Chapter 1336 Super Amazing Sun Mo, Self-Taught Halo!
“To… to think that there’s such an insider story?”
Tantai Yutang, who was always one to joke about things, was shocked.
They had stayed at the back earlier and couldn’t hear any sounds of fighting, so they had come over to find out about the situation. However, they didn’t expect to hear such a great secret.
Everyone was too astonished that they forgot how to reply.
“Sun Mo, you’ve heard the entire story too. Your father and I are both trying to think of ways to kill An Zaiyi. You should go and kill the rest.”
Ji s.h.i.+wen instructed.
“Kill?”
Sun Mo smiled helplessly. Those were all humans!
“I know that you can’t bear to do it, but if you don’t kill them, they’ll become food for the ‘G.o.d’!”
Sun Chuanming warned and then looked toward An Xinhui. “Xinhui, I watched you grow up. For the Nine Provinces’ sake, you should commit suicide!”
An Xinhui’s body trembled. When she was young, the person she respected the most wasn’t her father but Uncle Sun. It was because he was too amazing, achieving countless glory at a young age. He had been the brightest star in the Central Province Academy. However, he then fell in the Darkness Continent.
When An Xinhui heard this piece of news, she cried for a very long time and didn’t smile for three years. But now, after seeing the Uncle Sun she respected, she couldn’t feel happy about it.
“Grandfather, can’t… can’t we kill that G.o.d?”
An Xinhui cried.
“Heheh, Xinhui, one must know how to repay favor to people who recognize your worth. I went against ‘G.o.d’ multiple times, but it didn’t kill me. Therefore, I should repay it for its great ‘love’!”
An Zaiyi smiled in self-mockery and then looked toward Ji s.h.i.+wen and Sun Chuanming. “Kill me? You guys are too naive! You won’t even be able to block a single finger of mine!
“Regardless of what realm you guys are in, our powers aren’t at the same level!”
An Zaiyi’s heart was filled with grief. “Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn’t be able to grab it. Instead, it’d make ‘G.o.d’ lose faith in me once again. When that happens, I won’t have the opportunity to be the shepherd again, and the new shepherd will definitely enslave this world in an even more brutal way.”
“Headmaster An, can you give me some time?”
Sun Mo, who hadn’t had much chance to speak, spoke up.
“Please go ahead!”
An Zaiyi was very generous. It was because to him, time was already of no importance. No, the longer things dragged out, the better the situation was for him. It was because those monsters were handling the ‘ingredients’!
“Xianyu, give that to me!”
Sun Mo called out.
Xianyu Wei immediately dashed over. She had been carrying a super big backpack all this while, and it was filled with Sun Mo’s items.
Right now, Sun Mo took out a wooden rod that was one foot long and started to engrave spirit runes onto it with a dagger.
Everyone didn’t understand what Sun Mo wanted to do, but they didn’t stop him.
As the Nine Provinces’ most outstanding spirit runist, even Ji s.h.i.+wen had to admit that Sun Mo was unrivaled in the spirit runes domain.
“System, are you there?”
Sun Mo called out in his mind, but the system didn’t reply.
This caused him to let out a bitter smile.
“We’ve been together for so many years, so we should be considered friends, right? You left without a word, not even saying goodbye. Isn’t that too cruel of you?”
Sun Mo teased, but there was still no reply.
“The turtle sh.e.l.l that you left behind for me has the writing, ‘spirit runes save the world’. I finally understand what it means now!”
Other than this line, there was a story depicted using three-dimensional images. It spoke about a clan’s prosperity to extinction, and then how the survivors had gone on a journey where they fled for their lives.
Sun Mo had seen how strong this clan was, but to speak the truth, he didn’t feel anything about it. He had seen more amazing things in science-fiction movies in the past.
However, when he heard of the ‘G.o.d’ that An Zaiyi mentioned, he had a realization.
If he was right, this ‘G.o.d’ must have fled to the Nine Provinces on a s.p.a.cecraft or was a lucky survivor who had accidentally landed on the Nine Provinces.
No one would study the technology in science-fiction movies because they knew that those weren’t real. It was the same for Sun Mo. But now, the scenes he had seen in the past started to appear before his eyes.
Why was it that people would forget about the saints who had been eaten?
Why was it that the shepherd would always be able to accurately identify which ‘sheep’ had matured and become a saint?
Why was it that An Zaiyi could be so strong that he could deal a saint an instant kill?
It was because great teachers were labeled the instant they were born, with shackles put onto them.
“Headmaster An, if my a.n.a.lysis is correct, the Self-Taught Halo is actually an energy shackle, right?”
Sun Mo shook his head and smiled. “To become a great teacher, one must gain enlightenment to the Self-Taught Halo, which represents that you have the talent to gain enlightenment to great teacher halos. But what no one knows is that it is a signal receiver. At the instant one gains enlightenment to it, the shepherd will ‘set their sight’ on them.”
“That’s right. The Self-Taught Halo’s effect is even more powerful than you imagine it to be!”
An Zaiyi admitted, “Through it, I can ‘manage and deal with’ sheep in any way I want.”
The way An Zaiyi crushed saints instantly was through the Self-Taught Halo’s shackle.
“So that’s how it is. I’ve felt for a long time ago that this thing wasn’t normal, but I couldn’t figure out where the problem was!”
Ji s.h.i.+wen was struck with a realization.
“Whether a civilization is powerful or not comes down to the way they make use of energy. Lighting a fire to cook? Burn spirit qi? They are too low cla.s.s!”
An Zaiyi said in disdain.
“Then what about now?”
As Sun Mo spoke, he suddenly activated the spirit rune rod he had just finished engraving and then tossed it out!
Baboom!
A light-blue arch-shaped magnetic field exploded. When it quickly pa.s.sed through everyone’s bodies, they instantly felt that their bodies were a lot lighter.
“How is that possible?”
An Zaiyi, who had remained composed all this while even when facing the hostility from several saints, revealed an astonished expression for the first time. It was because the shackles on these sheep had been removed.
“Nothing is impossible. Spirit runes are also a way to make use of energy, and what I excel in the most is the study of spirit runes!”
Sun Mo shrugged.
“Haha, I was right to have set my sights on you!” Ji s.h.i.+wen laughed loudly. “An Zaiyi, do we have the right to challenge you now?”
“You do!”
A hint of admiration flashed in An Zaiyi’s eyes.
Sun Mo was outstanding enough!
“May I ask what led you to thinking that the problem is on ‘Self-Taught Halo’?”
An Zaiyi was curious.
“People often neglect things that they are used to!”
Sun Mo felt emotional. “Everyone needs to gain enlightenment to the Self-Taught Halo before they have the right to become great teachers, and then they will all pursue gaining enlightenment to even more great teacher halos. This has become a common thing. However, teaching and nurturing people shouldn’t be a right exclusive to ‘great teachers’.
“Doesn’t a top-notch craftsman with both morals and skills have the right to teach as well? Are they not worthy of being called ‘teachers’? Just like the saying, ‘there’s always one who can be my teacher in a group of three’, order isn’t important, and the one who achieves greater success would be the teacher. How much we respect a teacher shouldn’t be based on how many great teacher halos they have!
“Great teacher halos should be a reinforcing ability and not a decisive factor!”
Sun Mo finally found the reason why he had always felt that things seemed awkward.
It was because people were too focused on the pursuit of great teacher halos!
Everyone said that great teacher halos couldn’t be learned and that they could only gain enlightenment to obtain them. However, Sun Mo had obtained great teacher halos from the system directly.
Thinking back, with the actual Sun Mo dead, the current Sun Mo whose soul had transmigrated hadn’t really gained enlightenment to the Self-Taught Halo. However, he could still use various great teacher halos.
“Sun Mo, you’re too outstanding! You’re really suitable to become the shepherd!” An Zaiyi praised, “As a reward for dissolving the Self-Taught Halo, you have the right to raise a condition!”
“I want to go meet that G.o.d!”
Sun Mo said this casually but didn’t expect An Zaiyi to agree.
“Alright!”
An Zaiyi’s disdainful gaze swept across everyone. “It won’t be just you. I’ll bring everyone in this divine hall to the battles.h.i.+p. However, it’ll be up to your capabilities to be able to meet ‘G.o.d’. Of course, the few saints can stay behind!”
“Sun Mo, we’ll leave that G.o.d to you guys! The two of us will be the ones to kill An Zaiyi!”
Ji s.h.i.+wen gathered his power. Even without the restraints of the Self-Taught Halo, he and Sun Mo’s father might still not be able to win against An Zaiyi.
“Xinhui, go on. Take a good look at this world. As for your choice in the future, you can decide for yourself!”
After saying that, An Zaiyi’s spirit qi suddenly sent out an invisible force field. When the force field swept past a person, the person would disappear.
In an instant, the hall that was filled with the sounds of fighting became quiet.
“Alright, it’s our turn now!”
An Zaiyi looked toward Ji s.h.i.+wen and Sun Chuanming with confidence. “The two of you can attack together!”
Even though An Zaiyi had agreed to his request, Sun Mo was still scared that this might be a scam. Therefore, he took precautionary measures, but it was useless.
When the force field swept by, Sun Mo’s vision turned black. Moreover, when he opened his eyes once again, he discovered that he had appeared in a big, s.p.a.cious hall.
This hall was the size of ten football fields, and the walls and floor were made from metal. There were no hanging lights, but it was bright like a sunny morning. He even seemed to be able to smell the scent of wild flowers.
“Where is this place?”
“An illusionary realm? Or have we been teleported?”
“What the h.e.l.l are those monsters? Why is there no end to killing them?”
The survivors of the Nine Greats’ great teacher groups were all teleported here at the same time. At the beginning, they still had their guards up, but they quickly put down their wariness.
After all, the people here were all considered to be on the same side.
However, everyone quickly felt nervous again.
It was because the people from the Dark Dawn and the dark famous school were also teleported here.
“Has the leader dealt with An Zaiyi?”
The Daybreak Starlord accessed the surroundings curiously. “Probably so?”
Bai Xiqing a.s.sessed the surroundings, wanting to ascertain where this place was. As for the hostile gazes around them, she didn’t care about them at all.
It was because as the Moonshadow Starlord, she had this level of confidence and dominance!
“Teacher Bai is also a Dark Dawn’s Starlord?”
Lu Zhiruo was astonished. Wasn’t this woman her teacher’s fan?
“Huh?”
Bai Xiqing looked over in the direction of the voice. When she saw Sun Mo’s group, she instantly felt awkward and could only explain, “Whether I’m a Starlord or not should have no relation to my admiration for Sun Mo, right?”
