The other was an unknown doctor.
Who would emerge victorious? The crowd watched in anticipation.
Looking at Jay and Jonathan on stage, Thea asked, "Mr.Caden, those medicinal herbs look
ordinary.Can they really be made into a poison?"
"Yes." James nodded.
"Though the herbs themselves are not poisonous, they could be after being mixed together.Jay and
Jonathan are both skillful doctors.The poison they concoct should be deadly.We’ll have to see whose
antidote is better."
Thea glanced at James and asked, "Mr.Caden, do you think you can win against them in a
competition?"
The corner of his mouth turned up slightly with a smile.
Seeing this, Thea understood.
Time passed.
Under the watchful gaze of the audience, Jay and Jonathan were concocting a poison in earnest based
on their understanding of each herb.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"Time’s up.Please stop what you’re doing."
Jay and Jonathan stopped.
Kevin looked at them and said, "For safety's sake, you should create the antidote.There’s no time limit
for this.As this is a competition, please ensure that the antidote is effective.Things might get a little
problematic if someone actually dies.To ensure the fairness of this competition, the poison you have
concocted will be temporarily sealed away."
Jonathan immediately went looking for herbs to create an antidote.
Meanwhile, Jay only stood there motionless.
"What's wrong, grandpa?" Christine asked.
Wearing a grim expression, he said, "The poison I concocted is too deadly.It’s almost impossible to
create an antidote from the thousand herbs that are available here.It can release half the toxins at
most."
Christine whispered, "We still have acupuncture and acupoint treatment, don’t we? With these two
treatments, the toxins should be completely removed."
"Mhm.” Jay nodded and said, "There’s no other way.I will use these methods after he admits defeat."
Saying that, he went to create the antidote.
Soon, the antidotes were ready.
They were then sealed away by the staff.It was now time for the session where they examined and
observed the other’s poison.
The time limit was ten minutes.
Jay unsealed Jonathan's poison.It had turned into a white powder.
There was no way to identify the herbs used to create the poison based on its appearance alone.
Jonathan unsealed Jay’s poison too.
Similarly, it was filled with white powder.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Delilah asked, "Who will be consuming the poison?"
Christine stepped forward.
At the same time, Lucas stepped forward.
They both had their respective poisons in their hands.
The crowd stood up in excitement.
Though they did not know who Jonathan was, they knew Jay was the Asclepius.
The poison he concocted in half an hour must be the deadliest in the world.
If consumed, it could be fatal.
"Please."
Being recorded by countless video cameras, Christine and Lucas unsealed the poison and consumed
it.
Immediately, Christine felt her head spinning.Her vision went blurry, and her pupils turned dark black.
She gradually lost consciousness and collapsed while vomiting white foam.
Similarly, Lucas collapsed.His face turned green, and his body went limp.
Upon seeing this, the crowd was at the edge of its seat.
Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the two on stage.
Some timid ones even cried out in fear.
