Chapter 638: 638 Lost completely, it’s a matter of fate! [2nd update]

In Ye Wanlan’s original plan, she intended to defeat Su Xueqing in just two rounds.

But unexpectedly, after two rounds, not only did she fail to deal with Su Xueqing, but she also lost a round, falling into a disadvantage.

Pharmacology knowledge might be compensated through diligent learning in a short time, but the acupuncture technique cannot.

Acupuncture requires practice over and over again to finally succeed.

In these three years, Su Xueqing spent her time in Jiangcheng, without any medical resources to practice.

But she is different.

She is the Young Family Head of the Su Family, with all resources prioritized for her.

"According to the rules, the challenger should demonstrate first." The Su Family Great Elder pondered for a moment and smiled, "Since Ningxiang has volunteered, let’s have Ningxiang go first."

Undeniably, after Su Xueqing exhibited a strong alchemy technique, the Su Family Great Elder’s intent began to shift.

If Su Xueqing’s medical skills and acupuncture technique are also superior to Su Ningxiang’s, then the next Su Family Head indeed needs to change.

Among the heirs of the Five Great Families, Su Ningxiang’s prestige is actually weaker than that of the others.

Especially when both the Taiyi Palace and Heavenly Sound Sect are led by women, the first to be mentioned is still Lin Shiyuan.

The Su Family Great Elder does not wish for the Su Family to be left far behind by the Lin Family in years to come.

Su Ningxiang could definitely hear the implied meaning in the Su Family Great Elder’s words. She pinched her palm with her nails and, after calming her emotions, approached the long table to pick up the Gold and Silver Needles that had been prepared.

She has now reached the fifth level of the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique, mastering a total of forty-nine techniques.

With Su Ningxiang’s control over the Gold and Silver Needles and her inner strength, once she deploys the acupuncture techniques, those with slightly lesser cultivation will barely see her hands, only the afterimages of the needles.

"Oh my, as expected of Miss Ningxiang, Taiyi Acupuncture Technique Ninth Layer power!"

"Miss Ningxiang became the Young Family Head early on, naturally incomparable to other core disciples."

"Forty-nine acupuncture techniques... What do you guys think? How many techniques will the challenger be able to deploy later?"

"I guess... Thirty techniques will be a stretch!"

Su Ningxiang’s movements are indeed very fast, but in Ye Wanlan’s eyes, they seem like slow motion.

Even if the Gold and Silver Needles are slightly off, Ye Wanlan can clearly capture them.

Su Ningxiang’s talent is truly good, but she has taken a path eager for quick success, although still far from the Evil Doctor, the methods are similar.

This will cause Su Ningxiang to progress rapidly in the early stages, but in the later stages, her medical skills will fall into a prolonged stagnation.

Pushing the growth of a sapling, brings a hundred harms without one benefit.

"Xueqing, later follow her order and deploy acupuncture techniques one by one." Ye Wanlan smiled subtly, speaking in a voice that only two people could hear, "Then, just deploy one more technique than hers."

"Understood." Su Xueqing gently nodded, "Showcase strength, but don’t reveal one’s trump card."

"Smart, that’s precisely the concept." Ye Wanlan looked approving, "The most important thing has not happened yet; we must hold our trump cards tightly."

Three days ago, Su Xueqing became famous in a single battle; the Five Great Families knew her name.

The Lin Family, aware of the good relationship between Ye Wanlan and Su Xueqing, even had three Offerants call her over, urging her to maintain good relations with Su Xueqing.

Another hour passed, and Su Ningxiang was already sweating profusely, with fingers trembling intensely.

After finally placing the last needle, Su Ningxiang dared breathe a sigh.

"Ningxiang!" Su Mufeng stepped forward timely, supporting her swaying body.

"Esteemed Elders, I have deployed all forty-nine acupuncture techniques." Only after gulping down a large glass of water did Su Ningxiang begin to speak.

"Very good!" The Su Family Great Elder was somewhat pleasantly surprised, "Quick, deploying acupuncture techniques is exhausting, take a rest first, there is still a round of actual combat later."

"Thank you, Great Elder." Su Ningxiang threw a provocative glance at Su Xueqing and sat back in a chair with Su Mufeng’s support.

"Xueqing, your turn." The Su Family Great Elder looked at Su Xueqing, "No pressure, deploy as many techniques as you know."

"Yes, Great Elder." Su Xueqing nodded and walked to the table, also picking up the Gold and Silver Needles.

"Brother Mufeng, she absolutely cannot know more than I do." Su Ningxiang snorted coldly, "Unless, during those three years outside, someone secretly taught her, otherwise..."

Su Mufeng chuckled, "It doesn’t matter, Ningxiang, whether she wins this round or not changes nothing."

With Su Han Yan around, what she says becomes the rule.

The so-called Family Head challenge is merely for the public eye.

Su Ningxiang, feeling too exhausted, chose to rest with her eyes closed, thus ignoring the surprised expressions on the Elders Council’s faces.

"This Su Xueqing..." The Su Family Fourth Elder couldn’t help widening her eyes, "Is her deployed acupuncture technique sequence exactly like Ningxiang’s?!"

Clearly, other elders had noticed and were extremely astounded.

This indicates that Su Xueqing not only knows these techniques but also possesses a formidable memory.

"Thirty-one..." The Su Family Great Elder tightly watched Su Xueqing’s actions, "Thirty-two!"

From the beginning until now, Su Xueqing has deployed up to the thirty-second technique, mirroring Su Ningxiang’s order perfectly.

The Su Family’s Fifth Elder couldn’t help but inhale sharply: "Big sister, this Su Xueqing... truly a monstrous wonder!"

They are certainly old enough to be Su Xueqing’s great-grandmothers, yet with such skill at her young age, who else could be Su Family Head?

"Silence from everyone——" The Su Family Great Elder said in a deep voice, "Watch carefully!"

The elders all fell silent, watching Su Xueqing’s actions with unwavering attention.

As time passed, Su Ningxiang recovered considerably, opening her eyes, "Brother Mufeng, has it not ended yet?"

Su Mufeng did not respond.

Su Ningxiang immediately sensed something was amiss, glancing at Su Xueqing, her pupils contracted suddenly: "She can perform this move?!"

Does this mean that Su Xueqing also reached the fifth level of the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique?!

However, after deploying this technique, Su Xueqing did not stop, exposing a fiftieth technique.

Gasps arose from the audience.

Outsiders naturally couldn’t understand the techniques but knew the number.

"Su Xueqing actually knows more than Miss Ningxiang? Could it be fake!"

"It’s the fiftieth technique, I am absolutely not mistaken!"

"The Su Family’s sky... seems about to change!"

When everyone was captivated by Su Xueqing’s hands, she stopped and respectfully said, "Esteemed Elders, I too have finished deploying."

If it hadn’t been for Su Mufeng holding onto Su Ningxiang, she would have already gone mad.

She was nearly seething, with veins bulging prominently on her forehead.

Because she couldn’t comprehend, why did she still lose to Su Xueqing!

Logically, it completely shouldn’t be possible.

"Good... good!" The Su Family Great Elder exhaled deeply, full of relief. "My Su Family has successors, if Palace Master Yun Qing indeed has a spirit in the heavens, she would definitely be very pleased."

Two wins out of three, and now Su Xueqing had won two rounds,

The position of Family Head was self-evident.

Everyone exchanged looks, clearly not expecting this result.

The Young Family Head Su Ningxiang was actually defeated by the recently returned Su Xueqing, and in a nearly overwhelming manner.

"This round, Xueqing wins." The Su Family Great Elder spoke again, "The victory and defeat are decided, I announce, this time the Family Head challenge——"

"I disagree!" A sharp voice rang out.

Su Ningxiang finally broke free of Su Mufeng’s grip, grimacing and stepping forward, "I disagree with the challenge ending, I still want to continue, Su Xueqing, do you dare compete with me in life!?"

Ye Wanlan’s eyes instantly narrowed.

"I have already won, why should I compete with you?" Su Xueqing refused to yield, "I am the future Family Head, and you are nothing."

"You must compete with me, even if you are the Family Head, you cannot kill me!" Su Ningxiang’s eyes glinted with a strange light, "This is your only chance to take my life, will you compete or refute?!"
