Chapter 76: The Student Who Went Berserk

This student who went berserk was an event that had already happened and could not be changed.

No matter how much you said, no matter how eloquent you were, it was useless!

Elder Shangchen knew about the teaching assessment matter. No matter how he explained now, others wouldn't believe him. Even if he produced the exam papers, others would suspect forgery, so he directly brought up this incident.

“This…”

Zhang Xuan indeed didn't know how to respond.

“Hmph, are you thinking of denying it? Teacher Bai Yu, go fetch Zhao Yanfeng from Teacher Lu Xun's class!” Elder Shangchen said.

Bai Yu was the teacher on duty that week, and Zhao Yanfeng was the student who had gone berserk in Zhang Xuan's class.

“This student… how did he end up in Teacher Lu's class?”

Hearing Shangchen's arrangement, everyone looked over in surprise, and even Zhang Xuan was bewildered.

According to his predecessor's memories, this berserk fellow had never come to his class since the incident. His predecessor, out of shame, had never inquired either. When did he go to Teacher Lu Xun's class?

Besides, who was Teacher Lu Xun?

He was the top star teacher at Hongtian Academy. Even Elder Mo said he had a chance to become a star teaching assistant. Countless students wanted to study under him, so many that he couldn't pick them all. Why would he accept a student who had gone berserk under someone else?

“Zhao Yanfeng went berserk, severely damaging his foundation. He was about to drop out, but Teacher Lu Xun saw him and took him as a student. After a few months of guidance and recuperation, not only have his hidden problems been completely resolved, but his strength has also reached the peak of the Warrior First Layer, Gathering Breath Realm, and he is about to break through at any moment!”

Elder Shangchen said.

“Taken as a student by Teacher Lu Xun? What incredible luck!”

“To eliminate the hidden dangers of going berserk in such a short time and even improve his cultivation, Teacher Lu Xun is truly remarkable!”

…

Hearing Elder Shang's words, everyone was shocked.

Going berserk causes great damage to a cultivator, easily harming their foundation. It's like building a house: if the foundation isn't laid properly, the structure above can't be built high.

To be able to heal a student who had gone berserk so quickly and help him advance to the peak of the Gathering Breath Realm—this Teacher Lu Xun truly lived up to his reputation!

Before long, the duty teacher Bai Yu brought a student over.

He looked about sixteen or seventeen, slightly thin but full of energy.

His predecessor's former unfortunate student… Zhao Yanfeng!

“Elder Shang!”

Entering the room and seeing so many people, Zhao Yanfeng was full of confusion as he approached Elder Shang.

“Mm, Zhao Yanfeng, do you recognize this person?” Elder Shangchen pointed over.

Zhao Yanfeng turned to look and finally noticed Zhang Xuan. His originally calm face instantly became filled with agitation, his fists clenched involuntarily, as if he was barely suppressing his anger.

“He is my former teacher, Zhang Xuan!”

He almost gritted his teeth as he said these words.

From his expression, it was clear he still held a great grudge against Zhang Xuan.

And rightly so. When a student follows a teacher to learn, they trust unconditionally, entrusting their fate in cultivation to the teacher. If the teacher is irresponsible, it is equivalent to destroying the student's future!

Especially his predecessor had caused the other party to suffer a qi deviation, nearly crippling him, which was practically a deep-seated hatred. If it weren't for the fact that he was a teacher, they might have come to blows!

"I heard that before, he taught you into a qi deviation. Is that true?"

Seeing his expression, Elder Shang felt secretly pleased and continued to ask.

"It is true! Fortunately, Lu Xun saved me, otherwise I would have become a cripple!" said Zhao Yanfeng.

"Very good!" Hearing his confirmation, Elder Shangchen asked no more. He turned to Elder Mo and Huang Yu, his face full of ferocity: "Assistant Huang, Elder Mo, you heard the conversation just now, didn't you! Let's set aside the matter of the teacher qualification assessment for now; right and wrong will be clear sooner or later! But as for teaching a student into a qi deviation, the victim is right here. If you have any doubts, you can continue to ask! As a teacher, causing a student to suffer a qi deviation—this alone is enough to disqualify him!"

"Uh..."

Huang Yu and Elder Mo exchanged glances, each frowning.

What the other said was correct. A teacher imparts knowledge and resolves doubts, guiding students forward. Teaching a student into a qi deviation—this alone was the gravest offense. Even if they wanted to help Teacher Zhang, they were powerless.

"Teacher Zhang, do you have anything to say now? If you feel wronged, you can defend yourself, but it depends on whether Zhao Yanfeng here agrees!"

Seeing the two silent, Elder Shangchen finally avenged his earlier humiliation. He turned to Zhang Xuan, his tone full of mockery.

What did it matter if he was strong? What did it matter if he won the academic interrogation?

As long as he had this leverage, Zhang Xuan would lose his teaching qualification. Once he lost that protective talisman, he could be dealt with however one pleased!

He could even be killed, and no one would say much!

Elder Shangchen had brought the victim, and the other party had confirmed the matter. Everyone's gaze focused on Zhang Xuan, wanting to see his reaction.

Just as everyone thought he would explain the situation and justify himself, the young man casually waved his hand: "Wronged? What is there to be wronged about? I did indeed teach him into a qi deviation!"

"I knew you would quibble, but Zhao Yanfeng will recount the situation in detail... Ah?" Elder Shangchen, expecting the other to argue, had prepared his words. Before he could finish, he suddenly realized and looked over in disbelief: "You... you admit it?"

This... he admitted too quickly!

Could there be some trick?

He had been frightened by the other party; several consecutive slaps in the face had left him with a shadow.

"Of course I admit it. Why wouldn't I admit to something I did?"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Teaching into a qi deviation was done by his predecessor, so he naturally couldn't escape responsibility. Rather than waste words here, it was better to be straightforward.

"This..."

The surrounding crowd was also stunned.

Admitting it meant it was fact, and the Teacher's Guild could file a case and revoke his teaching qualification.

Moreover, teaching a student into a qi deviation was not a glorious thing. To be so confident... where did he get his confidence?

"Since you admit it, good! Assistant Huang, Elder Mo, you heard it, right? As a teacher, he caused a student to suffer a qi deviation, showed no remorse, and was even so brazen. This kind of person is unworthy to be a teacher..."

Elder Shangchen roared through gritted teeth, but before he could finish, Zhang Xuan came over and waved his hand: "Alright, it's no big deal, stop nagging! At your age, getting so worked up, aren't you afraid your heart can't take it and you'll die here?"

"You..."

Elder Shangchen staggered.

You're the one who gets worked up, your whole family gets worked up!

"Zhao Yanfeng, you're now studying under Teacher Lu Xun? You must have made some progress. Come, throw a couple of punches for me to see!"

Ignoring the furious Elder Shang, Zhang Xuan looked at the young man not far away.
