Chapter 778: Two Peas in a Pod

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2025-2-5

What a great thing!
Such a great thing!
Flynn had been worrying about where to find Fire Clay, and to his surprise, Layla Woods actually had some!
She took advantage of him twice and became a Great Grandmaster. It was only fair that he took advantage of her once, right?
With this thing, he could forge a greatsword from the iron meteorite!
Once it was forged, he’d use it to crush the Watson family!
What should he name it?
The Sword of Demise?
A bit edgy!
The Azure Abyss Sword?
That worked too, but it was still missing something.
Oh well, he would decide after it was forged successfully.
Huh? What were the crowd all discussing?
Were they all looking at him?
Why hadn’t Mr. Hawthorne announced the start of the competition yet?
After Kimber Doyle took away the pot made of Fire Clay, she glared at Flynn, which snapped him out of his daze.
“You shameless person, ogling me in front of everyone!” Kimber Doyle muttered under her breath and quickly left.
Flynn couldn’t help but be speechless. In front of Fire Clay, all the beauties in the world were no longer attractive to him.
Ogling her?
He was just looking at the pot!
“Um… what did Mr. Hawthorne say just now?” Flynn awkwardly laughed.
Everyone rolled their eyes.
He didn’t listen to anything that was being said. In this kind of situation, shouldn’t he be paying attention?
“Playing dumb won’t save you, and delaying time won’t change the outcome.” Lilia Hussain looked at Flynn on stage and sneered.
Flynn tried hard to remember and finally recalled Layla Woods’ words. He shook his head at Lilia and said, “You’re too useless. If Green Liniment Ghost Doctor heard what you just said, she would definitely slap herself.”
There was an uproar in the crowd.
“What? Dr. Woods is useless? Are you crazy?”
“Ms. Woods is the top five in the medical world. Who are you to mock her?”
“Are you provoking Dr. Woods with your trash talk and affecting her subsequent treatment? How childish!”
Everyone roared in anger. Layla Woods held a sacred position in their hearts.
Flynn was not allowed to offend her.
Many young people in the medical world worshiped Layla Woods.
She was their lifelong dream to surpass.
By disparaging Layla Woods, Flynn was insulting their faith.
Even Mr. Hawthorne’s expression changed slightly.
He was usually very amiable, but he also had principles. Young people should be humble.
Layla Woods was a senior to Flynn and deserved respect.
This was the attitude that young people should have.
It was important!
Mr. Hawthorne felt that Flynn was too arrogant.
He didn’t like it.
If he were his student, he would have to discipline Flynn on the spot.
“Oh, no, wait, I guess your master will probably use the same treatment method as you did.”
“You two are two peas in a pod,” Flynn said again in the face of everyone’s anger.
“Pfft-” One guest was drinking water and sprayed it out when they heard Flynn’s words.
“What… What’s wrong with this guy? Mocking Dr. Woods and Green Liniment Ghost Doctor at the same time?”
“There are so many celebrities here today, including many famous doctors. The Sharp’s Group invited this guy to disgust people. They’re embarrassing themselves!”
“Many powerful cultivators have benefited from Green Liniment Ghost Doctor’s medical skills. This guy openly insults this big shot. If this gets out, someone from the cultivation world will definitely come after him!”
Flynn’s words shocked everyone present.
That was Green Liniment Ghost Doctor!
His disciples were all outstanding individuals, who were respected wherever they went.
And Green Liniment Ghost Doctor himself was like a divine being, highly respected in the medical world. It was even said that he had cured a Greater Sovereign’s sword injury before.
By publicly humiliating him, was Flynn tired of living?
Scarlet and others were also stunned, thinking that this shouldn’t have happened and wasn’t necessary at all.
Travis Richardson also looked puzzled.
What was the Spencer family’s honored guest doing?
Couldn’t he just defeat his opponents with strength? Why play with words? It didn’t make sense!
“Matteo Kaur, do you see? This brat is here to cause trouble!”
“He can’t cure illnesses, so he wants to provoke Dr. Woods and stop the competition from continuing,” Paulina Johnston sneered, thinking that she had seen through Flynn’s intentions.
In her opinion, Flynn was trying to ruin the competition using this method.
Forcing Mr. Richardson to reschedule it for another day.
This way, the Sharp’s Group could change their competition representative again.
But what good would that do? Who could be stronger than Dr. Woods in medicine?
Could the Sharp’s Group even invite Layla Woods’ master? That would be a joke! The Sharp’s Group was struggling on its last legs!
Matteo Kaur shook his head as well, feeling doubtful in his heart.
Could it be that Flynn really had no confidence in treating this illness?
But Flynn appeared unfazed, provocatively looking at Layla Woods with a cold smile full of conspiracy.
There were some people in the audience who spoke up correctly-he was trying to provoke Layla Woods.
But not to affect her judgment on patients.
But for something else.
Sure enough, Layla Woods’ expression grew colder and darker as Flynn insulted her master.
When Flynn brought up Green Liniment Ghost Doctor, Layla Woods’ anger skyrocketed.
She had always been known for her composure and aloofness.
But she couldn’t tolerate others humiliating her master.
She deeply respected her master!
Moreover, this wasn’t the first time Flynn had insulted her master. He had done it once at the airport when he had just been released from prison.
“If you think there’s something wrong with my approach to treating illnesses, then tell me your opinion,” Layla Woods narrowed her eyes and said coldly.
Her killing intent emerged once again.
Ever since Flynn hired an assassin to kill her, she couldn’t control her temper whenever she faced this scoundrel.
Flynn was on Layla Woods’ blacklist.
“For such a minor illness, all you need is a prescription. Why are you doing acupuncture and making medicine? Isn’t that useless?” Flynn sneered coldly.
“Just a prescription? Are you kidding me? Urticaria has three types caused by blood stasis. To resolve it, acupuncture is needed to open up meridians and remove stasis. How can it work without acupuncture?”
“That’s right! Even Mr. Price needs to clear stasis when treating urticaria. Are you saying you’re better than them? Nonsense!”
“It seems that this person doesn’t understand medical skills at all. Letting him treat someone would be taking a risk!”
For treating urticaria with acupuncture to clear stasis and cool blood was a consensus in the medical world.
And yet, Flynn said that just taking medicine would suffice-wasn’t he joking?
Taking medicine might work too, but its effect would be minimal and wouldn’t reach the level of control required for complete recovery. Curing it completely would be nothing short of wishful thinking.
Mr. Hawthorne furrowed his brows as well. “Young man, there are established methods for treating urticaria in the medical world-acupuncture followed by medication.”
“Did you hear some folk remedies claiming to cure all diseases or something like that?”
These words reminded everyone present that what Mr. Hawthorne said made sense. Perhaps Flynn dared to participate in this competition because he relied on some kind of folk remedy or secret technique.
After all, there were countless folk remedies out there that claimed miraculous effects combined with skilled trickery that made them difficult to discern.
Flynn seemed confident because he must have discovered something extraordinary.
“The medical world?” Flynn smiled faintly as his voice suddenly rose several decibels while locking eyes with Layla Woods. “That’s your medical world!”
“Mr. Price? Green Liniment Ghost Doctor? They’re just ordinary people!”
“Layla Woods, now I ask you. Do you dare bet against me?”
Flynn’s voice exploded through the venue as silence fell upon everyone.
His imposing presence stunned everyone for a moment.
Their medical world?
Did he mean the pioneer of Heavenly Ranking of Medicine was just an ordinary person?
Was he insane?
Was he challenging the entire medical world?
Layla Woods was taken aback by Flynn’s intense gaze. Her eyebrows furrowed unconsciously as she blurted out, “Aren’t we already competing now? How else do you want to compete?”
“Increase the stakes?”
“Fine! I happen to have something I want!”
