Teacher Hui's words were nothing short of earth-shattering.
The entire scene fell into a stunned silence.
What's going on here?
The two High Gods were in a frenzy, clamoring loudly. "Teacher Hui, what are you doing? You are a key figure cultivated by the Godly Academy, and in the field of Alchemy, you're a prodigy with exceptional talent, hailed as the one most likely to become the next Divine Alchemist in the Godly realm! How can you say such things to a monster? It's a disgrace to the prestige of the Godly Academy! Teacher Hui, are you mistaken about something?"
"Silence!" Teacher Hui's expression was incomprehensibly devout.
"I challenged my teacher to an Alchemy contest, and if I lost, I would keep my word and pay respects as a disciple before the entire school." Teacher Hui stated righteously. "This is my personal affair, it has nothing to do with the Godly Academy. If the Academy wishes to punish me, I am willing to resign as a teacher from the Godly Academy."
