant
Jonathan continued, “The time to concoct the poison will be extended to an hour. In addition, we will no longer give the other party time to examine the poison. The assistant will consume it immediately.”
James scratched his nose. “I’m Thea’s assistant. Where on earth do I get an assistant of my own?”
He glanced at Thea and asked with a dazzling smile. “Genius Doctor Thea, how about I make the poison, and you consume it? How does that sound?”
Hearing James describe her as a genius doctor, Thea could not help but giggle bashfully, Before she could accept, Delilah stepped forward and looked at James pleadingly. “C-Can I be your assistant? i’ll take the poison.” Hearing this, James looked at her and warned her, “Think carefully. Your life is at stake here. You might die from this.”
Delilah was firm in her conviction “I trust you.” Wearing a dissatisfied expression, Thea said, “Are you trying to steal my position? I’m not
giving it up so easily.” Delilah simply smiled and replied, “Thea, you are a genius doctor. James is your assistant. You should focus on giving him instructions. Just leave the poison to me.”
Delilah knew that the man before her was the Black Dragon.
Although the generals of the Southern Plains had declared the Black Dragon dead, no one had actually seen his body.
Although Delilah was a popular actress, she too admired the hero of Sol, just like any other person.
She risked her life and stepped forward just to get closer to James.
Since Delilah had put it this way, Thea could no longer press the matter. She only grunted in reply. “Is that alright, Black Dragon?” Delilah batted her eyelids pleadingly. James glanced at Thea. Seeing that she remained silent, he gently nodded. “Yes. However, I might be using some silver needles when releasing the toxins. Your clothes will get in my way. You can only wear your undergarments.”
“Got it.”
Delilah did not hesitate at all.
The crowd was euphoric.
Delilah was the most attractive actress out there. Today, the crowd was in for a treat. While Delilah went to change clothes, Herbal Biotech prepared the necessary herbs. As ten thousand herbs were such a large volume, they had to prepare additional shelves to place the herbs.
Before the herbs were ready, Delilah had gotten on stage again. She was wearing white lingerie. Apart from her private parts, all other parts of her body were in full view of the public. She was 1.8cm tall, and her skin was smooth and delicate. Her curvaceous figure was one men would kill for.
Chapter 583
Her legs were long and slender.
They were visually striking.
"Wow...She’s gorgeous..."
"She’s wearing so little.Hot damn..."
"I’m now her number one fan! I’ve fallen for her."
The crowd went wild with anticipation and excitement.
Holding the mic, Delilah blushed as she addressed the crowd.
"To be honest, I have never worn anything this revealing before.Even when I was filming, I’ve only ever exposed my back.However, it is my duty to stand up not only for the citizens of Sol, but also Solean Medicine which was passed down through our ancestors and kept alive until today."
"So, please don’t think I’m just doing this for attention."
Hearing this, the crowd burst into raucous laughter.
Thea could not help but study Delilah’s body.Her figure was voluptuous, and her facial features were well-defined yet delicate.
Thea could not stop from comparing herself with Delilah.
Meanwhile, Jonathan wore a solemn expression.
Lucas by his side whispered, "Something’s wrong.They’re saying he’s the Black Dragon."
Not bothering to mask his agitation, Jonathan asked, "How can this be? Isn’t the real Black Dragon currently at the police station? The police are interrogating him as we speak.How can this guy be the Black Dragon?"
"I’m puzzled too.Could there be two Black Dragons?"
Lucas could not think of any logical reason for the situation and brought up a ludicrous possibility.
Jonathan took a deep breath.
"If he truly wasn’t cheating in the earlier rounds...If he’s actually the Black Dragon, there’s a high chance of me losing.This will be extremely disadvantageous to our plans.We’ll be in a tight spot if the boss needs someone to blame."
"Speaking of him...he’s right there among the audience."
Lucas glanced at the audience seat and saw the boss.
However, the boss remained silent.
Lucas could not guess what was on his mind.
"I'll call the police station and make sure."
Saying that, he turned to leave.
After going backstage, he pulled his phone out and called the police chief.
"Mr.Wrangler, is James still at the police station?"
"Yeah.I just finished interrogating him.However, he kept insisting he was being framed, but none of this matters now.The amount of evidence we have on our hands should be enough to send him to prison."
Hearing this, Lucas sighed in relief.
However, he was puzzled.
There were two James, and both of them possessed unrivaled medical skills.
Who was the real Black Dragon all along? He was stumped.He had never seen the Black Dragon in person before.
His boss was the one who told him that the Black Dragon was Thea Callahan’s husband.
Puzzled, he returned to the stage and whispered, "I’m sure of it.The Black Dragon’s still at the police station.This guy is probably just an impostor.There’s nothing for you to worry about.He must be someone our opponent sent.We just have to put in effort in the next round to defeat him."
"I hope so." Jonathan took a deep breath.He could only go one step at a time now.
Time slowly ticked away.
Soon, half an hour was over.
Ten thousand herbs had been prepared.
The backstage was filled with shelves a meter high.
Each shelf had drawers filled with herbs, and each drawer had the name of the corresponding herb on it.
"The herbs are ready."
"Are we finally about to begin?"
"Even Dr.Fallon couldn’t defeat him.Can this man by the name of James Caden, rumored to be the Black Dragon, defeat Jonathan Harris, the chairman of the National Doctor’s Association from Goryeo?"
The crowd watched in anticipation.It was a duel where lives were at stake.
The number of herbs was increased to 10,000, while the time to concoct a poison had been increased to an hour.
The poison concocted would be fatal.Someone could potentially lose their life.
Chapter 584
The battle of the century was about to begin.
This was a battle in the name of cultural inheritance.
If James lost, they would have to acknowledge Goryeon Medicine as the true path of medicine. Jonathan, on the other hand, could make use of this opportunity to spread Goryeo Medicine far and wide.
James needed to win. He had no other choice.
Kevin looked at the participants. “Are you ready?”
“Yes.”
“I’m ready.”
James and Jonathan nodded in unison.
“Three… Two… One… Start!”
Jonathan immediately went rummaging through the herbs with Lucas by his side. They searched for the herbs all the while discussing in a low voice. There was a wide variety of herbs. There were endless possibilities when it came to concocting a poison with this many herbs at their disposal.
Jonathan and Lucas wanted to create a deadly poison that was almost impossible to cure.
Meanwhile, James was deliberating in front of the shelves.
He took his time scrutinizing each herb.
Soon after, he analyzed all of them. Now that he was aware of the medicinal properties of each herb, he knew what to do. He began choosing his herbs.
Then, he concocted the poison.
An hour soon passed.
“Time’s up. Please stop.”
Kevin announced.
The crowd was at the edge of their seats. The time was up. Did they successfully make their respective poisons? James and Jonathan stopped what they were doing.
Kevin then delivered further instructions, “You may now concoct your antidotes.” Jonathan stepped forward. “I’m sorry. There’s no cure for my poison, so I’m incapable of making one. Not only that, the poison I concocted is incredibly lethal. The toxins will spread throughout the body and kill the person who consumed it in three minutes.” The crowd gasped in horror.
How vicious…
This was no competition. It was a brazen attempt at taking one’s life.
Meanwhile, Jonathan continued. “This is a competition, not a duel to the death. I don’t wish to kill anyone. If you admit defeat and acknowledge Solean Medicine as a derivative of Goryeon Medicine, I’ll concede immediately. After all, the core tenant of Goryeon Medicine is to save lives, not the opposite.” His eyes glinted coldly as they met with James. Hearing that the poison was fatal, the color drained from Delilah’s face.
Although she loved her country, she loved herself more.
“It doesn’t matter.”
James waved his bold claims away.”I’ll make the antidote myself.”
He immediately began working on an antidote for Jonathan’s poison. He managed to prepare an antidote for the so-called deadly poison in record time.
“Mr. Caden…”
Thea was afraid too. She gently pulled James’ sleeves and whispered, “S-Should we just admit defeat? What if an accident happens? We won’t be able to control the situation.”
Even the emcee remained silent. He wanted James to defeat the insufferably arrogant Jonathan. However, the risks were high. He could not bring himself to say anything. Looking at James, Jonathan said coldly. “You’d better think twice about this. I won’t be responsible for any casualties today.”
James looked at Delilah who was in her undergarments and asked, “Ms. Kimberly, do you wish to continue? If not, I’ll have no choice but to substitute you for someone else.”
“C-Can you guarantee my safety?” Delilah felt the fear of death.
She knew what Jonathan was capable of. If he said that the poison was incurable, then it must be the truth. James gave his assurance. “Do I look like the type of person to toy with the life of my fellow countryman? Relax, you’ll be fine. I guarantee you.” This did nothing to assuage Delilah’s doubts.
“I "
She wore a hesitant look.
This was no longer a mere competition. She was now gambling with her life.
Chapter 585
Why should she risk her life for something that ultimately did not involve her? The big shots who were watching under the stage remained silent.
None stepped forward to express their opinions on the matter.
Even Jay said nothing.
"Grandpa, will something bad happen?" Christine asked anxiously.
"Jonathan’s medical skills are better than yours.If he says his poison has no cure, it must be true."
Wearing a grim expression, Jay shook his head.
"I don’t know."
Christine suggested, "Shouldn’t we stop this? Things will get out of control if someone actually ends up dying.After all, the whole country...No...The whole world is watching this live."
Jay wanted to put an end to this farce.His pride, however, did not let him back down.
Calling an end to the competition was tantamount to admitting defeat.
It would mean that he acknowledged Goryeon Medicine as the superior path of medicine.He would be chastised by his countrymen.
Delilah was hesitant.
James shrugged in annoyance.He turned to look at Thea.
"Thea, you do it."
"What?" Thea froze.
"I...Umm..."
She was afraid to die too.
Although she had faith in James, the Black Dragon, Jonathan had reiterated that the poison would spread throughout the body and kill its host in just three minutes.
Could the Black Dragon really find a cure among the tens of thousands of herbs in three minutes? Not only that, there was supposedly no cure for the poison.
Seeing that Thea was intimidated, James sighed.
Did he seem so incapable that people were not willing to trust him? Curing this poison was child’s play for him.
"A-Are you really the Black Dragon?" Delilah questioned.
She wanted to know before she committed.
If James truly was the Black Dragon, she was willing to give it a try.
Even if she paid with her life, her sacrifice would be immortalized for generations to come.
James was speechless.
‘Why is she asking me this in front of everyone? Did she seriously think I’m going to admit to the whole world that I’m the Black Dragon?"
He walked over the Delilah and whispered, "Yes."
"What did he say to her?"
"Why won’t he say it out loud?"
The crowd murmured skeptically.
Delilah contemplated for a few seconds.
Then, she gritted her teeth.She wore an expression that suggested she was about to make an important decision.
After a minute, she nodded.
"I-I will still be James’ assistant.I won’t hold him responsible even if I end up dying.Herbal Biotech, the organizer of this medical conference and even Jonathan Harris won’t be liable for my death."
She looked at James.
"If I die, scatter my ashes across the Southern Plains." James gave her a smile.
"Relax.I told you you’ll be fine."
"You’ve brought this upon yourself." Jonathan cackled.
"Since you have a death wish, be my guest."
Kevin took a deep breath and said, "In that case, let's begin."
"Hold on.I still need to prepare something." James said.
He knew what Jonathan was capable of.
The poison he concocted would be deadly.
He needed to take extra precautions.
Kevin asked, "What do you need?"
"Some silver needles, alcohol, a lighter, and a fridge.Put the silver needles in the fridge to chill them in advance.Also, get me some massage cups of all sizes..."
Jay looked at Christine by her side and ordered her, "See to it immediately."
"Understood."
Christine stood up and swiftly made her way backstage to make the necessary arrangements.
Chapter 586
As the equipment James had asked for was commonly used by doctors, they were all prepared in just a few minutes.
The staff handed the poison each party had concocted to the other.
James took his portion.
It was a transparent ceramic bottle. Some white powder was clumped inside.
James opened the bottle and poured some onto his hand. Then, he gave it a cursory sniff. Seeing this, Jonathan laughed. “Based on what we agreed on, we don’t have time to examine the poison. However, since there’s no cure for my poison, I’ll give you some time to analyze it. Not like it’d make a difference in the competition’s outcome.”
As he said that, he took out James’ poison. Without even looking at it, he handed it to Lucas.
Lucas was a medicinal expert. He had been dealing with medicine for decades. All this while, he had been researching herbs and experimenting on them. As his immunity to medicinal side effects was strong, no ordinary poison could harm him.
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Lucas swallowed the poison in one mouthful.
James gave a small smile at this sight.
Although the toxicity of the poison he concocted was not high and would not lead to catastrophic consequences in a human’s body once taken, it was near impossible to neutralize
Upon consumption, the poison would instantly spread throughout the whole body. It would mix with the blood cells and spread quickly through the organs. It would be impossible to release the toxins just by using silver needles or techniques such as acupoint treatment.
The only way to treat it would be to do a blood transfusion.
After swallowing the poison, Lucas began feeling lightheaded. His vision swam with multiple images of Johnathan standing to his left, right, and even in the air. “M-Mr. Harris, I think I’m hallucinating.” Lucas said. “Sit down. Don’t move.” Jonathan ordered. Then, he took his pulse. While this was going on, James was still sniffing Jonathan’s poison. As long as it was made of herbs, traces of their scent would remain. Even if the smell had blended and undergone changes, it was still possible to identify a portion of the herbs used.
As long as he knew the raw ingredients of the poison, he could create an antidote.
What he discovered made him furrow his brows.
He was unable to detect a single scent on the poison which meant he could not identify its raw ingredients.
Since he could not create an antidote, he had to rely on other ways to release the toxins.
He turned to look at Delilah behind him.
Delilah’s face was pale. She was quivering in fear. “Are you ready?” James looked at her.
“I…” Her teeth were chattering.
–
Although she had faith in James, it did not change the fact that they were dealing with deadly poison. The anxiety created by the threat of death filled her with dread.
James reached out and grabbed her wrist. He firmly assured her. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”
Delilah could feel the strong grip of James’ arm. Hearing his confident reassurance, the fear in her heart dissipated. She nodded firmly. “I’m ready.” Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, James grabbed a glass of water from the table and poured the contents of the ceramic bottle into it.
The moment the crystal-clear water came into contact with the white powder, it became murky. Gasp! Seeing this, the reporters’ expressions darkened. Some among the crowd even stood up in fright.
Delilah’s face was white as a sheet.
“Mr. Caden, let’s just admit defeat.” Thea was anxious,
James ignored her. He handed the glass of poison to Delilah.
Delilah took it. However, her hands were shivering. She could not bring herself to drink it.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was gritting his teeth in frustration. Although James’ poison was not deadly and would only cause hallucinations, it was impossible to identify the cause of it. This meant Jonathan could only resort to his silver needles to release the toxins.
Chapter 587
"Drink it."
James looked at the wavering Delilah.
Delilah took a deep breath.
Then, she swallowed the glass of water in one gulp.It was bitter.
The moment she swallowed the water, she felt her throat burn.
The pain was excruciating.
In just a short amount of time, her smooth and fair skin had turned a bright red.
Thud! The glass fell to the ground.
Delilah collapsed on stage.
Clutching her throat with her hands, she convulsed on the floor.
"It burns! Help! It’s so painful! I’m dying!" James swiftly crouched down.He grabbed her wrist and took her pulse.Then, he observed her expression and opened her eyelids.
The whole process took less than thirty seconds.
"Help her up and hold her still." James ordered urgently.
Immediately, a few of the female staff walked over to Delilah and held her still.
James stood up and grabbed a few silver needles from the table.He swung his hand and the silver needles flew out of his hands.
One...
Two...
Three...
In the blink of an eye, silver needles were all over Delilah's body.
"What?!"
The experienced doctors below the stage all stood up and exclaimed in shock.
They had been in the field for decades and were familiar with all kinds of acupuncture treatments, yet had never witnessed something like this.
How was he able to accurately insert the needles into Delilah's acupuncture points by flinging the needles from a meter away? James’ performance stupefied them.
Some even got on stage to have a clearer view.
James used the silver needles to block the meridians and acupuncture points in Delilah’s body to prevent the poison from spreading.
At the same time, he used the silver needles as some sort of sedative to ease her pain.
Delilah’s pain slowly subsided.It was not over yet.
Drops of dark, black, sweat formed on her forehead.
They flowed down from her cheeks to her neck and dripped to the floor.
James clenched his teeth seeing this development.
"What a terrifying poison."
James was surprised by Jonathan’s poison.
Jonathan was not bluffing when he claimed that the poison would kill a person in three minutes.
"How do you feel?" James looked at Delilah.
"M-Much better," Delilah said weakly.
"Okay."
James nodded and said, "Don’t worry.I’ve already used the silver needles to block your meridians and acupuncture points.Your blood flow should have slowed down significantly.This will allow you to last an additional ten minutes.In the meantime, I will definitely release all the toxins in your body."
"Mmm.” Delilah nodded.
She had no other option but to have faith in James.
James grabbed another handful of needles.
Then, he took the alcohol and the lighter and handed them to the staff.
"Allow me." A voice piped up.
It came from Christine who was getting on the stage.
She walked over to James, "They aren't familiar with this.I'll assist you."
Hearing this, the staff handed the alcohol, lighter, and other equipment to her.
James walked over to Delilah’s back.He noticed the bra straps and made a face.
The bra straps would get in the way of his treatment.
Chapter 588
“Thea.” He called out.
“Yes?” Thea swiftly made her way over, James looked away sheepishly. “U-Unhook her bra for me. Then, hold onto her bra from the front. Don’t let it fall to the floor. I’ll be treating her from the back.”
Thea hesitated for a second. Then, she nodded, “Alright.”
She swiftly unhooked Delilah’s bra and got in front of her. That way, even if the bra fell, her naked body would not be exposed.
Delilah’s bare back was a different story. It was exposed to the crowd and the audience all over the world.
James swiftly retrieved the silver needles on Delilah’s back.
The moment the silver needles were removed from her skin, dark, black blood oozed out of the openings and slowly flowed down her body.
With silver needles in hand, James began to work quickly once again.
Soon, Delilah’s back was filled with silver needles.
“Give me the alcohol and the lighter.” Christine hurriedly handed them over to him.
“Get me the chilled silver needles in the fridge.”
Once again, Christine moved swiftly to carry out his instructions.
James poured some alcohol into his hand and shook his hand over Delilah’s back, sprinkling droplets of alcohol all over it.
Using the lighter, he then lit it up. Whoosh!
The prone beauty’s back burst into flames. “The Needle of Fire.” Jay murmured in astonishment. “The Needle of Fire… It’s a long-lost technique that was only described in ancient texts. I never thought I’d be able to witness this in my lifetime.”
After a few seconds, the flames extinguished. The silver needles were now blackened, and drops of dark, red blood oozed out from her body and flowed down the needles.
James swiftly pulled them out and threw them into the rubbish bin. Christine handed over the chilled silver needles to James. James took them and flicked his hand.
Soon, Delilah’s back was once again filled with silver needles.
At that moment, a miraculous scene played out.
The ice on the chilled silver needles slowly melted and flowed into Delilah’s body.
“The Needle of Ice…” Jay was again astounded by the technique James employed. The other doctors gasped with the self-same surprise. “Is that the Needle of Ice?”
The crowd was mesmerized at what was happening before them. Once again, James inserted more silver needles and doused them in alcohol.
Another incredible thing happened.
Some silver needles on Delilah’s back were ablaze, while the others remained frozen.
Not only that, it seemed like it was arranged in a particular fashion. The silver needles on fire were arranged to form the word ‘fire’ while the frozen silver needles formed the word ‘ice’.
They intertwined with one another.
“The Needle of Yin and Yang…”
Many doctors took a deep breath.
It was nothing short of legendary.
Once the legendary Needle of Fire and Needle of Ice fuse with one another, they form the Needle of Yin and Yang.
“Legend has it that the Needle of Yin and Yang can resurrect the dead.”
“I can’t believe I was able to witness this technique… I’m glad I was born into this world.”
Chapter 589
The long-lost, legendary medical arts James performed stunned all the doctors.
In contrast to the doctors who were focused on the intricacies of James’ procedure, the crowd was enjoying the spectacle.
From the crowd's perspective, the whole performance was entertaining and exhilarating — especially when the silver needles formed the words ‘fire’ and ‘ice’ and intertwined with one another.
They were astonished by what they witnessed.
The whole process lasted only few seconds.
After time had passed, the Needle of Fire and the Needle of Ice were extinguished by the dark blood.
James methodically removed the needles.
Through the Needle of Yin and Yang, some of the toxins in Delilah’s body were released.
However, she was not out of the woods just yet.
After that, he turned to Thea.
"Button up her shirt."
Thea carefully buttoned up Delilah’s shirt.
James ordered Delilah, "Lie on your back."
Then, with Thea’s help, Delilah lay on the bed that was prepared in advance.
James poured some alcohol into the massage cups he had gotten from the table and pulled out a lighter and ignite it.
Then, he quickly put it on Delilah's stomach.
An astonishing thing happened One of the massage cups moved around on Delilah's stomach.
"T-The Wind -chaser cup?"
Jay had no words for the many lost techniques he saw James use.
The other doctors watched James’ every action intently.
They wanted to learn as many long-lost techniques as they could.
Meanwhile, James directed his attention toward the massage cup that was slowly moving about on Delilah’s stomach.
A few seconds later, it stopped.He quickly removed it.
The massage cup was filled with poisoned blood.
James simply put it aside.
Then, he applied pressure on Delilah’s shoulders.
The tip of his finger slid through her skin and went all the way to her palms.
Immediately, her palms turned black.
James took a silver needle and pricked her skin.
Dark blood instantly oozed out from her palm.
"T-The dragon-seeking massotherapy?"
The medical experts were still murmuring excitedly.
This competition had turned into a once -in-a-lifetime experience.
All the techniques James used could only be found in ancient texts.
"Huh? nv At that moment, James noticed the unusual expression on Delilah’s face.
He furrowed his brows when he realized what was happening.
Jay, who had stood by his side, reminded him."The poison’s approaching her brain.You have to release the toxins immediately.It’s all over once it reaches her brain."
James knew that.He extended his palms and pressed them against Delilah’s stomach.
Then, he gently applied pressure.
At the same time, he lifted Delilah’s head a little.
Like lightning, he struck her acupuncture points from the top of her head to her stomach.
In just a couple of seconds, James had already struck a dozen acupuncture points.
As his actions were swift and precise, the doctors could not follow it by eyesight alone.
Through striking the acupuncture points, the poison on the upper half of Delilah’s body was quickly diverted towards her bottom half.
James pinched Delilah's thighs.
As her thighs were fair and smooth, everyone could clearly see the dark, venomous blood in her blood vessels being forcibly directed toward the soles of her feet.
James grabbed a small massage cup and pressed it against her soles.
The massage cup moved rapidly and removed the dark blood that had pooled in the soles of her feet.
James’ movements were the epitome of skill.
Not even experienced doctors who had been in the field for decades could follow his actions.
They did not understand how he managed to do this.
Through James’ techniques, the toxins in Delilah’s body were almost eliminated.
Chapter 590
Delilah’s body still contained trace amounts of poison.
Jonathan, on the other hand, was sweating profusely in panic.
He had used all means at his disposal. However, he could not release the toxins in Lucas’ body. His silver needles, acupuncture treatment, and other methods were rendered completely ineffective.
Three minutes had passed.
He tried looking over at how James was faring.
However, the crowd blocked his view.
He could not tell what was going on there, nor could he infer anything about Delilah’s condition.
After the series of detoxifying procedueres, James looked at Delilah who was lying on the bed, and asked, “How are you feeling now?” “How should I put it?” Lying on the bed, Delilah could not figure out how she was feeling exactly. After brief contemplation, she said, “I’m feeling a little dizzy. My body’s hot one moment and cold the next, but it’s not uncomfortable.”
James asked, “Can you stand?”
“I-I think so.”
She tried to get up. Thea hurriedly helped her up.
“Hold still.”
James ordered.
“Okay.”
Delilah nodded.
Glancing at the table, James grabbed a handful of silver needles and scrutinized them. He then removed two of them.
“Spread out a bit.” The doctors took a few steps back. Jonathan approached them through the gap in the crowd. He could not create an antidote for the poison in Lucas’ body, nor could he release the toxins.Since it had come to this, he was curious to see what James was going to do.
The crowd made space for James.
“Thea, you too.”
“Got it.”

Thea, who was holding on to Delilah, released her grip and took a few steps back.
The doctors formed a circle around Delilah.
The silver needles in James’ left hand slowly made their way to his right.
“Glabella.”
James flicked his wrist, and the silver needle zoomed through the air. It was flawlessly inserted into Delilah’s glabella.
“Philtrum.”
He threw another silver needle.
James did not remain in the same spot. He kept changing his position. Soon, all the silver needles were inserted into Delilah’s body.
“The eighty-one needles of abomination?”
Johnathan gasped in surprise. Then, wearing a fearful look, he said, “Y-You are the Black Dragon.” “What? The eighty-one needles of abomination?”
Hearing this, the crowd rumbled.
“Grandpa, it really is the eight-one needles of abomination. It flawlessly entered all of Delilah’s eighty-one acupuncture points.” Christine pointed out.
She had been keeping count while James was throwing the needles.
Once again, an amazing thing happened.
The silver needles on Delilah’s body immediately turned black.
All the toxins in her body were finally released.
James smiled and walked over to her. Then, he gently removed the silver needles and flashed her a bright smile. “You’re fine now.”
“Whew!” Delilah breathed a sigh of relief. She was alive. James nudged her gently. “Go get yourself cleaned up.” Delilah looked at James with adoration and nodded. “Mhm.”
Then, she swiftly left the stage. “Please accept me as your disciple.”
Hundreds of doctors knelt on stage. Even renowned doctors like Bjorn Truman and Moses were among them.
