Chapter 807: You Xu's Eyes Turned Red

"This..." Elder Mi and Zhao Bingxu both fell silent.

The two had seen this young man's talent in beast taming and artifact forging, but as for medicine... each person's constitution differed, their cultivation techniques differed, and even for the same illness, there were different treatment methods.

These things could not be achieved merely by reading books; they required practice and personal experience.

Many skilled physicians traveled extensively, even personally experiencing battlefields. Only by constantly saving people could their medical skills greatly improve.

For this reason, the older a physician was, the more trustworthy and admirable they were.

Master Zhang, though exceptionally talented, was only around twenty years old. Could he truly defeat Vice Dean You Xu, who was nearly a thousand years old and experienced?

"He should be able to... I asked earlier, and he was very confident!" Zhao Bingxu said.

Though he said 'should be able,' there was still some hesitation in his words.

He had seen the other's talent and ability in artifact forging, but as for healing... he had never witnessed it, so it was indeed hard to judge.

"Deans, rest assured. Master Zhang will surely win!"

Seeing the three full of conflict, the middle-aged man beside them shook his head.

"Surely?" The others looked over.

Even they were not certain; why was this fellow so confident?

"It seems you don't know yet..."

The middle-aged man said, "You've all heard of the four major trials of the Physician Academy, right?"

"The Symptom Platform, the Difficult Wall, the Ancestor Grove, and the Physician Tower!" The crowd nodded.

Every academy had trials to assess students' abilities; even though they were deans of other academies, they were well aware of this.

"Master Zhang... broke the Symptom Platform in five minutes, dismantled the Difficult Wall in ten minutes, walked through the Ancestor Grove causing it to collapse... in less than ten minutes, he successfully advanced from a four-star physician to a six-star physician, causing the predecessors' wills preserved in the Physician Tower to concede in dismay, leading to the Physician Tower becoming like this..."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

"The Physician Academy is in such a mess now, all because of him alone... With such medical skill, how could he lose?"

"This, this..."

Dean Mi, Zhao Bingxu, and the others widened their eyes.

They had found it strange when they arrived—why had the perfectly fine Physician Tower collapsed, and why were so many physicians in such a sorry state? They never expected it was all this guy's doing!

Breaking the Symptom Platform, dismantling the Difficult Wall, collapsing the Ancestor Grove, storming the Physician Tower... how formidable must one's medical skill be to accomplish all this?

Crushing everything in his path!

"And all of this because You Xu... refused to sell medicinal herbs to Master Zhang?" Zhong Dingchun, the dean of the Physician Academy, swayed.

"From what we've heard, it seems so."

The middle-aged man nodded.

"You Xu, I'll fuck your grandmother..." Zhong Dingchun roared, nearly spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

Fuck, the Physician Academy had struggled to get where it was today, and then you go and offend someone, turning it into this mess. How am I supposed to face our ancestors now?

Even if history records this, I'll be the most disgraceful dean ever...

During my tenure, I got swept up by a student, and so thoroughly that even my lair was uprooted... Damn it, who did I provoke?

I was just in the courtyard, doing nothing, and got caught in the crossfire for no reason. You Xu, you're not a vice dean; you're here specifically to screw me over!

"I'll remove him as vice dean as soon as I get back, make him work for the academy to rebuild the Physician Tower. No, I'll make him clean the toilets..."

Zhong Dingchu gnashed his teeth.

Vice deans from other academies helped with recruitment, attracted top talents, and spread positive energy. But this guy? He went back on his word, broke his promises, and offended such a genius to the point of no return...

If word gets out, how can I show my face?

Master teacher? Fuck your master teacher!

Why did I ever hire such a piece of trash as vice dean...

"Accept it and move on."

Seeing Dean Zhong scratching his head and going crazy, Dean Mi and the others shook their heads.

Who else could he blame for offending the most monstrous prodigy since the founding of the Master Teacher Academy?

Luckily, he only dismantled the Physician Tower and came for a life-or-death physician duel. If he had gone to other parts of the Physician Academy to cause trouble... I'm afraid your entire academy would be done for!

"Thank goodness our Glamour Teacher assessment is relatively simple; otherwise, I fear the Glamour Academy would be finished too!"

Realizing this, Wei Ranxue let out a long sigh.

This guy had only been at the academy for six or seven days. He took the artifact forger exam, causing half the guild to collapse and the record channel to be completely ruined. He took the physician exam, and it was even worse—the entire Physician Tower was gone, and he was about to kill a vice dean...

Luckily, she had been smart and directly applied for a six-star Glamour Teacher without needing an exam. Otherwise, their Glamour Academy would probably be mostly dismantled by now.

Dean Mi's eyebrows twitched, his face like a bitter gourd: "Then... should I help him apply for a six-star beast tamer? I'm afraid he might want to try taking the exam in a few days!"

"..." The middle-aged man.

"..." Dean Zhao.

...

Below the stage, some worried, some watched the excitement. On the stage, the wind howled as Vice Dean You Xu flew over and landed on the platform.

He coldly looked at Zhang Xuan not far away, squinting his eyes, hands behind his back, exuding an aura of dominating the world and controlling everything: "You think you can challenge me? I won't bully you. How shall we compete? You decide!"

Physician challenges generally came in two forms: quantity and quality.

Quantity usually referred to the number of patients treated within an hour; quality referred to treating the same patient with the same prescription—whoever's prescription was easier to prepare, cheaper, and most effective would win.

"As expected of a vice dean, such presence!"

"As a peak six-star physician, dealing with a junior is naturally a piece of cake..."

"Vice Dean, you're awesome!"

Normally, in a life-or-death physician duel, the challenged party had the right to choose the content of the challenge. But he immediately offered the choice to the other side upon arrival, instantly earning countless praises.

See that?

This is the demeanor a master teacher should have!

A freshman who learned a bit of medicine from who knows where dares to be arrogant? Even if you let him choose first, can he win?

"This guy will definitely lose. A freshman gets a little achievement and gets carried away. Today, Vice Dean You will surely expose his true colors!"

"Yeah, I heard he even formed some kind of Xuanxuan Society. A freshman who doesn't behave himself at the academy is bound to get into trouble..."

Many senior students who had just arrived sneered upon hearing that Zhang Xuan dared to challenge the esteemed vice dean.

This is the Master Teacher Academy, not your countryside hometown. If you don't keep your head down here and go around causing trouble, let's see how you clean up this mess!

"What's wrong? You dared to challenge me, but now you can't come up with the content?"

Hearing the murmurs from below, You Xu's aura grew even stronger as he sneered.

Seeing him like this, the crowd below erupted again, with countless people admiring him.

Unlike the crowd's excitement, Sun Yuan, who had rushed over, was almost scared to tears.

If his teacher knew what he had just witnessed, he probably wouldn't be so confident...

Not daring to hesitate, he quickly sent a telepathic message.

"Teacher, there's something I must tell you right now."

Thinking this, he didn't dare to hesitate and quickly sent the message.

"Tell me now? Can't you see I'm busy?" You Xu raised his eyebrows, his face darkening.

This student of his was good in every way except for lacking tact. Couldn't he see he was busy?

"No matter what, I have to say this, or I'm afraid you won't know the other party's strength and will suffer a great loss!" Ignoring his teacher's expression, Sun Yuan continued.

"Suffer a loss?" You Xu frowned.

"Yes. This Master Zhang... just now, he has successfully passed the six-star physician assessment!" Afraid his teacher would lose patience, Sun Yuan quickly said.

"Passed the assessment? A freshman with insufficient cultivation can still succeed? It seems he has some skill..." You Xu was startled, then nodded.

No wonder Dean Mi and Dean Zhao valued him so much; he did have some ability.

But so what?

He was just a newly certified physician, while You Xu had been immersed in the medical path for nearly a thousand years. Would he be afraid of a brat?

"Not only that, he also went to the Difficult Wall... and solved all the difficult and complicated diseases on it by himself!" Sun Yuan said.

"The Difficult Wall? A newly certified six-star physician can solve that? Did he not complete a single problem and just go back..."

You Xu snorted, then suddenly realized and froze: "What did you say? He, he solved all of them?"

"Yes, and not only that..."

Sun Yuan quickly recounted what he had seen earlier.

"The Symptom Platform collapsed?"

"The Ancestor Grove burst in shame?"

"He passed the six-star physician assessment and caused the Physician Tower to collapse into ruins..."

"All of this was done by him..."

With each thing he heard, You Xu felt as if struck by lightning. His body seemed to experience the four seasons in an instant, or as if thrown from a great height, on the verge of being scared to death on the spot.

Not to mention the other trials, just the problems on the Difficult Wall—he couldn't solve a single one, yet this guy solved over five hundred in one go...

Is he even human?

Is this for real?

A life-or-death physician duel with someone like this?

Are you kidding me?

He thought the other was a weakling he could crush with a snap, but he never dreamed he was a soaring dragon that could annihilate everything in an instant!

"Yes... I'm afraid your chances of winning are slim!"

His face flushed red, Sun Yuan voiced his concern.

You Xu swayed.

Damn, this wasn't just slim chances; there were none at all!

In other words, if he really competed with the other, it would be a sure loss.

If he had known this earlier, he definitely wouldn't have agreed.

"Why didn't you say so earlier..."

Furious to the point of exploding, You Xu couldn't help but roar.

If he had said it earlier, it would have been fine. But now that he had agreed, what use was it? The information had already been sent to headquarters; even if he wanted to refuse, it was too late.

"Teacher, you told me not to speak earlier and even asked me to warm the wine..." Sun Yuan said with a wronged expression.

It wasn't that I didn't want to say it; you didn't let me!

"Warm the wine..."

His mouth twitched, recalling what had just happened, You Xu couldn't help but sway.

Wasn't it just that I didn't sell you the Ten-Leaf Flower? Did you have to turn the entire Physician Academy into this?

And a life-or-death physician duel...

Even if he won today, with things in such a state, he would probably be beaten to death by the dean!

What the hell is this?

The bitter fruit he had sown, it seemed even if it were dog shit, he would have to swallow it with tears...

In an instant, You Xu's eyes turned red.
