utward. Fortunately, only some demons or spirits could hear this voice from Xiao Yu’s yin soul; otherwise, countless people would have been terrified at night.With Xiao Yu's words, a mysterious patter...Chapter 597: Class (1)

After Xiao Yu walked onto the stage, the originally noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. The students stared at Xiao Yu in surprise. Today, they had received a notification from their teacher that afternoon classes would not be held and instead, everyone was asked to attend this large class.

Their school often invited famous professors or experts under similar circumstances. If one did not participate, they risked losing credits, so students generally attended such classes.

Today, the students assumed a renowned professor would be teaching them, but after class started and no one appeared, they were surprised to see a young man walk onto the stage. Could this young person really be their teacher Given that it was an Oriental Medicine course, could he just be here to deceive them

The classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The students looked at each other in surprise.

"Oh, it's him! I know him. He’s two grades above us and is part of the basketball team, but they say his studies are terrible. Why is he teaching us now"

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence. Even though it was soft, in such an environment, every student heard it clearly.

When this student spoke, all eyes turned to Xiao Yu, who did not refute their words. Thus, the students knew that what they said was true.

In fact, although most of these students were freshmen, there were also older students present. They didn’t fear losing credits and so didn't attend much. Moreover, since Western Medicine was their main focus, they weren't very interested in this class on Oriental Medicine.

"Buzz… Buzz…" When the students saw that Xiao Yu did not deny it, chaos erupted in the classroom. Now, all they felt was that the school had tricked them by finding such a person to teach them

Only a few of the students remained calm and sat respectfully, waiting for Xiao Yu's lecture. These attentive listeners included participants from debates. When they first entered the room, they didn’t notice Xiao Yu sitting in front, but when he walked onto the stage, they recognized him.

Upon recognizing Xiao Yu, these individuals quietly picked up their belongings and moved to sit at the front. Although they weren't sure of Xiao Yu’s level, his presence on the judge's panel and his acquaintanceship with many judges meant that he could not be ignored.

Not only them, but in the corner, a few more people had packed up their belongings and were heading towards the front.

"Silence!!"

Xiao Yu stood on the platform, looking at the noisy classroom. His brows slightly furrowed as he softly shouted for silence. However, it seemed like his words did not have any effect as students continued to whisper and point at him from time to time.

"Silence!!!!!!"

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yu's originally slightly furrowed brows tightened before loosening again. He lightly circulated the righteous energy in his body and shouted once more from his throat.

This low shout was not loud at first, but as it reached the students' ears, it sounded like a series of muffled thunderclaps, causing their eardrums to vibrate. Thus, when Xiao Yu's voice fell silent, all the noisy students in the classroom covered their ears, and the previously noisy chatter came to an abrupt halt. Apart from the echo of Xiao Yu’s shout reverberating around, a strange silence fell upon the room.

After a while, the students in the class finally reacted, lifting their heads to look at Xiao Yu standing on the platform. The impact of his shout was significant; they all secretly thought, "This person has such abundant inner qi!"

Everyone had this thought, considering that the classroom was very large and his voice could make their eardrums vibrate. It was evident how strong it was.

Xiao Yu saw that everyone was quiet and cleared his throat, saying, "Hello, fellow students. Today's Traditional Chinese Medicine course will be taught by me. Among you sitting here, some may know me and have heard about my past. So I won't talk much today. Those who want to listen to my class can stay, while those who don’t can leave without having to give me any face."

After Xiao Yu spoke, he looked at the students. When these students hearing his words, they looked at each other in surprise; many wanted to leave but reconsidered and sat back down.

Xiao Yu saw their reactions and pondered for a moment before saying, "You can rest assured that no matter who leaves today, I won’t deduct any of your credits. Moreover, I’ll inform the school leadership not to deduct anyone’s academic points!"

Seeing those students who wanted to leave but dared not, Xiao Yu thought he knew why and thus promised them.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is not something one can learn overnight. Even the basics are not easy to grasp casually. To truly excel in TCM, one needs天賦, diligence, and most importantly, a heart that can endure loneliness. Therefore, for those who show such restlessness even at lectures, Xiao Yu has no intention of teaching them.

Such individuals will hardly benefit from the course anyway, so it doesn’t matter if they don't attend. Of course, if they choose to stay and listen, that's fine too.

The moment Xiao Yu finished speaking, the classroom erupted into chaos again. Suddenly, a student at the back stood up and asked: "Is what you said true Will we not lose credits"

"No loss of credits. I said there won't be any deduction, and there absolutely won’t be!" Upon hearing this student's question, Xiao Yu confirmed once more.

After hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the student didn’t say anything else but quickly packed up his belongings and rushed out.

The sight of the student leaving made other students who had been hesitantly waiting to leave cheer up and rush out as well.

This afternoon they did not have any other classes besides Xiao Yu’s, so everyone was excited. This meant that for today, their afternoon was off, allowing them to do whatever they pleased.

Gradually more students left until only half a dozen or so remained in the classroom.

"Anyone else wants to leave" Seeing so many people leaving, Xiao Yu remained calm and asked those who stayed behind.

The remaining students glanced at each other but no one moved out of the room.

Seeing that no more were leaving, Xiao Yu walked to the door and shut it. "Since you’ve chosen to stay for class, I hope you will take this seriously and strive to learn something useful, so as not to waste your time here."

"How can one truly excel in TCM Besides天賦and diligence, one needs patience to endure loneliness. Unlike Western Medicine where a few years of study followed by two years of hospital internships enable one to practice independently, TCM requires often decades of dedication to master. Hence, learning TCM demands the ability to tolerate solitude."

Xiao Yu stood on the podium and said to the students below.

"But, teacher, I have a question. If traditional Chinese medicine requires such a long time to learn, why should we study it at all When compared with Western medicine, its disadvantages are very obvious. Wouldn't it be better if everyone learned only Western medicine so that they could save a lot of time"

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, one of the students immediately spoke to him.

"Haha, this student makes a good point. You all know how difficult traditional Chinese medicine is to learn, but it also has its obvious advantages. After thousands of years of research, traditional Chinese medicine has gained a systematic understanding of various human ailments. However, Western medicine has only been around for several hundred years. With such a short period of time and little learning involved, could it possibly surpass traditional Chinese medicine"

"Let's take an example: if two people were to live, one relying solely on traditional Chinese medicine and the other on Western medicine, the person who only sees traditional Chinese doctors would likely live at least ten years longer! Treating the root cause is not just a slogan!"

Xiao Yu smiled lightly as he said this.

"That's not quite right, teacher. If we rely solely on traditional Chinese medicine, what happens if someone falls seriously ill Even with traditional Chinese doctors, wouldn't it be impossible to diagnose and treat such illnesses quickly and accurately"

After hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the student who had asked earlier turned to him again.

In the eyes of these students, there was still a significant difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine; otherwise, no one would study Western medicine. For example, if they only learned pure traditional Chinese medicine now, general hospitals rarely accepted it because most doctors were limited to just the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, with few people seeking treatment for them.

Moreover, even in integrated TCM and Western medicine hospitals, mostly Western medical treatments were used, while the application of traditional Chinese medicine was very limited.

"Haha, I don’t agree that traditional Chinese medicine is less accurate than Western medicine when diagnosing diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine also has its advantages; for some conditions, diagnosis through various tests in Western medicine could take a day or several days to confirm the condition, during which time minor illnesses might be delayed unnecessarily. However, with traditional Chinese medicine, once you master observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, most diseases can be diagnosed quickly!"

"Moreover, for some early-stage conditions that machines cannot detect, traditional Chinese doctors can use pulse diagnosis to accurately reflect any abnormalities in the body!"y wouldn't hesitate to disable their arms or legs until they collected the money owed.The bald man walked up to Xiao Yu in two steps and reached out to grab Xiao Yu's collar.
