Chapter 74, awesome!

  Fang Junzhou looked at Chu Nan, who was full of confidence, and thought to himself: "Wanting to distinguish the composition of medicine through visual and taste senses is impossible without decades of experience. He's just pretending to be confident in order to make others think they can't tell either, so that when the time comes, he'll at least be able to hold his own."

  Fang Junzhou secretly sneered, and after everyone except him and Chu Nan started acting, Fang Junzhou did not move the tools placed by the staff, but opened the medicine box he carried with him, took out several bottles of colorful poisonous liquids, and then took out a test tube. He carefully placed the pills on the table, drew in a small amount of toxic liquid from one of the bottles with the test tube, and gently dripped it onto the pill. The color and taste of the pill changed instantly at an extremely fast speed.

  This change in flavor caused almost all the other examinees to look at Fang Junzhou, on one hand marveling at his unusual methods, and on the other secretly cursing him, because this kind of qualitative change in flavor was very likely to affect the analysis and judgment of the other examinees.

  The judges' table also burst into a chorus of amazement, with one judge asking in surprise: "What method is Fang Junzhou using to analyze the composition of the medicine?"

  An experienced judge said: "It seems that it should be based on the principle of mutual restraint of drugs... Specifically, I don't understand."

  Chen Tianling also shook his head, while Zhang Shoucai sighed and said: "Those should be poisonous, using poison to decompose medicine, I estimate that only those who have a certain understanding and level in the use of poison can do this. Unexpectedly, Fang Junzhou is actually a dark horse, it seems that he will win this round."

  Fang Junzhou, on the one hand, used toxic liquids to decompose and analyze the drugs, analyzing each component of the drugs one by one. On the other hand, he also influenced others' judgment through the change in smell, making his skills superior while causing others to be at a loss for what to do next, basically winning this round.

  A candidate slammed his palm heavily on the table and blurted out in frustration: "Damn it!"

  Other candidates also had many hanging heads, basically giving up on this level. After Zhang Xiao and Francis barely judged one or two kinds of medicinal ingredients, they also gave up their plan to continue analyzing. Almost everyone focused their attention on Fang Junzhou, and in front of the TV, almost all the audience was holding their breath watching Fang Junzhou. Basically, everyone knew that except for this cunning Fang Junzhou, it would be a very good result if others could get a few points.

  Fang Junzhou was fully focused on the mutual rejection and fusion of toxins and medicines at this moment, occasionally writing down each component on paper and pen. Some candidates saw how Fang Junzhou analyzed the composition of medicines, and they were all admired in their hearts. This looks simple, but it actually requires extremely high attainments in both poison and medicine to be able to do so.

  Zheng Guangran let out a sigh of relief on the viewing platform, snorted coldly and said: "Fang Junzhou is indeed the person arranged by Eighth Master, the written test just now was only a comparison of who is more book-smart, now it seems that Fang Junzhou has the upper hand, Chu Nan is bound to lose. Daughter, you can finally win this round."

  Zheng Miaomiao's face broke into a brilliant smile, and seeing Chu Nan who hadn't even moved his tools from start to finish, she cooed: "I thought he was quite something at first, but it seems like he can't take a single blow."

  On the other side of Ling Luo Creek, Luo Lie clenched his fists tightly and anxiously said: "Why isn't Big Brother Chu making a move? Is Big Brother Chu going to lose this round?"

  Zero Creek also shook his head and remained silent. The others also closed their mouths, unsure of what to say next.

  Hua Linglong looked at the situation in the arena and sighed, "This competition is really too abnormal. Although I don't understand medicine, there are a few people who can analyze the composition of a single grain of medicine using only these primitive tools."

  Wu Pei also said: "I think it's a bit abnormal too, but this Fang Junzhou... if he wins, it'll be troublesome."

  Hua Linglong furrowed her brow upon hearing this, she had finally managed to form an alliance with Chu Nan, and if he were to lose the competition and leave Jiangwan City as per their agreement, everything would be for naught. Of course, Hua Linglong also had some personal feelings at play, so she especially didn't want Chu Nan to lose the competition and leave.

  Hua Linglong thought for half a day, suddenly greeted Zheng Miaomiao and quietly left the audience seat, walked to an empty place, dialed a phone number. On the other end of the line was a silly voice: "Hello, Boss Hua, what's your order?"

  Hua Linglong gazed at the situation in the arena, her voice cold and detached: "Go to the medical competition venue and pay attention to a contestant named Fang Junzhou. Be prepared to listen to my orders at any time. If necessary, sneak into the contestants' rest area and take out Fang Junzhou!"

  "That voice laughed and said: 'Alright, Hua Jie, I'll be right there. I'll arrive in ten minutes.'"

  Hua Lingrong hung up the phone and sat back beside Wu Pei, continuing to watch the situation in the field.

  As time passed by, Fang Junzhou also stopped his movements. The staff then came forward and continued to administer the second pill...

  The entire exam time was over, Fang Junzhou proceeded in an orderly manner to the end, while others generally analyzed a few kinds of medicinal ingredients with difficulty through tools and then stopped, some candidates even gave up this round of testing directly. Chu Nan also belonged to the kind that gave up, everyone saw Chu Nan take the medicine pill, without even analyzing it, he directly wrote the answer on the test paper, at a glance, you could tell that he was well-prepared to give up.

  However, this idea is also correct. In this round, strive to retain a few points of energy and go all out in the final round, maybe there will still be hope for the top five.

  After all the test papers were collected, Fang Junzhou put away his medicine box and turned back to look at Chu Nan with a cold smile: "How about it? You directly gave up this round? I think you'd better quit the exam altogether. The bet we made just now, I can also cancel it generously."

  Chu Nan leaned back in his chair, propped up his legs and smiled: "Who loses or wins is not certain yet. I just made so many guesses, what if some of them are correct? Maybe I can still win a few points from you!"

  Fang Junzhou listened and couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even the other examinees thought that Chu Nan was talking nonsense. Not to mention competing with Fang Junzhou, it's likely that Chu Nan wouldn't be able to surpass even the others who passed this round.

  Zhang Xiaoxiao no longer paid attention to Chu Nan, and quietly snorted in disdain. Originally, she thought that Chu Nan was a talented and arrogant person, so at first, she didn't bother to acknowledge him with the whistling sound. But it turned out that he was just a useless waste of space after all. Although they were tied for third place in the first round of written exams with Fang Junzhou, now it seemed that Chu Nan was just a bookworm who had read some books but lacked actual experience.

  After the test papers were handed in, they were first given to Zhang Shoucai. Zhang Shoucai took a look at the first test paper and a smile appeared on his face. He muttered to himself: "Look, this Zhang Jingran is indeed a talented person. These five medicinal pills involve a total of 35 components, and he can analyze 15 components in total, which is already very rare."

  Chen Tianling took the test paper from Zhang Jingran, looked at it and smiled: "Indeed a rare talent, let alone him, if we put these old guys in our place, I'm afraid we can't do better than him."

  Zhang Shoucai smiled and said, "So this kind of talent, I must take him as my apprentice, hehe. Let me continue to look, Tian Ling, this test paper is your daughter's, let me see how it is."

  Chen Tianling passed Zhang Jingran's test paper to others, then went over to look at Chen Xiaoxiao's test paper together. After carefully reading it, a smile appeared on his face. Zhang Shoucai also smiled and said: "Little Chen, your daughter is not ordinary, she actually identified one more component than Zhang Jingran, amazing!"

  Others one by one congratulated Chen Tianling, Chen Tianling smiled with joy, and humbly declined repeatedly.

  Zhang Shoucai handed Chen Xiaoxiao's test paper to Chen Tianling, and then continued to flip through it. When he saw Francis' test paper, he exclaimed in admiration. Although Francis had only identified more than a dozen components, he was currently the third best score after Zhang Jingran and Chen Xiaoxiao.

  When they saw Fang Junzhou's name, not only Zhang Shoucai, but also several judges around him immediately gathered around. After all, Fang Junzhou's performance just now was really surprising, and they all wanted to see if Fang Junzhou was just a pretty face or truly talented, and how many ingredients he had judged correctly.

  After reading Fang Junzhou's test paper from beginning to end, a group of judges began to stare at each other in amazement. Zhang Shoucai shook his head and sighed: "It's really... too rare... If Fang Junzhou can still perform at this level in the next competition, he will probably be our biggest dark horse in Jiangwan City this time, and may even achieve the best result for Jiangwan City."

  Zhang Shoucai took a glance at Chen Tianling and said, "Little Chen, your daughter has already shown enough, but it seems that Fang Junzhou is indeed a rare talent!"

  Chen Tianling also couldn't help but exclaim: "Thirty-five components, and he actually judged twenty-five of them correctly... This... Alas, I reckon even if we spent a whole day on it, we wouldn't be able to judge as accurately. He's truly a rare talent! Even if my daughter lost to him this time, she can still hold her head high in defeat. This is a blessing for the entire Jiangwan City medical community!"

  "Xiao Chen, I'm delighted you could think of this," Zhang Shoucai exclaimed.

  Zhang Shoucai handed Fang Junzhou's test paper to the other judges, and they began to look at it. As for Chu Nan's last test paper, it was no longer important to them. At least in this second round, Fang Junzhou's first place score was unshakeable and well-deserved.

  Zhang Shoucai only casually glanced at Chu Nan's test paper, but after scanning two lines, his expression involuntarily shook, and then he slapped the table almost standing up, with a word that was extremely inconsistent with his identity and age: "Damn!"
