Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1297 Night of Sudden Changes

A blazing fire raged through Gulou Street.

Sounds of crying could be heard because some houses were burnt. Although no one died, their houses and savings were all gone. How would they still live in the future?

Rumble!

The welfare agency was razed to the ground; sparks flew everywhere resembling fireflies.

“Teacher!”

Lu Zhiruo shouted loudly. She opened her eyes wide and stared at the fire, searching for Sun Mo’s silhouette.

Rumble!

Sun Mo broke out from the sea of flames and dashed out.

“Teacher!”

Li Ziqi and the others immediately went over.

Not only had his students arrived, but An Xinhui also came.

“How is it?”

After An Xinhui ascertained that Sun Mo wasn’t injured, she silently heaved a sigh of relief.

“No corpses!” Sun Mo’s depression was solemn.

“Ah?” Lu Zhiruo’s eyes immediately turned red. “Those children are so pitiful. They haven’t even enjoyed a day of fortune yet.”

Pak!

Li Ziqi rapped the papaya girl’s head. “What are you blindly talking about?”

“Mn?”

Lu Zhiruo clutched her head with a puzzled expression. “Are those children not burned into ashes? That is why there are no more corpses. Could it be that my understanding is wrong?”

“Although the strength of the fire is great, it’s impossible for humans to turn to ashes so quickly. There will surely be remains.”

Li Ziqi explained.

“Why are you here?”

Sun Mo glanced in the direction of the Central Province Academy and felt an uneasy feeling.

WII

“Even the welfare agency was burned, so I naturally have to rush here to take a look.”

An Xinhui felt heartache.

Today, An Xinhui also knew that over ten examinees died when a pleasure boat sank. She didn’t appear then, but things were different

now.

Although those who had stayed here were orphans who had no homes to return to, and their ‘value’ was inferior to those examinees, it was precisely because they were kids that An Xinhui decided to come here and see if she could do anything to help. “We might have fallen for a lure.”

Sun Mo instructed, “Ziqi, lead your junior martial siblings to handle things here.”

After speaking, Sun Mo activated the Skyward Spirit Rune and flew back to the school.

An Xinhui hurriedly followed.

“Teacher!”

Li Ziqi grew anxious. If something happened at the school, she would want to go back to help. But she knew that her teacher did this for the sake of protecting them all.

“Sun Mo, don’t worry. There’s Saint Yang, Secondary Saint Shi, and Secondary Saint Hu there. How much strength does the Dark Dawn have to mobilize before they can cause destruction in our school?”

An Xinhui was very calm.

Although those Starlords were dark great teachers, they wouldn’t do such a thing that was unbefitting of their statuses. As for stealing valuable precious treasures?

The most valuable thing in the Central Province Academy was Sun Mo.

If they wanted to steal the darkness illusion dojo, it was impossible to move it away in the span of a single night. Besides, it was useless even if the Dark Dawn seized that.

“Could they be here for the old headmaster?”

Sun Mo guessed.

“It can’t be, right?”

An Xinhui shook his head. “If they want to do anything to my grandpa, why would they wait until now? Besides, my grandpa now is like a living dead. He has no value to them at all.”

“What about the Great Dream Heart Sutra?”

Sun Mo had been in the Central Province Academy for so many years. He knew very well what was most valuable here.

“Although our school’s ultimate art is top tier, it isn’t sufficient to make the Dark Dawn send their powerful forces over, right?”

An Xinhui felt that Sun Mo was worrying too much. At the starlord-level, they themselves would have trained in peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts.

Rather than wasting time to learn a new cultivation art, they might as well do research and see how they could unleash 200% combat strength using a cultivation art they were familiar with.

“No matter what, let’s speak after we return!”

Sun Mo once again increased his flying speed.

The Central Province Academy, in the campus that was dotted with greenery.

Yang Shizhan was idly walking on the stone-paved pathway. As a saint, he ought to have the demeanor of one. He mustn’t panic when encountering enemies.

(Speaking of which, it has been over 300 years since I last fought? I feel a little unfamiliar with it now.)

Yang Shizhan mocked himself. He wasn’t worried that he might not be a match for these hegemons from the Dark Dawn. After all, ever since he became a secondary saint, no one dared to fight him any longer. (However, in order to repay Teacher Sun’s kindness, I will guard this school even if I have to fight to the death.)

Yang Shizhan treated matters of death very lightly.

All of a sudden. Saint Yang halted and turned his head in astonishment, staring to the left at a skinny figure standing near the trees.

(The person who came is actually a Saint from the Dark Dawn?)

Yang Shizhan’s expression turned heavy. The other party could silently stand there and be undiscovered by him. This indicated that this opponent was very powerful.

“Sir, might I inquire your name?”

Yang Shizhan clasped his hands. The mysterious man didn’t reply and was muttering words from a language Yang Zhishan couldn’t understand.

“Although you aren’t matured enough, you can be harvested. After all, your potential is merely at this level. Even if I give you another 300 years, you won’t be able to improve much.” Yang Shizhan didn’t understand and was wondering if this person was a nutjob. He then asked.

“Could we please head outside the city before we fight?” Yang Shizhan didn’t want to harm the innocent. If not, when saints fought, the entire academy might be demolished.

“No need!”

Just as the mysterious person’s voice rang out, he suddenly appeared right before Yang Shizhan. His speed was extremely quick, to the extent that it surpassed Saint Yang’s perception.

“Why?”

Yang Shizhan was badly shocked and subconsciously punched out. However, the other party’s finger had already landed on his glabella.

Pak!

The entire space seemed to pause for a moment.

The gust of the night wind, the sudden stoppage of the insects’ cries, the swaying branches…all of them seemed to be frozen completely. However, half a blink later, they regained their state of normalcy.

Everything seemed as though they remained unchanged.

However, Saint Yang had vanished. On the pathway, only the mysterious person remained. Yang Shizhan’s robe was currently beneath his feet.

The mysterious person cast a glance at the ordinary robe.

Boom!

The robe disintegrated into dust before being blown away by the wind.

The mysterious person then turned his gaze into the direction of the Sorrowless Lake. He took a step out and vanished.

Under the Sorrowless Lake, inside the secret chamber.

Because the info report was detailed enough, in addition to the Zero Saint being extremely strong, he easily broke the mechanism and stood in front of the chamber.

Before him, there was a piece of stone-like board that was made from a material that was neither crystal stone nor metal. There were also incomprehensible patterns carved on it.

The Zero Saint was surveying it with curiosity.

It was said that this stone board was something the first-generation headmaster of the Central Province Academy, who was also An Xinhui’s ancestor, found in the Darkness Continent. He then managed to comprehend the peerless-grade saint-tier Great Dream Heart Sutra from it.

At the level of secondary saints, everyone preferred to compete with their knowledge and verbal spars to determine victory. It was very rare for them to fight. So, although the Great Dream Heart Sutra was very powerful, the number of great teachers who had truly witnessed it was very few.

As the saying goes, a person’s name, a tree’s shadow. The descendants of the An Clan could scare many people into retreat when they were out and about in the world.

“Interesting!” The Zero Saint took a few more glances and felt these patterns were very profound. They contained a mysterious energy. However, he remembered that the Dawn Sovereign reminded him not to stay for too long in the Central Province Academy. He was to leave as soon as possible once he obtained it.

The Dawn Sovereign could be said to be one of the three strongest people in the Nine Provinces. Since even he was so cautious, the Zero Saint naturally had to be extra careful.

He no longer looked at the stone board. He was preparing to keep it and bring it away with him. However, at the next second, his movements halted.

The Zero Saint turned his body and glanced at the door of the secret chamber.

“Mn?”

There was an old man with white hair standing there. His hair was like silver strands that drapped down the back of his head. His body is extremely skinny, just like a dried corpse.

The great teacher robes he was wearing were made from ordinary materials. There were some creases and it was normal-sized. However, because this old man was simply too shriveled, it made the robes look relatively large.

No one paid attention to his facial features because his eyes were simply too soul-stealing and striking. Those who were looked at by him would feel that all their thoughts were seen through. “The old headmaster?” The Zero Saint chortled. “Indeed, you have awakened.”

This was An Xinhui’s grandfather, the old headmaster who became a vegetable due to failing to break through to the Saint Realm.

“As expected of a Saint from the Dark Dawn, you are indeed very strong.”

The old headmaster surveyed the Zero Saint and nodded. “It has already matured, I should harvest it now!”

“What’s this fellow talking about?”

The Zero Saint frowned. This old man gave him a very weird feeling.

“Do you want to surrender or fight to the death?”

The old headmaster stared at Zero Saint. “Seeing how outstanding you are, I shall give you a chance to retaliate!” “I don’t understand what gibberish you are spouting!”

The Zero Saint punched out as he spoke.

Boom!

In his vision, the entire space started warping. They were clearly over thirty meters apart, but the Zero Saint’s punch still appeared right before the old headmaster.

The old headmaster rubbed his eye and flicked out a finger against the fist.

Rumble!

The punch collapsed.

The Zero Saint then stepped forth and went all

out.

On the campus, beside the teaching building, the Corona Starlord was currently fighting against Secondary Saint Shi and Secondary Saint Hu.

“Where’s that Saint?”

The Daybreak Starlord drank a mouthful of soymilk and stared at the surroundings. “We have already created such a huge commotion, but why don’t we see him?” “Is he sleeping?”

The Daynight Starlord frowned. Given Yang Shizhan’s gratitude toward Sun Mo, he wouldn’t have chosen to flee. In that case, only one answer remained. He must have gone to the secret chamber under the Sorrowless Lake to intercept and kill the Zero Saint.

However, the Daynight Starlord couldn’t sense any spirit qi fluctuations at all. This meant that no combat had occurred.

“Stop watching the show and quickly seize our target!” The Corona Starlord urged. “Leave these two secondary saints to me!”

“Where do you think you are going?” Secondary Saint Shi took the chance that appeared when the Corona Starlord was fighting Secondary Saint Hu. His figure then flashed and reappeared beside the Daybreak Starlord before punching out heavily.

But before his attack could hit.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Countless motes of starlight erupted forth from the Daybreak Starlord and shot toward Secondary Saint Shi, engulfing him.

“Secondary saints like you guys have been living in peace for far too long. You basically don’t know how to fight.”

The Daybreak Starlord snorted in disdain. People like him would frequently kill and plunder in the Darkness Continent. Their practical combat experience was off-the-charts.

Very soon, these two Starlords entered the secret chamber, but other than a mysterious person standing before the stone board, there was basically no sign of the Zero Saint’s existence.

However, the Zero Saint’s clothing could be seen on the ground. There was also a black ring and in the crystal that was embedded in the ring, the word ‘Zero’ could be seen on it

“Eh? The Zero Saint died?”

The Daybreak Starlord was badly shocked.

“The old headmaster?”

The Daynight Starlord surveyed the skinny old man and his expression gradually grew heavy.
