Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 718: My Childhood Sweetheart Is So Outstanding!

Holy Pharaoh was very intelligent. Even without needing Sun Mo’s instruction, it directly fetched Huo Lanying’s sword over.

“…”

Sun Mo was speechless. (Are you really a divine protector?)

(That was a boast, right?)

(From your lackey-like appearance, you seem to be more like a head eunuch that’s responsible for the palace’s administration, the type where you flatter and fawn on the emperor for over twenty years at the very least.)

“Master, don’t look at me with such a gaze. I would feel proud.”

Holy Pharaoh giggled.

“Scram!”

Sun Mo angrily cursed and started to admire the longsword.

Honestly speaking, he knew nothing about swords. Other than the fact it was beautiful and sharp, he couldn’t see any other special characteristics.

“Although it is at the peerless grade, it’s merely a spirit-ranked weapon and isn’t worthy of your talent. Why don’t you use it as a gift for others?”

A cultured and refined voice suddenly drifted over, causing Holy Pharaoh to be badly shocked. It directly bared its teeth and revealed a malevolent expression.

“Who?”

Holy Pharaoh roared.

A middle-aged man pushed the door open and walked in.

He was clad in a black-colored long robe with a pinkish tint at the bottom area. Behind his robes, a star atlas could be seen. If one looked carefully, one could also see a jade ring on his right index finger.

The ring’s design was simple and heavy. One could tell that it had many years of history with a single glance. Also, there was the word ‘Daybreak’ carved into the surface of the ring.

“We have not met for several days, but Starlord’s graceful bearing is as strong as the past!”

Sun Mo spoke.

The person who came was none other than the Daybreak Starlord.

“I trust you have been well since we last met!”

Daybreak Starlord nodded. He chewed on the barley straw and drank a mouthful of soy milk.

As expected, not putting any sugar made this drink truly unpleasant to drink.

“Eh!”

When Holy Pharaoh heard Sun Mo’s words, it suddenly didn’t know what to do. That Huo Lanying was merely a star general, but it took so much effort to kill him. In that case, wouldn’t the bosses of star generals be overwhelmingly more powerful?

(I can’t afford to antagonize him! I can’t afford to antagonize him!)

“Huo Lanying’s sword is ordinary, but the cultivation art he trained in is extremely good. It’s the Heavenly Sword Art and is the famed cultivation art of Old Su. It’s a pity, you are unable to learn it.”

The Daybreak Starlord shook his head.

“Old Su? Is that the surname of the Corona Starlord?”

Sun Mo was curious.

This was because all the Starlords were extremely mysterious. Even Huo Lanying didn’t know his boss’s name. This was why after the scarab devoured his brain matter, it had no way to obtain this information.

Naturally, as for this ‘Soy Milk’ Starlord’s words, Sun Mo merely smiled at them.

(It’s a pity I can’t learn the Heavenly Sword Art?)

(Sorry, I’ve already learned it and it’s the complete version. Do you believe that as long as I spam time emblems, I will be able to raise my proficiency level to half-step grandmaster?)

(Sigh forget it, as humans, we must keep a low profile.)

(Speaking of which, my Immemorial Vairocana is truly impressive.)

(The Grand Universe Formless Divine Art merely has the copy function, but Immemorial Vairocana can allow me to directly learn a cultivation art.)

“Hehe!”

The Daybreak Starlord laughed and didn’t reply. Rather, he glanced toward the exterior of the walls and spoke, “Since Headmaster An is here, why don’t you come in?”

An Xinhui walked in. She knew that she wouldn’t have any chances to sneak attack such a major character. Hence, she didn’t feel any regret.

“Headmaster An is expected of a leading character among the younger generations. Killing star generals is like chopping up a melon or vegetables to you.”

The Daybreak Starlord praised.

“Starlord praises me too much.”

An Xinhui’s countenance was somewhat pale. She was also injured and covered in bloody wounds. Her victory wasn’t as easily achieved as what the Daybreak Starlord had said.

“Are you here to bring these things away?”

Sun Mo looked at the information. What a pity, these could allow the Central Province Academy’s medical study, alchemy, and herbology to rapidly improve by ten years.

“Nope. Teacher Sun is mistaken. I’m here to recruit you.”

The Daybreak Starlord sighed. “I originally thought that your Central Province Academy would be finished for sure this time around. I didn’t expect that you actually resolved this matter so quickly. You have truly made me see you in a new light.”

The Daybreak Starlord knew Huo Lanying was in cahoots with Li Zixing. He also knew that Li Zixing was unhappy with the Central Province Academy and planned to finish the school off. Hence, he decided to save Sun Mo when Sun Mo was in danger, making the latter feel a favorable impression of him. But who would have known that Huo Lanying was so useless?

After hearing this, An Xinhui was somewhat surprised and shocked.

One of the seven great Starlords of Dark Dawn actually wanted to recruit Sun Mo?

(Did I hear wrongly?)

(My childhood sweetheart is already so outstanding to such an extent?)

One must know that every Starlord was at least an 8-star great teacher. In the Nine Provinces, such a rank could make them the headmaster of an ‘A’ grade school.

Sun Mo frowned, not understanding the Daybreak Starlord’s thoughts.

“The two of you, farewell!”

The Daybreak Starlord clasped his hands. “Teacher Sun, I still mean what I said back then. Whenever you feel that the great teacher world has lost its meaning, come and look for me. My door will always be open for you.”

“Also, we will meet again during the 3-star great teacher examination!”

After saying this, the Daybreak Starlord vanished into the night with a gust of wind.

“Little Momo, how are your injuries?”

After An Xinhui could no longer sense the Daybreak Starlord’s presence, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and ran toward Sun Mo to inspect his injuries.

“I can still endure them.”

Sun Mo took out a lover protection potion and passed it to An Xinhui. “Quickly use it.”

“It’s fine!”

An Xinhui shook her head. She saw the scene of Sun Mo using this medicine earlier. There was no way she could accept herself acting in such a way with a girl.

“The battle spoils we obtained this time around are all here. Other than information, there’s also this item, a Starflash Pearl.”

Sun Mo took off the ring and passed it to An Xinhui.

“What a beautiful ring.”

An Xinhui marveled. It really looked like a star that fell into the world. However, after she heard Sun Mo’s introduction of its abilities, she felt even more shocked.

This was definitely a top-rated secret treasure for the preservation of one’s life.

“Take it!”

An Xinhui smiled. “Huo Lanying was killed by you, so his items naturally belonged to you.”

Truthfully speaking, it was because An Xinhui was worried that Sun Mo was too weak. With this ring, his chance of survival would be greatly increased.

However, if she spoke the truth, she was afraid she might injure Sun Mo’s ego.

Sun Mo wasn’t polite as well and wore the ring back on his finger.

“Hehe, we struck it rich.”

An Xinhui happily rushed toward the information. These records of knowledge were the most valuable battle spoils in her heart.

The commotion of the battle was extremely great, and this would surely attract the authorities over. They didn’t dare to stay long. After resting and reorganizing for a while, they left the area.

They naturally took all the battle spoils. Why should they split it with Li Xiu?

…

An Xinhui was as though she had received a supreme treasure. She was completely immersed when she read through the information.

Sun Mo also had no mood to chat idly.

Ding!

“Congratulations on killing Huo Lanying and completing a self-challenge, improving to the next level in combat. Reward: 1x mysterious treasure chest!”

Ding!

“Congratulations on killing an evil person, upholding justice and cleansing the sullied name of great teachers. Reward: 1x golden treasure chest!”

After returning to the school, Sun Mo grew impatient.

“Sister Xinhui, you can handle the other matters. I’m going to sleep first.”

Sun Mo then returned to the villa and immediately stepped through the teleportation gate, going to the Wind King Divine Hall.

“Teacher!”

After seeing Sun Mo’s entire body being covered in blood, Lu Zhiruo jumped in fright and hurried over to support him.

“I’m fine!”

Sun Mo smiled and rubbed the papaya girl’s head.

“System, open a chest. Start with the golden ones!”

A golden light flashed and a skill book remained behind.

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining a catalog of 100 types of commonly used spirit runes. Proficiency level: expert.”

Sun Mo swiftly glanced through it and discovered that these spirit runes were too common. There were a few high-level ones, but the vast majority were common runes like the spirit gathering rune.

Given Sun Mo’s standard in the study of spirit runes, he would become an expert in drawing all these runes after practicing for a few months. Hence, this skill book couldn’t be said to be valuable, but it could save a year of Sun Mo’s time.

“Not bad.”

Sun Mo was quite satisfied. “Continue!”

This time around, an alchemy pill appeared.

A dense medical qi was emitted from the alchemy pill. The qi kept transforming into various pictures.

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining 1x Thousand Soul Pill. No matter how heavy your injuries are, as long as you consume it, you will be able to retain your life, and a portion of your injuries will also be healed, allowing you to have some combat strength.”

(This was good stuff!)

After the life-and-death battle today, Sun Mo discovered that the number of alchemy pills in his storage was truly too little. Even for a gamer, they knew that their inventory had to be filled with all types of potions when they headed out to a dungeon or to a PK.

What?

Drinking potions during PK was a shameless behavior?

Sorry, but in the Nine Provinces, those who died wouldn’t be able to complain.

“I’ll find a day to ask Mei Yazhi to see if she has any top-rated injury recovery pills.”

Sun Mo didn’t forget that he also had an alchemist that was near the ancestor level in his faction.

“Continue, don’t stop!”

Sun Mo urged.

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining the 9th part of the Undying Mystic Art!”

Very good, opening this was like opening nothing.

For the last mysterious treasure chest, Sun Mo still possessed huge hopes. After all, this was a top-rated treasure chest that could open very good items.

Hence, Sun Mo piously touched the papaya girl’s head.

After the flowing colored light vanished, a skill book remained behind.

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining [Mysteries of Poison], lower part. Proficiency level: expert.”

Sun Mo was helpless. (Can’t you give me something practical?)

He completely had no interest to research a thing like poison.

“Pay attention to your body, don’t make yourself too tired!”

After he instructed the papaya girl, Sun Mo returned to the villa to sleep. After such a long fight, he was also badly tired.

…

Jinling, Prince Manor.

Li Zixing, who had just exited his concubine’s room, was cursing out loud. Was the effect of the longevity potion reducing?

He couldn’t even sustain his performance for 30 minutes, what a disappointment!

He decided to ask Huo Lanying tomorrow on whether the latter was trying to make a fool out of him.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, Li Zixing didn’t go to sleep. He sat in his study and was planning on how to get rid of the Central Province Academy. After all, he hated this school and it was like a thorn in his flesh.

At this moment, Butler Li ran in with a face full of anxiousness.

“P…prince, things are not looking good.”

The old butler panted as he knelt with a thud. “The v…villa got demolished by Li Xiu.”

“You are such an old dog…”

Li Zixing hated subordinates who didn’t know the rules the most. Just when he wanted to scold the butler, he suddenly stood up in shock when he realized what the butler said.

“Which villa?”

“The one in the eastern outskirts!”

After the old butler spoke, an ink slab smashed into his head, causing his head to bleed.

“That damnable Li Xiu. I cannot co-exist with you!”

Li Zixing panicked. Using medicine-humans wasn’t a problem. However, his source of medicine-humans came from the students of the Myriad Daos Academy. This was a huge problem.

If Li Xiu didn’t use this opportunity to make sure he lost his standing with his reputation swept away, Li Zixing wouldn’t believe it.

“No, I have to retaliate immediately!”

Li Zixing knew he had to act now to exterminate Li Xiu. Otherwise, he would be the one being beheaded.

Right, since he had to do this, let’s do a big one then. He will destroy the Central Province Academy along with Li Xiu.
