Absolute Great Teacher
chapter-980

Li Ziqi and the others sat limply on the ground as they stared at an endless stretch of plants behind them. They were so frightened that their limbs grew soft.

What a narrow escape!

“What exactly happened?”

Xianyu Wei felt her scalp turning numb.

These plants seemed to have come alive. They had grown frenziedly and attacked all humans in the surroundings. When they had been fleeing, they could only watch as some students from a certain school were bound and dragged under the soil.

This was a live burial.

“This time around, I have to really thank Teacher Mei for your help!”

Tantai Yutang expressed his gratitude.

“I wonder how Teacher is now?”

Li Ziqi was worried and subconsciously wanted to return to look for Su Mo. However, she was stopped by Gu Xiuxun.

“Sun Mo will surely be fine!”

Gu Xiuxun appeared to be very calm and was consoling Li Ziqi, but her heart was in chaos.

“Teacher, your hand is trembling!’

Li Ziqi smiled bitterly.

The scene earlier, where the plants had undergone explosive growth and lunged over, resembled a green-colored tsunami that wanted to crush everything.

“The forest is so dense now, and there’s basically no way to get through it. I think we better follow our teacher’s instructions and return first.”

Helian Beifang was afraid that the plants might launch another wave of attacks. If that happened, they would definitely die.

“Teacher has Little Silver, he can fly.”

Qin Yaoguang also persuaded the others.

“Let’s return to the encampment,”

Mei Ziyu gave the order after she saw that everyone had rested sufficiently.

…

Only after Sun Mo had left the holy ground did he realize that he had been too egoistical.

He thought that after setting the range, it would at most affect a piece of the experimental lab. But in reality, the affected area was still very large.

“I wonder if Ziqi and the others managed to escape?”

Sun Mo felt conflicted.

“It’s useless even if you worry about them now. Let’s make haste!”

Liu Mubai consoled Sun Mo.

The famous school groups that entered the Greenhaze Forest had learned of the holy ground through various methods. Hence, they had rushed over with haste.

However, in the end, they were either attacked heavily by the aboriginals, or chased and killed by people from the Dark Dawn. The lucky survivors were then vanquished by the force of nature.

This was what heavy casualties were like.

Sun Mo had planned to inform the judging panel after returning to the campsite, telling them that if they didn’t retreat from this forest within three days, they would encounter frenzied attacks by the aboriginals.

But even without his warning, the Saint Gate was already sending out carrier pigeons, informing the various famous schools.

This was an order from Saint Gate Sect Lord, Su Taiqing. The ‘C’ grade school tournament would end immediately.

…

Currently, at the campsite.

The members of the judging panel had heavy expressions because two days had passed, but the number of teachers and students who managed to return was very few. If too many of the participants died in this tournament, they would surely be marked down.

They wouldn’t be able to escape being demoted at the very least.

“This can’t be blamed on us. Who could have expected such a situation to occur?”

“Is there not a single group who managed to return with full members?”

“What about Sun Mo? Isn’t he a genius? Please come back with full members and save us all!”

Everyone was pondering about how they should avoid taking the responsibility for this blunder.

“The school group from the Central Province Academy has returned.”

Someone shouted.

When the members of the judging panels heard this, they immediately rushed out.

“One, two, good, good!”

They counted the number of people. Seeing so many students return, they immediately grew happy. As long as a single group managed to return safely, they could use this as an excuse and say that they shouldn’t be responsible. It was the fault of those great teachers as they didn’t protect their students well.

Otherwise, who could explain why all the students in the Central Province Academy’s group were safe?

“Where’s Teacher Sun?”

A judge hurriedly came over to welcome them, preparing to act friendly and forge a good relationship with Sun Mo privately.

“Teacher Sun hasn’t returned yet.”

Mei Ziyu then spoke to the students, “You guys should go and rest first!”

“Ah?”

All the great teachers were stunned.

“He died?”

After the judge finished speaking, over ten pairs of fierce-looking eyes glared at him. The momentum was real as though if he said another word, he would immediately be flayed.

The news that Sun Mo might have died circulated around the encampment. Some people felt regret at how the great teacher world had lost a super genius. As for some others, they felt happy and excited.

For example, Jiang Zhitong. He wanted nothing more than for Sun Mo to kick the bucket a long time ago.

However, it was a pity that the next morning, Sun Mo and his group returned to the campsite. Other than being slightly haggard, they weren’t too heavily injured.

“Teacher!”

The students, who had been waiting here, immediately rushed over to welcome him with tearful eyes.

“Headmaster An, congratulations. Your noble school will definitely rise to the ‘B’ grade this year.”

Everyone sent their congratulations.

Just based on the fact that so many of them had returned safely, they were qualified to be in the top three of this batch.

One must know that the death of every great teacher and student would result in a points deduction.

“Sun Mo, you can return to Jinling first!”

An Xinhui urged. For the next matter, she had discussed it in detail with Sun Mo and knew what to do.

“Ah? Teacher Sun? Please wait!”

Liang Hongda rushed over the moment he received the news. Hence, when he heard this, he hurriedly stopped them. Sun Mo was a rising superstar. If he left now, the prestige of the award ceremony later on would surely dip.

“With Headmaster An here, me staying behind would only be superfluous!”

Sun Mo rejected.

“That can’t be done!”

Liang Hongda did his best to make Sun Mo stay. He still wanted to drink a few more cups of wine with Sun Mo.

Sun Mo had no choice but to stay behind.

Under the care of Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo, Sun Mo first took a bath and changed into a clean robe before he lay on his bed.

Ding!

“Congratulations on completing the mission – killing the gu-bug in your body within a year, unraveling the method used by Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves. Reward: 1x great teacher halo.”

The system’s voice caused Sun Mo’s sleepiness to fade away. He immediately sat up straight.

A golden chest appeared before his eyes.

“It would be awesome if I could open a Retentive Memory.”

With this halo, he would be able to laze around and no longer needed to work hard to memorize stuff.

Ding!

“Congratulations on leading your personal students and completing the tempering exercise in the Greenhaze Forest, with zero casualties and a huge harvest. You are hereby awarded 3 mysterious treasure chests.”

Ding!

“Congratulations on leading the Central Province Academy to a higher level, rising to the ‘B’ grade. Reward: 2x diamond treasure chest.”

“Eh?”

Sun Mo was puzzled. “It hasn’t been announced, right? Why are you giving me the rewards so early?”

“Because your performance was exceedingly good!” the system explained.

“Is this considered as you finally approve of me?”

Sun Mo teased.

“Mn, you are worthy of the evaluation ‘genius’!”

The system felt very gratified.

Ding!

“Congratulations on killing the Green-robed Ancestor and receiving the recognition by two major characters of the greenhaze aboriginals. You accomplished an impressive achievement. Reward: 1x mysterious gift pack.”

A golden parcel appeared.

Sun Mo’s spirits were stirred. This was the first time he had ever received such an item.

The system then fell silent. After waiting for a while and confirming that he wouldn’t be receiving other rewards, he called Lu Zhiruo over.

“Teacher, you called for me?”

The papaya girl ran over here and was panting.

“Come over and sit down!”

Sun Mo patted the bed beside him. After the papaya girl sat down, he immediately stretched out his hand to pat her head.

“Open the golden treasure chest.”

Sun Mo urged.

Golden light flashed and a skill book appeared.

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining the great teacher halo: One Heart Two Uses. Proficiency: elementary level.”

“Note: After casting this halo, it can allow you to do two things at the same time. For example, you can learn two subjects simultaneously, and while learning, they won’t disrupt each other.”
