Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 891: A Night of Sudden Changes!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Sun Mo was just speaking out of spite.

Given his current status, worth, and his God Hands, no matter which brothel in Jinling he patronized, the procuress there wouldn’t dare to treat him shabbily.

They’d definitely wash up their most popular lady, tie a beautiful ribbon on her, and then offer her to him with both hands.

Sun Mo could afford to have fun and didn’t have to buy dolls or toys, not even if they were astonishingly similar to the actual things.

(Am I being too chaste?)

Sun Mo suddenly felt like a saint.

Ding! Ding!

The treasure chests opened. More green light scattered everywhere.

“F*ck your mom!”

Sun Mo was enraged.

(I might not have great luck, but don’t I need some face?)

It was two more time emblems, the exact same as before.

“Calm down, this is about probability. It’s on the mathematical level and isn’t related to one’s luck.”

The system consoled him.

“Bullshit.”

Sun Mo didn’t believe that.

“Then are you still going to open more?”

The system’s voice suddenly turned ice-cold. It clearly didn’t want to talk to Sun Mo, who was spouting vulgarities, feeling that Sun Mo was very low-class.

“Open!”

Sun pinched his finger bones. “Go with three consecutive opens!”

Ding! Ding! Ding!

This time around, the green light drowned Sun Mo, covering him entirely in green light, looking like field mustards in spring.

“…”

Sun Mo accepted this. (In the future, please call me the time emblem terminator.)

F*ck!

It was another three consecutive time emblems. Thankfully, this time around, two of them were 100-year time emblems that could be considered quite good.

“I’m never going to open the treasure chests again without the lucky mascot by my side!”

Sun Mo looked at the green time emblems and felt very angry.

Sigh!

Sun Mo sighed and slapped the back of his other hand.

(Why couldn’t I keep my hand in check? Remember, spring doesn’t come for the unlucky people!)

With so many time emblems, Sun Mo leveled up Complete Focus and Model Teacher from the expert level to the grandmaster level. The former helped one in learning while the latter helped to increase his personal charm.

If the current Sun Mo were to stand at a rostrum and activate Model Teacher, he’d naturally be able to get the students to feel close to him.

“It seems that I can use it to hook up with girls as well, right?”

Sun Mo felt that the path in front of him had suddenly become wider.

…

After a simple lunch, Sun Mo rode on Chasing Cloud and brought Xianyu Wei back.

Mei Ziyu naturally went along with them, but the surprising thing was that Duanmu Li also came chasing after him.

“Why aren’t you staying behind?”

Sun Mo was surprised. All the other great teachers hoped that they’d be able to show off their capabilities at the Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony, but this person was too different from the rest.

“With Teacher Sun gone, there’s nothing interesting left about this sacrificial ceremony.”

Duanmu Li laughed.

“To speak the truth, after seeing your performance, I’m planning to leave the Dragon Subduing Academy. In the past, I did things for money, but now, I should go and nurture some students. I shouldn’t be wasting my life so idly.”

Duanmu Li shrugged.

“That’s how it should be!”

Sun Mo smiled and activated Divine Sight in passing to take a glance at Duanmu Li’s data. If his data wasn’t bad, Sun Mo could try to recruit him.

However, when the data came out, Sun Mo’s brows instantly furrowed so tightly that they could clamp a crab to death.

“What’s the matter?”

Duanmu Li noticed Sun Mo’s abnormality. Moreover, Sun Mo’s gaze felt like it could see through a person and thus made him feel very uncomfortable.

“It’s nothing.”

Sun Mo squeezed out a smile.

…

Even though the Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony was a massive event in the Dragon Subduing Academy, there were still some great teachers in the school as well as the ninth grade students who were going to graduate in summer.

They didn’t participate because they were too busy.

The strongest bunch who had the best aptitude would crave to stay in the school and seek further education to reach greater heights. Those in the mid-tier would think of entering the royal families of each tribe, trying to get a position as a general. All of them were using this time to find routes to achieve their targets.

Even the students with poor performance didn’t give up either. After all, a good starting point could let one thrive for many years.

Sun Mo returned to the school and went to find a doctor to give Xianyu Wei treatment. After she was taken care of, he went to the peach blossom forest.

After using his great planting techniques and spirit runes for a while, Sun Mo could already see buds forming on the branches.

“The people in the Nine Provinces probably don’t know what greenhouse vegetables are, right?”

Sun Mo secretly gloated. When the peach blossoms bloomed in winter, these barbarians would definitely be surprised.

Other than transmitting nutrition, the spirit runes also served as a warming layer. From the looks of it, the effects weren’t bad.

Sun Mo looked around, fixing up the parts of the spirit runes that had been destroyed by bugs or birds. He then started to look for Murong Mingyue.

Sun Mo was also planning on headhunting this near ancestor-level puppeteer back to the Central Province Academy.

If he was successful, not only would it take care of the Central Province Academy’s shortcoming in puppetry, but they’d at least be above-average in the next few decades.

The crux was on how long Murong Mingyue could live for.

The sun set and the sky was dyed in the color of dusk.

Sun Mo found Murong Mingyue in a corner of the library. She had her head lowered and was reading a book. Her tranquil pose was like a bright moon in the quiet and late night.

“Her disposition is really good!”

Sun Mo praised. After taking out a book casually from the bookshelves, he walked over to sit down across Murong Mingyue.

Then, there was 15 minutes of silence.

“Do you know that this is very rude?”

Murong Mingyue frowned slightly. She had wanted to ignore Sun Mo but was forced to speak up. It was because he kept on sneaking glances at her.

“You seem to have become even more unhappy. Did you encounter some kind of trouble recently? You can tell me about them. If it’s something I can help with, I’ll definitely help.”

Sun Mo noticed that this beautiful great teacher had become even colder and more aloof than before. There didn’t seem to be any expression on her face and even when she was reading, she looked just like a stone statue with moving eyeballs.

She emitted an aura that seemed to keep living humans away.

“It’s none of your concern.”

Murong Mingyue’s voice emitted a coldness that pushed people far away.

“How could it be none of my concern? You’re a teacher of the Central Province Academy. As the vice-headmaster, I have the obligation to resolve your personal problems.”

Sun Mo smiled. “I also want to say that I’ll be winning the bet that we had very soon.”

“Bet?”

Murong Mingyue was perplexed.

“It can’t be that you aren’t going to acknowledge it, right?”

Sun Mo’s brows raised.

Murong Mingyue gave it some thought but was baffled. Did something like that happen? Why did she have no recollections of it? Forget it, nothing else was important anyway. Therefore, she lowered her head and continued to read.

“He Becomes Aware of the Wonderful Truth of Enlightenment, By Killing the Demon He Realizes His Spirit-Nature[1]? You seem to like [Journey to the West] a lot.”

Sun Mo noticed that Murong Mingyue had gone through this part three times.

“I don’t like to be disturbed when I’m reading!”

Murong Mingyue’s intention of driving him off was very clear.

“I’m familiar with [Journey to the West]. Why don’t we discuss it?”

Sun Mo thought to himself. (I’m really lowering my standing to get this near ancestor-level great teacher.)

“You’re familiar with it? Are you Gandalf?”

Murong Mingyue sneered. “I’ve read this book at least 100 times and know it so well that I’ve long since memorized it backward.”

“Uhh!”

Sun Mo scratched his head. He didn’t have a photographic memory, so memorizing the story backward was out of the question for him.

“It’s such a pity. It’s such a good book. Why did Gandalf stop writing the continuation?”

Murong Mingyue sighed. “I really want to read it!”

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Murong Mingyue +500. Respect (1,100/10,000).[2]

“It’s because I’m not lacking in money anymore!”

Sun Mo pursed his lips, not saying this line. He felt that his identity as this book’s author could be used as a trump card that should be exposed in an important situation to ensure the greatest efficacy.

He didn’t expect that Murong Mingyue was a great fan of his book and had contributed so many favorable impression points to him.

Murong Mingyue saw that Sun Mo seemed like he wanted to continue talking to her, so she closed the book and left the library.

Sun Mo shrugged.

After dinner, Sun Mo didn’t have to teach and finally had some time for himself. He went for a stroll in the school grounds with Mei Ziyu.

“It’s a pity that the winter is cold and there isn’t any scenery.”

Mei Ziyu felt a little disappointed. Taking a stroll with Sun Mo was such a good activity. However, there weren’t any flowers around, and cold wind kept on slapping into their faces.

“Who said so? In my eyes, you’re the most beautiful scenery.”

Sun Mo teased.

Mei Ziyu’s body stiffened up and her face flushed red. Even her heck was dyed in a red glow.

She walked a few steps faster, not wanting Sun Mo to see her embarrassed state.

Bump! Bump! Bump!

Mei Ziyu’s heart was beating very quickly, which made her feel at a loss and a little hard to breathe. However, she felt very blissed as if she was enveloped in honey.

“F*ck, did I say something wrong?”

Sun Mo felt troubled. “This won’t do. I must quickly change the topic.”

Mei Ziyu was an understanding, pure and elegant girl. She was good at being a listener and no matter the topic, she’d listen gently.

As Sun Mo spoke, he started to let down his guard and speak more.

“In the few years after I graduated, I roamed by myself. Things were really difficult back then. I didn’t manage to earn a lot of money but had gotten myself into a lot of troublesome matters.”

Everyone would have their troubles. Sun Mo was no exception.

“Without experiencing hardships, how will there be sweet returns? Sun Mo, after you get first place, you’ll break the historical records. You’ll be number one in the great teacher world.”

Mei Ziyu smiled and said, “You can pursue the 4-star examination and aim for four consecutive first places. This record is unprecedented and probably won’t be achieved by anyone in the future either.”

“It’s too difficult.”

Sun Mo shook his head. 4-star great teachers were mid-tier pillars of the great teacher world. Even Sun Mo wouldn’t treat them lightly.

If one wished to become a 4-star great teacher, they’d need to comprehend at least 12 great teacher halos and be at the expert level in four secondary occupations. Of course, the most important thing was that their personal disciples must earn a title on the Hero Rankings through battles.

This Hero Rankings no longer had any age restrictions. Therefore, the older one was and the longer they had cultivated, the greater the advantage they’d have.

Although all of Sun Mo’s students were geniuses, they were too young. It was too difficult for them to get onto the ranking.

“For 4-star, the test is mainly on the great teachers’ abilities to teach students. You’re very good at it.”

Mei Ziyu encouraged him.

“If it’s really that simple, Xinhui and Teacher Jin would have gotten the 4-star title long ago.”

Sun Mo chuckled. “Let’s go back. It’s so cold!”

“En!”

Mei Ziyu nodded. It was late and as a thin layer of fog rose, the moonlight was covered. The light rays in the school grounds became dim.

“I’ll send you back to the dorm first.”

Sun Mo clutched his clothes tighter, but he had just taken a few steps when his ears twitched and he looked toward the west.

“Someone’s here!”

Mei Ziyu’s countenance turned grim. She saw a few black shadows creeping toward them. As if realizing that they had been discovered, those black shadows suddenly raised their crossbows and then pulled the triggers.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Crossbow arrows shot out incessantly.
