Absolute Great Teacher

Translator: Lordbluefire

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Applause rang out in all directions.

Sun Mo’s on-the-spot lecture caused the surrounding students to benefit a lot.

“Finding someone to spar would usually bring about many benefits. Because the more opponents you fought, the more ‘samples’ of opponents you would collect and the more battle situations you would encounter. Regardless of whether you win or lose, these are all valuable experiences.”

Sun Mo was someone who preferred practical combat.

Compared to staying in the training room and solo training for a year, one might as well head out to fight opponents for three months. Even if they didn’t learn anything, at the very least, they would become much calmer and wouldn’t panic at the slightest trouble.

“Many thanks for Teacher Sun’s teaching. We have noted it down.”

As a few students lowered their heads and bowed, the others also lowered their heads.

Ding!

Congratulations on obtaining +2,101 favorable impression points.

“Excellent!”

Duanmu Li applauded and surveyed Sun Mo while feeling some regret. It was unfortunate that Sun Mo was a great teacher. Otherwise, if he focused mainly on combat, he might very well become a Battle God of the Nine Provinces.

Honestly speaking, Duanmu Li had also seen Sun Mo fight many draconic humans before. But even now, he didn’t know what Sun Mo was proficient in.

This little fellow was proficient in punches, kicks, swords, and blades; he was good in everything.

“Everyone can disperse!”

Sun Mo indicated for everyone not to crowd around anymore.

The students bowed again before they left and went to search for opponents or to check if there were any other places with good shows so they could watch.

A few students walked over, wanting to consult Sun Mo.

“Sorry, I have to treat him first!”

Sun Mo explained, “You guys can come to look for me in the afternoon!”

The students immediately looked at Hu Qinglang and revealed envious looks.

Although the school had decreed that teachers couldn’t refuse the questions of students, if the students continued pressing on with their questions despite there being urgent circumstances, the students would clearly be judged as unreasonable.

“How do you feel?”

Sun Mo asked as he inspected Hu Qinglang’s body.

“Teacher, there’s no need to trouble yourself.”

Hu Qinglang dodged because the wolf totem was a secret of their tribe. His father said before that he must not allow anyone to view it at a close distance.

Naturally, he was very grateful that Sun Mo showed concern for him.

“Haha, don’t worry. I won’t ask any questions regarding your tattoo.”

Sun Mo consoled him.

“Teacher…”

Hu Qinglang smiled in a very awkward manner.

“You are overly dependent on your wolf totem. If I didn’t see it wrongly, it can naturally absorb spirit qi anytime and anywhere to strengthen your body and make your injuries recover quicker. If you activate it during combat, it would also allow you to enter a berserk state so your combat strength would be enhanced.”

Sun Mo spoke frankly with assurance.

“…”

Hu Qinglang was completely stunned because Sun Mo’s words were completely correct. But, how did he know it?

This was a secret of his tribe!

Whoever leaked it was equal to committing a crime that was worthy of death.

No, even if a tribe member leaked this, they wouldn’t tell Sun Mo since both parties had no interactions before.

“Don’t guess blindly!” Sun Mo smiled. “I’m a grandmaster spirit runist.”

“Ah?”

Hu Qinglang started. Luckily, his intelligence was high and he soon regained his senses. “You are saying that this wolf totem is a spirit rune?”

“This can be considered a type of spirit rune.”

Sun Mo didn’t lie. Any totems were a branch of the study of spirit runes.

Hu Qinglang subconsciously clutched his collar. He knew how high Sun Mo’s standard in the study of spirit runes was. According to the rumors, over ten great teachers of their school were attending his lectures religiously. Even the princess of Jin Country who was mesmerized with spirit runes would attend all his lectures, not missing one out.

For such an expert, he should be able to unravel the secret of his wolf totem, right?

“Do you still want to participate in the competition and continue winning?”

Sun Mo asked.

“Why not?” Hu Qinglang bitterly smiled, “But how can I fight in my condition?”

“Firstly, you shouldn’t place your hopes on the wolf totem. It is just an aid, and it isn’t your core strength. Besides, I can help you to repair it.”

Sun Mo’s tone was calm, but his words scared Hu Qinglang half to death.

“What?”

Hu Qinglang’s eyes almost fell out of his sockets. He instinctively didn’t believe it. This was a tribe secret after all. (I can believe you if you tell me you can analyze some secrets about it. But repairing it? This represents that you understand the wolf totem completely… Wait a minute, my wolf totem is ‘broken’ now, and this is something even the tribe elders cannot repair.)

Duanmu Li had been quietly standing at the side. When he heard this, his gaze involuntarily drifted to Sun Mo with astonishment in them.

“M…many thanks for Teacher’s kind intentions b…but there’s no need.”

Hu Langqing still chose to reject it.

“Although this wolf totem of yours can recover automatically, given the degree of damage, it will need at least a year. During this period, your strength will drastically decrease.”

Sun Mo stared at Hu Qinglang and persuaded in a warm voice. “In your golden years, are you willing to waste a year? How can you still surpass Baliao and squeeze your way into the top ten of the year?”

Hu Langqing was completely dumbfounded.

(Why did Teacher Sun even know about the fact that the wolf totem can recover automatically? Could he be pranking me?)

“Hu Qinglang. Given Teacher Sun’s status, there’s no way he would sink so low as to covet your wolf totem.”

Duanmu Li couldn’t bear to watch anymore and persuaded him. “This is a very good chance. It would be stupid of you not to grasp it.”

Actually, Duanmu Li was curious how Sun Mo would treat Hu Qinglang exactly. After all, his back was now a chaotic mess of injuries after being attacked by Baliao. Bloody wounds were everywhere.

“It doesn’t matter, don’t be bothered!”

Sun Mo laughed and patted Hu Qinglang on his shoulder. “Continue to work hard!”

Sun Mo hadn’t reached the point where he had to lower his status to beg others to let him treat them. If Hu Qinglang didn’t need this, it was fine. In any case, his understanding of this wolf totem was already quite thorough from Divine Sight.

Mei Ziyu sighed. There would always be people who treated their minor secrets as more valuable than gold. But they had no idea that to Sun Mo, their minor secrets were not worth anything.

Hu Qinglang gulped down a mouthful of saliva. Although he won, he was so heavily injured. Some people would definitely take the initiative to challenge him in the next round.

He usually wouldn’t be bothered if he lost a fight. But right now, it was the autumn hunt period. For the sake of achieving fame in a single battle, he had worked hard for an entire year.

Moreover, the wolf totem could recover automatically. Even if Sun Mo’s treatment failed, it would recover eventually.

(Naturally, what status does Teacher Sun have? Like what Teacher Duanmu has said, why would Teacher Sun covet my wolf totem?)

“Teacher Sun, I was the one judging you with the heart of a petty person!”

Hu Qinglang sincerely apologized. “Teacher, please help me out. This student will be extremely grateful!”

…

“Ziyu and Teacher Duanmu, can the two of you please take a rest here.”

Before the tent, Sun Mo didn’t allow both of them to follow him in. He trusted Mei Ziyu and also Duanmu Li’s character. But he couldn’t allow them to view Hu Qinglang’s wolf totem simply because he trusted them.

“Teacher Sun, go ahead. You don’t have to be bothered about it.”

Duanmu Li felt very regretful as he wouldn’t be able to witness Sun Mo’s performance.

After entering the tent, Sun Mo got Hu Qinglang to undress.

“Lie down!”

Sun Mo sat at the side and observed the wolf totem in its entirety. After that, he felt somewhat shocked. “Does it actually have its own consciousness?”

“Ah?”

Hu Qinglang was badly shocked. How could Teacher Sun manage to see through this too?

“When that grandmaster was tattooing this totem for you, he actually used a blood sacrificial method and sealed the soul of a wild wolf inside the totem. It seems that your status isn’t low, you are most probably the child of a tribe elder, right?”

Sun Mo casually asked.

“Mn!”

Hu Qinglang subconsciously nodded.

“The wolf that got blood-sacrificed was the one you reared since you were young, right?”

Sun Mo sighed. “Although this darkness secret art is good, it’s too cruel.”

Because only a wolf who had acknowledged a master would be able to be used in such a manner. Its soul would be extracted, and there wouldn’t be any backlash, allowing one to achieve the effect of human and tattoo as one.

“…”

Hu Qinglang suddenly wanted to wear his clothes and leave because Sun Mo was too terrifying. After he disrobed, Sun Mo had merely looked at him for two to three minutes and could analyze everything.

The crux was that everything was correct.

If this continued, the great secret of his tribe would be exposed.

But at the next instant, Hu Qinglang started to worry. If he left like that, would he offend him?

This was the deterrence of a great teacher. The more impressive they were, the more no one would dare to slight them.

“Don’t worry, I will keep it a secret.”

Sun Mo smiled. He circulated his spirit qi as he spoke and a genie appeared.

“Teacher, I…damn it!”

Hu Langqing had wanted to ask if Sun Mo’s standard in the study of spirit runes was higher than a grandmaster. But in the end, he saw a muscular dude in bizarre clothing and a turban appearing beside him.

After that, its hands pressed down on Hu Qinglang who tried to leap away because of his instincts.

“Now, you also know my secret. Please don’t reveal it.”

Sun Mo reminded him.

“R…right!”

Hu Qinglang felt that his tongue had knotted, but very soon, he forgot about all of this as he sank inextricably deep into a feeling of extreme comfort.

The massage provided by the muscular dude was simply too comfortable. He felt like he was riding on a divine steed and traveling through the plains. Both his spirit and flesh were evolving.

“I didn’t expect the ancient massaging technique could even be used as an anesthetic.”

Sun Mo’s treatment method was very simple, and that was to use God Hands to repair Hu Qinglang’s flesh while also repairing that wolf totem.

It sounded simple, but this was after all an ‘operation’ that occurred under the soft skin. Once there was a mistake, the totem would change and its might would weaken or even lose its effects completely.

However, Sun Mo already had relevant experience.

“Compared to mending the damaged spirit runes on Jiang Leng, yours is just a minor problem.”

Honestly speaking, the difficulty in repairing the wolf totem was completely insignificant. The only essential point about this was that it also involved the art of spiritual control.

…

An hour later, Hu Qinglang woke up and felt an inch on his back. The pain from before had completely disappeared.

He lowered his head for a look. Although the majority of his totem couldn’t be seen, he could feel that the sense of telepathy had recovered back to normal. No, it felt even stronger than before.

“You’ve awakened?”

Duanmu Li, who was speaking with Sun Mo, passed over a mirror imported from the western countries. “Your treatment is very successful. Take a look!”

Hu Qinglang took the mirror and flipped it to reflect his back. He just took a glance and was stunned.

That glossy skin and the ferocious-looking tattoo seemed the same as the in past, like he had never suffered any injuries before.

Wasn’t this too incredible?

Wait…

“Something is wrong!”

Hu Qinglang suddenly shouted.

“What’s wrong?”

Duanmu Li furrowed his brows.

“This…this…”

Hu Qinglang gulped down a mouthful of his saliva and spoke in astonishment, “The wolf…I feel it’s more imposing and better-looking compared to the previous one.”

“Hehe!”

Mei Ziyu was unable to restrain a smile. “How can it not look better? Teacher Sun is a famous artist. This is just drawing a wolf.”

“F…famous artist?”

Hu Qinglang’s brain was still lagging.

As for Duanmu Li, his face was filled with shock as he cast a deep glance at Sun Mo.

(I originally thought you were already very impressive, but I didn’t expect that I still underestimated your depth.)

(Famous artist? You are really outstanding!)
