Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 305 Explosive Increase in Fame

For cultivation arts, the difference of a single tier would result in a great disparity in the overall might.

The Coiling Dragon Spear Art was a peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. It was pretty good, but let alone comparing it to the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, it was inferior even when compared to the non-combat-focused Immemorial Vairocana.

However, this didn’t mean that this cultivation art wasn’t worth learning.

There was a type of cultivator, like Xuanyuan Po, who needed to concentrate and just train in a single spear art. If they cultivated too many cultivation arts, it would disrupt their instincts.

When they fought against their enemies, they didn’t care what cultivation arts their enemies were using. They would simply use their cultivation art and overwhelm everything with brute force.

There was another type of cultivator like Li Ziqi. Although the little sunny egg’s combat strength was weak, she could learn things very fast and deduce many things from one thing.

When fighting enemies, they could immediately choose the most suitable move out of the cultivation arts they had learned to counter and break the opponent’s move.

Sun Mo belonged to the latter type. Although he managed to pick up the sandalwood blade and had been using it, both the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art and Immemorial Vairocana could be utilized with any sort of weapons.

Even if he was to fight bare-handed, Sun Mo wouldn’t be lacking.

He was proficient in the various types of cultivation arts and he would then break them down and analyze them. Moreover, it was also a requirement for teachers to have broader knowledge and experiences. When the book that recorded the Coiling Dragon Spear Art turned into motes of light and shot into Sun Mo’s mind, he had a general understanding of this cultivation art.

Ding!

“Congratulations on learning the Coiling Dragon Spear Art. Proficiency level: Elementary-grade!”

“So that move is named ‘Hundred Dragons Birth’. This is a name with a creative concept. As for that Coiling Dragon Swallows The Sky, it sounds a little tacky but the destruction prowess is still passable.”

After Sun Mo’s research, he discovered that this was a cultivation art that emphasized on strength. As long as one complemented it with a movement art like the Wind King Divine Steps, they would be able to maximize the might it unleashed. Yes, there were some cultivators whose weakness was their agility. But there was no need to feel discouraged as they could learn top-tier cultivation arts to make up for the deficiency.

“System, what is my weakness?”

Sun Mo wasn’t able to see his own data. Hence, he found it difficult to gauge himself.

“No weaknesses!” The system replied. “Really?”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Naturally, it’s false!”

The system’s tone of voice was filled with a ‘Ha! I fooled you!’ feeling.

“Che!”

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was in public, Sun Mo would have sprouted vulgarities.

Ma Sui was lifted away by the doctor and sent to the infirmary for better treatment. Sun Mo also left after that.

The students left in groups of twos and threes while discussing the battle excitedly. The looks on their faces made it seem as though they had not watched enough yet.

Some students had rushed over late and noticed only tens of people remaining here.

“Eh? I thought someone said that Teacher Sun and Teacher Ma were going to duel? Where are they?”

“Quick, let’s get good seats before the other students come. We should take the front seats, they provide good vision and we will be able to see more clearly!” “Why are you in such a hurry? There are only a few people here.”

“What the hell do you know? Teacher Sun is extremely famous, many people will come to watch the duel later!”

Some of these students stood at the entrance and peered in. Some directly walked to the spectator stands, wanting to get a good seat.

“Stop arguing, the fight is already over!”

A short-haired male student who watched the duel earlier suddenly spoke.

“Finished?”

The students had dumbfounded looks on their faces.

“I thought they had a duel after class? How long has it only been since then?”

(The bell signaling the second class just rang. With the ten minutes interval between the two classes, you are telling me that Sun Mo defeated a powerful senior in that time span?) The students who had just come had a look ‘you are pranking us, right?’ on their faces as they stared at the short-haired male student.

“Teacher Sun used about five minutes to finish the battle!”

The short-haired student rejoiced a little in their misfortune. “Let me tell you guys, the battle was extremely fascinating. You guys made a big loss by not spectating it!”

“Five minutes?”

These students suddenly grew enlightened. Subtracting the time they took to rush here from the teaching building, if the battle ended so quickly, it truly only took a few minutes to decide the victor.

Ding!

Congratulations, you have obtained a total of 261 favorable impression points.

On the way to the canteen, Sun Mo kept receiving favorable impression points in waves. Sun Mo thought about it and soon guessed that the ones contributing should be the students who rushed over later and learned of the news of his victory.

Sun Mo was no longer a nameless individual. His fame was extremely great. Besides, every victory of his caused the students to further approve of him and respect him.

Fame was ultimately dependent on consecutive victories, something that was slowly accumulated. Let alone the students, even the teachers of the Central Province Academy wouldn’t dare to show any contempt to Sun Mo now.

Some even took the initiative to greet him.

During these days, Zhang Hanfu was almost angered to death when he walked around the campus and heard the students and teachers discussing how Sun Mo would lead the new students group to achieve great results in the league tournament, aiding the Central Province Academy to rise to the ‘C’ grade.

“Did you hear the news yet? Sun Mo defeated Ma Sui!”

“Was Sun Mo injured? Would the name list of teachers participating be changed?”

Some teachers held hope. They initially weren’t qualified to lead the group. But if Sun Mo and Ma Sui were both injured, wouldn’t they be like the fishermen who reaped the benefits in the end when the fish fought?

“Stop dreaming. Sun Mo won a clean victory and is completely uninjured. As for you, you should stay in school and continue to cheer ‘666’* for them!”

“It can’t be, right? If I didn’t remember it wrongly, Ma Sui is at the fifth level of the blood-ignition realm. Yet, he was defeated by Sun Mo so quickly?”. “He is at the sixth level!”

The teachers talking were teachers who joined last year. Hence, they all met the qualifications to represent the school. Sadly, they couldn’t win against Ma Sui last year. And now, they were even more inferior to Sun Mo.

Upon mentioning this, their tone contained envy, as well as disappointment. The emotions they felt eventually turned to helplessness because they knew that even if they worked hard, they wouldn’t be able to catch up to Sun Mo.

There was no solution to this. Geniuses would always make others feel despair. Zhang Hanfu became unhappy. He immediately walked over, deciding to find a reason to lecture them. “It’s Zhang Hanfu!” “Let’s greet him!”

“Greet your fart, let’s go!”

When the few teachers here saw Zhang Hanfu, they immediately hastened their speed and left.

Zhang Hanfu’s countenance became ashen. These fellows had called him by his full name when they were conversing in private. How preposterous!

However, what made him even angrier was that they didn’t even bother to greet him. Such a thing would have definitely not happened before.

All of this began to change after Sun Mo came.

Now, all the teachers in the school knew that Sun Mo and Zhang Hanfu belonged to two different factions. One had to scram in the end for sure. If it was before, no one would place Sun Mo in their eyes. After all, An Xinhui who was his backer hadn’t been able to deal with Zhang Hanfu, let alone him.

But who would have expected that Sun Mo didn’t need to depend on An Xinhui at all? He himself was strong enough to be a backer. With God Hands and strong capabilities, his foundation was solid. And now, after defeating Ma Sui in a battle, he displayed a terrifying combat strength as well.

Moreover, Sun Mo was only 20. For such a teacher, if there were no unexpected incidents, his future star-rank would surely be higher than Zhang Hanfu.

Even an idiot knew which potential stock to invest in!

Even in terms of supervision, Sun Mo did his job extremely well as the department head of the logistics department. He had resolved the financial crisis of the school and settled the unscrupulous middlemen.

Before this, everyone had felt that Sun Mo wasn’t worthy of An Xinhui and there was an 80-90% chance that he would be dumped. But now, Sun Mo’s performance was extremely dazzling. Once the two of them got married, Sun Mo would be considered half-an-owner of the school.

As for you, Zhang Hanfu, just scram as far as you can!

Everyone were adults, who wouldn’t consider their futures?

Damn!

Damn!

Zhang Hanfu was so angered that he punched the holly in the flowerbed. It was all Sun Mo’s fault. His days were growing increasingly unbearable recently, nothing was going his way.

(Also, Zhang Qianlin, what the hell are you doing?)

Zhang Hanfu had wanted to let his son join the representative group to accumulate experience. However, his son hadn’t returned from the Darkness Continent yet.

The other teachers who had gone to hunt the mysterious species of darkness under the lead of Pei Yuanli had already returned. Only Zhang Qianlin and Yi Jiamin weren’t back yet.

“Could it be you two died on the Darkness Continent?”

After Zhang Hanfu spoke, he hurriedly slapped himself. How unlucky, he shouldn’t be muttering such inauspicious things.

However, he grew increasingly anxious in his heart. During these few days, his hair kept falling in large patches. He was truly just one step away from being bald.

…

In the valley, Sun Mo was drawing spirit gathering runes on a potted plant when he suddenly heard a knock.

After he opened the door, he discovered it was Gu Xiuxun.

“You’ve returned?”

Sun Mo smiled, he then led Gu Xiuxun into the living room. “How’s your harvest?”

“Don’t mention it, we chased it for several days but didn’t even get anything!”

When this was mentioned, Gu Xiuxun felt anger filling her belly.

“Hehe!”

Sun Mo poured a cup of tea and passed it to Gu Xiuxun while mentally musing ‘Little Silver has already signed a contract with me and is my ally. It would be truly strange if you all managed to even see its shadow!’

“It seems that you are recently in the limelight!”

Gu Xiuxun sat on the chair and surveyed the surroundings. “This villa isn’t bad. It’s my dream to have a residence like this.”

Gu Xiuxun’s clan wasn’t rich and she had had to stay in other people’s residences when she was younger. It could be considered as living while relying on charity. She had only moved out after she obtained a scholarship.

“From tomorrow onward, I will be a happy man”

“Feeding the horses, cleaving firewood, roaming the world.”

“From tomorrow onward, I will care for the grains and vegetables.”

“I have a house facing the sea, it is warm and covered in blooming flowers!”*

Sun Mo smiled. He could still remember that not too long ago, his dream was also to have his own house. There was no need for the house to be large, but it had to be warm and comfortable. The sofa and bed didn’t need to be expensive, but they had to be clean. Only

Gu Xiuxun’s eyes brightened. The sentences weren’t bad and had a certain lyrical charm to them. Mn, Sun Mo was indeed a cultured man. Ding! Favorable impression from Gu Xiuxun +30. Friendly (610/1,000).

Sun Mo cast a glance at the masochist. (You would even contribute favorable impression points for a matter like this? Could it be that you are still a young lady? In that case, if I recite ‘Stray Birds’ by ‘Rabindranath Tagore’, wouldn’t you directly remove your clothes and offer yourself to me?) The two of them didn’t manage to chat much and another visitor arrived.

“Uncle Zheng? Why are you here?”

Sun Mo was surprised. “Please enter!”

“I heard that you guys are setting out the day after tomorrow to participate in the league tournament, hence, I come to visit you!” Zheng Qingfang entered the villa. Two girls followed behind him, and they looked to be about 16 years of age. They were fresh, pure, and beautiful with slender figures.

In Jiangnan, slender figures were popular. On the other hand, women with large breasts and buttocks weren’t that popular.
