"But... but isn't being able to convert rampant energy into pure energy something to be praised?"
"At least it's a great attempt. What if Zhang Chen's method is not problematic?"
"Wouldn't this greatly improve the effect of Spirit Pills?!" Zhao Xiyue asked relentlessly.
Looking at the dull grey Spirit Pill in her hand, then at the bright azure Spirit Pill in Zhang Chen's hand, the difference between them was like that between mud and a gemstone.
"It's not that simple. Someone has tried this before in history!"
"Many of them were exceptionally talented, even heroes, but without exception, they all failed."
"Not only could they not guarantee 100% cleansing of all the rampant power within the spirit core,"
"Even if some of them made such a promise, no one was willing to be the test subject."
"Because normal people, upon contact with even a trace of rampant energy, would instantly mutate. No one could bear such a consequence."
"Such experiments are tantamount to murder."
"Therefore, over a hundred years ago, the World Spirit Medicine Association banned this project."
"Zhao Xiyue, you think what Zhang Chen did is very creative, but in reality, it's just a proven wrong attempt by his predecessors!" Zhou Feifei spoke directly, without mincing words, confronting Zhao Xiyue.
"Predecessors were wrong, but that doesn't mean we will be wrong too. If everyone only followed the experience and teachings of their predecessors, how would human society progress?!"
"Zhang Chen, do you believe what I'm saying?" Zhao Xiyue suddenly turned to ask Zhang Chen.
"Ah? This..." Zhang Chen also felt Zhou Feifei's intense gaze. At this moment, both women were waiting for Zhang Chen to make the final judgment on this debate. Not a judgment of right or wrong, but a judgment of whose words were more credible.
"I believe what you said, Xiyue... but Vice Principal Zhou is also not wrong..." Zhang Chen stammered. Actually, when refining this Spirit Pill, he wasn't intending to consume it himself or for humans. He wanted to give it to Mo Ran. After all, Mo Ran was a special spirit beast, possessing rampant energy within its body. Therefore, even if his Spirit Pill was not perfect and might contain unpurified rampant energy, it wouldn't be problematic for Mo Ran to consume it.
"Principal Zhou, I have also checked relevant literature. If rampant energy condenses within a Spirit Pill, it will appear as a faint red or pink hue."
"But look at Zhang Chen's Spirit Pill, it's azure and flawless, a perfectly pure Spirit Pill!" Zhao Xiyue argued logically.
"This... let's forget it! I'll refine it according to regulations next time!" Zhang Chen didn't want to be too high-profile. However, for some reason, Zhao Xiyue seemed to feel that this score had somehow harmed her. She was relentlessly debating Zhou Feifei. If Principal Xu Linna found out, the consequences would be unimaginable. That woman, Zhang Chen only glanced at her once and felt she was a formidable person. It was as if nothing in his heart could escape her eyes.
"We can't just let it go. I think Principal Zhou's scoring is not fair and objective!" Zhao Xiyue continued.
"Whether this Spirit Pill is perfect is difficult to conclude solely through observation."
"And my scoring is entirely based on the standard procedures and assessment criteria for Spirit Pill production."
"If you can find anyone willing to swallow this Spirit Pill without any side effects, I will give Zhang Chen an SSS-rank evaluation!" Zhou Feifei also got annoyed and directly challenged Zhao Xiyue. Because she knew very well that no one in this world would dare to consume such a thing. It was like playing with one's life. As expected, upon hearing this, the surrounding students who were spectating and enjoying the excitement involuntarily took a few steps back, their faces showing fear. Who would be willing to risk their life for a bet between Zhou Feifei and Zhao Xiyue? That would be madness. Zhou Feifei raised her eyebrows slightly, looking provocatively at Zhao Xiyue. This outcome was entirely within her expectations.
"You said it, don't go back on your word!" Zhao Xiyue said, and amidst the gasps of the crowd, she directly swallowed the Spirit Pill from Zhang Chen's hand.
