"Come to the Alchemy School?"
School Head Lu was taken aback for a moment before narrowing his eyes. "He is no longer a student of the Master Teacher Academy, so why isn't anyone stopping him?"
The other party was no longer a student, so how could he allow him to enter as he pleased?
"He … possesses the tokens of School Head Mo, School Head Zhao, and School Head Wei, and he's the teacher of the guest elder as well. His seniority in the Master Teacher Academy is even higher than that of our teachers … There's no way we can stop him!"
The young man's face reddened.
It was not like the Master Teacher Academy was a forbidden ground, not to mention, the other party had the token of an elder of their academy in hand. How could they possibly stop him?
"Why did he come to the Alchemy Academy?"
Putting aside his students, even he wouldn't be able to stop the other party from doing so. Thus, Lu Feng's face darkened.
"I don't know. He went straight to the library as soon as he arrived at the academy," the young man replied.
"A library?"
School Head Lu Feng frowned. "He doesn't have a student token, so there's no point in him going there, right?"
In order to enter the book collection vault, there were two conditions required: a student token and academic credits. Given how the other party had wreaked havoc in the Physician Guild, he didn't lack academic credits. However... without a student token, he wasn't even a student of the academy anymore. Thus, even if he wished to enter, he wouldn't be able to do so!
"He didn't enter. Instead, he stood outside the book collection vault … in a daze!" At this point, a bizarre expression surfaced on the young man's face.
"In a daze?" Lu Feng, Vice School Head Zhou, and the others were stunned.
What was there to stay in that place?
"That's right. It's just that he doesn't move at all. His eyes are staring straight ahead, and he doesn't say a single word …" the young man said.
Everyone blinked.
He had been wondering what the other party was up to in the Apothecary School, but who would have thought that the other party would be in a daze instead?
"Are you still there?" Lu Feng couldn't help but ask.
"He was here when I came, but he's been here for more than an hour!" The young man nodded.
"First, this fellow destroyed the Blacksmith School. Then, he challenged the Tower of Physicians, causing it to be completely destroyed. Now that he suddenly went to the library to stare blankly into space, there must be something fishy going on. Let's go and take a look!"
Hearing that Zhang Xuan had stayed for an entire hour, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. Thus, he stood up and asked.
Although he had only met this Zhang Xuan once, the scene of Zhang Xuan being unreasonable and forcing him into a corner was still vivid in his mind.
Furthermore, Zhang Xuan had even said that he was going to challenge the Apothecary School, so for some reason, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't be able to set his mind at ease.
"Yes!"
When the other four deans recalled the various actions of this Zhang Shi, the corners of their mouths twitched uncontrollably as they simultaneously stood up.
Previously, when the other academies collapsed and were in a mess, they were still somewhat rejoicing. Now that this guy had come to their academy, an inexplicable sense of danger shrouded them.
They hurriedly walked towards the library. Their speed was extremely fast, and they arrived in front of the library in less than ten minutes.
Just like before, the towering structure of the Book Collection Vault pierced right into the clouds. There was no sign of it collapsing, and there was not a single person in sight either. Heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Feng turned around and asked, "Where is he?"
"I don't know either … It was right here!"
The young man pointed forward with a confused expression.
That fellow had been standing in front of the book collection vault in a daze all this while. Why did he disappear in less than an hour after he went to look for the principal?
Because Zhang Xuan was very famous, many people had gathered here just now.
"Wait a moment, let me ask someone!"
The young man walked around, but there was not a single person in sight. Thus, he hurriedly made his way to a house beside the book collection vault.
The student in charge of the book collection vault lived there. He was a Grade 3 student, and he had come here for a part-time job.
But before he could reach the house, 'jiya!', the door opened, and two young men walked out.
"Hu Xu …"
Recognizing one of them, Hu Xu hurriedly rushed forward.
"Senior Lu Hui!"
Hu Xu clasped his fist.
"Where … are you going?"
Seeing the other party carrying luggage, Lu Hui was perplexed.
The part-time job in the book collection vault meant that one had to stay here for a semester. It had only been a few days since the start of the semester, and they were already out carrying luggage?
"Reporting to Senior, after listening to Zhang Shi's lecture, I suddenly realized that I'm not suited for pill forging. Thus … I wish to leave this place and learn another occupation!"
Hu Xu said.
"Lecture?"
Lu Hui's eyes widened in shock. Lu Feng and the others also couldn't help but turn their gazes over as well.
That fellow … was lecturing here?
"That's right. Zhang Shi stood here for a moment before starting his lecture. I was fortunate enough to listen to his lecture for a moment, and I realized that even though pill forging is one of the top occupations in the Upper Nine Paths, I'm not suited for it at all. I have wasted all these years …"
Shaking his head, Hu Xu smiled bitterly in disappointment.
Zhang Shi's lecture was profound, and he had benefited immensely from it.
Even though he had been studying pill forging for some time now, he realized that he wasn't suited for it after listening to the lecture.
Even if he were to force himself to learn it in the future, it would only get harder and harder.
Rather than suffer, he might as well give up on it.
In any case, there were nine supporting occupations in the Master Teacher Academy. Even if he didn't study pill forging, he could still study other occupations. There was bound to be one that suited him, and he would be able to improve swiftly.
"You also think that you aren't suited for pill forging?"
After hearing Hu Xu's words, Lu Hui couldn't help but turn to the other Grade 3 student beside him.
"I'm not suited for it either. Farewell!"
After which, the duo turned around and left.
"This …"
Seeing that the duo had left, the other school heads glanced at one another in bewilderment. Just as they were at a loss as to what to do, a few students suddenly walked over with their luggage.
"Vice School Head Wei, aren't those … your students?"
Upon seeing their appearances, one of the vice school heads couldn't help but ask.
Even though he was the head of the Apothecary School, he had taken in quite a few students as well.
"Yes, they are my students, Shu Yongning and the others!"
Recognizing them, Vice School Head Wei nodded.
"They are also carrying luggage … Could it be that they also think that they aren't suited for pill forging?" The vice school head's lips twitched.
"How is that possible?"
Vice School Head Wei shook his head. "Shu Yongning isn't the most talented student in my cohort, but he's definitely one of the top few. His comprehension of pill forging is extremely high, and it's only a matter of time before he becomes a 6-star apothecary. How could he possibly be unsuited for pill forging?"
Shu Yongning was one of his most outstanding students. If even he wasn't suited for pill forging, there was no one else in his cohort who was!
"Then, he …" The vice school head was perplexed.
Carrying luggage, just like Hu Xu, it was clear that he wasn't leaving the Apothecary School. Why would he do that?
"I'll go over and ask!"
With a livid expression, Vice School Head Wei harrumphed coldly. Just as he was about to walk over, the student named Shu Yongning seemed to have noticed him, and he hurriedly walked up to him.
"Teacher!"
Shu Yongning clasped his fist.
"What's wrong with you?" Vice School Head Wei narrowed his eyes.
"Reporting to teacher, I … would like to bid you farewell!" Shu Yongning kneeled to the floor.
"Farewell? You also think that pill forging isn't suitable for you? "Vice School Head Wei felt as if his entire body was going to explode.
"Of course not. It's just that … I don't think that teacher's lessons are suitable for me. Instead of continuing my studies, I might as well resign. At the very least, I won't hinder teacher's recruitment of new students …"
Shu Yongning said in embarrassment. He flicked his wrist and took out the other party's Tutelage Jade Token.
Teachers could choose their students, and students could choose their teachers. This was a two-way street.
"My lessons … aren't suitable for you?" Vice School Head Wei was stunned.
He was the vice head of the Apothecary School, and his pill forging skills were on par with School Head Lu. He was a true 6-star pinnacle apothecary …
Yet, this fellow actually wanted to resign from his lessons …
"That's right. After listening to Zhang Shi's lecture, I finally understood what pill forging truly is. Even though teacher's lecture isn't too bad, I'm still lacking compared to him. I hope that teacher can forgive me, but I'll be joining the Xuanxuan Faction right now to listen to Zhang Shi's lecture!"
After saying those words, Shu Yongning passed his Tutelage Jade Token back to Vice School Head Wei before standing up and leaving.
"…"
Vice School Head Wei took the Tutelage Jade Token and froze on the spot. His face was twitching non-stop, and he was on the verge of going insane!
To think that a 6-star pinnacle apothecary like him would be withdrawn from his lessons … and the other party even said that his lessons were lacking …
The heck!
This was a blatant slap to his face!
"Teacher, we're here to withdraw from your lessons as well!"
"Zhang Shi's lessons are truly enlightening. Even though it was just a short moment, I could already tell that only with him as my teacher would I be able to advance further and further …"
…
But before Vice School Head Wei could recover from his depression, the students who had been with Shu Yongning earlier also rushed forward and passed their jade tokens over.
Those students had racked their brains for the chance to attend his lessons, but at this moment, they were actually withdrawing from his lessons, fearing that he would turn them down. This sight left Vice School Head Wei on the verge of going insane.
"Something is amiss!"
Looking at the excited students who had withdrawn from his lessons, Lu Feng's lips twitched. He walked up to Vice School Head Wei and asked, "Did you encounter some kind of problem in your lessons that Zhang Xuan managed to get hold of? Is that why all of you are withdrawing from his lessons?"
There was only one possibility for all of the students to withdraw from his lessons at once, and that was that there was something wrong with the teacher's lessons!
If such a situation were to occur, not only would the teacher's reputation be tarnished, the reputation of the entire academy would plummet as well!
The reason why the Apothecary School was known as the number one school of the Master Teacher Academy was due to the sheer number of students who studied pill forging. If all of them were to withdraw from his lessons at once … the reputation of the Apothecary School would plummet from the top of the Ten Great Master Teacher Academies to the last place in the blink of an eye!
"I … There shouldn't be any problem …"
Hearing Lu Feng's doubts, Vice School Head Wei's face turned bitter.
He had strictly adhered to the standards of an apothecary in his lessons. Even if his lessons weren't too outstanding, there shouldn't have been any mistakes either. How could there be a problem that would cause his students to withdraw from his lessons after just a single lesson?
"What's going on then?"
Lu Feng frowned. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a few students suddenly rushed over.
"School Head Wei, they seem to be your students …"
Vice School Head Wei said.
Lu Feng nodded.
Just like Lu Hui, they were his students as well, and he had been teaching them for several years now.
"Don't worry, my lessons aren't wrong. My students won't be the same as yours! Most likely, they have something to report to me regarding Zhang Xuan's matter … "
Seeing the few students walking over, Lu Feng nodded. Just as he was about to ask them about it, the few students suddenly kneeled to the ground.
"Teacher, thank you for your guidance over the years. We would like to … withdraw from your lessons!"
