Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1170: Sun Mo’s Glory, Incomparable for A Time!

Translator: Lordbluefire

In the afternoon, on the campus…

After the melodious bell rang out, the students walked out of the teaching building. They then slowly gathered into a stream of people walking toward the canteen.

“Quickly look, someone is flying in the sky!”

It was unknown who shouted this but immediately after, the students inclined their heads and looked at the sky.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a woman clad in the Black-White Academy’s great teacher robe was flying in the sky. She truly exuded the feeling of an immortal flying around happily.

Countless people were dumbfounded.

“It’s Teacher Bai Fu!”

Someone with good vision recognized her.

Boom!

The students didn’t even want to eat anymore. They were like kids watching a kite, running here and there, wanting to find out more.

“Did Teacher Bai comprehend Meteoric Rise?”

Someone guessed.

“That shouldn’t be the case. That halo is very rare!”

“Is there still a need to think? Teacher Sun must have tattooed a Skyward Spirit Rune on her for the sake of recruiting her!”

The students were discussing.

From the past until now, there wasn’t a single cultivation art that could allow one to fly. However, there were two great teacher halos that could do so.

The first was Meteoric Rise and the second was Lotus Step.

The former one was an extremely rare halo. Not only must the users have a grand imagination that was not bound by reality, but they also had to have extraordinary talent, amazing achievements, and experience that they could ascend to the heavens in a single step, bathing in boundless glory.

Only then would one be able to comprehend this.

And the second one was even rarer. It was a great teacher halo bestowed by the heavens after one became a saint.

When saints walked, every step they took could produce a footprint, be it the sky, sea’s surface, canyon, the abyss…

To saints, geographical terrains no longer had a way to obstruct them. They could go wherever they wanted to. At the same time, the lotuses formed from their steps would produce fragrance capable of dissipating poisonous fog, miasma, the cold wind, the summer heat, and all evils!

From ancient times until now, the sky was an existence that caused humans to be filled with inferiority. Being able to soar in the sky and fully experience freedom was something everyone thirsted for. And now, Sun Mo could achieve this.

When Bai Fu landed on the ground, a group of great teachers immediately crowded over.

“Teacher Bai, how do you feel?”

“Is it satisfying or not?”

“Is the scenery when viewed from above extremely beautiful?”

The great teachers all stared fixedly at Bai Fu like a bunch of young kids crowding around and asking questions after seeing a friend of theirs that had a new toy.

The gazes of everyone had envy, curiosity, and shock.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Bai Fu was a female, some great teachers would want her to piggyback them as she flew around the air.

Bai Fu fell silent. She pondered over her wording before she spoke.

“The scenery is the most beautiful I’ve seen in my life. I won’t be able to forget it for all eternity!”

Bai Fu recalled. She felt that her heart seemed to have entered a clear pool overflowing with sweetness.

“Sun Mo is indeed worthy of the title ‘Number One Spirit Runist in the Nine Provinces’!”

Bai Fu praised.

Sun Mo could write novels, educate people, and was even handsome. Although he was sometimes unpleasant when he spoke, if he was her man, she would definitely not suffer a disadvantage.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Bai Fu +10,000. Reverence (21,000/100,000).

“Teacher Bai’s Skyward Spirit Rune isn’t counted in the ten slots, right?”

“I think it counts. It must have been because of this that Teacher Sun could recruit her. She must be his person now.”

The gazes of all the great teachers were filled with unfriendliness.

“Everyone, I’ve bled and suffered before for the Black-White Academy. There are ten name slots and I definitely must have one. If not, I will fall out with you all!”

“I’ve worked in the Black-White Academy for 50 years. Even if I don’t have any credit, I’ve labored extensively for the school. I deserved a slot!”

“Why are you guys speaking so much nonsense? Just come and fight it out and see who can get the name slots based on their strengths!”

These high star-ranking great teachers conversed with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense like they all had their daggers drawn. It was like a single spark could set off the entire thing and cause things to descend into a chaotic fight.

They couldn’t be blamed for their greed.

These people were high star-ranking great teachers. Given their position and wealth in society, they basically could have anything they wanted.

Famed courtesans and prostitutes?

They had long since grown tired of these things.

Delicious and exotic food?

They ate so much of those that they felt like puking!

In fact, they had even collected many precious treasures. But there were still some things they couldn’t obtain.

The prime example was Sun Mo’s Skyward Spirit Rune!

Everyone here was a great teacher and had a good brain. They instantly understood the value this rune could bring to combat. At the very least, if they encountered danger and couldn’t win against their enemies, fleeing by flying through the skies would definitely improve their survival rate greatly.

It was equivalent to having an extra life!

It would then be strange if they didn’t vie for it.

Honestly speaking, 7-stars and 8-stars great teachers didn’t have much clout before Sun Mo. If they wanted to request for a spirit rune, they had to at least be a secondary saint to diminish the risk of Sun Mo rejecting them.

Sun Mo had also underestimated the passion of everyone toward flying. In the end, things were only settled after he gave in and granted 30 sets of Skyward Spirit Runes.

However, his harvests were also immense.

All the upper echelons of the Black-White Academy were very amicable to Sun Mo and kept expressing their goodwill. They even took the initiative to suggest that they could head to the Central Province Academy every year for half a month to interact with the students and give lectures.

One must know that major characters of this level were usually very busy. Besides, they didn’t lack money. So, even if many famous schools were willing to pay very high prices to invite them, they wouldn’t go.

It was like an ordinary school that could invite great academicians for public lectures. Their clout was definitely something uniquely great.

Just based on this point, the Central Province Academy would have a very easy time recruiting students during the recruitment season. All the parents would definitely be in a hurry to agree, wanting to send their children over.

Humans, who were bound by gravity but were suddenly able to fly freely in the sky… For a topic like this, no matter which era it was, it would be extremely explosive and popular.

It simply took a mere three days before it spread through the Black-White Academy to the entire city. It even continued to spread to the surrounding cities.

…

Wan Kangcheng busied himself for an entire day. When he returned home, he received a report from his servant that his daughter-in-law’s father had arrived and had been waiting for some time.

“What is he doing here?”

Wan Kangcheng was clueless.

Wu Pan was the third wealthiest businessman in the Liao Country. He would usually be extremely busy and every time Wan Kangcheng interacted with him, Wu Pan would always feel disdain because he felt Wan Kangcheng’s knowledge was inferior to others. This was why Wu Pan wouldn’t visit him often.

Besides, their children recently had some conflict. So, their parents (Wu Pan and Wan Kangcheng) didn’t want to meet each other even more.

Wan Kangcheng went to the guest room after a simple washing up.

Wu Pan had changed his past manner of smiling coldly every time they saw each other. Right now, his fat face revealed a warm and amiable smile. When he saw Wan Kangcheng entering the room, he even stood up in welcome.

“Dear in-law, it has been a long time since we last met. How have you been?”

Wu Pan’s smile was like Maitreya, the Smiling Buddha, which exuded a sense of friendliness.

“Have you gone crazy? What are you trying to do?”

Wan Kangcheng hated false civilities like this. This fellow was usually very arrogant because his family was extremely rich and powerful.

“Ai, that’s why I always say that people in the learning industry like you are very troublesome. You guys don’t know anything about the ways of the world.”

Wu Pan sighed.

“Enough, what are you here for?”

Wan Kangcheng sat down with a gloomy expression. He felt that the other party was here because he wanted to discuss the problems between their children.

(If things cannot continue, just get a divorce then?)

“Eh…I heard that Sun Mo is currently in your esteemed school. I wish to pay him a visit!”

Wu Pan also knew of Wan Kangcheng’s smelly temper, so he went straight to the point.

“Huh?”

Wan Kangcheng was pedantic but he wasn’t foolish. Upon hearing this, he immediately understood. “For the Skyward Spirit Rune?”

“Haha, when I was young, I’ve always dreamt of flying in the skies!”

Wu Pan was somewhat embarrassed. Actually, other than wanting to experience the joy of flying, he wanted the feeling of being as high as the skies themselves, hoping that the metaphorical meaning of flying skyward would bring good luck to his business.

“It’s useless even if you look for me!”

Wan Kangcheng rejected.

“Are you not the acting headmaster of the Black-White Academy? Sun Mo can’t possibly not give you this bit of face, right?”

When Wu Pan heard this, his countenance darkened. He felt that Wan Kangcheng didn’t want to help him.

“He won’t give me!”

Wan Kangcheng didn’t want to go and beg Sun Mo.

“Old Wan, I think you are the one not giving me face!”

Wu Pan coldly snorted. “I don’t need you to do anything, I just need you to set up a meeting between me and Sun Mo.”

“Hehe!” Wan Kangcheng mocked. “What? You want to spam money again?”

“Wan Kangcheng, let me tell you that money can even make ghosts do your bidding. I will pay ten million taels. Don’t you think I can purchase the Skyward Spirit Rune successfully?”

Wu Pan was filled with disdain.

From his point of view, as long as he could meet Sun Mo, he could simply pay a high price and this matter would be settled.

“You know who Li Feng, Great Teacher Li, is, correct?”

Wan Kangcheng smiled.

“Yes!”

Wu Pan was a businessman. For high star-ranking great teachers like this, regardless of them being useful to him or not, he would surely have to be acquainted with them. “I’ve dined with her before!”

“Do you know how much Sun Mo was offering to recruit her to the Central Province Academy?”

“How much?”

Wan Kangcheng erected his index finger.

“Ten million? Che, for a ‘B’-grade school, this price is truly a lot!”

Wu Pan was somewhat shocked. It seemed that he had to increase his price.

“Wrong!”

Wan Kangcheng shook his head.

“Huh?” Wu Pan started. “How much then?”

“Guess!”

Wan Kangcheng chortled. (This person who always thinks that money can solve all problems is truly shallow.)

“A finger but the amount is larger than ten million? Could it be 100 million?”

After thinking of this amount, Wu Pan quickly shook his head. This was absolutely impossible. It was just recruiting a great teacher, and the great teacher being recruited didn’t belong to the top level. Why would someone pay so much?

Could Sun Mo be a wastrel?

But how much did one finger signify?

“100 million. You didn’t expect this, right?”

Wan Kangcheng ridiculed him.

“Impossible!”

Wu Pan was dumbfounded. “This is an empty promise, right? I don’t believe Sun Mo will give Li Feng that much money!”

“So, people like you basically don’t understand the values of top-level great teachers. You think 100 million is high? In Sun Mo’s eyes, that amount is equivalent to a dog fart!”

Wan Kangcheng scolded. “Also, for people with similar levels and compensation like Li Feng…Sun Mo recruited twenty-one of them!”

“Where did he get so much money from?”

Wu Pan was shocked.

“Why don’t you go and ask him?”

Wan Kangcheng felt that Sun Mo must have found a mine. After all, if he didn’t own a spirit stone mine, how would he dare to state such prices?

One must know that Sun Mo represented the Central Province Academy. Once he failed to honor his promise, both his and the school’s reputation would be damaged together.

Wan Kangcheng didn’t know that Sun Mo didn’t only have a mine, but he also had an immense private forest with several precious herbs within. Moreover, even without these things, Sun Mo could get a lot of money just by selling a few of his prescriptions and doing ‘massages’.

Sun Mo himself was a treasure bowl.

“…”

Wu Pan had an unsightly expression on his face. For someone like Sun Mo who could take 100 million…no 100 million times twenty-one…how would Sun Mo care about the little money he had?

“Old Wu, I have to remind you to pay attention to your wording. It’s taboo to call Sun Mo’s name directly. You better not doubt whether he can fulfill his promises or not. He isn’t someone you can afford to offend.”

Wan Kangcheng lifted a cup of tea and drank a mouthful.

This was the signal to send the guest away. The servant immediately came over and escorted Wu Pan away.

“A…are there no other solutions?”

Wu Pan was reluctant. This was a spirit rune that could allow one to fly. He really wanted it..
