Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1107: What Is Called an Ancestor? Sun Mo Is Precisely It!

Translator: Lordbluefire

(The students of this batch can’t make it. They don’t know how to act in a skit as the straight guy as opposed to the fall guy.)

Sun Mo mocked.

Seeing that no one replied, he could only continue on with his monologue.

“At its most basic form, spirit runes are actually a type of language.”

The Sun Mo at this moment was extremely confident.

For medical cultivation, Sun Mo still had to depend on his Divine Sight and ancient massaging technique. He had to select the right person to prove his strength.

But for the study of spirit runes, Sun Mo had truly reached the standard of a great ancestor. He was someone who stood at the forefront of this subject!

The content Sun Mo spoke about couldn’t be considered as golden rules, but his words gave plenty of inspiration to the spirit runists here.

“Language isn’t something that is merely spoken verbally. It can be pictures that form a system. Even gestures and flag signals can be a language. So, what is a language used for?

“To express things! To convey emotions, to record life and work, and even to kill someone!”

Sun Mo spoke frankly with assurance.

The teachers and students were all attracted. Even those listening from the corridor slowed their breaths and were listening with rapt attention.

The content Sun Mo was talking about was simply too advanced.

Honestly speaking, many people didn’t understand it, but they somehow still found it very impressive.

“Leaving aside the great teacher halo Sharp Tongue, even when ordinary people quarrel, some people might be angered to death. People usually say that the words spoken have stabbed right into their hearts, making them feel flustered and exasperated. This is the power of language.

“In that case, what’s the power of this language—spirit runes? Transformation! Spirit runes are tools that we can use to change this world and achieve a certain purpose!”

As Sun Mo spoke, he showed a spirit rune to everyone and activated it.

Swish~

A light gust of wind immediately blew throughout the classroom.

“Does anyone know what this is?”

Sun Mo asked with a smile.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Several students raised their hands because this spirit rune was too commonly seen.

This was the hurricane technique and it was commonly used to create flying sand to obscure vision. For example, when armies were fighting and when one wanted to escape.

“This is known as the hurricane technique, right?”

As Sun Mo spoke, he took out a thick spirit rune rod.

“Among you guys, some must have heard that my eldest disciple used an equipment called the spirit rune rod when she fought in the personal students battle, right?”

After hearing these words, several people nodded. This was especially so for those great teachers who majored in the study of spirit runes. In fact, their bodies were even leaning forward slightly as they wanted to watch clearly.

In a fight, the assistance provided by spirit runes was somewhat weak because not only was it not convenient to bring spirit runes along with you, but it was troublesome to use them. During moments of life and death, one basically wouldn’t have the time to activate a spirit rune.

It was far inferior compared to consuming a life-saving alchemy pill.

However, the appearance of the spirit rune rod changed the current situation.

Now, the image-recording stones of Li Ziqi’s combat were treated as hard currency in underground black markets. Their selling value was incomparably high.

Because most of the recordings were now done by using new image-recording stones to record the scene projected by the original ones, the quality was very inferior and blurry. But even so, people were still willing to purchase them.

The people of the Nine Provinces didn’t know the term ‘spamming money’. However, this ‘wealthy battle method’ meant something similar.

The spirit rune rod was placed on the desk. It was made from jadestone, and there were three spirit stones embedded in it. A diagram akin to an electric circuit was drawn all over it.

The people here didn’t understand the term ‘industrial beauty’, but they all felt that this spirit diagram looked very beautiful.

When Sun Mo placed his hands on the fingernail-sized spirit runes on the rod and activated them, a gust of wind immediately appeared.

Continuously!

Sun Mo no longer spoke. He was silently observing these teachers and students, searching for talents that could be nurtured.

Sadly, the majority of the people showed puzzled expressions. Clearly, they didn’t know the meaning of this invention. There was also another batch of people who were astonished by the concept of the spirit rune rod.

“What do you all see?”

Sun Mo asked.

“A noble concept!”

All of a sudden, a voice drifted in from outside the classroom.

“Damn, Luo Liang. No matter what, you are a student of the Black-White Academy. Do you still want face? Why must you go to such an extent to fawn on Sun Mo?”

“Pardon me for being straightforward. Although the diagram on the spirit rune rod is very excellent, I still don’t understand what this invention means. Surely, you can’t kill people by blowing wind at them, right?”

“Isn’t it better to create a sea of lightning or fire bullets? That would be more exciting!”

The students discussed. After that, they rapidly shut up because Sun Mo had turned his gaze over.

Swish~

The students in Luo Liang’s surroundings hurriedly stepped away from him as they were afraid of being implicated.

After all, interrupting a great teacher’s lecture was something annoying.

“This student, what did you see?”

Sun Mo asked with a smile.

“I can see the world is going to change!”

Luo Liang didn’t care about the others in his surroundings. He took a few more steps forward and directly entered the classroom, eventually standing on the rostrum as he stared fixedly at the spirit rune rod.

His eyes sparkled as though he had discovered a new world.

“Tell me more about your idea then?”

Sun Mo suggested.

“The appearance of this item indicates that humans can now enjoy the cool breeze during summer, or when we are in an enclosed room.”

After Luo Liang said this, everyone finally realized it.

Earlier, everyone had merely been thinking about how this breeze could aid them in combat. They had never thought of using it for something mundane.

In this era, there were no electric fans.

How did one pass their days during summer?

Poor people could only endure the heat and would at most soak themselves in creeks to bathe. As for the wealthy, they had sour plum soup to drink, and they also could use ice that they kept sealed in their cellar. They even had maids manually fanning them with paper fans.

But with this spirit rune rod, people would at most need to use a few small spirit stones, and they would be able to enjoy a cool breeze for the entire day.

“My heavens, how much money can this thing earn?”

A great teacher who was very money-minded suddenly cried out in shock.

As long as it was a family with some savings, they would buy one, right?

Alright, even for middle-class families, how many were there in the Nine Provinces?

Surely above ten million.

If a family just bought one, that would already be an astronomical number.

If Sun Mo was slightly more black-hearted and made this thing spoil after a year or two, he would be able to earn another wave of profits.

(Copying the product? Are you dreaming?)

Given Sun Mo’s knowledge in spirit runes, he could just do some slight modifications to the spirit rune rod and no one would be able to unravel it. At the very least, no one would be able to copy his products for the next ten years.

Ten years, how much money could he make by then?

This was a monopoly!

Upon thinking of this, the eyes of several great teachers turned red with envy as they stared at Sun Mo.

Trying to obtain knowledge was actually very expensive.

Leaving aside alchemy and weaponsmithing, the number of ingredients being ‘wasted’ every day was astronomical. Even an archaeologist had to eat every day, right? They had to at least prepare tents and horses when they were traveling too.

And if they wanted to form a team, it would be even more expensive.

“How can the person in front of me be a human? He’s clearly a god of wealth.”

Some great teachers who lacked money wanted nothing more than to call Sun Mo ‘daddy’, asking him to aid them financially.

“Wealth that can rival nations!”

“So, invention is THE way to strike it rich!”

After a young man said this, numerous gazes turned over.

“Why? Am I wrong?”

The young man’s face flashed with a naive and immature expression. He didn’t know that for such a shocking invention, if the inventor’s strength wasn’t sufficient, he or she wouldn’t be able to protect it.

Even Sun Mo himself wouldn’t dare to monopolize this.

At the very least, he had to split a part of the profits and find a business partner among the various countries.

“…”

Sun Mo was somewhat speechless when he saw these people’s attitudes.

(What the hell are you guys thinking of? Is this about money?)

Luckily, there was Luo Liang.

“You can actually create this…”

When Luo Liang spoke halfway, he looked at Sun Mo as he didn’t know what this item was called.

“Spirit fan!”

Sun Mo spoke.

“Right, since this spirit fan could be created, it means that many other things can also be created using this concept. Sun-laoshi has pointed out a path of light for everyone!”

Luo Liang was excited. “The study of spirit runes is truly omnipotent.”

Sun Mo was very gratified, so he applauded.

This was his purpose.

After everyone discovered the meaning represented by the spirit fan, they were all shocked. After that, it was very easy for Sun Mo to continue with his lecture.

No one said anything as everyone was busy writing notes. It was the same for the major characters.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

The bell signaling the end of the class rang out.

“Alright, the lecture ends here!”

Sun Mo smiled and kept his lesson plan before leaving.

“Can you lend me your notes to copy? I want to do a comparison as I’m afraid there might be a mistake.”

“I don’t understand the core concept of that spirit rune. What do you guys think?”

“I don’t understand. That seems to be a concept uniquely possessed by Sun Mo. I think we have to wait for the next lecture to understand more. Wait a minute, are you not someone who majors in weaponsmithing? Why do you suddenly start to learn spirit runes?”

“I suddenly feel that spirit runes are very interesting!”

Everyone was in fervent discussion.

Xie Enhui and Zhou Zerui stared at the students who were discussing intensely. They exchanged mutual glances and noted the deep shock in their eyes.

What was called an ancestor?

This was it!

His lectures would cause people to reflect and long for more. Even after class, the students were unwilling to leave as they were engaged in discussions.

One must know that among these teachers and students, many of them were not interested in spirit runes.

Oh right, logically speaking, everyone should have stood up and applauded to show their thanks after Sun Mo finished his lecture.

But nothing like that happened.

Was this slighting him?

No!

They had completely forgotten to do so.

The lecture effect was simply too good and everyone was too focused. They were still immersed in it.

“Teacher Xie, do you think we can poach Sun Mo?”

Zhou Zerui asked.

“Very difficult!”

Xie Enhui shook her head.

“Sigh, it’s truly extremely regretful that we cannot recruit a talent like him!”

Zhou Zerui sighed deeply.

“Yeah!”

Xie Enhui nodded. She felt the most admiration for Sun Mo among these people here. It wasn’t because of his outstanding knowledge or his forward vision. Instead, it was his magnanimity.

The effect of this lecture was very good. Logically speaking, if Sun Mo brought up the topic of recruitment now, the publicity effect would be extremely strong. However, he didn’t do so.

(Why?)

Because Sun Mo didn’t want to disturb the thinking of these teachers and students.

Ultimately, he still placed the growth of students above his personal interest.

This was then the bearing of a true great teacher!

He was worthy of admiration!

“No matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try. If we can obtain Sun Mo, the study of spirit runes of our Black-White Academy will become the peak of the entire Nine Provinces!”

Zhou Zerui turned and headed toward the headmaster office. He wanted to have a good talk with Wan Kangcheng.

It was a pity that Headmaster Song was in closed-door cultivation, or he might be able to persuade Sun Mo if he personally issued an invitation.. After all, Headmaster Song was a saint.
