"What the hell?"
Sun Mo's heart thumped, almost reaching his throat. This aura was simply too powerful. If it was an enemy, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"It's that stone statue!"
Jin Mujie exclaimed in shock.
Sun Mo also discovered it. After all, the mountain peak was only so big, and the stone statue wasn't far away.
Kacha! Kacha!
The body of the stone statue was like a clay statue that had been exposed to the sun. Many cracks extended out.
"It... why did it crack?"
Jin Mujie didn't understand.
"..."
Sun Mo also wanted to know the reason.
Right now, there were two choices before his eyes. First, regardless of what it was, he should smash its head before it completely cracked. Second, he should flee far away from this place.
However, Sun Mo was now a famous great teacher. It would be too embarrassing if he fled.
"It should be the spiritual summoning technique, right?"
Sun Mo guessed that after he defeated Gu Yun, his companions came to find trouble. Because of his identity as a member of the Dark Dawn, he didn't dare to reveal himself for fear of being surrounded. Hence, he used this battle tactic.
At the thought of this, Sun Mo pulled out his wooden blade and was about to kill.
"Wait a minute, let's retreat first!"
Jin Mujie pulled Sun Mo's arm. She was a cautious person. Moreover, it was fine if something happened to her. But if her brother-in-law was injured, how would she explain this to Xinhui?
Just when the two of them were hesitating, the stone statue suddenly exploded with a boom.
The small fragments shot out like bullets, causing the nearby maple trees to crackle. The branches and leaves fell, and the stone powder in the air started to sway. It was a little choking.
"There's someone?"
Jin Mujie saw that after the stone statue exploded, an old man actually appeared. She was instantly shocked. After that, her vision was blocked.
Because Sun Mo, who was beside her, took a step forward and blocked her.
Jin Mujie was stunned. After that, her heart was filled with gratitude and a sense of security.
Was this the feeling of being cared for by someone?
How nice!
In an instant, Jin Mujie started to feel envious of An Xinhui. What else could she ask for to be able to find such a gentle and brave man?
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The appearance of the six Universe Formless Clones was both a deterrence and self-protection. At the very least, this old man wouldn't be confused about where his true body was.
...
Bai Cha was washing the tea set. All of a sudden, he inclined his head and looked toward the mountain peak. After that, he shook his head and laughed.
Old man, you're finally awake!
Haha, it's actually time to wake up.
The Battlegod Catalog has already appeared, but you're still staying there in the rain and wind. What's the point of that?
…
Wan Kangcheng sat in the tent and was giving lessons to a few students. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and dashed out of the tent with a few large strides.
"Wait for me to return!"
After saying this, Wan Kangcheng rushed to the mountain peak with an agitated expression.
"Teacher, you're finally awake!"
This time, our Black-White College has gained yet another general.
…
"Master teachers, there's no need to panic. I don't have any ill intentions."
The old man revealed an apologetic smile. "It was really unintentional to have disturbed the two of you."
"You don't have to be so polite, Old Mister!"
Jin Mujie returned the greeting. She put on a calm expression, but she was incomparably shocked in her heart.
What's going on?
Back then when she was a student, she had seen this stone statue before when she came to the Battlegod Canyon to temper herself. Right now, it had been at least ten years. But now, she only knew that there was someone here?
How did you survive?
Wait, the first question to consider should be, who is this old man?
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the two of you!"
The old man felt very awkward.
"It's fine!"
Sun Mo appeared very magnanimous. But even if he wanted to make things difficult for the old man, he wouldn't be able to win.
This old man looked very impressive with a single glance.
Moreover, if he really wanted to pursue the matter, he was the one who wasn't too cautious. But who would have thought that there was someone in the stone statue?
What the f * ck!
Sun Mo gained a new understanding of the various mysteries of the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces.
"Your Priceless Advice from earlier really benefited me a lot. As great teachers, we shouldn't only care about titles."
The old man praised. He tried to bear with it but still couldn't and changed the topic. "Sorry, earlier you said that the murals on the Battlegod Canyon are spirit runes?"
"Yes!"
Sun Mo couldn't be bothered to hide it. Firstly, such a crucial point was like a piece of paper that would break with a single poke. Even if he didn't admit it, this old man could totally find a spirit rune master to decipher it.
It wasn't very difficult to decipher the murals. The difficult part was discovering that they were spirit runes.
Secondly, this old man was clearly a major character. If he did him a favor now, he might be able to gain great benefits in the future. As for the third reason …
So what if he told the old man?
He had already obtained the Battlegod Catalog. Even if this old man entered that room, he wouldn't be able to obtain anything.
"My safety is in an invincible position!"
Sun Mo was expressionless, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
"So this is the case, so this is the case!"
The old man sighed and revealed a look of enlightenment. After that, his expression turned to one of disappointment. (I've been sitting on the mountain peak for over a hundred years. Where did this come from?
It's actually a spirit rune?
Hehe!
Ancient Battle God, how many people have you fooled?)
"May I ask for Grandmaster's name?"
Jin Mujie's attitude was very respectful. Since this old man could become a stone statue, it was already very impressive.
"Sorry, I was rude. This humble one is Shi Sheng, a teacher of the Black-White Academy!"
The old man nodded slightly and bowed in apology.
"A supreme-grade famous school?"
Jin Mujie had never heard of this name before, but since this old man could work in the Black-White Academy, it was enough to show how outstanding he was.
Shi Sheng glanced at Sun Mo. After assessing him, he asked curiously, "Are you the one who comprehended the Battlegod Catalog?"
"I was lucky!"
Sun Mo said modestly.
Shi Sheng fell silent and looked into Sun Mo's eyes. After a few minutes, he sighed ruefully, "Young and capable. Congratulations! Congratulations! "
Sun Mo clasped his fists. From the attitude of this old man, he shouldn't be a bad person. Just as he was preparing to chat more, a surprised cry interrupted his words.
"Teacher? You're awake? "
Wan Kangcheng had a look of excitement on his face. He rushed over like a hurricane and knelt before Shi Sheng with a thud. He didn't care about the small stone on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Teacher, I missed you so much!"
Wan Kangcheng had tears in his eyes.
At the sight of this scene, Sun Mo and Jin Mujie exchanged a glance. (My heavens, this is definitely a major character.)
"Kangcheng? 8-star? "
Shi Sheng looked at the eight stars on Wan Kangcheng's chest and revealed a gratified expression. "This should be the case. Given your talent, it'd be a waste if you couldn't get 8-star."
"It's the headmaster who is guiding you, right?"
Shi Sheng guessed. Other than the headmaster, no one would be able to help Wan Kangcheng rise to 8-star within a short 100-plus years.
"En."
Wan Kangcheng nodded.
"I'm sorry. I only cared about myself and didn't guide you properly."
Shi Sheng felt guilty. Back then, this Wan Kangcheng was a student he thought highly of.
"Teacher, it's not too late now. I still have many things to learn from you."
Wan Kangcheng spoke truthfully and didn't feel proud just because he was an 8-star star.
However, Shi Sheng shook his head. (Although there's bound to be someone I can learn from, you're already on the same star level as me.)
At the thought of this, Shi Sheng felt very upset.
It wasn't scary to sit for 100 years. What was scary was not having any achievements.
(Sigh, why is it a spirit rune?)
"Teacher..."
Wan Kangcheng also saw Shi Sheng's expression. He wanted to persuade him, but his identity as a student made him feel apprehensive. He was worried that he'd offend his teacher.
"Great Teacher Shi, you're not wrong. The one who's wrong is the ancient Battle God."
Sun Mo consoled, "As long as one doesn't understand spirit runes, no one will be able to succeed."
"Spirit runes?"
Wan Kangcheng frowned. "Those murals on the Battle God can't be spirit runes, right?"
One couldn't help but say that the thoughts of an 8-star great teacher were as fast as lightning.
"Hehe, there's no need to console me. It's my fault for not being able to see the spirit runes."
Shi Sheng smiled guiltily. After that, he looked at Sun Mo with admiration.
One must know that Sun Mo could reveal such a great secret before Wan Kangcheng. His breadth of mind and boldness was worth learning from.
This was the true bearing of a great teacher.
All of a sudden, he made a decision.
"Teacher, let's go back. Headmaster and the other teachers have long since missed you. "
Wan Kangcheng urged.
At the instant the news of the disappearance of the murals reached the Black-White Academy, the headmaster personally looked for Wan Kangcheng and asked him to welcome Shi Sheng back.
Because the Battlegod Catalog was already out, the headmaster knew that there was no meaning for Shi Sheng to stay here.
For a genius like him, if he wasn't the first to comprehend a divine art, his pride would make him give up immediately.
"I've accomplished nothing in the past 100 years. I don't have the face to meet them!"
Shi Sheng mocked himself.
After hearing this, Jin Mujie secretly stretched out her finger and poked Sun Mo's arm. (Look at what you've done. You've caused an 8-star great teacher's teacher to become autistic.)
"The two of you are great teachers from the Central Province Academy, right? May I ask who is the headmaster now? "
Shi Sheng recognized the school through the school insignia.
"It's An Xinhui, the granddaughter of the old headmaster An Zaidao."
Jin Mujie replied respectfully.
Shi Sheng frowned. "Why?"
That shouldn't be the case. Although the Central Province Academy had declined, given the magnanimity of the An Clan, they would definitely let the most capable person become the headmaster. They wouldn't let the granddaughter of the An Zaidao become the headmaster.
"Three years ago, the old headmaster failed in his attempt to break through to the saint realm. An Xinhui took on the role of headmaster in the face of danger and struggled bitterly to hold on."
Jin Mujie explained.
"So this is the case."
Shi Sheng nodded. "In that case, I wonder if I can get a position if I go to seek employment?"
"Teacher!"
After hearing this, Wan Kangcheng was stunned. (Why didn't you return to the Black-White Academy? Why did you go to such a school to join in the fun?)
"Kangcheng, I've heard their secret. I should pay a price for it."
Shi Sheng explained, "The thing that I couldn't obtain for 100 years was exposed by them. If not, I might continue to sit there like a stone statue for several hundred years until I die. I have to return this favor."
"You can use other methods!"
Wan Kangcheng grew anxious. "There's no need for you to ruin yourself like this."
"Oi, what do you mean by this?"
Sun Mo was unhappy.
Jin Mujie thought to herself that this was domineering. In any case, if it was her, she wouldn't dare to talk back to an 8-star great teacher like this. She would only curse behind his back.
(Sigh, I feel more and more envious of Xinhui for having such a man.)
"What do you think?"
Wan Kangcheng directly roared back. "Given the current situation of your Central Province Academy, wouldn't it be a waste of an 8-star great teacher's talent?"
"Teacher Wan, if you comprehend 'Distinctionless Education', I'll twist my head off and let you use it as a stool."
Sun Mo spoke in disdain.
"You..."
Wan Kangcheng's face immediately flushed.
It was because Sun Mo's words could be said to be a slap to his face.
As a great teacher, they should uphold the concept of Distinctionless Education and not be picky. By saying this, Sun Mo was mocking Wan Kangcheng for using aptitude to determine success or failure.
"Kangcheng, he's right. As great teachers, we shouldn't be picky about schools and treat our students differently based on their aptitudes."
As Shi Sheng spoke, a golden glow emitted from his body.
After that, motes of light splattered out.
"..."
Sun Mo was stunned. To think that it was Priceless Advice?
To speak the truth, Sun Mo was just saying this. If he was really asked to work in a trash school, he'd definitely refuse. However, the appearance of Priceless Advice meant that Shi Sheng was really thinking this way.
Jin Mujie and Wan Kangcheng directly bowed, indicating that they had received his guidance.
"I hope that Headmaster An won't despise my old bones."
Shi Sheng mocked himself again. It was because the failure this time around had caused his ambition to diminish greatly. He no longer wanted to seek breakthroughs. He'd just teach students and spend the rest of his life.
"How can that be? Our Central Province Academy will definitely welcome Great Teacher Shi."
Sun Mo clasped his fists.
Even if Wan Kangcheng hated him to the core, he still had to say this.
(My heavens, he seems to be an 8-star great teacher. If I can pull him back to the school, the Central Province Academy's rallying power would instantly increase tremendously.)
Usually speaking, at this level, other than the fixed two lessons every month, great teachers would spend most of their time doing their own research topics, cultivating, and occasionally teaching their personal disciples. Therefore, the Central Province Academy also had a few high-ranking great teachers, but they basically didn't care if the school was declining or not.
It was impossible to get them to show their support.
"Great Teacher Shi, this is Sun Mo, the vice-headmaster of our school. Although he is young, he already has a great reputation. He graduated last year and just joined the school, but he rose by two stars consecutively, becoming a two-time champion. He even wants to challenge three stars in one year in the 3-star great teacher examination three months later."
Jin Mujie hurriedly boasted.
"There's no need to introduce him. For someone who can comprehend the Battlegod Catalog, even if I use my knees to think, I know how outstanding he is."
Shi Sheng praised.
Sun Mo smiled, but he felt very conflicted in his heart.
The Black-White Academy would definitely not let go of an 8-star great teacher. If their headmaster were to make a move, it was hard to guarantee that Shi Sheng wouldn't change his mind.
In that case, if Sun Mo wanted to recruit Shi Sheng, he would have to offer an extremely great bargaining chip.
Sun Mo gave it some thought. What he could take out that Shi Sheng was interested in would definitely be the Battlegod Catalog. But this divine art...
"Sun Mo, why are you so petty? Your goal is to bring the Central Province Academy back to the ranks of the Nine Greats. This is why talents are too important. So what if you give him a peak-grade divine art? "
The system watched coldly from the side. If Sun Mo was stingy, it would also be very disappointed.
"Sun Mo, your goal is the sea of stars. Moreover, as long as you have Immemorial Vairocana, what divine art wouldn't you be able to obtain? Why must you be stingy with a Battlegod Catalog? "
Sun Mo made up his mind.
He couldn't bear to part with his wife. No, he couldn't give up his wife.
After thinking of this, Sun Mo made his decision.
"Great Teacher Shi, sorry for the offense!"
As Sun Mo spoke, his right fist lit up with white light. After that, he punched out, imprinting the key to the Battlegod Catalog into Shi Sheng's mind.
Soul Imprint!
(This time around, I'll take a gamble.)
"What are you doing?"
Wan Kangcheng was badly shocked. He thought that Sun Mo was going to hurt his teacher. Hence, he lifted his hand and slapped it toward Sun Mo's head, wanting to kill him.
