Absolute Great Teacher
chapter-1038

"Our Central Province Academy has risen to the 'B' grade!"

Lu Zhiruo, who had always been standing at the side, was very unhappy about the attitudes of these people. They were looking down on her school. She immediately became like a loyal dog and started baring her teeth, biting people.

"Also, my teacher is a near-ancestor spirit runist. He is stronger than all of you."

"'B' grade?"

A short fatty sneered. "From your tone, you don't seem to know about the existence of the Nine Greats? Oh right, a near-ancestor spirit runist? Who gave him that title? Were you the one who did that?"

"Haha!"

Several people laughed.

(Everyone will admit it if you said that Sun Mo was impressive. After all, those who can be here will surely have some capabilities. But you actually said that he is a near-ancestor spirit runist? Please speak of your fantasies only in your dreams. Who isn't a grandmaster here?)

Hence, they understood how difficult it was to become an ancestor. For some great teachers, even if they worked hard their entire lives, they wouldn't be able to reach such a height.

How old was this young man merely?

"If he is a near-ancestor, I'll admit that I've wasted my life."

The short fatty spoke confidently.

He had stayed here for seven years and hadn't even touched a single woman since then, having to resort to self-mast*rbation. Wasn't all of this for the sake of breaking through his bottleneck?

In the end, a young man came and said that he had discovered the secret after viewing it for half an hour. Whose face was he trying to smack?

(Don't I, Wen Tai, want face?! This young man is simply angling for fame. Sadly, I don't know Sharp Tongue or I would have scolded you to death.)

"You…"

The papaya girl was angry and wanted to retaliate, but she was stopped by Sun Mo.

"Sir, might I inquire about your name?"

Sun Mo stood up straight and had his right hand placed behind his back. He calmly stared at the short fatty.

"I won't change my name no matter what I do or where I am. I'm Wen Tai!"

The short fatty laughed coldly. "Why? You want to spar?"

"You can't even use the Bone and Muscle Growth Spirit Rune properly. What qualifications do you have to talk big here?"

Sun Mo sneered.

Sun Mo's personality was one that refused to suffer a disadvantage. Besides, he was leading his personal students out on a tour this time around. Hence, he couldn't even lose a little bit of face.

"Eh!"

Upon hearing Sun Mo's words, Wen Tai's expression changed as his heart thumped rapidly.

(How did he know?)

When Wen Tai was young, he was fat and short like a dwarf. For the sake of growing tall and becoming handsome, he had secretly applied a spirit rune that stimulated bone growth on his legs.

During the first half of the year, the effect was very good. But as time passed, Wen Tai was undisciplined and his love for food harmed him. In addition to the fact that his drawing techniques weren't good enough, a mutation happened and caused his legs to deform, becoming bow-legged.

In order to mask this flaw, he would always wear teacher robes that were a few sizes larger.

"Naturally, you could say that you were impulsive during your youth and committed a mistake due to ignorance. But now, why are you not amending that mistake?"

Sun Mo mocked.

"Ha, as expected...you know nothing. Do you think that mending spirit runes is something so easy?"

Wen Tai snorted in disdain. "Because it's impossible to remove spirit runes, we can only mend it by increasing or decreasing the runic lines. This required an extremely profound technique. And those who can grasp such a technique must be at the very least at the near-ancestor level."

"I can do it!" Sun Mo smiled.

"Stop farting!"

Wen Tai sneered. "Even in the manor, only a few people can achieve that."

After speaking, Wen Tai felt that his sentence might offend people. Hence, he hurriedly apologized to Cui Shun`en.

Cui Sun`en didn't say anything, but he had decided to chase this fellow away tomorrow.

(I don't like people who don't know how to speak.)

However, Wen Tai's words weren't wrong. If mending spirit runes was so easy, the manor wouldn't have discarded so many experimental subjects.

"If you kneel now and beg my teacher, he might decide to help you cure your bow-leggedness if he is in a good mood."

Li Ziqi came over.

"Are the disciples you taught all so arrogant and rude?"

Wen Tai mocked Sun Mo.

"I'll call junior martial brother Jiang over for you to take a look!"

Lu Zhiruo snorted at Wen Tai and turned away.

"What will you do if my teacher can accomplish that?" Li Ziqi asked.

"Can't I simply apologize to him?" Wen Tai rolled his eyes.

"Apologizing? Sure, but you must add in three kowtows while kneeling."

The little sunny egg smiled craftily.

"I can even give him 9 kowtows. But if he cannot do it, he just has to kowtow to me thrice." Wen Tai chortled.

"No problem."

"Are you not going to ask if your teacher is panicking?" Wen Tai jeered.

"For a small matter like this, I can make the decision on behalf of my teacher."

Li Ziqi snuck a glance at Sun Mo and discovered that he didn't blame her. She then silently heaved a sigh of relief.

"Boring!"

Cui Shun`en shook his head and prepared to leave. He couldn't be bothered to care about such a conflict.

"Teacher Cui, please wait. Could you please be the witness?"

Li Ziqi requested.

The other great teachers were very excited as well. After all, their days were spent researching spirit runes for long periods, and it was truly too boring. Now, since a rare-to-come-by entertainment had come, they naturally wanted to be happy and watch it.

"Let's bet!"

A man with a punk-head hairstyle immediately started the bet.

"I'll bet 10,000 taels on Teacher Wen's victory!"

"I will use a Lantian Jade as my bet. It is worth 100,000 taels!"

"I'll put up an ancient spirit rune!"

The great teachers commented noisily.

"It can't be like this. You guys are all betting on Teacher Wen's victory, so how can this bet continue if no one bets on the other guy?"

The punk head grumbled.

"I'll bet ten million taels!"

The other people originally wanted to ridicule him, but in the end, they were completely stunned by Li Ziqi's words.

Although grandmaster spirit runists didn't lack money, ten million taels were still considered a huge sum to them.

"Do you have so much money?"

The punk head frowned. Actually, he was joking around and just wanted to bet small to while the time away. Who knew that this ordinary girl would actually take this for real.

"I'm Li Ziqi, a princess of the Great Tang Empire. I have three fiefs and several tens of thousands of slaves. Is my title and identity worth ten million taels?"

Li Ziqi counter-asked.

Wow!

Everyone was shocked. Also, their gazes toward Sun Mo had changed somewhat. Their gazes were now filled with astonishment, doubt, and a hint of envy.

The Great Tang Empire was one of the top few empires in the Nine Provinces. A princess who could get three fiefs was naturally someone doted upon by the Emperor and surely had a very high status.

This young man could actually become her teacher?

Also, the young girl seemed to worship him a lot?

This was somewhat impressive then!

"Could he be a liar?"

The gazes of some great teachers were filled with unfriendliness when they looked at Sun Mo. Because there were plenty of people feigning to be great teachers to swindle others.

Cui Shun`en was a very busy man. He naturally wouldn't waste time being a witness to such a thing. However, after he heard of Li Ziqi's identity, he changed his mind.

Jiang Leng was now back down in memory lane, feeling complicated in his heart. He was also worried that his comrades might be banished from here due to defying the rules of the Dragonspirit Manor. Hence, he kept following them.

When he saw Lu Zhiruo urgently running over, he immediately took the initiative to ask her what had happened.

Hence, swiftly later, the two of them rushed over.

"You…"

Cui Shun`en's previously casual attitude immediately vanished the instant he saw Jiang Leng. His countenance turned heavy instead.

"Teacher!"

Jiang Leng greeted Sun Mo first. After that, he looked at Cui Shun`en. He was naturally acquainted with this number one assistant of the manor.

But now, how should he face him?

One must know that this man was also one of the people who contributed to the judgment to cripple him.

"Y...you are Jiang Leng?"

Cui Shun`en was stunned.

There was no mistake. The word 'cripple' on this youth's forehead was in the Dean's handwriting.

Back then, Jiang Leng was the child touted as the one with the most potential. The dean had extremely high hopes for him, but in the end, the experiment failed.

In a fit of anger, the Dean had carved the word 'cripple' on his forehead.

"Mn!"

Jiang Leng nodded. He decided to act cold and detached.

"Your body…"

Cui Shun`en rushed over and stretched out his hands, wanting to touch Jiang Leng.

He had done too many experiments. Even if he was touching someone through their clothes, he would be able to tell the condition of the experimental subject. And as for now, Jiang Leng evidently was filled with vigorous qi and blood, and his vitality was powerful...

(How can this be possible? You should be in a state of half-death and be tormented so badly by the disrupted spirit qi cycle in your body that you would rather die than live. Wrong! According to the time, you should have been dead!)

Jiang Leng's body trembled, but he didn't dare to evade.

Pak!

Sun Mo took a step forward and blocked Cui Shun`en.

"Teacher Cui, please conduct yourself with dignity!" Sun Mo warned. "Right now, he is my student!"

BOOM!

Cui Shun`en erupted forth with a vast amount of spirit qi. Terrifying spirit pressure directly blasted out, and just when he was preparing to shout the words 'scram', an even stronger pressure gushed forth from Sun Mo's body, blasting toward him.

Battle God's Will!

RUMBLE~

The surrounding great teachers shivered as fear appeared in their hearts.

This fellow was so powerful!

"I've already said it. He is my student. If you want to take action, you have to seek my opinion first."

Sun Mo's voice was ice-cold.

Cui Shun`en stared at Sun Mo before glancing at Jiang Leng. He then took two steps back. "What did you want to learn by coming here?"

From his point of view, Sun Mo came here because he needed help with something. Hence, he basically had no qualifications to stop him.

"Mind your tongue. It's Dean Bai who invited me over."

Sun Mo corrected.

"F***!"

The spectators spewed vulgarities. (Do you have to brag so much? Do you know what identity Cui Shun`en has? Can you please speak honestly?)

"What?"

Cui Shun`en was stunned too.

What identity did Bai Wenzhang have?

For someone who was qualified enough to be invited by him, that person would definitely be an ancestor-level character, a lofty mountain in the spirit rune world.

Sun Mo took out the letter and waved it in his hands.

"I have his invitation letter here. Do you want to check it?"

Cui Shun`en's expression immediately became one of dumbstruck amazement. He was simply too familiar with Bai Wenzhang's handwriting. There were no problems with the letter.

Had the dean gone mad?

He had personally written an invitation letter to a junior among juniors?

To an ancient antique like Cui Shun`en who had lived for several centuries, Sun Mo was undoubtedly an extremely little junior.

"You should be familiar with Jiang Leng's situation. Right now, he is standing here perfectly fine. Don't you feel that I'm the winner of this bet?"

Sun Mo asked.

Cui Shun`en didn't even need to inspect Jiang Leng to understand the situation. Otherwise, as an ancestor-level spirit runist, it would mean that his eyes were blind.

"You have lost!" Cui Shun`en looked at Wen Tai and spoke bluntly.

"Ah?"

Wen Tai was in a daze. "B...but why?"

Who would be able to bear it if they had to kowtow to a young man in public?

"Because I said so!" Cui Shun`en coldly snorted. "Do you have an objection?"

"..."

Wen Tai could only grumble resentfully within. How would he dare to have any objections? (But even if I lost, you should convince me thoroughly, right?)

"This Jiang Leng was an abandoned student from our manor, and he originally ought to have died. But now, he is still living well. This alone is sufficient to indicate Sun Mo's standard in the study of spirit runes."

Cui Shun`en explained.

"Wen Tai, don't struggle anymore. Quickly kowtow and apologize!"

Li Ziqi berated.

Wen Tai, who originally didn't know how to deal with this, suddenly felt joyful in his heart when he heard Li Ziqi calling him by his name.

His expression turned grave as he roared.

"How dare you! How can a great teacher like me be commanded around by a student like you? Why are you not slapping yourself yet?"
