Capítulo 680: Chapter 85: The Soul Masters of the Sun-Moon Empire Are Paper Tigers_2
She could tell that this youngster was mocking her for being outdated, for teaching with philosophies that even the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy no longer used.
For her, this was a huge insult, unbearable.
If this kid couldn't come up with a good explanation, today she would have him expelled, sending him back wherever the hell he came from.
Teacher Zhou had quietly made up her mind; she must eliminate Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao shrugged helplessly, "I'm just stating the facts."
"Hahaha, what 'facts' indeed." Teacher Zhou couldn't help laughing in anger, "Then tell me, how does your academy train its students?"
"Train students?" Qin Xiao shook his head, "We don't 'train' them either."
"Pfft."
At his words, Teacher Zhou laughed out loud, "That's just hilarious, no wonder you don't use such methods. Right, a bunch of noble and pampered Soul Masters wouldn't be able to endure hardships. I really shouldn't have expected anything."
Sarcasm.
This was naked sarcasm.
Meng Hongchen was getting anxious again, wanting to argue with Teacher Zhou.
But.
Qin Xiao spoke even faster than she could.
Qin Xiao appeared genuinely puzzled, "Why use such methods to train? Not only are they inefficient, but they also waste time. There are clearly better ways, only a fool would do that."
"Boy, are you asking for death?"
Teacher Zhou felt insulted again.
"Not at all."
Facing Teacher Zhou's threat, Qin Xiao shook his head indifferently, "Don't you guys take medicinal pills?"
"Medicinal pills?"
Everyone was taken aback by his remark.
"That's right, some pills can enhance Soul Power, some can improve physique, and some can increase the strength of one's body. Any single medicinal improvement would require dozens or even hundreds of training sessions to achieve, saving a lot of time..."
The people around, as they listened, began to look more and more bizarre.
Popping pills...
You should know, most medicinal pills on the market start at a few hundred golden soul coins each, with better ones costing thousands.
What kind of families can afford pills all the time?
Many of them came from quite wealthy backgrounds, but none were so extravagant as to rely on pills for cultivation.
Teacher Zhou's face also went through a series of changes.
There was no denying that what Qin Xiao said was correct.
Taking pills tailored to one's needs certainly solved problems.
But that was not something just anyone could afford...
"Are you all Soul Masters?"
She asked subconsciously.
Only Soul Masters with deep pockets could afford to pop pills regularly without concern.
But after she asked, she felt a bit regretful. Wasn't it obvious... which student at the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy wasn't a Soul Master?
Meng Hongchen and Qin Xiao nodded simultaneously.
Qin Xiao added without hesitation, "Just selling one soul tool could support medicine for a while. In our view as Soul Masters, compared to training, taking pills is more cost-effective."
This damn...
Even if you wanted to take pills, you'd need the means to do so.
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, the students from class one for first-years felt a mix of emotions.
However... given the choice, they too wished they could enhance their strength with pills.
Are they envious? Teacher Zhou noticed the change in the students' expressions, and her heart skipped a beat.
She realized something problematic about Qin Xiao's words; they were unsettling the students' state of mind.
If she agreed with Qin Xiao now, it wouldn't be conducive to teaching.
"Hmph."
She suddenly snorted, attracting everyone's attention.
"Relying on medicinal pills for cultivation is ultimately external assistance, not one's own. It's nothing more than forcing the growth, not worth mentioning."
"Only through self-exercise, step by step, the cultivation and strength accumulated are truly and genuinely one's own," Teacher Zhou said, her gaze sharp like a knife, harshly sweeping across everyone's face.
Whoever met her gaze promptly lowered their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.
Good, very good, this was the effect she wanted.
Watching everyone's reactions, Zhou Yi imperceptibly nodded her head, very satisfied in her heart.
However, when her gaze fell on Qin Xiao's face, she noticed a flash of disdainful smile on his face, which disappeared in an instant.
What does this mean? Is he looking down on me?
Zhou Yi was instantly infuriated.
It had been a long time since she had seen such a look.
"Boy, you think you're not convinced?"
"I just think that everything exists for a reason, Teacher Zhou. There is no need to trample one and elevate another," Qin Xiao replied indifferently.
In fact, he was aware that Shrek Academy didn't really look down on using medicinal pills to enhance one's cultivation level.
Otherwise, they would have forbidden all students and teachers from using elixirs long ago.
But what's the reality?
Xu Sanshi, Beibei, those with families and backgrounds, who among them hasn't taken Mysterious Water Pills or Soul-raising Pills?
There is also Dean Yan Shaozhe of Shrek Martial Soul Department.
In the original story, after Huo Yuhao was injured by Ma Xiaotao, Headmaster Yan immediately offered a Soul-raising Pill as compensation.
If elixirs were truly harmful, the headmaster of Shrek wouldn't offer them to harm the students, right?
So the truth is, Shrek Academy also didn't want to invest a significant amount of medicinal pills in cultivating their outer court students.
Only the true inner court students could enjoy better treatment and cultivate with the aid of elixirs.
But since they always preached about hard work and down-to-earth cultivation, saying that a Soul Master who took shortcuts with pills was as fragile as paper and worth nothing... so the students who took pills couldn't say they did, nor could they proclaim any benefits of pills, otherwise, wouldn't that greatly diverge from Shrek Academy's teaching principle?
Wouldn't that be like slapping their own face?
"Nonsense!"
Zhou Yi became even more enraged.
What is this guy's attitude?
What does he mean by trampling one and elevating another? Isn't this statement blatantly implying that I'm a hypocrite!
To maintain her own dignity, she had to counter.
She stared at Qin Xiao and said coldly, "Since you put it that way, I would like to see what benefits you've gained from taking pills. Tell me, what is your current level?"
In their class, the outstanding students had already reached level 30.
For example, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had already reached this level.
If Qin Xiao was of the same level, or just slightly higher than these two, she was ready to launch into mockery.
But, while ideals are full, reality is skinny.
Qin Xiao replied without hesitation, leaving Zhou Yi shocked.
"I am level 43. Is there a problem?"
"What level?" Zhou Yi's pupils contracted as she asked again.
This result was somewhat different from what she had expected.
This time, Meng Hongchen replied, "My Uncle Master said he's level 43. Is there a problem?"
Zhou Yi didn't pay attention to Meng Hongchen's defiant attitude and asked, "How old is he this year?"
I know this one... A thought struck Meng Hongchen, and she answered again, "Thirteen years old."
Thirteen years old, level 43...
Hiss.
Zhou Yi took a sharp breath upon hearing this.
At Shrek Academy, there were plenty of people who took pills; she knew about it.
There were those like Xu Sanshi and Beibei.
But even those of such status and background hadn't achieved what Qin Xiao had.
"Coming from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, they are all Soul Masters. This means this thirteen-year-old boy mainly focuses on soul tool research rather than Martial Soul cultivation."
"He's a genius. If he were to focus on cultivation, who knows what level he could reach."
"Thirteen years old, level 43, even if his cultivation level was achieved with pills, that's still pretty astonishing."
"I think everyone shouldn't be too surprised. I've heard that the Soul Masters from Sun-Moon Empire cultivate like they are cotton. Without soul tools, they are practically indistinguishable from paper mache."
"So what about taking pills? A Soul Ancestor achieved by pill-taking is still a Soul Ancestor, isn't it? Does that make them weaker than a Soul Elder? Moreover, he is a Soul Master, who mainly uses soul tools. His true combat strength should be no less than that of a pure Soul Ancestor, right?"
Surprised voices from the first-year Class 1 students kept coming from behind Zhou Yi.
They were truly astonished by Qin Xiao's achievements.
And Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were wearing expressions of sudden realization.
They now understood why Qin Xiao had been chosen by the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Master Academy.
A Soul Ancestor's cultivation level, in many academies' teams, would be that of a main player. As a substitute, he was more than qualified.
