Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 870: You Are So Outstanding to This Extent, I Will Feel Jealous Oh!

Arishan led the group to look for Sun Mo.

Their group of people was originally about 50 people, but as they walked there, they drew the attention of several students who decided to follow them to watch a good show.

“Teacher Sun knows the art of spiritual control? You really dare to brag!”

Some students didn’t believe it. After all, some students had taken on personal teachers and they were very respectful toward their teachers. Hence, they didn’t like hearing people bragging about other teachers.

In any case, their personal teachers were the most impressive in their hearts.

Sun Mo was currently guiding Tuoba Cong, but his gaze involuntarily turned toward the 9 o’clock direction. There were simply too many people coming over.

“Is a group battle going to happen?”

Beardie frowned and stared into the distance.

The personality of barbarians was bold and unconstrained; their tempers were irascible. Even if they wanted to speak about logic, they would do that only after fighting.

Such an incident did happen before in the previous Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony.

“I’m looking for Teacher Sun!”

Arishan walked toward them. When he saw Beardie, he took the initiative to speak first.

“Teacher Sun!”

The students lowered their heads and bowed. Their voices were so loud that the sound could spread very far on the plains.

“Teacher Sun, your status is really great!”

Duanmu Li teased.

“Yeah!”

Arishan felt envious. He had been a teacher in the Dragon Subduing Academy for eight years, but some students still didn’t know who he was. This meant that his fame wasn’t great enough.

“Teacher Sun, look. There are so many of our students showing you respect. Please remain behind.”

Beardie took the chance to make Sun Mo stay.

Meow? Meow? Meow?

Arishan involuntarily looked over with shock in his gaze.

(What does this mean? Does Sun Mo not want to stay behind?)

But then again, it was normal when he thought about it. Sun Mo was so impressive. After he returned to the Central Plains, he could casually join the Jixia or the Westshore Military Academy. In fact, even for the Skyraise Academy, if their headmaster heard of Sun Mo’s achievements, he might personally issue an invitation for Sun Mo to join them.

Sigh!

(Who would have thought an intern teacher would be so impressive? Wait a minute! Something is wrong. If he was so impressive, why didn’t he directly seek employment at the supreme-tier schools in the Central Plains? Could he have committed some offenses?)

“Let’s speak about this topic later!”

Sun Mo cast a glance at Xiao Ri`nan and Ge Gen behind Arishan. “Is something the matter?”

Arishan quickly introduced the situation and then asked in curiosity, “Teacher Sun, do you really know the art of spiritual control?”

Swish~

Everyone pricked their ears up.

“Yes!”

Sun Mo nodded.

Si~

A moment later, the sounds of everyone inhaling a cold breath of air could be heard.

(Heavenly deities above, you really know it?!)

Arishan stared at Sun Mo with shock in his eyes. His lips trembled and almost blurted up. (Why don’t you just go to the heavens? You are so outstanding to such an extent. I will grow jealous ah!)

“Teacher Sun even knows the art of spiritual control?”

Duanmu Li was surprised.

“What’s your standard?”

Arishan continued to ask.

Sun Mo glanced at Xiao Ri`nan. Actually, he wasn’t willing to flaunt himself, but if he was humble now, Xiao Ri`nan might misunderstand and thought that Sun Mo had lied to him.

After all, for the sake of getting Xiao Ri`nan to change his major, Sun Mo did tell Xiao Ri`nan that he was a grandmaster spiritual controller.

Only then would his words have weight.

Sun Mo was still in conflict. But Mei Ziyu was good at understanding the situation and decided to interject.

“Teacher Sun is a grandmaster spiritual controller!”

After these words were spoken, the people here inhaled another breath of cold air.

Grandmaster?

(My heavens, what dishes did you eat yesterday? You can even brag like this?)

A great teacher would only be worthy of the title grandmaster if they had some accomplishments and deep attainments in certain fields of study.

(Sun Mo is already a near-ancestor spirit runist. Now, you are telling us that he is also a grandmaster spiritual controller? It is not that we don’t want to believe, but this is too far-fetched. Even if I drank a hundred vat of the strongest wine, I wouldn’t dare to brag like this!)

Shocking!

Truly shocking!

Beardie’s gaze was filled with astonishment as he looked at Sun Mo. As a receiver of examinees, he had seen the information reports of the examinees before.

However, he knew about Sun Mo even without needing to look at his info report.

Two-time champion, breaking every record, scoring full marks for all his written examinations with the subject ‘study of spiritual control’ included within.

“He’s actually already at the grandmaster-level?”

Beardie mused (I know you are very impressive, but I didn’t expect you to be so impressive to this extent. No wonder Murong Ye failed to headhunt you. I suddenly understand now.)

For someone of Sun Mo’s standard, even if they sat in their house doing nothing, they could simply wait for top-tier academies to come over and headhunt them. And as for their status, they would be able to get a vice headmaster position at the very least, or the recruiters wouldn’t have face to say anything.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Beardie +500. Respect (2,100/10,000).

“Teacher Sun, are you really a grandmaster spiritual controller?”

Ge Gen asked.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo nodded.

“...”

Ge Gen fell silent. After that, he glanced at Xiao Ri`nan. His lips twitched before he solemnly spoke, “Teacher, I trust you!”

“What do you mean by this? Could it be that Teacher Sun would lie to you?”

Beardie berated. After that, he looked at the students in the surroundings and spoke in a clear voice, “I can guarantee that Great Teacher Sun definitely has grandmaster-level expertise in the art of spiritual control.”

Given Sun Mo’s current fame, he would absolutely not lie, or he wouldn’t be able to make a living in the great teacher world. Moreover, there was still a Mei Ziyu following him around.

Who was she?

She was from Jixia Learning Palace, the daughter of Mei Yazhi!

Who was Mei Yazhi?

A near-ancestor level alchemist and she was known in the alchemy world as a leading character of the new generation. Her status was extremely high, so her daughter definitely wouldn’t speak nonsense.

Ge Gen didn’t speak. Rather, he walked toward Xiao Ri`nan and bowed in apology.

“Sorry, it was my mistake. I shouldn’t have doubted your ability.”

After Ge Gen spoke, he lifted his hand and slapped himself four times. “I was the one who lost because I’m not as skilled as my opponent.”

“You don’t have to do this.”

Earlier, Xiao Ri`nan wanted to hammer Ge Gen’s head until it exploded. But when he saw how sincere Ge Gen was, his anger also dissipated.

Although this fellow had some flaws in his character, he wouldn’t be overbearing and menacing toward people weaker than him.

“Student Xiao, why do you think the school chose to organize this competition?”

Sun Mo asked.

“To see the strength of the students and determine who are the geniuses. After that, rewards would be given to spur the geniuses on to work harder so they could climb higher.”

Xiao Ri`nan was very proud. (I’m also fighting for this glory.)

But as the sound of his voice faded, Sun Mo spoke out.

“Wrong!”

Sun Mo sighed, “It is to let you guys broaden your horizons, wanting you all to know yourselves clearly through the competition. This doesn’t only include your strength but also your mentality when it comes to handling things. For example, what sort of person you are, what flaws your character has, how you can do things better...”

The students mumbled to each other because Sun Mo’s answer was a little unexpected.

“The Dragon Subduing Academy has organized this for so many years. Do you think there’s no deeper meaning behind it? For a shallow thing like spurring the students to work harder, is there a need for them to hold such a large-scale event? Wouldn’t Priceless Advice from a great teacher be able to achieve the same thing?”

Sun Mo stared at Xiao Ri`nan. This youth regarded winning as something exceptionally important. Hence, he neglected many other things.

Beardie and Arishan involuntarily nodded. As expected, Teacher Sun was impressive. This was the first time Sun Mo participated in the autumn hunt and he already understood its true meaning.

Xiao Ri`nan was stunned. After that, he sank into contemplation as a question flashed in his mind. (Why does Teacher no longer refer to me as Ri`nan? Is it because he loathes me for bringing him trouble?)

This caused Xiao Ri`nan to feel a little worried.

(Forget it, don’t panic! This is just how one would address a student normally.)

“Student Xiao, don’t think too highly of yourself and don’t look down on others.”

Sun Mo was earnest and gave well-meaning advice. “Determining who are the geniuses? You are wrong. In the eyes of us great teachers, as long as the students could enter the school, they are all considered geniuses and have their own extraordinary aspects. Our responsibility is to excavate their talent and transform those who are ‘rocks’ into resplendent diamonds, allowing them to shine brilliantly with radiance.”

Bzz!

Golden light emitted from Sun Mo and illuminated the area.

Priceless Advice activated!

“Truly well-spoken!”

Beardie couldn’t help but applaud. As for Duanmu Li, he was looking at Sun Mo with a face filled with admiration.

This was then the vision and mentality a great teacher should have.

As for Arishan, he was stunned. He had also experienced many Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremonies before but had never thought so deeply about it. Every time, he only wanted to select a few impressive students and accept them as his personal students.

All students who entered the school were geniuses?

Everyone had extraordinary aspects?

How well-spoken was this!

Arishan suddenly felt a sense of being enlightened.

Through so many years, although he had also patiently answered questions of the students when they asked, he had never treated them as geniuses. On the contrary, he was on the lookout for impressive students because he hoped he could get an amazing personal student.

“I was wrong. I was always looking around for geniuses, but I didn’t expect that they are around me. My vision and judgment are too lacking, and I couldn’t see them.”

Arishan sighed ruefully. After that, he bent his back 90 degrees and bowed to Sun Mo.

“Teacher Sun’s words allow me to benefit tremendously. This student is endlessly grateful.”

Arishan addressed himself as a student because he was very grateful for Sun Mo’s guidance.

Was it embarrassing to say such a thing in public?

To great teachers, especially so for a middle-aged man like Arishan, it was naturally embarrassing. But Arishan also had the good intrinsic quality of great teachers.

Kindness, responsibility, seeking the truth from facts, knowing how to repay gratitude, setting himself as an example...

At this moment, Arishan not only thanked Sun Mo personally, but he also wanted to tell the students that one should know gratitude if they received guidance from someone.

“Teacher Arishan is praising me too much!”

Sun Mo modestly spoke and hurriedly dodged to the side, evading Arishan’s bow.

Since the other party was polite, he naturally would return the favor.

“Teacher Sun’s words are truly well-spoken!”

“As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to make it!”

Those students who usually had the lowest grades felt encouraged to do better now.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from the crowd +6,180.

“A bunch of salted fish!”

Xiao Ri`nan’s lips twitched and he even snuck a glance at Arishan.

Honestly speaking, he wasn’t very convinced by Sun Mo’s words earlier. A genius was a genius; there was nothing to dispute. (Otherwise, how can I defeat so many people despite my two legs being lame? There’s only a reason. I’m a genius.)

However, Xiao Ri`nan didn’t dare to refute Sun Mo’s words. At this very moment, a golden light suddenly erupted forth from Arishan. It was so eye-piercing and caused everyone to shield their eyes with their hands.

“What the hell?”

The students were badly shocked.

Even Beardie was stunned. T...this was comprehending a great teacher halo!

(Arishan, isn’t your luck a little too good?)

Mei Ziyu stood at the side and revealed a smile on her lips. (Very good, elder brother Sun can get another white star now.)
