"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
The system decided to be a coward and admit defeat.
There was no solution to it. It was worried that Sun Mo would settle scores with it in the future. After all, it had said something it shouldn't have.
"Wait a minute, when are you going to hand over the 100 great teacher halos?"
Sun Mo mocked.
(Who asked you to look down on me? Are you afraid now?)
"Eh, did I say that before?"
The system chuckled, feigning ignorance.
"There should be one, right?"
Sun Mo also knew that it wasn't realistic to want 100 great teacher halos. Hence, he took a step back and said, "Even if it's the most useless one, give me one too!"
"Alright then!"
The system sighed.
Ding!
"Congratulations on inventing a spirit rune that can allow one to fly, obtaining a world-renowned achievement and becoming a true ancestor spirit rune master. You are hereby rewarded with one great teacher halo!"
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining a great teacher halo and having a meteoric rise. Please continue to work hard."
The system replied.
"Wait a minute, why is it meteoric rise?"
Sun Mo frowned. "Are you messing with me?"
(I can already fly, yet you are still giving me this?)
"If you don't want it, you can return it!"
The system felt very wronged. "Do you think I want to give it to you? Moreover, the number of great teachers who have comprehended this halo in the Nine Provinces is extremely few. I reckon that there won't be more than ten. "
"So few?"
Sun Mo was surprised.
"If one wants to comprehend meteoric rise, they must satisfy three conditions. Firstly, this great teacher must have a lofty aspiration and broad horizons. What he sees isn't a corner of the world or the present, but the world and the future."
"Secondly, he must have extraordinary talent and be proud of his achievements. He must have experienced what it means to ascend to the heavens in a single step and be blessed with endless glory!"
"Thirdly, he must have imagination. He must be unwilling to be restrained by the earth and want to soar above the nine heavens!"
The system explained.
In truth, if one wanted to comprehend such an obscure halo, the brain of a great teacher wouldn't be that of an ordinary person. They must be arrogant and heroic...
They must be able to recite the spirit of being able to go up to the nine heavens to pluck the moon and dare to go down to the five oceans to catch turtles. They must be able to recite the spirit of laughing to the heavens. They must be able to laugh to the heavens and walk out. They must be able to be as magnanimous as the birds flying high and the clouds drifting away leisurely.
The mentality and state of a person who was able to walk to the heavens couldn't be understood by others.
"You know what? I won't sell this halo at all. It's useless even if you take out 10 million favorable impression points. But now, you got it for free. Aren't you grateful to me? "
The system felt wronged.
"Rest in peace!"
Sun Mo waved his hand.
The system wasn't wrong. Such an obscure great teacher halo would definitely not be sold. However, Sun Mo had already invented flying spirit runes.
One could say that even if the Soaring Azure Cloud was a great treasure, it was useless to Sun Mo now.
Sun Mo also knew that Li Ziqi and the others must be anxious from waiting. Hence, he called out.
"Come in!"
Bang!
The Calabash Brothers couldn't wait any longer and rushed in.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Qin Yaoguang shouted, "Do you need anything to eat?"
In the next instant, she shut her mouth and stared dumbfounded at the floating piece of paper on the table.
"Teacher!"
The others greeted him obediently.
"Teacher, what did you invent?"
Lu Zhiruo immediately rushed to Sun Mo's side and squatted down beside him. She inclined her head and blinked her big eyes at him, acting cute.
Her junior martial sister Yaoguang had said that as long as they did this, they wouldn't be punished.
When Lu Zhiruo was in seclusion, she had also heard from Li Ziqi about the secret of the silver box. If one failed to open the lock, they would be sealed for over 100 years.
This almost scared the papaya girl to death.
"Teacher, this is..."
The others were more attentive and noticed the spirit rune paper in the blink of an eye.
"This is the invention I've made during the past month or so!"
Sun Mo smiled. "How is it?"
At this moment, Sun Mo was confident and proud. As a teacher, he had to be proud of his achievements. Otherwise, what qualifications did he have to teach these outstanding students?
This spirit rune was completely his own work. Moreover, in the history of the study of spirit runes, it was a masterpiece that could be ranked in the top ten.
There was no reason for Sun Mo to not be proud.
"What spirit rune is this?"
Lu Zhiruo stretched her head out to take a look. She was a little stupid and didn't react to what it was. However, Li Ziqi, Qin Yaoguang, Tantai Yutang, and Jiang Leng all had astonished looks on their faces.
"This... this can't be a flying spirit rune, right?"
Tantai Yutang let out a dry laugh and stared at Sun Mo. At the same time, he added in his heart. (If that's the case, my teacher would surely cause a commotion in the Nine Provinces.)
Yes, it wasn't just the spirit rune world. It was the entire Nine Provinces.
Although the sickly invalid didn't like the study of spirit runes, he had a wide range of knowledge and had studied some books before. He knew that in the spirit rune world, there was no existence of flying spirit runes.
"Yes!"
Sun Mo's confident tone caused the Calabash Brothers to draw in a cold gasp.
"Ah?"
Lu Zhiruo cried out in surprise, her face filled with joy. "Then if I tattoo it, will I be able to fly?"
"You can levitate and do some movements that aren't too intense. If you're too impatient, you'll lose your balance and fall."
Sun Mo explained.
"That's still very powerful."
Qin Yaoguang praised.
The others quickly nodded.
This was not a compliment, but true worship.
Allowing humans to fly and conquer the sky was a huge achievement!
"Teacher, can … can I try?"
Xian Yu Wei raised her hand.
She was a grassland girl and worshipped freedom the most. She usually liked to ride wild horses and gallop.
"Let Jiang Leng do it!"
It just so happened that Sun Mo wanted to test the effect of the spirit rune.
Among these Calabash Brothers, Jiang Leng was the most reliable. Even if something happened, given his intelligence, he'd be able to handle it.
Ying Baiwu and Xuanyuan Po were secondary. Tantai Yutang was also fine, but his body was a burden.
Very soon, Sun Mo drew a flying spirit rune on Jiang Leng's chest.
"Slowly inject spirit qi and pay attention to the balance. If you feel uncomfortable, immediately cut off the spirit qi!"
Sun Mo instructed.
Because it was a temporary spirit rune, its performance wasn't too stable.
Jiang Leng drew in a deep breath. As he channeled spirit qi into the spirit rune, a faint blue glow lit up in front of his chest. After that, his entire person gradually floated up.
"Wow!"
Lu Zhiruo covered her mouth.
The other students were also relatively excited.
This was Jiang Leng's first time using a flying spirit rune and he wasn't too familiar with it. His head bumped into the ceiling and then floated up and down like a soap bubble.
"Can't you do it faster?"
Qin Yaoguang's lips twitched. "If this is the case, there's no meaning to it!"
"It's fine as long as it can fly. Why do we still need a wheelbarrow?"
Tantai Yutang retorted.
Yaoguang basically didn't understand that any invention had to start from scratch, from simple to mature. It was impossible to succeed in a single step.
Now that it could float, given her teacher's talent, he would be able to create a flying spirit rune that could be used in battle three years later.
"How do you feel?"
Sun Mo asked.
"My chest feels warm. Mn, I also feel a little dizzy. I don't feel any sense of security."
As a land creature, it was true that they would feel a little nervous if their feet couldn't step on the ground. They would always stretch out their hands to grab onto something to maintain their balance.
Li Ziqi was a competent assistant. She immediately took out her notebook and started to record.
She would occasionally interject to fill in the gaps Sun Mo had missed out.
...
In the study, Bai Wenzhang, who was working, was distracted.
What kind of impressive spirit rune was Sun Mo researching exactly? It actually made him enter seclusion for over a month?
He really wanted to know!
"Teacher, what spirit rune did you invent in the past?"
Xiao Feng brewed tea and asked with a smile on his face.
"Didn't I tell you not to ask about it?"
Bai Wenzhang frowned.
"But we're curious. Also, Teacher Cui and Teacher Yan Sui have asked me a few times in private. They feel that I'm being selfish and don't treat them as my own people."
Xiao Feng bitterly smiled.
"If they ask you again, just tell them that I've given that spirit rune to Sun Mo. Also, tell them not to disturb Sun Mo."
Bai Wenzhang was unhappy.
Although this wasn't the first time he heard this, Xiao Feng still felt so jealous that he wanted to cough up blood.
Why did you give it to Sun Mo?
I'm your personal disciple!
I'm the one who will take care of you in your old age. Sun Mo?
Can he do it?
"Then can you at least tell me a name?"
Xiao Feng took a step back.
"Don't ask anymore."
Bai Wenzhang berated.
"Headmaster, Sun Mo has exited seclusion!"
A servant had been guarding outside Sun Mo's guest room according to Bai Wenzhang's orders. When he discovered that Sun Mo had exited seclusion, he would immediately report to him.
"That's great!"
Bai Wenzhang was overjoyed. He stood up and walked out.
Xiao Feng followed closely, but when he was over 50 meters away from the guest room, he was stopped by Bai Wenzhang.
"All of you stay here. Without my instructions, no one is allowed to come near."
Bai Wenzhang was worried that Sun Mo's invention would leak out.
As for him, he didn't enter immediately. Instead, he stood over ten meters away from the door and greeted politely, "Teacher Sun, good afternoon!"
"Dean, please come in!"
The other party had given him the spirit runes of the spirit runes cannon and even wanted him to take over the management of the Dragonspirit Manor. Hence, Sun Mo had nothing to hide.
Bai Wenzhang entered the guest room. Just when he wanted to say something, he froze.
Because Jiang Leng was still floating in the air.
"This is …"
For a time, Bai Wenzhang didn't dare to believe this.
"They're flying-type spirit runes!"
Sun Mo smiled. "I still have to thank you for giving me that silver box. The golden puppet inside has given me inspiration!"
"Ah? You opened the box? "
Bai Wenzhang was astonished.
Wasn't this too fast?
"My disciple opened it."
Sun Mo passed the metal puppet to Bai Wenzhang.
"Who is it?"
Bai Wenzhang was astonished. It seemed like Li Ziqi wasn't the only outstanding disciple among Sun Mo's disciples.
"It's her!"
Sun Mo patted Lu Zhiruo on her shoulder.
"I … It was a coincidence!"
Lu Zhiruo didn't dare to claim credit.
"Don't be humble. Luck is also a part of one's strength."
Bai Wenzhang encouraged. After that, he lowered his head and inspected the metal puppet. "This should be a product of some ancient civilization. It can fly?"
"It should be, right? However, I only saw it flying for over ten seconds. "
Sun Mo told Bai Wenzhang about how he connected the flying puppet to the flying-type spirit rune.
During this period of time, Sun Mo had been wanting to make the metal puppet fly again, but it didn't react.
"Your observation skills are really meticulous."
Bai Wenzhang was impressed. He looked at Jiang Leng. "What is it called? Isn't the name 'flying-type spirit rune' a little too lame? After all, this is an invention of the Founding Era! "
