“Silence!” As everyone got into a heated discussion, a loud voice roared. Then, a group of elders of the
Stoneray Order entered the hall.
Dr. Linden Watkins, leader of the Stoneray Order, walked before the group. Several other elders and
some of the administrative disciples followed behind him.
“Is that Dr. Linden Watkins? He has such a grand auraing from him!”
“Whoever does well in the examination today will be chosen as Dr. Watkins’ student. And will be
learning from Dr. Watkins himself. The chosen one will have a bright future ahead!”
The mood turned serious when Linden entered. Everyone looked at him with respect in their eyes.
Linden was the best of the great three doctors in Balerno. Not only was he a skilled doctor, but he also
had many students in the entire country. Everyone respected him. It would be a big achievement to
be his student.
“We have some interesting candidates here today.” He looked at the crowd, briefly focusing on Preston
and Miranda
Asclepia had managed to make a name for themselves in the medical field. And now their influence
increased and would soon be on the same level as the Stoneray Order. Preston and Miranda’s
presence within Asclepia helped them recruit more geniuses. Linden paid close attention to these rising
talents of the younger generation.
“Let’s begin.” Linden nodded to the rest of the elders. Then he sat in the center as the other elders sat
on both sides of him.
“The examination will begin.” An invigtor dressed in ck stood before the crowd. Then he
announced, “There are three parts to this examination. First, you will need to identify some drugs.
Second, you will have to produce a medicine And finally, you will cure a sick patient.”
“Now, please get ready for the first test.” With a wave of his hand, more than ten disciples of the
Stoneray Order walked in. They held a wooden box with medicine bottles inside.
“These bottles contain medicine that we’ve prepared. For your first test, you will taste it and identify the
herbs used. Each of you will get a piece of paper, so list itsponents. Ten points will be deducted for
each mistake. If you make three mistakes, you’re disqualified,” the invigtor announced.
The hall immediately buzzed with discussion when they heard that.
“My goodness! They call this simple? How are we supposed to identify the herbs used by just the taste
of it? Can anyone even do that?”
“Exactly! I don’t think anyone can do that without at least 20 years of experience!”
“If the first test is this tough, I can’t imagine how difficult the next two tests will be!”
Everyone beganining about how difficult the test was. Though everyone knew that the Stoneray
Order had strict criteria for epting students, this was harder than they thought.
“Silence!” The invigtor roared. “If anyone is dissatisfied, you can choose to give up. The Stoneray
anymore. Just because he couldn’t be bothered to take action did not mean that he wasn’t capable of
doing so.

“Wow! You’re finally acting like a man!” Preston gave a cunning grin.
“Alright, I won’t take advantage of you. Let’s just go through with Dr. Watkins’ examination. Whoever
gets a higher rank in the examination wins. The loser will be the winner’s dog. How’s that? Do you dare
to take up the challenge?” Preston was dead set on winning.
Preston was going to defeat Dustin so that he could crush him under his feet, utterly humiliating him.
Only by doing so could he vent the anger in his heart.
“Well, if you insist on bing my dog, I’ll agree to it, then.” Dustin had an impassive look.
“Hmph! Keep talking tough. Let’s see how much longer you can stay arrogant!” Preston sneered.
“Everyone, did you all see that? We are all witnesses to the challenge. The loser shall be the winner’s
dog.” Miranda was quick to back Preston up.
“That’s right! The loser will be a dog!” Theckeys followed along.
It wasn’t every day that they came across someone they could humiliate. They were going to grab hold
of every opportunity that came their way.
“This young man is acting so recklessly. Why would he ept Preston’s challenge? At a medical
examination too! Isn’t he inviting defeat upon himself?”
“If he doesn’t have the ability, he should admit defeat. But he insists on being arrogant! He’s going to
embarrass himself when he loses.”
“Young people these days are too proud. They don’t know their limits.”
The crowd around them started whispering andmenting on Dustin’s actions. From their point of
view, Dustin was too arrogant and would end up embarrassing himself.
“Silence!” As everyone got into a heated discussion, a loud voice roared. Then, a group of elders of the
Stoneray Order entered the hall.
Dr. Linden Watkins, leader of the Stoneray Order, walked before the group. Several other elders and

“Silence!” The invigtor roared. “If anyone is dissatisfied, you can choose to give up. The Stoneray
Order will not ept ipetent students!”
His simple statement was enough to silence the crowd’s grumbles andints. None of them were
ready to give up so quickly after such a long journey there.
“If we have no objections, we will begin now. You will be given a medicine bottle and must list the
ingredients within 30 minutes. Whoeverpletes this within the given time will continue to the next
test.” The bottles were given out, and the timer started counting down.
Upon receiving the bottle, everyone quickly tasted the medicine.
Every second counted. Whoever finished the test in the shortest time would show that they were better
than the rest. They might even attract the attention of the invigtors.
However, everyone frowned when they tasted the medicine. This was much more challenging than they
had thought.
There were all sorts of herbs in the medicine After they were brewed together, it was impossible to
identify the specific herbs used. The taste was a mixture of bitter, sweet, and sour. It tasted disgusting.
“Challenging indeed. But I’ll handle this just fine.
