Absolute Great Teacher - Chapter 1279

Lordbluefire

“Mufeng, the greatest taboo is for one to be egotistical and arrogant. In the recently concluded Number One Hero Battle of the Nine Provinces, Teacher Sun’s personal disciples ruled the rankings.”

Wei Ziyou admonished. “Don’t tell me you feel that Great Teacher Sun’s title as the number one great teacher in the Nine Provinces was the result of bragging?”

Bai Mufeng’s heart shuddered and he knew that he was too careless. Hence, he hurriedly lowered his head and apologized.

“Teacher, I’m sorry. I have eyes but am blind!”

“No need to apologize, you are still a child after all.”

Sun Mo smiled. “Indeed, you come from a solid background and you can simply ask your elders if you have any questions. Headmaster, why don’t we change to another student?”

“Teacher Sun, why must you be so calculative with him?”

Wei Ziyou bitterly smiled.

Sun Mo didn’t answer directly. Instead, he looked at Bai Mufeng’s opponent. Right now, that guy was very disappointed. “What is your name?”

“Reporting to Teacher, this student is named Tang Zhan!”

‘Tang Zhan respectfully bowed.

“Can you permit me to inspect your body?”

Sun Mo stretched out his hand.

“Absolutely!”

‘Tang Zhan was extremely joyful. Sun Mo’s God Hands was exceptionally famous, and almost everyone in the world knew about it.

Sun Mo started from Tang Zhan’s shoulder blades and continued kneading downward as he inspected his body.

“Compared to your upper body, you trained your lower body too little. With regard to the Eight Moons Sword Art, it is heavily dependent on movement techniques and it emphasizes in taking preemptive actions to achieve control for victory.”

Sun Mo displayed his ancient massaging technique while he explained. “Don’t use moves in haste, don’t keep thinking about scoring a victory with a single strike because this particular sword art depends on different levels of pressure and suppression to accumulate small advantages until you win against

your opponent.”

Bluntly speaking, it was a sword art that ground the opponent to complete exhaustion.

‘Tang Zhan bitterly smiled. His personal teacher had said something similar as well, but as a youth, who wouldn’t like to use a single move to insta-win against opponents?!

“Also, don’t think about changing your cultivation art!”

Sun Mo warned. “If this cultivation art is chosen for you by your teacher, this means that he is very familiar with your body condition. If you listen to him, you will definitely be able to become a top-grade sword hero.”

“Can I become a sword sage?”

‘When Tang Zhan said this, he snuck a glance at Bai Mufeng. Evidently, that was his target.

“You can!”

Sun Mo answered with no hesitation. Honestly speaking, due to Tang Zhan’s body constitution, he actually wouldn’t be able to become a sword sage. But if he changed his cultivation art, this problem could be solved.

If this question was asked back when he first became a teacher, Sun Mo would surely answer it factually. But now, his mentality had changed.

Sometimes, a white lie was the best method to help the students to improve.

Boom!

‘The genie appeared, and he started to rub and knead Tang Zhan’s legs amidst exclamations of shock.

Five minutes later, Tang Zhan’s energy channels were cleared and had expanded.

Boom!

A large amount of spirit qi gushed into Tang Zhan’s body.

“Teacher…”

‘Tang Zhan had a look of joy on his face. “I feel like I’m going to break through!”

“Calm your qi and guard your mind. Don’t think of random thoughts!”

Sun Mo warned.

Three minutes later, Tang Zhan successfully achieved a breakthrough.

“Many thanks for Teacher’s selfless guidance!”

‘Tang Zhan knelt and kowtowed. He had been stuck at a bottleneck for half a year, and he didn’t expect he would break through just after a massage by Sun Mo.

God Hands was truly magical.

(These guys here are all geniuses!)

Sun Mo felt envy as he stared at the surrounding students.

“Mufeng, why are you still in a daze?”

Wei Ziyou urged.

“Teacher, this student sincerely begs for guidance!”

Bai Mufeng had a respectful expression as he bowed. However, in his heart, he felt that even if Sun Mo couldn’t give any constructive comments, his reputation as the God Hands wasn’t fake. It would be good if Sun Mo could inspect him.

“Your father is a sword expert, right?”

Sun Mo had his hands placed behind his back as he calmly surveyed Bai Mufeng.

“My father is a sword sage.”

When Bai Mufeng said this, he had a look of pride on his face.

“Helian, come and spar with him!”

Sun Mo instructed.

“Roger!”

Helian Beifang stepped out.

“Why isn’t senior brother Jiang Leng the one sparring instead?”

Bai Mufeng stared at Jiang Leng. If he wasn’t mistaken, this youth who had grown long hair to cover his forehead should be none other than Jiang Leng who had come first in the Number One Hero Battle.

In Bai Mufeng’s thought, if he had to fight, he naturally wanted to fight with the strongest one.

“Why? Are you looking down on me?”

Helian Beifang chortled. “I’ll let you attack for 30 moves. If you can injure me, I will be your slave for three years.”

As aman from the plains, deep in his bones, Helian Beifang was a very prideful man.

“I don’t dare to!”

Bai Mufeng no longer wasted words and leaped up to the platform.

True to his words, Helian Beifang only defended and didn’t attack.

Bai Mufeng immediately grew angry when he saw this. Hence, he went all out in his attacks, wanting to defeat Helian Beifang within thirty moves. However, the truth was contrary to his expectations.

After the agreement of thirty moves ended, Helian Beifang slashed out with his blade.

Azure Wave Slash!

Swish~

Helian Beifang’s swift blade was like the waves of a surging sea slamming on the shore.

BOOM!

Bai Mufeng blocked the blade but couldn’t withstand the force behind it. His entire body was sent flying off the platform, and even the longsword in his hand was knocked away.

Bang!

Bai Mufeng fell onto the ground.

“What a handsome-looking blade art!”

‘Wei Ziyou involuntarily applauded.

Everyone spectating here was a genius, so they could tell how outstanding this blade attack by Helian Beifang was.

The most important thing was that the blade art he used was none other than the Azure Wave Blade Art, which was just a superior-grade earth-tier cultivation art that was commonly seen in the Jixia Academy.

Being able to unleash top-tier blade force using an earth-tier cultivation art clearly showed how high Helian Beifang’s attainments in the blade were.

“Helian, don’t go overboard!”

Li Zigi reminded him.

She knew that Helian intentionally wanted to make things difficult for Bai Mufeng because the latter showed disrespect for their teacher.

“Cough, cough. Come again!”

Bai Mufeng coughed twice and struggled to stand up. He then took up his sword and prepared to fight again.

“Do you know where you are lacking in?”

Sun Mo asked.

“Absolute strength?”

Bai Mufeng pondered and felt somewhat unconvinced. “If my cultivation base was the same as him, he would not be able to win against me.”

“Helian, come and tell him!”

Sun Mo took the chance to test his student.

“Your sword intent is too weak.”

Helian Beifang shrugged. When he and Xuanyuan Po fought against each other, every time the combat addict used his spear, Helian Beifang would feel that he had entered a spear forest and could be poked full of holes if he was the slightest bit careless.

“Since your father is a sword sage, is he satisfied with you learning the sword?”

Sun Mo counter-asked.

“I’m the direct descendant. If I don’t learn the sword, I can’t possibly allow those fellows born from concubines to inherit my family’s cultivation art, right?”

Bai Mufeng rolled his eyes.

“You and Tang Zhan are equals in many aspects, in fact, you are a hair superior. But when it comes to sword intent, you are far weaker than him!”

Sun Mo guided.

Bzz~

Aclamor rang out in the surroundings because the underlying meaning in Sun Mo’s words was clear. Bai Mufeng’s aptitude was inferior to Tang Zhan’s.

After hearing this, Bai Mufeng’s countenance immediately turned unsightly. He straightened up his neck and rebutted. “But I won!”

“You can still win now. But a year later, you will no longer be able to win against him!”

Sun Mo wasn’t angry because of Bai Mufeng’s attitude. “If my predictions are correct, you should have challenged swordsmen of higher years in your school, correct? However, you always lose the fights!”

Bai Mufeng wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by Sun Mo.

“There’s no need to find excuses like lower cultivation base and insufficient spirit qi. The answer is simple, your talent is inferior to theirs. Your upper limit for sword mastery is stuck at your current level.”

Hua~

Acommotion rang out as everyone stared with their eyes wide open.

It was because Sun Mo was announcing the death sentence for Bai Mufeng’s future.

The direct descendant of a sword sage actually didn’t have the talent for the sword?

It must be fake, right?

“If your father is really a sword sage, he would definitely suggest that you learn other weapons such as the spear!”

Sun Mo bluntly spoke, “Remember this, what determines the upper limit of a person would always be talent. Although this is very cruel, this is what reality is.

“Youth, it’s one thing that you worship your father. I don’t care whether you want to become a sword saint or purely want to train in a top-tier sword art, but I am honestly persuading you to calm down and switch to training in another weapon. Go and temper your impatience and listen to your father’s

advice. He will definitely not harm you.”

Bzz!

Golden light emitted from Sun Mo, illuminating the surroundings.

“It’s Priceless Advice!”

Someone exclaimed in shock. This meant that Sun Mo wasn’t talking nonsense but was truly considering things for Bai Mufeng. If not, this halo wouldn’t have activated.

Bai Mufeng was stunned, not only because of this halo but also because his father had once told him similar things before. However, back then, he thought the reason why his father told him to stop training the sword must be because his father was doting on that vixen, which was his father’s concubine,

and his half-brother that she gave birth to.

(I don’t have a talent for learning the sword?)

Bai Mufeng didn’t believe this. He had felt that his father merely wanted to hand everything down to that half-brother of his, and this was why his father weaved such a lie to cheat him.

But now, Sun Mo actually said the same thing as his father.

“Saint, let us go!”

Sun Mo left the Combat Hall.

The sun in the afternoon was very warm and comfortable.

“Saint, what is your relationship with that youth?”

Sun Mo was curious.

“His father is a good friend of mine!”

Wei Ziyou sighed. “For this child, he was so worried that his heart almost shattered. Yet, the child didn’t believe it when we told him he has no talent when it comes to learning swords.”

“I wouldn’t believe it if I was in his shoes too!”

Sun Mo chortled. “Saint, listen to a piece of advice from me. Even an upright official finds it hard to judge family matters. For Bai Mufeng’s situation, not only does it concern his future, but a fight for the family properties is also included. It’s best for outsiders to steer clear!”

‘Teachers could only give suggestions. The ones that truly could make the decision were still the students.

“Lhave no way to reject a request from my old friend!”

‘Wei Ziyou shook his head. “However, Teacher Sun’s performance made me look at you in a new light!”

‘As expected, a famous person would surely live up to their reputation.

(Ihave to poach him over, regardless of the price!)

The sword discussion in the Combat Hall had caused Sun Mo’s fame to surge. In a mere two days, all students and teachers in the Jixia Academy knew of the fact that Sun Mo had told the son of a sword sage – Bai Mufeng to train in another weapon.

Some doubted Sun Mo’s capabilities as after all, Bai Mufeng’s sword arts were still very strong, But during the third day, Bai Mufeng’s father personally paid a visit to Sun Mo and thanked him for his advice to his son. This immediately quelled all rumors and proved that Sun Mo’s teaching capabilities were

redoubtable.

Fora time, many students paid visits to him, requesting guidance.

Since the time for his lectures on the Jixia Rostrum hadn’t arrived yet, Wei Ziyou also didn’t want to waste Sun Mo’s time, hence, he invited Sun Mo to participate in the exchange program.

Sun Mo readily followed his good advice.

Two lessons per day, he would teach about medical cultivation in the morning and the study of spirit runes in the afternoon, both lasting half an hour each.

Sun Mo’s teaching experience was already extremely sufficient. In addition to the fact that he had Divine Sight for assistance, there were truly no obstacles that could block his path.

At the end of the first lecture, Sun Mo had helped five students to achieve a breakthrough on the scene, and he naturally caused a huge commotion.

On the second day, the 500- pax classroom was fully packed two hours before the lectures began. More than half the seats were occupied by great teachers.

Sun Mo started to awe everyone!
