Chapter 804: Sun Yuan's Mental Breakdown
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
As Academic Credits were the currency of the academy, their distribution had to be regulated to avoid inflation . Thus, every ten years, the ten schools would be given a set number of Academic Credits to distribute to the students .
The amount was determined by many factors, such as the total number of students in the school, the number of occupation promotions in recent years, the accomplishments of its students…
As the fifth largest school in the academy, judging from recent history, it would usually be given at least a hundred thousand Academic Credits to distribute for the following ten years .
As students spent their Academic Credits on using the services of the Physician School, such as accessing the library or purchasing valuable herbs in the school, the Physician School would earn back the Academic Credits, forming a mini economy in itself .
Given that Zhang Xuan could cause the Wall of Dilemma to be unable to process the distribution of Academic Credits, resulting in a severe error that caused its collapse… That could only mean to say that the Academic Credits he had earned exceeded a hundred thousand!
That was the entire budget the Physician School had to live off for the next ten years!
And yet, it was gone in an instant…
If there aren't enough Academic Credits for the teachers to distribute to the students as rewards for the missions and tasks… Darn it, the Physician School is in deep trouble… Realizing the implications of Zhang Xuan's actions, Sun Yuan's mouth twitched violently, and he nearly burst into tears .
His teacher, You Xu, happened to be in charge of regulating the distribution of Academic Credits in the Physician School . For ten years' worth of Academic Credits to be earned by a single individual… This meant that they had no more Academic Credits to award to the other students!
Earning Academic Credits was no easy task . Students had to undergo laborious tasks or life-threatening missions just to earn a couple of them . If they were to realize that they would be awarded nothing at the end of their efforts…
At this moment, Sun Yuan could already see the huge pandemonium that would arise due to the displeased students!
Furthermore, the distribution of the Academic Credits was a major affair concerning the development of the students . If the Physician School was unable to compensate its students properly for their efforts, that would be flouting of the rules of the academy as well . As the vice school head in charge of its regulation, his teacher would surely be severely punished!
Sun Yuan had thought that the fellow would rush to the Blacksmith School to complain to School Head Zhao, but who knew that just by challenging a Wall of Dilemma, he had already managed to corner his teacher!
Without a doubt, students would start withdrawing from the Physician School due to this matter, and its overall prowess would fall rapidly . Perhaps, by the end of this decade, they might very well be the last place among the ten schools .
And for allowing such an incident to happen under his watch, his teacher would indubitably be stripped of his responsibilities .
"Indeed!" Having realized this much as well, Hu shi also had a bitter smile on his face .
"Right, where is Zhang Xuan? Why isn't he here?"
At this moment, Sun Yuan suddenly realized that the culprit of this mess had disappeared, so he couldn't help but ask .
"Zhang Xuan? After clearing the Wall of Dilemma, he headed straight for the Malady Platform…" Hu shi said .
Realizing that it was possible that Zhang Xuan wasn't quite done yet, Sun Yuan's body trembled in apprehension at what that could potentially happen next . Fearfully, he asked, "Malady Platform? What is he going to do there?"
"The Malady Platform has a unique mechanism that allows physicians to experience illnesses themselves so that they could better understand its symptoms, and they can also treat themselves so as to verify the effectiveness of their proposed treatment method… If he is heading there, I guess he should be trying to assess his current proficiency in the Way of Medicine," Hu shi replied .
The Malady Platform allowed a physician to put themselves in the shoes of the patients to better understand what they would be going through, thus building compassion within them for those who were suffering . At the same time, through verifying their treatment methods here, they could avoid mistreating their patients .
"Since he was able to overcome even the Wall of Dilemma, does he really need to verify his proficiency in the Way of Medicine?" Sun Yuan rolled his eyes .
The Wall of Dilemma was already the most difficult test in the entire Physician School . Given that Zhang Xuan was able to solve over five hundred illnesses within five minutes, would he still need to verify his proficiency in the Way of Medicine at the Malady Platform?
"This… Crap!" At this moment, Hu shi also realized what was going on .
Just as he was about to rush over with Sun Yuan, a loud rumbling suddenly echoed from afar, and smoke could be seen rising in the distance . It seemed something else had collapsed too .
Sun Yuan mouth twitched uncontrollably . "That's where the Malady Platform is! Let's hurry over to take a look…"
With Hu shi and a few others, they hurriedly rushed to the Malady Platform, and the sight before them upon reaching it left them staggering weakly .
At this moment, the massive building housing the Malady Platform was reduced to ruins, and a middle-aged man was looking at the rubble with a dazed look .
"Zhou shi, what happened?" Sun Yuan hurried forward to ask .
Zhou shi was also a direct disciple of Vice School Head You Xu, Sun Yuan's disciple . He was in charge of maintaining the Malady Platform .
"A student said that he wanted to verify a new treatment method he had, so I allowed him to enter after paying the required Academic Credits . Who knew that… within three minutes of his entry, this happened…" Zhou shi's face was pale, and his lips was quivering in agitation .
Knowing that this wasn't the time to be concerned about the collapse of the Malady Platform, Sun Yuan asked anxiously, "What is the freshman called… and where is he now?"
"I believe his name is Zhang Xuan, and from the direction in which he was heading… I think he's going to the 'Ancestor Forest'!" Zhou shi replied .
"Ancestor Forest?" Sun Yuan was taken aback . "The Ancestor Forest is a place where the will of the predecessors lingers alongside their tombstones . Engraved on their tombs are the most outstanding feats they achieved in their lives and how they had achieved them . It serves as an inspiration to the later generation to learn from their example and their wisdom . Why would Zhang Xuan head there…"
If the Wall of Dilemma and Malady Platform were premises to verify one's expertise as a physician and earn Academic Credits, the Ancestor Forest would be a place to admire and worship the predecessors .
All renowned physicians of the Master Teacher Academy would have a tombstone erected for them there . The illnesses which they had discovered a cure for, along with the cure itself, would be inscribed on their tombstones alongside their name so that the later generations could admire their work…
It was nothing more than a platform to motivate the current students, and there was not a single Academic Credit that could be earned there . Why would Zhang Xuan head there?
"I think we should still go over to take a look," Hu shi said .
"Yes!" Sun Yuan nodded in agreement .
Even though they couldn't see how Zhang Xuan could break anything in the Ancestor Forest—the Ancestor Forest had absolutely nothing to do with tests or Academic Credits—there was simply something extraordinary about him that it would be unwise to gauge him via common sense . It was still best for them to take a look themselves .
As such, they rushed off to the Ancestor Forest, but as usual, before they could reach their destination, the ground shook intensely, and the sound of countless tombstones shattering sounded .
The violent shaking caused even cracks to appear on the ground, and even the resilient Tower of Physicians was shaking violently .
