Absolute Great Teacher - Chapter 1042

No. 19 lay on the sickbed and stared at the ceiling with his only eye remaining. He had a sluggish look on his face.

(I’m finished, right?)

This was such a serious injury. Even if he was cured, he probably wouldn’t be able to return to his previous peak. In that case, he would surely be tossed into the white house.

The experimental subjects living in the white house were inferior students who had been eliminated once.

There, they still had one last chance to perform. If they still couldn’t prove themselves after three months, they would be crippled and abandoned.

(Wrong, given how serious my injuries are, I most probably would be directly abandoned, right?)

No. 19 had always felt that life in the manor was very tiring. Although they could eat their fill, the pressure was too great and they suffered too much. The number of things they learned, the duration they cultivated for, and even how much they ate were all planned for.

If an experimental subject was in a bad mood and didn’t have any appetite to eat, assistants would appear and force food down their throats.

The health management of experimental bodies was very important. If not, there might be a discrepancy in data, which would affect the success rate of experiments

No. 19 had thought of dying to end everything before. But now that he was about to die, he was afraid.

“Why is there no one taking care of him?”

Beside him, a voice filled with concern suddenly rang out. This caused No. 19’s mood to be somewhat better. He turned his head to see which of his fellow experimental subjects it was, but in the end, he realized he didn’t know this person.

“The assistant should have entered the experimental lab to find a doctor.”

Jiang Leng explained.

“J…Jiang Leng?”

No. 19 was shocked. (Weren’t you already abandoned? Why would you still appear here?)

“Teacher, if we continue waiting, he will die.”

Li Ziqi inspected No. 19’s injuries and discovered that they were very heavy.

“Strip his clothes.”

Sun Mo instructed his disciples. After that, he consoled No. 19, “I will conduct the treatment for you now. You don’t have to worry. You will be better after a good sleep.”

Sun Mo was worried that this youth would be too noisy, and it would affect the treatment. Hence, he directly stretched out his hand and pinched this youth’s neck.

Pak!

The head of No. 19 turned askew as he fainted.

Boom!

Spirit qi gushed out from Sun Mo’s hands and took the form of the genie.

Connecting broken bones…

Linking meridians and energy channels…

Handling the bone fragments that pierced into the muscles…

And finally improving blood circulation and getting rid of hematoma…

Sun Mo was relatively familiar with this whole process. His familiarity was to the extent where he could do it with ease.

“That Hu Baoshan is so ruthless!”

Li Ziqi felt her scalp turning numb as she watched. That No. 01 definitely had wanted to injure this person intentionally because he had intentionally damaged the spirit runes engraved on this youth’s chest.

To experimental subjects, if the spirit runes on their bodies were damaged, it would mean that they had become rubbish.

“These spirit runes are so troublesome.”

Sun Mo frowned.

The body of the youth was covered fully in spirit runes. Sun Mo had never researched these runes before, so he didn’t dare to remove and repair them casually.

…

In the experimental lab, the assistant had an anxious look on his face as he kept staring toward the direction of the clean room.

If things continued delaying, No. 19 would die.

However, he didn’t dare to disturb the major character who was doing an experiment. If not, if he accidentally caused an experiment to fail, he would be the one being hanged to death.

And after waiting for 10 minutes, Assistant Yu still didn’t see any signs that the experiment would end soon. There was no solution to it, for the sake of No. 19’s life, he braced himself to knock on the door.

“What’s wrong?”

Yan Sui’s angry voice rang out.

Assistant Yu’s neck instantly shrank back. There was no need to ask, the progress of this experiment must have not been smooth. But since he had knocked on the door, he could only grit his teeth and follow through.

“No. 19 was heavily injured by No. 1, and he is on the verge of death. The amount of time lapsed is already 15 minutes.”

“Since he is on the verge of death, why should we still treat him?”

Yan Sui berated, “Scram. Didn’t you see that I’m currently busy?”

Yan Sui was proficient in both the study of spirit runes and medical arts. He was the No. 3 person in the Dragonspirit Manor, just below Bai Wenzhang and Cui Shun`en.

Usually, the assistant would only ask for his help to treat the heavily injured experimental subjects.

If Yan Sui was free, he wouldn’t mind helping. However, he was too busy now.

During this past year, it was unknown what came over Bai Wenzhang. He suddenly decided to increase the experiment tempo. They had started to do experiments on some theories that weren’t perfected yet.

Hence, the casualty rate of experimental subjects had greatly increased.

Naturally, they didn’t mind some people dying. What they minded was that the experiments still showed no signs of progress.

Assistant Yu was being scolded so badly that he became dejected and depressed.

He knew that No. 19 would die for sure. Logically speaking, he should exit now and do his best to treat No. 19. But what if No. 19 asked when Yan Sui would arrive? How should he answer then?

He couldn’t possibly say to No. 19 that he had been given up upon, right?

Ai!

Assistant Yu sat on a chair and hugged his head with his arms, feeling a sense of discontentment and helplessness.

He was a great teacher that loved the study of spirit runes, and he had come to the manor to learn. He heard that the spirit rune techniques in this place were extremely developed and stood at the forefront of the entire Nine Provinces. But he only discovered how cruel reality was after he had truly joined the manor.

This place only had coldness, emotionlessness, and a lack of humanity. Results were everything.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, half an hour passed. After that, Yan Sui had an unhappy look on his face as he pushed open the door and walked out.

The experiment ended and he failed again.

“Teacher Yan!”

Assistant Yu immediately stood up. After that, he saw a mobile bed being pushed out. The youth lying on it was no longer breathing.

“Bring No. 19 over,” Yan Sui instructed.

“Ah?” Assistant Yu started.

“Why are you in a daze? You can’t even do something minor like this well?”

Yan Sui scolded.

“Oh!”

Assistant Yu hurriedly ran out, silently musing that it was all over. (I should have gone to take care of No. 19 earlier. Now, he might have died.)

When Assistant Yu was rushing into the sick bay with trepidation in his heart, to his shock, he actually saw No. 19 sleeping soundly. He didn’t think too much and quickly pushed his bed into the experimental lab.

After doing so, Assistant Yu hurriedly left. This was because he wasn’t qualified to be Yan Sui’s assistant. But just when he stepped out of the room, he heard Yan Sui roaring in anger.

“Are you pranking me?” Yan Sui shouted in rage.

(I’m already so tired, but you actually still dared to make fun of me? How dare you!)

“Scram in!”

Assistant Yu immediately entered the rooms with absolute haste.

Pak!

An ink bottle flew over.

Assistant Yu didn’t dare to dodge and could only allow the ink bottle to smash into him.

Bang!

The bottle smashed into Assistant Yu’s head, causing a mix of ink and blood to drench his body.

“Are you blind? You actually brought someone with such light injuries to me? Do you think that my time is not valuable?”

Yan Sui cursed.

“Ah? No. 19 is on the verge of death!”

Assistant Yu didn’t understand. Could it be that No. 19’s injuries weren’t serious enough?

“Open your dog eyes and take a look!”

Yan Sui tugged off No. 19’s clothes with a single pull.

“Eh?”

Assistant Yu was badly shocked.

Because No. 19’s ribs were broken, his chest had sunken in and there had even been a few bones piercing out of his skin. But now, he looked completely fine.

(What’s going on?)

Assistant Yu stretched out his hand to touch No. 19.

The bones were perfect and there were no traces of injuries on his skin.

“Push him out. And as for you, get lost from the manor immediately!”

Yan Sui was someone with a very bad temper, but he was also very rational. If it wasn’t for the fact that too many of his subordinates had died recently, he would have killed this trash assistant.

“Wrong. He did suffer heavy injuries earlier. Grandmaster Wu Li and the others have seen it.”

Assistant Yu’s head was filled with sweat. Right now, he could also no longer be bothered about No. 19’s health. He directly shook him awake. “Don’t sleep anymore. What happened when I left you earlier?”

“Eh? Why doesn’t it feel painful anymore?”

No. 19 was astonished. He even tried moving about.

“Speak!” Assistant Yu urged.

“I…I think I saw Jiang Leng!” No. 19 recalled.

“Jiang Leng?”

Yan Sui naturally knew who Jiang Leng was. “Continue!”

Because the experiment had failed, it led to his loss of control over his emotions. After Yan Sui calmed down, he understood that there was no way such a small-time assistant would dare to prank him.

This meant that someone had treated No. 19’s injuries.

(But isn’t his recovery too fast?)

No. 19 naturally couldn’t explain why.

“Go and check things out!”

Yan Sui instructed.

…

Right now, Sun Mo had left the experiment area and arrived at the living area.

There was no solution to it. Since Bai Wenzhang had said so, Sun Mo naturally would be able to tour this place freely. However, not everyone knew this.

With no one leading the way, let alone an outsider like Sun Mo, even a small-time character like Assistant Yu wouldn’t be qualified to enter.

“If they still cannot prove their value three months later, they will be abandoned.”

Jiang Leng introduced.

These children no longer attended classes. They were permitted to move about freely and do whatever they wanted to. This was because researchers could no longer be bothered about wasting manpower on them.

The majority of the children were either cultivating or reading. A small portion of them was looking for a place to bask in the sun.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to work hard, but the damage to their bodies was too serious and they could no longer cultivate. Hence, in their eyes, there was only a feeling of downheartedness as they waited for death.

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and swept his gaze over.

All of these people here were injured and their bodies contained damaged spirit runes. Their situation was similar to Jiang Leng from back then.

He then checked their potential values.

Sun Mo swept his gaze past 100 youths. Other than 20 people with above-average potential, the potential value of others was all high and extremely high.

“Teacher, you should be able to cure them, right?”

Jiang Leng felt apprehensive.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo nodded but he couldn’t act so quickly.

If they were cured now, they might be taken by Bai Wenzhang for experiments again. Hence, he might as well ‘purchase’ them. Like this, other than doing a good deed, it could also bolster his school’s strength.

One must know that they were all considered a source of elite students!

Sun Mo toured around for a while and after heading back to the living area where the experiment subjects stayed, he got Jiang Leng to lead the way to the location of the second world-class difficulty question.

There was also a gigantic stone house here.

After entering, he could see a rectangle-shaped large hole that had been dug out underground. The hole was the size of two soccer fields, and there were metallic plates placed on the ground.

These metallic plates contained strange-looking runic lines and patterns.

Sun Mo could see that there were about 20 people in the house. They stood on an elevated platform and were surveying the metallic floor.

“Do not easily attempt this puzzle if you guys are not confident because people might die here.”

Jiang Leng warned.

“People might die?”

Qin Yaoguang grew interested. (This was fun!)

“Mn, I heard that one is supposed to assemble the different plates on the floor into some sort of spirit rune. If one makes a mistake, they will be electrocuted.”

Jiang Leng had tried this before. The feeling was really unbearable.

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight.

Indeed, it was ineffective.

“What should we do?”

Li Ziqi was raring to give it a try.

“Jump down and stand on the floor. You will be able to see the spirit rune fragments.”

After Jiang Leng finished speaking, Sun Mo jumped down right away. Since he was here, he naturally must give it a try.

Swish~

After seeing someone jumping down, the great teachers in the surroundings immediately felt their spirits stirring.

(This new visitor is so rash, he would probably die!)
