Absolute Great Teacher

Ding!

“Mission: Please obtain 100,000 favorable impression points within three days. If you succeed, there will be a mysterious treasure chest as a reward.”

Ding!

“Mission: Please clear the Dragon Subduing Palace and obtain the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. If you complete it, there will be 3 diamond treasure chests as a reward.”

Ding!

“Mission: Convince Xiao Ri`nan and make him be willing to listen to your guidance, changing his focus to the study of spiritual control. If you complete it, there will be 2 mysterious treasure chests as a reward.”

Three missions in one go and from the look of their rewards, Sun Mo knew they were extremely tough.

“After clearing all the trials here, can we really obtain the ultimate divine art of the Dragon Subduing Academy?”

Sun Mo was shocked.

Usually speaking, the missions given by the system had a clear objective. The divine art was already there. Whether he could obtain it or not would depend on his own capabilities.

“Yes!”

The system gave a definite reply.

“This building should have been built by the founder of the Dragon Subduing Academy using that wooden puppet he found as a core, right?”

Sun Mo guessed.

Through the darkness illusion pagoda, Sun Mo knew that these mysterious darkness buildings all had a powerful core within.

“No idea.”

The system wanted to roll its eyes. “I’m a great teacher assistant system and not an omniscient god!”

“Would there be a punishment if I don’t complete them?”

Sun Mo asked again. He truly had no interest in these missions.

Xiao Ri`nan was too arrogant. So, even though his potential value was extremely high, Sun Mo didn’t want him. He preferred teaching people like Xianyu Wei who were more obedient as it would be more simple and relaxed.

“I would have forgotten if you didn’t mention it.”

Ding!

“Please note that you have to at least complete two out of the three missions, or three of your great teacher halos would be randomly removed and a million favorable impression points would be deducted as a punishment.”

Pak!

Sun Mo lifted his hand and slapped himself.

(My damnable mouth, why did I have to ask this question?)

“Host, please cherish your body.”

The system persuaded.

“1 million? You might as well kill me.”

Sun Mo was happy. (I have had the system for so long and have never obtained so many favorable points before. Speaking of which, should I spend my hundreds of thousands of favorable impression points completely now?)

“The system doesn’t lie and will fulfill the punishment in one way or another. If you owed a debt and failed the missions, you would lead a life worst than Yang Bailao* for the next three years.”

The system reminded Sun Mo.

“Why would I be in more dire straits than Yang Bailao?”

Sun Mo frowned. “What educational level do you have? Do you know how to make a proper comparison?”

“Yang Bailao has Xi`er to pay his debts for him. What do you have?”

The system rebutted.

“…”

(You make things sound so logical that I’m speechless.)

“Little system, can you just go and rest? With you being present, I feel so vexed in my heart!”

“Alright then, old ancestor!”

The system wasn’t willing to show weakness, and its reply caused Sun Mo to choke.

In ancient times, that was how weak, powerless eunuchs addressed the chief eunuch.

Just like the saying, civilized people could scold people without using a single word of vulgarity.

…

“Teacher Sun, the school has a reward. For people who can match the current record for clearing the stage, they can get a saint-tier alchemy pill according to their cultivation realms. For those who can break the record, they can get a saint-tier alchemy pill of their next cultivation realm.”

Duanmu Li encouraged. “I feel that Teacher Sun can give it a try.”

“Such rewards are extremely rare and valuable. It can be said that as long as you consume the pill, you will be able to level up.”

Xiao Ri`nan also persuaded Sun Mo. He wanted to see Sun Mo’s limits.

“You have to have the life to consume it first.”

Mei Ziyu frowned.

Saint-tier alchemy pills were good. Let alone saint-tier alchemy pills of the Longevity Realm, even saint-tier alchemy pills of the Divine Force Realm could be sold for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. But if you wanted to obtain them, you had to break the record.

This place was the Dragon Subduing Academy. For so many years, countless powerful geniuses must have challenged the record. Hence, this record would surely be tough to break.

“Teacher, don’t be impulsive. The record-holder is our current headmaster. He broke the record when he was 30 years old.”

Xianyu Wei hurriedly persuaded Sun Mo, deeply afraid that he might screw up.

“Brother Duanmu, you have bad intentions!”

Sun Mo jeered.

“It should be said that I trust you. Besides, the original intention of this building is to let cultivators surpass their limits and not kill them. Hence, you don’t have to worry. These draconic humans wouldn’t be invincible and could all be defeated theoretically.”

Duanmu Li explained.

“Theoretically?”

Sun Mo didn’t understand it too much.

“The crystal ball is very magical. Teacher Sun, if you want to participate, you can request it and slice your palm to release your blood. After the crystal ball absorbs it, it will summon draconic humans according to your battle prowess.”

Xiao Ri`nan interjected.

“If you couldn’t win against the draconic humans, the reason definitely wouldn’t be because of the disparity in your cultivation realms, but more of other undiscovered reasons. Hence, many people like to use this trial to excavate the flaws in their combat style that they might have neglected.”

After hearing the information, Sun Mo was very curious about how the crystal ball could ascertain such things. Did it have intelligence and unlimited deduction abilities?

“Teacher Sun, please challenge it!”

The spectating students in the surroundings started to heckle. In any case, if someone were to be injured, it wouldn’t be them.

“Sun Mo, you are at the height of your development phase. Don’t take the risk.”

Mei Ziyu persuaded again.

In any case, Sun Mo would surely be able to get a very good result in this examination. But if he got injured during this challenge, things might not be certain anymore.

“If you want alchemy pills, I can just give them to you.”

There was no need to earn rewards from others. Just from her mother’s appreciation of Sun Mo, she wouldn’t reject it if Sun Mo wanted her alchemy pills.

“That’s a saint-tier alchemy pill.”

Xiao Ri`nan felt that this female great teacher was bragging. For the vast majority of people, let alone consuming one, they wouldn’t even be able to see one their entire lives.

“I know my limits. I will flee if I can’t win.”

Sun Mo comforted Mei Ziyu. He then pulled out the chasing cloud dagger from his boots and sliced the skin of his palm.

Pitter patter!

Droplets of fresh blood flowed, but before it landed on the ground, an invisible force attracted them, making them fly up to the crystal ball above.

Bzz!

After the crystal ball accepted the blood, it flashed bright red. After that, a red ball descended and transformed into a two-meter-tall dark-golden draconic human.

“Are there draconic humans with such a color?”

“Quickly look, there’s even a horn on its head!”

“Is he going to participate in the speed challenge? It’s said that the draconic humans summoned by cultivators using their fresh blood would be even more mysterious and powerful.”

The students murmured and gathered around here.

Roar!

The draconic human roared as a soundwave engulfed the underground palace.

Because the volume was too loud, not only could one see air being compressed, but even the clouds of dust on the ground started trembling.

“Ah, so painful!”

Several students screamed and covered their ears.

“It can’t be, right? Just the first one and it’s already so strong?”

Xiao Ri`nan covered his ears and was dumbfounded. He had also participated in the speed-clearing challenge before. He remembered that his first draconic human wasn’t this tyrannical.

“Yo, interesting!”

Duanmu Li folded his arms across his chest and seriously watched.

Roar!

The draconic human bellowed another roar of anger. After that, it exerted force with its legs and caused after-images to appear with a woosh before it appeared in front of Sun Mo.

Swish~

The sharp claws slashed out.

“How swift!”

Xiao Ri`nan’s body involuntarily leaned forward as he opened his eyes wide, not wanting to miss out on any details. But in the next second, combat ended.

Bang!

Sun Mo’s heavy punch blasted into the draconic human’s head and exploded it like someone using a hammer to open a walnut.

A ball of dark golden light shone brilliantly.

For this round, Sun Mo clinched a speedy victory.
