Divine Level Witch Doctor

After the brief gasps of shock, a strange silence fell over the scene.

In contrast to the live scene, the two online live streams were incredibly boisterous. The bullet comments flew across the screen so fast they nearly caused phones to freeze.

Kobayashi Haruo, or rather, the team behind him, was quite cunning. They had two live streams: one for domestic Chinese viewers and another for viewers from East Japan. Furthermore, after the live stream ended, they would select highlights, edit them, add multilingual subtitles, and upload them to YouTube to promote themselves to a global audience.

And at this moment, the bullet comments flooding the two live streams were also completely different.

The bullet comments in the East Japan live stream were a chorus of cheers.

”Way to go, Mr. Kobayashi!”

”Look at the stunned expressions on those Chinese people’s faces! They’re clearly all dumbfounded by Mr. Kobayashi’s Finger Power!”

”The light of Great East Japan! Go, Mr. Kobayashi, go!”

”Mr. Kobayashi, I want to have your babies!”

”Mr. Kobayashi, I DMed you my phone number! Please contact me! I’m a total babe, you know. I can’t wait for you to use your Finger Power on me!”

Meanwhile, the bullet comments in the domestic live stream were a torrent of curses.

”Fuck, what’s wrong with these guys? Losing to a Japanese guy over and over, this is so damn embarrassing!”

”Isn’t it? Acupuncture was passed down by our ancestors, but these guys are worse at it than a Japanese guy. They should all be taken out and shot!”

”You keyboard warriors up there, you don’t know shit and you’re just running your mouths! Let me tell you, the Acupuncture Technique of these Chinese doctors is already quite impressive. The only one to blame is that Japanese guy, Kobayashi Haruo. He’s just too strong, too monstrous!”

”This sucks! Don’t tell me this Japanese guy is actually going to defeat every doctor in the Acupuncture Association and take down their sign?”

”Let me tell you, it’s very likely! I watched this Japanese guy’s last two live streams. The Acupuncture Associations in Yangcheng City and Hu Hai are even more skilled than this Jing City Acupuncture Association, but in the end, they all lost to him and had their signs taken down. Today’s outcome will probably be the same!”

”Damn it, what the hell does this Japanese guy want, going around challenging everyone?”

”Do you even have to ask? He’s trying to make a name for himself by stepping on our country’s doctors! I have a friend studying abroad in East Japan, and he told me that several Japanese media outlets have been reporting on this Kobayashi Haruo. They’re calling him the representative of the new generation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they’re also boasting that the essence of Traditional Chinese Medicine is no longer in Huaxia, but in East Japan... If you saw those news reports, you’d all be pissed off to death!”

”Come on, just win one round! Don’t let them get a clean sweep!”

The people at the scene were unaware of the commotion online.

Kobayashi Haruo glanced at everyone’s expressions and smiled with satisfaction. He picked up the thick wooden board and said, ”What do you think, Dr. Huang? I’d say this needle went in pretty deep, wouldn’t you? To be honest, I’ve never managed to sink the entire needle into a wooden board before. You really brought out my potential today! If you don’t mind, may I take this board back as a souvenir?”

”Take it.” Dr. Huang’s face was dark as he spoke. To Kobayashi Haruo, this wooden board was a trophy; to him, it was a mark of shame. He couldn’t bear to look at it for even a second longer.

While he refused to look, Zhao Yuan, who was standing to the side, narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the thick wooden board.

When Kobayashi Haruo had inserted the needle just now, he had seen him make a subtle movement. ’There’s something fishy about how that Golden Needle sank all the way into the board!’ But before he could speak, Kobayashi Haruo’s gaze had already shifted to He Chengwei, who was standing beside him.

Turning slightly to hand the wooden board to his subordinate, Kobayashi Haruo smiled, clasped his hands in a mock salute to He Chengwei, and said, ”You must be Dr. He, I presume? I’ve heard so much about you. Today, I’d like to ask for your instruction on your family’s secret art, the Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique!”

”Oh?” He Chengwei’s eyebrow twitched. ”From the sound of it, Mr. Kobayashi, you already know my family’s Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique? I wonder where you learned this technique?”

Kobayashi Haruo replied, ”You don’t need to concern yourself with where I learned it. The point is, I know this technique!”

He Chengwei said coldly, ”In that case, I truly must ask for your instruction, Mr. Kobayashi.”

”Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to teach you well!” Kobayashi Haruo said with a smile.

”Hmph!” He Chengwei’s expression darkened. Kobayashi Haruo’s words were no longer just arrogant—they were a direct insult!

Kobayashi Haruo paid no mind to his change in expression. He pointed to the Golden Needles on the table and said, ”Dr. He, please begin. Let me see what level you’ve reached with your Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique.”

”Fine, I’ll give you an eye-opener!” He Chengwei was genuinely enraged now. With a low grunt, he reached out and picked up a Golden Needle. Following the lifting, thrusting, and twisting of his fingers, the Golden Needle danced in mid-air like a living golden snake, shaking its head, flicking its tongue, and writhing its tail. In an instant, he had perfectly executed the four probes he knew, leaving everyone, both at the scene and online, completely stunned.

”Beautiful!”

”What an incredible Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique!”

”That technique is godly! For a moment, my eyes were playing tricks on me. I thought Dr. He was holding a small golden snake, not a Golden Needle!”

”So cool! I refuse to believe that Japanese bastard actually knows the Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique, let alone that he could be better than Dr. He!”

After a brief silence, the people at the scene and online began to cheer for He Chengwei. Of course, the viewers from East Japan were cheering on Kobayashi Haruo.

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP...

A round of applause rang out. The one clapping was none other than Kobayashi Haruo.

While clapping, he said, ”Dr. He, you truly live up to your reputation of having immersed yourself in the Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique for decades. Your skill has indeed reached a state of perfection. But this technique clearly has nine probes. Why did you only perform four?”

He Chengwei replied, ”The other five probes were lost long ago. It’s impossible for anyone in this world to know them anymore.”

”Lost? Impossible for anyone to know? I wouldn’t be so sure!” Kobayashi Haruo reached out, picked up a Golden Needle, and began to perform the Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique.

”This technique... how is it exactly the same as Dr. He’s just now?”

”No way! This guy really knows the Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique? Judging by his fundamentals, he’s no worse than Dr. He!”

”Isn’t the Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique the He Family’s secret that’s never passed on to outsiders? When did it get leaked? And it was learned by a Japanese person?”

Amidst the crowd’s shock, Kobayashi Haruo performed the four probes that He Chengwei knew, then the corner of his mouth curved up into a smirk as he said, ”Now watch closely. Don’t blink!”

As his fingers twisted, the Golden Needle once again began to dance. This time, the movements of the Golden Needle were completely different from before!

”How is this possible!?” He Chengwei’s pupils instantly dilated, and he cried out in shock.

Although the remaining five probes of the Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique had been lost, the He Family’s ancestral medical texts contained descriptions of them. Therefore, He Chengwei knew at a glance that what Kobayashi Haruo was now performing was precisely the lost Five Probes Technique!

’Why does a Japanese man know my family’s lost Five Probes Technique? Where did he learn it?’

For a moment, He Chengwei’s mind was completely filled with shock and confusion.

Soon, Kobayashi Haruo finished his demonstration. Retracting the needle, he asked, ”Well? Is my Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique worthy of Dr. He’s notice?”

He Chengwei’s mouth hung open, speechless for a long time.

Although his technique with the Four Probing Needle Technique was far more profound than Kobayashi Haruo’s, it couldn’t stand up against someone who knew the complete Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique!

Taking a deep breath, He Chengwei prepared to admit defeat. But just at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out: ”What you’re using isn’t the Spiritual Snake Nine Probing Needle Technique at all!”
