Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1115: Chess of Life

Boom!

The chess piece suddenly emitted an extremely hot and resplendent light. In an instant, the light intensity grew as bright as a newly born sun!

“Murong!”

An Xinhui shouted. At the same time, as she closed her eyes, she also covered Lu Zhiruo’s eyes with her hands and dragged her back rapidly.

“Don’t look!”

Murong Mingyue reminded them in a loud voice. She then grabbed Li Ziqi and retreated with explosive speed, moving far away from the giant chess piece.

Although Mei Ziyu, Gu Xiuxun, and Jin Mujie had no idea what had just happened, the light from the chess piece was simply too blinding. They even felt a burning sense of pain.

They knew they ought to leave first!

(But what about Sun Mo?)

After that, they heard a scream.

“What’s going on?”

Xie Enhui was confused.

Nothing like this had ever happened in the history of the Black-White Academy.

Also, when the light erupted, Xie Enhui’s reaction speed was definitely enough for her to close her eyes. But then she saw the galaxy map on the external shell of the chess piece showing shapes she had never seen before. This caused her to be in a daze, and she unluckily damaged her eyes from not closing them in time.

For this type of mysterious darkness secret treasure, the school had expended a large amount of manpower and physical resources to research it. Basically, there shouldn’t be any major unexpected incidents happening. But now, it had changed because of Sun Mo.

Luckily, the bright light only flashed for an instant before it regained its usual intensity.

“Sun Mo, can you hear me?”

An Xinhui shouted.

Chi! Chi!

A large amount of white mist spewed out as the cover opened.

Sun Mo climbed out from the jelly. After seeing An Xinhui and the others having heavy looks on their faces, he felt puzzled. “What’s the matter?”

“Ai? Aunty Xie?”

Sun Mo was badly shocked. Xie Enhui’s eyes were swollen and red. Tear stains covered her face.

“I’m fine!”

Xie Enhui was extremely apologetic. “Everyone, please wait here for a while. I’ll arrange for others to accompany you guys to tour around.”

“Sis Xinhui, you should accompany Aunty Xie!”

Sun Mo instructed.

After they left, Sun Mo looked at Mei Ziyu.

“After you entered, this item suddenly erupted forth with intense light and injured her eyes.”

Mei Ziyu was bewildered. “Something strange must have happened and caused her to be overly shocked to the point where she forgot to close her eyes!”

“Yeah, if not, given her strength, it’s impossible for her to be unable to react in time!”

Murong Mingyue analyzed.

“What should we do? Should we continue to play?”

Lu Zhiruo was worried.

“System, do you know the origins of this thing?”

Sun Mo had used Divine Sight to inspect it, but it only showed the words ‘unknown target’.

The system was silent.

“Why are you not saying anything?” Sun Mo asked. “Could it be that this thing has a connection with you?”

“No comments!”

The system’s voice was as emotionless as ever. “Also, don’t make random guesses. Don’t compare me with this rubbish.”

“As expected, you know what it is.”

Sun Mo narrowed his eyes.

Speaking of which, what was the system exactly? What method did it use to make him into its host?

Also, how did it give out the rewards?

“Stop guessing. The level and thinking of you humans are too low class. Even after 10,000 years, you guys won’t be able to understand my existence.”

The system mocked Sun Mo.

“Aren’t you too arrogant?”

Sun Mo was very unhappy with the system’s tone.

“Haha, you can’t even understand this item. Are you qualified to say that I’m arrogant?”

The system was pleased as punch.

“What if I choose to suicide?”

Sun Mo suddenly interrupted, causing the system to start. After that, it laughed. “Why do you want to do something that will cause both sides to suffer?

“After you die, I naturally would have wasted a large amount of time. But I’m an eternal existence. I can always nurture another host.”

After the system finished speaking, it fell silent again.

Such a conversation was meaningless. It didn’t wish to continue.

“Let me enter again to take a look!”

Just when Sun Mo wanted to move, he was stopped by Mei Ziyu.

“Don’t. It’s too dangerous!”

She was worried.

“It will be fine!”

Sun Mo stroked her hair and lay down.

But this time around, there was no radiant light being emitted.

(Hmm, don’t use the gaze of how you look at a younger sister to look at me!)

Mei Ziyu pouted.

Not long later, Wan Kangcheng arrived.

After all, the Black-White Star Disk was the ultimate treasure of their school. Nothing must happen to it.

“Is Teacher Sun inside?”

He then stood next to the cabin and observed the diagram carefully. After that, joy filled his face.

“More star atlases have appeared!”

Wan Kangcheng was so happy that he wanted to jump up. “Quick, go look for Teacher Miao and get him to record these star atlases down.”

“Headmaster Wan…”

An Xinhui frowned.

“Oh, don’t worry. Nothing bad has happened.”

Wan Kangcheng laughed. “If one wants to activate the Black-White Star Disk, they will need immense mental strength. This time around, Teacher Sun has helped us greatly.”

An Xinhui returned the smile, but her heart was thinking different thoughts.

This old fellow must be hiding something.

If this solely depended on mental strength, how could the saints throughout the generations in the Black-White Academy be inferior to Sun Mo?

Naturally, although Sun Mo’s mental strength had surged to a terrifying level after he had inherited the Battle God Will, it should still be inferior to a saint’s.

An Xinhui had guessed correctly. To activate the star disk, mental strength was needed, but what was truly needed was mental strength of a special wavelength.

Not only must it be strong, but it must be compatible too.

Naturally, the details were only known to the headmasters of the successive generations.

As a vice headmaster, Wan Kangcheng originally had no qualifications to know this. But because Headmaster Song had to enter closed-door cultivation, he had no choice but to break the rule and reveal this to Wan Kangcheng.

“Teacher Sun!”

Wan Kangcheng carefully observed Sun Mo who came out from the chess piece. He then suppressed the impulse to headhunt Sun Mo. It was better to observe more for now.

“Headmaster Wan, I don’t think this thing is damaged!”

Sun Mo smiled apologetically.

“Teacher Sun, you don’t have to worry too much. Let’s go, I will bring you guys to play the Black-White Game!”

Wan Kangcheng led the way.

Although An Xinhui and the others didn’t undergo the testing, Wan Kangcheng directly exempted them. Since even Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo could pass, the others definitely wouldn’t have a problem.

“Ah? Allowing us to play?”

Lu Zhiruo was astonished. “So that old man is a good person!”

From the papaya girl’s point of view, since Sun Mo had caused such a large unexpected matter to happen, he would definitely be forbidden to play the game before the reason for the unexpected matter was verified.

“Fool!”

Li Ziqi’s heart wasn’t as big as Lu Zhiruo’s.

(Maybe, Wan Kangcheng wants to make use of our teacher to test something? In any case, it’s best to be careful!)

Everyone followed Wan Kangcheng and went down another level. After walking through a 30-meter tunnel, they entered a vast and majestic great hall.

“Wow!”

When Lu Zhiruo entered, she involuntarily cried out.

This great hall was square-shaped. There was a platform built three meters above the ground.

Staring down from the air, one could see horizontal and vertical lines forming numerous squares, and there was a chess piece placed on each of the squares.

These chess pieces were smaller compared to the one Sun Mo had entered earlier. They were about the size of something smaller than a single bed, and there was just enough space for one person to lie inside.

Sun Mo did a rough count and there were over 100 squares. However, there were only 50 chess pieces or gaming cabins.

“What are these stones?”

Gu Xiuxun was astonished.

The platform and chess pieces were all built with transparent crystal, and some were covered with a layer of light.

“Why are some shiny and some not?”

Lu Zhiruo was very curious.

“Those shining are currently in use by people.”

Wan Kangcheng explained. After that, he activated Lotus Step and walked onto the platform. It felt as though there were invisible stairs in the air. “Everyone, follow me!”

“Wow, so many gamers!”

Sun Mo recalled the time when he was in university. At that time, the whole dorm headed to a web cafe to play games.

Everyone leaped up onto the platform.

Li Ziqi pulled Lu Zhiruo along. After that, the two of them activated the Skyward Spirit Rune and flew upward but didn’t land.

“Would we damage it?”

Lu Zhiruo was very cautious.

“Hehe, although it won’t be damaged, please try to thread more tenderly!”

Wan Kangcheng explained. He saw something from the corner of his eyes and started. This was because those two girls were floating in the air.

(This… Is this the effect granted by the flying-type spirit rune? Indeed, it is very magical!)

Wan Kangcheng possessed Lotus Step and could stand in the air. However, the number of great teachers who comprehended that halo was too few. And as for Sun Mo’s spirit rune, one could use it the moment they tattooed it on their body.

Even if the other party was a newbie in the cultivation world, they could do so as well.

(Sigh! Why isn’t such an outstanding teacher a seedling from my Black-White Academy?)

“Alright, these few chess pieces are free for you all to use. Everyone, why don’t you guys enter the chess of life here?”

As Wan Kangcheng spoke, he touched a chess piece. “Just press here and the chess piece will open!”

Chi~

White mist spewed as the cover opened.

“I won’t say anything about how to proceed with the game of chess. You guys should try things out yourself!”

Wan Kangcheng smiled. “This can also be considered a type of fun!”

Actually, he wanted to see if Sun Mo could excavate any new functions.

“Many thanks, Headmaster Wan!”

An Xinhui thanked him.

“Let’s get started!”

Gu Xiuxun was impatient.

After Sun Mo clasped his fists and thanked Wan Kangcheng, he lay down in the chess piece.

Wan Kangcheng’s countenance grew heavy. The chess piece brightened up, and this meant that Sun Mo had connected with the gaming cabin. However, the intensity of the light was normal.

“Headmaster, why are you here?”

Zhang Wentao climbed out from the chess piece. He started when he saw Wan Kangcheng. After that, he understood. “Sun Mo has come?”

“Why? Do you want to hide?”

Wan Kangcheng frowned.

He knew that Zhang Wentao had been hiding from Sun Mo these couple of days.

“…”

Zhang Wentao pursed his lips.

“If you want to defeat someone, you have to understand them first. Building a cart behind closed doors won’t work!”

Wan Kangcheng lectured him.

Zhang Wentao hurriedly lowered his head. “This student understands!”

…

Sun Mo moved his body a bit. He wasn’t prepared yet, but after blinking his eyes, the galaxy diagram vanished and was replaced by a thatched cottage surrounded by fences.

In the courtyard, outside the house, there were a few plots of vegetable beds with ducks and chickens running around wildly. There was even an old yellow dog that was wagging its tail. It then walked toward a willow tree and took a nap under its shade.

“Could this be the interface of selecting a character?”

Sun Mo felt that this was very interesting.

A female voice rang out, but Sun Mo couldn’t understand it.

“Could it be introducing the story’s background? Xinhui and the others are in for a shock.”

Sun Mo was secretly joyful.

Although he didn’t know this language, he had played many games and watched various movies before. When there were no subtitles, he could only train his guessing powers.

The current situation was probably like this.

Very soon, a man and a woman walked out from the thatched cottage.

“I have to choose between these two? Can’t I create my own character?”

Sun Mo was planning how to go about this, but he suddenly recalled that he was someone with golden fingers.

“System, do you have this language for sale?”

Sun Mo asked.
