The entire place fell silent. Everyone's gazes landed on Sun Mo, wanting to see how he would reply.
"He should agree. After all, this is a wonderful thing and will become a much-told story!"
Cui Shunde guessed.
Sun Mo broke into a smile and looked at Zou Mei. "It's a waste of youth if one isn't impulsive. When I was your age, I also did all sorts of things on a whim, wanting to travel and see the world. I also studied for several consecutive days without sleeping just to get first place in the final exam!
"Of course, I once wanted to court a girl out of admiration, but in the end, I didn't even dare to send her a love letter."
The students listened seriously, not understanding Sun Mo's meaning. On the other hand, the great teachers seemed to be deep in thought.
"I'm very grateful for your recognition and appreciation of me, but sometimes, people will regret their decisions for the rest of their lives."
Sun Mo persuaded.
"He actually rejected?"
The students were shocked, while the great teachers revealed looks of admiration. Sun Mo was the one who would benefit the most from Zou Mei acknowledging a teacher.
Even if Zou Mei was taught to a cripple in the future, no one would say anything about Sun Mo. After all, he could find many excuses, like this girl's aptitude wasn't good enough.
But as long as he accepted Zou Mei today, Sun Mo would definitely become the rising star with the greatest limelight in this great teacher examination.
However, he didn't do so. Compared to his own reputation, he cared more about Zou Mei's thoughts and future.
Such integrity and character were definitely worthy of everyone giving him a thumbs up.
"I acknowledge your talent and I'm very happy that you're willing to acknowledge me as your teacher. However, acknowledging a teacher isn't something that can be done by just one person!"
Sun Mo helped Zou Mei up. "Have you considered your parents' views?"
Zou Mei fell silent. Her parents naturally hoped that she could acknowledge a high-star great teacher. At the very least, it had to be a 3-star great teacher!
"After you calm down and reconsider this matter, you can ask your parents for their opinion. At that time, if you still insist, I'll accept you!"
Sun Mo was no longer the newbie who didn't know anything when he first came to the Nine Provinces. He knew that a personal teacher was equivalent to a father and son relationship.
Simply speaking, if a student made a mistake and Sun Mo broke his leg, no one would say anything. Even if he accidentally killed the student, he would at most be reprimanded and wouldn't have to pay with his life.
But on the other hand, Sun Mo had to treat his students as his own sons and guide them with great care. If he wasn't willing to spend resources on them or kept them to himself, the amount of criticism he would receive would be even more than if he was beaten to death.
"Teacher, I understand!"
Zou Mei knelt down again and kowtowed three times in gratitude before standing up again. Sun Mo was a 100% good teacher since he was willing to think for her.
However, his parents would probably despise him for being too young and not having enough stars.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Zou Mei + 100. Friendly (300/1,000).
"After this lesson, we can be considered to have a teacher-student relationship. If you don't mind, I'll give this Lightning Protection Rune to you!"
Sun Mo smiled and closed his book. "Alright, class dismissed!"
"Teacher, I've never heard of this spirit rune before. Did you create this yourself?"
A male student couldn't help but ask.
"No, I dug it out from a ruin in the Darkness Continent!" Sun Mo explained. "But I can guarantee that it's unique to me. Hence, it's very precious."
Sun Mo said this not because he wanted to show off, but because he hoped that Zou Mei would treasure this spirit rune and sell it off as an ordinary spirit rune.
Wow!
Everyone exclaimed in shock.
A unique spirit rune! The value of that would be sky-high!
Zou Mei's hand trembled when she received the spirit rune. This gift was too precious.
"Isn't this character a little too noble?"
Li Ruolan ridiculed. (You're making me want to give you full marks.)
This great reporter had a principle. It was that the standard of a teacher could be very bad, but their character must be above average. Only then would they be considered a good teacher.
After Sun Mo left, the classroom fell silent for a while. The students immediately reacted and applauded warmly.
"Silence! Silence! "
Cui Shunde increased his volume and shouted five times before suppressing the clamor. "The voting segment will start now. Line up, don't be disorderly!"
A few students squeezed in front of Zou Mei, but there were great teachers who were faster than them.
"This student, I'm willing to pay a high price for that spirit rune!"
This was reserved.
"I'll pay 1,000 spirit stones!"
This person was an impatient person.
"I'll pay 5,000. If you're not satisfied, you can increase the price!"
A wealthy great teacher spoke. The people at the side still wanted to increase the price, but when they saw the four stars on this great teacher's chest, they could only give up.
A great teacher of this level would definitely not lack money. Seeing how this person was determined to get it, they definitely wouldn't be able to outbid him.
Zou Mei was stunned. 5... 5,000 spirit stones? What concept was that? She only remembered that the 1-star great teachers in her school only had a few spirit stones per month.
So, this lightning protection rune was so valuable?
All of a sudden, Zou Mei felt a little regret that she didn't insist on acknowledging Sun Mo as her teacher.
"Teacher Cai, it wouldn't be too good to do this, right?"
Cui Shunde also wanted to buy it, but in public, they had to pay attention to their image. Hence, he persuaded the 4-star great teacher.
"It's purely a waste to give such a spirit rune to her!"
The great teacher sighed. He could naturally ask Sun Mo for one, but that would be owing him a favor.
At their level, if they could use money to settle things, they definitely wouldn't use favors.
The students discussed. After that, a male student suddenly discovered a blind spot.
"Teacher Sun Mo drew a total of eight spirit runes, and all of them seem to have formed spirit qi tornadoes?"
"It seems so."
"My heavens, this success rate is probably something that even spirit rune grandmasters wouldn't be able to achieve, right?"
Everyone was completely shocked.
The great teachers also came to a realization. All sorts of envy and jealousy appeared on their faces. A 21-year-old spirit rune grandmaster? Wasn't this too terrifying?
Li Ruolan didn't look at the voting results and directly left. She had thought that this lecture would be much weaker than Medical Cultivation. She didn't expect it to be so fascinating.
This trip was truly not in vain.
(Tsk, this Sun Mo really has shocking talent!)
...
Sun Mo followed the crowd and walked on the campus, feeling joyful.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained 3,120 favorable impression points."
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained an outstanding result in the lecture segment. Reward: 1 silver treasure chest!"
Ding!
"Congratulations, your prestige connection with five people has improved. Reward: 1 golden treasure chest."
Three consecutive notifications rang out in Sun Mo's ears.
After returning to the Copperbell Hotel, before Sun Mo went to look for Lu Zhiruo, they ran over to greet him and inquire about the examination results.
"You can prepare for the individual battle."
Sun Mo smiled and patted Lu Zhiruo's head.
"I know Teacher will definitely pass. I just want to know if he can get first place or not."
Li Ziqi hoped that her teacher would be able to crush the students from the Nine Greats.
"Open the chest!"
Sun Mo didn't really care. "Silver!"
The treasure chest opened, and a bright red Skill Book was left behind.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained a branch of the spiritual control technique. Insect summoning experience: 1,000 times!"
Sun Mo's eyes brightened. Spiritual summoning was very difficult. Even grandmasters wouldn't dare to guarantee success every time. Hence, these 1,000 times of experience would not only increase Sun Mo's proficiency, but it would also allow him to have a deeper understanding of the spiritual control technique.
After that, the golden treasure chest opened. There was a skill book inside.
Land lifeform summoning, five types of ferocious beasts!
Sun Mo learned it on the spot.
After the meal, Sun Mo returned to his room and blinked twice. He then opened his storage cabinet and took out the spirit rune design template he had obtained earlier.
"System, can you create a dragon ball spirit rune? It doesn't have any negative effects and just allows the user to unleash their potential within an acceptable range. "
Sun Mo asked.
"Do you have any ideas?"
The system counter-asked.
"Yes, I can use the spirit rune to simulate the catalyzing effect of the ancient massage technique."
Sun Mo had long since thought about it. The human body was a machine filled with mysteries. After using some secret arts to stimulate it, it would erupt with unprecedented energy.
And the ancient massage technique had such an effect.
"That's right, my design plan is the same as well!"
The system was just casually asking. It didn't expect Sun Mo to really be able to answer it. Hence, it became even more curious. "Have you considered the specific design plan?"
"I don't want to use free labor like you and go and waste my brain. Am I that bored?"
Sun Mo rolled his eyes.
"You..."
The system coughed up blood.
"Alright, add another function for me. Do you know about saiyans? After activating it, I want the user to emit a special effect. The user's body will emit golden spirit qi and their hair will stand on end! "
Sun Mo made a request.
"..."
The system was speechless. (Do you dare to be more insatiable?)
"Add some lightning, and your pupils will change color as well."
Seeing that the system didn't reject him, Sun Mo increased the stakes.
"Scram!"
The system roared in anger.
An hour later, a dragon ball spirit rune appeared before Sun Mo.
It was about the size of a piece of paper, and there were densely packed spirit rune circuits on it. It looked like a chip and was filled with the beauty of industrial design.
Sun Mo drew in a deep breath and tore the spirit rune apart.
Crackle! Crackle!
Golden electric arcs instantly appeared and extended to Sun Mo's body. It was like a lighter igniting fire, and the spirit qi on Sun Mo's body was ignited.
BOOM!
Spirit qi gushed out and enveloped Sun Mo's body, causing him to look like a ball of golden flames.
Sun Mo clenched his fists. He could feel a surge of energy being born in his body, gushing toward his limbs and bones. It instantly filled him with energy and he wanted nothing more than to fight.
"How long will this effect last for?"
Sun Mo asked. It was a pity that he didn't have a bronze man, or he could test his combat strength.
"It depends on the user's body condition, but it won't exceed ten minutes!"
The system explained, "After the saiyan effect ends, the user will become weak and have a dry mouth. They will need to replenish a large amount of water and spirit qi, and at the same time, they will need to eat."
"So short?"
Sun Mo frowned. There were also many negative effects.
"What do you think?"
The system spoke in disdain, "This is an explosive state. If it was you, would you be able to run at the speed of a 100-meter sprint for ten minutes?"
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless.
Knock knock!
The sound of knocking rang out.
"Come in!"
Sun Mo heard the footsteps and knew it was Li Ziqi.
"Teacher, the top graduate of Jixia Learning Palace, Xie Cang, is here to visit you. Do you want to meet him?"
As Li Ziqi spoke, she pushed the door open and entered. In the end, she was stunned when she saw Sun Mo emitting golden spirit qi.
