Absolute Great Teacher
chapter-1053

Bang!

A ball of light that was light blue and about a foot long pushed the tip of the silver box open and soared into the air, banging into the ceiling. After the rebound, it didn't wait to land and started flying around randomly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This item kept knocking into the floor and walls.

When Sun Mo entered the room, he saw an object flying over rapidly akin to a baseball blasting out due to a home run.

"What's this?"

Sun Mo subconsciously cocked his head.

Swish~

A light-blue ball of light arced past, generating gusts of winds that messed up Sun Mo's hair.

If this object slammed into his face, his head would probably explode and his brain juices gushed out.

"Teacher, I was wrong!"

Lu Zhiruo knelt with a thud. She placed her hands on the ground and her forehead pressed down on the back of her hands, adopting a posture of getting ready to be beaten or scolded.

"What's going on?"

After Li Ziqi finished asking, she saw that the silver box had been opened. After that, her mouth became 'o' shaped as she was filled with astonishment.

"How did you do it?"

There was no need to ask. This ball of light definitely ran out from the box.

"I...I…"

Lu Zhiruo's tears fell from her face. (I have no idea either!)

"Careful, don't be injured!"

Sun Mo reminded them while he activated Divine Sight at the same time to observe this flying object.

"Guard the door and windows, don't let it escape."

Li Ziqi shouted loudly.

Compared to it dying, letting this thing escape was then the most unforgivable thing.

Even the silver box holding it was so high-end. From this, one could very well imagine that this secret treasure was definitely extremely priceless.

Warning: Unknown target. Danger level: unknown!

Host should protect himself well.

This time around, his eye technique wasn't trash. Although it didn't show the origin of this thing, its data of the various stats appeared.

"A transformer that's capable of flight?"

Sun Mo was astonished.

The external appearance of this thing was like a metallic puppet. It had arms and legs. On its back and limbs, there were strange runic patterns and it was currently shining with a light blue glow.

"Teacher, this thing can actually fly!"

Qin Yaoguang exclaimed in shock.

After hearing this, Sun Mo's brows furrowed and he observed it even more closely. After that, he took the chance when it flew near him to suddenly attack.

Pak!

Sun Mo caught hold of it, but because its inertia was too great, Sun Mo was dragged forward by the momentum. In fact, he even felt like his arms were about to be pulled out of their sockets.

"Damn!"

Sun Mo had no solutions. He could only exert his full force and swung it to the ground.

Bang!

The secret treasure smashed on the floor. The blue light from its body fizzled and it was like a damaged robot as its four limbs flailed about with irregular rhythm.

A few minutes later, it became completely immobile.

"It looks like a puppet!"

Li Ziqi stopped Qin Yaoguang who wanted to go nearer. "Be careful of danger!"

"Someone has to touch it regardless!"

Qin Yaoguang chewed on her candy and didn't mind at all. She directly hoisted the metallic puppet up and turned it around to inspect it.

"You should get up first!"

Seeing Lu Zhiruo's tear-stained face, Sun Mo couldn't help but console her.

"Teacher, I swear that it was the first to act."

The papaya girl explained and didn't dare to get up.

"I understand. Stop crying. Even if it is damaged, I won't lecture you."

Through his Divine Sight, Sun Mo could already see the internal structure of the metallic puppet. It was extremely sophisticated and seemed more like a piece of machinery than a puppet from the Nine Provinces.

In any case, in Sun Mo's knowledge, there was no similar invention in the history of the Nine Provinces.

"It should be a product of a certain darkness civilization!"

Sun Mo recalled all the scenes he had seen and instructed his students. "I'm going into seclusion now. If there are no important matters, don't disturb me."

After speaking, Sun Mo took the metallic puppet and entered his bedroom.

"Could Teacher have discovered what it is?"

Qin Yaoguang was curious.

"Definitely!"

Tantai Yutang gazed at the silver box. "There's no need to be anxious. In any case, even if our teacher discovers a divine skill, he will also teach us about it."

…

Sun Mo sat beside his desk and after preparing a quill pen and many pieces of paper, he took out a spirit rune design template.

"System, help me design a flying-type spirit rune that resembles the Flight in the Dragon Ball series."

Sun Mo suggested. "After activating it, I would be able to soar through the air."

"Sorry, I'm unable to accomplish it!" The system's reply was stiff and cold.

Actually, Sun Mo had guessed that this would be the result. If not, he would have long since gotten the system to design a spirit rune like this. But now, he wanted to be clear of the reason. "Why are you not able to?"

"Because its influence on this world is too great. Host, I can provide assistance to you, but only under the prerequisite that you are not doing things that would 'defy' this world's laws."

The system explained.

"For example, the Black Tortoise Spirit Rune and the Lightning Protection Spirit Rune. There are many cultivation arts in the Nine Provinces that possess similar or even higher levels of defense and attacking capabilities. But as for flying…

"Sorry, up until now...there's no divine skill like this in the entire Nine Provinces."

"Even absolute experts in the Saint Realm wouldn't be able to do this."

Sun Mo's lips twitched. "Then, what's going on with Meteoric Rise?"

Among great teacher halos, there was one called Meteoric Rise.

After great teachers used it, it would be like they were stepping on clouds and could stand anywhere, including rising in the air.

"You basically don't understand the concept of flying. It is like a bird that can fly freely in the air. From then onward, gravity has no way to restrict their body."

The system explained patiently. "However, Meteoric Rise is different. It will only give you a 'lodging point' and allow you to stand in the air. If the halo vanishes, you will fall down. However, Flight can allow you to remain in the air until your spirit qi is completely exhausted."

"You are so useless. Tell me, what do I need you for?" Sun Mo snorted in disdain. "Just go and rest then!"

After that, Sun Mo threw the design template away. He took up a quill pen and began to design this himself.

This contemplation lasted for five days.

Even his original plan was delayed.

Bai Wenzhang arrived.

"Teacher is in seclusion!"

As the eldest disciple, Li Ziqi naturally was the one responsible to receive distinguished guests.

"Mn!"

Bai Wenzhang indicated that he understood. He was even a little excited. "Please inform me as soon as possible the moment he exits seclusion!"

(I really wish to find out what Teacher Sun has thought of!)

Just like how Bai Wenzhang had an epiphany earlier, Sun Mo was currently in the zone as well. This was the spark of inspiration produced when the thoughts of ancestors met.

So, it was really impossible for one to build a cart behind closed doors.

And 30 days later…

Sun Mo was bent over his desk.

The crumpled balls of papers on the ground had gathered and reached the height of a palm.

"Are you still not planning to give up?"

The system saw that Sun Mo was still bent over his desk and attempting to draw an impossible spirit rune, wasting his valuable life away. It couldn't take this anymore.

"Maybe you don't know how ridiculous the concept of creating a flying spirit rune in the Nine Provinces is. Usually, we will only use two words to describe people like this - Rune Saint. It isn't that I'm looking down on you. But in tens of thousands of years of history, no one has achieved this. Do you feel that you are the most impressive one? Just admit that you were wrong! You cannot brag like this or it will become black history for you in the future. Whoever sees you will surely mock you.

"Yo, ignoring me? It's fine, I'm not angry. As your supportive system, I should have the magnanimity to permit the existence of an arrogant and egotistical host like you. Look at the runic lines, that's so stupid. If such simple patterns can allow one to fly, why didn't the spirit runists of the past think of this? Wouldn't they have wasted their lives?

"You still don't want to give up? Ziqi? Ziqi, are you here? Quickly pour a cup of coffee for your teacher and pour it on his head! Yo, you finally stopped. Have you completed it? Haha go on and start your spirit runes show then, go and activate it. Come on, activate it! Beautiful, you are actually infusing your spirit qi into the rune…

"Just 17 runic lines, but you want to complete a high-difficulty project like flight? Are you dreaming? If you are capable of flight, I WILL GIVE YOU 100 GREAT TEACHER HALOS TODAY!"

Amidst the clamor ringing out in his mind due to the system's grumbling and complaints, that spirit rune on the piece of paper started to glow with a light-blue light. After that, it began to float in the air.

"Ga…"

The system was stunned.

"That was a gust of wind, right?"

But the door and windows of the bedroom weren't open.

"I...it can't be, right?"

Could Sun Mo have truly completed the design of the Flying Spirit Rune?

"How is it?"

Sun Mo teased.

"M...my great host is the number one person with the greatest expertise in the study of spirit runes in the entire Nine Provinces!"

The system called out.

(Forget it, let's just bootlick him first.)

Today, it could be considered that the system had broadened its horizons.

"You are the number one spirit runist in the Nine Provinces! I said it! I'll crush the heads of those who are unconvinced."

"Hehe!"

Sun Mo laughed softly and leaned back against the chair.

He had spent all his effort contemplating for over a month, and his brainpower had been overly 'consumed'. This caused him to feel very tired now. However, he was happy when he looked at his creation.

Actually, Sun Mo had long since wanted a flying-type spirit rune, but he understood that among the peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts in the Nine Provinces, there were very few movement arts. As for flying? That was nothing but a fool's fantasy.

So, Sun Mo had given up.

When he saw this metallic puppet flying randomly, Sun Mo actually didn't think about it too much. But after Qin Yaoguang said that it could actually fly, Sun Mo was reminded of this fact.

Hence, he focused his attention on the glowing light-blue rune patterns when it was flying. He didn't expect that a portion of them truly had the effect of levitation.

Sun Mo immediately started to experiment.

He discovered that purely copying was useless.

Because these spirit runes didn't only have the effect of flying. There were other effects too. However, Sun Mo couldn't be clear of them even now. There was no solution to it. Since he wasn't able to copy them, he could only do the next best thing.

Hence, Sun Mo started to freely design a new rune based on those spirit runes.

In the Dragonspirit Manor, Sun Mo had seen many ancient spirit runes before. Besides, he also had in-depth discussions with Bai Wenzhang and personally watched how Bai Wenzhang created the Spiritwave Cannon Spirit Rune.

This knowledge and experience caused him to improve tremendously. And finally, Sun Mo used his accumulated knowledge along with the lucky opportunity that was the flying metallic puppet to design a flying-type spirit rune.

One could say that this was something formed from his talent, intelligence, hard work, and other things.

"How is its effect? After humans use it, can they fly like swallows?"

The system was curious.

"Not yet. This current version can at most make people float."

Sun Mo sighed.

"Using a month to achieve this standard is already good enough."

The system praised, "In any case, you already have a train of thought. You can continue to improve on it in the future!"

"Mn!"

Sun Mo was tired. At the very least, he didn't wish to continue researching spirit runes temporarily.
