Looking at the shocked expressions of the crowd.
With her head held high, Miura Sakurako’s face was filled with pride.
Vernon Steel slightly narrowed his eyes.
Such a young girl possessing such mysterious medical skills, she was indeed remarkable.
Yoshida Takuma, Ichiro Fujiwara, and Kamitani Hirokawa all had proud expressions on their faces.
"Sakurako, treat the next one. Let them witness your mystical medical skills again!"
Yoshida Takuma said loudly.
Miura Sakurako responded and walked directly towards a middle-aged man.
She observed the complexion of the man and then said, "Open your mouth and let me see."
The middle-aged man obediently opened his mouth.
After taking a look, Miura Sakurako directly said, "You seem to have an inflammation and soreness in your throat, right?"
"Yes, yes, that’s right!"
The middle-aged man repeatedly nodded, "I have been feeling a bit feverish these days, it’s very uncomfortable!"
Miura Sakurako didn’t say anything else, instead she turned to Vernon Steel and said, "Divine Doctor Steel, could you please have your assistant fetch me a bowl of clear water?"
Vernon Steel told one of the medical hall assistants, "Go and get a bowl of clear water."
Although rather annoyed, the assistant followed the instructions and fetched a bowl of clear water.
After receiving the clear water, Miura Sakurako took out another talisman paper from her medicine box.
She held the talisman paper with her right index finger and middle finger, and began to recite incantations again.
Soon, the talisman paper on her fingertips ignited once again.
The ash from the burning talisman paper fell into the bowl.
After completely burning the talisman paper,
She took a pinch of cinnabar from the medicine box, sprinkled it into the bowl, and stirred it with a wooden stick.
Then, she handed the bowl to the middle-aged man and said, "Drink this bowl of water, and your problems will be cured."
After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man drank the water in one gulp.
After just a few minutes.
Miura Sakurako said, "Feel it, is your throat better?"
The middle-aged man lightly coughed a few times and was instantly stunned!
"Is it better? Speak up!"
"Yeah, hurry up and say something. It’s killing us with anticipation!"
The people around began to urge him.
The middle-aged man swallowed and said, "It’s better. My throat is really better, it doesn’t hurt at all!"
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the crowd was once again shocked.
"My God, this young girl is so formidable?!
A talisman paper healed the rheumatoid arthritis of the old man, and a bowl of water cured this guy’s throat?!"
"Although it’s hard to admit, we have to acknowledge that her medical skills are really impressive!"
"It seems that this time, Divine Doctor Steel has really met his match!"
The crowd was shocked, upset, annoyed, and their feelings were mixed.
Miura Sakurako smiled and said, "Divine Doctor Steel, you’ve conceded two patients to me already. Are you still going to concede?
If you continue to concede, you might really lose this contest!"
"Master, start treating quickly, it’s a competition now!"
"Yes, Divine Doctor Steel, start quickly, you can’t afford to lose!"
Everyone began to urge Vernon Steel to start treating.
Vernon Steel nodded and said, "Little lady, then I’ll have a match with you!"
With that said, Vernon Steel also started treating the patients present.
Yoshida Takuma cried out, "Demonstrate your prowess, Miss Sakura!"
Miura Sakurako nodded her head and also continued treating the patients present.
Vernon Steel’s mysterious medical skills were quite formidable, able to treat a patient every few minutes.
However, Miura Sakurako’s mysterious medical skills were also impressive, almost keeping up with Vernon Steel’s treatment speed.
The competition proceeded intensely.
The people present didn’t dare even to breathe.
Time passed second by second.
A full half-hour passed.
Yoshida Takuma said aloud, "Time’s up!"
Vernon Steel and Miura Sakurako simultaneously stopped their hands.
Yoshida Takuma said to a disciple of the Sacred Medicine Gate, "Go count the numbers!"
The disciple nodded, and then began to tally the number of patients healed by both parties.
The Mysterious Doctor Pavilion also sent a medical hall attendant to count the numbers.
The disciple from the Sacred Medicine Gate said loudly, "Miss Sakurako cured eighteen patients in half an hour!
Divine Doctor Steel has cured seventeen patients in half an hour!"
The attendant from the medical hall also nodded, clearly his count was the same.
All the people present were dumbfounded.
"No way, did Divine Doctor Steel actually lose?!"
"Just shy of just one!"
"How is this young girl so powerful that she even defeats Divine Doctor Steel?!"
Everyone’s faces were filled with astonishment and sorrow.
"Divine Doctor Steel, good game!"
Miura Sakurako bowed with a smile.
Vernon Steel let out a deep sigh.
"Is this your River City’s Divine Doctor?
Yoshida Takuma sneered, and then took the "challenge letter" from a disciple and handed it to Vernon Steel, saying loudly, "Vernon Steel, sign it!"
At this moment, Yoshida Takuma had no respect for Vernon Steel, and even directly called him by his name.
A doctor from Mysterious Doctor Pavilion shouted angrily, "If my Master had not surrendered two patients to this young girl, how could she have won my Master?"
Yoshida Takuma shrugged and said, "It’s not us who let her. He wanted to do it. Now that he has lost, who is to blame?"
Ichiro Fujiwara also scoffed, "I think the old man relies on his age, thinking he had already won, that’s why he surrendered two patients to our Miss Sakurako, right?"
"Old man, arrogance comes with a price!"
Kamitani Hirokawa also echoed with a scoff.
"You guys are too despicable, daring to disrespect Divine Doctor Steel !"
"You must apologize to Divine Doctor Steel!"
The physicians and assistants of the medical hall all shouted in unison.
Vernon Steel shouted, his face coldly staring at Yoshida Takuma and others, saying, "I admit defeat in this contest, this word, I will sign!"
"Master, don’t sign, don’t sign!"
"You are the Divine Doctor of River City, how can you admit defeat to them?!"
"We can challenge them again, this time we won’t surrender to them!"
The physicians, assistants, and patients of the medical hall gnashed their teeth, very unwilling to submit.
Yoshida Takuma sneered, "Challenge again? If this old man keeps losing, would we have to keep playing?
Is this how shameless you people from East Nation are, not admitting defeat when you lose?"
Vernon Steel took a deep breath, trembling as he picked up the pen and signed his name on the "challenge letter" already filled with 24 names.
This is not just a name, but a humiliation!
Yoshida Takuma took the challenge letter and burst into laughter.
"Let’s move on to the next one!"
Yoshida Takuma waved his hand, prepared to leave with Ichiro Fujiwara, Kamitani Hirokawa and Miura Sakurako.
However, as Yoshida Takuma and others reached the entrance.
Vernon Steel said loudly, "Don’t be too arrogant too early, someone will definitely defeat you!"
Yoshida Takuma burst into laughter, saying, "Then we’ll wait and see!"
