Sun Mo was currently teaching a lesson and was talking about the essence of the Sword Control Art.
This was a cultivation art cultivated by a fifth-year student. Because his cultivation method was wrong, it caused his spirit qi to flow chaotically and hurt his energy channels.
Suddenly, a notification rang out in Sun Mo's ears. He had obtained favorable impression points.
That speed was like a machine gun madly shooting at the captives, harvesting their heads. Not long later, the speed increased again.
It became an artillery regiment, using carpet bombing to cover the enemy's formation.
Sun Mo hurriedly told the system to stop. In just a short while, he had received close to 100,000 favorable impression points. It was so noisy that his ears were about to go deaf.
However, Sun Mo didn't feel happy or sad. After all, after eating the first crab, there wasn't much freshness left. Sun Mo had also obtained favorable impression points of this magnitude before.
Therefore, it was said that human desires were always endless.
Sun Mo continued teaching, but he already understood in his heart that the good news team should have arrived. If there were no accidents, he would be the top ranker.
Otherwise, an ordinary golden examination wouldn't have caused such a huge commotion.
Outside the classroom, the first batch of students ran over while panting.
"It's the top ranker!"
Everyone was seriously listening to the lesson. Hence, although there were hundreds of students gathered in the corridor, it was very quiet. Hence, these four words were clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.
After one to two seconds of silence, someone couldn't help but shout out.
"Long live Teacher Sun!"
Boom!
In the corridor, a commotion broke out. The students all talked at once and asked the person who came to report the news.
It was so chaotic outside, and there were all sorts of exclamations and cheers. This caused Sun Mo's lesson to stop.
Ka!
Sun Mo pulled open the classroom's door.
Bzz!
The students in the corridor all quietened down and lowered their heads, feeling a little scared.
A few great teachers in the crowd felt extremely envious when they saw this scene.
Sun Mo's influence was truly terrifying!
"What's the matter?"
Sun Mo asked.
"T... teacher, you got the top ranker."
After a bold student said that, he added another sentence filled with admiration, "The top ranker of the 3-star examination."
"Oh!"
Sun Mo nodded. "I understand. Thank you for coming to report the news."
Sun Mo took out a stack of banknotes and handed them over. "The few of you who came to report the news, take it and distribute it among yourselves. Also..."
Sun Mo glanced at the others. "Stop arguing."
After closing the door, Sun Mo returned to the rostrum and continued his lesson.
The students were dumbfounded.
Eh?
This was breaking a record, right? Teacher, how can you still be so calm? If it were him, he would have jumped up like a madman.
Seeing Sun Mo continuing to teach as though nothing had happened, the students felt deep veneration for him.
What was a master teacher of the Nine Provinces?
This was it!
There was no way for Sun Mo's class to continue.
Gu Xiuxun rushed over and said that An Xinhui wanted to hold a star bestowment ceremony an hour later. She told Sun Mo to quickly make preparations.
"There's no need to be so grand."
Sun Mo frowned.
"Vice Principal Wang Su also agreed."
Gu Xiuxun pulled Sun Mo's hand and walked away. "Don't decline. This no longer concerns you alone. It concerns the glory of our entire Central Province Academy."
Feeling the softness of Gu Xiuxun's small hands and seeing the pride on the faces of the students, Sun Mo smiled.
This was the greatest value of becoming the champion!
It wasn't for himself, but for the school and the students.
Why would the students from QingBei have a look of pride on their faces when they talked about their school? It was because their school was famous throughout Huaxia.
What he wanted to do was to make the Central Province Academy the best school in the Nine Provinces.
It just so happened that the league tournament would start in less than a month. In that case, he would start from the 'B' grade!
...
During these two years, Sun Mo had seen too many major scenes. He had even experienced a few life-and-death battles. Hence, he had matured a lot. The results today were worthy of celebration, but that was all.
However, to the great teacher world, this was an unprecedented record. Moreover, for a very long period of time in the future, no one would be able to break this record.
Hence, many great teachers started to inquire about Sun Mo. After knowing about the things he had done, they were even more shocked.
The transportation in the Nine Provinces wasn't convenient. Hence, many people were filled with interest toward Sun Mo, but they couldn't rush over to meet him. However, it was different for the great teachers in Jinling and the surrounding areas.
During these few days, the number of invitations and letters Sun Mo received had reached close to 1,000. Some wanted to get to know him, some wanted to take him as their personal teacher, and there were also some who wanted to challenge him to a battle.
No matter what era it was, there would be no lack of people who were blindly arrogant. They weren't willing to work hard step by step and always wanted to step on a famous genius to climb up.
And now, Sun Mo already had the qualifications to be a stepping stone.
At the same time, he also had the right to be willful.
Sun Mo didn't want to go out to socialize. If he had the time, he might as well stay in the library and study.
Just like that, as the discussions outside grew increasingly intense, Sun Mo used the spirit rune design rubik's cube and started to experiment with his idea.
From this moment onward, Sun Mo truly had the aura of a grandmaster. It was because his idea was to expand the map of the study of spirit runes.
On Saturday afternoon, An Xinhui came looking for him.
In a corner of the old headmaster's private book collection room, Sun Mo was holding a self-made charcoal pencil and was currently drawing spirit runes on the table. Beside him, there were books and several hundred pieces of white paper. All sorts of spirit runes were drawn on them.
Sun Mo was too focused. Even though An Xinhui had been standing there for 15 minutes, he didn't notice it.
"Little Momo, you can rest for a while."
An Xinhui sighed ruefully. As expected, there was no such thing as luck for those who could succeed.
Sun Mo, who could even create a miracle like a withered tree coming back to life, was actually so engrossed in researching the study of spirit runes. This was simply too inspiring.
"It's Sister Xinhui!"
Sun Mo inclined his head and glanced at her. After that, he lowered his head again. "I'm not tired."
"You have to eat even if you're not tired!"
An Xinhui persuaded.
"Is something the matter?"
Sun Mo wasn't a noob in the workplace. An Xinhui had been extremely busy during these few days. Now that she came to visit him, there must be a major matter.
"You're now the top ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings, a rising star that everyone pays attention to. It's impossible for you to keep hiding."
An Xinhui sighed. "I've helped you reject many invitations, but there are a few that I can't do anything about."
For example, Li Xiu's invitations, Zou Wanfu's invitations...
The former was the eldest princess of the Great Tang, while the latter was the wealthiest person in Jinling. They had astonishing influence in the silkworm and shipping industries.
"Zou Wanfu donated 10 million silver taels to the school. Clearly, he's doing this for you. If you don't go, it wouldn't be too appropriate."
"He has a child who wants to acknowledge me as his teacher?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"No, I'm just placing a bet to sow some good karma. However, I definitely won't be able to run away from this in the future."
An Xinhui explained.
"En, you can arrange the time then!"
Sun Mo wasn't surprised. In the modern era, the thing that wealthy people loved to do the most was to donate money to world-class famous schools. Firstly, it was to increase their prestige, and secondly, it was to expand their connections.
Li Xiu and Zou Wanfu's banquets were attended by the top-notch nobles of Jinling. Sun Mo couldn't remain aloof. Hence, he had to give them face.
"Speaking of which, because of you, the donations I received during these few days have already reached 30 million taels."
An Xinhui sighed. Just last year, the school couldn't even make ends meet. They were so poor that they couldn't even feed themselves. Let alone donating money, it was already not bad if those wealthy people didn't kick them when they were down.
She didn't expect that the tables would turn this year. Everyone was rushing to give money to her.
An Xinhui didn't lack money now. Hence, she didn't want the money of some wealthy people.
For example, those who opened gambling houses and brothels. However, those big bosses placed their money in the headmaster's office. After An Xinhui sent people to send the money back, they would exchange it for all sorts of resources and do everything they could to donate them to the Central Province Academy.
An Xinhui knew that all of this was brought about by Sun Mo.
Given Sun Mo's current rising momentum, even if he couldn't become a secondary saint, it wouldn't be a problem for him to become a 7-star or 8-star great teacher. Moreover, even if he stopped here, he was still a spirit rune ancestor, a spiritual controller, and had multiple peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts. He was simply a great teacher who was a walking treasure vault.
Such a stock with great potential was An Xinhui's fiance. In that case, the Central Province Academy would naturally bask in his glory. Donating money to the school was naturally equivalent to giving money to Sun Mo. There was nothing wrong with that.
"Since ancient times, there's less help in times of need, and more icing on the cake. Isn't this very normal?"
Sun Mo smiled. Even the Holy Bible said that those who had it should be given to them, allowing them to have more than enough. Those who didn't, even if they had it, should be snatched away.
For the next week, Sun Mo held banquets every night. He finally saw those famous courtesans who were renowned in Jiangnan.
The 12 beauties of Jinling, the eight sisters of Qinhuai, all of them were there.
Usually, the appearance fees of these top-notch courtesans would reach up to seven digits. Moreover, even if one had money but no power, they wouldn't be able to invite them. But now, at the banquets, they obediently played the zither, accompanied the guests to drink, and chatted. They were like ordinary maids and didn't have any glory to speak of.
Therefore, to ordinary people, beautiful women were just playthings in the eyes of these top-notch nobles.
In fact, the third richest man in Jinling wanted to spend a million silver taels on the spot just because Sun Mo said 'her zither playing is really good' and then give her to Sun Mo.
Sun Mo couldn't help but feel a little inflated in the face of such adoration.
Luckily, there were two seniors, Zheng Qingfang and Li Xiu, who kept on admonishing him. This was especially so for Li Xiu. She told Sun Mo that she had passed this hurdle, but she didn't know what His Majesty's attitude was.
A 3-star first place didn't have the qualifications to be his beloved personal teacher.
...
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Sun Mo, who reeked of alcohol, was sent back to the villa.
Dong He and Xiao E hurriedly came over and helped him to wash up.
After a round of torment, Sun Mo lay on his bed.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Lu Zhiruo boiled ginseng soup and scooped it into a small cup for Sun Mo.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo drank two mouthfuls and frowned. "What is this soup made from?"
No matter what, Sun Mo was a herbalist and could taste some things.
"Ginseng, deer antler, wolfberry, Trident..."
Lu Zhiruo counted her fingers and reported them one by one.
Sun Mo's countenance immediately turned dark.
"Who told you to brew such a soup?"
This was a f * cking nourishing soup. If he drank it, would he still be able to sleep? After that, he would hold a dragon in his left hand and play with it for the entire night?
"Eh, I heard from Junior Sister Yaoguang that you must be very tired during these few days. Hence, I asked her what to do and she gave me a ginseng soup recipe."
Lu Zhiruo had an innocent look on her face. She had no idea what she had done.
"I appreciate your filial piety."
Sun Mo passed the small cup back.
"Eh? Is it not nice? "
The papaya girl frowned and took a bite in passing.
"Don't drink it."
Sun Mo tried to stop her, but it was too late.
"It's quite sweet. Junior Sister Yaoguang was right when she said to add more sugar."
Lu Zhiruo had a look of admiration on her face. After that, she looked at Sun Mo in puzzlement. (Could it be that Teacher doesn't like me anymore?)
"Forget it, just put it down!"
Sun Mo sighed. He really couldn't stand Lu Zhiruo's pitiful gaze.
Ding!
"Congratulations on becoming the top ranker of the 3-star great teacher examination and completing the mission. Reward: 1x mysterious treasure chest. Please continue to work hard."
Ding!
"Congratulations on consecutively rising by 3 stars in a single year and becoming the top ranker three times, completing the 'I'm a super rookie' achievement. You've taken a huge step on the great teacher path. Reward: 1x seven-colored diamond treasure chest."
Ding!
"Congratulations on becoming the top ranker of the Great Teachers Hero Rankings. You've gained a great reputation among the younger generation and completed the 'Golden Rankings' achievement. Reward: 1x seven-colored diamond treasure chest. Please continue to work hard."
The system congratulated him and rewarded him three times.
Sun Mo couldn't help but whistle. The treasure chest this time around was a super top-grade item.
"Teacher, it's getting late. Quickly drink the soup."
Lu Zhiruo's meaning was for Sun Mo to quickly drink the soup so that she could pack up and leave. They mustn't disturb her teacher's rest.
"There's no rush. Come over."
Sun Mo waited for the papaya girl to walk over and immediately stretched out his hand to stroke her hair.
"System, open that mysterious treasure chest first."
Sun Mo instructed.
The purple fog dissipated and golden light radiated, revealing a skill book.
Sun Mo's eyes brightened and he almost jumped up in excitement.
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining the great teacher halo Verbal Battle. Proficiency level: Elementary-grade. Range: 3 meters.
"After this halo is released, the words you spit out will possess the killing prowess of a sharp blade. If it's light, the enemy will vomit blood. If it's heavy, the enemy's heart will shatter and they will die.
"Note: Great teachers should use reasoning to convince people. Please use this halo cautiously."
After looking at the skill book's explanation, Sun Mo couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed uproariously.
Throughout the ages, there had never been a case where one could kill someone just by saying a few words. At most, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood and not be able to eat for a few days.
But in the Nine Provinces, if a great teacher comprehended Verbal Battle, they would really be able to scold someone to death.
If Prime Minister Zhuge had a Verbal Battle halo when he was verbally sparring with the scholars in Jiangdong, then those officials in Jiangdong would all be dead for sure.
Great teachers had to maintain their loftiness. Verbal Battle was too lowly. Only low-star great teachers would do this. High-star great teachers would scold others, deciding life and death with a single sentence.
One could say that if Sun Mo was a secondary saint, he wouldn't know how to use Verbal Battle. If he couldn't say a single word, he would only be scolded.
"Do you want to learn it?"
The system asked.
"If you don't want to learn it, then leave it for the new year. Hurry up!"
Sun Mo urged. After learning it, he felt very unhappy when he saw that the proficiency level was only at the elementary-grade. Hence, he instructed, "Smash a 100-year time emblem."
This halo was very practical. Hence, it wouldn't be wrong to quickly raise it to the grandmaster-grade.
Although Sun Mo had grasped Misleading Students and Good Teacher, he didn't have many opportunities to use it. Moreover, things like quarreling were as common as eating and drinking.
Ding!
"Congratulations, your Verbal Battle's proficiency level has been raised to the grandmaster-grade. The range of influence is 300 meters."
