Shen Zhe couldn’t think of anything else when Xin Qi asked him.
Xin Qi felt that he was passing out due to anger.
“To avoid getting a zero?”
“Do you have no better goals?”
“What can you do after your graduation if your grade is so terrible? Do you have no plans for your future at all?”
“I said before the quiz that I would forgive you if you scored more than sixty points… Since you only have three points, you will take two slaps from me!”
Calming himself down, Xin Qi wasted no time talking to the bad student and gathered power in his palm.
While he was a Druggist and fighting was not his strongest suit, he was on par with level-one Mages and Martial Artists anyway. A storm seemed to be rising in the classroom, giving everyone enormous pressure.
Shen Zhe’s face cramped.
He knew that if the teacher did hit him, he would be terribly wounded even though he had reached the seventh stage of body polishing.
“Wait…”
Raising his head, Shen Zhe said stubbornly, “Sir, let me ask you… Can your standard answer melt the Masculine Sun Grass and the Purification White Lotus without any herbal catalyst?”
Seeing that the student was not embarrassed but questioned him instead, Xin Qi was even angrier, “Are you doubting the validity of my answer?”
“He’s doing it again…”
Ling Xueru’s lips twitched.
The other students in the class were also stunned.
Shen Zhe was bold enough to challenge Ms. Bai Yu the previous day, and he was challenging Mr. Xin Qi just then…
Since when had the bad students become so confident?
For a while, everybody wondered whether or not Shen Zhe was the actual genius who had been laying low.
“Of course not!” said Shen Zhe, “But my answer can perfectly melt the two herbs. I’ve even tried it myself!”
“Have you?” Xin Qi frowned, “You claim that you can melt those two herbs perfectly without any herbal catalyst?”
The Masculine Sun Grass and the Purification White Lotus had covert effects that would be compromised by herbal catalysts. It was the reason why Xin Qi had been studying how to melt them without any herbal catalysts.
He had run more than a hundred experiments, all being unsuccessful.
But the student who scored three points said that he successfully integrated them…
How was it possible?
“Yes!” Shen Zhe nodded.
Seeing how certain he was, Xin Qi read the answer more carefully.
He focused on the grade just then and didn’t really notice what the answer was.
His lips twitched as he read the answer.
It wasn’t refining at all but more like cooking…
By common sense, it couldn’t work at all!
“Wait… The master of refining yesterday…”
He suddenly thought of something.
After the master of refining made a perfect herb liquid the other day, the room was full of smoke and had the smell of barbecue. Was that the method what he used?
Was it possible that the master Xin Qi had been looking for was the student who had the last place of the school?
However, it was too great a deal for him to jump to any conclusions. He had to confirm it first.
Thinking about that, Xin Qi paused for a moment and asked, “You wrote that oil and pepper powder had to be added. What about other seasonings?”
Shen Zhe considered for a moment and replied, “The product will taste better if soy sauce and vinegar are added at the right moment!”
“…”
All the other students looked at each other as if stunned.
Wasn’t the discussion about how he got three points?
Wasn’t he going to be taught a lesson?
Why was he talking about pepper powder, soy sauce, and vinegar?
“I’m hungry…”
Wang Qing swallowed. He was starving.
To sleep more in the morning, he didn’t have any breakfast. When pepper powder was mentioned, he immediately thought of a delicious barbecue and couldn’t hold it back anymore.
“It’s true!”
Ignoring the other students’ shock, Xin Qi grew solemn.
