Chapter 1298 Below Saints, All Are Ants
In the secret chamber, the air seemed to have frozen and this caused everyone to feel extremely tense.
The two Starlords stared at the old headmaster After that, they rapidly circulated their energy and prepared to fight to the death.
“Two fruits that haven’t matured!”
The old headmaster shook his head with a look of disappointment as he headed outside. “You guys can leave!”
“Haha!”
The Daybreak Starlord laughed in anger. He had never been so disregarded before. Hence, he pulled out his sword.
Swish- Swish- Swish
The chamber was rampant with sword qi that shot toward the old headmaster.
However, the old headmaster didn’t act. He merely shot a glance over and those streams of sword qi froze. Half a second later, they were reflected back to the Daybreak Starlord.
The Daybreak Starlord’s expression drastically changed. As he hurriedly blocked, he also took the chance to retreat.
Experts could be seen the moment they acted!
This old headmaster was an enemy he couldn’t stand against
“Run!”
The Daynight Starlord roared. He unleashed the Sun Divine Fist Art to block the old headmaster as he rapidly retreated as well.
On the campus, the Corona Starlord was still fighting and he completely suppressed Secondary Saint s.h.i.+ and Secondary Saint Hu.
“Just concede, you guys are insignificant before me!”
The Corona Starlord laughed malevolently.
All of a sudden, he heard the Daynight Starlord’s shout and his expression became dumbfounded. (What the h.e.l.l?)
Why did they have to run?
Moreover, the voice of the Daynight Starlord seemed to be filled with immense terror?
(No matter what, you are a secondary saint that has seen many things before. Don’t you feel embarra.s.sed by your conduct?)
The Corona Starlord drove the two secondary saints back with a single blade attack. After that, he turned his head toward the direction of the Sorrowless Lake, but he soon discovered that his vision was trembling as a human figure appeared right before him.
“d.a.m.n!”
The Corona Starlord jumped in fright, but due to his prestige as an expert, he didn’t dodge. Rather, he took the initiative to slash out.
Pak!
The old headmaster stretched out his index and middle finger to catch hold of the sharp edge.
“You have to mature fast, there isn’t much time anymore!”
The old headmaster stared at the Corona Starlord like how one would look like a delicious meal. He then waved his right hand and the Corona Starlord felt a huge force slamming into him, causing him to involuntarily fly out.
“That old headmaster is actually so terrifying?”
The Daybreak Starlord fled out of the campus and involuntarily turned his head to look. After that, he halted and glanced at the sky.
It was Sun Mo and An Xinhui.
“What’s going on?”
Sun Mo had his wooden blade in one hand while a spirit rune handgun in the other. He stared suspiciously at the Daybreak Starlord. It felt like the Daybreak Starlord was being chased by a ferocious beast, and he was fleeing in panic for his life.
“If the other party has no ill intent, we best don’t take any action!”
An Xinhui reminded him.
Although the two of them were heaven chosen and had tyrannical combat strength, they were still not strong enough to fight against a Starlord.
“Sun Mo, you have to be careful of that old headmaster!”
The Daybreak Starlord had always felt a favorable impression from Sun Mo. His expression was solemn as he gave a warning, and then he left.
“Be careful of my grandpa?”
An Xinhui started before regaining her senses. She then cried out in surprise. “Could my grandfather have awakened?”
After saying that, An Xinhui no longer waited for Sun Mo. She circulated her spirit qi and flew toward the Central Province Academy.
In the campus, the Corona Starlord had already fled.
Secondary Saint s.h.i.+ and Secondary Saint Hu heaved a sigh of relief before they clasped their hands and bowed to the old headmaster.
“You guys have to quickly improve yourselves. Below saints, all are ants. You also won’t be able to understand the true logic of the world!”
The old headmaster nodded and turned to leave after a reminder.
“He’s already a Saint?”
Secondary Saint s.h.i.+ was curious.
“He doesn’t exude the aura of one. Naturally, it might be because he took the initiative to seal it so we can’t see through his strength. That should be the case or those Starlords wouldn’t be frightened away.”
Secondary Saint Hu felt that it might be because the old headmaster had been a vegetable for too long, and this led to his behavior being somewhat strange. This was understandable.
“Grandpa!”
A voice filled with surprise and happiness echoed through the night skies. After that, a figure descended from the sky and landed before the old headmaster.
“Grandpa!”
An Xinhui was so happy that she cried. After confirming that this was truly the grandpa that doted on her, she rushed headfirst into his embrace.
The body of the old headmaster stiffened a little. After that, he stretched out his hand and patted her back. “It has been tough on you, Huihui!”
A shallow smile appeared on the old headmaster’s face.
“Grandpa, you have finally awakened!”
It was as though An Xinhui had found a refuge. She then said all the words that had been hidden at the bottom of her heart for so long to the old headmaster.
“Mn!”
The old headmaster quietly listened. His gaze then landed on Sun Mo and he started surveying him.
It was unknown why, but Sun Mo felt that the old headmaster’s gaze was extremely piercing like it could flay his skin.
Sun Mo endured the discomfort in his chest and descended onto the ground before greeting the old headmaster.
“Not bad, not bad. You are a very talented great teacher. You have to continue to work hard!” The old headmaster encouraged Sun Mo. After that, he pushed An Xinhui away and spoke in a strict tone to her, “You are already an adult, don’t act like this ever again.”
“Oh!”
An Xinhui lowered her head.
“You guys still have work tomorrow. Let’s disperse!”
After the old headmaster finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the office.
Compared to home, he missed his office even more and he needed to understand the current situation.
On the second morning, Li Ziqi led her martial siblings to greet the old headmaster. After all, this old headmaster was their teacher’s senior and was also a secondary saint. The old headmaster surveyed everyone before nodding in gratification.
“Sun Mo is truly capable in teaching. All of you are good seedlings. Ziqi, you have to continue working hard and try to become a saint within 50 years!”
The old headmaster also did his best to praise the others, but he paid more attention to Li Ziqi.
It was only after leaving the office and walking a huge distance that Qin Yaoguang dared to speak. “What do you guys think of the old headmaster?”
“An amiable old man!”
Ying Baiwu thought about it. “He’s a little inflexible and isn’t good at expressing his emotions, I guess?”
“Ziqi, what do you think?”
Qin Yaoguang threw a sweet into her mouth as she continued to ask.
“I keep feeling that he has a very high expectation toward me and wants me to do my best to become a saint as fast as possible!”
Li Ziqi frowned. Such a feeling was very strange.
“There shouldn’t be a problem. If you become a saint, it would be an immense boost to the fame of both the Central Province Academy and the An Clan!”
Tantai Yutang a.n.a.lyzed.
“Zhiruo? Why are you not speaking?”
Qin Yaoguang glanced at the papaya girl. (You are suddenly so obedient that I thought your personality changed!) “I…”
Lu Zhiruo wanted to speak but hesitated.
“Just say anything you want to directly!”
Tantai Yutang urged.
“I…I don’t like Grandpa An, I feel he’s very weird.”
After Lu Zhiruo finished speaking, she lowered her head. The old headmaster had very high prestige and was very knowledgeable. He was An Xinhui’s grandpa and the personal teacher of Sun Mo’s father. Hence, she shouldn’t have evaluated him like this, but she had no idea why she couldn’t bring herself to like him.
“Weird in what way?”
Qin Yaoguang asked.
“Eh…” The papaya girl shook her head. “I’m unable to pinpoint the reason!”
“Don’t speak recklessly. Grandpa An is a senior. You can’t say such words no matter the occasion.”
Li Ziqi warned.
The Dark Dawn’s target was the Great Dream Heart Sutra, and they didn’t plan to kill or make this place descend into huge chaos. Moreover, because of the timely aid of the old headmaster, only a few people knew that a Dark Saint and three Starlords had been here earlier.
After that, the 1-star examination went extremely smoothly. Sun Mo did everything he had promised Su Taiqing. He didn’t allow anyone to use connections and also punished all examinees who cheated based on the Saint Gate’s rules.
The one with the greatest influence was the student from the Heavenly Mystery Academy. One must know that the Heavenly Mystery Academy was An Xinhui’s alma mater. But Sun Mo didn’t even give that student a chance.
For a time, rumors about Sun Mo’s strictness started spreading frenziedly. Some said that he was only acting so strictly for the sake of gaining Su Taiqing’s approval so it would be easier for him to join the Saint Gate.
Sun Mo was simply too outstanding. Everyone felt that by staying in the Central Province Academy, it was actually wasting his talent. In the future, he would surely obtain the position of the Saint Gate Sect Lord.
Half a month later, the exam ended, and they had a school meeting. As the vice headmaster, Sun Mo was currently speaking with the great teachers of the entire school. This time around, he used Divine Sight to recruit over 50 newly ascended 1-star great teachers.
They were all good seedlings and had shocking talent in certain subjects. Moreover, all of them had a chance to achieve a breakthrough to the ancestor level in the future.
“I’ve always felt that there are only two reasons as to why great teachers would resign. Either their salary is too low or they are unhappy at work.”
Sun Mo stood on a podium and after saying a few conventional words, he went straight to the point.
When the teaching staff heard this, they started before smiling and laughing. Sun Mo’s words were really accurate.
“Everyone is working so hard firstly because they have to feed their family. Dreams come after that. In the great teacher world, some great teachers have really lofty ambitions and aren’t greedy for money, willingly experiencing a life of poverty for the sake of obtaining some grand achievements. They could endure hunger, but what about their wives and kids?”
Sun Mo’s tone was sincere. “In our Central Province Academy, I don’t dare to speak about other things, but we will definitely pay sufficient salaries. Newbies can check with the seniors here about the treatment they receive from the school. There’s no doubt that the benefits here are the best, not inferior to the Nine Greats.”
“Headmaster Sun, you have given us more than enough.”
A young teacher with a more direct personality directly said.
“I know that our school pays well. But if this continues, will there be a financial crisis in the future?”
A teacher who just joined felt worried.
When they were recruited by Sun Mo, they already made the preparations to suffer because they felt that the treatment in the Central Province Academy would surely be inferior to the Nine Greats. Hence, they all chose to stay for the sake of learning from Sun Mo. However, they didn’t expect that the treatment here was so good that they almost felt that they had run into swindlers.
“Do you know how much money Vice Headmaster Sun’s patents earn per year?”
An old-timer explained.
Leaving aside those body refining medicinal packets or alchemy pills, just the income from the spirit rune instruments were enough to fill Sun Mo’s coffers. Also, the Central Province Academy had a huge private herb garden.
“The school will do its best to cater to all your worries. What you guys need to do is to focus on your professional career and climb higher!” As the sound of Sun Mo’s voice faded, intense applause rang out.
They weren’t fawning over him because they were truly impressed. Sun Mo’s personal charisma was definitely extremely strong.
Sun Mo spoke a few sentences more about his hopes for the new semester. After that, he concluded his speech. “Next, let’s invite Headmaster An up to say a few words!”
Just when An Xinhui wanted to stand, a fragrance that permeated the heart dispersed in the atmosphere, causing people that smelled it to feel extremely refreshed.
After that, the old headmaster stepped through the air, with lotuses blooming every step!
“S…saint?”
“Who is this old man?”
“He should be the old headmaster, right?”
All the great teachers were incomparably shocked. After that, their hearts were filled with joy. The Central Province Academy had an additional saint. Didn’t that mean that the great teachers here would be able to benefit?
In the future, if they had questions, they could consult secondary saints. If their questions weren’t resolved, they could look for the saints. Wasn’t this a little too good?
Lu Zhiruo stood in the crowd and frowned. She didn’t know why, but she felt extremely uneasy.
