Absolute Great Teacher - Chapter 1034

Chapter 1034: Dragon Nest, Tiger Den

Translator: Lordbluefire

Before the Dragonspirit Manor, everyone’s emotions were rippling.

“From what you guys said, you guys are not grandmaster spirit runists and also cannot decipher the entrance question. In that case, what are you all here for?”

Qin Yaoguang tossed a pearflower candy into her mouth as she surveyed the three people. “Is it very fun to be rejected?”

“Yaoguang, don’t be impolite!”

Li Ziqi reminded. She was worried Qin Yaoguang’s words might bring trouble to Sun Mo.

Rules were set by humans. When some hegemons had the power to rise above the rules, they naturally didn’t need to comply with it.

And this old man who looked to be on the verge of death would either have to go home with his tail between his legs, or he was a major character on the level of Bai Wenzhang.

Only then would Bai Wenzhang break the rules for him and permit him to enter.

“Right, don’t speak with them anymore.”

The papaya girl shrank back. “The auras from their bodies are very terrifying. They must have done many bad things before!”

“Little lady, it’s not that I did many bad things before.”

The middle-aged woman looked at Lu Zhiruo and grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. “I’ve been doing bad things my entire life!”

“Ah!”

Lu Zhiruo jumped in fright and hid behind Sun Mo again. Her fingers, which were grabbing his clothes, clenched even tighter.

“Say, senior martial brother, don’t tell me you wish to fight?”

Tantai Yutang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Xuanyuan Po holding his silver spear tightly and staring at the old man. (Your guts are truly big!)

“Don’t worry, I know how to judge the situation!”

The combat addict sighed.

“For an expert of this level, one probably wouldn’t meet them more than a few times in one’s entire life, right? In the future after I grow stronger, I must definitely challenge them! Only then will I be able to not let down this life of mine!”

“Wow, the combat addict actually knows how to use idioms?”

Qin Yaoguang was astonished.

“What do you mean? Am I very stupid?”

Xuanyuan Po frowned.

“If not?” Qin Yaoguang counter-asked. “Other than fighting, what’s the difference between you and a moron?”

The other students all nodded.

If a class didn’t have anything to do with cultivation, Xuanyuan Po wouldn’t attend it. In fact, he only ate three meals per day for the sake of accumulating enough energy for cultivation.

Ever since he had started on the diet plan that was arranged for him by Sun Mo, he had strictly followed it. Let alone eating an additional mouthful of meat, he didn’t even drink an additional mouthful of water as per what was indicated.

If Sun Mo hadn’t said that it was fine to have some minor discrepancies, Xuanyuan Po would have weighed each and every meal of his carefully.

One must know that among the martial siblings, because of Jiang Leng’s upbringing, he was someone that had a lot of self-discipline. But even he would have a good meal to reward himself for his hard work and effort.

As for Xuanyuan Po, he was the only disciple that followed Sun Mo’s dietary plan strictly to the letter.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Po’s training load was five times more compared to the person with the next heaviest training load, Jiang Leng.

Also, Xuanyuan Po didn’t like to dress up.

All his clothes were school uniforms. He didn’t have traveling clothes, and as for laundry, he simply paid money to have a cleaning aunty do it for him.

With regard to sleep, his schedule was as accurate as a robot. He would definitely not go to bed later, even if it was just for one minute.

Taking naps? There was no such thing.

And because of Xuanyuan Po’s extremely disciplined resting time. The five other roommates staying with him were also influenced and encouraged. They started competing with each other, and their marks had improved vastly this semester.

“You want to fight me?”

Xuanyuan Po didn’t wish to argue. If there was a chance for a fight, he would definitely not quarrel.

Moreover, he had long since wanted to spar with this junior martial sister of his.

His instincts told him that Qin Yaoguang wasn’t simple. But she always avoided him when he brought up the topic of a spar.

“If you can bring me a snack I’ve never eaten before, I will fight you!”

Qin Yaoguang giggled.

(Fighting? I naturally won’t do something that has no benefits.)

The middle-aged man still wanted to speak a few words of ridicule, but he suddenly stared at his master with fear.

It had been ten years since his master maintained the posture of lowering his head. But now, he actually lifted his head to look at the young man with the silver spear.

“Little fellow, do you want to become my disciple?”

The old man’s originally dim and cloudy eyes were shining brightly as though he wanted to see through Xuanyuan Po completely.

Swish~

Xuanyuan Po’s expression drastically changed. He directly took out his spear and adopted a defensive posture because he could feel an extreme danger. He felt like a prey being stared at by an ancient giant beast.

Helian Beifang also secretly clutched the hilt of his blade.

Jiang Leng had seamlessly taken half a step forward to stand before his junior martial sisters.

The actions by the two of them caused the old man with one foot in the grave to turn his gaze over.

“Ze, I didn’t expect to actually encounter so many good seedlings today!”

The old man was surprised. He looked at Sun Mo. “What is your name?”

“Sun Mo!”

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight. Just when he looked at the middle-aged woman, the other party also looked over.

“They are all your students?”

When the old man heard this name, his brows furrowed. “Jinling? Sun Mo? Three-time Champion Sun?”

Upon seeing Sun Mo nodding, the middle-aged woman revealed a look of understanding at why the other party was so arrogant. It was said that Sun Mo could be an ancestor-level spirit runist.

“Hey, can you reveal the answer?”

The middle-aged man’s tone was now filled with friendliness as he spoke like he was very familiar with Sun Mo.

“Hehe!”

Sun Mo clasped his hands toward the old man and walked to the gate of the manor.

“Oi, don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you enter carelessly without resolving the puzzle, you will be hacked to death.”

The middle-aged man warned.

“Could he have solved it?”

The middle-aged woman was astonished.

“Did maggots enter your brain? He has only stood here for less than five minutes, but you are telling me that he has solved the puzzle?”

The middle-aged man mocked. “Even if he’s an ancestor, there’s no way he would be so talented!”

“Quiet!”

The old man berated. After that, he saw Sun Mo’s group entering the manor and walking until they vanished at the end of the path.

“What the hell? Why is no one stopping him? Could it be that the rules had changed?”

The middle-aged man cried.

“Master, what should we do? Should we slaughter our way in?”

The middle-aged woman bowed and asked.

“I came here this time around because I need help from Bai Wenzhang. It’s best not to create a huge commotion.”

The old man turned his head and stared at the fragments of those spirit runes. “Go and capture a grandmaster. Make him solve the puzzle here.”

“Roger!”

The middle-aged man knelt with one knee on the ground. After receiving the order, he leaped a few times and appeared tens of feet away as he went to search for targets.

…

The atmosphere in the manor was quiet and harmonious.

Some people wearing white garments appeared, but they weren’t surprised at the appearance of Sun Mo and his group. They were all focused on doing their own things.

“Teacher!”

After seeing that Sun Mo was walking around casually with the heart of a tourist, Jiang Leng gritted his teeth and advised, “This place really isn’t where we can act unbridled.”

In Jiang Leng’s bones, he was still filled with dread toward this manor. He had seen too many deaths here.

Dean Bai was the only sovereign here. He was the one who decided all the rules, and those who broke the rules had to die!

“Don’t panic. I entered only after deciphering the puzzle.”

Sun Mo consoled him.

“Ah?”

Xianyu Wei was dumbfounded. (It has already been deciphered? But I didn’t see Teacher doing anything? Or did I miss it?)

The little sunny egg frowned. She had seen those fragments earlier but hadn’t had time to decipher them yet.

“When those fragments are combined, they are indeed able to form a few spirit runes. But from the runic lines, there are only four words – Please do not touch.”

Sun Mo explained. “I guess that there might be poison or something on those magnets.”

“Isn’t that too much of a fraud?”

Everyone was speechless.

“If someone came here, they would surely want to solve the puzzle by arranging the magnets. In the end, no one would expect there would be poison.”

Li Ziqi analyzed. “This means that those who want to enter cannot attempt it using their hands. They have to deduce everything within their minds.”

The students were all frowning. Such a difficult question was clearly set to prohibit visitors. In that case, why did Bai Wenzhang still invite their teacher over?

(Wait a minute, could Bai Wenzhang have done this intentionally, prohibiting other visitors so he could specially receive our teacher? If that’s the case, Teacher’s prestige was truly great!)

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Applause rang out as a man of 30+ years old walked out.

“Teacher Sun’s talent truly astounds people.”

The man smiled and did a self-introduction. “I’m a disciple of Teacher Bai. My name is Xiao Feng.”

Because his teacher treated Sun Mo as someone of his own generation, although Xiao Feng was older than Sun Mo, he still had to refer to Sun Mo as ‘Teacher Sun’.

“Hello!”

Sun Mo returned a smile.

This man had short hair and one could see traces of some runic lines on his neck. His eyes were slightly more long and narrow. When he looked at people, he liked to squint due to his habits.

Jiang Leng’s lips moved. He wanted to greet him, but Xiao Feng ignored him.

“Please follow me!”

Xiao Feng spoke, “My teacher is currently doing an experiment and has no way to personally receive Teacher Sun. However, my teacher has already instructed me on what to do. You guys don’t have to feel restrained, just treat this place like your own home.”

“However, it’s better for everyone not to run around randomly. It isn’t that we are afraid of exposing secrets. Instead, I’m afraid that some places here might frighten you guys.”

Xiao Feng reminded kindly.

He first arranged rooms for everyone and then led everyone to show them where the library, canteen, martial drill grounds, and the experimental building were located.

“Up ahead is the ancient spirit rune building. I dare to say that we have 70% or more of the undeciphered spirit runes in the entire Nine Provinces. Teacher Sun, if you have the time, why don’t your try analyzing some runes there?”

Xiao Feng laughed. “If you can decipher ten ancient spirit runes, you will be qualified to view the three great puzzles of our Dragonspirit Manor.”

Qin Yaoguang used her fingers to silently poke Jiang Leng. “Is he bragging? The number of ancient spirit runes collected by the Nine Greats isn’t few as well.”

“He is not bragging, it’s that many.”

Jiang Leng nodded with great certainty.

“What are the three great puzzles?”

Lu Zhiruo was very interested in this topic.

“They are three questions about spirit runes with world-class difficulty. E…even now, Dean Bai hasn’t solved any.”

Jiang Leng explained.

“Wow!”

Lu Zhiruo was filled with interest and wanted to take a look.

Difficult questions that even a great ancestor ranked within the top three in the Nine Provinces couldn’t solve? How difficult must those be?

“Teacher, I’ll cheer you on. After solving them, you will be the number one spirit runist in the Nine Provinces.”

Qin Yaoguang waved her little fists.

Xiao Feng was smiling on the surface, but his heart was filled with contempt and disdain.

(This is something my teacher couldn’t accomplish despite having spent 100 years on them. You guys don’t even need to dream about solving them in your entire life! Deciphering them? Fat dreams!)

Xiao Feng left after he had completed the mission of leading them here.

“Teacher, let us quickly go to the ancient spirit rune building to decipher some spirit runes!”

Lu Zhiruo tugged on Sun Mo’s arms as she urged.

“Jiang Leng, go and help me find a few powerful opponents!” Xuanyuan Po licked his lips. “My silver spear is already hungry!”

“Senior martial brother, it’s best that you don’t belittle anyone here. There are plenty of people stronger than me in this place.”

Jiang Leng dissuaded.

…

Xiao Feng didn’t really leave. Instead, he hid in the shadows to observe them. When he saw Sun Mo entering the ancient spirit rune building, he heaved a sigh of relief.

There were simply too many secrets in the Dragonspirit Manor. If Sun Mo and his group saw them, things would be bad.

“Ai, why did Teacher give Sun Mo the authority to tour the place freely?”

Xiao Feng didn’t understand. In fact, he even felt some jealousy.

He had never seen his teacher giving such preferential treatment to another person before.
