Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1242: Pursued by Everyone

Translator: Lordbluefire 

On the training stage in a public square of the lone island…

When Liu Xiurong was brought out of the prison, he lifted his hand to cover his eyes.

The blinding sunlight was like a sharp arrow, piercing his eyes and skin, causing him to feel pain. However, he didn’t want to evade it. He instead did his best to incline his head to glance at the sun that he had not seen in a long time.

“Move it!”

The guard urged and gave him a push.

Sun Mo had arrived and was currently doing his warm-up.

There were spectators gathered at the sidelines. All the examinees had arrived, including the prison guards and their family members.

“When will the fight start?”

Liu Xiurong decided to fight slowly so he could enjoy being above the ground for a little longer.

(Ai! The ocean breeze is so comfortable! Why didn’t I discover this in the past? Indeed, only after losing freedom would one learn to cherish things.)

“Any time!”

Sun Mo locked his fingers before stretching his interlocked hands forward in a stretch. “Do you want to leave this place?”

“Nope!”

Liu Xiurong’s countenance turned cold.

Because all the prisoners were great teachers, the knowledge they had was considered wealth. Hence, the Saint Gate had once decreed that as long as these prisoners were willing to part with their knowledge, they could regain freedom.

Prescriptions, secret techniques, and unique cultivation arts were treated as hard currency.

Sun Mo shrugged. (In any case, after we fight for a while, your prescription will be mine.)

“The battle will begin in five minutes!”

Sun Mo didn’t mind, but Ji Han wouldn’t permit Liu Xiurong to stay out of the prison for too long.

This training platform was a place where the guards would usually exercise. It was roughly the size of a soccer field, and on the northern side were cliffs that faced the sea.

Even without Ji Han suppressing them, the prisoners didn’t need to think about escaping. Leaving aside the fact that sea-type spiritual beasts were patrolling the waters below the cliff, even if the prisoners had the correct sea map, they wouldn’t be able to swim back to the mainland as the distance was simply too far.

“Liu Xiurong, fourth-level of the Longevity Realm.”

Liu Xiurong introduced. His face was filled with pride.

Twelve years of living as a prisoner actually caused his heart to be cleared of distractions. He could no longer be bothered by mundane things and could be completely focused on his cultivation. Hence, he had leveled up twice.

Such speed was absolutely enough to qualify him as a genius.

“Sun Mo, fifth-level of the Longevity Realm!” Sun Mo introduced.

“Huh?”

The spectators were all stunned. (Did I hear wrongly?)

“Did he report his cultivation level wrongly? How old is he merely? Look at his tender-looking face, he probably hasn’t even tasted a woman before!”

“He’s a genius, alright? I’ve investigated before. This brat has many achievements!”

“It’s even more impossible that way. Learning plus cultivating, how can he juggle both simultaneously to such a high level?”

It was public knowledge that the cultivation speed of great teachers was always slower compared to cultivators by quite a bit.

“You guys didn’t hear it wrongly. He’s at the fifth level of the Longevity Realm!”

Pang Tong shouted. “All of us have seen his breakthrough that day.”

“…”

Liu Xiurong stared at Sun Mo in dumbfounded amazement. After that, he turned and departed. (Damn, is it so fun to prank people?)

“Teacher Liu, please wait!”

Sun Mo persuaded. “A fight can be established if the cultivation levels of both parties are within three levels.”

“F***. I’m older than you. It’s only normal that I win against you. But if I lost, I would just throw my face away!”

Liu Xiurong cursed. “Wanting to gain a sense of satisfaction from me? No way!”

“You’ve misunderstood. I’ve no such intentions!”

Sun Mo felt a headache. He mentally mused that if he was looking for a sense of superiority, he would have challenged Ji Han.

“I’m not fighting!”

Liu Xiurong felt that Sun Mo’s heart was completely black.

“Alright, I’ll take a step back!”

Sun Mo sighed. “Recently, did you feel that your stomach would spasm uncontrollably and you were often constipated?”

Swish~

Liu Xiurong’s countenance turned even more unsightly.

Such things were very embarrassing and shouldn’t be spoken out in public. But the problem was…how did this brat know?

“Are you the one who poisoned me?”

Liu Xiurong clenched his fists.

“I’m untalented, but I have a title known as ‘God Hands’ in the Nine Provinces. Great Teacher Ji can be my witness!”

Sun Mo smiled.

“The reputation of Sun Mo’s God Hands resounds throughout the Nine Provinces. It’s unknown how many people want treatment from him!”

Pang Tong interjected. The other examinees finally found a chance to fawn on Sun Mo. Hence, they hurriedly added compliments too.

No matter what, Liu Xiurong was also someone that had been bitten by the ‘old dog’ that was society. Hence, when he saw the fawning expressions on the faces of these great teachers, he knew that Sun Mo must be truly impressive.

“Would you allow me to inspect your body?”

Sun Mo walked over.

Liu Xiurong hesitated.

“Old fellow. Do you know how many people are dreaming of this opportunity? During the Five Empires War Discussion, the Qi Emperor almost became sworn brothers with Sun Mo just because he wanted Sun Mo to give him a massage.”

Pang Tong was depressed. “Teacher Sun, if he doesn’t want it, how about giving me the chance?”

“Scram!”

Liu Xiurong scolded. After that, he stretched out a hand toward Sun Mo. “I’ll have to trouble you then!”

“I won’t need to feel your pulse!”

Sun Mo glanced at the dirty-looking face and clothes of Liu Xiurong and noticed that there was even a stench coming from him. Sun Mo didn’t stretch his hand out.

This scene caused Liu Xiurong’s countenance to change. Just when he wanted to ask if Sun Mo was humiliating him on purpose, a blast of spirit qi gushed forth from Sun Mo’s body and materialized into a muscular dude.

“Damn!”

Liu Xiurong jumped in fright before leaping backward ferociously.

What the hell was this?

This dude was none other than the genie. It was dressed in a buttoned-up corset and had a turban on its head. It then postured and flaunted its muscles. Not explaining things to Liu Xiurong, it directly shot its arm out to grab Liu Xiurong’s hand, pulling Liu Xiurong forward. After that, the genie aimed a punch at Liu Xiurong’s stomach.

“I’ll f*** you!”

Liu Xiurong was instantly enraged. But after he got beaten up, he discovered that although it was somewhat painful, he actually felt more comfort. The pain from his stomach had vanished by quite a lot.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The genie threw out three punches at Liu Xiurong’s body.

“It’s over!”

Ji Han rapidly stepped forward, preparing to stop the fight. Liu Xiurong’s personality was very hot-tempered. He couldn’t suffer any disadvantage at all or he would flip. Now that Sun Mo had punched him, he would definitely act to kill Sun Mo.

But who the hell was that muscular dude?

Just when Ji Han moved closer, before he could act, Liu Xiurong actually smiled and shouted.

“Comfortable! Satisfying!”

“Huh?”

Ji Han started. (I didn’t expect this fellow to be a masochist?)

As the genie attacked, white-colored steam was emitted from Liu Xiurong’s body. His clothes were drenched a little while later.

“What you’re cultivating is the Pure Yang Trust Fist. Your body requires the unyielding Yang energy. However, because you are in an underground prison, the dampness there was too much for you. The moisture seeped into your body and caused you to be constipated and feel discomfort in your stomach.”

Sun Mo explained.

“…”

Liu Xiurong had no choice but to believe it because he needed to go to the latrine now. Hence, he clasped his hands and said, “Please permit me to leave for a while!”

15 minutes later, Liu Xiurong returned. His expression was brimming with comfort, like a hungry ghost that had just finished eating an imperial feast.

“Great Teacher Sun, many thanks!”

Liu Xiurong bowed and sincerely thanked him.

“Can you fight me now?”

Sun Mo issued an invitation.

“Great Teacher Sun, your words are simply tormenting me. You have shown kindness toward me, how can I still fight you?”

If one never suffered from constipation, they wouldn’t know the pain. Every time Liu Xiurong went to the toilet, he wanted nothing more than to use a dagger to cut open his anus.

“It couldn’t be counted as a kindness, just a slight effort!”

Sun Mo felt a headache. (If you don’t fight me, how can I learn your prescription?)

Luckily, because Liu Xiurong had received Sun Mo’s kindness, he didn’t dare to keep rejecting. Hence, the two of them began to fight.

However, the moment the fight began, Liu Xiurong immediately regretted it.

(Damn, isn’t Sun Mo a little too strong?)

The moment they exchanged blows, Liu Xiurong was instantly suppressed. He was dodging pathetically like a loser dog, being bullied by Sun Mo’s wooden blade.

“What blade art is this? It’s so gorgeous!”

Everyone sighed in admiration.

No one was able to see that every time Liu Xiurong suffered a strike, a golden page would fly out from his head and float in the air.

Sun Mo was worried that Liu Xiurong might give up, hence, he attacked very quickly.

As expected, Liu Xiurong called for a stop just three minutes later.

“Teacher Sun, I concede!”

Liu Xiurong had given Sun Mo sufficient face. It was a pity that he didn’t know that Sun Mo didn’t want a sense of superiority. What he wanted was the prescription.

Sun Mo returned the gesture and snapped his finger, causing the golden pages to float over as they transformed into two books.

Ding!

“Congratulations on learning the Pure Yang True Fist and the Liu Clan’s Herb Encyclopedia!”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Did I get it or not?”

Sun Mo hurriedly learned them. After that, he found the body refinement prescription in the encyclopedia.

Pang Tong and the others crowded around to congratulate Sun Mo on his victory. After that, they brought up the suggestion that they also wanted to experience God Hands.

“Sure, but everyone has to spar three rounds with me!”

This was Sun Mo’s plan.

Through sparring, he could accumulate experience and increase his combat strength. At the same time, he could ‘beat out’ the other party’s knowledge and pilfer some of it.

Naturally, Sun Mo wouldn’t easily impart this ‘unique knowledge’ to others. He would place it in the great library that Li Ziqi was building to prevent their legacies from being lost in time.

For the next two months, Sun Mo used his God Hands to massage the inhabitants on the lone island while also fighting with them. Among them, many didn’t have any ultimate skills, but Sun Mo wasn’t bothered. He still treated them seriously, hence, he managed to garner a large number of favorable impression points and a good reputation.

Now when everyone saw Sun Mo, they would start to greet him respectfully, calling him ‘Sun-laoshi’.

Even for people like Ji Han, if it wasn’t for the fact that they wanted face, they would have long since looked for Sun Mo for a massage.

After he was done with these people, Sun Mo started to ‘handle’ those prisoners.

If it was in the past, there would be too many obstructions if Sun Mo wanted to fight against the prisoners. But now, everyone treated this as entertainment.

Since those prisoners were qualified to be imprisoned here, this meant that they did have some capabilities. But right now, all their capabilities were being forced out of them by Immemorial Vairocana and now belonged to Sun Mo.

…

On the sixth day of this month, Sun Mo entered the prison and when he was selecting a target, Yu Lin called out to him.

“Oi, oi. I heard that your God Hand is very awesome. Can you cure broken legs?”

Yu Lin asked.

“You even know about this?”

Sun Mo asked with a smile.

“No matter what, I’m a godly thief. There’s no problem for me if I want to find out some information.”

Yu Lin pressed his face against the bars. “Can you just tell me straight up whether you can cure broken legs or not?”

“I can’t!”

Sun Mo shook his head.

“Haha, I knew it!”

Yu Lin sighed and slid to the ground in a sitting position while leaning against bars. After that, his head banged against the bars repeatedly.

“Do you feel regret?”

Sun Mo surveyed Yu Lin.

“Yes, but I simply can’t control my hands!”

Yu Lin spoke in a self-mocking tone, “You have no idea how great the feeling of reaping something without sowing is.”

“I like to earn my own living!”

Sun Mo spoke in contempt.

“Earn your own living? I also wanted to do the same. But sadly, I was just a child from an ordinary family. What could I do?”

Yu Lin started roaring. “Why the hell could those stupid individuals from the great teacher clans have top-level cultivation arts and resources? My talent is also very good but just because my birth was bad, I’m not qualified to learn those cultivation arts?

“So, I wanted to steal all their ultimate skills and secret manuals and pass them down to young geniuses with low social backgrounds!”
