Chapter 932: 5-Stars Great Teacher, Longevity Realm Major Character!

Translator: Lordbluefire

AGT 932 –

The Holy Pharaoh had the Bug Swarm Invasion ability. The effect would be to release several hundred bugs whose vision could be shared with the Holy Pharaoh and used as a scouting means.

“Be careful! Enemy attack!”

At the instant Sun Mo received the warning from the Holy Pharaoh, he bellowed out.

If an ordinary great teacher were to shout out so suddenly, everyone might have doubts. After all, the surroundings were very quiet. However, Sun Mo was the signboard of the Central Province Academy and the strongest uprising star. Therefore, his words represented authority.

In the blink of an eye, all the teachers and students unsheathed their blades and swords, keeping their guards up of their surroundings.

The senior students even formed battle formations with those close to them..

Du! Du! Du!

An Xinhui blew a copper whistle, producing a short but intense sound. She was reminding the groups that had gone out to scout the surroundings to be careful.

The summer wind blew, causing the branches and leaves to rustle.

Everyone was fully focused, but there weren’t any motions at all.

“Where’s the enemy?”

Sun Mo continued to ask.

This was the benefit that spiritual controllers had. They didn’t need to speak and could communicate with their spiritual beasts through their minds.

The Holy Pharaoh continued to search for the target. “10 o’clock direction, 50 meters underground.”

“You guys stay here!”

As Sun Mo said this, he darted out at full speed.

Thick twisted tree roots bulged up on the ground. Sun Mo traveled several meters with one step and then drew his blade, slashing.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Blade qi gushed out, slashing onto the ground and sending soil and broken pieces of leaves flying.

“Too shallow.”

The Holy Pharaoh warned, “It’s coming!”

Sun Mo felt a slight tremor coming from underneath and immediately jumped onto a huge tree fork.

Rumble!

Soil splattered, looking like a spring eruption, and a thick ‘worm’ darted out from underground. Its head was round with sawtooth-shaped teeth in the middle, looking like a chrysanthemum flower as they opened and closed.

Kacha!

When the sneak-attack missed, the worm’s body contracted and swelled up. It was then spurting out a large amount of green viscous liquid like a spout.

“What is this?”

Sun Mo dodged.

Pa!

The viscous liquid hit the spot where Sun Mo had been standing, immediately corroding half of the tree trunk and releasing white smoke.

“What is this? A python?”

Gu Xiuxun came over to render assistance when she heard the commotion.

“It’s an earthworm!”

Sun Mo had scanned this worm with his Divine Sight.

“Senhai Giant Earthworm, a large-sized earthworm that lives in the Darkness Continent. It feeds on various ferocious beasts and excels in sudden attacks. Once the prey gets dragged underground, they’re sure to die.”

Note: Its combat prowess is mediocre and its strength is in its powerful bite, the high corrosiveness of the acid its spurt, as well as its outstanding self-recovery ability. However, once it goes underground, it will become an extremely troublesome and strong foe.

“It’s because the Senhai Giant Earthworm moves with great agility in the soil like a whale in the ocean.”

“Danger level, A-grade!”

Note: Its meat is high in protein and can be used as feed for bird-type animals. Its heart, especially, can strengthen a cultivator’s recovery abilities after eating it.

“Earthworm?”

The others who came rushing over looked stunned. This worm was over 20 meters long and two people wouldn’t be able to hug it together. (Even a big python might not be as thick, yet you’re saying that it’s an earthworm?)

However, no one doubted Sun Mo’s assessment.

“Quickly climb up onto the trees. Once you get dragged underground, you’ll definitely die.”

At the instant Sun Mo finished his sentence.

Rumble!

The Senhai Giant Earthworm came charging up from underground toward where the group of students was standing.

Pa pa pa!

The soil that was sent flying splattered everywhere like heavy rain. The huge earthworm bit at Li Ziqi. Her reaction was the slowest and she was the closest to it.

“This is bad!”

Sun Mo performed the Wind King Divine Steps and was about to help her, but An Xinhui was faster. With a flash, she appeared in front of Li Ziqi, using one hand to protect her while slashing out her longsword with the other.

Swoosh!

The simple-looking sword slash caused the Senhai Giant Earthworm to be cut into two.

Squeak!

The huge earthworm let out an agonizing cry, spewing out acid incessantly while darting into the ground, wanting to escape.

“Die!”

Xuanyuan Po held onto his silver spear and came down from the sky like a shooting star, piercing into the Senhai Giant Earthworm’s body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions occurred in the huge earthworm’s body, causing many bulges to appear on it.

The great teachers who had wanted to attack stopped, looking at Xuanyuan Po with surprised gazes.

This young man was really amazing!

He had chosen a good timing to attack and even the part he attacked was also spot-on. Most importantly, he didn’t show any hint of cowering on his face. It was filled with excitement instead.

What was the most important thing if one wished to become a battle god?

Aptitude?

No, it was a strong yearning for combat!

Most people felt nervousness and fear toward fighting and killing. However, people like Xuanyuan Po only felt excitement and yearning. To them, fresh blood was the best wine.

Bang!

The Senhai Giant Earthworm’s entire body was charred, emitting wisps of black smoke as it fell to the ground.

“How did you discover its vital spot?”

Wang Su felt curious.

“When it dodged Mistress’s sword attack, it clearly defended this spot.”

Xuanyuan Po explained.

“Defend?”

Lu Zhiruo blinked as she looked toward this corpse, her face filled with perplexity. “This large earthworm doesn’t even have hands, so how does it put on defense? And how could you tell?”

Xuanyuan Po shrugged. “It wriggled a little earlier.”

“Wriggled?”

Lu Zhiruo wasn’t the only one who couldn’t understand. It was the same for Xianyu Wei.

The former was stupid while the latter, despite being born with great strength, had too little actual combat experience.

“At the instant Mistress attacked it, it avoided getting hit where its heart was by wriggling.”

Jiang Leng explained.

“Teacher Sun, your personal disciples really have outstanding aptitudes!”

Wang Su praised, feeling a little envious.

Putting Xuanyuan Po and Jiang Leng aside, Ying Baiwu and Helian Beifang were also extremely outstanding. It was because when they had pounced toward the Senhai Giant Earthworm, they had also been aiming for the heart.

The large earthworm’s wriggle was very short, so almost everyone didn’t take any special notice of it. Therefore, this aspect was reliant on their aptitude.

“With these two students, Teacher Sun, you’re sure to get your 4-star title.”

Jin Mujie felt envious.

Over the next two days, the Central Province Academy’s group continued to move together. They also started to encounter all sorts of danger, with most of them coming from bugs.

In this forest, humans were insignificant as ants, with natural foes everywhere.

On the morning of the third day, everyone split up.

“I’ve figured it out. Everything in this forest is magnified.”

Xuanyuan Po was raring to go. “I want to catch a longhorn beetle as a mount. I wonder if it’ll work.”

“Aren’t you figuring out this too late?”

Tantai Yutang rolled his eyes. “Moreover, when longhorn beetles fly, they’ll spread their wings. Where are you going to sit on?”

The sickly guy knew that what Xuanyuan Po wanted was a flying ride.

“Teacher, where should we head next?”

Li Ziqi looked around.

This huge forest was endless like a green ocean.

“Zhiruo, you decide on the direction!”

Sun Mo instructed.

“Huh?”

The papaya girl, who was carving her name on a tree, immediately hid the small knife in her hand behind her back when Sun Mo called her name.

“I… I don’t know.”

Lu Zhiruo looked toward Li Ziqi, trying to ask for help.

If she were to pick the wrong direction, they might not be able to find any secret treasures. In more serious cases, they might face the threat of death. Lu Zhiruo wasn’t able to withstand such a pressure.

“Don’t look at others. You should be the one to pick the path.”

Sun Mo urged.

Li Ziqi gave the papaya girl a gaze of being unable to help.

“Stop dawdling. Hurry up.”

Sun Mo believed in the lucky mascot’s luck.

Mei Ziyu and Murong Mingyue had no objections. However, Li Ruolan, who went along with them, tugged Sun Mo’s sleeves secretly.

“Don’t act recklessly!”

The beautiful reporter reminded him, “Be more serious about this. Everyone is waiting to see your performance. If it’s too bad, your reputation will plummet.”

In Li Ruolan’s perspective, Sun Mo was too sloppy to let Lu Zhiruo pick the path.

“It’s not as if I’m living for others.”

Sun Mo chuckled.

Seeing that it was impossible for her to refuse this task, Lu Zhiruo had no choice but to do it. She broke off a one-meter-long branch, put it upright on the ground, pressing onto it with her right index finger.

“Daddy Heaven, I’m the child you like the most. Please tell me in which direction we should go.”

After saying that, Lu Zhiruo let go of her hand.

Pa!

The branch pointed in the 9 o’clock direction.

Lu Zhiruo then looked at Sun Mo, pointing in that direction with a cowardly gaze. She felt that she’d definitely get scolded.

“Will we be able to find secret treasures if we head in this direction?”

Yaoguang was licking a tanghulu and asked with interest.

“Huh?”

Lu Zhiruo looked embarrassed. “I forgot about that. Let me try again.”

The papaya girl then put the branch upright again.

“Daddy Heaven, in which direction should we go to find secret treasures? Please tell me. In the future, I’ll offer more incense to you during festive periods. I’ll offer a very thick kind of incense.”

Lu Zhiruo let go of her hand.

Pa!

This time around, the branch pointed in the 2 o’clock direction.

“This way!”

Lu Zhiruo pointed.

Xianyu Wei poked Helian Beifang’s arm. “Why do I feel that this isn’t reliable at all?”

“Let’s set off!” Sun Mo urged.

“You…”

Li Ruolan was speechless. (Aren’t you treating this too casually?)

But since Sun Mo had said the word, the others didn’t dare to raise any objections and went on their way.

The group continued to stop intermittently as they walked. When they encountered darkness medicinal plants or species of darkness, Sun Mo would explain what they were to the others.

One day passed by just like that.

“Sun Mo, do you want to win this or not?”

Li Ruolan couldn’t hold it in anymore. She was a reporter. The reason she followed Sun Mo was because she wanted to get explosive news, materials that could bring about a huge impact.

“Leave it to fate!”

Sun Mo was planning to use the dragon seeking pearl when the competition was almost over. He was going to use these few days to focus on training his students.

When it was close to noon, a series of combat sounds rang out.

“Sun Mo, let’s hurry up and take a look!”

Li Ruolan urged. Someone might have discovered a secret treasure.

“Let’s go!”

Sun Mo wanted to go loot-picking and led the group to the scene. He saw that a 20-men team from the Bozi Academy was jointly attacking a three-meter-tall huge ape.

There were five great teachers and 20 students.

When they saw Sun Mo, the teachers and students who were responsible for keeping watch of the surroundings immediately turned their blades toward him.

“Teacher Sun, please conduct yourself with dignity!”

A middle-aged great teacher spoke up, worried that Sun Mo would seize this huge ape.

“What do you mean by that?” Qin Yaoguang frowned.

“I apologize if I have misunderstood.”

The middle-aged great teacher threw a glance at the group behind Sun Mo and felt assured.

“Is this huge ape a magical species?” Xianyu Wei felt curious.

“It isn’t a magical species, but as it is very similar to humans, it can be used for testing medicine on. As long as it doesn’t show any rejection symptoms, then the medicine will be fine for humans too.”

Lu Zhiruo explained, “Moreover, its organs can be transplanted into humans.”

“Second Senior Martial Sister, you know so much.”

Xianyu Wei felt great admiration.

“Hehe, I’ve just read a few more books.”

The papaya girl scratched her head, feeling embarrassed. She tended to be more stupid and hadn’t been admired by her martial juniors before. This feeling wasn’t bad!

The middle-aged great teacher, Cui Xiangxin, sized up Lu Zhiruo.

Read a few more books?

Please, books that had information on that huge ape were very precious. Even in the Nine Greats, it wasn’t some information that everyone could have access to.

The people from Bozi Academy knew this information because of the 5-stars great teacher, Zou Qi. He had graduated from the Skyraise Academy and was an expert in species of darkness.

Why did Zou Qi not stay in the Skyraise Academy but chose to teach at Bozi Academy?

Firstly, it was because Bozi Academy paid a high salary and secondly, it was because he could take 80% of the things obtained from the Darkness Continent. He wouldn’t be able to get such a high offer if he was in the Nine Greats.

When one was at Zou Qi’s level, they would no longer view their place of employment with too high of importance. They wanted actual benefits to improve themselves.

As long as they got stronger, they’d be able to take their pick freely on which of the Nine Greats to head to.

“Teacher Sun, you don’t have a chance. The person leading the group is Zou Qi, a 5-stars great teacher. He has a great reputation as a pioneer.”

Mei Ziyu spoke to him softly.

Not all great teachers liked to teach; some liked adventures and pioneering better. They were responsible for the exploration of the Darkness Continent on behalf of the respective famous schools.

This 5-stars great teacher was clearly a major character in the Longevity Realm. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, giving commands in the battle while looking calm and composed, displaying a great demeanor.

“Leave!” Zou Qi spoke up with a hoarse voice that was filled with great pressure.

“Can’t we watch?” Xuanyuan Po retorted.

“Shut up!”

Buzz!

A golden halo erupted. It was Profound Words and it made Xuanyuan Po unable to speak up.

“Teacher Zou, is there a need to do this?”

Sun Mo frowned. He hadn’t displayed any hostility.

“Teacher Sun, if I’m not giving you face, I’d have shouted for you to scram.”

Zou Qi let out a cold snort.

That was true. The potential that Sun Mo had displayed was limitless. Zou Qi didn’t want to offend him or else he’d have lashed out long ago.

A 5-stars great teacher had this right and capability.

“Teacher Sun, you guys better leave!” Cui Xiangxin chuckled. “This huge ape is ours.”

“Let’s go.”

Sun Mo left.

After moving away for a few lis, Xuanyuan Po punched a big tree next to him, feeling upset. “Teacher, why don’t we fight them?”

“Is there something wrong with your head? That’s a 5-stars Longevity Realm major character. He can wipe us out entirely by himself.”

Li Ruolan was speechless.

“There’s no hurry. There’s still a long time before the competition ends. There are plenty of chances.”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched. It wasn’t that he didn’t dare to offend Zou Qi. But that huge ape didn’t even have the right to be listed on the mysterious darkness species list. Hence, there was no need to risk their lives for that.

The group continued their way, with things going on as usual in the day. But in the evening, Helian Beifang looked at the setting sun on the horizon, his brows furrowed tightly.

“Teacher, there seems to be big trouble.”

“What trouble?”

Lu Zhiruo came over. This junior martial brother was a person of few words and would definitely not say such things without any reason. “Did I lead the wrong way?”
