Chapter 781: The Heights of Admiration

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

The audience below waited silently for the result.
Mr. Hawthorne didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity and took the chance to continue asking Layla Woods, “Ms. Woods, can you tell me the name of this prescription?”
“Firstspring Draught,” Layla Woods smiled and replied.
She was exhausted.
Dragonbane Needle required great concentration; even the slightest mistake could cause a relapse in the patient’s heart condition.
With every needle, it felt like walking on thin ice, a single misstep leading to irreversible consequences.
Half an hour had passed, and she had exhausted all her strength.
“Firstspring Draught?” Mr. Hawthorne was puzzled. “I have never heard of this Ancient Formula before!”
Having studied medical books for decades, he had read almost every book related to medicine.
There was no mention of “Firstspring Draught” in any of them, not even a simple reference.
Layla Woods was too tired to speak, but seeing the expectant and puzzled faces in the audience, she opened her mouth and said, “Actually, this is my own creation.”
“My master and I have used it to treat several patients with urticaria, and it has been very effective.”
“After taking it, the patients can control their condition within an hour.”
Self-created?
Even Green Liniment Ghost Doctor was using it?
A genius!
An unparalleled genius!
Layla Woods could be called a deity!
At less than thirty years old, her skills were already surpassing her master!
No! She had already surpassed him in certain areas!
Such as dermatology!
Her future achievements would surely surpass even the heavens and the depths of the sea!
“Green Liniment Ghost Doctor has treated several patients with aquagenic urticaria, I know that. But I always thought it was his own medicine, never expected it to come from Ms. Woods!” Mr. Hawthorne exclaimed.
“From what I can see, in another ten years, Ms. Woods’ achievements will undoubtedly surpass the Divine Physician. Even if she doesn’t claim the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking of Medicine, she will only be second to Mr. Price! Please accept my admiration!”
“The Hall of Healing will shine even brighter under Ms. Woods’ leadership. There is no doubt about it! It is Ostrad’s fortune, the fortune of its people, and the fortune of the world!”
The crowd became more and more respectful, with some even standing up and wanting to kneel before Layla Woods, begging her to take them as disciples!
Lilia Hussain’s lips curled up in a smug smile as she glanced at Rose.
See that? A self-created prescription that actually worked! This was Layla Woods’ terrifying aspect!
Rose, what did your Flynn have to compare?
That remedy that could possibly kill people?
Today’s competition was like a shooting match between two people holding firearms.
Layla Woods held a sniper rifle and hit the target with one shot.
Flynn held a wooden gun that couldn’t even shoot bullets. How could he compete in shooting?
“Ms. Woods, if you don’t mind, I would like to stay in Niarak for a few days and learn from you,” Mr. Hawthorne said excitedly. “If possible, I would be honored to become your apprentice!”
The scene exploded with thunderous applause.
Everyone stood up!
What?!
Mr. Hawthorne wanted to become Layla Woods’ apprentice?
He was ranked tenth on the Heavenly Ranking of Medicine!
Mr. Hawthorne had been convinced by Layla Woods!
Willing to become her apprentice!
But thinking about it, it was not surprising. He has been trying to treat these two terminal illnesses for half a year without any results.
After Layla Woods performed acupuncture, the patient’s body felt comfortable again. Coupled with Firstspring Draught, the patient was bound to recover!
After all, even the her master used this method to cure urticaria patients!
It was settled!
Dragon Gate Group secured its position as a top-quality enterprise!
Wasn’t this a win-win situation?
Layla Woods gained fame while advancing her position in the medical field.
Lilia Hussain secured her position as a top-quality enterprise.
These two women were incredible!
Rose and Flynn were just clowns, completely inferior!
“Mr. Hawthorne is too modest,” Layla Woods shook her head and smiled. “It’s just a self-created prescription; there’s nothing worth praising about it. Unfortunately, my master and I spent ten years but still haven’t found a way to cure urticaria completely.”
“As a result, patients need lifelong medication.”
“It’s also regrettable that although I have improved on the Dragonbane Needle technique. It still falls short of my expectations.”
“In theory, Dragonbane Needle not only cools down the blood and removes impurities but also replenishes energy. Unfortunately, I haven’t achieved that yet.”
After Layla Woods finished speaking, there was thunderous silence in the room.
Layla Woods actually improved on Dragonbane Needle technique!
That was an ancient acupuncture method!
Yes! It was recorded in medical texts that in order to cool down blood with Dragonbane Needle technique, one must perform acupuncture for an hour.
But Layla Woods did it in just half an hour!
She truly made the Dragonbane Needle technique better!
My goodness! Was Ms. Woods even human?
She was like a deity!
The eyes of everyone in the audience were filled with madness, fervor, and adoration. Some young people were so excited that they knelt down tremblingly.
Because they had lost hope!
Before coming here, they still held onto a glimmer of hope of surpassing Layla Woods. But now that hope had been shattered!
These medical geniuses felt that even if Layla Woods stopped progressing in her medical skills, they wouldn’t be able to surpass her even if they lived for five hundred years!
Mr. Hawthorne’s eyes welled up with tears of excitement. Layla Woods was truly the shining light of Ostrad’s medical field!
Any praise given to her would not be enough!
One person elevated to godhood while another person was about to be trampled upon mercilessly.
Yes! It was Flynn they were talking about.
To pit him against Layla Woods was an insult not only to her but also to medicine itself!
Bringing some remedy over was no different from bringing feces into a temple!
Unable to hold back anymore, Mr. Hawthorne approached Flynn and asked coldly, “Young man, may I ask what is the name of your prescription?”
Flynn replied indifferently, “The medicine I prepared on-site doesn’t have a name.”
Self-prepared?
Pfft…
But this was a terminal illness!
Flynn preparing medicine himself was no different from an intern or an ordinary doctor who only knew how to treat minor illnesses coming up with their own treatment plan.
It was even less reliable than remedies. At least remedies might have some effect. What use could medicine prepared by an unknown person have?
Mr. Hawthorne shook his head without saying anything.
This young man had his head held high but lacked humility. He didn’t have any stability or humility at all.
Medicine could be toxic. Especially when dealing with severe heart disease patients, prescribing medication requires extreme caution.
Mr. Hawthorne thought Flynn must have some remedy or learned from some famous doctor and obtained some treatment prescriptions from them.
That way there would be at least some safety guarantee.
But he never expected this young man before him would prepare medicine himself.
Too confident.
The result of today’s competition was obvious.
Mimi, Flynn’s patient next to him, listened to everyone’s discussions and felt despair deep within her heart.
Today, she would probably return empty-handed once again.
This disease had tormented her for twenty years. She suffered day and night from unbearable pain. When would this end?
Tears welled up in Mimi’s eyes again and flowed down her face like a broken dam.
She sobbed aloud.
The whole audience was moved; although they didn’t like Flynn much, their compassion couldn’t help but arise when they saw this small girl crying so sadly.
But in an instant, everyone seemed struck by lightning as they froze in place.
“Flynn’s patient’s tears wetting her entire face… Why isn’t she experiencing unbearable pain like before? Her skin isn’t turning red either?!”
“Aquagenic urticaria causes excruciating pain upon contact with water-nausea, dizziness, and abdominal pain-and their faces turn red! But this girl looks normal?”
Silence filled the room!
