Chapter 580
“To ensure a fair fight and make you acknowledge that Solean Medicine is just an offshoot of Goryeon
Medicine, I will leave the preparation of the herbs to Herbal Biotech.”
Jonathan was seld-assured. Jay knew this would be thest opportunity Solean Medicine have. If
James was defeated, Solean Medicine wouldpletely lose its credibility and from today onwards,
the world would see Solean Medicine as Goryeon Medicine.
Thus, he personally chose the herbs.
He randomly chose a thousand of them.
The herbs each of the participants would receive were different.
Soon, two huge boxes were lifted onto the stage.
They were sealed and only had a single opening just big enough for a hand to fit through it. Jay looked
at James and Jonathan and said, “The herbs were chosen randomly. Each box has different herbs in it.
Choose one.”
James nced at Jonathan. “You may go first.”
Jonathan pointed at one of the boxes.
After his selection, the staff separated the boxes.
All other necessary equipment was also prepared-tables, papers, pens, blindfolds, and the like. They
each stood before a box and wore blindfolds.
Meanwhile, a few assistants stood by their sides.
They were there to seal the herbs and the answers together to determine the results after James and
Jonathan had identified the herbs and jotted down their answers.
Delh stood in the middle and questioned the participants. “Are you ready?” James and Jonathan said
in unison, “Yes.” “Ready… Three… Two… One… Start!” A countdown of ten minutes appeared on the
LCD TV behind the stage.
Jonathan immediately reached into the box and grabbed a herb. After sniffing it, he put it aside and
swiftly wrote the answer.
Meanwhile, the staff hurriedly sealed the answers and the herbs away.
There were cameras all over the hall. There were no dead angles which meant there was no room for
cheating. While Jonathan had already identified a number of herbs, James simply stood motionless.
The crowd became increasingly worried. “Hurry up!”
“What are you standing there for? Get moving!”
They were all anxious for James.
“We’ll be humiliated if you lose!”
Under the crowd’s watchful gaze, James reached into the box and grabbed a handful of herbs,
“What?”

The crowd was stunned.
“What’s going through his head? Why did he grab a handful of herbs?”
James brought the herbs to his nose and sniffed them.
Then, he simply tossed them aside and wrote the answers.
He wrote a dozen answers in a row.
The brazen move had left the staff stunned for a second. They then took the herbs and the answers
and sealed them away as quickly as they could.
James had given this some thought. Jonathan was no ordinary doctor. The oue of thispetition
would be decided by one’s speed. The faster his hands could move, the higher his chances of winning.
To achieve an overwhelming victory, he chose to grab a handful of herbs to maximize his efficiency.
After jotting down his answers, he swiftly grabbed another handful.
There were thirty or so herbs this time.
Once again, he sniffed them and swiftly wrote down the answers after only a few seconds.
The scene was clearly recorded by the cameras.
The crowd was shocked.
“W-What the hell is this? Can he really identify the herbs just with this?” “Impossible!” They eximed
in disbelief.
Though the crowd was sitting on the sidelines watching, the experienced doctors knew what was going
on. Many doctors who had spent a lifetime dealing with medicine were also present. There was a wide
variety of medicine that used millions of different herbs. The herbs also included various nt species.
Each herb has different medicinal properties and smells. Some give off a faint scent, while others have
no scent at all.
“We’re done for.” “How can we win with him fooling around?”
Many practitioners of Solean Medicine shook their heads and sighed in resignation.
From their perspective, James was just fooling around. There was no way he could win.
Solean Medicine would end up being renamed.
They weren’t willing to ept it, but they had no choice.
