The next day.

It was time for the final round of the International Physiology Competition. The final scores of the fifteen teams would determine the competition’s overall rankings. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Gu Mang and the others arrived at the Academic Center at 8.40 PM sharp and they ran into Yang Tianming and the rest of the team at the entrance.

When Yang Tianming saw Yu Mufeng standing next to Gu Mang, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here on Jijing Island? Is your father here too?"

"He’s not here." Yu Mufeng slipped a hand into his pocket. "I came to deliver something to my grandmaster."

Other than Gu Mang, Yang Tianming could not think of anyone else who could order Yu Mufeng around and make him address them as his grandmaster.

Yang Tianming looked at Gu Mang’s injured hand worriedly. "Is your hand okay? I don’t want your injury to worsen because of the competition."

Gu Mang, who had a cap on her head, gave a succinct reply. "It’s fine."

Bai Sui took a look at Gu Mang’s hand too, his eyes darkening somewhat.

The other teams had all arrived by now.

They had heard rumors about Gu Mang suffering a serious hand injury due to a car accident and thus were staring curiously in Gu Mang’s direction as they whispered to one another. "We’re doing clinical simulations today. How on earth is she going to compete when her right hand is injured?"

"Even if Capital University didn’t say anything about Gu Mang’s injury, the organizer will definitely let her withdraw from the competition and exclude her results from the final round, right?"

"We’re allowed to withdraw from the competition in the event of an accident."

"Maybe she’s just here to watch. She can’t possibly participate in the competition in that state." The person who was speaking thought it was a shame that Gu Mang might not be taking part in the final round. Her impressive performance in the previous rounds had made many people look forward to her performance in the last round.

One of the professors calmly said, "She didn’t withdraw from the competition. She rejected the organizer’s suggestion to withdraw."

It was obvious who the professor was referring to and it made everyone freeze on the spot, for nobody had expected that Gu Mang would choose to carry on with the competition. After a few seconds of silence, someone asked in incredulity, "How is she going to compete with one hand?"

If this were a written test, she might be able to write with her left hand. But this is a clinical simulation. What can she do with one hand? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

...

On Gu Mang’s side.

The group headed toward the Academic Center in silence.

Gu Mang’s right hand, which was stitched, bandaged, and in a cast, looked especially eye-catching and it made many people think that she had overdone it with her bravado to continue with the competition.

As there were only a few teams left, everyone gathered in a conference room for the pre-competition ceremony. The room was quite spacious to accommodate everyone, so the various teams sat down in random seats.

Tension filled the air as the various teams crowded around to hear their professors whispering instructions to them.

When Yang Tianming, who was very much worried about Gu Mang’s injury, saw how calm and composed she, Yu Mufeng, and the others were, he felt as if he had the worst mental state among the lot. He could not help but squeeze his fingers as he exchanged nervous looks with Professor Xue.

At 8.55 PM, the judges entered the meeting room and were led to their respective seats at the front. Fei Luo’s gaze landed on Gu Mang, whose presence was particularly eye-catching despite her all-black outfit, as soon as he walked in.

"We gave her a chance to withdraw from the competition, but she insisted on coming." A fellow judge whispered to Fei Luo upon noticing who he was looking at. She’s just putting on a brave front. She had her time in the limelight with her nine formulas during the second round and has made a name for herself now that the world’s medical associations and institutes are discussing her formulas. Taking part in the final round with an injured hand will do her more harm than good and might even affect her reputation negatively.

Fei Luo thought otherwise, though. "Let’s wait and see first. Who knows? She might surprise us."

The other judge shook his head with a sigh and chose not to comment further on the matter.

The pre-competition ceremony officially began at 9 AM sharp. To start things off, the MC congratulated everyone for making it into the finals to which they responded with thunderous applause.

The fifteen teams would be competing at the same time, so there was no need for them to draw lots this time around. Thus, the MC said with a smile, "Now please follow our staff to the clinical lab."

The students stood up to move.

"Wait!" someone from the panel of judges shouted.

Everyone paused and looked over in the direction of the voice, which belonged to the judge who had disapproved of Gu Mang taking part in the competition while injured.
