Chapter 123 Top Five

  The first round of the medical competition was still a written test, but this time the questions were much more difficult than in previous rounds. The competition was "ten into five", meaning that after the final results were announced, five contestants would be eliminated.

  The audience usually hates the written test the most. Half an hour has passed, and some people have already started yawning. Fortunately, there is still a visually pleasing Tang Yajou standing in front of the stage, otherwise someone would not be able to help but fall asleep.

  Tang Yaru stood on the stage, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at Chu Nan and Yin Zhaotian, who were answering questions. Beautiful women love heroes, it has always been so since ancient times. Yin Zhaotian was not only the number one hot candidate in this competition, but also a noble from the capital, naturally winning the favor of beautiful women. In fact, countless women across the country regarded Yin Zhaotian as their Prince Charming.

  Chu Nan had made a big splash in the Jiangwan City divisional match, and Tang Yaru was also from Jiangwan City, so she had naturally heard a lot about Chu Nan. In fact, before hosting this round of matches, she had even taken the time to watch a video of the previous Jiangwan City competition, and for a moment, she was also captivated by Chu Nan's brilliance.

  "Teacher, I've finished."

  A student handed in his paper, and soon other students also handed in their papers one after another. The papers were passed to the judges' table by the staff. Zhang Jingyan slowly closed his eyes, his face not looking good. According to Zhang Jingyan's strength, although he was not as strong as Chu Nan and the other three hot favorites, he was still ranked among the top five. However, written tests were indeed not a competition segment that he excelled in. Theoretical knowledge was his weakest link. He had a feeling that he might be eliminated in this round.

  As expected, the final results were soon handed over to Tang Yaru's hands. Zhang Shoucai's eyes in the audience seat showed a hint of disappointment, and he glanced at Zhang Jingran twice in the contestant seat. Zhang Jingran's elimination was also within his expectation. It wasn't that Zhang Jingran's strength was inferior to others, but rather due to bad luck. When he learned that the first round was a competition, Zhang Shoucai knew it would end up like this. After all, Zhang Jingran's theoretical and practical abilities differed too much.

  Tang Yaru held the list in her hand, and a hint of sadness appeared on her lovely face. She said softly: "Although I don't want to announce what's coming next, as a host, I have to say that five excellent contestants will leave the competition arena ahead of time. The ranking of these five contestants is not in order, they are Liu Guangjun, Li Ye, Wang Shan, Zhang Jingran, and Wu Bin. Although they were eliminated, their elegance has been permanently recorded by us. Before they leave the contestant seats, let's give them a warm applause!"

  Zhang Jingran and others stood up one after another, although they were eliminated, but their demeanor did not lose, each of them nodded slightly to the surrounding people, and then left the audience seat, walking towards the rest area.

  Tang Yaru's expression was in place, and her language was also in place. The five eliminated contestants were like heroes who died on the battlefield, receiving unprecedented applause.

  Tang Yaru's gaze fell on the remaining five people, and she smiled: "Next, I'll announce the rankings of the top five. The first place is Kyoto City's representative contestant Yin Zhaotian. Yin Zhaotian achieved a perfect score!"

  This biggest hot grab got the opening red of the final, and the atmosphere of the whole scene was ignited at once.

  Judge Zhao on the judges' panel chuckled and said, "This Yin Zhaotian is indeed a rare talent that appears only once in a hundred years. These test questions were set by the National Medical College, and even we judges find it difficult to get full marks. It's clear that these questions are very challenging, but unexpectedly, he got full marks, which is really remarkable."

  Zhang Shoucai said coldly due to Zhang Jingran's presence, "It's just theoretical knowledge. Yin Zhaotian has been taught by many famous teachers since he was young, so his theoretical knowledge is naturally stronger. However, in terms of medicine, it still depends on practice."

  Zhang Shoucai's words were not wrong, and the other judges also nodded in agreement. However, they had to admit that Zhao Yao's words were not wrong either. It was indeed too difficult for this test paper to get a full score.

  Tang Yaru continued to announce: "The second is Wu Yue, a representative of Changchun City."

  "The third is Li Jiagui, representative of Liuhe City."

  "The fourth place is represented by Fang Junzhou from Jiangwan City."

  "The fifth is Chu Nan, representing Jiangwan City."

  "Let's give the top five a warm round of applause!"

  Tang Yaru's gaze fell on Yin Zhaotian, thinking that this Kyoto City's proud son was indeed incomparable to other contestants, and in every aspect, he was unbeatable.

  Wang Yue in the audience said somewhat nervously: "Luoxi, Brother Chu won't lose, will he? He only got fifth place!"

  "This is the heyday of the entire Northern Medical Competition, with many awesome figures attending. The contestants were selected from half of the Chinese population, and getting fifth place is still pretty impressive."

  Ling Luo Creek smiled and said, "The competition has just begun, this first round is theoretical knowledge. Chu big brother has been learning from his master since he was a child, and doesn't have much book knowledge, so it's estimated that theoretical knowledge is his weak point. Getting fifth place is okay, at least he can enter the next round."

  Hu Niang also said: "Sister Luo Xi is right, people with strong theoretical knowledge may not necessarily have good medical skills after all, it's just reciting from a book. The next competition is the most crucial."

  It's said that, but Hu Niang and Ling Luo Xi also sweated for Chu Nan, after all, the fifth place was really dangerous, maybe before just a few points less would have been eliminated.

  Ba Ye's car drove onto the mountain road leading to other cities from Jiangwan City. This road is usually deserted because it's too rugged, although it's a shortcut, but if you want to reach the nearest city nearby, it might take two or three hours more than taking the highway.

  Li Batian was also unlucky today. When the car had driven halfway, a thick and towering tree that had been broken in half suddenly appeared on the road ahead, blocking the way. After Li Batian got out of the car and moved the tree away, they wasted some more time. Then, after driving for a while longer, one of the tires blew out on the road. Helpless, Li Batian and the driver had to get out of the car again to change the tire.

  Ba Ye and Miao Rui sat in the car, Miao Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead, somewhat tiredly saying: "This road is really too bumpy, I feel like my skeleton is going to fall apart."

  The eighth master was also unbearable. All these years, he had been living a life of luxury and comfort, but in the end, he ended up like this in his old age. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "This is all because of that bastard Chu Nan. Once I get to H City, I must find a way to get help from the Dragon King and make a comeback..."

  Miao Ruidao said, "As long as Ba Tian is here, the Dragon King won't neglect us. However... Eighth Brother, I really regret taking this broken road. When will we arrive in Ha City?"

  "Alas, there's no choice. This is also a precautionary measure. Who would have thought that we'd take this mountain road to H City? And who would have thought that we'd leave Jiangwan City today? This is like having double insurance. As long as we make it to H City alive, this bit of hardship doesn't matter."

  Miao Rui burst out laughing and said: "That's true, when we were young, we suffered a lot more than we do now..."

  Old Eighth also laughed and said, "I remember when we were young, you followed me everywhere. At that time, your body was thin and weak, and we had no foundation in Jiangwan City. We were beaten by the local underground forces several times, and you almost died... Alas, thinking about it, how much suffering did you endure with me back then!"

  Miao Rui smiled and said: "Eighth Master, we are not old yet, we still have the opportunity to start all over again. Sooner or later, we will be able to return to Jiangwan City."

  "Yes, one day I'll make a comeback in Jiangwan City." Eighth Master said with his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking, after suffering such a blow, it's probably hard to have another chance to turn things around. Will the Dragon King really help him deal with Chu Nan? Even if the Dragon King drives Chu Nan out of Jiangwan City, can Eighth Master still be his old self? A person is getting old, not accepting old age won't do...

  He could only bury these words in his heart, and would not say them to the old man beside him. He still needed Miao Lao and Li Ba Tian, as the two of them, one literary and one martial, followed closely behind him, he would be able to gain the Dragon King's respect, and be able to keep his life safe, and live out the rest of his days in peace.

  This time the tire change took a long time, and when it was almost done, the driver and Li Batian got in. The driver wiped the sweat from his head and panted heavily: "Eighth Master... let's take a break before we go again, it's really too hot..."

  Although Eighth Master was anxious, he indeed felt that driving while fatigued was too dangerous. Seeing the driver's condition, he could only nod and say: "Then let's take a rest for a while."

  Today's luck is really bad, first there was a tree blocking the way halfway, then a tire burst, no wonder other cars take this mountain road.

  In the medical competition, the second round has also started. This second round is more exciting. The Medical College selected five patients with brain tumors from prisons across the country and promised them a reduced sentence. As a result, these five patients, although nervous, still accepted the craniotomy surgery performed by the contestants.

  However, this operation can no longer be performed in the open square. Craniotomy has extremely high requirements for the environment. The five contestants were taken to the largest hospital in Jiangwan City by car and were arranged to enter five operating rooms at the same time for surgery. At the same time, cameras had been set up in advance in each operating room for simultaneous live broadcast on the large screen in the square and on TV.

  Chu Nan washed her hands with disinfectant, put on the white coat and gloves provided by the hospital, and walked into the operating room with a group of nurses.

  Those young nurses couldn't help but steal glances at Chu Nan, who looked back at them and cleared his throat twice before saying seriously: "Don't look at me with that adoring gaze, I'm a very dignified handsome guy..."

  Lying on the operating table, I heard this young doctor flirting with a little girl next to me. My heart was pounding, damn it! I was sentenced to only 30 years in prison, not death penalty... Where did they find this kid?
