Chapter 1021: Surrounded By Many, The New Noble in the Great Teacher World!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Zhou Xingtong and Liang Hongda attacked in rage, going all out. The other great teachers spontaneously guarded the doors and windows.
They weren’t going to allow this murderer to escape.
The maid couldn’t withstand the impact and could only stand there in a daze. Fortunately, Sun Mo was quick and pulled her wrist, dragging her out of the room.
Otherwise, as an ordinary person, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the great spirit pressure. Her internal organs would be severely damaged.
“Thank you! Thank you for saving me!”
The maid finally reacted and with a plop, dropped to her knees and kowtowed to Sun Mo.
Right now, other than gratitude, she was also feeling strong admiration.
Although she couldn’t fully understand Sun Mo’s deduction, he looked too cool when talking confidently and smoothly in front of a bunch of major characters.
(That’s right, that dark great teacher was also caught by Three-time Champion Sun.)
Sigh!
(Even if I go through another ten lifetimes, I still won’t have the right to get married to a man like Great Teacher Sun, right?)
The maid felt very sad inside.
(This is all because I’m a servant!)
Sun Mo didn’t notice the maid’s feelings. He was complaining to the system.
“You’re really ruthless. Aren’t you afraid that I’d be assassinated?”
Sun Mo had to give it to the system.
This time around, the Divine Sight had failed again. It wasn’t able to display information on the fungus type and spores. It was even more impossible for it to search for the traitor.
Sun Mo had to rely on himself to work things out.
“If you were to die, it’d only prove that you aren’t outstanding enough. In that case, I’d have no choice but to look for a new host.”
The system was emotionless.
“This means that I can’t trust you?” Sun Mo smiled coldly. “Thank goodness you didn’t give me wrong information!”
“Do you only get that now? You can only trust the knowledge you’ve learned.”
The system didn’t show any signs of being ashamed at all.
“I’m just a system and I work hard in supporting you to become a wonderful great teacher. However, I can make mistakes too or even use some means to spur your growth. Therefore, no matter what help I provide you with, you need to think it through. Call your own judgments, then eventually decide on whether you want to use it.”
“Since you’re a system, you weren’t created out of nothing, right?”
Sun Mo felt curious. “Who created you guys?”
“The host’s level is too low and so I won’t reply to you!” The system’s voice was icy cold. “Work hard to raise your level. After you become a saint, all the mysteries will be resolved!”
After saying that, the system fell silent, not paying Sun Mo any heed.
However, Sun Mo couldn’t care to continue asking questions anymore. It was because the fight in the room had ended.
After the short-haired great teacher received two palm strikes from Zhou Xingtong, he was smashed in the head by Liang Hongda’s punch. He then shattered into a lump of black fog, which dissipated in the room.
“Spiritual control technique?”
Liang Hongda frowned.
“That doesn’t look like it. It seems to be some kind of dark secret art?”
Zhou Xingtong focused and listened quietly. He then swung a punch in the air, feeling displeased that the enemy had fled.
The great teachers gave chase but didn’t see any traces of the dark great teacher.
“Teacher Sun, since you know about this type of spore, don’t you have the means of treating it?”
Divine Doctor Feng gritted his teeth in pain.
As a doctor as well as Zhou Xingtong’s old pal, he had naturally run over to the bed at the instant Zhou Wenbin cried out in agony. As he was too close, he was splashed with the most liquid after the pus exploded.
Zhou Xingtong was next. Right now, their faces were horrendous, covered in densely packed bumps, like the back of a toad.
They looked extremely disgusting and could cause someone with trypophobia to be scared to death on the spot.
“Teacher Sun, can you give us prescriptions to try regardless if they are useful or not?”
“Can you help us to stop the itch first?”
“F*ck his mom. If I were to catch that guy, I’d definitely tear him up into pieces.”
The major characters no longer had any restraints and composure. All of them were asking Sun Mo for help amidst the curses.
No one would believe it if Sun Mo were to say he didn’t know how to treat it.
There were several grandmaster-level alchemists, botanists, herbalists, and even divine doctors here. However, no one knew what Zhou Wenbin’s condition was.
However, Sun Mo had even managed to analyze the enemy’s interlocked stratagems. And this was all reliant on his vast knowledge base.
Sun Mo didn’t wish to help. He naturally wished to see the Zhou Clan down in luck.
After all, with Zhou Wenbin’s life saved, Sun Mo would be able to get the favor from them. Moreover, it was quite an enjoyable event to see his opponents suffer.
“There’s no way to cure these spores. They are like smallpox. After getting it, one will have a lot of marks left on their bodies. It’s for sure that these spores will hurt the skin, but my Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands has the miraculous effect of removing scars. You guys can come to the Central Province Academy to look for me later.”
Sun Mo was actually scheming against these people.
Thanks to the darkness encyclopedias, Sun Mo knew a few types of medicinal herbs that could cure the lingering poison from this type of spores. However, he didn’t wish to tell them.
The power behind these major characters could find these herbs quickly, and in that case, his favor would be reduced to just providing a solution.
This wouldn’t do!
Sun Mo wanted to get the biggest share of the pie.
Therefore, he would let these major characters go to the Central Province Academy to seek treatment.
(I will use my ancient massaging technique to help you recover your appearances and maybe even become more handsome. You guys will have to return this great favor, right?)
(Aside from material presents, they then have to conduct a few classes at the Central Province Academy, right?)
He could just drag out the treatment, getting them to stay at the Central Province Academy longer. As they stayed on, they’d eventually become one of his people.
“That’s right, that’s right! We’ve all forgotten about your God Hands!”
All the major characters heaved a firm sigh of relief. It was fine as long as they wouldn’t become uglier.
Thereafter, their attitude toward Sun Mo took a big turn.
There was no helping it. Whether they’d look good or bad in the future would all be dependent on Sun Mo.
This was why they said that ‘when you eat food offered by others, you’ll be unable to speak honestly.’ ‘When you take things from others, you’ll end up being soft-hearted.’
“Teacher Sun, can your Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands really change one’s appearance?”
A slightly uglier major character asked hesitantly.
“En.”
Sun Mo smiled and nodded with certainty.
“Then can you alter my appearance?”
The major character looked at Sun Mo with anticipation in his gaze. “I’m not greedy! I don’t need to be too handsome! It’ll be fine with just 70% of your looks!”
Swoosh!
Everyone immediately looked at him with contemptuous gazes.
(This isn’t greedy? If someone has half of Sun Mo’s good looks, he will be considered a little handsome, and women will hanker for him.)
“Do it for me too! I only want 50%!” Liu Xu spoke up.
“40% for me!”
“30% for me!”
All of the major characters fought to book a slot for cosmetic surgery. They also expressed in an indirect way that if Sun Mo or the Central Province Academy were to encounter any problems, he could come to look for them.
“Have you guys had enough?”
Liang Hongda spoke up, glaring at everyone. “Can’t you guys let Sun Mo sit down and talk? It’s so tiring to be standing!”
Even though Liang Hongda addressed Sun Mo directly by his name and not as Teacher Sun, this wasn’t him trying to keep his distance but to act on friendlier terms. When he said Sun Mo’s name, it was like he was calling a nephew in his family.
“If I were to look for a portrait, could you help me change my looks accordingly?”
Liang Hongda asked secretly.
Sun Mo was stunned. (As expected of the vice sect lord, he knows about custom-made things. Other people only want to alter their appearances a little, but you’re thinking of changing your face?)
“Yes!” Sun Mo wore a troubled expression. “But it takes a lot of time and energy. I’ll have to do it over ten times.”
If it wasn’t difficult, how could he show that this was an amazingly great favor?
“It doesn’t matter if it takes a little longer or if I have to go through some hardship. The main thing is that I can look good in the end!”
“That’s right. We’re all over 100 years old. We can afford to wait a few years.”
“I’m not greedy. Just help me get rid of my wrinkles and give me double eyelids!”
These major characters started to chat happily around Sun Mo, crowding around him.
At the sight of this scene, Zhou Xingtong was conflicted about giving Sun Mo a gift to express his gratitude. In the end, he decided to be generous about it.
“Teacher Sun, thank you for rendering your assistance!”
Zhou Xingtong smiled and said, “Please bring your ears closer, I’ll impart you with the Ten Thousand Miles Movement.”
Swoosh!
All the major characters present hushed and looked at Zhou Xingtong with stunned expressions. (Have you gone crazy? You’re giving such a great gift to express your gratitude?)
Ten Thousand Miles Movement was an inferior-grade saint-tier movement technique.
However, even though it was just an inferior-grade cultivation art, it was pretty amazing since it was at the saint tier. To think that Zhou Xingtong was going to give it away?
But after everyone gave more thought to this, they understood why.
Sun Mo had saved Zhou Wenbin’s life. Moreover, there was a high chance that they’d have to trouble Sun Mo for his help in the future.
Zhou Xingtong could pay no heed to his looks, but what about Zhou Wenbin?
As the planned successor to the clan, having a toad-like bumpy face would definitely cause others to feel disgusted toward him even if they didn’t dare to voice it out in public.
Moreover, given the Zhou Clan’s background, they still had more amazing saint-tier cultivation arts. Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Miles Movement was just a movement technique.
In the great teacher world, attacking cultivation arts generally had a greater value than movement techniques, non-attacking cultivation arts, as well as various dark secret arts.
Take Xuanyuan Po’s Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique for example. In the students’ eyes, it was better than the Wind King Divine Art.
Of course, the most important thing was that after Sun Mo accepted such a valuable gift, he’d naturally have to bury the hatchet with the Zhou Clan, becoming friends with them.
Things like getting Secondary Saint Zhou to apologize mustn’t be brought up again.
This was considered to be paying to avert a disaster.
An inferior-grade saint-tier cultivation art in exchange for a secondary saint’s reputation should be quite worth it.
Therefore, if Sun Mo were to accept the gift yet kept on harping on the matter of how Secondary Saint Zhou had refused to take Li Ziqi as his disciple, other people would say that Sun Mo was extremely greedy and insatiable.
“As expected of the head of a great clan. Zhou Xingtong is killing three birds with one stone!”
All the great teachers were in praise.
Even Liang Hongda was shocked by Zhou Xingtong’s decisive generosity.
Although he knew that there were many great benefits in giving out the Ten Thousand Miles Movement, it was still a saint-tier cultivation art after all. To many people, it was something that could be passed down as a family heirloom.
Therefore, Liang Hongda felt that if he was in Zhou Xingtong’s shoes, he wouldn’t bear to do this.
“This shows that the Zhou Clan definitely has better saint-tier cultivation arts.”
Liang Hongda sighed. A secondary saint’s clan really had a strong background.
Sun Mo didn’t say anything but looked toward Zhou Xingtong.
“Teacher Sun, don’t just stand there. This is an opportunity that’s hard to come by!”
A great teacher persuaded, wanting Sun Mo to accept the perk first.
“Teacher Zhou’s gift is too precious. Please pardon me for not being able to accept it!”
Sun Mo kept his hands behind his back. “Moreover, you don’t have to mind this. The reason I saved Wenbin isn’t because he is the great grandson of a secondary saint. Even if he were just a passerby, I’d still lend a helping hand.”
His words sounded very noble, but no one took them seriously.
Sun Mo should try to refuse instead of accepting it readily. Otherwise, it’d reflect him as being too greedy and anxious. It wouldn’t be good for his image.
Zhou Xingtong knew about this as well and thus tried to persuade him again.
“Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Your helping hand is worthy of a great gift. We, the Zhou Clan, just want to extend our gratitude.”
Zhou Xingtong felt upset. (I’m the one giving the gift, but yet I look as if I’m currying up to him. This feels so low! This is a saint-tier cultivation art I’m offering. Who wouldn’t care for it? If I were to throw it out, half of the great teacher world would fight for it even if it cracked their heads.)
“If there are any changes to Wenbin’s condition, you can come to look for me.”
Sun Mo couldn’t be bothered with the useless talk.. After saying this, he turned and left the courtyard.
