Translator: Lordbluefire
“When it comes to spamming money, you won’t be able to win against Sun Mo. Sun Mo rose to 4-stars in one stretch, no…5-stars. He is a new rising superstar that created a brand new record and is also a great ancestor spirit runist. His eldest disciple is the most beloved princess of the Great Tang Emperor. His second disciple, forget it. I would scare you to death if I revealed her identity!”
Wan Kangcheng shook his head. “Tell me, what do you have to make Sun Mo draw a spirit rune for you? Just because your face is big?!”
Wu Pan was scolded so badly until he became depressed.
“Oh right, Sun Mo is deeply respected by Headmaster Song and has been named as the honorary headmaster by him. This matter has passed through the votes by all the members of the upper echelon. Three days later, it will be announced to the entire school!”
Wan Kangcheng divulged another matter of immense proportions and directly stunned Wu Pan.
“Sun Mo…No, Great Teacher Sun is only 20+ years old, right? How can he have such dazzling achievements?”
Only now did Wu Pan understand how much he had underestimated Sun Mo earlier!
Many great teachers over 50 years old might not have as many achievements as him!
…
During these few days, many incidents like the one between Wan Kangcheng and Wu Pan happened. The famous great teachers of the Black-White Academy were hounded by their friends and families who wanted to get Skyward Spirit Runes for themselves. However, all of them were rejected with no exceptions.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help. They themselves couldn’t even get the spirit rune despite wanting it.
There was no solution for it. In this entire world, no one knew this spirit rune other than Sun Mo.
…
On the ninth day of the month, in the morning…
The sun was warm and gentle. The school conducted an entire school meeting, and Song Yan announced publicly that Sun Mo had become the honorary headmaster of the Black-White Academy.
Among great teachers, they had been discussing this topic hence they weren’t too shocked. However, for the students who didn’t know anything, they were completely dumbfounded.
Usually speaking, a position like an honorary headmaster was assumed by aged great teachers with very high star rankings. Wasn’t Sun Mo a little too young?
However, after thinking of Sun Mo’s achievements, everyone understood.
Geniuses naturally were cherished and loved more than others!
After that, thunderous applause rang out. No students were against this decision. After all, during this period, Sun Mo had used God Hands and his spirit rune techniques to completely convince everyone.
One couldn’t help but say that since he could help an 8-stars great teacher to break through his bottleneck and ascend to the secondary saint realm, he was worthy of the title ‘honorary headmaster’.
Not only students, but even some great teachers were also rejoicing. Now that Sun Mo had become their honorary headmaster, they would definitely find it easier to consult him for guidance if they ran into any problems in the future.
The meeting ended and everyone was happy.
“Headmaster Song, I’m preparing to return to Jinling and will leave the day after tomorrow.”
After the meeting ended, Sun Mo went to bid farewell to Headmaster Song. If it wasn’t for him wanting to wait for those great teachers he recruited, Sun Mo actually wanted to head back this afternoon.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Why don’t you stay for a few more days?”
Song Yan tried to make him stay, wanting Sun Mo to continue staying here forever.
“It’s fine. I still have a bunch of matters to deal with at school.”
Sun Mo missed his students. They had been apart for a year, and he wondered how they were.
“Allow me to send you off during this afternoon then?”
Headmaster Song instructed his assistant to head to the school canteen to prepare a feast.
Xie Enhui who was beside him was prepared to praise Sun Mo, but she suddenly saw a group of soldiers coming over from the pathway.
This caused her to frown.
The Black-White Academy was a sacred ground for learning. Hence, the first generation headmaster had decreed that no horses and carriages could be driven here to avoid harming others.
However, after so many years, there were bound to be some changes to the rules.
For example, great teachers whose ranks were 7-stars or above could be seated on a horse or a carriage to travel around the campus for the sake of saving time.
At the same time, the royalty of Liao Country also had the qualifications to do so.
After all, Liaojin was the capital of the Great Liao Country, and the Black-White Academy was the national school of Great Liao. They received education funding from Great Liao every year and if they didn’t give a little preferential treatment to the royal clan, it would be too nice then.
The carriages put up red-colored flags of flying dragons and there was a golden character ‘Liao’ on them. After that, when one saw the accompanying soldiers who formed into a magnificent team of honor guards, they immediately knew that the person arriving was the Great Liao Emperor.
Song Yan led a group of people over to welcome him.
“Headmaster Song, it has been several days since you exited your seclusion. I didn’t manage to come over with gifts then, please forgive me!”
A man wearing dragon-style robes jumped off his carriage and strode over with large steps. The words he spoke sounded very grand and heroic.
His build was extremely sturdy, and he looked like a brown bear.
“Good afternoon, Emperor!”
Song Yan led a group of teachers as they greeted in unison.
Although Song Yan could simply not care about Emperor Xiao Luqi, he understood the ways of the world. If you respected someone, that person would naturally return your respect.
After chatting idly for a while, Xiao Luqi’s vision landed on Sun Mo. His eyes involuntarily brightened as he marveled at how good-looking Sun Mo was.
Even though he wasn’t acquainted with Sun Mo, he wouldn’t recognize him wrongly.
Since there was such a young teacher standing beside Song Yan, there wouldn’t be anyone else save for Sun Mo.
“I believe this must be God Hands, Sun Mo, Great Teacher Sun?”
Xiao Luqi smiled.
“I’m precisely him!”
Sun Mo also revealed a societal smile.
The feeling that this emperor gave him wasn’t like a sovereign that stood above the masses. He was like a big brother from the pugilistic world instead.
However, this wasn’t strange. Before the Great Liao empire was formed, the people here were just a group of nomads and didn’t have any historical inheritance.
“I have long since heard that a new unmatched genius has been born in the great teacher world. Now that I’ve met you today, indeed, the rumors are true. It is my fortune to meet you!”
Xiao Luqi laughed uproariously and took the initiative to head forward and hugged Sun Mo.
“I didn’t expect that the Liao Emperor would be so good at exchanging pleasantries!”
Gu Xiuxun, who was in the crowd, couldn’t help but comment. After that, she felt somewhat envious. When would she be able to make an emperor regard her so highly?
Everyone wasn’t silly. They could tell that Xiao Luqi was here for Sun Mo. Hence, when Xiao Luqi mentioned that he wanted one of his sons to take Sun Mo as a personal teacher, no one was surprised.
Since a future saint was at one’s doorstep, if they didn’t grab hold of the opportunity, that would be true stupidity.
To the royalty, there were plenty of princes and princesses, so it wasn’t a bad investment to bind one of them to a genius great teacher to nurture a good teacher and student relationship.
One could say that all royalties of the Nine Provinces were doing this.
Naturally, if the royal clan regarded a great teacher very highly, the prince they sent would surely be one with higher status. For example, the personal teacher of the current crown prince of Great Liao was none other than Song Yan.
“This is my youngest son. He is birthed by the concubine I dote on the most!”
After Xiao Luqi finished speaking, he roared at an 8-year-old male kid, “Why are you not paying your respects and kneeling to your esteemed teacher yet?”
The boy immediately knelt.
“Disciple Xiao Feng pays respect to Teacher!”
As the little boy spoke, he was about to kowtow.
“Wait a moment!” Sun Mo spoke.
Swish~
The boy’s body was as though it had been frozen. It directly stiffened and he couldn’t finish the kowtow.
“Sun Mo’s Profound Words is so skilled!”
Everyone marveled silently.
This was the effect of a great teacher halo named Profound Words. The words spoken by the great teacher would then become a golden rule that the target had to execute unconditionally.
“Great Teacher Sun, why must you do this?”
Xiao Luqi frowned.
“Your majesty, he basically doesn’t hold royal authority in his eyes at all!”
A gorgeously dressed royal consort cast a ruthless glance at Sun Mo.
She was Xiao Feng’s mother and naturally hoped that her son could ascend to the throne in the future, reaching the limits of humans.
Although this hope was very faint, how could one not have dreams?
Hence, this royal consort hoped that the personal teacher of her son could be someone extremely famous and powerful. By being so, the great teacher could become a barrier against those who wanted to harm her child.
“Shut up!”
Xiao Luqi berated. After that, he looked at Sun Mo and waited for his explanation.
“I hope my students can take the initiative to acknowledge me as their personal teacher because they really wish to learn some things from me. I don’t want them to be a tool for the sake of an ‘alliance’.”
Sun Mo explained.
Si~
Upon hearing this, many people were dumbfounded.
This Sun Mo was truly young and spirited!
The Liao Emperor brought a prince here to take Sun Mo on as a personal teacher. How great was this glory? How many high star-ranking great teachers wanted this in their dreams? In the end, Sun Mo was still so picky?!
(If it was me, I would have long since agreed!)
Leaving aside other things, being able to become the teacher of a prince meant that one could enjoy a sizable yearly income that exceeded the money garnered by the hard work of many people through several lifetimes.
“Great Teacher Sun, what does a young brat like him know? I admire you and approve of you. This is already enough!”
Xiao Luqi felt a little unhappy. He felt that Sun Mo was intentionally fault-finding.
“I can teach him for a period of time. But whether he wants to take me on as a personal teacher or not, that will be up to him. This is to avoid him not having a choice anymore if he regrets this in the future.”
Sun Mo didn’t care for Xiao Luqi’s attitude.
He had the qualifications to do so.
In the crowd, Lu Zhiruo secretly stretched out her finger and prodded Li Ziqi’s arm.
“Teacher is so tyrannical!”
The papaya girl was filled with worship.
“Headmaster Song, look at my son’s aptitude. He is a piece of unpolished jade!”
That consort interjected again. “Feng`er, execute a punching routine!”
“No need”! Song Yan rejected. “Consort Rong, if Xiao Feng can enter the tutelage of Great Teacher Sun, it would be the greatest fortune of his life. You must not make a mistake that will harm him!”
“…”
Consort Rong’s expression immediately turned unsightly.
Her goal was for her son to enter the tutelage of a saint. Even if that couldn’t happen, her son had to enter the tutelage of a secondary saint. What the hell did a 4-stars count as?
This Sun Mo might be in the limelight now, but what if he was another Shan Zhongyong?
It would definitely be much stabler to choose a secondary saint instead.
One couldn’t blame Consort Rong for being shallow. Since she lived inside the palace, she wasn’t able to come in contact with news from the outside. She had no way to know how impressive Sun Mo was.
“Great Teacher Sun, are you worried that he is trash and will tarnish your reputation?”
Xiao Luqi had an unsightly expression.
“Nope, he is a genius!”
Sun Mo had long since activated Divine Sight to check Xiao Feng’s data.
(Speaking of which, this name you have given your son is truly imposing! If there’s a special BGM belonging solely to him, no one would be able to defeat him.*)
Xiao Feng. Potential value: Extremely high!
“He has an outstanding talent in terms of martial cultivation.”
Xiao Luqi felt that these words were something Sun Mo said to fawn on him, and he didn’t treat it as true. But the next sentence uttered by Sun Mo caused him to frown severely.
“There’s a problem with the cultivation art you are training in!”
Sun Mo glanced at the data of this Emperor. “If you don’t mind it, could you allow me to inspect your body?”
“Please!”
Xiao Luqi had heard of Sun Mo’s God Hands. Hence, he didn’t reject.
Sun Mo executed the ancient massaging technique and the data he received verified what he saw with his Divine Sight.
“The cultivation art you received a year and a half ago seems to provide the effect of extending longevity. But in truth, it’s squeezing out your vital force. If you continue training in it, you will die within three years!”
Sun Mo spoke bluntly.
Si~
Upon hearing this, all the great teachers here were stunned.
(You are speaking to the emperor of a country, can’t you be a little more tactful?)
