Chapter 177: Chapter 177

"Look down on traditional Chinese medicine?"

The Wanderer suddenly stood up from the judges’ seat, his face darkened, letting out a heavy cold snort.

"Traditional Chinese medicine has a much longer history than your Western medicine. If anything’s useless and trash, it’s your Western medicine that’s useless and trash!"

The Wanderer’s voice was powerful and echoed throughout the venue, causing students from both Clearwater and Imperia Universities to cheer loudly.

"The Wanderer is absolutely right!!!"

The people from Yale University turned livid with anger, but considering the Wanderer’s status, they had to swallow their rage.

Serena Everett’s gaze fell on the old man, and she gave him a thumbs-up—well done.

Hehehe, Serena praised him!

The Wanderer immediately raised his chin proudly and continued, "Professor Jenson, your student just insulted our traditional Chinese medicine, and you must apologize now!"

Before Jenson could say anything, Xavier and Casper couldn’t help but speak up.

"Why should we apologize? She can’t possibly wake the person up, so we’re not wrong!"

"Exactly, unless she manages to wake the person up, we won’t apologize!" This update ıs available on novel⸺fire.net

"If I wake her up, will you apologize?" Serena’s cold and refined voice sounded unhurried.

"That’s right, if you wake her up, we’ll apologize and admit that traditional Chinese medicine is useful!"

Xavier and Casper spoke arrogantly, clearly convinced that Serena couldn’t wake the person.

Serena’s extremely beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Fine, today I’ll let you see that traditional Chinese medicine is the strongest."

The girl’s tone was calm, yet it inexplicably inspired a sense of awe in people.

"Hahaha, that’s hilarious! The strongest? Come on, our Western medicine is the strongest!"

"Exactly, if she can’t wake her up later, the reputation of your traditional Chinese medicine will be ruined!"

"Hahaha, that’s really funny!"

Listening to their mocking words, Aidan Keaton couldn’t help but get angry, but before he could speak, Serena stopped him.

"Just wait and watch the show!"

The girl’s expression was calm, but Aidan inexplicably believed in her.

Serena turned her attention back to the unconscious Summer Miller, her lips pale, her eyes with dark circles, clearly poisoned.

The silver needles that were previously in her body had turned black upon removal.

Seeing this, Xavier and Casper couldn’t help but mock again.

"Oh, with just a few silver needles you can wake her up? Hahaha, that’s too funny..."

Before they finished speaking, Serena removed the silver needles from the vital acupoints of the unconscious Summer Miller.

Summer Miller let out a slight groan and then slowly opened her eyes, still pale but conscious.

Xavier and Casper’s arrogant expressions instantly froze, their eyes widened in disbelief.

This... how is this possible?!

The toxin was from their Yale University lab’s latest research, and she woke her up with a few silver needles?!

Aidan Keaton’s expression changed too; he knew her expertise in Western medicine was impressive, and he had worked hard in that field to close the gap between them, but he didn’t expect her traditional Chinese medicine to be so powerful as well!

Aidan Keaton’s eyes grew darker, feeling like he could never catch up to her...

Serena lifted her beautiful, upward-curving fox-like eyes, glaring coldly at the stunned Xavier and Casper.

"Now, fulfill your previous promise."

"That’s impossible! You couldn’t have woken her up..."

Xavier and Casper were still unconvinced, about to say more when Jenson interrupted them with a harsh expression, seemingly afraid of what they might say.

"Shut up, apologize now!"

Xavier and Casper reluctantly bowed their heads and apologized.

"We’re sorry...we shouldn’t have looked down on traditional Chinese medicine..."

The students from Clearwater and Imperia Universities watched their demoralized faces and felt vindicated, speaking up excitedly.

"Hahaha, Serena is amazing! Finally, justice is served for us!"

"Absolutely, Serena is awesome! Traditional Chinese medicine is the strongest!"

Listening to the cheers from the audience, Jenson, Xavier, and Casper’s faces turned even grim, with no way out of their frustration.

"Wha... what happened to me? Serena... why are you on stage?" Summer Miller asked in confusion.

Serena pressed her down as she tried to get up, "Don’t move, you were poisoned and unconscious, I just purged the toxin for you."

Summer obediently stayed still, her face paler, spoke in terror, "Poisoned? How could I be poisoned?"

"Someone poisoned you."

Serena’s tone was casual, but what she said shocked everyone present.

"Oh my god, someone actually poisoned a contestant during a match? Who could have done this?!"

"This is outrageous and audacious! The person responsible for the poisoning must be caught!"

Serena focused her gaze on her, "Think carefully about what you ate before going on stage."

Summer, looking weak, tried hard to recall and then pointed to the bottle of mineral water on the table, speaking softly, "Serena, before I went on stage, I only drank a little water, and I brought the unfinished bottle with me, thinking I might drink it during the competition..."

A poisoning incident in school was a major responsibility for Principal Reed.

Upon hearing this, he immediately spoke sternly, "Have someone test the water immediately. Find out what toxin it is, and rest assured that the school will find the person responsible and punish them severely!"

"No need to test it." Serena stood up, striding to the table with her long legs, "She was poisoned with the latest enzyme toxin from Yale University’s lab."

This statement immediately stirred a huge uproar.

"What? This is the latest toxin from Yale University’s lab? Doesn’t that mean someone from Yale University is the culprit?"

"Oh my god, they actually resorted to poisoning other contestants to win, this is too much!"

Hearing this, Professor Jenson’s face changed instantly, "What nonsense are you spouting? Even if there were some disagreements between our students and you earlier, you can’t slander us !"

Xavier and Casper immediately echoed his sentiments.

"That’s right, Serena bears a grudge against us for our earlier dispute, and now she’s slandering Yale University!!!"

Listening to their reverse accusations, Serena’s vividly red lips curled slightly, a deeper coldness in her gaze.

Seeing this, Professor Jenson immediately turned to Principal Reed, speaking coldly.

"Principal Reed, are you just going to let your Imperia University students slander our Yale University? Is this your hospitality at Imperia University?!"
