Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1984

As soon as the cloth covering the cage was removed, the two mice reacted with obvious alarm, running in circles within the confines of the enclosure. However, their mobility was restricted, but where else could they flee?

"Dr. Larson, I'll take the lead." Zayn purposely emphasized the word "Dr. Larson," which was laced with sarcasm.

Matthew Larson, you should hold your horses! This is merely the beginning of what's to come! He mused, and a penetrating chill lurked beneath his warm smile.

Seeing Matthew nodding in agreement, Zayn drew a long silver needle. Then, under the scrutiny of the other three people, he dipped the end of the needle with the elixir made from the heart-stopper pampas. Since he possessed both martial arts and medical skills, he could strike with lightning speed.

Next, he waited until the mouse was near the cage's edge before launching his attack with the silver needle. Due to the excruciating pain, the mouse tried to flee, but as soon as it lifted its forelegs, its entire body froze. Following that, a dark purple shade began to spread throughout the mouse's body at a rate visible to the naked eye. A moment later, the life of the weak and defenseless white mouse was over as it fell stiffly without a fight.

"Wonderful!" Baltazar exclaimed as the elixir's effect exceeded his expectations. Ah! My beloved disciple has caught up to my level of expertise in drug-making. It seems that formulating my own poison would have a similar effect.

"Your turn, Dr. Larson!"

Meanwhile, Salazar watched the event from the other side of the room and tried to conceal his shock. If this poison is administered to humans, not even a martial arts master could contain its effects for at least thirty minutes. Moreover, they will die instantly without putting up a fight if the antidote isn't found in time. While considering that, his confidence took an immediate nosedive when he caught a glimpse of "the perfect tonic" that Matthew was holding. He may lose this competition because the second round will require him to develop an antidote for the poison demonstrated in the first round! Well…

Suddenly, Matthew patted his shoulder and flashed him a grin. "Relax!"
