Absolute Great Teacher
chapter-1266-30041322

Translator: Lordbluefire

After so many years, Sun Mo’s disciples had long since become famous.

There was no need to mention anything about the female emperor of Great Tang, Li Zigi. She had become the youngest great teacher in history. As for Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu, one was given the title ‘the number one spear king’ among the younger generations, and the other one was known as an

archery goddess.

During these few years, many people had come to find Xuanyuan Po due to his fame, but they had all been defeated by him.

Before the Hero Battle started, some people had even said that he was the strongest attacker in the Nine Provinces. The truth had proven that Xuanyuan Po could indeed live up to this name

His fights were either insta-kills or settled within three minutes. Hence, one could say that he was tyrannically strong.

Yuan Yuan was also a spear user and was naturally unconvinced. So, the moment the battle started, both parties started attacking without holding back. They wanted to see who could kill the other party first before they got killed.

And after five minutes of a furious clash, Yuan Yuan was in a disadvantageous position.

Be it cultivation art or combat experience, both parties were at the same level. But in terms of will, Yuan Yuan was a shade inferior. He would feel pain and when he came face to face with attacks that could really kill him, he would become nervous. This caused his moves to be delayed slightly and his form to

be weakened.

On the other hand, Xuanyuan Po was as calm as water in an ancient well. It was like the blows that struck him weren’t striking his body at all.

‘There was no solution to it. Yuan Yuan knew that if this continued, he would lose for sure. Hence, he decisively switched to defense from offense, preparing to stay on guard.

As long as Xuanyuan Po couldn’t break his defense and lose his momentum, he would be the eventual winner.

Upon seeing this scene, exclamations of shock rang out through the crowd. This meant that Yuan Yuan had admitted that he was inferior to Xuanyuan Po when it came to attacking.

One must know that from the start of this competition, Yuan Yuan had also relied on a silver spear to slaughter his enemies all the way.

“Is that fellow a monster?”

Outsiders looked at drama, while experts could see the true essence. All the cultivators were dumbfounded when they saw Xuanyuan Po who was unafraid of death.

Death was the greatest fear in life, and it was a brand carved into one’s instinct. Yet, this youth truly didn’t care about that.

“This is truly the supreme martial path. He has no more distracting thoughts in his mind!”

A 6-stars great teacher, who had been talking bad about Sun Mo all this while, felt so envious that he almost drooled. (This youth would surely become a king among all spear kings.)

“It’s stable now!”

Lu Zhiruo and Xianyu Wei high-fived to celebrate. After that, they hugged each other and cheered happily.

Others felt that Xuanyuan Po was unrivaled when it came to attacking, but only his fellow martial siblings understood that the most terrifying thing about the combat addict was his immense spirit and his off-the-chart recovery capability.

Yuan Yuan wanted to wait for Xuanyuan Po’s strength to be exhausted?

What a joke.

The combat addict could sustain 15 minutes of such high-momentum attacks!

As expected, after Yuan Yuan was fully focused on defense, Xuanyuan Po could fully concentrate on attacking, unleashing various techniques.

“Beautiful!”

Those experts cheered again.

This fight showed beautiful offense and defense. It was just that Yuan Yuan couldn’t say anything because he discovered that it was getting increasingly strenuous for him to block the attacks.

If this continued, he would surely lose.

This discovery caused him to feel very disappointed.

Because this indicated that he was inferior to Xuanyuan Po. However, an instant later, Yuan Yuan adjusted his mental state and started to think of solutions.

Since he couldn’t outlast his opponent, he had to decisively settle it within a short period. In that case, the only solution was for both of them to compete with their ultimate techniques.

Yuan Yuan roared in rage as the spirit qi in his body gushed forth.

Spear God Possession, Hundred Battle Shadows!

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

Seven clones that looked exactly the same as Yuan Yuan separated from his body and surrounded Xuanyuan Po. After that, each of them unleashed an ultimate technique.

This was none other than Yuan Yuan’s absolute ultimate skill. He could split a part of his soul and transform it into spear shadows that could attack automatically.

Blazing Flames Ignite, Heavens Burial, World into Ashes!

BOOM!

Xuanyuan Po’s entire body emitted steam. After that, he directly turned into a human torch, and the flames on his body ignited anything they touched.

Asa result, those spear shadows were like candles and began to burn.

‘The experts among the judges immediately acted to contain the impact so they could protect the audience from being burned to death.

But even so, the audience was frightened. At this moment, the platform was covered with a sea of flames. The scorching temperature was painful enough to cause the audience to subconsciously retreat.

Some great teachers had even tossed out calming-type halos, or the stampede formed from the panic would definitely trample many to death.

Boom!

After a while, a body burning in flames flew out of the sea of flames and fell down the platform.

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!

The medical staff who were long since prepared immediately rushed forward and started emergency treatment.

“The victor has been decided!”

‘The great teachers glanced at the platform. On it, the sea of flames had died down and Xuanyuan Po’s silhouette along with his silver spear could be seen. His body was riddled with wounds that had stopped bleeding due to the high heat.

“Isn’t this battle a little too violent?”

“This battle absolutely has the feel of a legendary-realm battle!”

“Fascinating!”

‘The audience discussed as they applauded loudly.

“Oh yay, we won!” Lu Zhiruo and Xianyu Wei cheered. The former immediately prodded Tantai Yutang. “Why are you in a daze? Quickly go and treat Xuanyuan!”

“Haha, the championship is in our hands, how satisfying!”

Helian Beifang laughed uproariously. (Who would have thought that the very finals of the Number One Hero Battle would be decided between two of our martial siblings? We are destined to get the top two places, are you afraid or not?)

Helian Beifang had originally wanted to congratulate his teacher, but when he turned his head, he discovered that his teacher had a heavy look on his face. This was the same for his eldest martial sister.

Mn?

Helian Beifang frowned. Just when he wanted to ask what’s the problem, everyone in the judging panel suddenly stood up in unison. That head judge even started to instruct the security group to come over.

“Capture him!”

‘Him referred to Xuanyuan Po.

Although they didn’t know what was going on, the order of the head judge was undoubtable. Hence, the security guards immediately charged up the platform.

“What’s going on?”

‘The students all glanced at Sun Mo.

“You guys wait here!”

Sun Mo instructed and activated the Skyward Spirit Rune. His entire body then flew up and landed before Xuanyuan Po.

Wow!

This scene caused many people to widen their eyes.

After all, the ability of flight, no matter in which era, represented the most beautiful dream and utmost freedom.

“Eldest Martial Sister!”

Lu Zhiruo grew anxious. She could also tell that something was wrong.

“You guys, wait here!”

Li Ziqi gritted her teeth. After warning everyone, she also floated in the air and moved toward the stage.

Given how solemn the judge and great teachers looked, something major must have happened. The little sunny egg didn’t want her martial siblings to be implicated, or their future might be affected. However, all his martial siblings were united against a common enemy.

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

All of them also flew up.

(Wow!)

Let alone the ordinary folks being wowed, even great teachers with wide horizons and high prestige couldn’t be calm at this moment. A bunch of people flying up in unison—the shock brought by the sight of this was simply off-the-charts.

“Is this the Skyward Spirit Rune? I finally have the fate to see it. It’s too cool!”

“In that case, did Ying Baiwu go easy on her opponents? If she could fly, wouldn’t she be the champion already?”

“But using flying might seem a little like cheating?”

“That’s an ability granted by her teacher. It’s like the money your parents give you; it will surely be your money in the end!”

Everyone started discussing, but they soon discovered that this argument was meaningless because the top two places already belonged to Sun Mo’s disciples. However, why was the current atmosphere so tense?

In the crowd, Square-face and his companions who had once stopped Li Ziqi and the others were also observing the situation.

Upon seeing this, all of them drew in a breath of air.

“What’s supposed to happen has happened after all!”

Square-face sighed in sorrow. “No matter how talented Xuanyuan is, to people of the Nine Provinces, he is an aberration, an existence that has to be killed.”

“T originally thought that given how great Great Teacher Sun’s fame is, he should be able to protect Xuanyuan. But from the looks of things now, I was hoping for too much.”

Little Chestnut clenched his fist tightly. “Elder bro, what should we do?”

“Let’s take a step at a time!”

Square-face indicated for everyone to stay calm.

The commotion on the platform caused many low star-ranking great teachers to realize that something was wrong. All of them gradually fell silent.

“Teacher Sun, from the looks of it, you already knew Xuanyuan Po’s identity?”

‘The head judge questioned.

Several major characters frowned. If Sun Mo admitted to it, this matter would be extremely troublesome.

“Xuanyuan’s aptitude is so strong, so I have long since had my guesses about his origins, but I only confirmed it after he displayed his innate divine ability.”

Sun Mo spoke in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.

Upon hearing the words ‘innate divine ability’, plenty of major characters who knew some secrets involuntarily inhaled a breath of cold air.

Because this term was used to describe darkness seeds.

There were a total of six levels in the Darkness Continent, and each level had different laws. So, for some of the darkness seeds born there, they might be lucky enough to gain some miraculous ability when they were born.

For example, for Xuanyuan Po, his skin and muscles could absorb moves powered by spirit qi and weaken the strength of those moves by a portion.

In the past, Xuanyuan Po was afraid his identity might be exposed, hence, he didn’t dare to use it. But for this battle, his opponent was too powerful and he had to give it his all. Besides, they were both enjoying such a satisfying battle. He felt that if he held back his strength, it would be a form of disrespect to

his opponent.

Hence, his secret was discovered.

“Teacher Sun, I respect you, that’s why I have to ask you to leave. Do not interfere in this matter!”

The judge spoke again.

“Teacher Sun, quickly come down!”

Some great teachers whose relationship with Sun Mo wasn’t bad persuaded him out of goodwill.

“What’s going on?”

‘The audience was dumbstruck. For something like darkness seeds, let alone ordinary people, even some low-star ranking great teachers wouldn’t have heard of this term.

This was a taboo topic that the Saint Gate had forbidden people from discussing. If someone spoke about this topic and it was discovered, they would be punished.

Li Zigi snuck a glance at her teacher and felt somewhat conflicted.

‘The head judge had given sufficient face to her teacher. As long as her teacher stepped aside, everyone wouldn’t speak of Xuanyuan Po’s true identity and this could be settled privately. It wouldn’t damage Sun Mo’s reputation.

However, once this was divulged, Sun Mo would be thought of as someone who had eyes but was blind. His reputation would be stained by a darkness seed forever. Moreover, those who hated Sun Mo could always toss in some rumors to harm him by saying that despite Sun Mo knowing that a darkness seed

was the Saint Gate’s taboo, he had still taught and nurtured one meticulously…

If this was confirmed, leaving aside the fact that Sun Mo might no longer be able to be a great teacher, he might even be banished to the Darkness Continent.

As someone born in royalty, Li Ziqi already understood that when someone did things, it didn’t matter whether it was right or wrong. The authority to decide right or wrong only lay in the hands of those with power.

Secondary Saint Hu wanted to help, but he was stopped by Yang Shizhan.

“Wait a little more!”

Saint Yang swept his gaze at the great teachers and observed their expressions.

“Great Teacher Sun, don’t make a mistake!”

When the head judge saw Sun Mo not replying, his tone became extremely severe…
