Absolute Great Teacher - Chapter 1268

Lordbluefire

Sun Mo’s battle invitation directly heated the atmosphere up.

The ordinary people naturally didn’t give a damn about who was right or wrong. They were only here to watch the drama. Hence, all the current spectators were shouting, wanting the head judge to go and fight.

However, the great teachers knew that there was a high chance that nothing would happen.

The head judge was over 300 years old, ten times older than Sun Mo. It was only normal if he won. But if he lost, he would lose all his face.

No one would do such a disadvantageous thing.

“Saint Yang, let’s act. We cannot allow this matter to continue worsening!”

Hu Xingjiang took the lead and jumped up the platform. After that, he clasped his hands and bowed. “Everyone, please calm down. If there’s anything, let us first return to the Saint Gate before we speak!”

jiang’s thoughts were very simple. He wanted to avoid Sun Mo being watched by so many people. For this matter, the fewer the number of people who knew about it, the less likely the rumors would get out of hand.

“Damn, my teacher has died. If Sun Mo doesn’t give everyone a reply today, there’s no need for him to think about going anywhere!”

“Darkness seeds are heresy. By protecting him, Sun Mo is also a heretic. His character is bad, so what if he’s very talented? Kill him!”

“That’s right, kill him!”

The personal students of Zhang Zechun were crying out loud, wanting to take revenge for their teacher. They didn’t mind even if they had to die.

“That was a life-and-death battle. Since he is dead, it simply means that his skill was inferior!”

Li Ziqi shot in rage and even activated Profound Words. After all, after being emperor for many years, she was already used to speaking wise words, causing her to comprehend Profound Words. “If you guys are unhappy, fight a life-and-death battle with me!”

“Zigi, please speak a few sentences less.”

Hu Xingjiang persuaded. “Also, you guys should stop shouting. It’s useless!”

“Who do you think you are?”

“Scram and eat shit!”

“”p*** yourself!”

Zhang Zechun’s disciples directly cursed.

Due to Hu Xingjiang’s bad experience back then, he didn’t like the great teacher world. This was why he chose to hide in the Prison of Desolation to wait for death. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was moved by Sun Mo’s words, he basically wouldn’t have left.

So, even though he was a secondary saint, he wasn’t egoistic and proud. Even the teacher robes he was wearing had worn out due to being washed too many times. He didn’t pursue aesthetics.

Therefore, these disciples immediately felt contempt for Hu Xingjiang when they saw his robes. From their points of view, this great teacher must be not doing well for himself.

With regard to this behavior of looking down on others, Hu Xingjiang didn’t mind it. Instead, he sighed and removed his ‘Unknown Obscurity’ halo.

A strange fragrance immediately permeated the air. Those who smelled it felt joy in their hearts, and their fatigue also vanished completely.

“S.. secondary saint?”

The great teachers widened their eyes and surveyed Hu Xingjiang with looks of astonishment.

Who was this fellow?

Why did a secondary saint suddenly appear?

Such a bodily fragrance was the symbol of a secondary saint. It could drive bugs away and prevent poison from coming near. It could also boost one’s mental state and allow people to be in the most optimal learning condition.

There were too few saints, and it was too hard to be one. Because of this fact, a secondary saint was considered a peak existence in the great teacher world. If they stomped their foot, the entire great teacher world would tremble thrice.

However, they had never heard of this old man before.

“Old Hu?”

Some aged great teachers recognized Hu Xingjiang.

Recently, everyone’s attention was on the large-scale Number One Hero Battle of the Nine Provinces, so they didn’t pay too much attention to Sun Mo and only knew that he had succeeded in raising his rank. But as for the specific process, they didn’t investigate further.

Zhang Zechun’s disciples all tuned pale immediately because insulting a secondary saint was a heavy crime!

Luckily, Hu Xingjiang didn’t want to look for trouble.

“Everyone, if we continue quarreling, the reputation of great teachers would be destroyed by us. Let us come to a conclusion after returning to the Saint Gate, alright?”

iang sincerely pleaded. “I hope everyone can do things with an emphasis on the bigger picture.”

“What is the bigger picture?”

‘The head judge had a stern look on his face and spoke harshly, “I don’t care if you are a secondary saint or a saint. Today, I’m going to administer justice and kill the darkness seed. This is a tradition of the Saint Gate. We have to maintain the law and discipline of the Nine Provinces to protect its peace.

Since this is a rule set by the noble sages of the past, it isn’t something you can rebut with Sun Mo.

“Also, we are great teachers. There’s nothing that cannot be said publicly. If we want to do something, we will do it openly. There’s no need for us to sneak around.”

At this moment, the expression of the head judge was as though he was a justice incarnate.

“Well spoken!”

A moment later, many of the people spectating shouted out in agreement.

However, some great teachers were frowning. Given the star rank of the head judge, if this was truly what he thought, Priceless Advice would surely be activated. Since that didn’t happen, it meant that he had a selfish motive.

(But then again, if I were in his shoes, I would also want to suppress Sun Mo and make him suffer a bit.)

“What is tradition?”

Avoice rang out, not loud but it clearly spread through the entire place. Everyone felt that the speaker was just beside them.

“There are good traditions and bad traditions. All things in the world have to undergo development. We can’t possibly use a rule that was set 10,000 years ago to handle matters of the current era.”

Yang Shizhan spoke.

Swish~

Tens of thousands of people on the scene turned their heads in unison to look over.

This was a saint’s talent. Even if they didn’t cast any halo, their words would naturally attract the attention of everyone.

Secondary saints and saints both had the automatic ability to exude a striking presence to everyone. So, they would usually cast the ‘Unknown Obscurity’ halo on themselves to shield the perceptions of those around them.

After all, they didn’t want to be looked at like monkeys in a circus.

Unknown Obscurity meant that one was ordinary and common, and that no matter how different the vantage points of everyone were, no matter how high their achievements were, they still treated themselves as an ordinary person.

Yang Shizhan then slowly walked toward the platform.

There were many people before him, and the battle platform was quite high as well. Ordinary people would either have to climb or jump before they could get up, but Yang Shizhan directly walked up in the air.

Every step he took caused a lotus to bloom underneath his feet, perfectly supporting his body in the air.

“He can also fly!”

“Fool, that’s Lotus Step!”

“My heavens, he’s a saint!”

‘The audience was shocked. After that, some great teachers also subconsciously bowed although they knew Yang Shizhan couldn’t see them.

It wasn’t just Lotus Step. As Yang Shizhan dispelled Unknown Obscurity, the surrounding spirit qi gathered before him and formed into a peach tree that was filled with pink petals, blocking the blazing sun for him. After that, a plum tree that was filled with fruits materialized, providing their juice to

quench his thirst.

This was a saint phenomenon – Peach and Plum filling the World.*

Only true saints could evoke this phenomenon, and there was no way to fake this. Hence, the great teachers all revoked their expressions and started to bow in greetings.

“Greetings, Saint!”

“Dispense with the ceremonies!”

Yang Shizhan’s expression didn’t change, but he was sighing ruefully in his heart. He had once anticipated this scene, but after he entered the Prison of Desolation, he had given up his hopes of becoming a true saint.

He didn’t expect that two hundred years later, his hopes were realized.

It was simply like a dream.

As expected, all of this was thanks to Sun Mo.

Upon thinking of this, Yang Shizhan’s respect toward Sun Mo deepened even more.

“He seems to be in Sun Mo’s group?”

Everyone was incomparably shocked. When a secondary saint spoke for Sun Mo, it was already very powerful in terms of impact. Yet, a saint suddenly appeared now?

Zhang Zechun’s disciples were so scared that they lowered their heads and shrank back. They wanted nothing more than to hide their heads in a hole.

“With regard to how we should handle darkness seeds, I will raise the case with the Saint Gate and request for a re-discussion. So as for today, just let this matter be!”

Yang Shizhan didn’t discuss whether darkness seeds ought to be killed or not. He just wanted to delay things.

‘The lips of the head judge twitched, but he no longer argued because saints did have the qualifications to command him, so he could only comply. “I’ll comply with Saint’s order.”

After agreeing, the head judge continued. “But in order to avoid this darkness seed fleeing, I suggest that we have the guards of the Saint Gate imprison him.”

“No way!”

Sun Mo immediately rejected this. Who knew if these people would punish and torture Xuanyuan secretly?

‘They might not kill Xuanyuan Po, but they could use other methods such as crippling his body. If that happened, let alone wielding a silver spear, he probably wouldn’t even have the strength to use a clutch in the future.

Sun Mo naturally had to be on guard against such tricks.

“Sun Mo, you best not want a mile after getting an inch!”

The head judge berated.

“You guys have also seen Teacher Sun’s attitude. If this continues, no result will come out of this. How about both parties taking a step back?”

Yang Shizhan took the initiative to undertake the task. “I’ll monitor Xuanyuan Po. If he flees, I’ll be the one responsible!”

‘The great teachers were all dumbstruck. (What relationship do you have with Sun Mo? Why are you backing him up so much?)

From their point of view, Xuanyuan Po’s identity was already exposed and he would surely flee if he had a chance to. However, their shock hadn’t ended yet because Secondary Saint Hu also spoke.

“Ican vouch for Xuanyuan Po as well!”

Secondary Saint Hu glanced at the combat addict. “His spear arts have entered the ‘Dao’ level and there’s a type of persistence within. I believe someone like him wouldn’t flee.”

Asaint and a secondary saint… when their voices were added together, their power was very heavy. Hence, the head judge no longer dared to insist and could only let things be.

He had planned to send a team of guards to monitor the villa Sun Mo and his disciples were staying in. But in order to express respect to Yang Shizhan and Hu Xingjiang, he gave up that notion.

The competition ended, and it also meant that the Number One Hero Battle of the Nine Provinces had completely concluded with Jiang Leng being the champion.

After all, as a darkness seed, even if Xuanyuan Po wasn’t put to death, he wouldn’t have a chance to participate in the championship anymore.

Asa result, Jiang Leng won the championship cup for free, but he wasn’t happy at all. At the same time, Sun Mo also looked solemn.

No matter what, this Hero Battle would be the most talked-about topic for years to come, including Sun Mo’s reputation, his personal disciples hogging the top ranks, and also the identity of a darkness seed.

In any case, there was just a single sentence. Sun Mo and his disciples were now completely famous that everyone in the Nine Provinces would know of them.

In the room, the students were in a discussion with each other.

“This time around, our teacher is in deep shit!”

Qin Yaoguang felt a headache. “Darkness seeds are taboo. In any case, I’ve never met one who was discovered but able to continue living.”

“although I dislike Xuanyuan, other than him being brainless, he has not committed any bad deeds before!” Tantai Yutang shrugged.

“This is a racial problem!” Jiang Leng rolled his eyes. “It has nothing to do with good or bad.”

“If Teacher wants to protect Xuanyuan, he would definitely have to pay an extremely high price!” Helian Beifang analyzed. “Besides, he might not succeed.”

“aren’t Saint Yang and Secondary Saint Hu speaking up for us?”

Xianyu Wei hoped.

“You wouldn’t possibly assume that the statuses of all saints are the same, right?”

Qin Yaoguang sighed. “Those two have left the great teacher world for far too long and basically have no more foundation. If other saints appear and speak against them, their words would be insufficient.”

“In any case, Secondary Saint Zhou would surely try to stir trouble!”

Ying Baiwu was playing with a dagger. “And what’s going on with that head judge? He seems to be deliberately targeting our teacher at every turn?”

The iron-headed girl wanted to kill that head judge.

“I feel that we better watch Xuanyuan properly for now. If that brat flees, the trouble would be even greater.”

The sickly invalid rose and prepared to check up on the combat addict.

“Tl go with you!”

Helian Beifang clutched the hilt of his blade. (If Xuanyuan Po wants to flee, he better not blame me for not being polite.)

In any case, there was just a single thought in his mind. Protect his teacher first before protecting Xuanyuan Po.
