Chapter 919: New Mission!
Translator: Lordbluefire
In the life of a human, it would already be an extremely fortunate matter if they could have two or three heartfelt friends.
So, Sun Mo cherished this friends.h.i.+p with Gu Xiuxun very much. After all, this m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t was the first friend he made after he came to the Nine Provinces.
“Quickly say what’s up with the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture? How did you obtain it?”
Gu Xiuxun was so curious that she could die.
Sun Mo gave a rough summary. In any case, this couldn’t be considered a secret.
“Four Symbols Starlord? Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves? Oh my heavens, you actually managed to survive despite facing such enemies? Isn’t your luck a little too good?”
Gu Xiuxun was dumbstruck.
Those few major characters in the Dark Dawn would definitely cause a storm of blood in the great teacher world every time they took action.. There would be countless casualties.
“What do you mean by good luck? He simply regards me too highly.”
Sun Mo sighed. “There’s a mysterious gu-bug being planted in my body. I have to either submit to him to get the antidote or just wait for my death.”
“What?”
Gu Xiuxun was shocked. Her face immediately turned pale as she caught hold of Sun Mo and surveyed him attentively.
“Don’t touch me. Who knows whether the gu-bug is infectious or not?”
Just after Sun Mo finished speaking, Gu Xiuxun threw a punch at his stomach.
“What sort of person do you take me to be?”
The m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t was very angry. Moreover, she showed no intention of wanting to leave Sun Mo.
“Sorry.”
Sun Mo felt very painful around the stomach area where he was punched, but he also felt very warm in his heart.
In the modern world, there were many infectious diseases. If you told your friend you had one, they would definitely step backward and try their best to avoid interacting with you. After all, everyone would instinctively want to protect themselves.
One must know that Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves was one of the three saints of the Dark Dawn. His ranking was only second to the BOSS. A gu-bug planted by a hegemon like that would absolutely be extremely dangerous.
However, Gu Xiuxun didn’t shun him. She was fully supportive instead.
“Have you told this to Sis Xinhui?”
Gu Xiuxun was very worried. She then gazed around the surroundings and warned in a soft voice, “In the future, don’t tell this matter to anyone else.”
“Hehe, things are not so exaggerated.”
Sun Mo wasn’t familiar with this gu-bug, but he could actually judge that it wasn’t infectious.
What ident.i.ty did Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves have?
If he wanted to accept a personal student or recruit a great teacher to join his circle, his requirement for them would surely be extremely high. Ordinary geniuses wouldn’t enter his eyes at all.
Gu Xiuxun’s emotions immediately sank.
“Don’t be worried. I will resolve this gu-bug myself.”
Sun Mo consoled her.
“Mn!”
Gu XIuxun nodded but she didn’t harbor any hope. This was after all something cast by Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves.
Sigh~
(Why was Sun Mo so unlucky to antagonize this type of major character? No way, I have to think of a solution for him. If Sun Mo dies, it will surely be a huge loss for the great teacher world.)
Ding!
“Mission issued: Please resolve the problem of the gu-bug within your body within a year. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with 1x great teacher halo.”
“Note: You are not allowed to seek help from Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves.”
The system’s voice rang out in Sun Mo’s ears.
“Wow, is it real?”
Sun Mo was somewhat shocked. This was the first time the system gave such a clear reward. This also described how in danger he currently was.
“Can you put the duration as two years instead?”
Sun Mo made a small request.
“I actually want to give you more time, but the gu-bug wouldn’t permit it. A year later, if you cannot dispel it, you will become Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves’s puppet.”
The system was also very helpless.
“Huh? Puppet?”
Sun Mo frowned.
“Yes. Through my a.n.a.lysis, you would then become a lifeform resembling a zombie that will obey all of Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves’s commands.”
The system could scan the host’s body any time it wanted to.
“I might as well die.”
When he thought of how he would have to be controlled by others, Sun Mo immediately grew annoyed. (F*** this. Teng Wanye, just wait for me.)
(This daddy will make you clean my chamberpot every day or I will change my surname to yours.)
…
Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun entered the headmaster office.
“What’s the matter?”
An Xinhui noticed that Sun Mo’s countenance was somewhat unsightly and asked, “Did you not have a good sleep?”
“I’m fine.”
Sun Mo drew in a deep breath and calmed his emotions. He then squeezed out a smile. “I heard Dong He saying that the ‘C’ graded school tournament wasn’t held yet this year? What’s the matter?”
The graded school tournament would be held at the end of every year.
It just so nicely clashed with the timing of the 3-star great teacher examination. So, Sun Mo definitely wouldn’t be able to make it, and An Xinhui also went to partic.i.p.ate in the 4-star great teacher examinations. Hence, their target was very simple. It was good as long as they didn’t fall back to the ‘D’ grade. But who knew that the school tournament wasn’t held at all.
“I actually only wanted to tell you about this after you rested for a few days.”
An Xinhui poured tea for Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun. “This time around, our luck was really good.”
Two months ago, the Yong Province had suddenly encountered a huge flood that had not happened in a hundred years. The aqueducts at the rivers and water channels burst and flooded several towns, causing several millions in casualties.
The Royal Dragon Academy was very unlucky and was directly submerged. As for the Bozi Academy, although they were built on higher terrain and managed to avoid a calamity, because the refugees all rushed into the Tan Province, they had no choice but to stop lessons and give it their all to help the disaster victims.
Helping with disaster relief was the responsibility of all famous schools.
If the Central Province encountered a flood, the Central Province Academy definitely would organize rescue teams to rush to the disaster areas.
The Royal Dragon Academy was the first ranker in the ‘C’ grade and the Bozi Academy was the third ranker in the ‘C’ grade. Because these two schools needed to help in disaster relief, they definitely wouldn’t be able to partic.i.p.ate in the ‘C’ graded school tournament.
This meant that they would be eliminated and descended to the ‘D’ grade.
However, they were doing acts of kindness.
Hence, the Saint Gate decided to postpone the school tournament and get the famous schools nearby to do their best to help the victims.
Right now, the disastrous situation was already under control.
Since that was the case, the school tournament could continue.
And the return of Sun Mo, An Xinhui, and Jin Mujie was undoubtedly considered a huge boost to the Central Province Academy’s capability.
“Little Momo, maybe it is because of your decision to join the Central Province Academy, but our school’s luck during these two years has really changed for the better.”
An Xinhui stared at Sun Mo. Her heart was filled with grat.i.tude.
“Don’t be careless. If I didn’t remember the information wrongly, there are 72 ‘C’ graded schools but only 5 can advance to the ‘B’ grade, right?”
Sun Mo frowned.
One must know that all famous schools of this level were very strong with foundations of over a hundred years.
“At the very least, we won’t fall back to the ‘D’ rank!”
Although An Xinhui appeared confident when she spoke, in actuality, her highest request was for them to maintain their grade. After three more years of tempering, it would still be considered a good result if they could ascend to the ‘B’ grade.
One must know that there were only 36 ‘B’ graded famous schools. The number of name slots was too few. If you wanted to squeeze inside it and stay within, it would be as tough as ascending the heavens.
For example, the Royal Dragon Academy and the Bozi Academy, both could crush the Central Province Academy if they encountered it.
The apt.i.tudes of their students weren’t on the same level.
After all, they would surely be bringing their schools’ high-year students to partic.i.p.ate in such a compet.i.tion. Because the Central Province Academy had been suppressed by the Myriad Daos Academy for quite a long while back then, their supply of high-year students would surely not be as good.
“Do you know the content of the compet.i.tion?”
Sun Mo wasn’t too optimistic.
“No idea!”
An Xinhui shook her head. “But according to the news from the grapevine, the compet.i.tion is postponed due to the flood. Hence, the Saint Gate wants to shorten the duration, or the work schedule next year would be disrupted. If that’s the case, there will surely be a change to the compet.i.tion content.”
“If the compet.i.tion content is something everyone has never partic.i.p.ated in before, wouldn’t we have a chance then?”
Gu Xiuxun’s eyes brightened.
