Absolute Great Teacher
chapter-970

“Sun Mo, what do you mean by this?”

A 6-stars great teacher lashed out. Moreover, he called Sun Mo by his name, sounding very rude.

“You are?”

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight.

“Wang Zhong, a 6-stars great teacher, grandmaster-level weaponsmith, grandmaster-level archeologist, and grandmaster-level linguist. He is a strong expert in the Longevity Realm.”

It was no wonder this guy dared to speak so rudely. He was a grandmaster in three areas. Just the fact that he was a grandmaster of archeology was enough to make him very popular amongst the many famous schools.

Some great teachers didn’t have much interest in teaching students. Instead, they devoted their energy to exploring the Darkness Continent.

It could be said that Wang Zhong had spent a great part of his life on this land’s ruins. Therefore, he hadn’t had much interaction with Sun Mo and naturally didn’t care if their relationship was good or not.

“Hmph!”

Wang Zhong let out a cold snort, clearly feeling that Sun Mo was not fitting to ask for his name. “Sun Mo, since you don’t wish to put in any effort, then please leave.”

“Does this road belong to you? This happens to be the direction I’m heading to, but you are saying that I can’t use this road?”

Since the other party’s attitude was bad, then Sun Mo didn’t hold back either.

“Pay attention to your words, otherwise, don’t blame me for not holding back.”

Wang Zhong threatened.

Sun Mo followed behind the group. Gradually, his countenance changed a little.

“What’s the matter?”

Murong Mingyue asked in a soft voice.

“I feel that something isn’t right. Let’s follow them for a little longer. If we still don’t see An Xinhui and the others then, we’ll leave.”

Sun Mo didn’t wish to continue any further.

Given his understanding of these aboriginals, they shouldn’t be so weak. Even if they couldn’t win in a fight, they’d also be very fast when fleeing.

Right now, this feeling was as if they were intentionally luring everyone toward a certain place.

After running for a little longer, the aboriginals in front were suddenly attacked. They had no choice but to stop.

“Teacher An, good job!”

Wang Zhong was elated and urged everyone, “Hurry up and kill them.”

“Who?”

Sun Mo looked up and saw that the group led by An Xinhui had stopped the aboriginals. He instantly felt his scalp turning numb.

(Why are you joining in?)

“Sister Xinhui, stop fighting. Let them go.”

Sun Mo bellowed.

Swoosh!

Everyone glared angrily at Sun Mo, especially Wang Zhong whose countenance was grim.

“Sun Mo, after this matter is over, I’ll definitely ask you for a spar.”

Quite a number of great teachers in the group gloated.

(Hehe! Sun Mo has gotten himself in trouble.)

“Little Momo?”

An Xinhui didn’t expect to encounter Sun Mo. She had wanted to greet him, but then she heard Wang Zhong’s words and immediately bellowed.

“Wang Zhong, you’re a 6-stars great teacher, so why are you bullying a junior? If you really want to have a spar, come look for me!”

An Xinhui’s words were said with great dominance.

However, no one felt that she wasn’t fitted for this.

Although An Xinhui was bad at being a headmaster, her strength was deep and unfathomable.

She was the strongest genius in the Heavenly Mystery Academy, one that was hard to encounter in 1,000 years. Amongst the great teachers of the same age group, she’d be able to rank in the top three. Challenging opponents of a higher cultivation level was a common thing to them.

Fighting great teachers of the same cultivation level would be considered bullying.

Seeing An Xinhui being so defensive of Sun Mo, the hearts of all the male great teachers present shattered. They felt envy, jealousy, hatred, and a strong urge to see Sun Mo die here.

(Why are you the one who gets to enjoy such a beautiful great teacher?)

“…”

Wang Zhong’s disposition dampened a little. To speak the truth, he didn’t wish to offend a genius like An Xinhui.

Sun Mo’s reputation had only grown in the past one year or so, through his outstanding performances in the great teacher examinations. But An Xinhui had enjoyed the reputation of a genius for ten years, from the point she entered her school.

If it wasn’t to inherit the Central Province Academy’s headmaster position, which led to her being tied down by secular matters over the past few years and thus delaying her cultivation, she’d probably have become incredibly strong.

Oh right, it was said that after Sun Mo shared some of her burdens, she immediately rose to a 4-stars this year.

“Back off!”

An Xinhui instructed.

The Central Province Academy’s group immediately moved away.

The aboriginals immediately charged past them. An Xinhui noticed that the aboriginal in the lead took a long look at Sun Mo. It wasn’t a look of gratitude, but one of worry and resentment.

“Could this be a plot?”

An Xinhui frowned.

“Sun Mo!”

Gu Xiuxun greeted Sun Mo, but he had no time to chat with her.

“Wang Zhong, you guys better stop chasing after them. There’s a problem with these aboriginals.”

Sun Mo reminded the other party.

He wasn’t doing this for Wang Zhong but for the safety of the students.

There were close to 100 people in total from these few famous schools’ groups. Out of which, half of them were students. They were all outstanding students with great prospects ahead of them.

“What problem?”

Wang Zhong shot back.

“Instinct!”

Sun Mo had no idea.

“Scram!”

After Wang Zhong retorted, he stopped paying any heed to Sun Mo. When he passed by An Xinhui, he couldn’t help but complain, “Is there something wrong with your fiancé’s head?”

“You’re the one who has something wrong with your head!”

An Xinhui said coldly.

“Sun Mo, why are there only the two of you here?”

“Teacher Sun!”

“Teacher Sun, how are your achievements?”

Everyone chipped in and asked, while the students quickly bowed and greeted him.

“What problem is there with those aboriginals?”

Liu Mubai frowned.

He had come on this trip too.

“I’ve had a few exchanges with them. Without exception, all of them were fearless of death and wouldn’t escape like this. Moreover, don’t you guys think that they are escaping too calmly?”

Sun Mo explained.

“In that round of attacks earlier, we’d be able to slay a few of them if we were to go all out. It’d be considered some achievements too.”

Liu Mubai still found it a pity.

After all, before absolute power, any tricks would be useless. They’d be too trashy if 100 of them couldn’t kill over ten aboriginals.

“Alright, let’s listen to Teacher Sun!”

Jin Mujie interjected. She then asked curiously, “Why did you guys come here? Do you have any goals?”

An Xinhui hadn’t used the dragon seeking pearl but was lucky enough to have caught a hostage. After interrogating the hostage, they found out their holy ground was here and thus had come to seek treasures.

“I’ve gotten my hand on a map from the aboriginals.”

After Sun Mo said that, a series of gasps rang out.

“Where is it?”

Everyone crowded over, feeling very excited. With a map, it’d mean that they’d have an extremely great advantage.

“Leave the map be. Sister Xinhui, the reason I’ve come to look for you is because I want to get everyone to hurry up and retreat.”

Sun Mo urged, “The Dark Dawn’s Doyen—the Green-robed Ancestor—is within this holy ground. Moreover, the magnates of those aboriginals aren’t people we can afford to offend.”

Sssss!

Hearing the name ‘Green-robed Ancestor’, everyone gasped.

“Did you see him in person? Could someone have intentionally spread rumors, wanting to scare off competitors?” Liu Mubai questioned.

“We’ve met him twice.”

Murong Mingyue rolled her eyes. This guy was really annoying.

“What?”

Liu Mubai was stunned.

(Anyone would die from encountering such a major character once! How did you manage to escape twice?)

Liu Mubai felt doubtful. Sun Mo couldn’t be a member of the Dark Dawn, could he?

“The Green-robed Ancestor wants to take Sun Mo as his disciple and thus didn’t kill him!”

Murong Mingyue explained so these people wouldn’t let their imagination run wild.

“…”

Everyone was speechless and they looked at Sun Mo with a stunned expression.

(Aren’t you being too outstanding? To think that you’re able to enthrall the heart of a Doyen from the Dark Dawn? That’s a Half-step Saint!)

“But what are we going to do with the results if we were to leave right now?”

Jin Mujie’s head ached.

They had only found some herbs over the past few days and didn’t make any important discoveries.

“You guys haven’t found any secret treasures of darkness at all?” Murong Mingyue frowned.

“It has only been a few days!” Liu Mubai argued.

“Judging from your tone, you guys have found something good, right?”

Jin Mujie didn’t see Li Ziqi’s group and thus was even more certain of her guess. Otherwise, Sun Mo wouldn’t let the students leave first.

“It’s alright!”

Sun Mo nodded.

“What the hell do you mean by it’s alright?”

Liu Mubai complained, “Teacher Sun, the results of the competition will affect our school’s ranking. We mustn’t take it lightly.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely be able to step up to a higher grade.”

Murong Mingyue couldn’t take it anymore. “Let’s stop with the chat and hurry up!”

No one moved. Everyone was shocked by the words ‘step up to a higher grade’.

“What did you guys find?” Jin Mujie was curious.

“A No Return, a Life-Death Flower, and a Homeward-Bound Ginseng.”

These things needed to be reported anyway, so he didn’t keep it secret.

An Xinhui’s group felt at a loss as if they were drowning in water.

What were these things? They hadn’t heard of them before! But they sounded very amazing!

“Are they very valuable?”

Gu Xiuxun asked hesitantly.

“I don’t know if they are valuable or not, but I know that No Return can allow a plant to evolve into a greater lifeform.”

“As for the Life-Death Flower, after eating it, it could heal injuries and give one several hundred years of lifespan. As for the Homeward-Bound Ginseng…”

With each introduction Murong Mingyue gave, the astonishment on the teachers and students’ faces deepened.

“Hurry up! What about the Homeward-Bound Ginseng?”

Gu Xiuxun urged.

“We’ll need to keep it a secret!”

Murong Mingyue didn’t wish to say it. If others were to find out that this thing could allow a person to have two lives, then it couldn’t be their trump card anymore.

“Sun Mo, tell me secretly!”

Gu Xiuxun tugged Sun Mo’s sleeves. “I promise I won’t tell anyone.”

“I’ll tell you after we go back!”

Sun Mo persuaded, “Sister Xinhui, if you don’t wish to miss out on this chance, then let the students go back first and just leave a few great teachers behind.”

“Alright!” An Xinhui made the decision. “Teacher Jin, Teacher Liu, please send the students back.”

Just these two species of darkness alone would be sufficient for the school’s grade to stay at its current grade. They might even move up one grade higher.

(Little Momo, you’re really my strong pillar!)

Ding!

Favorable impression points from An Xinhui +1,000. Reverence (44,500/100,000).

An Xinhui’s face flushed a little. She felt too embarrassed that the school could advance by a grade when she hadn’t done anything at all.

Happiness really came too quickly, like a tornado.

“Xinhui, I wish to stay behind.” Liu Mubai refused.

His mind was in a mess right now.

(Why did I lose again? I have never heard of the species of darkness that Sun Mo found. Isn’t the gap between us too great?)

(This won’t do! I must put up a fight!)

Liu Mubai had a strong pride and wasn’t willing to lose so badly.

Very soon, An Xinhui made a decision. In the end, the ones who could stay behind were herself, Sun Mo, Liu Mubai, Jin Mujie, and Murong Mingyue.

Gu Xiuxun wanted to stay behind too, but she wasn’t strong enough.

Murong Mingyue wasn’t interested in exploration, and the reason she stayed behind was to protect Sun Mo.

“You guys must leave this forest as soon as possible and rush back to the base.”

Sun Mo reminded them repeatedly.

“What’s next? Where should we head to?”

Liu Mubai licked his lips. “Where’s your map? Take it out and show everyone.”

“Let’s follow Wang Zhong and the others. We might be able to pick up some loots!”

Jin Mujie proposed.
