Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1307 Dark Famous School, Constellation Academy!

“Save someone?” Sun Mo’s lips twitched as he looked at Li Luoran who came to beg him for help. “Why should I?”

Sun Mo didn’t really mind saving the guy. He just was displeased at their rude and unreasonable attitude from before. If he was slightly weaker, he’d have been killed.

Hearing this, Li Luoran recalled Sun Mo’s powerful sword arts and became anxious. A strong expert like this was definitely not lacking in treasures, and she didn’t have anything on her that could potentially move him.

But for Brother Hua’s life, she must give it a try!

Rip!

Li Luoran pried the collar of her clothing.

“Hmm?”

Sun Mo was stunned. (You can’t be thinking of using your body as compensation, right?) (Even if you’re willing to do that, as a great teacher, I won’t feel good about accepting it. However, your skin is really tanned. You’re clearly often exposed to the weather elements and have to do hard labor.)

Li Luoran tugged off the pendant she was wearing and said, “This is a treasure my father found in a darkness ruin, and it can help to dispel snakes, bugs, and ants. It’s very useful when traveling in the wild.”

“Luoran, don’t do it! That’s a keepsake left behind by your deceased father!” shouted Zhang Xiang.

He had been hiding behind a rock not far away. But hearing this, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and darted out to stop her.

Li Luoran stroked the pendant, clearly feeling sad to have to part with it. But she soon made up her mind and tossed it hard toward Sun Mo.

“Things don’t have a life, but Brother Hua does!” Li Luoran insisted, “It’s worth it to exchange it for Brother Hua’s life!”

Pa!

Sun Mo caught the pendant and looked at Li Luoran in amusement. “Did I say I’d agree to your request?” “Uhh!”

Hearing this, Li Luoran felt frustrated.

“Let me tell you one more thing. The greatest effect of this pendant is its spell to fend off soul-related problems and such. It has the miraculous effect of calming the mind. You haven’t had any nightmares ever since you had it on you, right?”

As Sun Mo’s archeology was at the grandmaster level, he was able to see the value of this pendant without using Divine Sight.

Li Luoran was stunned. It was because when she was young, each time her father left, she’d cry and make a fuss, unable to go to sleep. But after she received this gift, he didn’t have that problem anymore.

“Secret treasures like this are extremely valuable. In the Nine Provinces, many people will fight to buy them!”

Sun Mo played with the pendant and stole a glance at Li Luoran’s expression.

“You’ve been to the Nine Provinces?”

Lu Guojing had come too, and he interjected upon hearing this.

Sun Mo’s heart skipped a beat. So, these people were darkness seeds. Only natives of the Darkness Continent would ask this question.

“How much is it worth?” asked Zhang Xiang. His concern was the pendant’s value.

“Over 100,000 spirit stones!”

Zhang Xiang and Lu Guojing both gasped after Sun Mo finished speaking. Even Li Luoran was in disbelief.

(This… isn’t this too expensive?)

“Brother, please return the pendant. This item is the keepsake left behind by Luoran’s deceased father. It holds a very strong remembrance value!”

Zhang Xiang’s tone sounded weak. There was no helping it. He wanted to speak forcefully, but he didn’t have the strength to back him up.

“Zhang Xiang!”

Li Luoran glared at Zhang Xiang and said indignantly, “Brother Hua is our good friend who we grew up with. Are you going to watch him die?”

Zhang Xiang thought to himself. (If he dies, no one will compete with me for you.)

“Brother, I’ll give you the pendant. Please save Brother Hua!”

Li Luoran pleaded again. From her point of view, even if an expert like him didn’t know any medical skills for saving people, he’d definitely had some life-saving medicine on him.

However, Sun Mo shook his head and threw the pendant back.

Swoosh! Zhang Xiang and Lu Guojing darted out anxiously. The latter caught the pendant, sized it up, then carefully handed it to Li Luoran. “It’s worth 100,000 spirit stones. Keep it carefully!”

Li Luoran paid no heed to the pendant but looked at Sun Mo. “Brother, what would it take for you to be willing to save him?”

“Little sister, let me give a word of advice. Go home. You’re so innocent that you might die one day!”

Sun Mo sighed.

This girl was in her twenties and her gaze was filled with innocence. If this was in the Nine Provinces, she’d have long since been abducted and sold by human traffickers.

However, kind-hearted people deserved to be rewarded.

Sun Mo jumped off the rock. “Lead the way!” “En!”

Li Luoran went from despair to joy and hurriedly ran ahead to show Sun Mo the way.

Very soon, Sun Mo arrived at the temporary base that Li Luoran’s group had. After that, he looked at the unconscious Zheng Hua who was lying in the beast skin tent.

After Sun Mo gave him a check-up, he couldn’t help but frown.

Li Luoran’s heart skipped a beat and she stammered, “There… there’s no hope?”

“No, a lot of his bones are broken. Although he has been given simple treatment, they aren’t connected properly. Due to it, he’s having complications now and needs some medicinal herbs for treatment.”

Sun Mo looked at the three of them, feeling very surprised. “You guys can’t even handle such minor injuries, yet you dare to go out on an adventure?”

(If you guys encountered poisons, infectious diseases, or other accidents that require professional care, all of you would be wiped out!)

Their faces turned red.

Zhang Xiang was even more indignant. “He’s going to die! But you’re saying that it’s a minor injury?” “The summer bug knows not what the cold is!”

Too lazy to argue, Sun Mo just performed the ancient massaging technique to set Zheng Hua’s bones.

Next, when the genie appeared, Li Luoran and the other two looked as if they had just seen a demon. Amidst the great shock, they backed off quickly.

Zhang Xiang even fell to the ground.

“Don’t panic. This is my massage technique.”

Sun Mo consoled them.

The three of them looked like country bumpkins who were watching a p*rn video for the first time. Their world perspectives had been overturned.

It was hard to tell if the bones were reattached or not since they were in the body, but the reduction of the swelling could be seen with the naked eye.

Zheng Hua was previously swollen like a cocoon, but as the muscular genie continued to massage him, the swelling subsided. Moreover, even though he was twisting around from the pain, he was able to sleep peacefully now.

“It’s done!”

Sun Mo got up and poured some water from the bottle to wash his hands. “He’ll be alive and kicking tomorrow.”

“Hold on, didn’t you say that he’d need some medicinal herbs for treatment?”

Zhang Xiang questioned.

“That’s for ordinary physicians.”

Sun Mo explained, “After receiving treatment from my Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands, this step can be skipped.”

“What a domineering name!”

Lu Guojing flattered him, but he was clearly not used to kissing asses, and thus his expression looked a little awkward.

On the other hand, Li Luoran didn’t say anything, but her gaze that was filled with admiration when looking at Sun Mo explained everything

(Not only is he superb in sword arts, but he is so amazing in massages too! I really want to learn them!)

“Are you a teacher from the Constellation Academy?”

Zhang Xiang was curious. In his opinion, only the teachers from this school would be so amazing

“I haven’t heard of this school before!”

Sun Mo shook his head.

“Haha, is the village you’re from so secluded? You haven’t even heard of the Constellation Academy’s great name? Let me tell you, that’s the most amazing school on this land. The people inside are all intelligent people!”

Zhang Xiang boasted.

He finally found something in which he was better than Sun Mo-he knew the Constellation Academy very well.

After hearing him talking about the school, Sun Mo understood.

Most people who were exiled here gathered together to help each other survive. As time passed, they formed many villages. As the Darkness Continent was too big, most villages didn’t know of each other’s locations. Moreover, as many people were criminals, even if they knew of other villages’ locations, they wouldn’t pay a visit and attempt to communicate with them.

However, humans were still social creatures. If a tribe wished to develop production capabilities and passed down knowledge, they must have cities and civilizations.

This continued until a great teacher established the Constellation Academy and put in great effort to recruit great teachers and students. After spending several hundred years, this school finally spread its name.

This school wanted to gather the descendants of those people who were exiled and form a power together. Only then would they be able to survive in the Darkness Continent.

While Zhang Xiang was introducing the Constellation Academy, Lu Guojing was smiling beside him. However, deep down, he was secretly sizing up Sun Mo, and a look of deep worry flashed across his face.

(This person doesn’t know of this school, and there are only two possibilities for this. Firstly, it hasn’t been long since he came to the Darkness Continent. Secondly, his parents were exiled to this land and he was born here. However, as he hasn’t lived for long enough, there is still some common knowledge he doesn’t know about.)

(Hold on. Given how amazing he is, he is definitely not a second-generation darkness seed who has sparse resources. He must be a genius that can only be nurtured by a famous school in the Nine Provinces.)

(After that, he must have resorted to despicable means in order to get stronger and ended up getting exiled.)

(Otherwise, how can he be so strong despite such a young age?) (Hmm, I’m really a genius at making deductions.)

Lu Guojing was impressed by himself. Then, he started thinking about how to ‘deal with Sun

Mo.

“Do you want to go to the Constellation Academy with us to be a teacher there?” Li Luoran invited him.

“Alright!”

Sun Mo already knew that the reason this five-man team came to hunt hearts of darkness was so that they could seek employment at Constellation Academy. “I just don’t know if I can succeed given my standards.”

“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be able to pass given your massage technique!” Li Luoran consoled him but then hesitated to speak. “Haha, do you want to learn? I can teach you.”

Sun Mo looked at this innocent girl and showed her kindness.

“Huh?”

Li Luoran was elated, as if she had been hit by a biscuit that fell from heaven. “Can you do that?”

“Luoran, remember what the elders said before we came out? Don’t pick up benefits that you can easily pick up!”

Zhang Xiang couldn’t stand the way Li Luoran looked at Sun Mo. “Big Brother is not a bad person!”

Li Luoran was innocent, but she wasn’t stupid. With this young man’s strength, if he were to come at her forcefully, she wouldn’t be able to put up any resistance.

(Moreover, given how handsome he is, he probably doesn’t care for a village girl like me.)

That night, Li Luoran was very excited. After learning the Muscleforge Technique, she took the initiative to serve Sun Mo and then went to look for Zhang Xiang and Lu Guojing.

The next morning, Zhang Xiang woke up with dark circles under his eyes. He was about to go to the campsite to pee when he saw Zheng Hua cultivating. Hence, he was instantly shocked.

“This…”

Zhang Xiang rubbed his eyes forcefully. Was he kidding? Zheng Hua had suffered such a serious injury, so how could he recover without resting for 80 to 100 days?

“Haha, stinky Brother Xiang, come over and fight me for 300 rounds!”

Zheng Hua challenged him to a fight.

“You’ve really recovered?”

Zhang Xiang looked dubious.

“Teacher’s Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands is definitely the best in the world!”

Li Luoran wore an expression as if she also shared Sun Mo’s glory. Moreover, she had started to address Sun Mo as her teacher. “Oh! My quail should be done roasting by now. I’ll bring it to Teacher!”

Zhang Xiang suddenly felt very displeased.

In the following days, the new five-man team rushed quickly toward the fourth level of the Darkness Continent, which was also known as the Reverse Image Continent.

On the way there, Li Luoran served Sun Mo very well, from pouring him tea and water to helping him wash his feet. She was just short of warming up his bed and serving him at night.

Of course, she didn’t lose out either because Sun Mo had taught her without holding back. Lu Guojing and the other two also wanted to learn such an amazing massaging technique, but Sun Mo refused to take them in as his disciples.

As Zheng Hua had personally experienced the power of ancient massaging technique, he thickened his skin to learn it secretly, even if he was going to be given a beating. However, he realized that Sun Mo was a very open-minded person.

Sun Mo didn’t accept him as his disciple, but it didn’t stop him from secretly learning either. “What kind of mentality do you think he has?”

Zheng Hua could not understand.

“Teacher is an example of magnanimity!”

Li Luoran felt that Sun Mo was too noble.

Half a month later, the five-man team passed through the upward-spiraling forest path and entered the Reverse Image Continent.

“Hide the heart of darkness well. Otherwise, there’d be trouble.

Lu Guojing reminded him solemnly. Then, he saw Sun Mo taking off the heart of darkness.

Sun Mo thought of moving his right leg, but the one that moved was his left. He thought of flying, but he was rooted to the ground, not budging at all.

It was really troublesome!

Sun Mo’s lips twitched.

In this place, consciousness and actions were the opposite. Without the heart of darkness, it was simply impossible to move forward.

Since it was almost time for the great teacher examination, the five of them didn’t dare to delay any longer and hurried on with their fastest speed.

The closer they got to the Constellation Academy, the more people there were on the road.

Some of them wished to enroll as students, and the others came to seek employment.

Finally, Sun Mo saw this dark famous school in a majestic and dangerous canyon.

With the walls on both sides as support, a huge stone wall was built. Moreover, most of the construction for the buildings was also from stones, making this school gush out with a primitive vibe.

“I might be able to meet Xuanyuan Po here!”

Sun Mo looked at the thick and tall stone wall, feeling a little excited.

The combat addict had returned to the Darkness Continent years ago. Given his character of liking to challenge others, he’d only be able to get his wish here.

“Everyone, come over here to queue up. You can enter the school to take a look around after you’ve received a card.”

A middle-aged man stood at the school’s entrance. “Lunch will be provided, but please take note that you must leave the school grounds before it turns dark. Otherwise, you’ll be killed regardless!” “How many days can we visit?”

Someone asked.

“There’s no limit to the number of days!”

The middle-aged man replied. “Can we visit any of these places?”

Someone felt curious.

“That’s right. You guys can go to the library, the battle hall, and also listen to the lectures. I know that many of you have come to seek employment, but I hope that after visiting for a few days, you guys can keep an upright attitude.”

The middle-aged man’s expression was solemn. “Our teachers here aren’t like those from the Nine Provinces. We don’t need prerequisites like comprehending great teacher halos. However, you must be skilled in a particular field.”

One of Sun Mo’s questions was answered. He had been thinking previously how come newbies like Li Luoran who didn’t have a single great teacher halo would think of seeking employment as teachers here? Wouldn’t that be a joke?

So it turned out that the Constellation Academy didn’t require those. They looked at practicality.

“Lastly, even if you can’t be a teacher, you can still be a student. We don’t set a restriction on age here. As long as you have the desire to study hard, you can register!”

The middle-aged man introduced, “I hope that you guys get to find your life ideals here!”

Sun Mo followed the crowd to enter the gates and the school grounds.
