Absolute Great Teacher
chapter-918

Humans lived for face, trees lived for their 'skin'.

In this world, no one would like to be looked down upon by others.

Jin Mujie had outstanding talent and was the so-called 'genius' that the parents of other families referred to when they spoke to their kids. Her path had been very smooth and she became a 3-star great teacher in her twenties.

Such a battle achievement was considered top-tier even in the great teacher world.

If it wasn't for her being good friends with An Xinhui, she basically wouldn't have come to the Central Province Academy to teach. After all, her aptitude and potential could allow her to freely select any of the Nine Greats.

The days simply passed like that as she accumulated experience slowly. According to the flow, she would be able to become a 4-star great teacher before she was 35 years old.

But who could have known that she met Sun Mo halfway? He was merely 21 and he completed the achievements of getting three stars in one year.

Jin Mujie instantly felt a huge pressure.

As a genius, who was also a senior, Jin Mujie had her own pride. She didn't want Sun Mo to surpass her. Hence, she grew anxious and before she was fully prepared, she went to participate in the 4-star great teacher examination and this ended up in failure.

What was even more depressing was that An Xinhui, who went with her, had passed.

At that instant, Jin Mujie felt that her entire world dimmed. The sense of superiority she had built up for so many years was instantly shattered.

"Teacher Jin…"

Sun Mo originally wanted to say that winning and losing were commonplace, but when he saw Jin Mujie evading his gaze, he suddenly couldn't say such a thing.

No one would be willing to listen to such nonsense.

Everyone wanted to become a winner instead of a failure that was being consoled.

Sun Mo might as well not say anything. He walked toward the window and stared at the scenery on the campus.

Ding!

"Mission issued: Jin Mujie's will is declining. Please counsel her and save the future of a great teacher."

"Bonus: Make Jin Mujie join your great teacher circle. Duration of the mission: 1 year. If you fail, there will be a punishment."

The system notification rang out suddenly, breaking Sun Mo's mood.

"Why would there be a punishment?" Sun Mo frowned but the system didn't reply.

"Eh?" Jin Mujie started. What sort of pattern was this?

Ever since she returned to the school, many colleagues had consoled her. This was especially so for those males. They had given her gifts and wanted to bring her out to enjoy herself. There were many sorts of patterns.

Jin Mujie understood that the men wanted to take this chance and enter her heart.

Now that she met Sun Mo, she already thought of how to handle him to make him leave. But this fellow didn't seem to have any intention of consoling her at all.

"I look optimistic and have no pursuit toward glory. But in reality, I hate losing. I like the feeling of becoming a life-winner," said Sun Mo.

When Sun Mo was studying, the thing he liked most was the midterm exam and final exam. When he saw his results being ranked high-up above so many people, he would feel extremely happy and satisfied.

Jin Mujie's brows lifted.

In the Nine Provinces, great teachers emphasized on their bearing. If these words were circulated out, a portion of Sun Mo's reputation would be damaged.

Because he liked striving for the top and vying with others too much.

It was like physical education in the modern era. Everyone had to shout slogans like friendship was number one and competition was number two. If anyone dared to shout things like 'I'm here because I want to be number one', the others would surely boo him.

"Teacher Jin, my life is still long, and there are still many stages where I can display my potential. I hope to defeat all sorts of geniuses on the different stages and trample them below my feet."

Sun Mo turned his head and looked at Jin Mujie. "Would you cheer for me?"

Jin Mujie was stunned. Never did she expect Sun Mo to say something like this. But after looking into his eyes, she understood this fellow wasn't joking.

Because she was extremely familiar with such a gaze.

Once, she also had the same attitude. (Regardless of what opponents there are, just bring it on. This lady will crush all of you!)

"Sis Jin, do you know? When I first saw you at the pavilion of the Sorrowless Lake, I had an impulse of wanting to make you mine. I felt that only a genius like me is worthy of a female great teacher with both looks and talents like you."

Sun Mo changed his term of address for her.

If he wanted to awaken Jin Mujie's battle intent, he had to do things in a ruthless manner.

Jin Mujie's countenance changed. She was a little indignant and angry. Naturally, there was a trace of superiority and joy as well.

One couldn't help but say that Sun Mo was tall and handsome. In addition to his accomplishment of getting 3 stars in a single year, he was already super charismatic.

It was like when an ordinary person confessed to a beauty, that person would be scolded by others, saying he was a toad lusting after a swan's flesh. But if a handsome celebrity who had his own business and a networth of millions was the one confessing to the beauty instead, even that beauty would feel a sense of glory.

Because this confession was also a type of recognition to herself.

"I heard you went to take the 4-star great teacher examination this year. Actually, I hoped that you would fail. This is because I wish to compete against you on the same stage and surpass you to prove that I'm more outstanding."

Sun Mo stared straight at Jin Mujie and smiled. "Now, an opportunity has arrived.

"But speaking of which, with those few personal students of yours, you will surely lose if we participate in the 4-star great teacher examination together next year."

When Jin Mujie heard this, she felt somewhat unhappy. She then called out, "Sun Mo, it's fine if you talk bad about me, but please do not doubt my students."

Sun Mo's lips curled. He walked to the front of Jin Mujie and looked down at her imperiously with virtue from his taller height.

(My heavens, her papayas are truly big if I glance down from this angle.)

When facing Sun Mo's invasive gaze, Jin Mujie subconsciously wanted to retreat. However, her many years of pride made her choose to stand unmoving at her original location and match Sun Mo's gaze head-on.

"I know the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art!"

Sun Mo suddenly changed the topic.

"What?"

Jin Mujie started. She subconsciously looked at Sun Mo's eyes and observed his expressions. But after that, she angrily reprimanded, "Since when did you change and become someone who would speak off the cuff?"

"Hehe!"

Sun Mo laughed. He cracked his fingers forcefully. "This time, my greatest harvest from the trip to the Dragon Subduing Academy isn't the 3-star title. It's the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture."

"Are you dreaming?"

Jin Mujie rolled her eyes.

These two were the ultimate divine arts of the Skyraise and Dragon Subduing Academies respectively. Even the top geniuses of the academies wouldn't be qualified to learn them before they proved their loyalty to the school.

(Sun Mo? Based on what? Even if you are the illegitimate son of the headmaster, you are not qualified enough!)

"You can choose not to believe me, but I am not lying. What I want to say is just this. Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Sun Mo's lips twitched and stared provocatively at Jin Mujie. "For the 4-star great teacher examination next year, let us compete. If you win, you can choose one of these two divine arts and I will teach it to you."

After hearing this, Jin Mujie's heart involuntarily thumped quicker.

These were the ultimate divine arts of the Nine Greats. In the entire Nine Provinces, who wouldn't want to learn them?

With no exaggeration, cultivation arts of this level could change the fate of a person.

"What if I lose?" Jin Mujie asked.

"Accompany me for three months."

Sun Mo intentionally emphasized with a heavy tone when he said the word 'accompany'. Moreover, his gaze slid down on Jin Mujie's large papayas.

This meaning was clear without words. It meant to let him do whatever he pleased.

"You…"

Jin Mujie's face turned red as she grew angry.

"You have to keep this matter a secret from Xinhui."

As Sun Mo spoke, he patted Jin Mujie on her shoulders and left the office.

"Shameful, arrogant, egotistical. Do you think you can win for sure?"

Jin Mujie raged and slammed her palms on the table, knocking the cup of tea over. But after venting for a while, she calmed down.

(Sigh, it can be considered that you took a lot of trouble just for the sake of encouraging me. However, using this method might cause others to misunderstand you.)

Jin Mujie sighed.

After all, she wasn't a fool. She knew Sun Mo's character and that was why she understood him. Sun Mo was trying to save her using a roundabout method.

Although he said that she was beautiful and had a good figure, she knew that Sun Mo didn't lack beautiful great teachers by his side. Mei Ziyu had a strong family background and had the beauty to match her talent. She didn't want to stay in the Jixia Learning Palace and had actually traveled so far to work as a teacher in the Central Province Academy. Her intention was clear even without saying.

Also, that beautiful reporter Li Ruolan. She kept appearing in the school during this period, seeking out news of Sun Mo's situation.

As for Gu Xiuxun, she had almost evolved into Sun Mo's crazy fan.

"Sun Mo, I don't need you to encourage me. I, Jin Mujie, am not a woman that would be so easily defeated by a setback. For the 4-star great teacher examination next year, just wait and see. I will surely defeat you and make you my servant for three months."

Jin Mujie clenched her fists.

(But does Sun Mo really know two ultimate divine arts? I better privately speak with An Xinhui and tell her to warn Sun Mo not to recklessly leak this great secret. If not, huge trouble would surely arise.)

…

Ding!

"Mission completed: Helping Jin Mujie to increase her will. Reward: 1x golden treasure chest."

After hearing the notification, Sun Mo whistled. He then went to the headmaster office to look for An Xinhui. This was because Dong He had told him yesterday of a major incident that would affect the Central Province's future.

But on his way there, Sun Mo was stopped by the energetic Gu Xiuxun who rushed over.

"Oi, are we still friends or not? You didn't even tell me that you've returned? If it wasn't for Zhang Yanzong informing me, I would still have no idea."

Gu Xiuxun stared at Sun Mo with an expression of resentment. She looked like an abandoned girlfriend who had been knocked up accidentally.

"Xiuxun, I just returned yesterday and have to settle all urgent matters first before I can look for you, right?"

Sun Mo was helpless. "I originally planned to ask you for lunch today."

This was true. As great teachers who had joined the school in the same period, in addition to their similarities in age, Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun could get along very well.

Naturally, Gu Xiuxun was beautiful and also had a pair of long legs that added many points for her.

After all, which guys would reject having many beautiful female friends?

"That's still acceptable."

Gu Xiuxun was satisfied now. She punched Sun Mo lightly. "When you have time, go and look for Sister Jin. She failed the examination and is in a bad mood. Later, we should invite her to join us for lunch too."

"I already went over to look for her."

Sun Mo subconsciously blurted. After that, he felt like smacking his own mouth.

As expected, Gu Xiuxun's gaze immediately turned over.

(What do you mean? I thought you had important matters to do first?)

(Is Jin Mujie's matter that urgent?)

(As expected, you are lying to me.)

(Do you weigh your friendship according to the size of your friends' papayas?)

(Hmph! You are despicable!)

(You are just a smelly male lusting for her body, right?)

"It was Xinhui who asked me to go."

Sun Mo hurriedly told a white lie and changed the topic. "Oh right, I managed to learn the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. Do you want to learn it?"

"Ah? Is this true?"

Gu Xiuxun was dumbstruck. After that, she smiled.

(So, I was mistaken. Sun Mo was even willing to teach me God Hands. Now, he even shared such a great secret with me. He truly values this friendship.)

Pak!

Gu Xiuxun elbowed Sun Mo. "I won't learn the divine art, but you are still a good bro of mine. I would suffer on your behalf and wouldn't flinch even if my stomach was pierced by many blades."
