The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Provocation

After showing the invitation to the gatekeeper, the group of eight walked into the hall.

At the front of the hall was a stage, with a podium and two large projection screens on it.

The hall was very spacious, with a red carpet covering the floor in the center. On either side were rows of desks and chairs, each desk adorned with a small plant and fruit, and labeled with the names of invited guests.

The more famous you were, the closer your seat was to the front.

Zhao Xuefeng, accompanied by his students, didn’t rush to take a seat, since he had many people to socialize with.

Lin Tian and the others also met many experts in traditional medicine and quite a few famous editors.

Of course, these people were about the same age as Zhao Xuefeng.

It could be said that those who were invited to the summit were at least over thirty and had been studying medicine for decades.

Just then, two young men in smart suits with clean faces walked over. They looked to be in their thirties as well.

”Teacher, you’re here,” the two said, bowing slightly to Zhao Xuefeng, showing great respect and reverence. Then they smiled at Zhao Qingtang, ”Qingtang, you’ve grown so much, truly a stunning transformation.”

Upon seeing these two, Zhao Xuefeng showed a comforting smile and introduced them to Lin Tian and the others, ”These two are your senior brothers, Liu Ze and Liu Wen. They are brothers who graduated six years ago. In the field of traditional medicine, they are notable figures.”

Saying this, Zhao Xuefeng’s face broke into a smile.

As a teacher, the greatest joy is to see your students achieve success all over the world.

Liu Ze and Liu Wen were Zhao Xuefeng’s most outstanding students, next to Lin Tian. Otherwise, they would not have the right to attend the summit.

Liu Ze waved his hand with a smile, ”Teacher, you’re flattering us. In front of you, our skills are still far behind.”

Zhao Xuefeng gladly accepted their humility, acknowledging that while his students were excellent, knowing their limits was another matter.

Zhao Xuefeng gestured toward Lin Tian and the others, saying, ”These are this year’s new students. Don’t underestimate them because of their youth. My medical skills can’t compare to Lin Tian’s.”

Hearing this, the two men’s eyes lit up, ”Is the junior brother named Lin Tian here too?”

”Yes, here he is.” Zhao Xuefeng patted Lin Tian’s back, urging him to step forward.

Lin Tian stepped up with confidence and greeted them, ”Hello, senior brothers. I’ve heard your names before, pleased to meet you.”

Indeed, the two men in front of him were quite well-known in the field of traditional medicine. Lin Tian had read their papers, which were quite good.

Liu Wen eagerly stepped forward, shaking Lin Tian’s hand, with urgency in his tone, ”So you’re Lin Tian? Our teacher has mentioned you. Is your medical skill really that good?”

Liu Wen, with a square face, looked earnest and sincere, but when it came to talking about medicine, he was straightforward. He’s truly passionate about medicine.

”Yes, Lin Tian, we’ve actually been eager to meet you. To receive such high praise from our teacher at a young age, you’re the first. The two of us have hardly ever heard a word of praise from the teacher.” Liu Ze smiled warmly.

Zhao Qingtang nodded on the side, ”Yes, I’m starting to wonder if Lin Tian is his own grandson. I’ve never heard him say anything nice about me.”

”Hahaha.” Everyone laughed.

These two disciples of Zhao Xuefeng were both passionate about traditional medicine. After greeting Lin Tian, they started discussing medical topics with him.

One specialized in internal medicine and the other in surgery, while Lin Tian was versed in both, making their conversation smooth, as if they were old friends.

The two even felt that it was a pity they’d met Lin Tian so late.

Liou Qingcheng and Sisi stood by, unable to join the conversation, but by listening, they could still learn something.

Isn’t this the very reason they came here?

Especially Liou Qingcheng, who stood there smiling foolishly, delighted by her excellent partner.

If anyone wasn’t happy, it would probably be Zonggao.

He’s always been a suitor of Liou Qingcheng and saw Lin Tian as a rival.

Even before he met Lin Tian, he had heard many stories about him but was not convinced, intending to challenge Lin Tian.

However, what he did not expect was that in Lin Tian’s eyes, he was just a child, terribly naive.

As he stood by listening, Zonggao finally recognized the vast gap between himself and Lin Tian—a chasm forever impossible to bridge.

Such a person, could he really be compared to himself?

Gradually, more and more people arrived at the summit.

Besides the invited summit members and staff, many journalists with cameras and microphones also came.

For such a significant event, how could the press be absent?

Soon, the large hall became crowded.

Lin Tian and the others also took their seats.

There were eight of them in total, all seated at one table, and coincidentally, Liu Ze and Liu Wen were also at their table.

It must have been arranged specifically by Sun Chuanrong.

Sun Chuanrong was also there; in fact, he arrived early, but had no time to chat with Lin Tian and the others. As the president of the Kanyue City Medical Association, the host, he had many responsibilities to manage.

Sitting in the first row were important members of the Kanyue City Medical Summit, along with officials there to observe.

Most of these officials were from the Ministry of Health, capable of directly managing hospitals.

They have great authority, able to appoint directors and deputy directors, approve large equipment, and oversee hospital funding. Sun Chuanrong’s promise to make Lin Tian a deputy director wasn’t because he was a Ministry of Health official, but because he was connected to them.

In any case, the Ministry of Health carries significant weight in the medical field because they represent the state!

Suddenly, Lin Tian spotted a familiar face sitting in the first row.

Someone from Waihai City, Liu Chan’s father, Liu Mang!

Today, he wore a branded suit, looking especially flashy.

At this moment, he was ingratiatingly talking with an official, his smile nastily ingratiating.

Suddenly, Liu Mang turned his head, casting a sinister grin toward Zhao Xuefeng.

Anyone could see that this look was a provocation!

He was provoking not only Zhao Xuefeng but all of traditional medicine and countless predecessors!

The feud between Zhao Xuefeng and Liu Mang had been building for years. Just seeing Liu Mang irritated Zhao Xuefeng, let alone such a provoking look.

Seeing Zhao Xuefeng’s breathing become rapid, Lin Tian placed a hand on Zhao Xuefeng’s shoulder, secretly transferring Spiritual Qi to stabilize his emotions.

”Teacher, let’s not act in haste; wait till we’re on stage to deal with him,” Lin Tian said calmly.

Zhao Xuefeng glanced back at his most outstanding student, realizing his impetuousness. He glared at Liu Mang, then closed his eyes to rest, out of sight, out of mind!

Seeing Zhao Xuefeng back down, Liu Mang became even more smug. He suddenly extended a middle finger at Zhao Xuefeng, not caring if he saw or not.

Though Zhao Xuefeng didn’t see it, Lin Tian did.
