Chapter 842: Switching From Arrogance to Deference
Winter had arrived on the gra.s.sy plains, and all plants and flowers withered away.
When Sun Mo woke up in the morning, he saw a vast expanse of whiteness on the campus. Everything was covered in a layer of sparkling frost as though the heavens sprinkled salt on everything.
As Sun Mo headed out, he blew a breath of air at his hands.
His breath immediately turned into mist.
However, Sun Mo wasn’t feeling cold at all.
This was the good point about cultivators. Because they had powerful physiques, even if the weather was bitterly cold, they wouldn’t feel any discomfort.
Upon reaching the Longevity Realm, cultivators wouldn’t even need to eat anymore. At that point, they could survive by absorbing the spirit qi of heaven and earth. The little bit of energy contained within food was insignificant to them.
Naturally, there would always be a desire for good food. If they ate, it wouldn’t be to fill their tummies. Rather, they would eat to enjoy the taste of delicacies as it was a type of mental joy.
Even so, Longevity Realm experts would rarely eat food because no matter how delicious the delicacies were, there were too many impurities within and such things were disadvantageous to cultivators.
Either they ate high-quality alchemy pills or delicious medical cuisine. That was then the best method.
“Good morning, teacher!”
Xianyu Wei had been waiting since long ago. After greeting, she obediently followed behind Sun Mo like a little puppy.
It was just that this puppy was a little fat.
“Sun Mo!”
Mei Ziyu was already at the Dragon Subduing Palace’s entrance. When she saw him, she waved her hands.
“Ziyu!”
After Sun Mo spoke, the middle-aged man responsible for the teleportation gate immediately ran over and smiled before they exchanged words.
“Good morning, Great Teacher Sun!”
The middle-aged man bent his knees and completely ignored the fact that he was more than a decade older than Sun Mo.
“Oh, the previous guy was changed away?”
Sun Mo’s lips curled.
“That d.a.m.nable idiot offended Great Teacher Sun, so the management naturally made him scram far away.”
The middle-aged man smiled.
Sun Mo shrugged and didn’t mind the fawning. “The alchemy pill we gave previously was enough to grant us three months’ worth of entry.”
Right now, Sun Mo had confidence. If this fellow dared to charge them recklessly, he would explode his head. But after seeing the att.i.tude of the new gatekeeper, he didn’t seem like an idiot without brains.
“Teacher Sun must be joking, how would I dare charge you? By coming to the Dragon Subduing Palace to temper yourself, this is an honor to all the teachers and students of the school.”
The middle-aged man’s mouth was like honey. His words were very sweet.
What a joke, this young man before him was a genius great teacher that broke the school record. His combat was definitely worthy to be observed. If he dared to accept money from this teacher, the logistics head would definitely crush his b.a.l.l.s.
Oh right, he also heard that Sun Mo’s knowledge of spirit runes was extremely profound and he could already teach in a 500-pax cla.s.sroom.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from pa.s.serby ‘A’ +200. Friendly (500/1,000).
“Great Teacher Sun, please.”
The middle-aged man led the way.
“You don’t have to be so polite.”
Sun Mo gave him a standard societal smile.
“It’s Teacher Sun!”
“d.a.m.n, I’ve waited for two days and Teacher Sun is finally here. This time around, I’m going to spectate until I have enough.”
“Teacher Sun, challenge the unlimited mode!”
Outside the teleportation formation, many students were there and at this moment, all of them immediately gathered over when they saw Sun Mo. They bowed respectfully and sincerely pleaded.
They were all poor students and needed a long time to earn a single spirit stone. Hence, only when they saw someone fighting the draconic humans or encountered a major situation would they come and spectate the battle.
“Great Teacher Sun, many students entered the Draconic Human Great Hall during these two days, and the atmosphere was too noisy. If you want to fight the draconic humans, the experience would surely not be good. Do you want me to seal the teleportation formation?”
The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
“Oh, this can be done?”
Sun Mo was surprised.
“Other great teachers naturally wouldn’t have this authority, but you do. The logistic department head and vice headmaster Murong has instructed me to help you achieve the best experience here.”
The middle-aged man explained.
This was clearly an expression of good will. At the same time, it also showed the magnanimity of the Dragon Subduing Academy. If not, as an outsider that broke the record, their first reaction would be to forbid him to enter, so there would be no way for him to interact with the ancient giant dragons and obtain valuable knowledge.
“Wow, Teacher has so much face!”
After hearing the middle-aged man’s words and seeing his modest att.i.tude, as well as the looks on the faces of the students in the surroundings who all came here for the sake of Sun Mo, Xianyu Wei suddenly felt very fortunate.
The others wouldn’t even be able to see her teacher in combat if they went around begging, but as for herself, she could listen to his teachings before him.
The main thing was she hadn’t even paid a single copper coin for him to take her on as a student.
(Boohoohoo, I’ve committed an offense.)
(Teacher, don’t worry. I will definitely give you the best and grandest burial. I will buy the biggest tomb for you in the future and plant many trees so you can rest in the shade.)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Xianyu Wei +100. Reverence (18,900/100,000).
“Don’t need to seal it.”
Sun Mo wanted to head to the Giant Dragon Great Hall, and those who didn’t achieve 36 kills wouldn’t be able to enter. Hence, the people there wouldn’t be a lot. Besides, even if he wanted to fight the draconic humans, given his status, the area around him would surely be vast and s.p.a.cious despite the other areas being packed to the brim.
“I’ll solemnly obey your instructions!”
The middle-aged man bowed and looked at Sun Mo’s back. He maintained his bowing position until Sun Mo vanished after entering the teleportation formation.
“Teacher Sun is here!”
Someone immediately discovered Sun Mo the moment he entered the Dragonroar Great Hall.
That person then immediately shouted in a loud voice.
Zeng! Zeng! Zeng!
No matter what the students were doing, all of them stood up immediately and gave a respectful bow as they greeted him.
“Teacher, good morning.”
“Good morning, Teacher Sun!”
“Teacher Sun, have you eaten?”
Even those great teachers that Sun Mo wasn’t acquainted with also took the initiative to greet him.
Sun Mo replied to them one by one. Honestly speaking, such a scene would easily cause one to feel complacent and proud. After all, his strength had received recognition. But there were simply too many people greeting him to the point where he felt it was a little like an annoyance.
Some of the students were too weak and they weren’t able to enter the Draconic Human Great Hall. Hence, they could only drool with envy as they looked at Sun Mo’s disappearing silhouette.
(Sigh! We can’t watch Teacher Sun’s outstanding performance.)
“Teacher Sun, do you want this area?”
A great teacher who was currently fighting against the draconic humans took the initiative to give the place up for Sun Mo.
“Teacher Sun, use this area instead.”
“Use my area, the draconic humans here are easier.”
“What a joke. Teacher Sun has broken the record, why would he care if the draconic humans are easier to fight against or not?”
The other top students were also acting modestly, trying to make Sun Mo have an impression of them.
To students who had their hearts solely focused on cultivation and were chasing after the Longevity Realm, they wouldn’t care even if Sun Mo was a great ancestor-level spirit runist. But things were different now.
Sun Mo had broken the record and used over ten types of cultivation arts. This indicated that not only did he have outstanding talent in cultivation, but he also had vast combat experience and unique insights. If a teacher like this could give them pointers, they would definitely benefit a lot.
Not far away, a couple was currently surveying Sun Mo.
“Do you want to go over and consult him?”
Meng Gang asked in a low voice. Although he was a man, he would always follow his girlfriend’s opinion.
“What do you think?”
Qiu Li rolled her eyes and directly walked over. “If we don’t grasp this chance, wouldn’t we be idiots?”
“…”
Meng Gang was speechless. (Back then, Teacher Sun took the initiative to speak to us, but you didn’t want any connection with him and rejected him because you didn’t want to offend Wanyan Zhenghe, alright?)
“Move quickly, why are you standing there in a daze?”
Qiu Li urged.
