Absolute Great Teacher Novel - Chapter 1054
Chapter 1054: Obtaining Another Great Teacher Halo
“If you have nothing else, I’m going to rest.”
The system decided to admit defeat and retreat.
There was no solution to it. It was worried Sun Mo might hold it to its words. Earlier, because of its confidence, it had said a sentence it shouldn’t have.
“Wait a minute, when are you going to hand me over 100 great teacher halos?”
Sun Mo mocked.
(Who told you to look down on your daddy? Are you afraid now?)
“Eh? Did I say that before?”
The system chortled and feigned ignorance.
“You should give me at least a single one, right?”
Sun Mo also knew that 100 great teacher halos weren’t realistic. Hence, he rather settled for the second-best thing and tried to see if he could get one free halo from the system. “Even if the halo is useless, I don’t mind!”
“Alright then!”
The system sighed.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations on inventing a spirit rune that can allow someone to fly, achieving something that will receive worldwide attention. You have truly become an ancestor-level spirit runist. Special reward: 1x great teacher halo!”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations on obtaining the great teacher halo, Meteoric Rise. Please continue to work hard.”
The system notification rang out twice.
“Wait a minute. Why is it Meteoric Rise?”
Sun Mo frowned. “Are you pranking me?”
(I know how to fly now, but you are still giving me this?)
“You can return it if you don’t want!”
The system felt very sullen. “Do you think I want to give it to you? The number of great teachers who comprehended this halo in the Nine Provinces is very few, not more than ten.”
“So few?”
Sun Mo was shocked.
“If one wants to comprehend Meteoric Rise, they have to fulfill three conditions. Firstly, the great teacher has to have lofty aspirations and a broad vision. What he sees shouldn’t be the current state of things but the world’s future.
“Secondly, he has to have extraordinary talent that places him above the others. He has to experience what’s known as ‘ascending to the heavens with a single step’, basking in honor and glory!
“Thirdly, it is imagination. He must not be willing to be bound by the earth and has a heartfelt desire to soar above the nine heavens!”
The system explained.
Truthfully speaking, if one wanted to comprehend this extremely rare halo, the mind of that great teacher wouldn’t belong to the category of ordinary people. They were either a madman or a brave and chivalrous hero…
They must have a spirit that was capable of grabbing the moon in the skies, containing the vastness of five oceans in his heart. He must be open-minded, capable of lifting his head and laughing at the heavens, flying with the birds and floating with the clouds.
The heart states of those who could comprehend this weren’t something others could know.
“Do you know that this halo isn’t for sale in the merchant store? Even if you use ten million favorable impression points, it’s useless. But now, you gained it for free. Why are you not thanking me yet?”
The system spoke sullenly.
“Please go and rest then!”
Sun Mo waved his hands.
The system didn’t say it wrongly. Such a rare halo would definitely not be for sale. But who told Sun Mo to have created a flying-type spirit rune?
One could say that despite Meteoric Rise being a great treasure, at this moment, Sun Mo didn’t have any use for it.
Sun Mo knew that Li Ziqi and the others must be very anxious. Hence, he called out to them.
“Come in!”
Gua~
His students who were all extremely impatient hurriedly rushed in.
“Teacher, are you okay?” Qin Yaoguang mumbled. “Do you want to eat anything?”
But at the next instant, she closed her mouth as she stared dumbfoundedly at that piece of floating paper above the desk.
“Teacher!”
The others obediently greeted.
“Teacher, what did you invent?”
Lu Zhiruo immediately rushed to Sun Mo’s side and squatted beside him. She then lifted her head and blinked her large eyes as she looked at him. She was truly extremely adorable.
Her junior martial sister Qin Yaoguang told her that she must do this so she wouldn’t be punished.
During Sun Mo’s seclusion, Lu Zhiruo had heard Li Ziqi mentioning the secret behind the silver box. If the attempt to open the lock failed, it would be locked for 100 years.
This almost scared the papaya girl to death.
“Teacher, t…this is?”
The others were more meticulous and their gazes were on that piece of spirit rune paper.
“This is my invention after a month plus of hard work!”
Sun Mo smiled. “How is it?”
At this moment, Sun Mo was confident and proud. As a teacher, one naturally should have accomplishments that were worthy of pride. If not, what capabilities did you have to teach these outstanding students?
This spirit rune was completely invented by him. Moreover, it could be ranked within the top ten masterpieces in the entire history of the study of spirit runes.
Sun Mo had no reason not to be proud.
“What spirit rune is this?”
Lu Zhiruo stretched out her head to look. She was a little slower than the others and didn’t realize what she was seeing. But Li Ziqi, Qin Yaoguang, Tantai Yutang, and Jiang Leng all had shocked looks in their gazes.
“C…could this be a flying-type spirit rune?”
Tantai Yutang laughed twice dryly before turning back to Sun Mo. At the same time, he added another sentence in his heart. If this was a flying spirit rune, his teacher would definitely cause a commotion that would shake the entire Nine Provinces.
Yes, not only the spirit rune world. It was the entire Nine Provinces.
Although the sickly invalid didn’t like the study of spirit runes, he dabbled in it and had done some research about it. He knew that in the spirit rune world, there was no such thing as a Flying Spirit Rune.
“Yes!”
Sun Mo’s tone of certainty caused all his students to inhale a breath of cold air.
“Ah?”
Lu Zhiruo exclaimed in shock. She had a look of joy on her face. “Does that mean that after I tattoo this, I will be able to fly?”
“You can float and do some actions that are not too intense. If you move too quickly, you will lose balance and fall.”
Sun Mo explained.
“That’s also very impressive.”
Qin Yaoguang praised.
The others hurriedly nodded.
This wasn’t them fawning on Sun Mo. Rather, they truly felt a sense of worship.
Something that could allow humans to fly and conquer the sky. What a great achievement this was?
“Teacher, c…can I try it?”
Xianyu Wei lifted her hand.
She was a girl from the plains and worshipped freedom the most. Usually, she liked riding on wild horses, galloping everywhere through the plains.
“Let Jiang Leng do it!”
Sun Mo just so nicely wanted to test the spirit rune’s effect.
Among these students, Jiang Leng was the most reliable. Even if something happened, he would be able to handle it given his quick-wittedness.
Ying Baiwu and Xuanyuan Po would be the next in line in terms of his choice. Tantai Yutang could also work, but his body might become a burden.
Very soon, Sun Mo drew the Flying Spirit Rune on Jiang Leng’s chest.
“Slowly channel your spirit qi into it and pay attention to control your balance. If you feel discomfort, terminate the flow of spirit qi immediately!”
Sun Mo warned.
Because this was a temporary-type spirit rune, its function wasn’t too stable.
Jiang Leng drew in a deep breath and infused spirit qi into the rune. The area before his chest began to glow with a light-blue light. After that, his entire person slowly floated into the air.
“Wow!”
Lu Zhiruo covered her mouth.
The other students were all very excited as well.
This was the first time Jiang Leng had used the Flying Spirit Rune, and he wasn’t too proficient in controlling it. His head hit the ceiling and after that, he was like a soap bubble floating up and down.
“Can its speed be quicker?”
Qin Yaoguang’s lips twitched. “If that’s just it, it won’t have any meaning in combat.”
“It’s already good enough that it can fly. Do you want a flying chariot instead?”
Tantai Yutang rebutted.
Qin Yaoguang basically didn’t understand that all types of inventions were created from nothing to something, starting from a simple design to becoming a complete product. It was impossible to go from 0 to 100 right at the start.
Now that floating was possible, given their teacher’s talent, he would be able to create a spirit rune that allowed you to truly fly during combat after three years.
“How do you feel?”
Sun Mo asked.
“I feel some heat before my chest. Hmm… and a little dizzy too. There’s no sense of security at all.”
As land-bound creatures, it was truly a little scary if both of their feet weren’t on the ground. One would always want to stretch out their hands to grab something to maintain their balance.
Li Ziqi was a professional little assistant. She immediately took out her notebook and started recording the observation.
She would also occasionally add a sentence or two to help with problems that Sun Mo might have overlooked.
…
In his study room, Bai Wenzhang was clearly distracted.
(What impressive spirit rune is Sun Mo currently researching? He has actually been in seclusion for over a month? I really want to know!)
“Teacher, what spirit rune did you invent previously?”
Xiao Feng steeped the tea and smiled as he asked.
“Didn’t I tell you not to inquire about it anymore?”
Bai Wenzhang frowned.
“But we are very curious. Moreover, both Teacher Cui and Teacher Yan Sui have privately asked me quite a few times. They felt that I was withholding the knowledge from them and didn’t treat them as family.”
Xiao Feng bitterly smiled.
“If they asked you again, just tell them I gave the spirit rune to Sun Mo. Also, tell them not to disturb Sun Mo.”
Bai Wenzhang was unhappy.
Although this wasn’t the first time Xiao Feng had heard such words, he still felt so jealous that he wanted to puke.
(Why did you give it to Sun Mo? I’m your personal student! I’ll be the one taking care of you when you grow frail and also the one sending you off in a funeral. Who is Sun Mo? Can he do that?)
“Can you tell me the name at least?”
Xiao Feng could only settle for the second-best thing.
“Stop asking.”
Bai Wenzhang berated.
“Dean, Sun Mo is out of seclusion!”
A servant had followed Bai Wenzhang’s instructions and waited outside Sun Mo’s guest room. After discovering that Sun Mo was out of seclusion, he immediately rushed over to report this to Bai Wenzhang.
“Excellent!”
Bai Wenzhang was extremely joyful. He rose and headed outward.
Xiao Feng followed behind him, but when they were about 50+ meters away from the guest room, they were stopped by Bai Wenzhang
“You guys wait here. Without my instructions, no one is to go near.”
Bai Wenzhang was worried that Sun Mo’s invention might be leaked.
He didn’t enter immediately as well. He stood at a location over ten meters away from the door and greeted politely, “Teacher Sun, good afternoon!”
“Dean, please enter!”
Bai Wenzhang had given him the Spiritwave Cannon Spirit Rune and even wanted him to take over the Dragonspirit Manor. Hence, Sun Mo had nothing to hide from him.
Bai Wenzhang just entered the guest room and wanted to speak. However, he was stunned.
Because Jiang Leng was still floating in the air.
“This is…”
For a time, Bai Wenzhang didn’t dare to believe his eyes.
“It’s the Flying Spirit Rune!”
Sun Mo smiled. “I still have to thank you for giving me that silver box. There was a metallic puppet inside there and it gave me the inspiration!”
“Ah? You’ve already opened that box?”
Bai Wenzhang was shocked. (Isn’t this too quick?)
“It was opened by my disciple.”
Sun Mo passed the metallic puppet to Bai Wenzhang.
“Oh, which one?”
Bai Wenzhang was astonished. It seemed like Li Ziqi wasn’t the only one outstanding out of Sun Mo’s disciples.
“It’s her!”
Sun Mo patted Lu Zhiruo’s shoulders.
“I…I did it by coincidence!”
Lu Zhiruo didn’t dare to claim the credit.
“Don’t be modest, luck is also a part of strength.”
Bai Wenzhang encouraged her. He then lowered his head to inspect the metallic puppet. “This should be a product from an ancient civilization. Can it fly?”
“I think it can? But I only saw it flying for maybe about tens of seconds.”
Sun Mo told Bai Wenzhang the matter of him seeing the metallic puppet randomly flying and his thoughts about making a flying rune.
“Your observation ability is very great.”
Bai Wenzhang was impressed. He stared at Jiang Leng. “What is its name? Isn’t the name of ‘Flying Spirit Rune’ a little too tacky? This is a world-shaking invention!”
