After learning that Tang San had not received Ye Lingling's treatment.
Yu Xiaogang hurried out of the dormitory.
Tang San was the apple of his eye, the best candidate to prove his theories. If something happened to him, who would prove his theories?
After asking around in many places, Yu Xiaogang finally found the classroom where Ye Lingling was teaching.
With a loud bang, he forcefully shoved open the classroom doors.
"Teacher Ye, what right do you have to refuse treatment to Tang San?!"
Yu Xiaogang demanded.
Tang San was a genius student of the academy. If something had happened to him, Ye Lingling ought to be responsible.
Ye Lingling had no favorable impression of him. "Yu Xiaogang, please leave. This is a classroom."
"Have another teacher cover your class. Come with me and treat Tang San first." Yu Xiaogang's attitude was forceful.
"Grandmaster, please wait. We're in class. Teacher Ye is the only Healing-Type Soul Master in the academy. No other teacher can cover her class."
The student who spoke was a noble from Nuoding City. Yu Xiaogang's reputation for freeloading and idling away his days had long spread far and wide, and no one was willing to give him any face.
Moreover, most of the students in the classroom had reached level ten in Soul Power and were considering absorbing their First Soul Ring.
A Soul Master's First Soul Ring was extremely important and could basically determine their future development.
After all, more than ninety percent of people might only have one or two Soul Rings in their entire lives. They did not have five Soul Rings like Tang San to learn through trial and error.
The commotion in the classroom quickly drew the attention of the other teachers.
Quite a few teachers looked displeased when they saw Yu Xiaogang appear in the teaching area.
"Grandmaster, you are not a teacher of this academy. Please leave the teaching area immediately," an older teacher stepped forward and said.
"Tang San is your student, not Teacher Ye's. Grandmaster, you should leave. Don't make Director Han come after you." Mo Hen came over to persuade him.
"Hmph! Little San's injuries have yet to heal. If the best window for treatment is delayed, can you bear the responsibility?" Yu Xiaogang roared angrily.
Teacher Huang, who was on good terms with Han Yu, snapped back, "Yu Xiaogang, you asked Teacher Ye to treat your disciple, yet you even reneged on the five hundred Gold Soul Coin treatment fee. And you still have the nerve to ask Teacher Ye to act? I have never seen anyone so shameless."
Han Yu had brought up this matter while chatting in the office, so some of the teachers knew about it.
The noble student from earlier stepped forward as well. "Our family made its fortune by treating others. Anyone who defaults on payment will never receive treatment from us again, no matter how high a reward they offer in the future. I'll send word to my father right now. People of such corrupt character must be boycotted."
Though the student's words were somewhat harsh, many teachers felt the same way.
Yu Xiaogang ate and drank for free at the academy, and he usually pointed fingers at the teachers' work. It would be best if his reputation was completely ruined and he got out of Nuoding City.
"Impudence! I am the Dean's friend, and you dare speak to me like this? Fine, very fine!" Yu Xiaogang flew into a rage.
If not for his limited strength, he would definitely have taught these snobs a lesson.
"Leave the teaching area immediately." Teacher Huang sternly rebuked him.
Han Yu knew nothing about what had happened at the academy.
At that moment, he and Dean Pei Feng had arrived at Spirit Hall in Nuoding City.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, only some major cities had the Empire's Ministry of Education. In a small city like Nuoding City, anyone wishing to publish their theories had to go through Spirit Hall.
Of course, the relationship between Spirit Hall and the City Lord's Mansion in small cities was very harmonious, without the scheming and intrigue found in Heaven Dou City.
The original owner had been deeply devoted to researching martial soul theories. Combined with Han Yu's four years as a teacher, publishing a research report could be considered a fitting conclusion to this chapter of his life.
"Dean Pei, Director Han, what brings you here?" Lord Alto greeted the two with a smile.
Pei Feng laughed. "Haha, Director Han has made some progress in martial soul research and has come to publish a theory. I'm getting old. With young people like Director Han around, I can retire in peace before long."
"Director Han is truly young and promising. Quick, please come in. Those scholars in the hall have been idle these past few days."
Since it was not yet time for martial soul awakenings, the group of deacons, including Tao Ge, were resting in the hall.
As they passed Si Si's desk, Han Yu quickly turned away.
Because he had become a director, this woman had confessed her love to him countless times.
As a transmigrator, how could Han Yu dare steal Tao Ge's woman?
Still, Han Yu's status in Nuoding City was among the very best.
Other than the City Lord's Mansion and Spirit Hall, Nuoding Academy had the greatest number of Soul Masters.
Si Si was someone who chased power and status. Both the City Lord and the Lord of Spirit Hall were far too old; she had no desire to be with some old man. Han Yu's displayed talent practically marked him as the next Dean, so naturally, she wanted to seize the opportunity.
Unfortunately, no matter how eagerly she tried to please him, Han Yu had never once given her a proper glance.
Inside the research room.
After Lord Alto distributed Han Yu's theoretical findings, the scholars quickly began examining them.
The theories Han Yu submitted naturally concerned low-level Soul Masters. Of course, he would not plagiarize like Yu Xiaogang.
"Director Han, one point in your theory states that Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters can follow the path of Healing-Type Soul Masters. But I don't quite understand. Has Blue Silver Grass ever been used for healing?"
"Yes." Han Yu nodded. "The emperor among Blue Silver Grass is called the Blue Silver Emperor. Not long ago, when I was in the Star Dou Great Forest, I did not see the legendary Blue Silver Emperor, but I did see the king of the Blue Silver Grass clan. Its vines had healing effects on both Soul Beasts and humans. Human Soul Masters can likewise follow this path."
Han Yu had naturally proposed this theory based on Ah Yin's abilities.
The scholar flipped through the detailed experimental report Han Yu had written afterward. After pondering it for a moment, he nodded seriously.
This theory had not gone untested. There had once been a level-ten Blue Silver Grass Soul Master in the academy who, because he possessed a useless martial soul, had not wanted to spend money to absorb a Soul Ring.
Later, with Han Yu's help, he became a Healing-Type Soul Master and now worked in this very Spirit Hall.
If this theory could be promoted, there would be many more "doctors" across the continent.
Another scholar asked, "Teacher Han, one of your conjectures states that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are guaranteed to drop a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and one from a body part not already possessed. Your second conjecture is that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones provide two Soul Skills."
"May I ask whether you have any basis for this?"
Conjectures were necessary, as they provided later generations with directions for research.
Han Yu had no better ideas, so he simply chose this far-fetched conjecture.
Of course, to him, these conjectures were settled facts.
He possessed both a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and each had provided two Soul Skills.
But he did not dare say that. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I once read it in an ancient book, but I can't be certain. So I wanted later generations to give me an answer."
