Every ten years, the ten academies would provide a certain amount of credits to the students.
Based on the number of students, popularity, credit completion rate, and many other factors, the evaluation would be carried out.
The Physician Academy was ranked fifth among the large academies. Based on their evaluation over the years, they could allocate 100,000 academic credits within ten years.
The books that students read and used in school could be recycled, forming a cycle.
The fact that Zhang Xuan was able to cause the Wall of Dilemma to collapse … meant that he had earned more than a hundred thousand Academic Credits!
In other words... it was more than ten years of academic credits in the entire Physician Academy!
"The teacher is in charge of the distribution of credits and missions. Those who don't have enough credits to distribute … Oh no, something big is going to happen …"
Sun Yuan suddenly thought of something, and his lips twitched. He was on the verge of tears.
His teacher, You Xu, was in charge of the physician examination and the allocation of Academic Credits in the academy. If all ten years of Academic Credits were given to a single person, would the other students who had completed missions but didn't receive any Academic Credits come over to cause trouble?
If it was a light matter, he would just insult him. If it was a heavy matter, he might even dare to make a move on him!
Academic Credits were directly tied to the cultivation of a student, and if he was unable to fork them out, it would be a violation of the rules of the academy. As the vice head in charge of the academy, he had to be punished first!
He thought that this fellow would complain to School Head Zhao, but who could have thought that just by challenging the Wall of Dilemma, his teacher would be pushed to the center of the storm, and no one would be able to save him!
If the Physician School were to incur the displeasure of countless students due to this matter and they began withdrawing from their classes, the overall strength of the Physician School would surely plummet.
At that time, needless to say, he wouldn't be able to continue working as the vice school head anymore.
"Indeed!" Hu shi also realized this as well, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"By the way, isn't this Zhang Xuan here?"
Knowing that the other party was intentionally causing trouble for him, Sun Yuan scanned the area once more, but to no avail. Thus, he couldn't help but ask.
"Him? He left right after solving the Wall of Dilemma. I think he went to the Malady Platform … "Hu shi said.
Sun Yuan's lips twitched, and his body swayed weakly. "Malady Platform? What's he doing there? "
"There's a mechanism on the Affliction Platform that allows a master teacher who has a supporting occupation in the Way of Medicine to sense the miraculous nature of the illness. At the same time, it's also possible to verify the accuracy of the prescription … Zhang Xuan probably went there to test his capability in the Way of Medicine," Hu shi said.
Just like the Wall of Dilemma, the Malady Platform was also a part of the Physician Guild. It allowed master teachers who studied the Way of Medicine to examine effective prescriptions instead of randomly prescribing medicine.
"He even cleared the Wall of Dilemma … Is there a need to test his strength?"
Hearing those words, Sun Yuan nearly burst into tears.
The Wall of Dilemma was the most difficult examination in the entire academy. It listed all of the Wall of Dilemma, and Zhang Xuan was able to clear it with ease. To be able to solve more than five hundred problems within ten minutes... With such medical skills, was there a need for him to go to the Malady Diagnosis Table?
"Then … this is bad!"
Hu shi also recovered from his shock, and he was just about to say something when another explosion sounded. A cloud of dust rose into the air, and it seemed like something had collapsed yet again.
"It's the malady table. Let's go and take a look …"
With twitching lips, Sun Yuan hurriedly rushed over with Hu shi and the others, and with just a single glance, he felt his body trembling uncontrollably.
On the Malady Platform, the large corridor had collapsed into ruins. A teacher stood in front of it, and his eyes were blank.
"Zhou shi, what happened?"
Sun Yuan walked up to him.
Zhou shi was his junior, Vice School Head You's direct disciple, and he was in charge of the maintenance and inspection of the Malady Platform.
"A freshman said that he wanted to take the examination, so I allowed him in. Who could have thought that … in less than three minutes, he would end up in such a state …"
With trembling lips, Zhou shi still couldn't believe what had happened.
"What's the name of that freshman? Where is he?"
Knowing that this wasn't the time to be thinking about why the Malady Platform collapsed, Sun Yuan hurriedly asked.
"His name is Zhang Xuan, and he … went to the [Forest of Ancestors]!"
Zhou shi replied.
"Forest of Ancestors?"
Sun Yuan was taken aback. "The Forest of Ancestors is a place where the wills of the predecessors are gathered. Written on it are the most famous deeds that they have done in their lives, as well as the prescriptions that they have used to solve difficult illnesses! It's meant for future generations to learn from them, so why would they go there? "
If the Wall of Dilemma and the Malady Platform were meant to assess one's medical skills and earn Academic Credits, the Forest of Ancestors was meant to be revered.
As long as one was a renowned physician in the academy, they would leave their name on it, and the difficult illnesses and prescriptions that they had solved in their lifetime would be recorded on it for future generations to worship and revere.
The Forest of Ancestors had nothing to do with Academic Credits; it was meant to inspire future generations.
"Let's head over to take a look," Hu shi said.
"Un!" Sun Yuan hurriedly nodded.
Even though the Forest of Ancestors had nothing to do with the Academic Credits examination, Zhang Xuan was simply too bizarre. It would be best for them to head over to take a look.
The group hurriedly rushed over, but before they could reach the Forest of Ancestors, they heard the ground shaking once more. Following which, countless stone tablets exploded.
The intense tremors caused cracks to appear on the ground. The entire Tower of Physicians was shaking violently as well.
"What's going on?"
Sun Yuan and the others hurriedly rushed over, only to see the ruins of the Forest of Ancestors.
This was a place where the glorious deeds of the predecessors were displayed. How could it be destroyed?
Could it be that … someone had attacked them?
The Wall of Dilemma and the Malady Platform had collapsed due to him clearing the tests too quickly. Even if someone was to blame, it couldn't be blamed on him. It could only be blamed on the flaws in the mechanisms themselves. They didn't expect someone to solve so many difficult problems so quickly.
But … given that the Forest of Ancestors wasn't related to the examination, could it be that someone had made a move on them?
Destroying the possessions of the Physician Academy, especially those left behind by the predecessors, was a heinous crime that was more than sufficient to send him to the Master Teacher Tribunal for trial!
"H-how is this possible …"
Just as Sun Yuan and the others were perplexed, a middle-aged man suddenly walked over with a dazed look on his face. It was as if he had just suffered a huge blow, leaving him on the verge of going insane.
"Ye shi!"
Sun Yuan shouted anxiously.
As usual, Ye shi was his junior, and he was in charge of the maintenance of the Forest of Ancestors.
As the Tower of Physicians was under Vice School Head You's management, most of the teachers in charge were his students.
Seeing that Sun Yuan, Hu shi, and the others were around, Ye shi finally recovered from his shock. He turned to look at the rubble before him and said, "It's all wrong. To think that it's all wrong …"
"Ye shi, what happened? Did someone use brute force to attack the Forest of Ancestors? "Sun Yuan asked.
"Brute force?" Ye shi shook his head. "Take a look for yourself."
Without explaining, Ye shi took out a Record Crystal and passed it over.
Sun Yuan, Hu shi, and the others hurriedly lowered their heads to take a look.
With a flash of light, the Forest of Ancestors appeared before them. Following which, a young man walked over. Who else could he be other than Zhang Xuan?
Zhang Xuan walked up to the first stone tablet.
This was the inscription left behind by the first principal of the Physician School when it was first established. The inscription described the contributions he had made throughout his life, and his greatest contribution was solving the Demon Hound Affliction.
The Demon Hound Affliction was a bizarre illness that was prevalent back then. Once bitten by a dog-type spirit beast, the illness would flare up within three months. Even Saint realm experts would find it difficult to escape from the affliction. Initially, the afflicted would shed their skin and grow fur, and in just a few days, they would lose their rationality, turning into a monster that would bite anyone in sight.
Back then, the affliction had spread far and wide. After half a year of painstaking research, the principal of the Physician School finally came up with a prescription.
However, this prescription was only a preventive measure, not a cure. In order to resolve the affliction, the Physician School mobilized countless experts to kill the afflicted cultivators and cremate them. Only then did they manage to prevent the affliction from spreading further.
Even though he had killed many people back then, he had saved many more lives. As such, the principal of the Physician School was revered by many, and his name was passed down through the generations.
Just as Sun Yuan was perplexed by the matter, Zhang Xuan glanced at the stone tablet, opened his mouth, and spoke.
"The Demon Hound Affliction is caused by the venom in the blood of dog-type spirit beasts. As long as you use two qian of Sunflower Hemp, four qian of Red Leaf, half a tael of Violet Dawn Root, and the blood from the heart of a dog-type spirit beast, you will be able to resolve the affliction within two hours! You killed all of the afflicted cultivators and cremated them, and the price of your prescription is even more than ten times that of mine. I really don't know what you should be proud of and pass down to the later generations! Are you intending to let the later generations think that your actions are shameful? "
Kacha!
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the will left behind by the predecessors on the stone tablet seemed to have realized that his prescription was more suitable for treating the affliction. It was indeed wrong to kill so many of the afflicted cultivators back then. Thus, the stone tablet trembled intensely before exploding.
Following which, Zhang Xuan walked over to the second stone tablet, and just like what he did with the first stone tablet, he took a look at it and recited a new formula. Harnessing the wills of the predecessors on the stone tablet, the inscriptions on the stone tablet suddenly felt guilty and self-detonated.
Walking forward, Zhang Xuan spoke continuously.
From the moment he looked at the stone tablet to the moment he started speaking, not even two breaths had passed. But every time he spoke, a stone tablet would explode.
In other words … the prescription that he recited was of a higher tier, more effective, and … easier to concoct than the one on the stone tablet!
"To challenge the predecessors on the basis of the Way of Medicine, he made them admit their inferiority … and even took the initiative to destroy the traces he left behind …"
The lips of Sun Yuan, Hu shi, and the others twitched uncontrollably.
They finally understood why Ye shi was in a daze!
As guardians of the Ancestor Forest, they had long been filled with admiration for the predecessors, thinking that their actions were all correct. Yet … there was someone who said that their actions were all wrong, and he even won their acknowledgment … It was already a miracle that they didn't collapse on the spot.
"The Wall of Dilemma, the Malady Platform, and the Ancestor Forest … Of the four most important aspects of the Tower of Physicians, three of them have been destroyed. Just what kind of monster did teacher offend?"
Looking at how the Ancestor Forest was destroyed, Sun Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Pointing out the flaws of the predecessors and causing the destruction of the stone tablets, not only was the other party not guilty, it was even considered a meritorious deed!
If this matter were to spread to the Physician Guild, he would surely be praised for it …
To know that there was a mistake in the prescription with just a look … How in the world did that fellow do it?
"Right, where is Zhang Xuan? Where did he go after the collapse of the Ancestor Forest? "
Recovering from his shock, Sun Yuan quickly scanned his surroundings.
"Sun laoshi, bad news! Zhang Shi has gone to the second floor, intending to challenge the Tower of Physicians to take the physician examination …"
Suddenly, someone among the crowd shouted. But before he could finish his words, the ground suddenly shook, and countless rocks fell from the sky.
Following which, the spacious room before them suddenly collapsed.
"The Tower of Physicians … is doomed!"
Sun Yuan cried.
