CHAPTER 516: CHAPTER 499 HUMILITY

Feng Na, clutching her book, now follows behind Jiang Xiaoxiao like a little fangirl.

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, is it true what you said? Did you actually spend ten years just training for skeletal repositioning, and doing it every day? How did you manage that? It’s simply hard for me to imagine.

If I remember correctly, you’re only 20 years old this year, which means you started doing this daily training when you were ten. My goodness, what kind of people are your parents that they would have a child touch bones every day from such a young age.

If I had seen a skeletal human specimen at ten, I would’ve been scared to tears, let alone touch it daily."

Feng Na shivered.

She secretly imagined what kind of cold-hearted people Jiang Xiaoxiao’s parents might be.

Wang Huan scoffed, "What courage do you have? There’s been a skeletal human specimen standing in our living room since I was young, and I touched it daily too. As for crying every day like you said? But indeed, Jiang Xiaoxiao, your parents are talented to come up with such a training method, really impressive, I truly admire them."

"It seems Jiang Xiaoxiao, your parents must be geniuses in the medical field. Which hospital do they work at? This kind of method, most people wouldn’t think of. I doubt even our medical school teachers could think of it, and today, your approach has really inspired Mr. Li.

Maybe in the future, a new course will emerge, specifically training all medical students in human skeletal repositioning."

Zhang Xun spoke up.

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head with a smile, she has become the center of attention.

Didn’t see that after class, nearly all the classmates from her lecture left the classroom with her.

Suddenly, she had a few unfamiliar tagalongs.

Zhang Xun was the one who pointed out earlier that Feng Na’s watch was 15 seconds fast.

"You guys really got it wrong, my parents are just ordinary workers, now retired at home. In reality, no one in my family works at a hospital. My training methods and the knowledge I learned are all thanks to a family that used to be our neighbors—both were very skilled surgeons.

They liked me since I was young and took me as their goddaughter. Ever since I was little, I’ve liked rifling through their books, learning about this knowledge. They taught me this medical know-how, but unfortunately, my godparents left early with their daughter.

You know that period was quite tumultuous, and eventually everyone lost contact. Over the years, we haven’t been in touch. But they fostered my good study habits and left me many specimens so I could train, giving me a wealth of medical knowledge."

Jiang Xiaoxiao could only play dumb. All her training and learned knowledge are thanks to 60 years of accumulated experience.

Compared to others, her teachers were all the various doctors and nurses she encountered.

Her teacher is herself.

"You’re truly remarkable. Although your godparents taught you so much, after they left, you continued steadfastly practicing and learning on your own. Your resolve and stamina truly make us admire you; many of us fall short."

Zhang Xun felt increasingly frustrated.

He is a favored child of heaven, hailing from a medical family, both parents are doctors—he is rooted in family tradition.

This heritage meant he began his medical education very young, believing a medical career is the path he should pursue throughout his life, as his parents imagined for their family.

But compared to Jiang Xiaoxiao, his efforts seem lacking in diligence and hard work.

He recalled vividly his initial disdain upon hearing about Jiang Xiaoxiao at the medical school.

For someone depending on family heritage, in his view, Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t even at his level.

He wanted to use his abilities to crush others but today he realized.

The family background they valued simply doesn’t exist for this girl; she was born in an ordinary household and received no systematic education like theirs.

Just a master leading her to the door, then more than ten years of self-study, including self-training—from this patience and endurance alone, they truly lag behind Jiang Xiaoxiao.

The gap is overwhelming, leaving no room for resistance.

"Actually, I’m not a natural talent, nor am I exceptionally smart. What I have done is simply be very strict with myself, training every day, repeatedly practicing what I want to do. It’s just that familiarity breeds skill, plus a bit of technique.

The technique is certainly derived from accumulated experience. So what I can achieve, you can all achieve. I’m just at an advantage for starting training early, having trained longer than you all.

This is the only benefit I have, so don’t look at me today as being so great. Perhaps, in a few years, with your diligence and effort, surpassing me could be just a matter of time."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was not modest; she was being truthful.

In her past life, she knew she was absolutely not exceptionally smart, she had seen those truly clever and talented ones!

Bai Yiyi was one of them, her disciple Bai Yiyi, who only took twenty years to reach her level, and by thirty years, had already surpassed her.

Just this capability alone made her feel discouraged.

Comparisons can be deadly.

After such a blow, she could objectively assess herself.

She did not want to use herself to discourage others either.

An empty victory.

This life’s brilliance in others’ eyes was just due to the 60 years of effort and hard work in her past life.

Moreover, this life’s trajectory was merely a repetition of some things she learned in her past, this victory not worth flaunting.

Everyone fell silent.

Someone so diligent, smart, and hardworking, standing here with such humility.

For a moment, everyone was stirred deeply.

They thought they were heaven’s favored, with their pride, their superiority, all their cleverness and wisdom seemed so weak before this girl.

Anyone who could achieve such familiarity through daily self-demanding training and learning.

Still encouraging them, fostering their courage and confidence.

For a moment, following the shame came grand ambition among everyone.

Maybe one day, they would achieve it.

It was just repeated effort and diligence, plus their intelligence and talent.

One day, surpassing the girl before them might be within reach.

Surpassing not only Jiang Xiaoxiao but also themselves, their predecessors, and the entire medical world.

The whole medical school was swept with a wave of diligence and effort.
