Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1039: You Have Truly Overestimated Yourself, You Can’t Even Defend Against My Words?!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Everyone respectively shook their heads when they saw this scene.

This princess from Great Tang must be arrogant and bossy because of her identity. This was why she dared to be so rude to a great teacher, showing such a vile attitude.

However, she had no idea this place wasn’t the Great Tang Empire. It wasn’t a place where she could act atrociously.

Firstly, Wen Tai wasn’t someone from Great Tang, and he wasn’t a softy either. So what if he offended a princess? In fact, he even seemed to be a dark great teacher, and if he was offended too badly, he might even kill to vent his anger.

“Sun Mo clearly had the advantage before this, but because this girl was too mouthy, the situation has changed.”

Someone sighed ruefully.

In the Nine Provinces, great teachers were respected by everyone. If a student had such a disrespectful attitude, let alone making them slap themselves, great teachers could even beat the student half to death.

“Slap yourself!”

Wen Tai shouted in rage.

He actually didn’t want Li Ziqi to really slap herself. He only wanted a way out of the bet.

“Wen Tai, pay attention to your attitude. Don’t act like a snob.”

Li Ziqi berated.

“Audacious. If you don’t take action, don’t blame me for being rude.”

As Wen Tai spoke, he wanted to move forward to execute this himself. But the moment he took a step forward, he halted in shock.

Because Li Ziqi had taken out her 1-star great teacher insignia and showed it to everyone.

“Damn it, did I see wrongly?”

Wen Tai’s vision was extremely good. Hence, he could see the words on it. This was indeed Li Ziqi’s insignia. But...

(You are so young, how are you a great teacher? Could it be that you depended on connections to get it?)

The other great teachers were also discussing fervently.

They didn’t suspect whether this great teacher insignia was a counterfeit because only a few blacksmiths had the required expertise to forge one. Besides, the more serious thing was that once someone was found making or using a counterfeited great teacher insignia, their direct family and relatives would be banned from taking the great teacher examinations for three generations.

Also, the individual would be exiled to the Darkness Continent.

For the 1-star examination, it also wasn’t that there was no way to manipulate it secretly. Given Li Ziqi’s identity as a princess, she could pass the exams if she wanted to play some tricks.

“Hmph, has the Saint Gate declined? They actually gave a great teacher insignia to someone like this!”

Wen Tai snorted disdainfully.

No matter how Li Ziqi obtained this insignia, Wen Tai was no longer qualified to take action because her status was equal to his. There was no problem for her to call him by his name directly.

“Your heart is so narrow that it is like a chicken’s gut. As for your eyes, you are sitting in a well while viewing the sky. Don’t you know that there’s something called a genius?”

Sun Mo ridiculed him. “Let me tell you something. My student is the legitimate champion of this batch of 1-star great teacher examination. Also, she has broken the record and became the youngest person to become a great teacher.”

“…”

The surrounding spectators were dumbfounded. So, this young girl was so impressive.

(Wait a minute, she’s Sun Mo’s student.)

Everyone’s gazes landed on Sun Mo again.

“What’s there to brag about? It was a mere 1-star examination!”

Wen Tai was unyielding.

“I’m sure everyone has heard of Secondary Saint Zhou’s beloved grandson Zhou Wenbin, correct?”

Sun Mo swept his gaze around.

Everyone nodded.

He was the most outstanding junior from the Zhou Clan. If there were no unexpected incidents, he would become the clan leader in the future.

“He has also participated in the same examination, but regardless of the halo segment, written segment, or the martial segment, he lost all three rounds to my eldest martial sister!” Lu Zhiruo bragged.

“My eldest martial sister obtained full marks in her written examination. During her lectures, she had the highest accumulated points and broke the record. Tong Xugao consulted her for guidance publicly. Oh, I forgot to mention that Tong Xugao is a 7-star great teacher from the Black-White Academy. However, in order to learn more about the study of spirit runes from my teacher, he has joined our Central Province Academy and become an assistant of my teacher.”

Lu Zhiruo was very complacent.

“Also, during the martial segment, the opponent my eldest martial sister defeated is none other than Zhou Wenbin!”

“...”

In the corridor, there was only silence.

Everyone was a veteran in the spirit rune world, so how could they not know of Tong Xugao’s great name? In the end, this man actually went to join the Central Province Academy because of Sun Mo?

Something like this was definitely not false as they would know the answer just by casually asking around.

But wasn’t the ‘resume’ of this young girl a little too terrifying?

How did this young man manage to teach such a student?

“Can I ask this great teacher? When you were 15 years old, did you already have such achievements?”

Sun Mo questioned.

“If not, apologize to my student immediately. Your doubts and suspicions are an insult to the relentless effort she put in every day and night!”

“…”

Wen Tai’s countenance alternated between shades of green and red.

Right now, he felt sullen and regretful. Usually, he could scold any youth he wanted to based on his identity as a grandmaster spirit runist. He wouldn’t feel any psychological pressure.

But who would have guessed that he would ram his toes into a steel board today?

(What to do? Apologize? No way, I absolutely won’t kowtow to this brat. Yes, I should pretend to be mad from anger and lose my rationality, challenging him to a fight. Since I can’t win in a verbal war, let’s fight then. I don’t believe a little brat like you can defeat me, an expert in the Longevity Realm!)

Wen Tai, whose thoughts spun rapidly, immediately pointed his finger at Sun Mo. “Brat, I want to fight you.”

“Hehe, you want to resort to fighting because you lost in logic?”

Sun Mo coldly smiled. “How shameless. Even someone like you is qualified to be a great teacher? You have truly thrown the face of this title! You want to fight? Sure, let me teach you a lesson then! Firstly, don’t dictate success based on age. You’ve lived so long, but it has been for nothing. Why? Are you unconvinced? Then why can’t you decipher the secret of the globe?

“Sorry, I really know the answer. Are you angry? But I purposely won’t tell you.”

Sun Mo’s ‘scolding mode’ was activated and he was now like a mad dog that started to bite people ruthlessly.

“Also, please remember that grandmaster-level spirit runists are nothing special. This status shouldn’t be your capital for posturing.”

Sun Mo pulled out his wooden blade.

“For some people, even if you learn for a hundred years, you won’t be qualified to judge them.”

“F*** you…”

Wen Tai was badly infuriated. He had never suffered such humiliation before. Just when he wanted to retort sarcastically, those words that were spoken by Sun Mo actually transformed into numerous half-transparent arrows that shot over.

“Damn, what is this?”

“My heavens, is this Sharp Tongue?”

“So impressive? It’s over. Wen Tai is dead for sure!”

An uproar immediately arose in the corridor. Even Cui Shun`en was staring at Sun Mo in a dumbstruck manner.

The instant when the arrows of light shot out, Wen Tai’s countenance turned ashen and then pale-white. He wanted to evade, but it was useless.

Sharp Tongue made use of sound waves. When one heard the words, the attacks would have come in contact with them, piercing their bodies and souls.

This was a double-attack.

The arrows of light pierced Wen Tai’s body. He dodged instinctively, but it was in vain.

Ci! Ci! Ci!

The arrows of light penetrated Wen Tai, causing him to retreat several steps. After that, he coughed up a large mouthful of blood from the impact.

BOOM!

Wen Tai felt intense pain all over his body. His legs grew soft as he knelt on the ground.

“Wow, now there’s even no need for combat!”

Many great teachers were envious. This was what a genius great teacher should be!

(You want to fight me? You have truly overestimated yourself. You can’t even block my verbal shots!)

“He has comprehended ‘Sharp Tongue’? How many people has he scolded?”

All the great teachers were curious.

In the modern era, ‘Sharp Tongue’ meant that the words of a person were incisive and penetrating, akin to swords and sabers. At most, they would only drive the blood pressure of their targets up and cause them to be dizzy.

But in the Nine Provinces, this halo could injure people. For light cases, the target would cough up blood. In serious cases, they might even die on the spot.

Great teachers would all care about their identity and wouldn’t act easily. After all, if a fight occurred, even if they won, their faces might be swollen from the beating. So, if one could shoot their mouths off and injure their opponents, things would be much ‘cooler’ and ‘stylish’.

However, it wasn’t easy to comprehend Sharp Tongue.

You had to be confident in yourself that you made no mistakes. Also, the content of your words when scolding others had to be based on fact, making it so that even if the target denied it verbally, they would still be convinced in their heart.

Bluntly speaking, this was based on strength.

Sun Mo’s earlier words were extremely incisive. This was especially so for the first part: ‘you’ve lived so long, but it has been for nothing’. This simply caused Wen Tai to feel so sullen that he wanted to die.

“Wow, Teacher is so imposing!”

Lu Zhiruo applauded happily.

“Ze, I haven’t attacked, but he has already fallen?”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched. “Isn’t he a little too weak? Are you really a grandmaster? Don’t tell me you are some random Tom, Dick, or Harry impersonating a grandmaster?”

These words still contained the Sharp Tongue effect. They slammed into Wen Tai and caused him to be unable to sit up as he lay on the ground…

“Forget it, if I accept an apology from someone like you, it will only lower my status. Just scram!”

Sun Mo turned and left.

His students quickly followed him.

This was especially so for the papaya girl. She was in high spirits and she strode forward with extreme pride.

(Teacher is so impressive! I really feel exceptionally awesome!)

“Why do you look that satisfied, eh?”

Jiang Leng teased.

“I’m a personal student of our teacher, almost like his daughter. This is why Teacher’s glory is also my glory. Can’t I be a little proud?”

Lu Zhiruo counter-asked.

“Teacher Sun, please enlighten me regarding that globe!”

Murong Yao bowed with his hands held in front. “I’ll thank you in advance. In the future, if you have any instructions for me, I’ll be sure to do my utmost.”

Hua~

Everyone exclaimed in shock.

Murong Yao was going all out for the sake of obtaining the answer.

His words meant that he would owe Sun Mo a favor. In the future, as long as Sun Mo asked for something, Murong Yao would do his utmost to achieve it.

One must know that this person was a grandmaster spirit runist of the Jixia Learning Palace. His promise was worth quite a lot of money.

“I don’t have any instructions for you, but on account of Sister Mei Yazhi, I will tell you that the globe has no connection with the study of spirit runes at all. You have to rely on linguistics to decipher it.”

Sun Mo silently mused that even if he told them, they wouldn’t be able to decipher anything either.

(Because you guys basically have nowhere to learn the Xisi Language from.)

“Linguistics?”

Everyone had dumbfounded looks on their faces. But as for Cui Shun`en, his spirits stirred. This was because he had read through the records kept by the past deans. Five of them, including Bai Wenzhang, had the same opinion as that of Sun Mo.

“Which language?”

Some great teachers asked.

“Hehe!”

Sun Mo revealed a smile that seemed to indicate ‘you wouldn’t understand’.

Ding!

“Congratulations, you’ve obtained a total of 7,100 favorable impression points.”

Although the points weren’t that many, one must know that the people present were all high star-ranking great teachers. Their judgment was extremely high.

And Sun Mo had evidently obtained their recognition and approval.

“I’ve merely not returned to the Nine Provinces for five years, so how could a genius of his level appear so suddenly?”

A great teacher sighed ruefully.

“Yeah, if this really had a connection with linguistics, it would be useless even if we persevere on. We might as well return!”

“Speaking of which, that fellow is named Sun Mo? How is his fame?”

“I guess it’s still passable? If he is famous far and wide, how is it possible that he still stays in a place like the Central Province Academy? He should have been headhunted by the Nine Greats long ago.”

The great teachers discussed with each other. After this minor episode, they felt free from their obsessions and began to reassess their lives.

“Jiang Leng, bring me to the training chamber for the experimental subjects! I want to take a look.”

Sun Mo instructed.
