Chapter 1106: Unstoppable Flaunting!
Translator: Lordbluefire
“Host’s authority is too low, the information is cla.s.sified!”
The system’s voice was as cold and emotionless as ever.
“How high must my authority be before I can know it? When I become a saint?”
Sun Mo was unhappy. “Other than using this excuse to fob me off every time, do you have any other excuses?”
“Yes, after you become a saint!”
This was the first time the system gave him a clear target. “At that time, I will tell you about the system’s origin and why you were chosen to become a host!”
“What if I don’t become a saint?”
The saints in the Nine Provinces were so rare that they could be counted on one’s fingers. Even with the system’s a.s.sistance, Sun Mo didn’t feel that he could succeed.
A saint wasn’t something the Saint Gate could test for. It required one to reach a certain heart state. It was an acc.u.mulation of knowledge, life, and experience before the combination of these factors formed a qualitative transformation.
Even secondary saints, who had made sufficient preparations, wouldn’t dare to guarantee that they would succeed in breaking into the saint realm.
It was truly too difficult to become a saint.
“I will kill you and search for a new host!”
The system wasn’t threatening him. It was simply saying a very ordinary fact. “I admire you very much. So, don’t disappoint me.”
“…”
Sun Mo understood. Either he became a full-fledged saint or he died on the path of becoming one. Wanting to just be a secondary saint and relax until he died?
The system wouldn’t permit this.
“Speaking of which, is there a method to break away from the control of the system?”
Just when this thought flashed past his mind, Sun Mo hurriedly discarded it. This was because he had no idea whether the system could spy on his thoughts or not.
“Alchemy pills?”
w.a.n.g Chuan’s eyes brightened.
Among his genius ancestors, some had wanted to perfect the Nine Desolation True Dragon Art. They had also thought of using special environments to dispel the scorching true dragon force in their bodies.
Cold ponds, icy lakes, ice caves, even the extremely rare and precious cold-jade bed and constructing a cold chamber used for cultivation…
They tried all of this before, but the effect wasn’t good enough.
If there was an alchemy medical pill that could boost its effect, it would be perfect.
(Wait a minute. Where did Sun Mo learn the Nine Desolation True Dragon Art from?)
w.a.n.g Chuan’s countenance turned unsightly. After all, this was a family heirloom. If Sun Mo knew this…
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The bell signaling the end of the cla.s.s rang.
“Everyone, the public lecture today ends here!”
Sun Mo returned to the rostrum.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
Warm applause rang out boomingly.
This lecture truly caused everyone to broaden their horizons. They also felt that they didn’t get enough yet, wanting nothing more than for Sun Mo to continue lecturing. These were everyone’s feelings.
Sun Mo’s hands waved down, indicating for everyone to keep quiet.
All 500 people in this large cla.s.sroom instantly fell silent.
Such rallying force caused all the major characters to frown as heavy expressions appeared on their faces.
This indicated that Sun Mo had used his teaching ability to convince everyone.
This was somewhat impressive.
“I believe many people have learned of the purpose of my visit to the Black-White Academy. There’s no mistake. I plan to recruit some graduate students to the Central Province Academy, and my goal is to forge the Central Province Academy into a supreme-tier famous school that’s not in any way inferior to the Nine Greats.
“Naturally, we also welcome great teachers to come and teach!”
Sun Mo’s smile was very relaxed. He didn’t feel any hint of the awkwardness the crowd was feeling.
“As for salaries, as long as you guys dare to request, I will dare to accept! In any case, if you join the Central Province Academy, not only will we satisfy all your material requests, but we will also make sure you are satisfied mentally.
“Thanks, everyone!”
Sun Mo left but the people in the cla.s.sroom were still silent.
Several people knew that Sun Mo came here to recruit graduate students, and they felt it was okay if this was done in private. Everyone would have a tacit mutual understanding. But Sun Mo actually said it out publicly? Didn’t that mean he didn’t place the Black-White Academy in his eyes at all?
Or in other words, wasn’t he placing the Central Province Academy at too high of a pedestal?
“Teacher Sun probably would have to return empty-handed this time around.”
Tang Qian felt heartache for Sun Mo.
“Yeah, even if everyone’s brains were damaged, they wouldn’t give up the chance to remain at our school to head to the Central Province Academy!”
Zhang Guoping sighed.
Sun Mo’s lecture was very well-spoken. However, water would always flow downward, and humans would always aspire to climb to a higher place. This logic was unchanged since the beginning of time.
Everyone was discussing the lecture and didn’t leave immediately. This was because they were still pondering over Sun Mo’s lecture. Hence, now that w.a.n.g Chuan suddenly rose from his seat and rushed out to chase Sun Mo, it was extremely conspicuous.
“Teacher Sun, please wait!”
w.a.n.g Chuan strode vigorously forward and caught up to Sun Mo.
At this moment, many students were gathered in the corridor. They were here because they had unexpectedly discovered that Sun Mo was lecturing here and decided to stop to listen in.
“Do you have something you need?”
Sun Mo smiled.
In public, one definitely had to maintain their composure.
“My humble surname is w.a.n.g and my given name is Chuan. Sun-laos.h.i.+ can just address me as Teacher w.a.n.g.”
w.a.n.g Chuan gave a self-introduction.
“Teacher w.a.n.g!”
Sun Mo mentally mused that these two words were simply tyrannical when placed together.
“I wish to ask Teacher Sun if you have read the Nine Desolation True Dragon Art before?”
After w.a.n.g Chuan finished speaking, he stared at Sun Mo fixedly. He wanted to judge whether Sun Mo was lying through his expressions.
“Yes!”
Sun Mo’s heart state was magnanimous, so he couldn’t be bothered to conceal this.
Si~
When the people in the surroundings heard this, everyone was shocked. They then subconsciously glanced at w.a.n.g Chuan.
Although he had guessed this result, now that he personally heard it, w.a.n.g Chuan felt a little unable to accept this. For a time, he was extremely depressed and panicky.
“Teacher w.a.n.g, if there’s nothing else, I will leave first as I still have to prepare for my next lecture.”
Sun Mo didn’t want to say more.
“Wait a minute, might I be so impudent as to ask if the version you learned is the complete one?”
w.a.n.g Chuan felt some antic.i.p.ation. It was like when he was young, he saved up money to buy a gift and was standing under a willow tree to wait for the girl he loved.
“I didn’t learn it!”
Sun Mo shrugged.
“Why?” Before w.a.n.g Chuan could speak, someone already blurted.
(It’s a peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art, yet you actually didn’t want to learn it? Is your brain filled with s.h.i.+t?)
Sun Mo smiled and didn’t reply. He then turned to leave.
(I look down on cultivation arts of this level! What I cultivate is the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art and the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. Those are the Skyraise Academy and Dragon Subduing Academy’s ultimate divine skills.)
(Also, I can learn An Xinhui’s Great Dreams Heart Sutra any time I want to!)
(Even if the Nine Desolation True Dragon Art of your clan was the complete version, I would have no interest.)
w.a.n.g Chuan’s countenance flickered. He then relaxed, but he also felt disappointed. There was a hint of unwillingness in his gaze.
(This is the absolute ultimate cultivation art pa.s.sed down in my family, something that we treat as a treasure, yet you actually disdain learning it? How arrogant must you be?)
“Why didn’t he reply?”
Several people were curious.
“Sun Mo’s martial prowess is said to be exceedingly strong. Besides, it’s said that he possesses several peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts.”
“That’s right, his disciples just obtained #1 and #2 in the personal students battle of the recent 4-stars examination.”
“d.a.m.n, he’s so impressive?”
Everyone was stunned.
…
The Black-White Academy’s arrangements were very considerate. They prepared a resting room for Sun Mo.
“Teacher, congratulations on you achieving success in a single move!”
Li Ziqi pa.s.sed a teacup over. “Do you want to drink a mouthful of water to moisten your throat?”
Not only did she and Lu Zhiruo attend Sun Mo’s lecture, but they had even recorded the whole process so they could review it with relish in the future.
“I can only be considered successful if I manage to recruit some people!”
Sun Mo furrowed his brows.
It was definitely insufficient if he depended solely on his personal charm. It was still best to talk about dreams and pay enough money.
“How’s the information I asked you to check?”
Sun Mo got the little sunny egg to check on the most outstanding people in the Black-White Academy’s younger generation. He was preparing to try his luck with them.
“There are two who are considered the strongest ones. Bai Fu was born with a retentive memory and also possesses Telepathic Understanding. No matter what she learns, she can understand them with a single hint immediately.”
Li Ziqi took out a notebook and pa.s.sed it to Sun Mo. “However, it was unknown why she started neglecting her self-improvement and teaching these two years and is writing a book every day!”
“Writing a book?” Sun Mo frowned. “She’s a young woman that’s into the arts and culture?”
“I think so?”
Li Ziqi couldn’t be sure. This Bai Fu was rarely seen in public, and she had no chance to personally observe her.
“It’s very hard to deal with people like this. Also, it’s fine to read books, but why is she into writing one?”
Sun Mo was speechless. “Doesn’t she know that writing books is a path that leads to a dead-end?”
“Teacher, it’s easier to handle things because she’s into culture and art. Just write the second half of [Journey to the West] and she’s guaranteed to become your fan and follow you away!”
Lu Zhiruo suggested.
She felt that the [Journey to the West] was a G.o.dly book. It was extremely fascinating to read.
Sun Mo rolled his eyes at Lu Zhiruo. [Journey to the West] and [Romance of the Three Kingdoms] were books that guys loved to read. If one wanted to conquer a female who was into the arts and culture, they had to write something like [A Dream of Red Mansions].
“Help me to find out more information on Bai Shuang!”
Sun Mo instructed. If this girl was truly that impressive, Sun Mo didn’t mind writing out the first half of [A Dream of Red Mansions].
“Mn. The second person is Song Huigen. In the recent one-year plus, he spent all his energy contemplating the Black-White Star Disk. It’s said that he wants to go against the heavens and control his own fate.”
Li Ziqi smiled and her eyes turned into the shape of crescent moons. “Teacher, why don’t you go and unravel the secret of the Black-White Star Disk?”
“Don’t speak such words recklessly, it’s very easy to draw hatred,” Sun Mo reminded her. “However, the recruitment work is almost done. We can go and take a look!”
Because this was the first day of his lectures. Sun Mo’s schedule was not so tightly packed. His second lecture was arranged at 2 p.m.
This was to let Sun Mo have enough rest so he wouldn’t screw up.
…
Tang Qian had no interest in spirit runes and simply wanted to look at Sun Mo more. So, after lunch, she immediately came to occupy a seat, but she discovered that the cla.s.sroom was already full.
“What’s going on?”
Tang Qian was unhappy.
“These students all have to leave later!”
Zhang Guoping knew that the commotion of Sun Mo giving lectures had thoroughly erupted. So, these people came on account of his fame.
Indeed, after 1 p.m, more and more great teachers arrived and their star ranks were so high. How would these students still dare to sit down? They immediately stood up and let the teachers take their seats.
And when Sun Mo entered upon the bell ringing, he discovered that this place was filled to the brim.
Many teachers even stood behind.
Students?
Sorry, they were not qualified to be present.
“…”
Sun Mo was speechless. (Don’t you guys need to give lectures?)
However, he didn’t mind it. (Gaining favorable impression points from one person and two has no differences.)
“For this lesson, we will be talking about spirit runes.”
Sun Mo took out a ‘circuit board’ spirit rune and pasted it on the blackboard.
Hua~
Everyone was in an uproar.
Everyone had basically used spirit runes before and roughly knew what they were. But what the h.e.l.l was this spirit rune taken out by Sun Mo?
The spirit rune he pasted on the board was different from ‘traditional’ spirit runes. The lines were either vertical or straight and there were no curves. It looked extremely bizarre, but it also exuded a different sense of beauty.
“Is there anyone who can tell me what spirit runes are?”
Sun Mo asked.
No one replied.
Although Sun Mo was famous for his G.o.d Hands, no one had seen them before. But as for spirit rune knowledge, ever since the Skyward Spirit Rune appeared, he was publicly acknowledged as the #1 person in the field of spirit runes.
Before such an ancestor, no one dared to even breathe loudly.
