Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1302 Promotion and Pay Increase, the Magnanimity of Saints!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Why must humans suffer so much when living in the world? Once they gave up and conceded to fate, ignoring those dreams that were so lofty that it was impossible to achieve, they could also feel happiness.

Recently, Sun Mo had been living the life of a salted fish, and he felt that it was extremely satisfying.

Given his teaching capabilities, he didn’t even need to prepare for his lectures. After the three scheduled lectures per day, he would spend his remaining time relaxing by eating and playing.

Right now, Sun Mo didn’t know whether he would be happy or not if he became a saint, but he knew that he was very happy to be able to bed a girl every night. This was especially so that Gu Xiuxun had some slight

inclinations toward being a masochist, so even without needing Sun Mo to take the initiative, she would start exploring new positions.

“Find an opportunity, me and Ziyu will serve you together.”

Gu Xiuxun was very clingy like a little woman, making sure Sun Mo was very comfortable.

However, Sun Mo’s days of happiness only lasted a few days before trouble arrived.

At the grand school meeting, Ji Shiwen announced publicly that Sun Mo would join the Skyraise Academy as a vice headmaster.

When the students heard this news, they were initially shocked. But soon after that, they began cheering and praising the headmaster for being brilliant.

During this one month, Sun Mo had proven his capabilities with his lectures. His title as the Number One Great Teacher of the Nine Provinces was well-deserved.

If such a great teacher joined the school, it would be far more convenient for them to consult him since he was so near.

“Using the position of a vice headmaster to recruit Ancestor Sun. This is too worth it!”

The students discussed and felt that their headmaster was simply too supportive. (Our Skyraise Academy will definitely continue standing at the peak of the Nine Provinces. No other school can match us.)

The vast majority of great teachers were applauding as they supported this decision. In that case, everyone would have more chances to consult Sun Mo in the future.

Sun Mo’s Skyward Spirit Rune, God Hands, various magical medicinal packets, spirit rune handgun, and other instruments…any one of them would cause people to feel intense envy.

The networth of these great teachers was naturally high enough to afford them, but the supply couldn’t meet the demand, so they weren’t able to purchase any. However, now that Sun Mo had become their colleague,

things could be easily negotiated.

On the other hand, the upper echelons of the academy had heavy expressions on their faces and an uneasy feeling.

Ji Shiwen was someone who occupied the headmaster position with his immense strength and capabilities. His leading style was just and strict, and he didn’t care about connections. However, now that he suddenly

pushed Sun Mo up to a vice headmaster position, many people were wondering if this was his preparation to make Sun Mo his successor.

Because of this, the three vice headmasters exchanged a look and could see hints of worry in the gazes of each other.

It was fine if Ji Shiwen wanted to treat Sun Mo like a VIP, giving him top-level secret treasures, top-level cultivation arts, or even marrying a daughter to him. But the position of headmaster must never be touched. This

was everyone’s bottom line.

Outsiders had never been permitted to share in this large cake that was the Skyraise Academy.

“Even if it’s a piece of smelly meat, it has to rot in our pot!”

Luo Yueman coldly snorted and stood up. “Headmaster, before Great Teacher Sun becomes a vice headmaster, I have a matter that I wish to consult you about!”

“Consult me after the meeting ends!”

Ji Shiwen also wasn’t someone easy to deal with. He knew that since Luo Yueman had spoken out at such a moment, he definitely wanted to create chaos. Hence, he rejected the request.

“This matter concerns the Ultimate Divine Art of our school, it’s a very important matter. If we don’t resolve it quickly, it will be a huge negative influence on Great Teacher Sun’s reputation.”

Luo Yueman was currently 500 years old and was a secondary saint. It was unknown how many storms had he weathered up until this point. Because of it, he was very experienced and casually forced Sun Mo into a

death trap with a few words.

As expected, upon hearing that this matter had something to do with Sun Mo, everyone immediately started whispering to each other as their thirst for gossip rose.

Ji Shiwen stared at Sun Mo, having roughly guessed what was happening, but he also understood he wasn’t able to suppress this.

“Secondary Saint Luo, how can I help you?”

Since the other party addressed him as ‘Great Teacher Sun’, it was clear that Luo Yueman treated him as an outsider. Hence, Sun Mo would naturally not show warm feelings while knowing it would be met with a cold

rebuke.

“I wish to ask Great Teacher Sun where did you learn your Grand Universe Formless Divine Art?”

Luo Yueman clasped his hands.

Hua~

The entire scene was in an uproar as countless gazes turned to Sun Mo in astonishment.

The Grand Universe Formless Divine Art was the ultimate divine art of the Skyraise Academy. During the earliest periods, only headmaster candidates had the qualifications to learn this. However, Ji Shiwen stood

against the opinion of the masses and changed the rule. He felt that as long as the students had outstanding talents and had no great problems with their morale, the students would be able to learn it.

After that, all the vice headmasters insisted on adding one more rule – loyalty to the school.

But no matter what, it was extremely difficult for students of the school to learn this cultivation art. Since Sun Mo was an outsider, he naturally stood no chance.

Unless he learned it secretly.

However, secretly learning something was a great taboo in all industries. Once this was confirmed, Sun Mo’s reputation would be finished.

Since the great teachers had broader horizons compared to these students, when they heard how Luo Yueman was questioning Sun Mo, they immediately knew that Luo Yueman must have acquired some evidence. If

not, he would have asked ‘did you learn it or not?’ instead of ‘where did you learn’.

“I learned it from a wooden blade!”

Sun Mo’s expression was calm.

However, the teachers and students on the scene took in a breath of cold air and felt that Sun Mo was finished. (Do you know how precious the ultimate divine art of our school is?)

How could it appear on a wooden blade?

“In that case, where is that wooden blade?”

Luo Yueman asked.

The gazes of everyone subconsciously turned to the wooden blade hanging on Sun Mo’s waist.

Sun Mo then took it out and passed it to Ji Shiwen.

He didn’t pass it to Luo Yueman because he was worried Luo Yueman might channel his spirit qi to vibrate and break the wooden blade. At that time, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself even if he was telling the

truth. “Everyone can come and verify this!”

Without needing Sun Mo to say, the upper echelons had already crowded over.

“Old Qian, you are an ancestor-level weaponsmith. Come and identify the origin of this wooden blade!”

Ji Shiwen passed the wooden blade to an old man.

Since Ji Shiwen was the headmaster and was also supporting Sun Mo, he naturally had to do things in a fair and aboveboard manner to avoid gossip. Moreover, although he handed the wooden blade over, he was

confident enough to be able to snatch it back if anyone wanted to destroy it.

“Mn!”

Old Qian took out a handkerchief to receive the wooden blade.

He didn’t doubt Sun Mo’s character. If the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art was truly inscribed on the wooden blade, it would definitely be an object of great origins that had to be protected.

The wooden blade was two-fingers thick, and the arc of its edge was extremely beautiful.

“This wooden blade is made from black sandalwood. Its material’s quality is tougher, equal to the hardness of iron. Hence, it isn’t easy if one wants to engrave words on it!”

Old Qian identified. “This wood also emits a weak fragrance that won’t disperse even after several decades. It has the miraculous effect of dispelling nightmares and calming one’s heart down.”

“Old Qian, get to the main point!”

Luo Yueman reminded him.

“From the wooden blade’s style, it should be a masterpiece created by Grandmaster Zou, Zou Wuye, of the Liang Province. At the very least, he must have spent three years creating this.”

Sun Mo cast a glance at Old Qian and silently exclaimed in admiration. His judgment wasn’t bad.

Swish~ Swish~

Old Qian then held the hilt of the blade and felt an incredible balance, so he involuntarily waved it around. After that, he flipped it and revealed the hilt.

Over here, there were some small-sized glyphs, with words as majestic as dragons and phoenixes, exuding a sense of gracefulness.

“Beautiful!” Old Qian praised.

“These words are clearly from a great calligrapher.”

Everyone nodded. These words were indeed beautiful, and they would delight the eyes and hearts of those seeing them. Someone couldn’t help but read the words out.

“It’s night now with dark clouds hanging low. I fought against my good friend in a battle of chess for three months and had yet to suffer a single defeat. Under my euphoria, I engraved the Grand Universe Formless

Divine Art on this wooden blade. Let this be a gift to someone fated.”

Everyone exchanged glances.

From the looks of things, it truly didn’t look like Sun Mo had learned this secretly. After all, no ordinary person would be able to write with such great calligraphy skills.

Luo Yueman became somewhat unhappy when he saw everyone’s expression. Sun Mo’s fame was simply too great and in addition to the fact that everyone wanted to forge a good relationship with him, these people

would instinctively try to find reasons to help Sun Mo get out of this.

As expected, Old Qian helped to speak out for him.

“Ordinary people won’t be able to write so beautifully. Also, this wooden blade is quite ancient.”

“Hmph!”

Luo Yueman reminded them. “Everyone, don’t forget that Sun Mo has the title ‘Dual-Sage in Calligraphy and Painting’. Also, he himself is skilled in archeology. It won’t be difficult for him if he wants to create a fake ‘old

wooden blade’.”

Everyone was shocked.

There was indeed such a possibility.

After that, they started to sigh in admiration and shock.

This Sun Mo was truly overflowing with talent.

“Secondary Saint Luo, what do you mean by this?”

Sun Mo frowned. “Before the results are conclusive, don’t you find it very lacking in morals to publicly sully an 8-stars great teacher?”

The other great teachers didn’t interrupt, but their hearts shuddered as they sensed Sun Mo’s tyranny and unyieldingness.

“An 8-stars against a secondary saint. Their statuses actually don’t differ by that much!”

“Based on fame, Sun Mo’s fame is much greater compared to Secondary Saint Luo.”

“Why is he doing this?”

Everyone started whispering, feeling that there was no need to have a conflict over this matter. In any case, Sun Mo had learned the cultivation art, so rather than blaming him, they might as well use this to negotiate

for some benefits.

For example, the Skyward Spirit Rune or the Great Dream Heart Sutra in exchange.

Secondary Saint Luo stared at Sun Mo’s outrageously young face and felt a little dumbfounded.

Secondary saints had esteemed statuses. Hence, it was unknown how many people he had scolded before, and no one had ever dared to rebut. This was especially so for young people. Even if they were unconvinced,

they had to bear it. But today, Sun Mo actually shot back.

“Everyone, the number of people who knows the divine art isn’t a lot, right?”

Sun Mo spoke, “Not anyone can write so beautifully. Besides, from these words, someone who could be so happy to the point where they engraved such a valuable cultivation art on a wooden blade just because they

won at chess probably had an opponent who was exceedingly skilled at it. Only then would they feel extremely proud of themselves after they won.”

From this, one could deduce that the person who had engraved the words had exceedingly strong chess skill.

“That’s right!”

Everyone nodded. Through these three conditions, everyone already had a person in mind.

And it was none other than Ji Shiwen’s personal teacher, the previous headmaster of the Skyraise Academy. His greatest hobby was collecting chess manuals.

“Teacher Luo, I actually knew about this matter long ago!”

Ji Shiwen explained. “When I got Bai Shang to go to the Central Province Academy, it was precisely to investigate this matter. We discovered later on that the wooden blade belonged to my teacher. Hence, I gave up on

pursuing it.”

This could already be considered as helping Sun Mo.

“Why didn’t you take the wooden blade back?”

Luo Yueman was unhappy as he understood that he could no longer blame Sun Mo for this matter.

“My teacher already said to let this be a gift for someone fated. How can I go against his wishes? Besides, given the talent and potential Sun Mo has displayed, why would I need to make things difficult for him?”

Ji Shiwen counter-asked.

Everyone felt a lingering fear. Back then, if Ji Shiwen wanted to act against Sun Mo, he would have thoroughly offended Sun Mo. If that happened, how would there be an exchange with a harmonious atmosphere like

now?

Luo Yueman was speechless to counter this.

“Actually, I’ve long since felt unhappy with the way we handle the ultimate divine art of our school. No matter how high the tier and grade of a cultivation art is, it is something dead. It can only unleash its greatest value

when it lands in the hands of humans. However, you guys are too selfish and want to monopolize it.”

Ji Shiwen reproached them. “If you all really want to let the Grand Universe Divine Formless Art shake the Nine Provinces with its name, we should allow more people to learn it and use it to conquer the Darkness

Continent, using it to defeat formidable enemies. That would be its most perfect belonging.

“| hope everyone can understand that the strength of our Skyraise Academy isn’t built solely upon a single cultivation art. So what if people learn it?

“I hope that in the future, the cultivation art created by the teachers and students of our school will be qualified enough to contend against the ultimate divine art of other famous schools and become a family

heirloom!

“Everyone, a cultivation art is like a sharp blade, only by holding it in your hand can you kill your enemies. Keeping it inside a vault is actually the greatest blasphemy to it.

“| hereby, represent the teachers and students of the entire school to plead with everyone here. Let us openly teach the school’s ultimate divine art!”

As Ji Shiwen spoke, he dipped into a 90-degree bow to Luo Yueman.

Luo Yueman’s countenance immediately grew unsightly.

He knew that he got played.

Ji Shiwen had been intentionally allowing him to make trouble for Sun Mo. After that, Ji Shiwen would use this opportunity to abolish the iron rule that only headmaster candidates of the Skyraise Academy could learn

the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art.

After all, Ji Shiwen had been trying to push this notion through for many years.

As a result, the three vice headmasters on the scene no longer dared to speak.

if they rejected it right now, they would be hated to death by all the teachers and students of the Skyraise Academy. And if that was the case, they would never have a chance to sit in the headmaster’s position in the

future.

Because of this display, Sun Mo began to look at Ji Shiwen in a new light.

(Isn’t his magnanimity a little too great?)

Honestly, Sun Mo would at most teach the peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts to his closest personal students. He would surely feel reluctant to openly teach them to all the teachers and students in the Central

rovince Academy.

if not, what would be the difference between him and a wastrel?

ff that was the case, his ancestors would surely be so angry that they would jump out of their graves and use the coffin board to smash his head.

Although Sun Mo had become a vice headmaster, as a newbie, he still wasn’t qualified to participate in the authority struggle between members of the upper echelons.

Even Ji Shiwen understood that it was not realistic to teach everyone such a divine art. So in the end, they negotiated, and it was fixed that during the end of every year, students who achieved the top ten rankings

would have the qualifications to learn this ultimate divine art.

Once this news circulated out, an uproar shook the entire school, and everyone started focusing and giving their utmost in learning. They wanted nothing more than to score high and become one of the top ten at the

end of the year.

Sun Mo’s popularity surged further because he possessed God Hands that could allow people to break through. Hence, he was surrounded by students every day, wanting to receive his guidance.

“Why do I feel like I’m busier now?”

After Sun Mo got off from Gu Xiuxun’s body, he sighed. Ji Shiwen truly didn’t treat him as an outsider and had started arranging work for him.

This was clearly nurturing him to become the next headmaster.

“This is a chance that others would dream about even in their sleep!”

Gu Xiuxun rolled her eyes and only felt how miraculous fate was. The old headmaster had ‘abandoned’ Sun Mo, but a short while later, the Skyraise Academy had sent an olive branch over. No…an olive tree instead.

“Sun Mo. Tell me honestly, are you the illegitimate son of Saint Ji?”

Sun Mo directly pointed a middle finger.

In the following days, Sun Mo almost died from being overly busy, and this made him feel very unhappy. However, just when he was trying to find an excuse to relax and hide somewhere, a major incident occurred..
