Absolute Great Teacher

“What?”

Wanyan Zhenghe was taken by surprise. (Why did I not notice that someone had appeared behind me?) He darted forward instinctively then turned to look back.

Bang!

Wanyan Zhenghe’s knees knocked into the table, bringing him so much pain that he clenched his teeth. However, his painful expression froze up the moment it was revealed.

“Sun Mo?”

Why was he here?

Teleportation?

“This is a spirit rune class. Why are you showing off your cultivation art?”

Wanyan Zhenghe was given a scare and shouted out angrily.

In his opinion, it was impossible to achieve this with spirit runes. It could only be done by cultivation arts.

As the little prince spoke, other people turned to look over, seeming baffled. (Why are you acting all crazy?)

“Teacher, what effect does this spirit rune have?”

The guy with the braided hairstyle asked urgently. However, he was looking in the direction of the rostrum.

This scene caused the heart of Wanyan Zhenghe, who was about to sneer at Sun Mo, to shake. He took a quick look around and realized that all the students’ gazes were fixed at the rostrum. He then turned and looked over as well, then his gaze froze.

There was another Sun Mo behind the rostrum.

His smile was so warm and his gaze was so spirited. Even though he wasn’t good-looking, he had an exceptionally attractive charm.

“He teleported again?”

Wanyan Zhenghe frowned, but when he turned his head again, he realized that there was another Sun Mo behind him. Moreover, other people seemed to be unable to see him.

“Don’t you find it too overboard to be testing me with a spirit rune when you don’t even know of its effect?”

As Sun Mo said this, he clapped his hands softly.

Pa pa!

This sound released the illusionary realm encompassed around him and surprised gasps rang out. It was because two Sun Mos had appeared in the lecture theater at the same time.

“The effect of this spirit rune is to create an illusionary realm.”

Sun Mo’s gaze swept out at the students in the entire lecture theater. “I dare say that over 90% of the teachers in the Dragon Subduing Academy who research the study of spirit runes are unable to decrypt this.”

Hua!

A commotion broke out. It was because Sun Mo’s words were too arrogant, but very soon, they shut up and sank into deep thought.

They were all geniuses with extraordinary aptitude. They could tell if a teacher was strong or not. In the past, someone had seen Wanyan Zhenghe using the same method to make a fool of the teachers who came from the Central Plains.

However, this Sun Mo had managed to decrypt this spirit rune in just five minutes.

Wait a minute, he hadn’t just decrypted it. He had even drawn it on the blackboard and succeeded in activating it on the first attempt.

Hold on again. Drawing it on the blackboard?

When many people realized this, even greater astonishment reflected on their faces.

“This… this… is already beyond miraculous.”

The guy with a braided hairstyle subconsciously blurted out.

There was no way that Wanyan Zhenghe would set this up to help build Sun Mo’s reputation. On the contrary, Wanyan Zhenghe wanted to destroy Sun Mo completely. This made Sun Mo appear even cooler to have done what he just did.

“Your… your words are going to offend many people!”

Wanyan Zhenghe’s few lackeys were also astonished, but their tone sounded a lot weaker when they spoke this time.

“We as great teachers oblige by the idea of there definitely being someone who can be our teacher in a group of three. When we encounter amazing great teachers, we will humbly seek guidance. As for it sounding offensive? I think that the Dragon Subduing Academy’s great teachers won’t be so narrow-minded.”

Sun Mo retorted with sharp words.

His words had killed two birds with one stone. Firstly, it proved his talent in the study of spirit runes. The more astonishing one’s words, the faster they’d be disseminated and thus attract more students to watch.

Sun Mo had the confidence that as long as they stepped into this lecture theater, they’d be attracted by his lesson and wouldn’t be able to leave thereafter.

Secondly, he was also flattering those great teachers. (I’ve mentioned that it’s a group of three but you’re still looking for trouble. This will mean that you’re really narrow-minded.)

Of course, if there were petty great teachers who came to confront him, then Sun Mo wouldn’t mind giving them a sandwich called a failure.

(I’m near the ancestor level in the study of spirit runes. Why would I be scared?)

“This spirit rune is extremely valuable. What are you planning to do now that I’ve learned it?”

Sun Mo smiled and asked.

“…”

Wanyan Zhenghe was a little prince after all, and he was the one who had posed this question. If he were to ask for compensation, it’d make him appear very petty.

“Quick-witted!”

There were great teachers amongst the crowd who understood Sun Mo’s intention.

Since Wanyan Zhenghe could bring out this small stone slab, then he must have more that were more profound and harder to decrypt. If they were used to test Sun Mo, there was a high chance that Sun Mo could feel confounded. However, there would also be the risk that Sun Mo would manage to learn them.

After seeing the illusionary realm that this spirit rune formed, even if Wanyan Zhenghe was willing, the person behind him wouldn’t be willing to make a move again.

The more unique a spirit rune, the more expensive they were. No one would be willing to share them easily.

Buzz!

A long horn signal rang out.

“Class is over? Why is it so fast?”

“Teacher, what time is your class tomorrow?”

“Teacher, can you talk about this spirit rune?”

The students hadn’t had enough and showed no intention to leave.

“This class will end here today. Those who want to listen can come earlier tomorrow. Oh right, I’ll be drawing my original creation in tomorrow’s class. It’s one that hasn’t appeared in the entire spirit rune world.”

Sun Mo threw out a bait.

“Huh? What is it? Teacher, can you please tell us?”

The students who majored in spirit runes couldn’t hold it in anymore. All of them looked at Sun Mo like small Pekingeses [1] waiting to be fed.

Sun Mo smiled and walked down. “I still have a botany class at 3 today. Remember to come.”

When Sun Mo walked out of the lecture theater, he realized that many people had gathered along the corridors. However, there was no need for him to fret about how he was going to make his way through them since the crowd automatically moved to both sides to make way for him as he walked.

Although the students didn’t bow nor clap, there was a hint of respect when they looked at Sun Mo.

This was why they said that a great teacher’s pride was to be upheld by talent.

Sun Mo’s first class was a great success.

…

A person wanted to become famous at the fastest time possible?

What should they do?

Of course it was to create rumors with another famous person or to defeat another famous person. This was what they called stepping on others to rise.

Wanyan Zhenghe was known to be a school bully in the entire Dragon Subduing Academy. However, he was put into place by an intern teacher who came from the Central Plains. Therefore, Sun Mo’s great name became frequently brought up by the students.

Many students wanted to hear about how Wanyan Zhenghe had been humiliated. It was because this would make them feel happy. However, after hearing the story, they were astonished.

Six unique Spirit-Gathering Runes, speed drawing within three minutes without any mistakes, all of them being peak-grade… The most exciting thing was that he had decrypted a mysterious stone slab within five minutes and drawn it on the wall, forming an illusionary realm…

To think that Sun Mo had done all of these exciting things in the duration of one class.

Many students felt regretful that they hadn’t gone to watch. Students who majored in the study of spirit runes felt even more regretful that they had missed out on a chance for an eye-opening experience.

…

Wanyan Zhenghe’s countenance was gloomy as he pushed open the door to a lab.

“Mei`er, do you have other mysterious spirit runes that other people can’t decrypt?”

Wanyan Zhenghe asked.

A young lady with a tall stature was standing in front of the wall, focusing on the mysterious drawing that was hung up on the wall.

This lab had been drawn all over with strange diagrams with different colors. Even the floor and windows were no exceptions. Therefore, a colorful scene was presented.

To be honest, an ordinary person would find it very hard to get used to this place.

It was because of visual pollution.

Wanyan Zhenghe closed his eyes, rubbing his forehead, then repeated his question.

“Why? Has the other party figured out that spirit rune?”

Wanyan Mei was surprised. If that wasn’t the case, her elder brother wouldn’t be asking her for a new one.

“It’s an illusionary realm spirit rune?”

Wanyan Zhenghe felt curious.

“That’s right.”

Wanyan Mei felt a little curious. “What is that teacher’s name?”

“Sun Mo!”

After saying that, Wanyan Zhenghe gave it some thought before adding, “His look is ordinarily ugly and isn’t worth mentioning.”

“I’m not interested in guys’ looks.”

Wanyan Mei’s red lips twitched. It looked as if intense flames were burning on them, giving her the fatal charm.

Although this young lady wasn’t of age yet, she already had astonishing charm. She was top-notch both in terms of her figure and looks.

She stood there like a handsome steed that could travel long distances, making any man crave for her and wanting to get their hands on her.

“It’s really an illusionary realm!”

Wanyan Zhenghe was stunned. “If you know that, why didn’t you tell me?”

Wanyan Mei continued to observe the diagram she was looking at.

Wanyan Zhenghe’s face turned dark. He knew that his younger sister couldn’t be bothered to speak much to people who didn’t know about the study of spirit runes.

It was because it’d be a waste of time.

“Do you have more amazing spirit runes? Lend them to me. I want to get that guy to scram out of the Dragon Subduing Academy!”

Wanyan Zhenghe spat out saliva. “I won’t let anyone who has offended me get it easy.”

“90% of the spirit rune teachers in our school aren’t able to figure out that stone slab. Won’t you just be asking to be snubbed if you continue to look for his trouble?”

Wanyan Mei looked toward her brother. “I’ll say it outright. That guy is at least a grandmaster-level spirit runist.”

“He’s so amazing?”

Wanyan Zhenghe believed in his sister’s judgment, therefore, he felt completely astonished. To think that that intern teacher was so strong?

“Don’t be looking for trouble anymore. If someone like him is willing to teach students, then suck all of his knowledge dry to be left behind on the great plains.”

Wanyan Mei smiled coldly. “That is the best revenge.”

“Alright then. I’ll be leaving.”

Wanyan Zhenghe knew of his sister’s character well. Since she said that she wouldn’t give something, she’d definitely not do it. It seemed like he had to think of other ways.

Just as Wanyan Zhenghe wanted to close the door, another line rang out from the room.

“How long did it take for him to figure out this spirit rune?”

Wanyan Mei asked casually, wanting to assess Sun Mo’s standard.

“…”

Wanyan Zhenghe found it a little hard to say. After all, it was considered a humiliation to him.

“How long?”

Wanyan Mei continued to ask.

“Five minutes!”

After Wanyan Zhenghe said that, he ran off impatiently.

In the room, Wanyan Mei’s head felt as if it had been struck by a battering ram.

Five minutes?

How was that possible?

It had taken her half a year to decrypt it. Despite this, she was still treated as a rare genius that was hard to come by in 1,000 years by the teachers. However, this teacher…

Five minutes?

Was he a great ancestor-level spirit runist?

No, if a great ancestor-level spirit runist had come, the headmaster would welcome them personally and also inform her about it.

He must have gotten his hands on a similar spirit rune and studied it before…

(Excellent! I’ll go meet him myself!)

…

Just as Wanyan Mei made this decision, Sun Mo also started to make preparations for his second class in the afternoon. This time around, there’d probably be even more people coming to make things difficult for him.
