Chapter 88: The Helpless Chen Che

"I want to challenge you to a duel between men!"

Xu Fengyuan looked determined, as resolute as a soldier about to head to the battlefield.

"Wow!!!!"

Xu Fengyuan's words pushed the emotions of the students in the classroom to a peak once again!

The students whispered and chattered among themselves. Some had even raised their phones, preparing to record the exciting duel to come!

"Damn, Brother Feng is awesome! Challenging him to his face, a real man!"

"Xu Fengyuan is our school's recognized heartthrob and a top student in the pharmacy major; I never expected him to be so tough for love, he's so manly!"

"Quiet everyone, let's see if Professor Li's boyfriend dares to accept the challenge. I really want to see what kind of skills this man named Chen Che has to be with Professor Li!"

The classroom quieted down, and everyone stared fixedly at Chen Che, waiting for his response.

Whether it was the male students, the female students, the members of Professor Yuan Nansen's research team, or Ma Zijun, everyone wanted to see exactly what skills Chen Che possessed.

However, Chen Che clearly did not want to invite trouble, so he said, "Classmate, you are very excellent; I concede defeat!"

"Boo~"

A chorus of mocking boos filled the classroom.

Xu Fengyuan's expression turned ugly, and he questioned, "Are you afraid, or do you look down on me?"

"Classmate, you are very excellent; I cannot win against you."

Chen Che admitted he was inferior, thinking that by backing down and playing the coward, he could get the other party to just let it go.

"I haven't even said what we're competing in, and you already know you can't beat me? You're clearly treating my challenge as a joke and looking down on me!"

Xu Fengyuan said with suppressed anger.

Chen Che said helplessly, "Then what do you propose we compete in?"

"This is a medical college, and Professor Li is an expert in the medical field; her boyfriend must surely understand Medicine, so let's compete in Medicine! We can discuss the specifics of how to compete."

Xu Fengyuan said.

Chen Che could not understand his train of thought and asked, "Why does her understanding Medicine mean her boyfriend must also understand Medicine?"

"For a goddess like Professor Li, the man she favors must be someone who can earn her approval in Medicine!"

Xu Fengyuan said with a serious face.

Chen Che still could not grasp his train of thought, and out of a desire to avoid being pestered, he continued to concede, "Then congratulations, I don't understand Medicine, you win."

"If you don't understand Medicine, how are you qualified to be Professor Li's boyfriend? Or do you think I'm not worthy of being your opponent?"

Xu Fengyuan was determined to compete with Chen Che and said righteously, "If you don't accept my challenge, then say right now in front of everyone that you aren't worthy of being Professor Li's boyfriend!"

Chen Che scratched his head, weighing his words, and said, "Classmate, provocation won't work. Besides, our competition has no meaning; no matter who wins or loses, whoever Professor Li likes is for her to decide."

"I know the final decision rests with Professor Li, but I just won't accept this!"

Xu Fengyuan said angrily, "Professor Li is beautiful, generous, and has excellent professional knowledge. The boyfriend of such a goddess cannot be useless; at the very least, he cannot be weaker than her!"

Chen Che raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying that I look completely useless?"

This time, it wasn't Xu Fengyuan who answered, but his close friends Li Haotian and Chen Yifei.

"What do you think? Other than this face that's just passable, how are you worthy of our Goddess Li?"

Li Haotian said with a face full of disgust.

"Exactly!"

Chen Yifei chimed in, "People should have self-awareness. If you don't accept the challenge, it means you admit you're a useless piece of trash, and then you aren't worthy of Goddess Li. We brothers and sisters of Xinrong Medical College won't allow a man like you to drag the goddess down!"

The onlookers were also stirred up, and they began to provoke and mock him.

"A goddess like Professor Li—not to mention men, even I as a woman am moved and admire her. Since she is so excellent, how could she be deceived by a useless man!"

"That's right, so what if he's handsome? Not daring to accept the challenge shows he's guilty and has no ability. I really don't know how the goddess took a fancy to him!"

"Don't say that, Professor Li is still here, and besides, maybe he excels in other areas?"

"So what if Professor Li is here? We are helping her see the true face of this hypocritical and cowardly man! Besides, even if he excels in other areas, it doesn't add points. Professor Li is a Divine Doctor and a strong female lead; if her boyfriend can't help or earn her approval in the medical field, then he's no different from trash!"

Hearing the students' extreme words, Xu Fengyuan frowned and said to Chen Che, "I believe you must have real skills, otherwise Professor Li wouldn't have chosen you, but you must compete with me today.

If you can't beat me, you won't be able to convince the crowd, and you won't be leaving here today!"

"Uh..."

Chen Che felt a massive headache and had no choice but to look at Li Qingyan for help.

Li Qingyan remained seated in the middle of the crowd, and at the look of help Chen Che cast her way, she responded with a gloating smile.

Far from helping him out, she added fuel to the fire: "My boyfriend is actually very formidable in Medicine, you know. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to stop him!"

Li Qingyan winked at Chen Che and gave a sly smile.

She really wanted to see Chen Che compete for her sake, so of course she wouldn't step in to help him out.

On the other hand, she also wanted to punish Chen Che for his behavior of watching her get confessed to while remaining indifferent.

"So he really does understand Medicine; then he must just be looking down on people!"

"Unable to give others basic respect, this person is truly unworthy!"

"We must see him make a move today, otherwise we absolutely cannot let him leave!"

The students were filled with righteous indignation and blocked the classroom's doors and windows.

Li Qingyan's words had completely cut off Chen Che's retreat.

Chen Che shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to agree: "Fine, then how do you propose we compete?"

Seeing that Chen Che finally agreed, Xu Fengyuan revealed a triumphant smile, and he was just about to speak.

Professor Yuan Nansen, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke first: "One is a top student from our school, and the other is the person by the Divine Doctor's side; such a competition must ensure fairness and justice to highlight the strength of both parties!"

"Does Professor Yuan have any good suggestions?" Li Qingyan asked.

Yuan Nansen cleared his throat and said, "The team I lead just obtained a patent a month ago regarding the recently discovered Kelo Toxin."

"I suggest we don't need to make the competition too complicated; let's just compete on neutralizing Kelo Poison."

"I will prepare the Kelo Poison test solution for both of you and provide the chemical formula for the antidote; you two will then select the medicinal herbs, purify them, and decoct them according to the formula."

"Whoever can complete the detoxification the fastest and best within the allotted time wins."

"Of course, the standard for completing the detoxification is also very simple."

"I will add a special pigment to the Kelo Toxin test solution that turns it ink-black; if the antidote is correct and the concentration is appropriate, the Kelo Toxin test solution will turn transparent."

Yuan Nansen was also a medical fanatic; ever since he heard Li Qingyan say that Chen Che understood Medicine, he had developed an intense curiosity.

As a peer, he naturally wanted to witness the Medicine that even the Divine Doctor acknowledged.

"Do the two of you have any objections to what I've said?" Yuan Nansen asked with a look of anticipation.

"None."

"I don't either!"

"Good, since that's the case, let's move to the Experimental Building!" Yuan Nansen was in high spirits and led the way to make preparations.

The students also swarmed like a hive, scrambling to rush to the Experimental Building, hoping to grab a good spot to watch the show!

Ma Zijun and the others were also very curious and interested, so they followed behind the crowd toward the Experimental Building.

Ma Zicheng followed at the very back of the crowd and pulled aside the principal, Luan Youdong.

"Principal Luan, I have a matter I need your help with."

Ma Zicheng pulled a stack of red bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Luan Youdong's suit pocket.

"What is the Second Young Master doing?!" Luan Youdong said, flattered.

"As long as Principal Luan helps me with this, not only will there be many benefits, but you will also be an honored guest of my Ma Family in the future."

Ma Zicheng smiled.

Luan Youdong could not resist the temptation of climbing up the high branch of the Jinling Ma Family, so he said solemnly:

"Second Young Master, please speak; I will definitely do my best to help!"

"When they are competing..."

Ma Zicheng whispered his sinister revenge plan into Luan Youdong's ear.
