“How is this possible?”
Instructor Du stared at the blooming narcissus flower stupidly. Disbelief was br.i.m.m.i.n.g in his eyes.
The more one learned about biology, the more they would be stunned by the development. An ordinary person would brush it off as some kind of magic trick and an uneducated country hillbilly might have thought it was a miracle performed by G.o.d. However, the scientists knew this was neither magic nor a divine intervention.
It was possible to let a Narcissus flower bloom outside of its natural blooming season by controlling many factors such as temperature, water quality, etc. However, reviving a dead plant and letting the flower bloom was entirely a different story.
“The core of the Biology study was life. However, you knew nothing about life.”
Chen Fan said as he locked his gaze on Instructor Du. Seeing Instructor Du had been rendered speechless, he scanned the room and asked: “Who else has any questions?”
A silence fell over the room as everyone was shocked by the development.
Not even the wildest breakthrough theory they had read on scientific journals could compare to the stunning effect of what was happening before their eyes.
“Well, I will continue the cla.s.s if there are no other questions.”
As Chen Fan carried on, more people started to understand the basic concept that Chen Fan was getting at. What Chen Fan was teaching was a branch of modern biology. The subjects perfected blended the modern biology and that of post-modern and Chen Fan delivered with easy-to-understand language. Although the scope of the cla.s.s was within the broad umbrella of biology, the depth and breadth of the topic was substantially larger than the topics of current biology research.
Even those old professors who had been about to leave the cla.s.sroom came back to their seats and listened to Chen Fan’s teaching like devoted pupils.
“Ah-Ha! That’s why my gene editing experiments failed so many times!”
“No, no, no… This part is the exact opposite of what Mario Capecchi proposed.”
“His theory is at least a few decades ahead of our current understanding of biology. No one ever conducted any experiments to prove his theory yet.”
The old professors listened attentively. Some were smiling, some furrowed their brows and some was so stunned that they could only stare.
The other instructors and students alike were all rendered speechless.
“Professor Chen really is an expert in biology!”
“Indeed! I had thought he was a fraud. Little did I know that not only did he have tremendous experience in the field of biology, but also was extremely ingenious in his theories.”
“By the way, what was in that bottle of water anyways? How could it bring a dead plant back to life so quickly?”
Xue Jiao looked to Chen Fan in surprise. She had lost all of her hope and confidence in Chen Fan, however, Chen Fan was able to turn the tables and transform into a biology expert as easy as Clark Kent pulling off his s.h.i.+rt.
As she watched Chen Fan’s scintillating speech at the podium, she found it hard to make the connection between a man of such a young age with a well learned and reputable biology expert.
Han Dongyu had walked back to his seat and locked his gaze on Chen Fan. This was the first time in a long time that he felt his being threatened. He conceded that Chen Fan’s knowledge in biology had far exceeded his. However, the presence of a strong foe only ignited his will to fight.
“I will not be subjugated by him, not for Xue Jiao, but for my own honor”
Thus it was, Chen Beixuan knew nothing of modern biology, however, he knew a lot about postmodern biology. As the North Mystic Celestial Lord, he had traveled the universe for five hundred years and discovered many highly developed civilizations. Some of them had achieved an incredible level of development in biology and they leveraged their knowledge in biology to create powerful biological weapons that could rival a cultivator.
One civilization, in particular, found out a way to ma.s.s-produce Perfected Immortals of Dao Reunion level. However, before they could do that, the civilization was annihilated by the combined might of a few perfected immortal cultivators.
Chen Fan had stayed on that planet for a few years and was exposed to their advanced stage biology. Therefore, In his eyes, the biology on earth was unrefined and rudimentary.
“If I didn’t need the university’s special equipment to create the Catalyst Essence Serum, I would never need to go through the trouble of pretending to be a visiting professor”
Chen Fan lamented in his mind.
By then, Zhong Yaoyao’s eyes had turned into hearts and began to drool.
“OMG! Xiao Qiong, I think I am in love.”
“Aren’t you always?” Fang Qiong flung back at her.
She had suspected that the young professor was the same stranger that greeted her half a year ago. The young professor’s performance of a miracle had confirmed her suspicion.
By the end of the cla.s.s, not only was the cla.s.sroom packed with students, but also outside of the cla.s.sroom, in the hallway. Many students and teachers got the message from their friends and flocked to Chen Fan’s cla.s.s. Right before Chen Fan was about to dismiss the cla.s.s, Instructor Du finally asked again.
“Professor Chen, how exactly did you bring the narcissus flower back to life?”
“Ah-right, Professor Chen, please tell us, we have been wondering too!”
Many students pleaded while the other professors waited expectantly. Everyone was not only shocked by Chen Fan’s progressive theories in biology but also the incredible experiment he had performed earlier. After all, not just any biology expert could revive a dead plant.
“Have you heard of the Yun Wu Spirit Water?” Chen Fan asked the people around him.
“Yun Wu Spirit Water?”
Most people looked at each other confusedly. However, the name rang a bell in the minds of those students that came from well-off families. The biology professors also furrowed their brows. They had heard of such water but never had the chance of getting their hands on it due to its outrageous price.
“You mean the water that was worth a hundred thousand yuan a bottle?” Someone asked.
