Healing Doctor

Chapter 93 Breaking the Ceiling

Upon arriving at the demonstration room for the grand competition, Colonel Wang could see from afar that it was packed with people.

"It's the weekend, why aren't they resting at home or going out for drinks? Why are they all piling up here?" Colonel Wang muttered to himself in confusion.

Although he knew that Ji Xiang had probably caused some trouble again, he couldn't believe it no matter how he looked at it.

Tying a knot should only take a minute. Lao Mo and I, who rushed over from the urology hospital, should have finished by now. What's going on here?

"Let's go take a look. I have a feeling that Ji Xiang can cause a lot of trouble," Mo Chenggui said in a deep voice.

"It takes skill to mature through hard work," Colonel Wang laughed.

That being said, the two quickly arrived outside the demonstration room.

"186 knots in one minute? That's impossible."

"I saw it with my own eyes, the line was already fully strung, I don't think there's much room for improvement."

"But that person said there could be even more."

What?

186 knots per minute!

That takes incredible hand speed!

A single thread can only be knotted a limited number of times, and the further you go, the shorter the thread ends become, making the knots harder to tie.

Ji Xiang... if it's true, he's really awesome.

The thought arose in the minds of Colonel Wang and Mo Chenggui.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Colonel Wang tried to separate the crowd.

"Don't push, don't push, line up and see, have some manners."

"Exactly, what do you do?"

"Ji Xiang is my student," Colonel Wang said, pouting.

At this moment, his head was shiny and reflected the sunlight, making it somewhat dazzling.

"Is Ji Xiang your student?"

"Yes," Colonel Wang said smugly. "He came to our Second Affiliated Hospital. Before even taking the exam, I could tell at a glance from the crowd that this kid was someone special. He'd be in our group no matter what."

The doctors and nurses around looked at Wang Daxiao with strange eyes after hearing his words.

Colonel Wang enjoyed this treatment; he held his head high, as if he himself had broken the record.

"What's going on inside? How far along is the competition?" Colonel Wang asked.

"Dr. Ji has been tying knots all morning, and each time he tied one more than the last time. The legendary record-breaking has really been witnessed today."

"Awesome!" one person exclaimed, giving a thumbs up. "Meeting such an awesome person even once is a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

After listening to the description from the junior doctor at the First Affiliated Hospital, Colonel Wang and Mo Chenggui exchanged glances.

They knew the knot-tying record in the competition; after all, it was a record set by Dean Zhao back then.

After being sealed for more than 20 years, this record was finally broken by Ji Xiang.

The key point is that, according to their description, Ji Xiang seems to have plenty of energy, and each time he only has one more knot.

Thinking back to what Director Yang had said, Colonel Wang became suspicious.

"What should we do now?"

"I heard from inside that 186 knots per minute is not the limit yet. Your little Ji doctor said that he can continue to break this record."

"I think it's impossible. I can only tie 110 knots on a single thread, but he tied 186. I definitely wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."

"An instrument-made knot is still possible, but a hand-tied knot would be 120-130 at most. I think Dr. Ji is bragging, anyway..." someone said, when suddenly someone slapped them on the head.

"What are you saying? If someone can take on 186, why can't they take on 187?"

"My friend next to me scolded me."

"The key point is that the number of knots a single suture thread can tie is limited!"

"That's you. I think Dr. Ji spoke with quite confidence. Otherwise, finishing one thread per minute, 186 in total, is already the limit. There's no need to come any further."

"But I checked that wire too, there's really no room for it."

Amidst the various conflicting accounts, Colonel Wang and Mo Chenggui had roughly figured out what had happened.

Ji Xiang, he really knows how to cause trouble.

Participating in a major competition should have been a mere formality, but he managed to turn a simple event into a massive upheaval.

Moreover, both Colonel Wang and Mo Chenggui found it strange.

They didn't know how long a thread was; nobody cared about that. But they had a general idea of ​​how long it was, and they could guess how many knots could be tied on a single thread.

186 is an impossible number, yet Ji Xiang said it was alright?

"Excuse me, excuse me, everyone." Colonel Wang said curiously, parting the crowd.

The people watching outside were all young doctors and nurses from the First Affiliated Hospital. Colonel Wang didn't even need to reveal his identity; his bald head alone was enough to prove his status in the medical field.

Several people around him made way, and those in front who were unaware of the situation were forcibly separated by Colonel Wang.

"Who is this person? How can they be so rude?"

"Didn't you see the bald head? I wonder which professor he is."

"Does having a bald spot automatically make someone a professor?"

"Of course, haven't you heard? After the age of 25, your body starts to suffer a setback every year. Doctors, for example, are mostly bald; the less hair they have, the higher their skill level."

"90% of the debuffs are being poor."

"Luckily, my debuff is hemorrhoids, and my hair hasn't thinned at all."

Colonel Wang really wanted to turn around and grab the young doctor by the collar to ask him a question, but he wasn't in the mood right now.

Whether Ji Xiang was serious or just joking was a question that Colonel Wang desperately needed to know the answer to.

After a great deal of effort, we finally got into the demonstration room.

It was much quieter inside than outside, so quiet it was almost unsettling.

Several of the hospital's deans were also standing inside, along with a group of nurses of all kinds, but everyone's eyes were fixed on the same person—Ji Xiang.

Colonel Wang finally managed to squeeze in and immediately found an acquaintance, Director Bai of the Medical Affairs Department.

Director Bai still exudes a scholarly air and academic style, standing out like a crane among chickens among a group of bald professors.

"Director Bai, what's going on?" Colonel Wang squeezed next to Director Bai and asked in a low voice.

"Just watch," Director Bai replied dismissively, ignoring him.

Colonel Wang was not disappointed; he knew who Director Bai was.

I looked intently at Ji Xiang; he was tidying up the No. 4 suture. The suture looked ordinary; it was standard surgical suture.

He pulled out a thread and tied a knot on the fixed object.

Colonel Wang rubbed his hands together, thankful that he and Lao Mo had arrived in time, otherwise they would have missed so much of the show.

I won't be able to brag at dinner parties anymore.

Looking closely at Ji Xiang, his movements were steady and gentle, as if he were standing next to an operating table.

Although he had confidence in Ji Xiang, Colonel Wang had no idea how more than a hundred knots could be tied on a single line.

Looking at the line, there was nothing unusual, and Colonel Wang didn't understand.

He never imagined that something he couldn't understand would happen in such a low-level competition.

After Ji Xiang secured Line 4, the timer asked, "Dr. Ji, is everything alright?"

"Wait a moment," Ji Xiang said calmly, then took out another No. 4 cable to secure it.

Oh, so it's a relay race. One after another, nothing fancy.

The pressure in the demonstration room immediately eased considerably.

After making preparations, Ji Xiang closed his eyes and recalled the techniques he had learned from the system NPCs in the system space.

He used two bottles of stamina potion to master this technique.

"Alright." Ji Xiang calmed himself down and held a thread in each hand.

"you……"
