Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1258: Spirit Rune Armament

Translator: Lordbluefire

‘The young man in the lead had a squarish facial feature and a scar beneath his left eye.

He stood there casually with a long blade resting on his bare left shoulder, chewing on some kind of fruit as its juice sprayed around.

‘There were five young people behind him, three girls and two guys. They had the look of a bully and completely disregarded the fact that they would be captured by authorities if they accosted people on the streets.

“Are you guys from the Dark Dawn?”

Lu Zhiruo was somewhat nervous.

Pak!

Tantai Yutang rapped the papaya girl’s head. “Stupid. Although the Dark Dawn is very infamous, they wouldn’t dare to make trouble so openly. I think they must be students from some famous schools that want to trample on Xuanyuan to rise to fame!”

“In that case, why don’t they fight up the stage?”

Lu Zhiruo rubbed her head.

“They might be worried they won’t encounter Xuanyuan!”

Helian Beifang analyzed. “Besides, even if they encountered him, they would have to fight a few rounds before that and would no longer be at their peak condition. Regardless if they won or lost, they wouldn’t feel convinced.”

Bluntly speaking, these people simply wanted to win in a decisive manner so no one had any excuses to dispute their victories.

“Oi, sickly invalid. Don’t assume others to be so shameless. I’m not going up the stage because I don’t want to act like a monkey performing in a circus for everyone to see!”

Square-face spat out the pyrena of the fruit he was chewing as his gaze swept past Li Ziqi and the others. Finally, his gaze landed on Jiang Leng. “Come out and fight one round with me!”

“Eh, don’t you want to challenge Xuanyuan?”

Xianyu Wei was surprised.

“If he fought here against me, he wouldn’t be able to participate in the latter stages of the competitio1

Square-face chortled. “I don’t want him to lose a championship because of me!”

Hua~

The passersby who had just gathered here due to the commotion were all stunned when they heard these words.

This bare-shouldered youth was very arrogant. He meant that Xuanyuan Po could become the champion with no problems, but Xuanyuan Po wouldn’t be able to win against him.

“Bee youl”

Xuanyuan Po was enraged and pointed his spear forward. “Come and fight!”

“Then why did you pick Jiang Leng?”

‘Tantai Yutang was curious.

“Because, among the rest of you, he is the strongest. Moreover, he doesn’t seem to be trying to win the championship!”

Behind Square-face, a girl eating a sugar-coated haw smiled as she surveyed Jiang Leng. “Besides, I feel that he’s pretty handsome!”

“Tm also very handsome!”

Tantai Yutang stroked his nose with his finger.

Truthfully speaking, these disciples of Sun Mo were all good-looking. They were dragons and phoenixes among humans.

“You?”

The girl eating the sugar-coated haws shook her head. “I hate men who touch corpses the most. Too disgusting!”

Li Ziqi and the sickly invalid frowned. Tantai Yutang’s love for researching corpses would cause him to frequently head to burial grounds to excavate corpses. However, this was a great secret. Even An Xinhui didn’t know about this.

However, this girl actually knew it?

The girl seemed to be able to guess his thoughts. She smiled in a self-satisfying manner. “Don’t make random guesses. I sniffed it out. There’s a lot of corpse qi emanating from your body.”

The gazes of the passersby became somewhat fearful when they looked at Tantai Yutang.

“Everyone, let’s stop playing by the rules. We should rush them and kill them together!”

‘Tantai Yutang spoke ruthlessly.

This was something that could be done but not said. If his tinkering with corpses was known by others, his teacher’s reputation would be destroyed.

“Group battle?”

Square-face’s long blade vibrated. “That can work too!”

“Oi, by not challenging Xuanyuan Po and that bow-user, we are already giving you guys a lot of face. You guys better know what’s good for you.”

Ayouth with a sharp chin stared at Tantai Yutang with an unfriendly look. His gaze was like the hook of a poison scorpion that could pierce his opponents, causing people to feel very uncomfortable.

“Tantai, calm down!”

Li Zigi shouted for him to calm down.

These people were not simple.

Although five people on their side participated in this competition, in truth, only Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu were doing their utmost for the sake of obtaining the championship.

Jiang Leng, Helian Beifang, and Xianyu Wei were participating purely to accumulate combat experience and clear some obstacles for Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu.

If all five of them entered the finals, Jiang Leng and the other two could exhaust the other opponents and make them weaker before the opponents faced Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu.

Xuanyuan Po and the iron-headed girl felt disdain for such a battle strategy, but Li Ziqi didn’t allow them to act recklessly. After all, this concerned Sun Mo’s prestige.

Now, this group of people with unknown origins actually saw through her thoughts?

“Zigi, you are good at everything save for the fact that you are too cautious at times.”

Ying Baiwu’s tone was cold. “I don’t care who they are or what purpose they have. As long as we kill them all, wouldn’t everything be resolved?”

“Little girl, you are so brazen. Come on out and let this elder brother educate you properly!”

The youth with a sharp chin cracked his fingers and pulled out a short blade from his belt. He must be someone that emphasized fast attacks.

Ying Baiwu was about to start fighting, but she was stopped by Li Ziqi.

“Calm down, your goal is the top three!”

After the little sunny egg finished persuading, she surveyed Sharp-chin while instructing Xianyu Wei. “Bring over my ‘No. 1 Hero Armament’!”

“Haha!”

The six youths started laughing as though they had just heard the greatest joke in the world.

“Li Ziqi, your intelligence is pretty high, but as for combat strength… sorry, I know you might fall down even when walking on flat ground!”

‘The sugar-coated haw girl giggled.

“Wanting to depend on the spiritual control techniques and spirit runes to win against me?”

Sharp-chin snorted with disdain. “You can’t make it!”

“Don’t be careless, something seems wrong!”

Square-face frowned.

Logically speaking, if a noob like Li Ziqi wanted to fight, her fellow martial siblings would stop her, right? But they were all crossing their arms over their chests and had the look like they were going to watch a good show.

They completely felt no worry for Li Ziqi.

“Mn!”

‘The plains girl grunted and immediately rushed to the carriage to take out a silver box.

At acorner of the long street, Sun Mo and the two saints were watching in the shadows.

“Teacher Sun, are you not going to stop them?”

Yang Shizhan was worried. “These six uninvited guests are very powerful!”

After Yang Shizhan became a saint, he had a natural sense of perception with regard to danger. Even in the spectator stands, he had discovered that someone had been silently watching Li Zigi and the others. So, after they left, he immediately informed Sun Mo and they decided to follow Sun Mo’s

students.

“I’s impossible for me to protect them their whole lives. Let’s just wait and watch for a little while longer!”

Sun Mo was very curious about what Zigi wanted to do.

She was a cautious girl. Since she dared to fight and the others weren’t stopping her, it meant that she was 90% confident that she could win.

Sun Mo’s gaze landed on the box Xianyu Wei was carrying.

It was about 1.5 meters long and there were patterns engraved outside. It was polished and shone resplendently under the sunlight.

(What’s this?)

(Cosplaying as Saint Seiya?)

When Xianyu Wei placed the silver box before Li Ziqi, Li Zigi sat on it and patted the top of the box.

Bzz!

A platinum-colored glow emitted from the box. After that, a grinding sound rang out as the box changed form, It resembled the equipment of Iron Man and actually transformed into silvery-white armor that perfectly covered her.

Ina mere few seconds, an armored female warrior appeared on the streets.

Everyone was stunned. Leaving aside her combat strength, just her appearance was simply too cool.

It was impossible for any warriors to wear the lightest chain armor in the Nine Provinces with such speed. Li Zigi’s speed of putting on the armor was simply incredible.

There were also complicated-looking spirit runes engraved on the armor. They seemed to be breathing and glowing with light.

“What’s that?”

Yang Shizhan and Hu Xi

ang both spoke out in unison without prior agreement.

“Spirit rune armament?”

Sun Mo guessed but he didn’t dare to be sure.

“Eldest Martial Sister, squash his dog head!”

Lu Zhiruo cheered.

“Retreat, quickly back off for 50 meters at least. If not, don’t blame us if you guys suffer!”

Helian Beifang cleared the area.

He had experienced the might of this Hero Armament in the darkness illusion dojo. It was truly powerful!

‘The audience knew that fights between cultivators would be very fierce, hence, they decisively retreated, leaving a huge circular space for the combatants.

“Do you guys want to come at me together or fight one-on-one?”

‘There was actually a voice-transmission spirit rune on the helmet, allowing Li Ziqi’s voice to clearly sound out.

“One-on-one!”

The youth with a sharp chin stepped out.

“You can attack first!” Li Ziqi spoke proudly.

“No need for that!”

Sharp-chin was a chauvinistic man. When he heard the other party saying this, he couldn’t bear it anymore. “I will let you use three moves first!”

Just as his voice faded, Li Ziqi snapped the fingers on her left armored hand.

Pak!

Kacha! Kacha!

Nine balls of coconut-sized lightning spheres materialized before her. After that, they sped toward Sharp-chin with a wave of Li Ziqi’s hand.

“How swift!”

Sharp-chin’s eyes narrowed and he attempted to dodge. However, he discovered that these lightning spheres actually changed direction and continued to zoom toward him. They were extremely hard to deal with.

“Should I slash them apart?”

If this continued, although he wouldn’t be hit by the lightning spheres, it would be too embarrassing. Just when Sharp-chin was pondering whether or not to slash the lightning spheres apart, he suddenly heard a warning by his comrades.

“Careful!”

Abeam of light shot out of Li Ziqi’s right armored palm, blasting toward Sharp-chin.

Swish~

Sharp-chin bent his waist and narrowly avoided that.

His countenance changed because the high heat emitted by the beam of light had burned his clothes, causing his skin to feel extreme heat.

This hadn’t ended yet because Li Ziqi continued to blast out light beams!

‘Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~

Numerous light beams shot forth and slammed onto the floor and the buildings on the streets, directly exploding upon impact.

Hua~

Everyone was so frightened that they almost peed in their pants. All of them hurriedly stepped back.

“What cultivation art is this?”

Yang Shizhan asked in astonishment as he sighed ruefully in his heart. (I’ve stayed in the prison for 200 years and as expected, I can no longer catch up with the times!)

“That isn’t a cultivation art. It’s a direct usage of spirit qi energy!

Sun Mo didn’t think that the little sunny egg had managed to create the spiritwave glove. Moreover, this armament clearly wasn’t a low-graded one that had to be charged up before she could use it. Li Ziqi could directly insert spirit diamonds as its energy source.

It was like the difference between a flintlock and an automatic rifle. There was no need for the user to do anything after firing a shot.

Sharp-chin tried advancing a few times but was always forced back by the spiritwave beams.

There was no solution to this. No matter how fast he was, Li Ziqi only needed to move her palm a little and aimed her hand at him to fire a beam of light.

“Brat, weren’t you very arrogant earlier? Why don’t you continue acting like that?”

Tantai Yutang sneered.

How could Sharp-chin endure this? He gritted his teeth and unleashed an ultimate skill.

Swish~

Sharp-chin directly vanished, and at the next instant, he appeared behind Li Ziqi. A dagger was in his hand and he pierced it toward the back of Li Ziqi’s neck.

“This time around, I want to see how you can unleash more light beams!”

Sharp-chin coldly laughed.
