The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Huang Xiaolong sat in the chair, his face calm. His right hand formed a fist and lightly shot out.

The force of his punch, like a tidal wave, carried an overwhelming and incredible power. His Yang energy radiated like a raging sun. As he held out his fist, a visible shockwave spread out with a “whizz” sound.

Boom~~~~

The desks and chairs in front of his fist were lifted into the air. The orange-clothed and red-clothed ferocious ghosts, were swept away by the fist wind, their ghostly bodies exploded under the searing yin energy and disintegrated into rotten chunks of flesh scattered around the entire classroom, crawling and squirming non-stop.

“Ahhh~~ Taoist… such a powerful Yin energy… Taoist Master, spare me! I… I am innocent! It’s not related to me!” The lips of the orange-clothed ferocious ghost continued crawling on the ground, producing a sound like a crow’s cawing.

An audible piece of the red-clothed ferocious ghost’s remains spoke, “That’s even more unrelated to me. I was merely a local ghost.. I was forced into becoming the executioner to punish these naughty students. In fact, I am quite remorseful… Taoist, let me go… I don’t want my soul to scatter~~”

“Enough with the nonsense, you answer when I ask.” Huang Xiaolong casually crossed his legs, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

“Taoist Master, please ask. I will answer truthfully, I beg you to spare my life.” The orange-clothed ferocious ghost, bursting into a sobbing sound.

“What’s going on with Hengyuan High School?” Huang Xiaolong asked as he blew a smoke ring.

“Taoist… Hengyuan High School is just one of the goals of our principal…” The orange-clothed ferocious ghost held nothing back, spilling all the beans. “In addition to Hengyuan, there are many other schools in Binhai — middle schools, universities, and even primary schools — that are infiltrated with ghost teachers arranged by the principal…”

“The principal was a great educator in his lifetime, and his ambition was to become the greatest, most respected principal or teacher in the country. Unfortunately, he was killed by some bad students before he could realize his dream… Now, having turned into a ghost, he vows to fulfill his ideals… We were all teachers while alive, recruited from all over the country by the Principal. We were assigned to each school in Binhai City to punish bad students. The principal said, you’ll find some students who are bad eggs, likely to grow up to become societal burdens and viruses… They must be eliminated. These naughty students refuse to study properly, brawl, collect protection money, are late, leave early, cheat… They all deserve to die.”

“Some old teachers, corrupting the herd, accepting bribes, sexually assaulting female students… They, too, must die.”

“Every bad student and bad teacher from every school, after we have killed and punished them, their souls are sent to the principal. The principal is setting up a ghost school! This is the largest ghost school in the country, even the world!”

During this narration, the orange-clothed ferocious ghost’s voice was filled with fanatical worship.

It seems they were brainwashed by this so-called ‘Principal’.

It continued saying, “After some time of preparation, finally… finally it’s completed. Tonight, the ghost school will officially begin! At the moment, the principal is conducting an opening ceremony over there. After handling a last batch of bad students from Hengyuan High School, I’ll take their souls to the ghost school to register. From then on, I’ll be teaching there.”

After hearing all this, Huang Xiaolong quickly sorted out his thoughts, and finally connected the dots —

So this is what’s going on —

A guy who was a school principal when alive, seemed to have a narcissistic complex and saw himself as a great educator. After death, he couldn’t let go of his obsession and turned into a ferocious ghost, vowing to establish the largest ghost school.

He began searching nationwide for spirits of people who were once educators, brought them all to Binhai, and assigned them to every school to harm students… Well, the so-called ‘bad students’.

After these bad students were killed, their souls were taken to the ghost school, turning them into ghost students!

“Ghost school is holding the opening ceremony tonight?” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

“Yes… yes, Taoist Master, a grand opening ceremony, held at midnight! Hosted by the principal personally, nearby wandering spirits and ghosts have also been invited to witness the grand event.” The orange-clothed ferocious ghost said.

After a pause, it spoke again in a hoarse voice “Taoist, we only kill the bad students and bad teachers. We’re doing justice…”

“Hahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong laughed sarcastically, “Coming up with excuses huh? You even call skipping classes, playing hooky, bullying juniors, punishable by death. Not to mention, it’s not your place as ghosts to pass judgment! Seeking justice? With you bunch acting sly? You’re simply defiling Divine Justice!”

“No! Taoist Master! Spare me, please! It’s all the principal’s doings… I was an English teacher in my lifetime, I didn’t want to teach after I died, and I’m not a local ghost … I was dragged here by the principal, I didn’t dare to resist, the principal is too powerful… It… It… It’s a blue-clothed ferocious ghost! If I don’t obey, I’ll get eaten by it! It… It… It savors devouring souls…”

Blue-clothed ferocious ghost?

Huang Xiaolong nodded, feeling motivated.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple!

So-called blue-clothed ferocious ghost would indeed be a strong ghost, filled with resentment. Only one rank below the purple-clothed ferocious ghost.

However, even the typical Taoist would find it difficult to contend with the Blue Ghost.

The Blue Ghost has mastered some ghostly techniques. Even though they can’t command the wind and rain, they have plenty of ghostly tricks up their sleeves.

“Final two questions, where is the Ghost School, and who is the headmaster?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a smile.

“The Ghost School is located in the branch campus of Binhai University…and the principal…the principal’s mortal name was…’Yuan Weijie’…” the orange-robed ghost replied pitifully.

“So, it is indeed Yuan Weijie! He committed suicide by poison ten years ago, has meticulously prepared this Ghost School, and now, he has evolved into a Blue Ghost. He must have harmed countless people and devoured numerous ghosts…” enormous killing intent glittered in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes. “How ironic, your Ghost Headmaster Yuan Weijie preached that bad teachers are corrupt and destined for death. Yet, when he was alive, he was a beast who physically punished students, even leading to their disablement or death. He is true scum, most deserving of disintegration! Now, he’s playing judge, indulging in his corruption. Ha, midnight and Binhai University’s branch campus, the Ghost School’s matriculation ceremony? Fine, I’ll go, and put an end to this!”

After he finished speaking, Huang Xiaolong casually waved his hand and several traces of Yang Fire swept through the classroom, reducing all the ghostly bodies into nothingness.

The orange- and red-robed ghosts were completely annihilated.

At this moment, the five students awakened as if from a dream. Their faces displayed a mixture of fear and joy, and they looked at Huang Xiaolong as if looking at a deity.

“Why didn’t anyone call the police or leak out any information, knowing that your school has ghost teachers who are openly teaching and killing?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

The male student named ‘Li Dashuang’ answered, “Taoist Brother, our school is under militaristic management and we are not allowed to leave the school. A month ago, they confiscated all our phones and computers, then… then these ghostly teachers appeared… Our principal knew about this, but… for some reason, instead of calling the police, he even supported these ghostly teachers… Taoist Brother, thank you for saving us today, it was terrifying.”

“It seems that the entire teaching staff of Hengyuan Private High School has fallen under the control of the ghosts.” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “How many ghost teachers are left in Hengyuan Private High School?”

“Taoist Brother, apart from Teacher Gou who was eliminated by you, there are still three ghost teachers.” Li Dashuang replied.

“Alright, I understand. You all stay in this classroom for now, don’t run around. I’ll go out to deal with the remaining ghost teachers, then attend their grand matriculation ceremony… How can I miss such an interesting event?” Huang Xiaolong showed a playful expression and walked out of the classroom, attaching a talisman to the classroom door.

“Fortunately, tonight all the students and staff of Binhai University’s branch campus were evacuated. Otherwise, the Ghost School’s matriculation ceremony, with ghosts running rampant, might have claimed countless lives.”

Huang Xiaolong walked to the schoolyard under the teaching building.

Suddenly, a flashlight beam shone directly onto Huang Xiaolong’s face.

Huang Xiaolong sneered when he saw a large group of people, about forty to fifty, dressed in security uniforms, each holding a flashlight and marching in formation. Their expressions were blank, their gaits strange, and their mouths twisted into eerie and chilling smiles.

These security guards were not ghosts, but they were affected by ghostly energy, clearly bewitched by ghost techniques!

At this moment, the leading security guard noticed Huang Xiaolong. He immediately took out a whistle and blew it.

The tranquil night was torn asunder!

“An intruder has broken in! An intruder has broken in!”

Shh~~~Shh~~~Shh~~~~

Many other security guards also blew their whistles.

In a moment, the loud whistle sounds, reminiscent of death knells, spread to every corner of Hengyuan Private High School!

The next moment, the cafeteria, administrative building, teaching building, dormitories…

Every building in the school lit up!

Next came the sound of approaching footsteps, like a tidal wave.

“Catch him!” A group of security guards were the first to surround Huang Xiaolong.

Simultaneously, a teeming wave of people poured out from various school buildings, heading straight for Huang Xiaolong with bated breaths!
