The spirit rune wasn't very complicated. Because it was created by Sun Mo, it was very beautiful.
One must know that Sun Mo was not only a spirit rune master who was close to the ancestor-level, but he was also a famous artist. Therefore, even if it was a simple line, as long as it flowed out from his brush, it would bring about an extraordinary charm.
"Does anyone know it?"
Sun Mo looked toward the corridor. "The people outside can answer if they know."
Whispers rang out and the students discussed fervently, but no one knew the answer. In the end, their gazes landed on Wan Yanmei.
She was publicly recognized as the number one in the study of spirit runes in the Dragon Subduing Academy. It was said that she already had the strength of a grandmaster despite her young age.
"How is it?"
Sun Mo smiled and asked.
Wanyan Mei's expression was cold, but she felt so embarrassed in her heart that she wanted to die. It was because she was a spirit rune grandmaster and didn't place many spirit rune masters in her eyes. But now, she was stumped by an intern teacher.
"Preposterous!"
Wan Yanmei took in a deep breath, stood up, and bowed slightly. "I don't know. Teacher Sun, please guide me."
"Sit down!"
Sun Mo smiled. "There's no need to feel inferior. It's very normal that you don't know. It's because it's a spirit rune that I created myself."
"What? Another spirit rune that you created yourself? "
Even students who didn't study spirit runes knew what it meant to create oneself. Therefore, let alone those who had seen Sun Mo's technique for the first time, even the students who had attended a lesson yesterday were extremely astonished.
"How many spirit runes have you created?"
A student asked in surprise.
Other people could brag about creating a spirit rune for half their lives. It was enough for them to become a grandmaster. Yet, Sun Mo had created quite a few in just two lessons.
"This is the Rain-Gathering Rune!"
As Sun Mo spoke, he tore open the spirit rune and activated it.
The air currents surged and very soon, a piece of white dark cloud formed on the rostrum. Then, rain started to fall.
"It's really the Rain-Gathering Rune."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
This spirit rune was usually used to water spirit fields.
It could also be used in emergencies if there was a shortage of water. It was considered a very common spirit rune, but no one had seen the pattern that Sun Mo was drawing before.
Wanyan Mei left her seat and walked up to the podium. She dipped her hand in the rainwater and tasted it.
"Teacher, the rainwater from your Rain-Gathering Rune contains a lot of Spirit Qi, right?"
Wanyan Mei felt a sense of defeat in her heart.
This Sun Mo was only eight to nine years older than him, right? To think that he had already reached such a realm …
Sigh!
No matter how confident Wan Yanmei was, she didn't feel that she would be able to create her own spirit runes ten years later.
"Yes, this is the essence of my Gathering Rain Rune. Not only can it increase spiritual energy, it can also decrease it. It can be controlled at will."
Sun Mo's casual words caused a huge commotion in the classroom.
"Impossible!"
Wanyan Mei questioned subconsciously.
"Why not?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Because … because …"
Wan Yanmei wanted to say that the difficulty of this operation was too high, but when she saw Sun Mo's confident gaze, she suddenly didn't know what to say. What if he was such a genius?
"Everyone knows that due to the difference in aptitudes between cultivators, the effects of intoxication would appear. Actually, the reaction of plants to spirit qi is similar as well. Plants require different amounts of spirit qi at different growth stages."
Sun Mo introduced, "This is the original intention of my creation of this spirit rune. It allows plants to receive the most appropriate amount of spirit qi to water at different growth stages."
This sentence was easy to understand.
For a plant, the amount of spirit qi it required at the seedling stage and the mature stage would definitely be different. How would ordinary planters adjust the supply of spirit qi?
Watering less!
Because once a spirit rune was activated, it couldn't be canceled. Therefore, planters would think of all sorts of methods to not let the rainwater that was filled with spirit qi fall on the fields.
This kind of operation was very troublesome.
However, it had to be done. Because the rarer the herb, the harsher the environment it had to grow in. Otherwise, even if it matured, it would be inferior.
"From the development of the study of spirit runes until now, the Rain Gathering Rune that has been passed down is undoubtedly the most cost-effective. However, it's basically impossible to adapt it to the local conditions. It's because every type of herb has a different requirement for spirit qi. As for my Rain Gathering Rune, as long as one understands the theory, even a beginner would be able to adjust the amount of spirit qi absorbed from the rainwater by modifying the spirit rune."
Sun Mo spoke frankly with assurance and was in high spirits. However, in the classroom and outside the corridor, there were many dumbfounded or shocked faces.
It was because the concept that Sun Mo described was too exaggerated.
"Isn't modifying spirit runes a domain that only grandmasters and above can achieve?"
Someone didn't understand.
"You guys view spirit runes as too difficult."
Sun Mo's lips curled. His warm smile gave off an extremely good impression.
Many female students felt regretful. How good would it be if this teacher was a little more handsome?
"It's still the same sentence. Spirit runes are actually a form of expression. You guys can understand it as a type of content. In that case, different spirit rune diagrams are different languages that describe the content."
Sun Mo deliberated over his words.
"Let's put it this way. The ten plus tribes in the north have many ways to express their gratitude. However, is there any difficulty in understanding them?"
"That's for sure!"
"If you want to scold someone, you don't even need to speak. Just a gesture and you'll know that you're going to f * ck the other party up."
"We're in class, can you be more serious?"
The students laughed. They quite liked the atmosphere in Sun Mo's class. It was relaxed and not solemn, unlike those old pedants. If you sat a little lazily, you'd be beaten with a ruler.
"A language can only be recognized after it is popularized and used by many people. Otherwise, people would think that you're a lunatic talking to yourself. However, there's no need for that. Even if you're the only one who understands it, you can still activate it."
Sun Mo knocked on the blackboard. "The spirit runes that we're learning now are popularized because the number of people who use them is the highest."
"Teacher Sun, you mean that I can create a set of spirit runes that belongs solely to me?"
Wanyan Mei asked in surprise.
"That's right."
Sun Mo nodded with certainty.
"What should we do then?"
Wanyan Mei was impatient.
"Don't be anxious. I'll gradually explain it in the following lessons."
Sun Mo mentally mused. (If I finish explaining all the important stuff in a single lesson, what would I rely on to gain popularity in the future?)
"Tsk, Teacher, you're so cunning!"
Many people booed, but they were actually mocking him. There weren't many people who were truly angry.
Wanyan Mei gritted her teeth, wanting nothing more than to grab Sun Mo's neck and make him spit out the answer.
This feeling of waiting was too torturous.
"Teacher, you said that you're going to announce an original spirit rune in this lesson. Is it this one?"
A female student asked.
"There are over ten rain-gathering runes in the spirit rune world, including those that aren't practical. Since I said that it's an original creation, it naturally has to be unique."
After Sun Mo finished speaking, the entire classroom fell silent.
After tens of seconds, a great teacher spoke up.
"Teacher Sun, you mean that you've created a spirit rune that doesn't exist in the spirit rune world?"
"That's right!"
Sun Mo spat out two words. It was very light, but its weight caused the several hundred students in the surroundings to draw in a cold gasp in unison.
This... this Teacher Sun... could he already be a great ancestor-level spirit rune?
One must know that the standard for a great ancestor-level spirit rune was to create a spirit rune that hadn't appeared in the Nine Provinces before.
Sun Mo didn't waste any words. He turned and pasted a piece of spirit rune paper on the blackboard. After that, he started drawing.
The entire classroom was originally in a commotion due to the shock. But as Sun Mo picked up the spirit rune brush, the noises disappeared.
In fact, some students didn't even dare to breathe loudly. They were deeply afraid that they would disturb Sun Mo and cause the spirit rune to go wrong.
"In order to let everyone see it clearly, I'll draw it slowly."
Sun Mo appeared to be thinking for the sake of the students, but he actually didn't want to screw things up. After all, he had only drawn this spirit rune a few times after modifying it.
Right now, Sun Mo's goal was to create a spirit qi tornado as long as he drew it. Only then would he be able to give everyone the image of a grandmaster.
After a total of 20 minutes, the spirit rune was formed.
Sun Mo's cautiousness and meticulousness also paid off. The spirit qi tornado stirred, absorbing the spirit qi in the teaching block of the stone castle.
"Although I don't know what spirit rune Teacher Sun is drawing, just looking at the design is already very pleasing to the eye."
"It feels like a famous painting!"
"Have you seen a famous painting before?"
Upon hearing the students' discussion, Sun Mo really wanted to say, 'Haven't seen a famous painting before?
It's fine, I'll draw one for you guys! '
(Forget it!)
He would keep this pretentious act for the future.
"Princess, do you understand?"
The son of a small tribe leader asked as he was more familiar with Wan Yanmei.
Swoosh!
Wan Yanmei immediately turned her head and glared over with a ferocious gaze.
(What?
Are you mocking this princess?)
He had already said that this was a spirit rune he created. Who would still recognize it?
Naturally, Wan Yanmei was unhappy because her train of thought was interrupted. She wanted to rely on her own ability to decipher this spirit rune.
Sun Mo swept his gaze around and just happened to see Beardy standing in the corridor. Hence, he called out to him.
"Just nice, can I trouble you to receive this spirit rune?"
If Beardy were to reject at such a time, his popularity would plunge because others would think that he was afraid. Hence, he walked out.
"Be careful, the killing prowess of this spirit rune is very great."
Sun Mo reminded, "It's best if you have a weapon in your hands!"
Beardy had been preparing to draw his blade, but after hearing this, his arrogance rose and he wanted to fight bare-handed instead.
(Hehe, silly boy.)
Sun Mo was intentionally provoking him. This Beardy's attitude wasn't good, and he had long since wanted to give him a lesson.
"Are you ready?"
Sun Mo asked.
"Come on!"
Beardy displayed a casual attitude.
Sun Mo tore the spirit rune apart. Kacha!
In the air, it was as though two pieces of flint had rubbed against each other. A spark flashed and rapidly ignited, turning into a coconut-sized fireball that shot out with a whoosh.
"F * ck!"
Beardy was shocked. The speed of the fireball was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived before him. The scorching temperature roasted his face until it felt painful.
He instinctively wanted to dodge, but there were still students behind him. He could only take it head-on.
