As a 6-star pinnacle physician, his control over his body had reached an extremely high level. How could he possibly not know whether or not he was poisoned?
With that, he knew that the poison had already invaded his heart and lungs, reaching a depth that even he could not treat.
In other words … he had unknowingly been poisoned!
Didn't the Domain Cauldron Detoxification Art neutralize the poison?
What was going on?
"That's right, you didn't manage to solve it at all," Zhang Xuan said.
"No solution? How is this possible?! "
With his body trembling, You Xu hurriedly revolved his zhenqi in an attempt to suppress the poison in his body. However, it was to no avail. "Could it be that your poison isn't in the Spirit Solution of Vigor? You … cheated! "
He had excreted all the urine he had drunk, leaving not a single drop behind. He had even been poisoned. Could it be that this fellow had only used the urine of a Saint Beast as a smokescreen, and the true poison was hidden somewhere else?
"Cheating?"
Zhang Xuan stared at Zhang Xuan coldly as he questioned, "I am sincere in my request to sell you the Ten-leafed Flower, and there is nothing inappropriate about my words. It's one thing for you to refuse to sell the Cloudmist Flower to the Cloudmist Ridge, but you even tricked Wei Changfeng into gathering Cloudmist Flowers at the Cloudmist Ridge, causing him to be ambushed and killed by the saint beasts … Am I cheating you? "
As he spoke, he walked forward with an aura that made others not dare to come into direct contact with him.
"Send someone to pick Cloudmist Flowers? Isn't … isn't this sending people to their deaths? "
"Could this be the conflict between the two of them?"
"I thought that Zhang Xuan challenged Vice School Head Zhang in order to make a name for himself, but who could have thought that the latter was the one who was being rude first?"
…
The audience burst into an uproar when they heard the sonorous voice from the stage.
There were quite a few people present who knew that Zhang Xuan had challenged Vice School Head You, but they were unaware of the reason behind it.
"I …"
Hearing the criticism and the announcement that Wei Changfeng was dead, You Xu panicked and involuntarily took a step back.
"I want the Cloudmist Flower, but you want it alive. Fine, I'll save the Cloudmist Flower, but you're going back on your word again … Am I cheating?"
Zhang Xuan continued forward, his gaze sharp as lightning.
"I …"
You Xu's body trembled. Unable to retort, he retreated once more.
"You said that the Ten-leafed Flower isn't ripe yet, so I can't sell it. Yet, I used a unique method to exhaust my zhenqi to make it mature, and yet, you still refuse to sell it, completely disregarding my reputation as a master teacher … Is this also considered cheating?"
His words were like blades, and Zhang Xuan felt as though he wanted to pierce through the other party's soul. His voice was like a great bell, resounding throughout the entire stage.
"I …"
After saying "I" three times in a row, You Xu's lips trembled. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't.
There was nothing wrong with what the other party had said. Even if he wanted to refute it, there was nothing he could do.
"Is there such a thing?"
"So, it turns out that Zhang Shi was looking for Vice School Head You to buy a medicinal herb from him … Not only did he refuse to sell it to Vice School Head You, he even intentionally made things difficult for Vice School Head You.
"I was quite impressed by Vice School Head You, but who could have thought that he would be such a person? He is truly the scum of the Physician School!"
…
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the audience burst into an uproar.
Previously, many seniors thought that Zhang Xuan, as a freshman, was arrogant enough to challenge Vice School Head You. However, after hearing Zhang Xuan's words, they realized that it was the latter who forced him to do so!
For a 6-star master teacher to go back on his words, putting aside Zhang Shi, even they would be infuriated by the other party's actions.
"It's a medicinal herb that I have cultivated, so I can sell it if I want to. It's fine even if I don't want to sell it! Do I have to bear the blame just because I didn't sell it to you? "
Seeing that the crowd was leaning toward one side, You Xu steadied his footsteps and gritted his teeth.
"It's true that you can sell the Ten-leafed Flower if you want to. That's up to you. However … I can challenge you in the Life-and-Death Physician Duel if I want to. What can you do about it? "
Zhang Xuan said coldly.
"You …"
You Xu's body stiffened.
Given that he wasn't a match for the other party in the Physician Duel, there was no way he would stand a chance in anything else!
In other words … it was impossible for him to win the Life-and-Death Physician Duel.
Even if the other party didn't dare to kill him before so many people, he wouldn't be able to withstand the other party's challenge!
Every time he challenged him, he would be skinned alive. After a few more times, he would surely die.
"This time … I'll admit defeat! Tell me how you want to compensate me, and I'll just give you the Ten-leafed Flower. "Gritting his teeth, You Xu said.
"Compensate?" Zhang Xuan stepped forward. "Can you afford to pay for Wei Changfeng's life?"
You Xu retreated. "What do you want then?"
"Simple … I'll pay for Wei Changfeng's life!"
Zhang Xuan looked at You Xu coldly.
Wei Changfeng's death was due to this fellow. Thus … he only had a single thought in his mind — A life for a life!
For the sake of his daughter, for the sake of his obsession as a father, he was beaten to death by a saint beast. How can you, the culprit behind all of that?
"Pay for my life?" You Xu's face twisted savagely. "As the vice head of the Physician School, a 6-star pinnacle master teacher, I want to pay for an insignificant figure like him with my life? Why? "
"Why? Hahaha! "Zhang Xuan burst into laughter." Let me tell you then. Why? "
"I solved all five hundred and three questions on the Wall of Dilemma!"
"I left behind four hundred and thirty-two diagnosis methods on the Malady Platform!"
"I created new treatment methods for the various ailments of the Ancestor Forest, making it easier to resolve them!"
"I left behind the most accurate treatment methods for seventy-three ailments without a single mistake when I became a 6-star physician!"
"Even though I destroyed the Tower of Physicians, I left behind even more treatment methods for the various ailments. This was the reason why the headquarters was willing to hold a Life-and-Death Physician Duel for me. Yet, you dare to ask me why?
"I won openly as a physician, and I won against you in a Life-and-Death Physician Duel!"
With every word, Zhang Xuan took a step forward. His voice boomed like a torrent, making him seem like a deity who had descended from the nine heavens.
"I …"
Retreating hurriedly, You Xu's legs suddenly caved in, and he realized that he was already at the edge of the dueling platform.
Indeed, the other party didn't play any tricks. He won through his strength and the Life-and-Death Physician Duel. If he were to deny his defeat, he wouldn't have any reason to do so.
"Kill yourself!"
Seeing the other party's pale face, Zhang Xuan knew that his confidence had been crushed. Thus, he waved his hands grandly.
"I …"
You Xu's body trembled, and his face turned ashen. In that instant, he felt that he had failed miserably in his life. Rather than living on, he would rather die.
Without any hesitation, he raised his palm and smacked it toward his head.
"Stop!"
Just as his palm was about to strike his head, a loud bellow suddenly echoed in the sky, and a figure descended from the sky.
Along with the bellow, the dejected You Xu suddenly jolted awake. He turned to look at Zhang Xuan with reddened eyes.
"You dare to use Impartation of Heaven's Will against me? I'll kill you … "
At this moment, it was clear that the other party had used Impartation of Heaven's Will to make use of the pressure of the world to force him into a daze. If the figure had shouted a moment later, he would have already committed suicide.
Hong long!
With a slight movement, You Xu charged toward Zhang Xuan, and a powerful might burst forth from his body, carrying with it an indomitable might.
Releasing the full might of a Saint 1-dan pinnacle cultivator, the entire stage seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
With a nonchalant expression, Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back and stood proudly on the stage, seemingly disdainful of You Xu's attack.
"Enough, School Head You!"
Just as the attack was about to land on Zhang Xuan, the loud bellow sounded once more. With a wave of his hand, You Xu's attack dissipated into nothingness.
Seeing that the attack had dissipated, Zhang Xuan sighed deeply.
Since the Life-and-Death Physician Duel was sanctioned by the headquarters, it went without saying that it was under their jurisdiction. If You Xu had dared to strike him with that palm, he would have been obliterated by the headquarters!
But it was a pity that someone had stopped him.
Turning around to look at the figure, Zhang Xuan saw a white-bearded elder dressed in a master teacher robe. There was a dignified air between his eyebrows, and it was clear that he was an extraordinary individual.
"You are Zhang Xuan?" The elder looked at Zhang Xuan calmly with an air of superiority.
Seeing how the other party was trying to stop him from killing You Xu, Zhang Xuan frowned.
"I am the head of the Apothecary School, Lu Feng!"
Lu Feng introduced himself with an indisputable aura emanating from his eyes. "No matter what, You Xu is a teacher of the Apothecary School and a vice school head. Even if you have made a mistake, it isn't a crime deserving of death. How about this, I'll have him compensate you with the Ten-leafed Flower and some spirit stones, and we'll let this matter rest! "
"Let this matter rest?"
Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
If not for this old fellow stopping him, You Xu would have been dead by now!
Ten-leafed Flower and spirit stones … Could these two things be exchanged for Wei Changfeng's life?
"Indeed, the academy has its own rules. As a student, you have already violated the rules and the etiquette between a teacher and a student by challenging a teacher. As long as we let this matter rest, the academy will be lenient on you … "
School Head Lu waved his hands grandly and said benevolently.
"Lenient on me?" Zhang Xuan's gaze turned cold. "What if I don't want any compensation and only want his life?"
"You want his life? Humph, this is the Master Teacher Academy. Do you think that a student like you can't do as you please? "
It was one thing for a freshman to not shed tears of gratitude in front of him, but to actually dare to talk back to him in public, School Head Lu's face turned livid.
"Besides, You Xu isn't just a physician. You are a registered 6-star pinnacle master teacher under Mingshi Tang. As for how you should be dealt with, it is up to Mingshi Tang and the academy to decide. It isn't up to a 4-star insignificant figure like you to criticize us!"
"You are the head of the academy?" Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"I am not!"
Not expecting Zhang Xuan to ask such a question, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment before replying, "However, the old principal has gone missing, and the Apothecary School is the number one school in the Master Teacher Academy. As such, most of the matters in the academy fall into my hands. Don't worry, I am a man of my word. Even Xu, you won't dare to refute me! "
"Since you aren't the head of the academy, why are you interrupting me? There is grass by the riverside, so there is no need for a talkative donkey! Scram to the side! "
Hearing that the other party wasn't the head of the academy, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up, and he flung his sleeves furiously.
"Otherwise, I will challenge your Apothecary School right now!"
