The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 565
James said, “They‘re calling for you. Go.”
“But, I...”
James lightly waved. “Don‘t worry. Everything‘ll be fine.”
“Alright.”
Thea put on the earphones and swiftly made her way back to the venue. Under the crowd‘s watchful gaze, she got on stage.
The top hundred were gathered on stage. The competition rules had been established.
Delilah and Kevin announced them.
The rules of the medical competition were simple. It was a one vs. one knockout. Fifty winners would enter the winners‘ team.
Meanwhile, the remaining fifty who lost would be randomly matchmade and enter another one vs. one knockout round.
The winners, again, would progress to the winners‘ team.
Then, they would again be randomly matchmade with a person from the winners‘ team and continue the one vs. one knockout
round.
After announcing the rules, an LCD TV appeared. A hundred names were listed on it. Then, they were randomized and
matchmade with one another.
Soon, the results were out.
“Let‘s welcome Thea Callahan and Francois Cortez!”
Thea‘s opponent was an elderly doctor who was further down the rankings. However, there were no weaklings in the top
hundred. They were all experienced doctors who had been in the field for decades.
Thea walked over to the middle of the stage.

Soon, her opponent arrived. He looked around eighty years of age and was wearing a white Mandarin jacket. By his side was a
young female assistant. Kevin asked, “Ms. Thea, where‘s your assistant?” Before she could speak, the elderly man before her
grunted, “Even if I win against her, I feel no glory from it.”
Thea felt nervous.
At that moment, a man got on stage.
It was James.
Upon seeing him, Thea breathed a sigh of relief.
James walked over to her and said, “I‘m her assistant.”
Glancing at James, Kevin said nothing. He immediately announced, “According to the rules, we‘ll decide the content of the
competition through a lottery.”
Soon, a few staff brought a box onto the stage.
Kevin said, “There are many sealed letters in the box. Each of them has a number on it, and each number corresponds to the
content of this competition. Leave it all to fate. Now, the staff will draw a letter from the box and hand it to me.”
The staff reached into the box.
The box was transparent.
The moment he stretched his hand in, a gust of wind came from the bottom. The letters were immediately scattered. The staff
randomly grabbed one and gave it to Kevin.
Kevin opened the letter and showed it to the video camera. Then, he announced, “No.58. Let‘s see what topic No.58 has in store
for us.”
The LCD TV on stage showed the content of No. 58.
“Name the herb! Randomly choose a hundred herbs from a hundred thousand. Both sides will be blindfolded and will have to use
their sense of smell to name the herb. The time limit of this competition is ten minutes. Whoever names the most in ten minutes
wins!”

Hearing this, the crowd cheered.
This was an interesting competition.
They had to use their sense of smell to name a hundred kinds of herbs while blindfolded. Not even experienced doctors who had
been in the field for decades could accomplish such a feat.
The staff immediately went to prepare the ingredients.
Soon, they were ready. “First round of the competition... Thea Callahan of Century Hospital vs. Francois Cortez of Abundant
Hospital!”
Hearing this, Thea panicked. Her palms were beaded with sweat.
James, who was standing beside her, whispered, “It‘s alright. There‘s nothing to worry about. With me here, you‘ll definitely win.”
“Are you two ready?” Francois looked at Thea with disdain. “I‘ll feel humiliated even if I win against her. I won‘t be participating.
Let my assistant go against her. I don‘t want her to complain about bullying.”
Before Thea could speak, James stepped forward. “In that case, there‘s no need for Thea to join in. Let me participate in her
stead.”
