Chapter 2147 Zhang Xuan“s Intervention

Chapter 2147 Zhang Xuan“s Intervention


The discussions of the crowd made Zhang Xuan’s frown even deeper.


If what the crowd was saying was true, it really meant that Fan Zhe was unqualified to be a master teacher no matter how formidable he was as a teacher.


Judge a person by his principles first, then capabilities.


Back on the Master Teacher Continent, there was a culture where teachers were viewed with great respect, and they were expected to conduct themselves in a n.o.ble and selfless manner. Under such influence, over the course of tens of thousands of years, even though they had strayed a little from their primary cause, most master teachers still took pride in what they did, never stooping below a certain level.


Fan Zhe, on the other hand, had chosen to abandon his responsibilities and compromise his professionalism so that he could earn some extra money.


While he should be paying heed to what his students really needed, his mind was filled with ideas on how he could monetize his lessons so as to squeeze as much as he could out of his students…


It was no wonder the Silver Armored General lost his temper and got violent with Fan Zhe even though he would be infringing the laws by doing so.


It was through selflessly giving their all to their students that the master teachers were able to earn the respect of the ma.s.ses back on the Master Teacher Continent…


With what Fan Zhe was doing, even if he was truly a person with great capabilities, it was inevitable that others would look down on him.


The crowd did not intentionally lower their volume, so Fan Zhe heard their words loud and clear. His face immediately flushed red in agitation. He wanted to refute their words and tell them that they were wrong, but he was unable to do so.


This carried on for a very long time until an old man walked into the lecture.


Physician Yu Feng.


“Let me take a look at the patient!”


Without bothering with any pleasantries, Yu Feng walked right up to Zhuo Yan and examined his condition. Slowly, his expression turned grim.


He has sustained significant injuries to his organs, and his meridians have been severely damaged. It’s good that you have treated him in time so as to prevent his condition from deteriorating any further, but his divine energy has already scattered all over his body. To make an a.n.a.logy, the dam that has been keeping his powers in check has crumbled, causing his energy to scatter everywhere. I’m afraid that it’ll be hard for him to make a recovery…”


Those words made Fan Zhe’s eyebrows shoot up.


If Zhuo Yan could be treated, there was a chance that he might still be able to placate the Silver Armored General. However, if Yu Feng’s diagnosis was spot-on, he would really be in deep trouble. If this matter blew up, there was no way he could remain in Royal City as a master teacher anymore.


“You b*stard of a teacher! Even if the military punishes me for this, I swear that I’ll tear you apart today!”


Yu Feng’s diagnosis reignited the rage burning in the Silver Armored General’s chest. With a furious roar, he threw a punch with frightening momentum.


Even though his son was lacking in talent, he still had great expectations in him. He hoped that the latter could become a respected figure in the city as well. It was for this reason that he had made the decision to send his son over to the Master Teacher Pavilion.


No matter what, his son had still inherited his genes. As long as his son was willing to put in hard work, even if he could not become a Celestial G.o.d in the end, he should still be able to become a high-tier G.o.d eventually and live an ample life…


But this…


He had spent huge sums of money only to have this scoundrel Fan Zhe ruin his son’s future!


How could he accept this?


Peng!


Fan Zhe swiftly raised his arms to protect himself, but the imposing might of the other party’s fist still knocked him back several steps, and fresh blood spurted from his mouth once more.


“Don’t treat me as a pushover just because I’ve been holding back all this time!” Fan Zhe bellowed as he began driving his divine energy.


He knew that this matter could not be resolved amicably anymore, and he might really lose his life if this went on. So, he had made up his mind to retaliate.


As a middle-tier Celestial G.o.d realm master teacher, while his fighting experience paled in comparison to the Silver Armored General, his fighting prowess was still not to be underestimated.


Peng peng!


The two of them rushed at one another and exchanged blows, only to find that they were equally matched with one another. The rebound caused both of them to retreat simultaneously, and the shockwave shattered many chairs in the room.


“I swear on my family’s name that I’ll send you down the pits of h.e.l.l today!” the Silver Armored General roared ferociously.


Facing such a tenacious opponent, Fan Zhe did not dare to hold back at all. He quickly took out his sword and drove his divine energy to its limits.


Just as the two of them were about to go for a second round, a voice sounded by the side. “Please hold it a moment. Could you allow me to examine the condition of the wounded young man over there to see if I am able to treat him before the two of you continue with your fight?”


Everyone quickly turned their sights over, only to see a young man walking over with a plump man following behind him.


“You wish to treat him? His meridians have already deviated as a result of his cultivation going berserk. How do you intend to treat him?” Yu Feng harrumphed.


“You are…” Fan Zhe asked doubtfully upon seeing that someone actually dared to step up at such a juncture.


“I am Zhang Xuan. I have dabbled in medicine a little in my pastime. While my skills may pale in comparison to Physician Yu Feng, I have experience treating a cultivator whose cultivation went berserk. I think I know of a way to treat that young man,” Zhang Xuan said.


He could tell that someone would really be killed at this rate, so he could not help but step forward.


He did not like getting involved in matters that did not concern him, but no matter what, he still identified himself as a master teacher. After hearing about what Fan Zhe had done, he felt deeply uncomfortable leaving things as they were.


After saying those words, he walked straight up to Zhuo Yan without bothering to wait for the responses of those two.


Zhuo Yan appeared to be seventeen or eighteen this year, but his face was a slightly sickly yellow color. Due to the immense pain he was in, his face was covered in cold sweat


Zhang Xuan placed his finger on the young man’s pulse and infused his divine energy into the young man’s body to conduct a preliminary scan.


A moment later, he retracted his finger.


Just as Yu Feng had mentioned earlier, Zhuo Yan’s cultivation had gone berserk, and that had inflicted tremendous damage to his body. A lot of his meridians had collapsed, causing his divine energy to leak all over his body and harm his internal organs.


The Silver Armored General had probably used many precious pills in order to prevent his son’s condition from deteriorating further. If not for that, his son might have died by now.


Given so, it was understandable why the Silver Armored General was so enraged. There was no one in his place who would not be.


“Do you have any ideas in mind?” the Silver Armored General asked.


He did not bear much hope in Zhang Xuan after seeing how young the latter was, but given the state his son was already in, he could only grasp at every straw of hope available to him.


“I do have an idea in mind, but it’s just that…” Zhang Xuan spoke hesitantly.


“I’m willing to pay any price as long as you are able to bring my son back to how he was!”


Misunderstanding the intention behind Zhang Xuan’s pause, the Silver Armored General immediately took out a card and pa.s.sed it over.


“There are one hundred Divine Coins in this card. All I ask of you is to do your best for my son. As long as he’s cured, I’ll pay you ten times what is already in the card for your service!”


All in all, the Silver Armored General was offering Zhang Xuan one thousand Divine Coins to cure his son. This was a hefty sum even going by the standards of Drifting Specter Royal City.


Those words caused the crowd in the area to gasp in astonishment.


“I won’t be accepting your money. Please take it back.” Zhang Xuan shook his head.


He could understand why Fan Zhe wanted to hold supplementary lessons to build up his wealth.


Ever since the receding of spiritual energy, all lifeforms of the Firmament flocked over to the cities, causing housing prices and the average cost of living to rise exponentially.


A great amount of money and resources were required if one wanted to live a good life. Furthermore, the parents were often willing to pay more than what was required as long as it was to the benefit of the children, which had led to Fan Zhe succ.u.mbing to the temptation.


If not for how readily others were giving him things, Fan Zhe probably would not have thought of starting supplementary cla.s.ses and the like.


After rejecting the Silver Armored General, Zhang Xuan turned his attention back to Zhuo Yan and instructed, “Execute a punch. I want to see if you are still able to drive your divine energy.”


Zhuo Yan was a little hesitant, but seeing that Zhang Xuan’s att.i.tude was amiable and his eyes were clear, he chose to ensure the pain and raised his arm to execute a punch.


Weng!


A book was compiled in the Library of Heaven’s Path.


“Zhuo Yan, a citizen of Drifting Specter Royal City, low-tier G.o.d. Due to a mistake made in his cultivation, his cultivation went berserk…”


Soon enough, Zhang Xuan finished reading the entire book and shook his head.


It turned out that the anger of the Silver Armored General was not unfounded. The reason Zhuo Yan had ended up in his current condition really had much to do with his teacher, Fan Zhe.


“How is it?” the Silver Armored General asked worriedly upon seeing Zhang Xuan’s response.


“His condition doesn’t look too good, but I think I should be able to cure him,” Zhang Xuan replied with a rea.s.suring smile.


“You are able to cure him?” The Silver Armored General slowly widened his eyes before clasping his fist together in agitation. “Please, save my son. I’m willing to do anything for you as long as he can be well again!”


“There’s no need to be so polite. I’ll do my best.”


With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out several silver needles before instructing Zhuo Yan, “Bear with it and don’t resist it by any means.”


Then, he released all the silver needles into Zhuo Yan’s acupoints.


The latter was still wondering what was going on when he suddenly felt a numbing sensation was.h.i.+ng all over his body. After that, a peculiar energy flowed into his body.


As this peculiar energy circulated around him, the meridians that had collapsed as a result of his cultivation going berserk swiftly reconstructed themselves, reverting to their previous state.


“This…”


Zhuo Yan widened his eyes in disbelief.


He might be young, but having come from a general’s clan, he had seen and heard of many things. With the collapse of his meridians after his cultivation went berserk, he subconsciously knew that he was already ruined. Putting aside recovering to his previous state, what he should be worrying about was how long he could live…


But with just a few needles, the person before him was actually able to reconstruct his meridians. Not only so, the divine energy that had diffused all over his body was also gradually regathering in his dantian!


It was so inconceivable that he could hardly believe that such a thing was really happening to him!


The Silver Armored General keenly noticed the bizarre look in his son’s eyes after the silver needles were inserted into his body, so he quickly asked worriedly, “How are you feeling?”


“Father, I think… I have recovered…”


As he spoke, the feeble Zhuo Yan slowly stood up and a.s.sumed a combat pose.


Hu hu hu hu!


In the blink of an eye, he executed a powerful fist technique that caused wind to blow around the lecture hall. “A-are my eyes playing tricks on me?”


“He was able to recover just by putting a few needles into his body?”


“This is unbelievable! I have never seen anything like this before…”


The crowd was stunned.


They had seen the severity of Zhuo Yan’s condition earlier, and even the esteemed Physician Yu Feng had given a pessimistic diagnosis. They had thought that Zhuo Yan was already crippled for good, but who could have thought that the latter would recover with just a few simple needles?


Not only so, it even seemed like the young man was more vigorous than before!


This was unbelievable!


“Brother Zhang, this is…”


The Silver Armored General was stunned as well.


If not for the fact that the patient was his son, and he had tried all sorts of means to cure him, he would really wonder if those two were working together to make a fool out of him!


Zhang Xuan stood up and said, “I have channeled his diffused divine energy back into his dantian, and I have also repaired his collapsed meridians.”


Fan Zhe and Yu Feng’s eyebrows flew around the place.


A person’s cultivation going berserk meant that the energy in their body had turned violent and gone into disarray. To be able to tame such violent energy and repair the collapsed meridians as well… How in the world was this being done?


“Since you were able to treat him so quickly, I reckon that you know the reason behind why his cultivation went berserk. I taught him in the same manner as the other students, and none of them have faced any trouble so far. Why would it be different for his case?” Fan Zhe asked.


If he could not get to the bottom of his matter, he would have to live with the label of an incompetent teacher.


“I do know why his cultivation went berserk,” Zhang Xuan said. “Do you really want to know?”


“Yes, I would like to know.” Fan Zhe nodded.


The others in the lecture hall also looked over attentively.


They also found it hard to believe that a person’s cultivation could go berserk just by cultivating the most fundamental cultivation technique. If they could learn the reason behind it, they could take precautions against it in the future.


“It has something to do with the supplementary lessons you held,” Zhang Xuan said.


“The supplementary lessons?” Fan Zhe was confused.


Zhang Xuan turned to the Silver Armored General and said, “This is my first time meeting this Silver Armored General, but based on what I have observed so far, it seems like you are very anxious to see your son succeed in life. You hope that he will become an expert just like you.”


The middle-aged man nodded in agreement, not denying the matter at all.


As a general of Drifting Specter Royal City, he carried great influence and prestige within the city. Everyone thought that his son would move on to do great things as well, but who could have thought that his son’s talent would be so lacking as to be unable to even clear the entrance examinations of most academies?


It was inevitable that the Silver Armored General would feel anxious and attempt to push his child forward.


The fact that he had sent his child here and had him attend all kinds of supplementary lessons was evidence of that. He hoped that his child could become a Celestial G.o.d and carry on the family’s name.


The Silver Armored General was initially delighted to see his son’s cultivation rising to that of a low-tier G.o.d, but he did not expect his son’s cultivation to go berserk just for a minor breakthrough from low-tier G.o.d to middle-tier G.o.d, even nearly losing his life.
