Chapter 1076: Asking for Great Teacher Sun’s Guidance!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Many light spots suddenly appeared in the air as if they were fireflies. All of them gathered over and then flew toward Lu Zhiruo.

“What the hell?”

All the people standing in front of the Ancient Sage Rampart were surprised.

It was because there were too many light spots, and it was so bright that it was impossible for them to not see the light. Then, under their gazes, the light spots gathered onto the papaya girl, forming a silver halo.

“Young lady, I have confidence in you! Good luck!”

“Possessing intricate thoughts, also magnanimous and benevolent. She’s a kind girl. I’m definitely teaching this student!

“Study to achieve one’s ideals! Excellent! Excellent!”

Many imposing voices rang out in the Ancient Sage Building, surprising the over 1,000 onlookers, causing them to be stunned.

What were these?

These voices sounded like they came from major characters!

Moreover, this young lady seemed to be Sun Mo’s personal disciple. That light on her couldn’t be a great teacher halo, could it? They had never seen one like that before!

Lu Zhiruo had always been easily intimidated and hated to be in the center of the limelight. Therefore, she lowered her head and hid behind Li Ziqi.

“Eldest… Eldest Martial Sister, what is this?”

The papaya girl clutched onto the little sunny egg’s clothes, asking in a soft voice.

“I’m not sure either!”

Li Ziqi shook her head.

“It’s an Ancient Sage Halo. Congratulations, Senior Martial Sister Lu, those ancient sages have taken a liking to you.”

Qin Yaoguang had always been the well-informed one and this time around, it was no exception.

She explained in detail after seeing that everyone looked stunned.

Amongst the onlookers, there were members of influential clans and schools who knew about this secret and shared it with the others. After that, undulating surprised gasps kept on ringing out amongst the crowd.

“Those ancient sages will follow her for her entire life, becoming her great teachers and good friends?”

“My gosh, there’s such a good thing in this world? Why weren’t I the one to get it? How many good things has she done in her previous life?”

“It’s not just in her previous life. I reckon that one can only be so lucky after going through nine lifetimes as a kind person!”

The examinees looked at Lu Zhiruo. The envy and jealousy in their gazes were almost going to engulf her.

This young lady was only over ten years old and was definitely still a junior student.

Although everyone else was 3-stars, the Ancient Sage Halo didn’t care about this. (Even if you’re a 9-stars, if you don’t have it, you don’t. And there’s a very high chance that you will never be getting it in this lifetime.)

“Hold on, you’re saying that when a great teacher teaches a lesson and receives recognition from the ancient sages, they’ll turn into a halo and stay with a person for life?”

Someone noticed something. “But this girl hasn’t been teaching anything, right?”

“That’s right. What’s the reason behind this?”

No one could answer this. Therefore, everyone crowded over, wanting to make sense of things.

Lu Zhiruo felt even more scared and shrank further behind Li Ziqi.

As the eldest martial sister, the little sunny egg stood out.

“I’d like to ask this young student…”

A male great teacher who was slightly bald had just spoken up when he was interrupted by an examinee beside him.

“Hold on. She has passed the great teacher examination. You should address her as Teacher Li!”

This was a kind reminder.

It didn’t matter how bad they talked about Li Ziqi behind her back, but they must be careful of their words and courtesy when they spoke now. Otherwise, they’d be thought of as being rude.

“Is she that Li Ziqi who came in first place in the previous 1-star examination?”

“Isn’t she too young?”

“Aren’t you saying the obvious? She broke the record!”

The examinees didn’t recognize Li Ziqi, but everyone would have heard of her name unless they were the old fogies who had been training in seclusion.

Moreover, the reason everyone had to come to the Ancient Sage Building to participate in the examination, tolerating the pressure that shouldn’t have been borne by them, was all because of the feud between Li Ziqi and Secondary Saint Zhou.

They had finally seen her in person.

But to speak the truth, everyone didn’t complain about Li Ziqi. Instead, they felt even more displeased toward Secondary Saint Zhou after seeing how adorable she was.

(Why are you getting angry with such a young girl?)

“Teacher Li…”

The slightly bald teacher spoke up but was interrupted by Qin Yaoguang.

“Li Ziqi is our eldest martial sister. This is our second senior martial sister who is standing behind her. She’s called Lu Zhiruo.”

Qin Yaoguang introduced.

“Huh?”

Everyone was stunned.

What?

The one who had gained enlightenment to the Ancient Sage Halo wasn’t Li Ziqi?

“Can one comprehend great teacher halos even if they aren’t a great teacher?”

Someone felt baffled.

“I don’t think so, right?”

“This Miss Lu might be a great teacher too!”

“Are you kidding? This girl looks younger than Li Ziqi.”

Everyone didn’t believe it. Li Ziqi was a great teacher, and this fact alone was shocking enough. Yet they were being told that Sun Mo’s second disciple was also a great teacher?

Were they aware that envy could kill?

“The timing isn’t right either! The 1-star great teacher examination has just passed. If she participated too, she would have some reputation as well.”

The slightly bald great teacher inferred.

“Come on, aren’t intern teachers who don’t have the great teacher title but have comprehended Self-Taught Halo considered?”

Someone felt speechless. (I know that 3-stars great teachers are considered the cores of the great teacher world, but can they not be so conceited?)

“Comprehending the Self-Taught Halo at over ten years old? That’s also very terrifying!”

Everyone looked toward Lu Zhiruo.

“That’s right, my second junior martial sister has comprehended the Self-Taught Halo.”

Li Ziqi threw a glance at Helian Beifang and Qin Yaoguang, starting to wonder if she should expose them too.

In such a situation, exposing their names would definitely bring their teacher a great boost in his reputation. However, that’d also bring her junior martial siblings tremendous pressure.

Sssss!

The crowd was surprised; their gazes filled with astonishment and envy.

Wasn’t Sun Mo’s judgment in taking in disciples too good?

“What are you guys doing?”

Liang Hongda reproached.

“Vice Sect Lord!”

Everyone turned. When they saw that it was Liang Hongda, they quickly lowered their heads to greet him.

“What’s going on?”

Sun Mo instantly frowned when he saw the group of people surrounding Li Ziqi and the others. (I’ll crush the head of whoever dares to harm my disciples.)

“Senior Martial Sister Lu has gained enlightenment to the Ancient Sage Halo.”

Qin Yaoguang reported.

“What?”

Liang Hongda’s expression stiffened up along with the other examiners. All of them subconsciously looked at Lu Zhiruo.

(Why have you gained enlightenment to this great teacher halo when you didn’t teach any class?)

However, Liang Hongda’s expression quickly returned to normal and he turned to congratulate Sun Mo.

“Teacher Sun, congratulations on your great disciple gaining enlightenment!”

Mei Yazhi offered her congratulations as well.

Sun Mo quickly returned the greeting but thought to himself that Lu Zhiruo must have touched the hearts of these ancient sages with her noble ideals of letting the world become one, for there to be no wars, grief, pain, hunger, and sufferings.

Or could it be that she was just purely lucky?

This was why it was impossible to explain the luck of one with amazing luck.

Sun Mo had carefully prepared for his class, not resting for three days and three nights, almost taking out a large half of the philosophy and views he had learned in the modern world before he managed to convince these ancient sages. However, Lu Zhiruo suddenly gained enlightenment to it.

Thankfully she was his disciple. Otherwise, Sun Mo would feel so jealous that he’d lose a few years of his life.

“Alright, alright. The examination will continue. Jiang Meng, it’s your turn.”

Tong Yiming called out.

“Huh?”

The slightly bald great teacher instantly wore a dejected look. “Can another person go first?”

(Those ancient sages have just listened to Sun Mo’s teaching and are definitely still immersed in them, waiting for another big feast. If I were to go up now, it’d be as if I’ve brought over a bucket of feces. They’d beat me to death.)

“Why are you in a daze? Hurry up!”

Tong Yiming urged.

“Judge, I’d like to ask. If the class is taught too poorly, the sages won’t kill, will they?”

Pass?

Jiang Meng didn’t hold any hopes of passing anymore. His only goal at the moment was to not die in this place.

Jiang Meng walked toward the stairs by himself, and the other people didn’t crowd in front of the Ancient Sage Rampart either. Instead, they stayed by Sun Mo’s side, hoping that he could share some experience with them.

“Teacher Sun[1], seeing that we’re all great teachers, can you please help us?”

Jiang Meng, who was in the midst of walking, turned back again after hearing this.

“What are you up to?”

Tong Yiming frowned.

“I want to listen to some experience!”

Jiang Meng smiled.

“When you teach here, don’t think of teaching the things you excel in the most to those sages. No matter how knowledgeable you are, how would you be able to compare to them?”

Sun Mo wasn’t selfish and shared his experience with them.

“And don’t be on tenterhooks. Think of presenting your best side to them. Just treat this as a public class and those sages as your colleagues.

“Lastly, about the contents, just talk about some of your unique discoveries. It’s fine even if it’s fallacies or immature thoughts!”

Everyone present was 3-stars great teachers and they weren’t stupid. After hearing Sun Mo sharing his experience, they immediately gained some understanding.

This was like a person was situated in a place filled with fog, but someone suddenly reached out their hand to pull them up.

“Thank you, Teacher Sun[1] for your guidance!”

Jiang Meng bowed. He was no longer panicking and had a plan for his class.

“Thank you, Teacher Sun[1]!”

The other examinees also started bowing. In this short time, the bunch of people lowered their heads as if they were heavy wheat heads.

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony!”

Sun Mo gestured to everyone that there wasn’t a need to display such great courtesy.

Ding!

“Congratulations, you’ve won the favorable impression points from close to 1,000 great teachers. You’re rewarded with a seven-colored diamond treasure chest. Please keep up the good work.”

Ding!

“Congratulations, you’ve received a total of +12,090 favorable impression points.”

Ding!

“Congratulations, your disciple has gained enlightenment to the Ancient Sage Halo, taking a big step forward on the great teacher path. Rewarded with one golden treasure chest!”

The system congratulated and gave a series of three rewards.

Sun Mo touched the lucky mascot’s head and then instructed the system to open the chests.

Two skill books immediately popped up.

One of them was the Spiritual Control Technique Encyclopedia that recorded 100 types of non-mainstream spiritual control techniques.

The other one was the Beast Taming Secret Art, imparting three rarely-seen beast taming techniques.

They were both very practical.

Some great teachers wanted to talk with Sun Mo, but he rejected them on the pretext that he was too tired.

He wanted to go back and get a long sleep first.

“Everyone go back and sleep!”

“The personal disciples battle will be up next. Everyone should just wait quietly and don’t create trouble for Teacher.”

As the little sunny egg said this, she looked toward Xuanyuan Po. “You, especially. You aren’t allowed to register for it secretly by yourself.”

“Why?”

The combat addict was displeased.

After great teachers passed the first round of the examination, they could register for their disciples—at most three of them. Sun Mo had decided for Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo to take part.. Now, both Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu wanted the last remaining slot.
