Absolute Great Teacher

The words of the middle-aged man caused the entire lecture theater to sink into silence.

Sun Mo’s earliest rise to fame was due to his God Hands. Now that it was time for him to perform, everyone naturally felt much anticipation.

“Is it convenient for me to do an inspection?”

Sun Mo walked over.

“I will have to trouble Teacher Sun then.”

The middle-aged man used the address ‘teacher’ instead of ‘laoshi’. Evidently, he didn’t feel Sun Mo was worthy of the term ‘laoshi’, so he didn’t treat him on that level.

However, Sun Mo didn’t care either.

He stretched out his hand and kneaded the middle-aged man’s shoulder. After that, his hand moved down as he inspected the man’s muscles. He also activated Divine Sight at the same time to obtain more information.

This middle-aged man was Li Jun. Although his cultivation realm wasn’t high, he had extremely good talent in alchemy. This was also the reason why he could remain in the Black-White Academy.

However, there was no lack of talented people here and Li Jun’s cultivation was simply too low for his age of 39 years old.

This caused his competitiveness to decline. Hence, for the sake of staying in the school, he could only devote some time for cultivation. However, the effect was minimal.

Three minutes later, Sun Mo released his hand.

“Teacher Sun, how are things?”

Li Jun asked.

“There’s a very huge problem in your body.”

Sun Mo spoke. However, everyone including Li Jun didn’t treat this as real. In fact, they furrowed their brows in suspicion.

(Do you think you are a fortune-teller?)

All great teachers loathed people who made impractical comments without solid reasoning the most.

“But it’s not considered difficult for me and I can help you achieve a breakthrough!”

Sun Mo smiled as he looked at Li Jun.

(Hehe, as expected, this is the method used by a swindler. But if you can really help me, I won’t give a damn about it.)

Li Jun sneered in his heart.

“Since this is the case, could you quickly display the might of your God Hands?”

Xie Enhui urged.

She was naturally supportive of Sun Mo now and hoped that he could shoot to fame after a single battle.

Sun Mo shook his head. “I won’t treat Li Jun!”

“Why?”

Everyone was astonished. Some people even guessed that Sun Mo might be someone with an undeserved reputation.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Sun Mo’s achievements were too glorious and his fame was too great, some people would already be jumping up to question him now.

Li Jun’s countenance immediately became unsightly as his tone grew sharp.

“Teacher Sun, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I, as a 3-stars great teacher, am not worthy for you to act?”

Although Li Jun used the respectful term for the word ‘you’, his hostility was clear.

Because Sun Mo’s words had an underlying meaning of looking down on him.

Before so many great teachers, how could Li Jun get off the stage?

“It’s over, it’s over. Teacher Sun is in for it now!”

Tang Qian was worried. “Because Teacher Li sells his alchemy pills cheaply, he has plenty of friends. If Sun Mo speaks nonsensically, everyone might turn against him.”

Zhang Guoping stared at her good friend in astonishment. “Why are you speaking out for a teacher from another school?”

“Eh? I don’t wish to do so either, but he is simply too handsome!”

Tang Qian spread her hands. (I also feel very helpless!)

“Teacher Li, please don’t misunderstand. My words don’t have other meanings. I’m not helping you because I feel that if you break through the bottleneck yourself, it will bring you the greatest benefit!”

Sun Mo explained.

“Hehe!”

Li Jun’s laugh was filled with ridicule.

“You may have cultivated to the third level of the Divine Force Realm, but more than half of your cultivation comes from consuming alchemy pills. This is especially so after the fifth level of the Blood Ignition Realm. Your breakthroughs solely depended on alchemy pills.”

Sun Mo explained.

“This has caused great harm to your body.”

Bzz!

Li Jun felt like someone had whacked his head with a cudgel, and he was directly stunned. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Sun Mo.

(God Hands is actually so terrifying?)

(He simply touched me a little and he knew that I depended on eating medicine to break through?)

After that, Li Jun’s face was filled with shame and trepidation. His gaze swiftly glanced at the major characters as he was worried that they might be looking down on him.

One must know that there was a ‘food chain’ in the cultivation world. Those who leveled up using pills were slightly better compared to those who leveled up via cultivating unorthodox techniques.

The great teachers on the scene naturally had no idea how Li Jun broke through usually. They had been guessing whether Sun Mo’s judgment was wrong, but in the end, Li Jun’s expression betrayed himself.

“He is actually correct?”

“Capable!”

“Quiet, let’s continue listening?”

Everyone immediately grew interested.

“I know that it’s very difficult to get a slot to work as a teacher in the Black-White Academy for graduate students. When you graduated, you should be at the second level of the Blood Ignition Realm, and your cultivation base can be considered one of the lower ones.

“You couldn’t depend on your cultivation level as an advantage to stay behind. Hence, you could only use other methods. An example is the alchemy that you are the most proficient in!

“Your thinking is correct. This is why you spent a vast amount of your time improving your alchemy skills. As for your cultivation level, you solely depended on eating alchemy pills to boost it.

“After you managed to remain in the school, you are not the most outstanding one and can only devote more effort into your alchemy. Hence, to save time, you become used to the habit of eating alchemy pills.”

Sun Mo didn’t even need to deduce things.

For such a low-level person, even the system couldn’t be bothered to hide some of his data when Sun Mo used Divine Sight. Hence, Sun Mo directly saw all his stats.

Naturally, the ancient massaging technique could also ‘sense’ this through touch.

The principle was the same as determining the age of trees. However, what was used for humans was their ‘bone age’.

“You were only at the second level of the Blood Ignition Realm when you graduated?”

Zhou Zerui directly inquired.

How would Li Jun dare to lie when facing such a major character? He hurriedly lowered his head and replied.

“Replying to Teacher Zhou, that is correct!”

Hua~

This sentence caused a huge uproar as gazes of shock were turned to Sun Mo.

Sun Mo had stunned everyone with this display.

One must know that Li Jun graduated when he was 20 years old. Another 20 years had passed since then!

And Sun Mo knew his cultivation level 20 years ago with just a touch?

“How fearsome!”

Someone was curious. “Will he be able to tell if one cheated in a relationship?”

“In that case, his wife must be very careful!”

“Are you courting death? His fiancee is An Xinhui!”

These intern teachers spoke with no filter. However, all men loved to speak nonsense, drive cars, and compete with each other in meaningless things.

When young, they naturally had the mood to chat idly about nonsense, but those older male great teachers were silent.

They knew what Sun Mo’s performance meant.

The God Hands fully deserved their reputation!

“His body has the smell of qixiang grass, lingluo, and wild cardamon.”

Sun Mo smiled. “He didn’t sleep last night and was handling herbs even before breakfast.”

All the great teachers who were present subconsciously glanced at Li Jun.

When Li Jun didn’t answer, everyone knew that Sun Mo’s words had to be correct. After all, in such a situation, if one wasn’t fully confident and said something wrong, that would be very embarrassing.

As expected, Li Jun nodded.

Hence, a hint of shock appeared on everyone’s faces once again.

(Do you have a dog nose?)

“One couldn’t help but say that teachers of the Black-White Academy are truly hardworking.”

Sun Mo praised.

The major characters revealed looks of pride.

Honestly speaking, the teachers of the Black-White Academy had heard such praise many times. But it was different when Sun Mo was the one who said it.

Because Sun Mo’s fame was too great.

It was like when a world champion told you that your skill wasn’t bad and flashed a thumbs-up at you. You naturally had to boast about this during your moments on social media, right?

“Do you also know alchemy?”

A female great teacher asked.

“Nope, but I’m a grandmaster-level botanist!”

There was no need to be humble in such a setting. Self-confidence was also a type of charm.

No one doubted this answer. After all, not all botanists would be able to smell the remnant herbal from a person’s body.

“Your problem isn’t merely because of your physical body. There’s a mental aspect here too.”

Sun Mo explained, “If you ate too much medicine and damaged your energy channels, this can still be resolved via external means. But in terms of your mentality, this can only depend on yourself.

“Right now, you have completely lost all confidence of breakthrough by yourself.

“Let me say something unpleasant. You might not lack money and can afford heavenly ingredients that can allow you to achieve a breakthrough. But if you continue to do this, the fifth level of the Divine Force Realm will be the end of your journey.”

Sun Mo’s tone was very serious.

This time around, no one dared to say that he was trying to posture to the crowds.

Li Jun’s countenance lost all color. He turned pale and after some hesitation, he bowed deeply to Sun Mo at a 90-degree angle.

“Sun-laoshi, please save me!”

Li Jun changed his term of address for Sun Mo.

“My suggestion is this. Let go of everything and focus solely on cultivation!”

Sun Mo’s tone was sincere.

“B…but…”

Li Jun’s expression turned unsightly. “If I do so, I might not be able to stay behind in this school.”

“So, this is also a test of your will. When you encounter a fork in your path, which way will you choose?” Sun Mo sighed. “Everyone wants to stay in a famous school, but sometimes, humans should learn to choose! Lastly, I will say one more thing. Your talent in alchemy is really good, but you can only unleash your potential and talent perfectly after you step into the Longevity Realm. If not, in the remaining few decades of your life, you will only be an assistant.”

The 500 teachers and students in the lecture theater were silent for a few seconds. After that, thunderous applause rang out.

Admitting the ‘outstandingness’ of others was also one of Black-White Academy’s good qualities.

Ding!

Congratulations, you obtained a total of +12,101 favorable impression points.

“Thank you for your guidance!”

Li Jun bowed again.

“I hope that you will succeed. Next!”

Sun Mo smiled. He didn’t reciprocate the thanks because he was in the midst of lecturing.

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

As the sound of Sun Mo’s voice faded, numerous arms shot into the air.

As a cultivator, who wouldn’t have some minor problems with their bodies and some doubts? After Sun Mo had proven his capabilities, everyone thirsted for a reply.

In any case, it was free to ask questions.

Sun Mo glanced at the surroundings and seemed to be choosing a student. In actuality, he was using Divine Sight to check for people who were stuck at a bottleneck, on the verge of a breakthrough.

“This female great teacher then?”

Sun Mo pointed to a person.

He did the same routine. He didn’t ask the other party for her situation and directly employed his massaging technique.

“You are not stuck at a bottleneck. Work hard for another month and you will definitely be able to break through!”

Sun Mo retracted his hand.

“Why don’t I feel any improvement? In fact, my strength seems to be weaker now.”

The female great teacher frowned.

“You have been very hard-working since you were young. From when you were 12, it has been 17 years, and you’ve cultivated every day regardless of rain or shine. Some minor problems also appeared in your body and as the days accumulated, these problems started to affect you.”

Sun Mo explained. “Actually, I suggest you rest for ten days to half a month. You should head out and relax, go and view the scenery of famous mountains and rivers. You should maintain the lowest intensity training such as warmups and that would do.

“If you have extra money, you can go and buy some herbs to adjust your body. Those doctors will understand more than me, so you should consult them.”

The diagnosis this time around was very simple, and there weren’t any fancy words.

The only thing that shocked everyone was that Sun Mo managed to find out the female great teacher’s specific cultivation time from his ‘touch’.

“Sun-laoshi, could you please help me?”

The female great teacher bowed. She wanted to experience God Hands.

“Usually, I won’t use my Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands to help people breakthrough because leveling up itself is a test of one’s body and will. However, as for you, you don’t lack the will to improve, and you also don’t lack hard work. Even if I don’t help you, you will at most take one more month to achieve a breakthrough. Hence, I will make an exception.”

Sun Mo smiled.

(Stop joking. I picked you precisely because I want to display my massaging skill.)

“I will have to trouble Sun-laoshi then.”

The female great teacher felt a little nervous. “What should I do?”

“You can simply stand still!”

As Sun Mo spoke, he directly circulated his spirit qi.

Boom!

The genie appeared.

Hua~

Another commotion of shock arose from the crowd.

After all, the revealing clothes worn by the muscular-looking genie were something very unique.

At the very least, such style would be treated as the act of a pervert in the Nine Provinces.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, wanting to observe and learn something. However, to ordinary people, the entire process was truly nothing to write home about.

The muscular dude also didn’t employ any shocking method. He simply kneaded and pressed. Five minutes later, spirit qi started to swirl toward the female great teacher.

After that, the spirit qi increased in amount and gradually formed a large spiral above her head, flowing into her body.

“S…she really starts to achieve a breakthrough?”

Although everyone had guessed this, now that they were personally watching it, they felt extremely shocked.

Li Jun’s eyes narrowed violently. He suddenly felt very envious of the other party’s luck. If he was the one who was treated with God Hands, how good would that be?!

Very soon, the breakthrough ended.

With Sun Mo here, the breakthrough process was extremely stable. It was almost impossible to screw up.

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Warm applause rang out.

“Many thanks for Sun-laoshi’s help!”

The female great teacher lowered her head and bowed respectfully. At the same time, she contributed 1,000 favorable impression points in one go.

“You can sit down!”

Sun Mo turned and spoke steadily, “Next!”

Swish~

This time around, the hands that shot up were akin to trees in a forest. Everyone did so in unison. Even the major characters were preparing to try this.

“This great teacher, please!”

Sun Mo stood behind that logistic department head with the surname ‘Wang’.

(You are truly not polite!)

Xie Enhui was somewhat worried. The more senior someone was, the more experienced he would be. It also meant that it would be harder to convince them.

Right now, Sun Mo’s momentum was very good. Since that was the case, he should take things slow as it was really unwise for him to pick such a target now. But very soon, Xie Enhui started to mock herself.

To geniuses, was there a difference in who they chose?

“Hi Teacher Sun, I’m currently retired. My career is successful and my life is very blissful. I just want to ask how I can live more happily?”

After hearing this, some intern teachers couldn’t help but smile secretly.

(He is coming, he is coming! Teacher Wang Chuan is starting to tease people again.)

He had no malicious intentions and it was only a habit for him to let the young people suffer some ‘disadvantages’ so they would learn.

To him, the more one suffered when they were young, the more fortune they would enjoy when they grew older.

Naturally, Sun Mo wouldn’t be stumped by this minor trick!

(Since I, this great teacher, have chosen you, I naturally have a sure-win method.)

“Are you willing to allow me to do an inspection?”

Sun Mo asked with a smile.

“Please!”

Wang Chuan spread his hands. “Do as you will. I frequent public bathing houses for bathrubs, so I’m very used to this.”

These words sounded a little wrong.

(You can’t possibly be comparing an extremely popular new superstar in the great teacher world to a bathrub master, right?)

Some major characters immediately understood that Wang Chuan was doing all these to suppress Sun Mo, not wanting his ego to swell too high.

After all, this place was the Black-White Academy.
