Fang Duanwu felt very uneasy. He heard that the invigilators this year had a higher star rank than the previous years. In that case, their experience and knowledge would definitely be higher as well.
If he cheated, the chances of being discovered would definitely be higher.
For a very long period of time, Fang Duanwu was conflicted about whether he should participate in the great teacher examination or not. If he didn't cheat, there was an 80 to 90% chance that he wouldn't be able to pass. But if he didn't go, his seriously ill mother wouldn't be able to last until next year. Also, even if it was next year, he might not be able to pass the examination with his own strength.
It was all the Saint Gate's Sect Leader's fault. Why did he have to make the examination so difficult?
In the end, Fang Duanwu, who treated his mother as the sky and the most important person in his life, decided to participate in the examination. He felt that if he became a 1-star great teacher, his mother's happiness might be boosted and her illness might be cured.
Even if he couldn't, if his mother saw him becoming a 1-star great teacher in the final days of her life, she would be able to smile in the underworld. After all, this was her greatest wish.
Hence, Fang Duanwu decided to cheat.
The most mysterious occupation in the Nine Provinces was none other than the art of spiritual control.
Although the parasites in Nanyue were very dangerous, there were traces to be found. No matter how mysterious the parasites were, they were still a type of living creature. However, spiritual beasts were different.
There were all sorts of strange things in the world.
Fang Duanwu came from a poor family. In order to treat his mother's illness, he had to go deep into the mountains to gather medicinal herbs. One time, he found a jade pendant beside a lake in the forest. He thought that he was going to strike it rich, but who knew that there was a remnant soul residing in the jade pendant.
It was the soul of an 8-star master teacher, and he had lived three thousand years ago. Due to a moment of carelessness, he had accidentally fallen into a lake and drowned to death.
Fang Duanwu felt that this fellow was lying. An 8-star great teacher was an expert. How could he die in such an ordinary manner?
But very quickly, the remnant soul proved that what it said was not false. Under its guidance, Fang Duanwu, who was originally just a poor child who had not even attended a private school for a few days, began to learn to read and write. Those who could read also grew up.
This caused Fang Duanwu's mother to be extremely happy. She felt that the heavens were showing mercy and that the ancestors had shown their spirit. As Fang Duanwu's fame grew, everyone in the surrounding villages knew about him. She felt that her son was a dragon among men and would do great things in the future. Hence, her expectations for him grew higher and higher.
"Uncle Soul is an 8-star master teacher. He shouldn't have been noticed, right?"
Fang Duanwu secretly raised his head and glanced at the three invigilators in the classroom. He realized that they did not see Uncle Soul, who was floating in the air and watching others answer their questions. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"It's settled this time."
Fang Duanwu let out a sigh of relief.
Uncle Soul floated back to Fang Duanwu's side and taught him how to answer the questions.
"Why do you want to see other people's answers? You're an eight-star. These questions shouldn't be difficult for you, right? "
Fang Duanwu was puzzled.
"I only want to see what standard the newcomers in the great teacher world are at."
A ghost-like Uncle Soul stroked his beard. "Also, don't underestimate the judgment of the examiners. These questions with fixed answers are the same no matter who answers them, but for those subjective questions, I can't answer them in the style of you youngsters."
Even if Uncle Soul tried to hide it, he could still be discovered. After all, he was an old ghost from three thousand years ago. That was why he had to look at other people's questions and write an answer that matched the current era and Fang Duanwu's age.
"Have you seen it?"
Fang Duanwu felt a little anxious, worried that he didn't have enough time.
"Yes. Don't worry, I guarantee that you'll be able to stay in the Central Province Academy, but you won't stand out too much."
Uncle Soul smiled confidently. Just when he was about to answer the question, he suddenly felt as though he was being stared at by someone. He subconsciously inclined his head and looked toward the three examiners.
They didn't discover him!
After that, Uncle Soul looked outside the window. An overly young great teacher was looking at him.
At that instant, Uncle Soul felt as though he had fallen into an ice cave. The other party's gaze was so cold, emotionless, and filled with unhappiness and reproach.
(Was I seen?)
(That shouldn't be the case!)
(I'm in a soul state now!)
Uncle Soul was very weak now. If a great teacher saw him and wanted to capture him as a slave, he wouldn't be able to do anything at all. Luckily, he cultivated the Thoughtless Reincarnation Scripture, a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. It could allow him to transform into a wisp of a ghost in the world, jumping out of the three realms and out of the five elements. Naturally, he wouldn't be noticed by others.
But what was going on with this young man?
Uncle Soul noticed that there were three examiners behind him. All of them had blank looks on their faces. Clearly, they didn't see him.
"Maybe I'm scaring myself?"
Uncle Soul lowered his head and told Fang Duanwu a few answers. When he lifted his head again, he discovered that the young man with a very high status was still looking at him.
(It's over, he can really see me.)
"What's wrong?"
Fang Duanwu also looked outside the window.
"You're not allowed to look around!"
The examiner berated, causing Fang Duanwu to quickly lower his head. After that, he discovered that Uncle Soul had floated away. This caused him to panic. He wanted to call out to someone, but he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
It was because an examiner walked to his side.
...
The three examiners were so anxious that their foreheads were filled with sweat. They couldn't tell what was wrong with that student. After that, they heard Sun Mo's low voice.
"Scram out of the examination venue!"
Who was Teacher Sun talking to?
The examiner didn't feel that Sun Mo was crazy.
"This examination is very important to him. How about you pretend that you didn't see him?"
Uncle Soul tempted. "Naturally, I won't let you help for free. I'll give you a peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art."
"Scram out!"
Sun Mo repeated.
"Brat, you..."
Uncle Soul had wanted to say that Sun Mo should know what was good for him. A peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art was very precious and could be considered a family heirloom. However, when he saw the stars embroidered on Sun Mo's school emblem, he was stunned and almost bit off his tongue.
One star!
Two stars!
...
(My heavens, am I seeing things?)
Eight stars?
This brat is an 8-star great teacher? Half-step secondary saint?
It can't be, right?
Look at this brat's face. He looks so young that he's only in his twenties, yet he's already a 3-star great teacher. He's worthy of being called a genius!
"How old are you?"
Uncle Soul subconsciously asked.
"I'm Sun Mo!"
Sun Mo introduced himself.
"Who?"
Uncle Soul blinked. This name was so familiar. Wait a minute, wasn't this the name of the number one great teacher in the Nine Provinces that everyone was talking about?
"You... you are Sun Mo?"
As expected, he was young and promising!
Sigh!
Uncle Soul suddenly had an awkward look on his face. It was said that Sun Mo had grasped two peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts, yet he had actually used a heaven-tier cultivation art to bribe him. He was truly overestimating himself.
"Go and tell him to scram out of the examination venue!"
Sun Mo's tone was ice-cold.
"He has his own difficulties!"
Uncle Soul explained.
"He can cheat just because he has his difficulties? In that case, can he kill someone even if he has his difficulties? "
Sun Mo didn't like such sophistry. "This is unfair to the other examinees."
"He's doing this for his mother."
Uncle Soul explained very quickly. Actually, he knew that Sun Mo was already very humane.
The normal operation of the invigilator was that they wouldn't say any nonsense and would directly pull out the examinee who cheated and announce it to the entire examination venue to serve as a warning to others. At the same time, they would also strip the examinee of his qualifications to take the examination. This meant that if the cheater was caught, he could forget about becoming a great teacher for the rest of his life.
This time around, Sun Mo clearly felt that Fang Duanwu was still young and was only 18 or 19 years old. He still had a lot of time and didn't wish to completely cripple Fang Duanwu's life.
Sun Mo's brows furrowed so tightly that they could clamp a crab to death.
"Teacher Sun, you should also know that 1-star great teachers are just small shrimps in the great teacher world. They are existences at the lowest level. So what if we give him the title for free?"
Uncle Soul begged. Even if a scammer wanted to cheat, he should at least give himself the title of a 3-star great teacher. It was because 1-star really wasn't enough.
"Moreover, the descendants of those aristocratic clans can cheat and get 3-star or 4-star great teachers. So what if Fang Duanwu gets 1-star?
"I guarantee that we will only get an average result. It won't affect anyone."
After Uncle Soul said that, he directly gave Sun Mo a 90-degree bow, begging him to give him a way out.
Sun Mo turned his head and looked at Fang Duanwu who was in the examination venue. He then activated Divine Sight.
His various statistics were mediocre, and his talent was ordinary!
"You're harming him by making him a great teacher. He doesn't have this talent!"
Sun Mo advised.
"If you don't try, who would know the final result? Do you really like to deny the lives of others so much? "
Uncle Soul's tone was unhappy.
"That's not a denial. I just don't want him to waste his time and life in this industry."
Sun Mo looked at this remnant soul. "I've always believed that everyone is unique and has talent in a certain aspect. As long as you find it, you'll be able to make a name for yourself."
Uncle Soul fell silent. No matter what, he was an 8-star great teacher and had a lot of experience. Hence, he could tell that Sun Mo wasn't lying. What was even more exaggerated was that Priceless Advice had activated.
Golden light spots suddenly erupted from Sun Mo's body, splattering into the lecture theater. Some examinees noticed this.
"Let's leave this place first. Don't disturb them."
Sun Mo headed straight for the stairs.
The three examiners hurriedly followed, feeling puzzled in their hearts. Who was their teacher talking to?
It couldn't be a ghost, right?
"Can't you make an exception?"
Uncle Soul asked.
Sun Mo shook his head.
"I admit that there's some logic to what you said, but you're not even willing to help a mother fulfill her dying wish?"
Uncle Soul questioned, "This is called a white lie. Also, don't tell me that you've never lied before?"
"Firstly, his mother might not die. Moreover, he still has a chance to save himself. Just like what you said, if he becomes a top-notch great teacher in the future, the 1-star great teacher examination today will be his dark history and will destroy him."
Sun Mo retorted.
"If you don't say it, who would know?"
Uncle Soul was really f * cked up. (Why can you see me?)
Sigh!
He just had to encounter such an amazing examiner this year. He was really unlucky.
"Go and get him to leave the examination venue. Then, use the fastest time to bring his mother to the Central Province Academy. I'll think of a way to cure her!"
Sun Mo instructed.
Uncle Soul felt joy in his heart. Given Sun Mo's status, even if he couldn't cure Fang Duanwu's mother, he could still find a Medical Saint to treat her.
"Let Fang Duanwu take the exam to obtain a great teacher certificate. He got it by cheating. Does he have the face to flaunt before his mother?"
Sun Mo sighed.
