Chapter 656: Chapter 656

When the students heard that it was Professor Xu who was going to personally treat the illness, they were all astonished.

Who didn't know that Xu Hao had defeated the Tu family's Third Young Master just yesterday?

Such a skilled martial artist, yet willing to set aside all his pride to heal the sick and save lives, shook everyone to their core.

Others would probably look down on this with disdain, wouldn't they?

After all, Xu Hao certainly wasn't short of money, his decision to heal must be out of the kindness inherent in a healer's heart.

One student said, "But if we go to see Professor Xu treat patients, wouldn't that mean we're skipping class..." The canonical source for this content: *.

He had hardly finished speaking when he saw his own teacher approaching.

The teacher smiled and said, "Let's go, students. It's rare for Professor Xu to lend a hand. We can attend class later, but we can't miss such a great opportunity. If anything, I'll skip class with you!"

Hearing their teacher speak this way, the students couldn't help but let go completely and headed in the direction of Professor Xu and his companions.

This in turn stirred up even more excitement among the crowd, as many began shouting, "Skipping class! Skipping class!"

Even many students who were not part of the medical department joined in, swelling the ranks of this "class-skipping army."

Students and teachers alike spread the word, and groups after groups walked together towards Huadu University Affiliated Hospital, following Professor Xu.

When Xu Hao saw so many people following behind him, and the number still increasing, he was somewhat speechless.

There were only five or six hundred people in the medical department, but the crowd that had gathered must have numbered a thousand by now, the majority from other faculties.

All these people had run over to watch him treat the illness, he gathered from their conversations.

Ji Feng also saw the hundreds of teachers and students. He wanted to ask them to go back, but many were not from his department and beyond his remit to manage. Moreover, there were also some teachers among them.

Even as the director, Ji Feng couldn't simply order these teachers around in public, especially since watching Professor Xu treat a patient didn't seem to be a wrong act at all.

With this thought in mind, Ji Feng said with a wry smile, "Since everyone is so eager, let's go together. But I must make one thing clear: there must be no whispering, especially not when Professor Xu is treating the patient. We must maintain absolute quiet."

At that moment, Teacher Liu, who had previously not acknowledged Xu Hao's prowess and had "performed opposite him" on stage, happened to arrive at the school gate.

Seeing so many people heading to Huadu University Affiliated Hospital, his heart skipped a beat. Had there been an accident?

Rushing over with a keen interest in the commotion, he was surprised to see Xu Hao there too!

Upon seeing Xu Hao, a surge of unnamed anger ignited within him.

If it weren't for Xu Hao's emergence from the blue, stripping him of the right to deliver a public lecture halfway through, his professional title might have been rated even higher by now!

In his heart, it was because of Xu Hao that he had become a laughingstock, ridiculed by both students and fellow teachers!

He immediately grabbed a nearby student and asked what exactly was happening. When he learned that all the fuss was simply because Xu Hao was going to treat someone, he felt even more unbalanced.

Why should Xu Hao garner such adulation, when he did not?

Wasn't it all because Xu Hao had stolen his teaching rights that one time?

However, combining Ji Feng's expression with the situation, he quickly guessed that this must be about treating the American Professor from Huadu University of Science and Technology.

He was also aware of the American Professor's condition, which was very complicated and not something that could be cured in a moment. Even in the end, there was no certainty of recovery.

And now that the condition had worsened, it could be said that even if Hua Tuo were to come back to life, he wouldn't be able to cure it!

He walked to the front of the crowd and sneered, "Well, well, look who it is. If it isn't our very own 'Champion of Public Lectures,' Professor Xu!"

He knew Xu Hao was extremely strong, practically inhuman, but he wasn't afraid. He didn't believe Xu Hao would dare to hit him in public. Besides, he'd always been near the school, so Xu Hao had no opportunity to take him out in secret.

Thus, he was overly confident, without a trace of fear.

Seeing the puzzled look on Xu Hao's face, Ji Feng quickly explained, "The last time you gave a public lecture at Huadu University, Mr. Chen and all the big shots unanimously agreed that it was the most successful lecture ever, even awarding an unprecedented perfect score. So, many have called you the 'Champion of Public Lectures.' This is something we should have told you, but considering how busy you are, we put it off."

Xu Hao nodded slightly. Even if he had been told about this little honor, he wouldn't have cared much.

Seeing that Professor Xu remained silent, Teacher Liu spoke up, "Professor Xu, so you're going to treat Professor Richard's illness? But Richard's condition is incurable; at best, you can only delay his death."

Ji Feng immediately replied in a cold voice, "Teacher Li, don't spout nonsense. I believe Professor Xu can definitely cure Professor Richard's illness!"
