"Zhang Xuan? Life-and-Death Physician Duel? "
Chung Ting-chun and Elder Mi stared at one another with widened eyes.
They were just talking about that fellow when such a thing happened … What in the world was going on?
Wasn't this guy a brilliant Beast Tamer and Weapon Refiner?
When did he become a physician? And he even challenged Xu You to a duel?
"Something big has happened! Hurry up and take a look …"
Elder Mi and Chung Ting-chun immediately rushed to the Tower of Physicians anxiously.
…
"What did you say? Zhang Xuan … challenged School Head You of the Physician School to a Life-and-Death Physician Duel? Is he insane? "
Long Cangyue's eyes widened as he looked at his subordinate in disbelief.
"Isn't that fellow a blacksmith and terpsichorean? How did he become a physician all of a sudden? "Dong Xin also widened her eyes in shock.
"To challenge a vice school head … a Saint realm expert …" Long Cangyue's lips quivered.
Even though their Ashen Moon Faction was a powerful faction in the Master Teacher Academy, it was usually just a small skirmish between students. Yet, that fellow actually challenged a vice school head to a Life-and-Death Physician Duel …
Was he tired of living?
"I thought that the True Helios Faction caused a huge ruckus yesterday, but who could have thought that this fellow would be even more vicious … Quick, let's head over to take a look!"
Dong Xin nodded with a bitter smile.
The True Helios Faction had invited three teenagers to conduct a lecture yesterday, and that was already enough to send them into a frenzy. Yet, this fellow was even more vicious, challenging a vice school head to a duel …
Was he trying to defy the heavens?
"Un!" Not daring to hesitate, Long Cangyue and Dong Xin hurriedly rushed out.
…
"My teacher … challenged Xu You? What happened? "
In Zhang Xuan's residence in the Elite Sector, Luo Qiqi was still worrying about her teacher's safety when she suddenly received the news from Hu Yaoyao, and her body trembled in shock.
That fellow sure was lawless to the extreme.
That was a vice school head, a 6-star pinnacle physician on top of that … challenging him to a Life-and-Death Physician Duel …
What was he up to?
"This won't do. I have to stop him …"
Unable to hold herself back any longer, Luo Qiqi leaped into the air and dashed toward the Physician School.
…
In a quiet and spacious courtyard in the Master Teacher Academy, a floral wreath hung in the air, emanating a faint fragrance.
A pretty figure stood among the flowers with her hands behind her back. She was as quiet as a painting.
Her jet-black hair fell on her snow-white clothes, like ink, and resonated with the colorful colors around her, giving off a strange sense of beauty.
"Challenge a 6-star pinnacle physician, Xu?"
The figure turned around, revealing an indescribably beautiful face.
It was the beautiful teacher who had attracted Zhang Xuan's heart, Lozosy.
After learning that Zhang Xuan was fine, she returned to her residence and did not contact him again. She did not expect to hear the news again, and it was that this fellow was going to have a duel with a vice school head.
"How audacious …"
Lozosy's red lips curved into a smile.
Even though he hadn't interacted with Zhang Xuan for long, he had personally witnessed the latter's daring personality.
With just a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan cultivation, the other party actually dared to save her from a Consonant Spirit realm spirit beast. Just this fact alone was enough to send countless people into a frenzy.
"To be able to infuriate him to the point of having a Life-and-Death Duel, Xu, you must have done something unforgivable …"
Zhang Xuan knew that Zhang Xuan wouldn't fly into a rage easily. To be able to force him to use his trump card, it was truly a wonder what Xu had done.
"Let's see!"
Chuckling lightly, Zhang Xuan disappeared from the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
…
In the headquarters of the True Helios Faction, Zheng Yang, Wang Ying, and the others were seated at a sumptuous dining table, enjoying the best treatment.
"Uncle Qiang, teacher is going to have a duel with someone …" Looking at the table filled with delicacies, Wang Ying couldn't help but worry.
"It's just a duel. Don't you believe in Young Master's strength? It must be that vice school head or something, so don't worry! "
Stuffing a huge piece of spirit beast meat into his mouth, Sun Qiang belched as he spoke.
"But …"
"There are no buts. Let's eat first. Young Master will probably kill that person once we finish eating …" Sun Qiang waved his hands. "Besides, there's no point in you going over. It's not like you have any medical skills!"
"This …"
A bitter look appeared on the faces of Zheng Yang and the others.
They couldn't interfere in the affairs of their teacher, and the latter wouldn't allow them to get involved either.
"Alright, there's no need to be so conflicted. Let's eat. He's just a weakling. It's one thing if Young Master doesn't make a move, but once he does, he'll surely be defeated! Let's eat first. We'll head over after we're done eating! "
Sun Qiang said without lifting his head.
What a joke! If even the young master couldn't resolve the matter, they would only be adding to his troubles.
Besides … was there anything in the world that the young master and the old master couldn't resolve?
"Alright then!"
Seeing how confident Sun Qiang was and recalling the miraculous deeds their teacher had done, Zheng Yang and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
…
"Hahaha, he's courting death! Vice School Head You's mastery in the Way of Medicine is only beneath that of School Head Chung Ting-chun. He's one of the top figures in the entire Hongyuan Empire, and to challenge him to a Life-and-Death Physician Duel … isn't that just courting death? "
"Indeed, this is going to be a good show!"
"A freshman getting so complacent that he even dares to challenge a vice school head? He's courting death …"
…
Zhang Xuan's voice spread far and wide, and the entire Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy was on the verge of exploding.
Some were shocked, some were agitated, but most of them were waiting to see the other party make a fool out of himself.
Opposing the various student factions, establishing the Xuanxuan Faction, causing a huge uproar in the Blacksmith School, and even winning the respect of the three school heads … Yet, Zhang Xuan had caused such a huge uproar as soon as he arrived. While there were those who were impressed by him, there were also those who were displeased.
There were many seniors who had been waiting to see him suffer a setback.
Upon hearing that Zhang Xuan was challenging the vice school head of the Physician School, they immediately rushed over to see how he would lose.
…
On an elevated platform not too far away from the ruins of the Tower of Physicians, Zhang Xuan stood proudly with a cold glint in his eyes.
Sun Qiang was right. His motive was simple — he wanted to make an example out of Zhang Xuan!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to deal with anyone who came knocking on his door.
Every occupation had its own way of dueling, and the Life-and-Death Physician Duel was a method that only physicians would use when irreconcilable conflicts arose.
It was one thing for Xu to refuse to sell the Ten-leafed Flower, but you intentionally caused Wei Changfeng's death. That was unforgivable!
However, given Zhang Xuan's previous identity, the Physician Guild wouldn't accept his challenge. Thus, he could only take the 6-star physician examination for now.
As for challenging the Wall of Dilemma, Sun Qiang had the same thoughts as well — to earn Academic Credits.
So far, he hadn't earned a single Academic Credits. Even if he wanted to take the examination, he wouldn't be able to enter the Tower of Physicians.
"Zhang Shi … Why are you challenging School Head You to a duel?"
While Zhang Xuan was still standing calmly, a figure suddenly rushed over. It was School Head Zhao Bingxu of the Blacksmith School.
He had rushed over as soon as he heard the news, arriving even earlier than Elder Mi.
"What happened? Do you need me to mediate the situation? School Head You possesses incredible medical skills. If not for his advanced age, the position of the Ten Great Master Teachers might not have fallen to Chung Ting-chun. "
Before Zhang Xuan could reply, School Head Zhao Bingxu had already sent a telepathic message to him.
He was truly in awe of Zhang Xuan, and he was afraid that something might happen to him.
The Life-and-Death Physician Duel was different. The slightest mistake could lead to death!
"School Head Zhao, thank you for your goodwill. Allow me to deal with this matter myself!"
Knowing that the other party was saying this for his own good, Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually.
So what if you are a vice school head? So what if you are a physician?
Watch me slaughter you!
"Alright then, but … you must be careful! Back then, Vice School Head You went to the ancient domain with the old principal, and ever since the old principal went missing, he has been blaming himself for it. Over the past year, his personality has become extremely eccentric, and I fear that he might try to kill you … If you encounter any danger, it would be best for you to admit defeat immediately.
Mo Zhu and I will mediate the situation. "
Back then, the old principal discovered an ancient domain and brought quite a few people with him to explore it. However, most of them went missing, and You Xu was one of the lucky survivors.
Ever since that incident, Zhang Xuan's personality had changed drastically. He had been cooped up in his residence all day long, refusing to communicate with anyone. Even though he was the head of the Blacksmith School, it was hard to say whether his words would be effective against the other party.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
After saying what he needed to say, Zhao Bingxu heaved a sigh of relief and descended to the bottom of the dueling platform.
Even as a 6-star pinnacle master teacher, he was powerless to change the Physician Guild's decision.
Hu hu hu!
Soon, School Head Mo and the others arrived.
"What happened? What made Zhang Shi so furious that he challenged You Xu to a Life-and-Death Physician Duel? "
Wei Ranxue asked.
"I'm not too sure about the details, but I've already sent someone to look into it," Zhao Bingxu replied.
"Who are you looking into it from?"
"One of my students is a close friend of Xu's student, Sun Yuan. If I'm not mistaken, he should be replying to me soon …"
Zhao Bingxu nodded.
The Master Teacher Academy wasn't too big, so it wasn't too difficult for anyone to find out what was going on.
"Teacher!"
Right after those words were spoken, a middle-aged man walked over.
"Un. What happened?" Zhao Bingxu asked.
"I just looked into it, and it's like this. Zhang Shi said that he and Wei Changfeng of the Spirit Emporium wanted to purchase a Ten-leafed Flower from You Xu, Vice School Head Xu! You Xu, Vice School Head Xu, said that he wanted a Cloudmist Flower in exchange for it! "
The middle-aged man said.
"Cloudmist Flower? He wants them to go to the Cloudmist Ridge? "Elder Mi frowned as his face turned livid.
"Un. Zhang Shi brought a Cloudmist Flower over this morning, but You Xu, Vice School Head Xu, refused to trade for it … That infuriated Zhang Shi, and he took the 6-star physician examination and challenged him to a Life-and-Death Physician Duel! "
The middle-aged man swiftly explained the situation to Sun Yuan.
This matter had become so big that it couldn't be hidden from others. Sun Yuan didn't have anything to hide, so he told the whole story in full detail.
"To refuse to trade for the Cloudmist Flower even after obtaining it, he must be doing it on purpose!"
Zhao Bingxu frowned.
"Indeed. There are many Saint realm spirit beasts in the Cloudmist Ridge, such that even I dare not venture too deep into the Cloudmist Ridge. I must have paid a heavy price to pluck the Cloudmist Flower, and yet, I was still rejected. It's no wonder Zhang Shi flew into a rage. Even I wouldn't be able to hold myself back!" Elder Mi said with an awful complexion.
Master teachers had to keep their promises! Since they had agreed to it, they had to abide by it. Otherwise, how could they impart knowledge to the world?
Going back on one's word was a huge taboo for a master teacher.
"Regardless of whether he did it on purpose or not, isn't it a little too rash for Zhang Shi to challenge you to a Life-and-Death Physician Duel? Do you think he can defeat you, Vice School Head Xu?"
Wei Ranxue frowned worriedly.
