Initially, he thought that the other party might be capable given his standing as a teacher. However, upon hearing those words, he immediately understood...
He was thinking too much into it!
If he didn't even know the steps to the physician examination, how could he possibly take it?
Suppressing his anger, the guard leader said, "Liu laoshi, since you don't even know the steps to the physician examination, I think... you should just forget about it..."
"Forget about it?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I don't really want to take the examination either. You just said that those who aren't physicians aren't allowed to buy those medicinal herbs! Alright, just tell me what the physician examination is about. There's no need for you to care about anything else! "
Everyone scratched their heads.
We don't want to care about you either... Just that, we feel that you are going a little too far by taking the physician examination despite knowing nothing at all.
However, since you insist on doing so and wish to embarrass yourself, we won't do anything about it...
Harrumphing coldly, the guard leader's displeasure deepened. "The physician examination is no different from the other occupations. It is a test of theory and practical experience... There are people in charge of the Physician Hall. As long as you enter, someone will bring you in..."
But before he could finish his words, the young man before him had already walked into the Physician Hall.
"Physician Hu, the person in charge of the Physician Hall, hates those who try their luck without knowing anything. That fellow is probably going to be in for it!"
"Previously, I thought that as a teacher of the academy, he would have to care about his image. But from the looks of it now, I was thinking too much... If he doesn't even know the steps to the physician examination, how could he possibly pass the examination?"
"Indeed. If the physician examination is that easy, there shouldn't be less than thirty physicians in the entire capital!"
...
Seeing how this fellow entered the Physician Hall without knowing anything at all, everyone shook their heads in disappointment.
Initially, the guard leader thought that the other party wouldn't fool around. However, upon seeing that the other party was truly ignorant, he couldn't help but look down on him.
It was said that teachers of the academy were composed, but after seeing this, he realized that the heck they were composed!
Had there ever been anyone who dared to take the physician examination despite knowing nothing at all?
"Alright, Yarou xiaojie, we'll continue patrolling the area. You should stay here..."
After a moment of contemplation, the guard leader clasped his fist and was about to leave when the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled. Following which, a resounding boom echoed.
Dong!
As if a bell had rung, the ground trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know either. The sound seems to be coming from the Physician Hall!"
"Physician Hall?"
"It's really..."
...
Hearing the voice, the people who were queuing up to see the doctor were in an uproar.
In contrast to the bewilderment of the patient, the guard leader's body trembled, and his face paled. He nearly fainted on the spot, "That fellow... Could he have challenged the Wall of Dilemma?"
"Wall of Dilemma? What's that? "
Ya Rou looked over in confusion.
She was only a receptionist at the front desk. Although she knew some of the rules of the examination, she didn't know much about the real examination.
"The Wall of Dilemma … It's a place where the guild records all of the incurable illnesses and illnesses … It records all of the incurable illnesses that the guild has encountered over the past hundred years!" the guard replied with a tearful expression.
"A record of illnesses that the Guild has been unable to solve for the past hundred years? Even a three-star doctor like Mu Hong couldn't treat him? "
Ya Rou was stunned.
In this branch of the Medical Apothecary Guild, the one with the strongest medical skills was Mu Hong, a Three Star Physician!
If the place that the other party spoke of really recorded all kinds of incurable illnesses, wouldn't that mean that even Physician Mu Hong was unable to solve them?
"Yes …"
The guard leader nodded. "He wasn't the only one who was unable to solve them. For the past hundred years, the physicians of our guild have been unable to solve them as well. That's why it's called the Wall of Dilemma..."
"It's just a place to record all kinds of incurable illnesses. So what if he barged in? There's no need to be so nervous!"
Ya Rou was perplexed.
She thought that it was some big deal. Wasn't it just a place to record all kinds of incurable illnesses?
At the very most, she could just leave if she couldn't understand it. As the guard leader, why would he be so nervous that his entire body was trembling?
She wasn't the only one who was bewildered. The other guards also looked at him in bewilderment.
Their leader had always been a composed person. Even though he was infuriated by the other party's arrogance, he didn't flare up at all. Instead, he patiently guided the other party on how to conduct the examination.
Why would such a composed person become so nervous upon hearing that the other party had barged into the Wall of Dilemma?
"You all don't know the significance of this place..."
Seeing the nonchalant expressions of the crowd, the guard leader shook his head.
"Significance?"
"That's right! The Wall of Dilemma is a place that... only the guild leaders of the previous generations are qualified to challenge. Entering the Wall of Dilemma means that one is challenging the guild leader to succeed his position! "
The guard leader explained with pale lips.
"Challenging the guild leader... to succeed his position?"
Everyone felt their vision turning dark.
What was going on?
Why would challenging the Wall of Dilemma mean that one is challenging the guild leader?
"The incurable illnesses recorded on the Wall of Dilemma are all problems that all of the physicians in the guild are unable to solve over time."
Seeing the doubt in everyone's eyes, the guard leader smiled bitterly. "In order to become the guild leader, one's medical skills have to surpass that of the others. Only then can one wield unparalleled authority!"
Everyone nodded.
Physicians were just like other occupations. If one wished to rule over others, one had to possess exceptional skills to surpass the others.
"Unlike martial arts, medical skills aren't something that can be quantified. If you can treat a patient, so can I. Even if the duration of the treatment is different, there's no way to determine whose medical skills are better! After all, treating the illness is just treating the illness. As for how the patient's body is nourished and whether there are any hidden ailments left behind... those are all questions. For example, even if you were to treat the same illness in two days, you might only be treating the symptoms, and the illness might recur very soon. On the other hand, the other party might only be treating the root of the illness after a month... "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In a duel, a win was a win, and a loss was a loss. This was something that could be seen with a single glance. In the Way of Medicine, some specialize in a particular illness while others specialize in another. Even if one was able to treat the illness quickly, it didn't necessarily mean that the effect would be better.
This was especially so in a situation where the medical skills of both parties were on par.
"Since it's so difficult to determine, how can one prove that one's medical skills are better than others? It's this Wall of Dilemma! "
The guard leader continued, "The incurable illnesses recorded on the Wall of Dilemma are all recorded. Only those who wish to become the guild leader's physician are qualified to enter the Wall of Dilemma. The more problems one solves, the greater one's medical skills will be, and the more trust one will have in the guild! If one is unable to solve even a single illness, it's equivalent to challenging the authority of the guild leader, and one will be punished! "
"This..."
Everyone blinked their eyes in realization.
It was no wonder why he was so nervous.
This fellow dared to barge into the Wall of Dilemma without knowing anything. This was no different from challenging the guild leader.
And as the 'wise ones' who told them how to conduct the examination, they might be implicated as well.
"Since it's an incurable illness and no one in the guild is able to solve it, even if one were to answer wrongly... it's impossible to tell!"
After a moment of silence, Ya Rou couldn't help but comment.
They had already said that it was an incurable illness. If one were to answer wrongly, no one would be able to tell!
As long as this fellow answered wrongly, no one would be able to tell. Perhaps, he might be able to get away with it.
"If it were that simple, it would be much easier..."
The guard leader smiled bitterly. "The Wall of Dilemma is a unique Spirit tool that can communicate with the headquarter. Once someone answers, a 4-star or even 5-star physician will examine it personally. If the answer is correct, the Wall of Dilemma will release an orange glow. If the answer is wrong, it will release a red glow!"
"Communicate with the headquarter?"
"Release a red glow?"
Everyone was stunned.
If that was the case, it would be impossible for them to lie. Given how ignorant that Liu laoshi was, he would probably release a red glow as soon as he entered the Wall of Dilemma. After that... there would be no more after that!
"Then, that chime earlier was..."
Ya Rou couldn't help but ask.
"That chime earlier is the trigger for the Wall of Dilemma. It's equivalent to informing the entire Physician Guild that someone is challenging the guild leader..." At this point, the guard leader suddenly paused and pointed forward. "We're doomed..."
Everyone followed his finger and their mouths twitched.
The chime earlier had alarmed everyone in the Physician Guild, and more than a dozen of them had rushed over.
"Guild Leader Mu Hong, 3-star Physician Du Rao, Physician Cheng Feng..."
Every time she called out a name, Ya Rou's eyebrows would twitch.
These people represented the upper echelons of the Physician Guild. In other words, the chime earlier had summoned all of the upper echelons of the Physician Guild!
The guild leader had come personally, and someone was challenging his position... It was obvious how he would react.
"What happened?"
As expected, it didn't take long for Guild Leader Mu Hong to arrive at the entrance of the Physician Guild and wave his hand.
"Reporting to the guild leader, someone has barged into the Physician Guild, and it seems like he wants to challenge the... Wall of Dilemma!" An apprentice who had treated the patient earlier walked over.
He didn't manage to see the situation clearly. It was only after hearing the chime and hearing the discussions in the surroundings that he realized what was going on.
"Challenge the Wall of Dilemma?"
Guild Leader Mu Hong's eyebrows twitched.
That was a challenge to his position!
"Who is it?"
The apprentice hesitated for a moment before replying. "I... didn't manage to see the situation clearly either, but the person walked in from that direction. The receptionist should know about it!"
"Receptionist? Call those people over! "
Guild Leader Mu Hong glanced over. Ya Rou, the guard leader, and the others could only walk over with teary faces.
"Speak, what happened? Who barged in? "The guild leader commanded authoritatively.
"Reporting to the guild leader, a teacher surnamed Liu from Tianwu Academy barged in..."
The guard leader trembled as he reported.
"A teacher surnamed Liu?"
Guild Leader Mu Hong blinked his eyes. "Why would a teacher barge in?"
"He said that he wanted to take the physician examination, so we told him to come to the Physician Guild to take the examination... We have no idea how he ended up on the Wall of Dilemma..."
The guard leader's lips quivered.
"Physician examination? What star is he? To challenge the Wall of Dilemma, could he be a 3-star? That can't be... "
Guild Leader Mu Hong couldn't help but exclaim. Frowning, he fell into deep thought.
Since the other party dared to challenge the Wall of Dilemma, he should at least be a 3-star physician... When did such a formidable physician appear in Tianwu Academy?
"3-star?" The guard leader's vision darkened. "Reporting to the guild leader... He hasn't taken the examination yet, so he isn't an official physician!"
"Not an official physician? Yet, he dares to challenge me? "Guild Leader Mu Hong's face darkened." Could it be that his medical skills are incredible? "
"Incredible..." The guard leader cried. "Perhaps... perhaps... he doesn't know anything about medicine!"
(Repeat? Hehe, how could Laoya make such a low-level mistake? You didn't expect such a result, did you? Wahaha, monthly votes, recommendation votes! Also, a reminder, the book review section will be starting tomorrow! Cheng has already promised me that he'll get first place. Do you think that you can beat him? Also, I recommend the new book of the number one hunk on Qidian, the Ugly God, as well as the ghost hunting farmer.
