Absolute Great Teacher

Translator: Lordbluefire

Not putting on any airs of a saint, Ji Shiwen treated Sun Mo extremely well and arranged everything for him methodically.

“He probably treats his son just like this, right?”

Gu Xiuxun felt very astonished. (Sun Mo is indeed very outstanding, but he is after all someone from another academy, right?)

If it wasn’t for the fact that Gu Xiuxun knew Ji Shiwen had no daughters, she would have suspected that Ji Shiwen was treating Sun Mo like a son-in-law. And just to state it in passing, Ji Shiwen also didn’t have any

sons.

Because up until now, he hadn’t married.

Feeling the sincerity of the host, Sun Mo tactfully told Ji Shiwen that he didn’t need a luxurious mansion, beautiful maids, or delicious food. It was fine even if everything was casual.

Just like this, for the next half a month, Sun Mo gave three lectures per day in the Skyraise Academy and directly proved his talent. Originally, some doubters had wanted to challenge him, but right now, all of them shut

their mouths.

Their young teachers were inferior to Sun Mo, and while the high star-ranking great teachers did have some capabilities, they didn’t dare to challenge Sun Mo directly. After all, they were many times older than Sun

Mo.

In this case, it was only normal if they won, but if they lost, their reputation would sweep the ground.

Hence, Sun Mo’s talented image became fixed in the minds of many people.

In the Skyraise Academy, Ji Shiwen accompanied Sun Mo to tour the campus.

“How’s the atmosphere of my academy?”

Ji Shiwen had both hands behind his back, while he stared at the teachers and students walking by. It was like a farmer watching the growth of the seedlings he planted. He was filled with pride and anticipation.

“Very good!”

Sun Mo honestly spoke. The learning atmosphere in the Skyraise Academy was very intense. They didn’t feel complacent because they were a supreme-tier famous school and hence neglected their studies. On the

contrary, they worked doubly hard and cherished their time more, treating every day like the last day of their lives.

This sense of pressure for improvement caused Sun Mo to feel self-inferior.

“May I know how Saint Ji guides them?”

Sun Mo sincerely consulted because it was said that all these changes were caused by Ji Shiwen.

“Our lives might seem long, but sleep already takes up one-third of our time. And after we deduct time for meals, relaxation, and miscellaneous tasks, the amount of time we have remaining is less than half. Isn’t it a

pity just thinking about it?”

Ji Shiwen stared at the brightly-lit teaching building not far away. “Many people actually fritter their lives away, making their lives meaningless.”

Sun Mo fell silent.

“I can only tell them that they must never waste their time and talent!”

Ji Shiwen was a very busy man, so he hated wasting time.

However, after Sun Mo arrived here, Ji Shiwen had been accompanying him, and this was the most relaxed period of his life ever since he started going to school at twelve years old. But Sun Mo didn’t know about it.

Concepts such as playing and relaxing didn’t exist in Ji Shiwen’s mind.

“Just like how we make fun of the summer bug being ignorant of the winter cold, to the vast and long river of time, aren’t our lives merely a droplet of water in the ocean?”

Ji Shiwen sighed. “Time will destroy everything. If you want to leave behind a trace that belongs to you, you will have to create something or have a grand undertaking that time cannot erode!”

Sun Mo started when he heard this.

Wasn’t this ambition a little too lofty?

(I’m just a tiny and inconsequential human. I’m not worthy of listening to this, right?)

Sun Mo did have the thought of becoming a saint. After all, this was the peak of life. But honestly speaking, he didn’t put in all his effort into pursuing this goal. This was especially so after his relationship with Gu

Xiuxun improved. Now, he felt that leading life as a salted fish was pretty good as well.

“Teacher Sun, do you want to come and be the headmaster of the Skyraise Academy?”

Ji Shiwen turned his head and looked at Sun Mo with the light of encouragement in his eyes. There was also a sense of admiration and hope in them.

“Ah?”

Sun Mo was stunned.

“As long as you agree, | will pave the remaining path for you!”

Ji Shiwen smiled.

“Are you not overestimating me a little too much?”

Sun Mo had a self-mocking smile on his face.

Although Ji Shiwen spoke in a very relaxed manner, Sun Mo knew that this was very difficult.

n any circle, there would always be vested interests.

For example, the Skyraise Academy already had three vice headmasters, and they all had their own backing behind them. If Sun Mo suddenly appeared, it meant that the biggest piece of cake would be given to him, so

how would they agree?

n this famous school, there were disciples whose statuses ranked among the highest and most precious in the Nine Provinces. They were the smartest geniuses, the best combatants, and the most talented experts,

people who could be the controllers of a region when they matured.

By becoming the headmaster, from a broad perspective, Sun Mo could influence the world view, ideology, and thoughts of these students and make this world develop in line with his ideas.

From a narrow perspective, how terrifying would Sun Mo’s influence be by becoming a headmaster of so many heaven-chosens? At the very least, he could form a supreme faction that belonged to himself.

ff Sun Mo was a little bit shameless, he could even ensure that his clan would continue to be in power by using this position.

“Humans are creatures of emotions. If they have descendants, they will surely nurture them and continue accumulating wealth. These are the basic things in life that will never change.”

Ji Shiwen gazed at some of the great teachers who were passing by in the distance. “I didn’t request them to contribute impartially, but I don’t want to see powerful great teacher clans lasting over thousands of years.

“It’s like when a tree exists for too long, worms would infest it, causing it to wither. If a clan exists for too long, similar problems will also occur and it will eventually endanger this world. And those commoners will be

akin to ants that cannot struggle. They will surely be harmed.”

Sun Mo rubbed his nose. “Saint, you are overestimating me. I will also marry a wife and give birth to kids. If that happens, I definitely will accumulate wealth and knowledge to pass down to them. I have no wish for

them to lead lowly lives damned by poverty.”

Sun Mo knew that Ji Shiwen didn’t have a wife or a kid. (Could it be because of this ambition he has?)

“I like your honesty!”

Ji Shiwen chortled and forcefully patted Sun Mo on his shoulders.

“Hehe!”

Sun Mo felt a little overwhelmed by a favor from a superior.

“I’m not asking you to put down everything to make the world become a better place!”

Ji Shiwen laughed. “I only feel that since we old men have to choose successors sooner or later, we might as well choose a junior with a wider vision, more talents, a heavier sense of righteousness, and bigger dreams.”

Hearing this, Sun Mo bowed slightly to thank Ji Shiwen for his doting and care.

“How about it? Do you want to be the headmaster of the Skyraise Academy?” Ji Shiwen asked.

Sun Mo shook his head. “I can’t uphold such a heavy responsibility!”

After that, Ji Shiwen seriously surveyed Sun Mo, not looking disappointed. Rather, he began to laugh.

Sun Mo’s answer indicated that he could see himself clearly and could withstand temptation.

“No matter what, you still have plenty of time!” Ji Shiwen laughed. “Oh right. Young men have to learn self-control, don’t damage your body.”

Swish~

Sun Mo blushed. He knew that his matter with Gu Xiuxun had been seen through by the headmaster.

However, it was indeed true that he had been too unrestrained recently. Even his powerful back that was supported by his Longevity Realm cultivation base had started to ache.

At night, they had a good chat and dinner. After that, Sun Mo bade farewell and walked toward the library.

As Ji Shiwen looked at Sun Mo’s departing back, his expression gradually turned cold and was filled with a hint of desolation. “Sadly, I don’t have much time left!”

(I have to do my best and quickly find an outstanding leader for the Skyraise Academy.)

Although the three vice headmasters were not bad, they could at most maintain their current levels and had no hope of advancing. It also meant that it was impossible for them to create miracles..
