Chapter 297: Another Outrageous Statement

Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Another Outrageous Statement

"A woman should be a little more reserved!" Wang Chenning gave Yang Xiaofu a light pinch. After she shivered instinctively, he said with a grin, "Otherwise, you’ll seem cheap, you know?"

"You’re awful! You’re going to keep me up all night!" Yang Xiaofu stomped her foot, her face flushing red, then gave him a bewitching look. "Brother Ning, you’re the most awful, awful person in the whole world!"

If she weren’t afraid of Wu Jingyi coming out, Yang Xiaofu definitely wouldn’t have let it go so easily.

By the time Wu Jingyi came out of the bathroom, Yang Xiaofu had already composed herself.

Wu Jingyi gave Yang Xiaofu a suspicious look, but after seeing nothing out of the ordinary, she just said goodnight to Wang Chenning and left.

Yang Xiaofu left Wang Chenning’s room with her. As they walked, they grumbled a little about Wang Chenning, saying that the guy had no idea how to be considerate to women, forcing them to work so late without getting more people to help.

Finally, they even vented a bit in the traditional medicine exchange group chat, complaining that Wang Chenning had press-ganged them into preparing materials at the last minute. They were dead tired and demanded that Wang Chenning make it up to them by treating them to a fancy dinner someday.

Wang Chenning replied in the group: "When we get back to Yanjing, I’ll treat everyone to a huge feast. No one is allowed to skip it!"

Wang Chenning’s message immediately caused an uproar of excitement, followed by dozens of "Thanks, boss!" messages flooding the chat.

The night passed without incident. The next morning, Wang Chenning saw a message from Yang Xiaofu on his phone.

Yang Xiaofu had forwarded a breaking news story. Local media was reporting a major homicide case in a high-end villa district. The bodyguards of a certain important figure had all been killed, and the important figure themselves was missing. The local public security bureau had dispatched a large number of officers to investigate.

After reading the news report, Wang Chenning replied with a single sentence: "Why do you care about this stuff?"

"So much for Tokyo’s great security!" Yang Xiaofu added a few cheeky emojis after her message, then followed up with: "Looks like the perpetrator is no ordinary person, being able to come and go without a trace."

Wang Chenning ignored her insinuation and replied directly: "Your sister said her flight gets into Tokyo at 9:30 AM. Are you going to pick her up or not?"

"Do I have a choice?" Yang Xiaofu conveyed her dissatisfaction with a string of eye-roll emojis. "Is she so bored she has nothing better to do? What’s she running off to Tokyo for now?"

Wang Chenning: "Maybe she heard Tokyo is really hot right now!"

"Perv!" Yang Xiaofu again added a string of eye-roll emojis. "I bet your computer is full of ’study materials.’ Why don’t we trade someday? I’ve got the Tokyo Hot series."

"Trade what? ’Study materials,’ or should we establish a circulatory channel to exchange cells and electrolyte solutions?"

"Even when you’re being a perv, you doctors are so professional. I’m impressed." After that message, Yang Xiaofu sent a photo of herself in her underwear, then asked, "Brother Ning, when are you going to help me ’tune up’ my body again? You’re not going to make me wait until we’re back home, are you?"

Wang Chenning: "How about tonight? We can have your sister supervise."

"No way!"

Wang Chenning stopped replying to Yang Xiaofu and went to wash up.

The exchange group’s morning schedule included an academic exchange with Japan, and Wang Chenning was giving a lecture.

Because of the stir Wang Chenning had caused in Seoul, combined with Tian Zhongxin’s respectful treatment and high opinion of him, as well as the news circulating online, no one in Japan’s traditional medicine community dared to underestimate him.

After his lecture was announced, countless people applied to attend.

In the end, the organizers arranged for an auditorium that could hold over five hundred people for Wang Chenning’s use.

Wu Jingyi had modified the PowerPoint for Wang Chenning’s lecture based on his Seoul presentation, adding new technical points he provided. At his request, she had also added Japanese annotations in some places.

A reporter from the CCTV Tokyo bureau was also present, preparing to live-stream Wang Chenning’s lecture.

After the opening remarks from the heads of both parties, Wang Chenning walked onto the stage.

Acknowledging the audience’s applause, Wang Chenning held the microphone and spoke to the assembled guests with a smile:

"I know more than a few people are curious about how someone as young as me can possess such exquisite medical skills, many of which are long-lost techniques."

"It’s a difficult question to answer, really. It’s like how during the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing was enfeoffed as the Champion Marquis at eighteen and ascended to the highest military position of Grand Commandant at twenty-two. Or how Li Shimin conquered half the empire for the Great Tang before he was twenty-five and became emperor at twenty-nine. This world is full of miracles. There will always be people whose achievements defy common sense."

"I hope that in the future, people will stop getting hung up on my age and instead consider this: if my medical skills are already this good while I’m so young, then given more time, might I be able to lead the next evolution in medicine? Shouldn’t the real curiosity be about what kind of achievements I’ll be capable of when I’m older?"

Wang Chenning’s half-joking opening remarks still earned him a great deal of applause.

After thanking the audience, Wang Chenning began his lecture for the day.

Unlike his previous lectures, Wang Chenning began by explaining the principles behind why his Acupuncture Skill was so effective.

He told everyone that the most fundamental principle of his acupuncture was to mobilize the body’s strongest immune response to eliminate the source of the disease, while simultaneously stimulating the body’s greatest potential.

He used an analogy: when bacteria or viruses invade, the body dispatches a certain number of white blood cells and antibody-like substances to the site of infection. Through acupuncture, however, he could mobilize tens or even hundreds of times the number the body would send on its own. The invaders could then be wiped out in an instant. Even if they weren’t completely cleared, the remaining bacteria or viruses wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble and would eventually be eliminated.

If a blood vessel is blocked by a thrombus, mobilizing a staggering number of thrombolytic factors to the lesion site can quickly clear the clot and restore circulation.

In a case like Yang Liansheng’s cerebral hemorrhage, after using acupuncture to quickly stop the bleeding, one could then stimulate cellular and tissue absorption. By eliminating the leaked blood before the hemorrhage could affect brain cell function, the patient could recover quickly without any brain damage.

Wang Chenning didn’t explain the treatment principles for every single disease, but most of the audience were medical experts. They could easily extrapolate the treatment methods for other illnesses from his examples.

They also knew that the difficulty in Wang Chenning’s field of research wasn’t understanding the reasoning, but rather finding the means to stimulate the body’s immune function into an optimal stress response, guide that optimal immune defense and clearing capability to the lesion, and restore the body to a normal state as quickly as possible.

In the next part of his lecture, Wang Chenning answered their questions. He used numerous case studies to detail the treatment process, but in the end, he told them with regret that out of a hundred apprentices, there might not be even one who could master the Qi Vortex Needle and guide that "qi" to resolve a lesion.

Most people could only learn the basics and would be unable to master the most essential parts of the needle technique to become a true "divine doctor."

However, he also told them that even if they didn’t master all the essential content, just capturing the essence of it would still improve their medical skills exponentially.

Finally, he told everyone one more thing with grave sincerity: "If you figure out this method, you will realize that everything you learned before was complete trash!"

Wang Chenning’s words immediately caused a massive uproar.
