Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 811: ear Ancestor-Level, Sun Mo’s Performance

After the first self-introduction class, Sun Mo became famous. It was because his speech was too astonishing.

“If anyone is able to stump me during my lectures, I’ll quit being a great teacher forever.”

This was definitely an arrogant speech.

Sun Mo might be very talented and could go to this extent in other famous schools, but there was no way that he could do this in the Dragon Subduing Academy.

It was because this was a famous school that was ranked amongst the top three amongst the Nine Greats.

All of the students here were elites from the various tribes in the north. Some of them were even taught by great teachers and had already reached a small level of achievement.

If this was in the Central Plains, students would not intentionally make things difficult for Sun Mo. However, this was the northern plains. These proud barbarians loved to see the intern teachers making a fool of themselves.

“Sun Mo, you’re too rash.”

Mei Ziyu’s heart was filled with worry.

“If I don’t do this, how will I be able to gather enough students within a short time?”

As Sun Mo was forbidden from using his God Hands, the only trump card left on his sleeves was his study of spirit runes that was near the ancestor level. However, he could only be at a loss if there were no students.

If Sun Mo were to teach here, he wouldn’t mind for things to develop slowly. However, this was an examination and he only had three months. He had to rise to fame in a single battle.

Looking at Sun Mo’s confident expression, Mei Ziyu stopped trying to persuade him. A strong feeling of admiration rose in her heart.

Was this what it meant to be capable of things others aren’t?

Someone who could achieve great things must have the boldness Sun Mo had.

However, even though Sun Mo’s words were domineering, the favorable impression points he received were extremely low. Most of the students were waiting to see him make a joke of himself.

…

One day passed by in the blink of an eye. Very soon, it was time for Sun Mo’s first lesson.

Before eight, the second floor of the stone castle’s teaching building was already filled with people.

Wanyan Zhenghe remained in the central position, like a revered leader surrounded by people.

“If I don’t ruin his name and get him to kneel down and admit his loss, I, the Jin Country’s little prince, will take his surname.”

Wanyan Zhenghe chewed on jerky while stroking a palm-sized stone slab.

He had gotten this from his younger sister. It came from the Darkness Continent and there were mysterious prints carved onto it. These prints were said to be spirit runes.

However, the few great teachers in the Dragon Subduing Academy who majored in the study of spirit runes couldn’t make sense of them.

“I’m only afraid that the guy will blindly give an answer and then insist that he is right. After all, I don’t have the right answer either.”

Wanyan Zhenghe felt a little worried. What was he going to do if the other party was unreasonable?

Very soon, a long horn signal rang out.

When the third signal ended, Sun Mo entered the lecture theater with the last note.

The lectern was a stone one that emitted a coolness amidst the late autumn.

“Let’s talk about the study of spirit runes for this class. Can anyone tell me what spirit runes are?”

Sun Mo didn’t say any greetings and went straight to the point.

“Teacher, aren’t you going to hit us with Encyclopedic Knowledge?”

A student asked.

“That’s right. Do you not know it?”

“He’s just an intern teacher. You’re asking too much.”

The students laughed merrily, none of them taking the class seriously at all.

Sun Mo looked at all the students coldly, speaking in a solemn tone, “If you need Encyclopedic Knowledge just for taking a class, then what are your brains for? People who are used to taking shortcuts wouldn’t want to take the proper routes anymore.”

Encyclopedic Knowledge was suitable for increasing the efficiency when performing high-intensity learning, for example, the final charge right before examinations. If it was used all the time, then what was one to do when they no longer had the reinforcement from a great teacher?

“Cut all the crap. Just tell us if you know it or not.”

Wanyan Zhenghe’s lackey who was seated to his right started shouting out.

“Alright, since you guys want it, I’ll give it to you.”

As Sun Mo said this, he snapped his fingers loudly.

Pa!

A golden halo spread out across the entire lecture theater.

Buzz!

With the halo’s reinforcement, the students felt as if they had a tube stuffed down their throats and were forced to chug down a ton worth of red bull. They instantly became invigorated.

All of them opened their eyes wide, feeling spirited. Some of them had been feeling tired because they had been studying through the night, but they were now completely revived and could fight on for another month.

“F*ck your mom! It’s Complete Focus!”

“Don’t! I am still thinking of sleeping!”

“I don’t want to die from a sudden death.”

Some students immediately howled. Many of them looked at the lackey, having a strong urge to beat him up.

(Why did you challenge Sun Mo? Look at what’s happening. We won’t need to sleep for at least two days now.)

Complete Focus was even more brutal than Encyclopedic Knowledge. It could allow one to undergo high-intensity learning for several days without a loss in their interest.

However, thereafter, there’d be a worn-out phase.

Students from famous schools were often thirsty for knowledge. Therefore, they didn’t need to be driven, and Complete Focus was thus used to punish the lazy students.

“Teacher, just tell us straight if you don’t know Encyclopedic Knowledge. Why did you throw this at us?”

The lackey said with a sneering tone, “It’s said that when a great teacher comprehends a halo, they’ll need relative experience. I’m guessing that Teacher must have been punished quite a lot before, right?”

“Shut up. You’ll never understand the hard work of outstanding people.”

Sun Mo looked at the lackey. After all, a lackey didn’t have to study, They just needed to curry up to others.

“What are you talking about?”

The lackey’s face turned flush red and he shot up to his feet.

Young men all cared about their pride. Although he was fawning upon someone rich and powerful, he couldn’t stand it to be exposed.

“I’m talking about you!”

Sun Mo frowned. “What kind of intellect do you have? Don’t you even understand such words?”

“I… I want to challenge you to a duel!”

The lackey let out an explosive bellow and drew his curved blade with a clank.

“I thought you’re just someone gluttonous and lazy, relying on fawning to others. I didn’t expect that there’s something wrong with your brain as well. You want to duel against me? Do you want to die?”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched. “Alright, you can scram out. Don’t disrupt my class.”

“Great Teacher Sun, there’s a saying that education should be provided without discrimination, yet you are getting Barigang to leave just because he questioned you. Aren’t you being too petty?”

Wanyan Zhenghe spoke up, attacking Sun Mo from an ethical standpoint right off the bat.

Great teachers could be weak in their talent, but they mustn’t lose their teaching ethics. Otherwise, it’d be over for even a saint if others were to feel that they had lost their teaching ethics.

After all, in this occupation, the expectations toward morality were higher.

“I’m only asking him to go out and reflect. I didn’t forbid him from listening to my class.”

Sun Mo’s explanation was given with no hesitation at all. “Look at the students who are listening from the corridors. I feel that it’d be better for him to give up the chance of sitting in the class to them.”

Wanyan Zhenghe frowned, thinking to himself. (These people are here to watch you make a fool of yourself.) However, with Sun Mo saying this, it seemed to make sense to others and Wanyan Zhenghe was unable to retort.

“This guy is too f*cking quick-witted.”

All the students were surprised.

Not only had Sun Mo chased away the troublemaker Barigang, cutting off one of Wanyan Zhenghe’s limbs, but he was flawless in the aspect of ethics.

“What are you still standing there for? Get out!”

Sun Mo reproached, “Just stand outside the classroom and listen. Get rid of your impulsiveness.”

“Hmph!”

There was no way that Barigang would do as he was told. However, at the next second, a golden light radiated past, and his body stood up uncontrollably.

It was Profound Words!

Someone gasped in surprise. Many people also felt that it was exhilarating that they could air some of their grievances.

After all, Barigang had bullied many people using Wanyan Zhenghe’s reputation. He was considered a bully.

“Let’s continue with the class. The study of spirit runes is actually a language. It uses runes to express the spirit runist’s thoughts.”

Sun Mo explained.

Although a lot of the students in the class were here to watch the excitement because they were bored, some of them did major in the study of spirit runes.

They had decided to come and check things out because of Sun Mo’s arrogant claim previously, wanting to see how capable he was.

When they heard Sun Mo saying that the study of spirit runes was a language, they instantly found it refreshing. This was a concept that no one had mentioned before.

As someone from the modern world, Sun Mo knew that he had to surprise others with his words if he wished to gather a tremendous amount of popularity within a short period.

Look at all the major headlines. There were often words like ‘breaking news!’ or other eye-catching lines to capture attention and serve as click baits.

As the examination was only for three months, Sun Mo had no chance nor wish to teach these students the foundations of spirit runes. He was going to talk about sophisticated things that other people hadn’t talked about before.

The more it was hard to understand, the better.

It was because to outstanding students, even if they were people of ‘other’ ethnic groups, there were some common traits that never changed. Those were pride as well as a strong desire to learn.

At this age, knowledge was extremely expensive. They’d be infatuated by spirit rune knowledge that they hadn’t seen before, even if they didn’t understand them.

Regardless if other people understood or not, they would just remember it first.

Therefore, the students who majored in the study of spirit runes immediately started to take notes furiously, not wanting to miss out on a single word.

“Little Prince, this is bad. This guy seems to have a way of teaching.”

Another lackey said in surprise.

Gradually, no one was talking gibberish anymore. Even those people who were here to watch a show were starting to listen attentively.

“Shut up!”

Wanyan Zhenghe felt displeased. Although he hated Sun Mo, he had to admit that this guy gave off a different vibe when teaching.

Thankfully, he looked ugly. Otherwise, with his teaching style, he’d be able to attract the attention of a lot of young ladies.

Looking at Sun Mo’s ordinary level of ugliness, Wanyan Zhenghe was filled with a sense of superiority.

“The study of spirit runes isn’t something that is fixed and set in stone. Don’t be restrained in the concepts your predecessors instill into you. Set your thoughts free and use the lines to describe your world.”

Sun Mo hung up a rune paper on the blackboard and then started to move his brush around.

“Teacher, are you going to draw a spirit rune?”

Someone felt curious.

“Tsk, this is his tactic. After making a surprising speech, he’ll drag out time by drawing spirit runes. To put it simply, he has nothing in him and can only hang with this little trick.”

Outside the lecture theater, Barigang started to defame Sun Mo again. Moreover, he spoke very loudly.

“I’m sorry that I’m going to have to disappoint you.”

Sun Mo shrugged and his hand that was holding onto the brush was moving extremely fast.

Many lines took form under his brush. In just three minutes, a loud boom erupted and intense spirit qi waves appeared in the lecture theater. Then, a tremendous amount of spirit qi gathered over like tidal waves, forming a tornado on top of the rune paper.

“F*ck, that can’t be, right? A level 5 spirit rune?”

“With how beautiful it is, it should be at least a level 6!”

“Does anyone recognize this spirit rune?”

The students who majored in the study of spirit runes were completely astonished. Not only did Sun Mo draw very quickly, but the spirit rune was also of an extremely high level. Most importantly, they didn’t recognize this spirit rune at all!

In most cases, the fewer the lines of a spirit rune, the lesser its prowess. It was because fewer lines would be able to hold lesser spirit qi. Therefore, it was a basic knowledge in the spirit rune world that the simplest the spirit rune, the weaker its prowess.

“Does anyone recognize it?”

Sun Mo asked.

No one replied.

“Then can you guys take a guess on what effect it has?”

Sun Mo asked again.

“If you don’t activate it, how would we know?”

All the students shook their heads.

Sun Mo smiled and released the answer. “This is a Spirit-Gathering Rune.”

“What?”

“That’s impossible. I’ve memorized the Spirit-Gathering Runes and all of its variations. This is definitely not one of them.”

“That’s right, it isn’t. I dare to swear with my head on the line.”

Students from famous schools were all top talents. There was no way that they wouldn’t know of the Spirit-Gathering Rune, which was considered the most foundational spirit rune.

“Of course. It’s because I came up with this myself!”

Sun Mo explained.

The lecture theater immediately fell quiet. A few seconds later, a commotion erupted.

“What? An original spirit rune creation?”

“That can’t be, right? To think that this guy from the Central Plains is so amazing?”

“I don’t believe it. Did this guy find the blueprint in some relic of the Darkness Continent?

The students talked amongst themselves. None of them believed Sun Mo’s words.

It was because creating spirit runes was something that one could only do after reaching the grandmaster level.

(You’re telling me that this Sun Mo is a grandmaster spirit runist? That’d be a joke. How old is he?)

“Teacher, don’t be passing off a spirit rune you found in the darkness ruins as your own.”

Another student said.

This wasn’t an attempt to create trouble but purely out of disbelief. It was because a person would have the right to be called a grandmaster even if their unique creation was the simplest Spirit-Gathering Rune.

Sun Mo smiled, not saying anything. He put up another piece of rune paper on the blackboard again, then started drawing.

Three minutes later, another spirit rune took form.

Similarly, a spirit qi spiral appeared.

Sssss!

This time around, even the ordinary students looked astonished. It was drawn so quickly and so well that it proved Sun Mo’s foundations to be very strong.

From just this point alone, he had the right to stand on the rostrum.

However, Sun Mo didn’t stop. He put up another piece of rune paper and continued.

He didn’t make them wait for long. In three minutes, another spirit qi tornado took form and a spirit qi tornado appeared.

Then there was a fourth, a fifth, a sixth…

In just ten minutes, Sun Mo completed all of them. Moreover, a spirit qi spiral would appear after each of them was drawn…

Due to the spirit qi movements, a great commotion was caused within the stone castle and many students were attracted. Therefore, the corridor was soon flooded with people.

“Do any of you recognize these spirit runes?”

Sun Mo smiled and asked.

All 300 students in the lecture theater were completely silent.

Firstly, they really had no idea. Secondly, they were given a scare by Sun Mo. Although the spirit runes he drew were simpler, it was a bit frightening when all six consecutive spirit runes were of high quality.

His foundations could no longer be said to be sturdy. It was astonishing!

“Why? Do the Dragon Subduing Academy’s outstanding students not even recognize such simple spirit runes?”

Sun Mo tried to agitate them and then looked toward Wanyan Zhenghe. “The Little Prince, right? Do you know any of them?”

Preposterous.

Wanyan Zhenghe was enraged. It was because Sun Mo was viewing him in contempt from an intellectual perspective. (If I knew that this would happen, I would have brought my sister here.)
