The speeches and discussions took almost three hours before the chatter of the crowd gradually subsided, and Wu Qiubo returned to the podium.

"Next, we will have the challenge between the chairpersons. According to the rules, since we already have a representative with two challenge victories, this time there will be just one competition, which is between the representative of Beihai National and our Flame Dragon Kingdom representative!" Wu Qiubo solemnly announced.

"President Wu, I'm afraid this is the last time you'll be hosting!" Cangben Tailang spoke arrogantly as he stepped onto the podium with Goumao Jingshang and Gou Sheng Ichiro.

"So presumptuous!"

"They have the right to be, the Beihai National representative has secured third place twice in a row now, defeating the Flame Dragon Kingdom representative twice!"

"Yeah, it looks like the Flame Dragon Kingdom is in trouble this time!"

"If the Beihai National representative takes the chairperson's position, the Flame Dragon Medical Community will suffer a huge loss of face!"

"Indeed, they have always been at odds. Once that happens, the Beihai National Medical Community will certainly make a big deal out of it!"

Cangben Tailang's words sparked a fierce debate among the crowd.

"Mr. Jiang, let's go up too," Ye Yang whispered.

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen nodded, rose to his feet, and walked toward the podium with Ye Yang and the others.

"Hey! Those two young men are also going up on stage!"

"Yeah, are they also participating in the competition?"

"It seems so. Could they be the Flame Dragon Kingdom's trump card?!"

"Impossible, right? They must be apprentices, right?"

"Have you ever seen a master waiting at the door for apprentices?"

The appearance of Jiang Chen and Yan Hu on stage once more stirred up a buzz of excited discussion!

"I hope this time the people from Beihai National choose a more difficult disease. That way, we can witness Mr. Jiang's miraculous medical skills!" Pi Te's eyes glimmered as he watched Jiang Chen step onto the stage.

Mo Si looked at Pi Te in surprise and laughed, "Do you have that much confidence in Mr. Jiang's medical skills?"

"Yes! As long as the person isn't dead, Mr. Jiang can make them continue to live!" Pi Te firmly asserted.

Mo Si was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Chen on the podium, his eyes showing anticipation.

"Yo! President Wu, are you bringing in two young men to compete, planning to attribute a potential loss to them? Clever plan. This way, you can save some face for your Flame Dragon, great job!" Cangben Tailang said mockingly.

"Cangben Tailang, provocation isn't necessary. We don't have such dishonorable intentions as you do!"

Wu Qiubo replied coldly and turned his head to look at the people in the conference room: "According to the rules, once someone has two victories, they get to set the challenge, and the challenged party will respond. The teams of the other two chairpersons will carry out the diagnosis of the patient's condition. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No objections!"

"No objections!"

"Let's start already!"

"Yeah, let's get going!"

The crowd shouted out loudly.

"President Wu, you hear that? Everyone can hardly wait to see you lose!" Cangben Tailang taunted.

"Well then, let's move on to..."

Without acknowledging Cangben Tailang, Wu Qiubo was about to announce the start of the competition.

"Wait a minute!"

Beihai National Medical Association's President Goumao Jingshang suddenly interjected with a hint of mockery, "President Wu, have you forgotten something? The challengers have the right to choose the number of participants, don't they?"

Wu Qiubo was startled at first and then suddenly remembered that there indeed was such a rule. He hadn't forgotten, but since the establishment of the World Medical Association, there had never been a case where someone won two victories and then challenged the position of the chairman.

"Right, I forgot, there indeed is such a rule!" Wu Qiubo readily admitted his oversight.

"Did President Wu really forget, or were you deliberately not mentioning it because you're afraid to lose?" Cangben Tailang once again spoke with sarcasm.

Wu Qiubo likewise ignored Cangben Tailang for the second time and turned to look at Goumao Jingshang, "President Goumao, please choose the number of participants."

Goumao Jingshang gestured with his hand towards the three of them, his words laced with implied sarcasm: "We are very confident in ourselves, only the three of us came, so the three of us will participate!"

And once again being ignored, Cangben Tailang's face turned completely grim. He gave Wu Qiubo a vicious glare, muttering resentfully in his heart:

Damn it! To think you dare ignore me, Cangben Tailang! As long as that damned Jiang Chen doesn't mess up the competition, I'll make sure the Flame Dragon Kingdom delegation loses face properly!

Because, the patients were chosen by us!

"Right, Beihai National delegation really brought only the three of them!"

"Indeed, it seems they're really confident!"

"Look at the Flame Dragon Kingdom delegation, they sent up so many people right off the bat!"

"Are you stupid? This is the Flame Dragon Kingdom, isn't it normal for them to have a lot of people?"

Once again, murmurs filled the meeting room.

"Alright, then we will also send three people to meet the challenge!" Wu Qiubo responded and turned to look at Jiang Chen and the others.

"Mr. Jiang, let President Wu and Dean Chen join you in the battle," Ye Yang suggested.

"Yes, among us, aside from Mr. Jiang, it's President Wu and Dean Chen who have the strongest medical expertise, let them join you in the battle!" Wu Mingzhong nodded in agreement.

"No!"

Jiang Chen gently shook his head, "Since they chose three participants for such an important occasion, certainly the competitors must work well together to complete the treatment. I haven't worked with President Wu and Dean Chen before, and cooperation is bound to be awkward. In such a race against time, any hesitation can lead to defeat, so I suggest Elder Ye, Elder Wu, and I should join forces."

Everyone was taken aback, Ye Yang, and Wu Mingzhong turned to look at Wu Qiubo and Chen Guozhong.

Taking to the field at such an event, in others' view, would mean the strongest force from the delegation. Wu Qiubo's and Chen Guozhong's medical skills were indeed slightly superior to Ye Yang's pair, and they were concerned that the two would be unwilling to step aside.

"I agree with Mr. Jiang's opinion!"

Chen Guozhong answered without any hesitation, and turned to persuade Wu Qiubo, "President Wu, trust me, Mr. Jiang's feelings for Flame Dragon are no less than ours. He made this choice based entirely on winning the competition!"

"This... Alright, let them compete then!"

Wu Qiubo nodded slightly; he indeed had a moment of doubt whether Jiang Chen chose them just so Ye Yang and Wu Mingzhong could have a moment in the spotlight, as they were already acquainted. Without Chen Guozhong's persuasion, he might have hesitated.

Chen Guozhong, clad in military attire, turned to look at Jiang Chen and suddenly spoke earnestly, "Mr. Jiang, please! I believe that you will lead Ye Yang and the others to victory in this battle, just as you led the young men in the army!"

Then, he saluted Jiang Chen with a solemn military salute!

Jiang Chen was momentarily startled but instantly realized Chen Guozhong knew about his military status and returned a solemn military salute!

"Please, the three of you!" Wu Qiubo also earnestly requested.

"President, rest assured!"

"Brother, I will do my best!"

Ye Yang and the others nodded firmly.

This competition wasn't just about the few of them; it was about the honor of the Flame Dragon Medical Community and even the entire Flame Dragon Kingdom.
