Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1086: Read As Genius, Written As Sun Mo!

Translator: Lordbluefire

20 minutes later, Lu Zhiruo had saved everyone’s consciousness. She then fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

“Doctor!”

Sun Mo shouted loudly and quickly gave the lucky mascot a check-up. After ascertaining that it was just an over-depletion of her mental energy, he felt at ease.

“Great Teacher Nangong, do you still have any doubts?”

Sun Mo’s tone didn’t sound good.

“...”

Nangong Xun fell silent, his expression looking awkward.

Lu Zhiruo became skinner, and her entire body was drenched in sweat, her skin looking pale. Anyone with eyes would be able to tell that her condition was very bad.

She had done this to save the others.

“Teacher Sun, this bow is for Student Lu, to thank her for her generosity in lending a helping hand!”

Ancestor Bei walked up to Lu Zhiruo and first checked her condition before bowing toward Sun Mo.

Hearing this, Nangong Xun’s countenance looked even grimmer.

“Ancestor Bei, there’s no need to stand on ceremony!”

Sun Mo smiled.

“I don’t have anything valuable with me. Can I give this Soul Rising Pill to Student Lu to express my gratitude?”

Ancestor Bei took out a wooden box and handed it to Sun Mo.

Swoosh!

All the spirit controllers present opened their eyes wide and looked over, wanting to see what the legendary Soul Rising Pill looked like.

To spirit controllers, this was one of the best alchemical pills.

Everyone knew spirit controllers relied mainly on their mental energy to control spiritual beasts. If it wasn’t strong enough, they wouldn’t be able to suppress the spiritual beasts and would receive a backlash.

The Soul Rising Pill could let a spirit controller’s mental energy surge tremendously by at least five times.

It was a pity that the ingredients required for this alchemical pill were very rare and valuable. Moreover, the refining method and process were also very complicated. If one wasn’t an ancestor-level alchemist, it was almost impossible to succeed in refining it.

To think that Ancestor Bei was giving such a precious alchemical pill to Lu Zhiruo...

The spectators were utterly astonished.

“This is too precious!”

Sun Mo frowned.

“No matter how precious it is, it can’t compare to Student Lu’s favor of saving my life!”

Ancestor Bei laughed. “If it wasn’t because she admires you a lot and that there’s no chance of recruiting her over, I’d have made a move long ago.”

Ancestor Bei was very open-minded. He didn’t mind admitting that he had been saved even though it might be embarrassing.

Moreover, only by ensuring a good relationship with Lu Zhiruo would he have an opportunity to continue entering this Myriad Beasts Cube and seek the truth.

(It’s a pity… This isn’t my secret treasure!)

Ancestor Bei looked at the Myriad Beasts Cube, his gaze filled with regret. It was as if he had lost his most beloved wife.

“Teacher Nangong, although Lu Zhiruo gained victory through using this secret treasure, I have to speak in fairness that the fact that she can use it is an extraordinary achievement.”

Ancestor Bei said with a sincere tone.

There were many occupations in Nine Provinces.

There were alchemists, weaponsmiths, doctors, and even spirit runists. There were many occupations, and as long as one worked hard enough, even if their aptitude wasn’t great enough, they’d be able to achieve a certain level of success.

However, an occupation like spirit controllers relied solely on one’s aptitude.

Without aptitude, it’d be useless even if one were to slog hard until they died from fatigue.

Why was it that even though Sun Mo had obtained rich spiritual control knowledge, gained several decades of experience, and was even equipped with the divine language of spiritual control thanks to the system, he still rarely used it?

It was because if it wasn’t used well, there’d be mishaps.

The stronger the summoned spiritual beasts were, the greater the risk. Why? Because craving freedom was any species’ true nature. After all, no one liked to be enslaved.

Of course, Nangong Xun understood this point. But he really found it hard to accept this result.

“Teacher Sun, may I be so intrusive to ask where you get this secret treasure?”

Ancestor Bei cupped his fists together, lowering his stance, and asked.

Sun Mo didn’t wish to say anything about Bai Wenzhang, but he really found it hard to refuse after Ancestor Bei had given him the valuable Soul Rising Pill.

“From the Dragonspirit Manor.”

Even the ordinary great teachers were extremely astonished when they heard this name, let alone the spirit runists.

“Isn’t that Bai Wenzhang’s manor?”

Dean Bai was a great magnate in the dark great teacher world, standing at the pinnacle in the spirit runes domain. When many cultivators reached a bottleneck and were unable to advance further, they’d go look for Dean Bai and receive spirit runes tattoos to resolve the issue.

“There are the world’s three greatest puzzles in the Dragonspirit Manor. This Myriad Beasts Cube is what my Junior Martial Sister Lu has gotten after solving the second puzzle.”

Li Ziqi explained.

One must never be reserved when it was time to boast.

Sssss!

Hearing this, several people were stunned.

The Dragonspirit Manor’s three greatest puzzles weren’t considered well-known by everyone, but they were still a frequently brought-up topic in the great teacher world.

They were like the Dragon Subduing Academy’s Dragon Subduing Palace, the Black-White Academy’s Black-White Star Disk, as well as the Armillary Sphere Chart in the Heavenly Mystery Academy’s Heaven-Asking Pavilion...

All these things possessed the world’s profoundness and in the course of history, many great teachers were still unable to solve them despite having spent their entire lives on them.

“I’ve paid a visit to the Dragonspirit Manor in the past and had the great fortune to see those three world’s puzzles. However, I didn’t expect that they had been solved.”

A great teacher was surprised.

“I’ve seen them too. It was that building that released lightning, right? I didn’t expect that it turned out to be related to spiritual control techniques.”

“All of Sun Mo’s personal disciples are not ordinary.”

The great teachers whispered amongst themselves.

Those spirit controllers who had suffered a blow earlier wore expressions of lingering fear.

(If you had mentioned the Myriad Beasts Cube’s background beforehand, we’d definitely not dare to even touch it.)

“Great Teacher Sun, Bai Wenzhang is a dark great teacher. What’s your intention of going to the Dragonspirit Manor?”

Jiang Zhitong finally found an opportunity and immediately lashed out.

If Sun Mo were to say that he had been there to learn, then he’d have a stain in his life. In the future, he wouldn’t be able to enter the Saint Gate’s upper echelon because it was an ironclad rule that they wouldn’t accept great teachers associated with dark great teachers.

If Sun Mo were to say that he had gone to get spirit runes tattoos, then it’d prove that his spirit runes techniques weren’t all that amazing, causing him to lose a lot of splendor.

“Teacher Jiang, please bring stuff like this to private chats!”

Tong Yiming intercepted.

He was worried that Sun Mo would say the wrong things.

Although some great teachers didn’t chip in to help, they all felt that Jiang Zhitong was being too despicable.

Even though Bai Wenzhang was a dark great teacher, he didn’t belong to the Dark Dawn. Other than performing some human experiments, he didn’t have any conflicts with the Nine Provinces’ great teacher circle. Moreover, because the spirit runes he tattooed were of high quality and had great effects, he had accumulated quite a lot of favors.

To speak plainly, he was just a major character who was devoted to his research.

If you didn’t offend him, he’d definitely not come to look for trouble.

He could be said to be harmless.

When people needed to tattoo spirit runes, they’d definitely look for the best spirit runist. The two spirit runists who shared the same fame as Bai Wenzhang lacked neither money nor fame. Given these people’s weak reputations, they wouldn’t have the right to visit those two spirit runists. However, things were different for the Dragonspirit Manor.

It’d be fine as long as one had money.

If Bai Wenzhang were to feel that your constitution wasn’t bad, he might even take the initiative to ask if you wanted an even more amazing spirit rune.

It wouldn’t cost anything, and the only requirement was that the person who received the special tattoo must visit the manor regularly for checkups and also report the usage effects.

Therefore, Bai Wenzhang’s reputation amongst the Nine Provinces’ great teacher circle was still alright.

“If it isn’t something that can’t be said, why the need to bring it private?”

Jiang Zhitong didn’t care about Tong Yiming and lashed out directly, “Or is there some kind of secret between Teacher Sun and Bai Wenzhang?”

“Teacher Jiang, please conduct yourself with dignity!”

Li Ziqi stood out, speaking in an unkind tone.

Jiang Zhitong’s countenance instantly turned dark. (I’m a direct descendant of a great teacher clan. You, a 15-year-old child, have no right to speak to me in this manner.)

If it was any other person, Jiang Zhitong would have slapped them. However, he couldn’t do this to Li Ziqi, nor did he have the right to do that.

It was because she was a great teacher. The two of them shared the same statuses.

“Damn Sun Mo.”

Jiang Zhitong really wished that he had a great teacher disciple who could stand up for him too. It’d bring him so much glory.

“The reason my teacher went to the Dragonspirit Manor is because Dean Bai had sent him an invitation that was personally written by himself. He invited Teacher to help him solve some problems he faced in the spirit runes domain.”

Li Ziqi explained in a loud voice.

“Haha, you really aren’t scared of boasting!”

Jiang Zhitong sneered, “I admit that Teacher Sun’s standard in the study of spirit runes isn’t bad, but he probably doesn’t have the right to compare with Bai Wenzhang, right? You’re saying that Dean Bai was looking for Great Teacher Sun to solve his problems? Did you daydream so much that your brain spoiled?”

The great teachers whispered amongst themselves. Most of them felt that what Jiang Zhitong said was right.

“The frog in a well knows not how vast the sky is. The summer bug knows not what the cold is!”

Li Ziqi’s lips twitched as she said sharply.

“No matter how well you boast, Sun Mo is still nothing in front of Bai Wenzhang!” Jiang Zhitong smirked coldly, “You’re calling me a frog in a well? Can Sun Mo possibly fly to the sky?”

Li Ziqi didn’t reply but turned to throw a glance at her martial siblings.

Then, everyone started laughing.

“Haha!”

Sun Mo’s disciples were very happy, feeling that Jiang Zhitong was a fool.

“What atrocity!” Jiang Zhitong flew into a rage. “What are you guys laughing about?”

“Laughing at you for being a frog in a well!”

After Li Ziqi was done lashing out, she then shook her head. “Forget it, forget it. I would be infected with stupidity if I waste my time with people like you.”

“You guys...”

Jiang Zhitong flew into a rage.

“Enough!”

Sun Mo stared at Jiang Zhitong. “If you’re upset with me, then duel me. Don’t talk about these useless things.”

“You were the one who chose this!” Jiang Zhitong broke into a savage smile.

“That’s enough, that’s enough. This is the martial dojo and several ten thousand people are watching. Take note of your conduct.”

Liang Hongda played the role of a mediator.

“Hmph!”

Jiang Zhitong turned his head away proudly.

(Fighting?)

(That’s a lousy job.)

(Wait until my personal disciple crush you guys!)

After seeing Jiang Zhitong’s attitude, Liang Hongda felt frustrated. (I’m doing this for your own good. If you were to fight with Sun Mo, your brains would probably get smashed out.)

“Great Teacher Nangong, I can understand how you feel. If you still have objections, I can fight you. If you win, this round will be considered our loss.”

Sun Mo spoke up.

Nangong Xun wanted to agree to this, but he couldn’t call the shots on this matter. Therefore, he looked toward Liang Hongda.

How could Liang Hongda dare to agree to this? Rules and regulations were a necessity. Moreover, this was a sacred great teacher examination and violation of rules wasn’t allowed.

Otherwise, if everyone were to do whatever they wanted in the future, how was the Saint Gate going to lead the group?

Liang Hongda was the vice sect lord after all and was very smart. He only asked one question and managed to resolve the problem.

“Ziqi, what is your Teacher’s cultivation tier now?”

“Second level of the Longevity Realm.”

Li Ziqi gave it some thought before adding, “He should be at the pinnacle.”

Sssss!

Hearing this, everyone drew in a cold gasp, almost sucking the surroundings dry.

Jiang Zhitong’s big eyes almost popped out.

A Longevity Realm expert at the age of 22 and the second level at that? Why didn’t you go around boasting about it?

How much of a genius must one be to be able to achieve such results?

There were some unrivaled geniuses amongst cultivators who could achieve this. But those people spent their time cultivating every day. What about Sun Mo?

This guy was almost an ancestor-level spirit runist, a grandmaster spirit controller, a grandmaster herbalist, and possessed God Hands. He was the Three-time Champion Sun who had broken the records...

Oh, in a few more days, he might become the Four-time Champion Sun.

Right, he was also a master in calligraphy and painting. He had created an unprecedented calligraphy style as well as a few sets of famous paintings, which could pass his name down in history.

As Sun Mo’s enemy, Jiang Zhitong had found out all the information he could about Sun Mo. Therefore, he increasingly felt that this was impossible after hearing his cultivation tier.

(Even if you were to start learning from when you were a fetus, it’s impossible for you to be so strong.)

Nangong Xun looked at Sun Mo, his gaze filled with astonishment. It then gradually turned to daze and annoyance.

(Why is my luck so bad to encounter such an opponent?)

Right now, he was feeling very thankful that he hadn’t agreed to Sun Mo’s request for a duel right off the bat. Otherwise, he’d probably get hammered.

The second level of the Longevity Realm... Even though he was 51 years old, he was only at this cultivation tier.

Nangong Xun’s lips shuddered and for an instant, he wanted to seek guidance from Sun Mo for his secret on cultivation.

“Why? Your eldest disciple has already won. So what if you were to let me win one round?”

Nangong Xun had tears in his eyes. “Do you know how many years I’ve been working hard to get a raise in my star level?”

Heaven was really unfair.

“Great Teacher Nangong, the sweet fruit of victory can only be harvested by oneself. Only then would it taste wonderful and leave a deep impression. One that’s given by others will always taste a little weaker.”

Sun Mo advised.

This was his character. He’d rather starve to death than eat the food others gave him out of charity.

Seeming as if he was refusing things yet secretly wanting it...

There was no such thing in his dictionary!

Buzz!

Priceless Advice erupted!

Nangong Dao was stunned and lowered his head. After cupping his hands at Sun Mo, he then left the martial dojo quickly, feeling too ashamed to stay.

The competition continued and there were quite a number of exciting duels. However, people’s expectations had been raised to such a high degree, and they were all waiting for Sun Mo’s disciples to encounter those few genius disciples.

“I think that they’ll encounter each other in the championship battle!”

After the top 100 participants were decided, there was another voluntary championship battle. A champion would be decided from it.

“If Sun Mo wants to come in the first place, then his disciples will have to take part in the championship battle and come in the first place.”

“I don’t think they’ll need to. Sun Mo has broken the record of the Ancient Sage Building. His score is too high, and it should be able to influence the result of the championship battle, right?”

“What are you daydreaming about? Do you think that Zhang Wentao and Jiang Zhitong’s disciples are just decor pieces? Moreover, no matter how amazing Li Ziqi’s spirit rune rods are, how many of them could she have? Furthermore, it’d be tough on her if other people were to find a way to deal with this battle tactic. As for Ying Baiwu, didn’t you see that she had had a tough battle in her second round?”

The great teachers kept on analyzing the situation but didn’t expect that Xu Cong had picked Ying Baiwu for the last battle.

A duel between celebrity-level candidates was brought forward.

“That’s amazing!” Jiang Zhitong was elated. “Crush her!”

“Teacher, don’t worry!”

Xu Cong wore a faint smile, feeling very confident.

His aptitude was exceptional. Furthermore, the Jiang Clan had spent a tremendous amount of resources to nurture him. He could be said to be one of the top geniuses amongst his peers.

As for those of the same cultivation levels?

(Sorry, I’ve always been fighting those of a higher cultivation level and haven’t lost any battle.)

Watching as Ying Baiwu got on the arena, Xu Cong suddenly found this boring. (As someone from the pinnacle of the Blood Ignition Realm, wouldn’t I be too much of a bully if I were to go all out?)
