Chapter 348: Perfect-Level Prescription

"He has no medical skills?" Guild Leader Mu Hong swayed. To dare to challenge without any medical skills... Since when had his position as Guild Leader become so worthless?

"What exactly is going on? Explain it to me clearly!" His face was ashen as he waved his hand.

"Yes... it's like this!" The guard captain and Ya Rou recounted in detail how they had encountered Zhang Xuan and his request to be examined as a physician. After hearing their explanation, not only Mu Hong but also physicians like Du Rao and Cheng Feng were completely stunned, staring at each other in disbelief. Eccentricities were common, but today's were particularly striking... To not even know where or how to be examined as a physician, yet dare to challenge the Wall of Difficulties—his audacity was truly astonishing!

"Guild Leader, he has already activated the Wall of Difficulties. It has likely already communicated with the headquarters. What should we do?" Physician Cheng Feng stepped forward. The bell had rung, the Wall of Difficulties was open, and it would immediately communicate with the headquarters. There might already be four-star or even five-star physicians on the other side, ready to conduct the examination. If they interrupted now, they could very well anger the main guild.

"What else can we do? We'll just wait here. Since he doesn't even know how to be examined as a physician, he certainly won't be able to answer anything. We'll just wait for him to fail and be thrown out, then we'll give him a good lesson!" Mu Hong's face was ashen. Challenging the Wall of Difficulties wasn't just a challenge to his authority; more importantly, activating it meant alerting the main guild. If the main guild was alerted, only to find out that someone who knew absolutely nothing had triggered it, they would probably want to kill him if they knew the truth. For the Physician Guild of a first-rank kingdom to have such a blunder occur, could it be any more ridiculous?

"Understood!" Hearing the Guild Leader's words, and realizing he was truly angry, everyone dared not breathe.

"If he solves the problems on the Wall of Difficulties, will we be able to see it from here?" While the mood was somber on their side, many patients and apprentices in the main hall had by now figured out what was happening. They all stopped what they were doing and looked over in unison.

"Yes!" An insider in the crowd nodded. "The walls of the Physician Hall, just like those of the Master Teacher Pavilion, are constructed from special materials. An incorrect answer will result in a red light. Once correct, an orange light will appear! Furthermore... correct answers are also categorized by level!"

"Levels?"

"Yes, for the same illness, different medicinal ingredients and treatment methods yield different results. Based on the effectiveness, they can be categorized as barely acceptable, qualified, good, and optimal! Barely acceptable shows one orange light, qualified shows two, and so on, with optimal showing four! Back then, Guild Leader Mu Hong consecutively solved four difficult and complicated cases, and every prescription he wrote produced three orange lights, illuminating the hall and leaving an unforgettable impression on everyone..." Recalling the grandeur of that time, the insider's face flushed with excitement.

These difficult and complicated cases had been accumulated by the guild over many years. For four-star or five-star physicians at the main guild, they might be easy, but for Tianwu Kingdom, they were absolutely challenging tasks! Guild Leader Mu Hong had completed four of them in one challenge, and each one produced three orange lights, which defied everyone's understanding.

"Guild Leader Mu Hong is so amazing!"

"Indeed!"

"That guy who barged in knows nothing, so a red light will probably appear very soon..." Discussions buzzed.

Before their words even finished, the Physician Hall's wall suddenly trembled, and a majestic aura surged forth. "It seems that guy has finished answering the difficult cases, and the physicians on the other side have completed their inspection. He's probably in for some bad luck..." He snorted, about to continue speaking, when the insider's eyes suddenly went wide, a thunderous clang echoed in his mind, and he froze on the spot. Just then, the wall directly in front shot out light, but it wasn't red... it was orange!

"How could it be orange light? Did he answer correctly? This... how is this possible? These problems have accumulated over many years; many three-star physicians can't answer them. How could he succeed? Didn't they say he knew nothing...?" The insider rubbed his eyes hard, unable to believe what he was seeing. "It looks like he not only answered correctly, but it's... not just barely acceptable..." someone in the crowd exclaimed. As his words fell, the first orange light from the wall hadn't faded when another beam indeed shot out! Two orange lights echoed each other, illuminating the surroundings.

Just as everyone was in disbelief, the wall trembled again, and light beams shot out, as if countless dazzling stars had appeared inside the hall.

Three!Four!Five!Five orange lights, shining like stars in all directions!

"This is... perfect, a perfect-level answer..." The insider's mouth hung open, and he trembled, unable to speak. Normally, prescriptions only have four levels: barely acceptable, qualified, good, and optimal! But there is another kind, one that exists in legend. Such a prescription can completely cure an illness in the shortest time, with the cheapest medicinal ingredients! This is the legendary perfect prescription. Such a prescription matches the illness to the absolute extreme, rendering all others colorless in comparison, like dust. A prescription of this level only existed in legends; it had been unheard of in the Tianwu Kingdom for thousands of years since its founding! The guy who supposedly knew nothing not only solved the problem but also produced such a prescription... Am I blind?

"Five orange lights?"

"What just happened?"

"A perfect-level prescription?" The other people in the hall simultaneously erupted in chatter. Witnessing this scene, Guild Leader Mu Hong felt dizzy and turned to look at Ya Rou and the guard captain in front of him. "Damn it! Didn't you say that guy who barged in knew absolutely nothing? Now you explain to me what this is..."

"I..." The guard captain's tears streamed down again. *My goodness, weren't you supposed to know nothing, be clueless about everything? How could you have just completed a difficult case that even the Guild Leader couldn't solve, and with... five orange lights, a perfect level?* "He... he... must have gotten lucky. Maybe he won't be able to answer the next one..." Biting his tongue, the guard captain could only say.

However... his words weren't finished when the wall in front of them trembled again. A hum! Radiant light shot forth, and five beams of light shone out once more.

"Another perfect one?"

"Damn!" Seeing the second set of five orange lights, everyone erupted again. The guard captain, in particular, felt his face flush and nearly coughed up blood. He had just said the guy was lucky, and now he came up with another one. Did he have to make him lose face so quickly...?

A hum! However, it wasn't over. The lights grew brighter and more intense, and then it was as if everyone had fallen into a fireworks factory, with orange lights appearing one after another.

"Three times!""Four times!""Five times...""Eighteen times..."

From the first appearance of five orange lights, in less than half an hour, it occurred a full eighteen times consecutively! Everyone's initial shock turned into numbness. Guild Leader Mu Hong's lips trembled; he was almost in tears. He had achieved three orange lights four times, and he thought he was amazing, a true genius. Only now did he realize... he was nothing. "He truly has no medical skills? What a joke! If he has no skills, what does that make me? Am I even worse than someone with no skills?"

"Guild Leader..." Seeing him like this, the guard captain couldn't help but speak.

"Guild Leader my foot! From now on, I'm not the Guild Leader; that person inside is!" Mu Hong waved his hand. When challenging the Wall of Difficulties, if one surpasses the current Guild Leader's record, they will directly assume the position of the next Guild Leader. He had only achieved three orange lights four times, while that person had already produced eighteen perfect-level results. How could he even compare? In other words, the position of Guild Leader had already fallen into the other person's hands. What 'Guild Leader' could he possibly be anymore?

"Understood..." The guard captain's mouth twitched, and he dared not speak another word. He truly feared that if he said too much, he would be beaten to death on the spot by the enraged Physician Mu Hong. Ya Rou, standing to the side, was trembling all over, regretting it to the depths of her soul. If only she had known this person possessed such medical skills, and could even succeed in challenging the Wall of Difficulties and become the Guild Leader, she wouldn't have dared to treat him with such disrespect, even if it meant death! Now look what happened. With her initial disdainful expression, she probably wouldn't need to show up for work anymore and could just go home.

Unlike the expressions of the Guild Leader and others, the main hall was completely abuzz. "It's actually five orange lights, a perfect-level prescription!" "To witness such a formidable physician challenging the Wall of Difficulties with my own eyes, my life hasn't been in vain..." "Quickly inform the master! Wasn't his illness difficult to treat and thus assigned to the Wall of Difficulties? It can finally be cured..." The discussions were ceaseless, and everyone's eyes glowed with fervor.

Even if they didn't fully understand before, with the explanations from apprentices and insiders, they had pretty much grasped the situation. To continuously solve eighteen problems on the Wall of Difficulties, and perfectly at that, his understanding of medical skills had probably far surpassed the three-star level! Having such a super physician in Tianwu Royal City was also a great benefit to them. After all, no matter how much money one had, if an illness couldn't be cured, there was nothing that could be done.

"Over the years, the Wall of Difficulties has only contained twenty difficult and complicated cases in total. Could it be... that he intends to solve all of them?" Pushing aside the frustration in his heart, Physician Mu Hong stared intently at the wall in front of him. Others didn't know how many problems were left on the Wall of Difficulties, but as the Guild Leader who had once challenged it, he knew very well. Over the years, each time a Guild Leader emerged, they would solve a few problems. While it sounded like many accumulated over hundreds of years, there were actually only about twenty cases. He had already completed eighteen, and all of them perfectly. This guy wasn't going to solve all twenty in one go, was he?

"Impossible... The last one is a disease that no one has been able to solve for hundreds of years. He can't possibly succeed..." Remembering the last problem, he paused, then gritted his teeth. Other diseases were considered very difficult in Tianwu Kingdom, but in Xuanyuan Conferred Kingdom or other higher-level places, they were nothing. But... the last one, even if thrown into a Conferred Kingdom, likely couldn't be solved! It was an extremely rare disease. Legend had it that even a five-star physician couldn't find the root cause or know where to begin.

While he was lost in thought, the orange light flickered again before his eyes, and the nineteenth problem was perfectly solved.

"Only one more to go..." Physician Mu Hong's breathing immediately quickened.
