I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 205 Shock

At some unknown time, several large gongs were set up around the twenty arenas.

At Xu Yinan's signal, someone took a big hammer and started hitting the big gong hard.

A loud "bang" instantly echoed throughout the square.

The doctor, who was originally concentrating on giving acupuncture, was frightened by the sudden noise, and the silver needle in his hand either went off the mark or started bleeding.

Even the doctors in the competition looked up in astonishment and looked towards the source of the sound.

Only Shi Tianyun, Bai Yan, Hua Yue, Wu Shang and Zhong Lin seemed to have been prepared and kept their minds focused, so they did not give any injections when the gong sounded.

When the onlookers saw the examiner doing this in the first elimination round, they thought it was a very bad taste and burst into laughter. They suddenly felt that this medical skills competition had become much more interesting.

"This medical competition is really fun, to the point of doing something like this."

"Yes, then those doctors who are worried will be in trouble."

"I estimate that more than a dozen people will get the acupuncture points wrong."

The discussions of the onlookers surged in the square like a tide, further affecting the doctors who were being evaluated. The originally serious medical competition became lively because of the sudden sound of the gong.

The doctors who were disturbed by the sound of the gong had different expressions on their faces.

Some doctors looked embarrassed and quickly adjusted their mindset, trying to get back into the game. Some even kept a little of their attention away, observing the surroundings at any time to see if anything unexpected would happen.

Some doctors seemed a little angry, as if they were dissatisfied with the examiner's prank.

Some doctors even looked terrified, as if they were frightened by the sound of the gong and could no longer concentrate on the competition.

However, for Shi Tianyun, Bai Yan, Hua Yue, Wu Shang and Zhong Lin, the sound of the gong did not have much impact on them. They still maintained a calm mentality and focused on their own games.

He just kept his mind focused and observed the situation around him, so his acupuncture speed inevitably slowed down.

Xu Yinan looked at the situation on the field, with a smug smile on his face. The reason why he arranged this gong sound was to test the psychological quality of the contestants.

He knew that although medical skills were important, an excellent doctor needed to have a tenacious character and the courage to remain calm in the face of danger. Only in this way could they go further on the medical path in the future and become true medical masters.

The sound of the gong was part of his careful planning. In order to make this medical competition more eye-catching and less boring for the people, he had to create some eye-catching effects.

However, only Xu Qingyi was not affected by the sound of the gong. She held the silver needles one after another and inserted them into the patient's acupuncture points. Her movements were smooth and steady, and the silver needles were as light as drizzle.

The speed was getting faster and faster, and the instinct of acupuncture seemed to have been integrated into her blood. Every time the needle was placed, it was accurate, and every time the needle was lifted, it was just right. Her strength was fully demonstrated.

Xu Qingyi seemed to be in a world without people. There were only acupuncture points and silver needles in her mind, and everything else became unimportant.

"Look, Xu Qingyi is not affected by the gong at all." The people watching the game were shocked by Xu Qingyi's speed and smoothness. Her technique was so pleasing to the eyes, like a butterfly flying through flowers. They marveled at her skills, and even more at her character that was not affected by the outside world.

“Have you noticed that Xu Qingyi’s acupuncture is very smooth and pleasing to the eye. The way she holds the silver needles is full of unique charm, as if she holds more than just silver needles, like..., like..." The onlookers were unable to describe it in words and were at a loss for words for a long time.

"It's like having the power to decide life and death."

"Yes, yes, yes, it is the one who controls life and death."

The people around were fascinated by what was happening. Even those who usually had no interest in medicine couldn't help but come forward.

Xu Yinan looked at Xu Qingyi's outstanding performance with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He originally thought that the sound of the gong would disrupt everyone's rhythm and make them fall into chaos, but he didn't expect Xu Qingyi to be so calm and unaffected.

He immediately thought that this girl not only had superb medical skills, but also had a strong character. She was truly a rare talent. He was also glad that he had returned the indentures to them before, allowing them to accept the favor from the clinic.

He couldn't help but think of his senior brother's experiences when he was young. At that time, his senior brother seemed to have faced various challenges and difficulties, but it was precisely with his indomitable character and courage to remain calm in the face of danger that he stepped up to his current position step by step.

At Xu Yinan's signal, the sound of the gong was even louder and harsher this time, as if it was going to shake the entire arena.

Everyone else couldn't help but stop their acupuncture movements, and the people watching the competition felt nervous when they heard the sound of the gong. However, Xu Qingyi seemed not to hear it. Her movements were still smooth and steady, and she was not affected at all.

The imperial physician who was originally receiving acupuncture from Xu Qingyi was also carefully feeling Xu Qingyi's acupuncture techniques, trying to sense whether she had inserted the needles into the wrong acupoints, or whether she had inserted the needles in the wrong places, or whether she had inserted the needles too deep or not.

But after a while, the imperial physician didn't seem to notice anything, either pain or the feeling of the silver needle piercing his body. He even thought that Xu Qingyi had not started acupuncture on him yet.

As the gong sounded again and again, he saw from the corner of his eye that the number of rolled-up silver needles was decreasing, and he felt horrified.

I never expected that Xu Qingyi's acupuncture skills were so amazing. After she gave me acupuncture, not only could I not feel the soreness or swelling, I couldn't even feel the feeling of the silver needle entering my body.

This acupuncture technique is extremely powerful.

Xu Qingyi was not moved by the shock of the imperial physician. She continued to perform acupuncture with great concentration, and the silver needle in her hand shuttled through the imperial physician's body like a dragon. Her technique was fast and accurate, and every time she inserted the needle, it seemed that she had thought it through carefully, without any hesitation.

As the imperial physician who was giving acupuncture to Xu Qingyi, he also received Xu Yi's rare signal. Just when Xu Qingyi was about to insert acupuncture into the next acupuncture point, his body shook violently, thinking that Xu Qingyi had missed the acupuncture point or missed the target.

Xu Qingyi remained unmoved by the imperial physician's deliberate provocation. The silver needle in her hand, which was about to go off track, returned to the right track as the imperial physician's shaking body turned, and was steadily inserted into the acupuncture point.

The imperial physician didn't feel anything on his body, and he knew that he had failed. His face froze, but he could do nothing.
