Absolute Great Teacher

Wanyan Zhenghe could use the excuse of not knowing the study of spirit runes. If he did that, no one would mock him even if he said that he didn’t recognize these runes.

However, as Jin Country’s little prince, Wanyan Zhenghe cared a lot about his face and wouldn’t announce his incapability in public. Therefore, he glared toward the few students who majored in the study of spirit runes.

His meaning was very clear. (You guys don’t even understand such simple spirit runes?)

These students averted their gaze in embarrassment.

“Trash!”

Wanyan Zhenghe scolded.

“Teacher, don’t keep us in suspense anymore. Please tell us!”

Someone outside urged.

“These are all Spirit-Gathering Runes!”

Sun Mo gave out the answer, but before his last note ended, someone let out a piercing scream as if their butt had been pierced by a rusty metal pike.

“Impossible!”

A guy who had a hairstyle of over ten braids questioned, “I have memorized the Spirit-Gathering Rune and all of its variations. These are definitely not amongst them.”

“Of course, they aren’t. It’s because they are all my unique creations!”

Sun Mo shrugged.

“All… all of them?”

The guy with the braided hairstyle was stunned. (Are you f*cking kidding me? It’s already amazing for one to be able to create a unique spirit rune, but you’ve created one, two… no, a total of six of them? Who do you think you are?)

The silent lecture theater suddenly became noisy. At the very end, after the students who majored in the study of spirit runes told the others how unbelievable Sun Mo’s words were, intense discussions filled up the entire lecture theater.

Sun Mo didn’t explain anything and tore up a spirit rune.

Swoosh!

The first spirit rune was activated.

Boom!

A small fist-size tornado appeared. Then, like a vortex, it started to crazily absorb spirit qi from the surroundings, causing them to gush into the lecture theater.

The students took deep breaths, wearing intoxicated expressions.

Spirit qis were like the sweetest spring water to cultivators, making one have a strong urge to soak in them forever.

The purer and denser the spirit qi, the greater the benefits to cultivators.

Before the spirit qi dissipated, Sun Mo smiled and tore up a second spirit rune.

Similarly, another spirit qi tornado formed.

Then, a third, a fourth…

The students were all dumbstruck. It was because such powerful effects of the spirit runes were enough to explain everything.

This intern teacher who came from the Central Plains and had the surname Sun didn’t lie. All six spirit runes he had drawn were Spirit-Gathering Runes. Moreover, their level was extremely high.

…

As the spirit qi fluctuations from Sun Mo’s class were too great, they affected the other classes. Therefore, many students started to put their heads out of the window, looking out.

“What’s happening? Is someone striving for a breakthrough?”

“What the hell? Are they not letting others continue with their lessons? Can’t they go elsewhere to strive for a breakthrough?”

“I think it’s on the first floor. Come, let’s go take a look!”

When the self-studying students as well as a few idle teachers came down, they realized that many people had gathered along this corridor and they were unable to squeeze their way to the front.

…

“Do you believe it now?”

Sun Mo’s lips curled up into a faint smile. He didn’t appear proud and overbearing, nor did he appear pushy after stepping over Wanyan Zhenghe. He was like an amicable great teacher who was teaching his students, making one feel as if a gust of warm spring wind had swept by. It felt very comfortable.

“Teacher, be honest. You must have found these Spirit-Gathering Runes in some darkness ruins right?”

There were still some people who didn’t believe it. Wanyan Zhenghe’s lackeys were making the greatest fuss over this.

It was because this was really too unbelievable.

Even simplified spirit runes wouldn’t have many differences from their mainstream spirit rune. However, these six spirit runes all had completely different diagrams.

If they weren’t activated, no one would believe that they were all Spirit-Gathering Runes.

One of them looked like it had a lot of straight lines that ran vertically and horizontally, seeming extremely weird.

Of course, modern people who had seen a circuit board before wouldn’t find this spirit rune to be strange.

After having been exposed to the spirit rune murals in the Battlegod Canyon, Sun Mo’s understanding of this subject had risen.

He had broken away from the initial phase of learning via imitation to the level where he could use his own spirit rune language to express his thoughts.

This was a topic that those at the great ancestor level were looking into.

Any ancestor-level spirit runist would be able to draw out more than one of their own unique Spirit-Gathering Rune creations. However, they just couldn’t be bothered to waste the effort.

That was because the spirit runes that were passed down had been tested by time and were the most suitable to the masses for usage and learning.

“Student, it’s also a merit to admit other people’s excellence!”

Sun Mo smiled. “Alright, let’s not waste time on such unimportant questions. The reason I’m doing this is to tell everyone one thing.”

“The study of spirit runes isn’t something fixed and never changing. Let your imagination be free and not be bound down by fixed recognitions. Remember one thing, there’s nothing that these runes cannot do. They can create a world.”

Even students who didn’t major in the study of spirit runes fell silent, putting serious thoughts in Sun Mo’s words.

It was because this saying could also be applied to other subjects.

“Sigh, geniuses are really different. Their ability to draw inferences from one thing is really strong.”

Sun Mo felt very emotional when he looked at these students.

If the Central Province Academy was unable to recruit students of such caliber, they could forget about squeezing into the ranks of the Nine Greats forever.

Pa pa!

Sun Mo clapped his hands.

“Alright, if you want to think about things, do it after class. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come to ask me. Right now, let’s continue with the class.”

Sun Mo was about to continue when he suddenly saw a student tilting to the side and falling to the ground with a thud. The student had fallen unconscious.

“Ahh!”

A female student by the side let out a scream in fright.

Sun Mo darted over quickly, pressing down on the student’s artery on his neck.

“It’s fine. It’s a small issue. It’s just a case of spirit intoxication.”

Sun Mo let out a sigh of relief.

Spirit intoxication?

The students were all stunned.

Spirit intoxication was a phenomenon that would occur where the spirit qi was too dense and the student’s body was unable to withstand it. It was similar to having drunk too much alcohol.

The better a student’s aptitude, the harder it was for them to experience spirit intoxication. It was because not only was the environment they were in had sparse spirit qi, but the amount of spirit qi they could take in would also be extremely high.

But now, someone had fainted because of spirit intoxication.

This could only show that the effects of these six Spirit-Gathering Runes were too astonishing.

“I was wondering why I feel a little giddy. Turns out that it’s a slight case of spirit intoxication.”

“God, aren’t these Spirit-Gathering Runes too powerful?”

“F*ck, if I can stay in such a dense level of spirit qi every day, how much would my cultivation efficiency increase?”

The students talked amongst themselves. When they looked toward Sun Mo again, there was already some respect in their gazes. Some quick-witted ones immediately sat down and started their meditation.

This spirit qi would dissipate away in a while. It’d be a waste to not use them.

Most students were very simple-minded. They’d show respect as long as the teacher was amazing.

Ding!

Congratulations, you’ve received a total of +501 favorable impression points.

“There’s only so little contribution from so many students. Tsk tsk, as expected, one from another ethnic group must work hard and produce greater achievements to be able to receive their recognition.”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched slightly before he instructed, “Can I trouble two students to send him back to his dorm to rest?”

No one made a move.

Sun Mo frowned, thinking to himself that his appeal was really low. Therefore, he could only repeat what he had said one more time. It was a pity that no one stepped forward.

“…”

Sun Mo instantly felt like cursing out. (Is my performance insufficient to convince one or two students to get them to listen to me?)

Sun Mo had misunderstood the students. It was because his teaching was so good that no students wanted to leave. Even though they might not understand, they wanted to increase their knowledge.

“Teacher, hurry up and teach. One won’t die just from spirit intoxication. Just let him rest on the table and sleep!”

Although the guy with a braided hairstyle was urging Sun Mo, there was respect in his tone.

“That’s right. Teacher, don’t be wasting time.”

“Can you explain things in greater detail?”

After hearing the students’ questions, Wanyan Zhenghe’s brows furrowed tightly. This was bad. This guy from the Central Plains had managed to convince some students from just using half the time of a lesson.

This couldn’t do. He mustn’t give this guy any chance to display himself anymore.

“Teacher, I have a question.”

Wanyan Zhenghe stood up directly.

Swoosh!

The surroundings instantly fell quiet.

There was no helping it. Who would dare to interrupt when the Jin Country’s little prince spoke up? No one wanted to be taken care of!

“Teacher, you are the one who said that we’re free to ask questions.”

Wanyan Zhenghe tried to agitate Sun Mo.

“That’s right.”

Sun Mo assessed this little prince. “Do you want to say that if I can’t answer your question, then I should quit being a great teacher? No problem! Go ahead and ask!”

Hua!

A commotion broke out and the students were astonished.

How confident was this teacher?

Some girls couldn’t help but sigh. This teacher’s figure and courage weren’t bad, but it was a pity that he looked too ugly.

Otherwise, they could give birth to his children.

This was how free barbarians were. After one’s father or older brother died in battle, they as the children would have to marry their stepmother or sister-in-laws. This was a responsibility. Therefore, there was no problem for there to be wedlock between teachers and students.

Wanyan Zhenghe’s eyelids twitched furiously.

It was because this was blatant contempt. However, with the arrow already tucked in the bow, he had no choice but to release it.

“I have a piece of stone slab here, and it has a set of incomplete spirit runes. I’d like to ask for Teacher’s help to help me complete it.”

As Wanyan Zhenghe said this, he tossed out the stone slab he had received from his younger sister toward Sun Mo.

Pa!

Sun Mo received it casually. He didn’t activate Divine Sight but directly analyzed it with his knowledge of the study of spirit runes.

Hmmm? This thing seemed a little interesting!

It was another unique spirit rune system.

As he had a similar decrypting experience in the past, Sun Mo quickly found the crucial point to resolve this.

Five minutes passed by.

“Teacher, you can bring it back and take your time in decrypting it. As long as you can resolve it within a week, I’ll admit that you’re amazing.”

Wanyan Zhenghe looked at Sun Mo who was deep in thought. He then broke into a proud smile.

(If you can resolve it, I’ll take after your surname.)

Sun Mo raised his head and looked toward the little prince.

“Why? Do you find the time too short? Alright, I’ll give you half a month… or how about a month?”

Wanyan Zhenghe was wearing an expression as if he was definitely going to win against Sun Mo.

(How is it? Is your life as a great teacher going to end? Are you in a crazy panic right now?)

“Ha, why would it take one month to decrypt a spirit rune like this? How much do you look down on others?”

Sun Mo sneered and then activated Divine Sight, making a comparison against his analysis results. He found out that he wasn’t wrong and this made him feel a little proud.

“What?”

Wanyan Zhenghe blinked, thinking that he must have heard it wrongly. To think that this guy was complaining that the time given was too long? He almost blurted out ‘Are you alright in the head?’.

Sun Mo raised one hand.

“What do you mean? You want five days?

Wanyan Zhenghe frowned, thinking to himself that this guy was really arrogant.

“It’s five minutes.”

Sun Mo chuckled and studied the stone slab.

“Five… five minutes?”

Wanyan Zhenghe blinked, suddenly feeling that such arrogance was boring. (You’re so foolish that it’s useless even if I were to give you a chance.)

“Is there a problem with your hearing?”

Sun Mo pointed to his ears.

“You’re the one who is deaf!”

Wanyan Zhenghe cursed. “Alright, alright. Since you want to die, then go ahead. Five minutes. I’ll wait.”

“Wait for what?”

Sun Mo asked.

“Wait for you to decrypt the spirit runes!”

Wanyan Zhenghe was almost driven to his death from anger, feeling that it was very tiring to talk to this guy.

“Hasn’t five minutes already passed?”

Sun Mo took out his pocket watch and took a look. “Or are you telling me that you can’t count?”

“You… Sss!”

Wanyan Zhenghe had wanted to curse but ended up drawing a cold gasp when he saw how this Central Plains guy seemed to be looking at him with a gaze of arrogance, like one was looking down at insignificant ants.

Was this guy a fool?

He clearly wasn’t one. Then this meant that he had the confidence to say such things. But how was that possible?

Even the grandmaster-level spirit runists in their school couldn’t decrypt this stone slab. How could an intern teacher be so confident?

The other students were all stunned as well.

(This guy is really arrogant! But I like it.)

This was how their character was. They were enthusiastic, bold, and unrestrained with their feelings, quickly escalating into fights the moment there were disagreements. Upon seeing how Sun Mo was retorting against the little prince, having control over the situation, they felt that this guy was really amazing.

Hu!

Wanyan Zhenghe took in a deep breath and regained his composure. “What’s the use of mere talk? You can continue to be arrogant after you’ve managed to decrypt this spirit rune.”

“Are you certain you want me to reveal it? Spirit runes like this are very rare. It’d be a great loss if others were to find out about it.”

Sun Mo chuckled.

“Ha, am I, Wanyan Zhenghe, such a petty person? If others hear it, so be it. Feel free to say it out loud.”

Wanyan Zhenghe thought to himself, (So you’re resorting to tricks. Do you think that I won’t bear to share this spirit rune and therefore will get you to shut up? That won’t happen! Today, I’ll make sure that you’re completely embarrassed and retreat from the world of great teachers!)

Sun Mo spared the crap talk, picked up the brush, and started to draw out the spirit rune on the blackboard.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The brush moved around very smoothly, sending ink onto the paper. In the blink of an eye, a strange spirit rune took form.

Huh?

Many people who were watching were stunned

What was he doing?

Why didn’t he draw it on the rune paper?

Everyone knew that spirit runes would only be effective when they were drawn on rune paper.

This time around, the wait was a little longer, taking over 15 minutes. However, no one noticed the time. It was because it was an enjoyment in itself to watch Sun Mo drawing out the spirit rune.

In his hands, the spirit rune was no longer just one that could be used. It had become an artistic masterpiece.

To put it simply, Sun Mo was creating a ‘famous painting’.

The blackboard was covered by strong and colorful ink and a spirit rune took form.

Close to 1,000 people had filled up the lecture theater and the corridor outside. However, there wasn’t a single noise.

Just as Wanyan Zhenghe was about to speak up, Sun Mo slapped his palm down on the spirit rune.

Pa!

Spirit qi was channeled in.

Buzz!

The spirit rune flashed and a warm glow lit up.

Everyone waited, but there didn’t seem to be any abnormality taking place.

“What does that mean?”

The students scratched their heads, looking perplexed.

“What are you trying to do?”

Wanyan Zhenghe bellowed out at Sun Mo who was on the rostrum. However, after he shouted out, he heard a voice ringing out from behind him.

“What a foolish little prince. I can tolerate your rudeness because given your intellect, there’s naturally no way that you’ll understand it.”
