Chapter 817 - Great Teacher Halo, [Unworthy of being Taught]



Chapter 817: Great Teacher Halo, [Unworthy of being Taught]

Out of his three dorm mates, Zhou Liqing and Tuoba Cao’s potential values were rated as high while Helian Xue’s was extremely high.

Sun Mo was completely not surprised by the data. Since they dared to seek employment in the Dragon Subduing Academy, these three people must have some capabilities. However, they also have some problems.

Among them, Zhou Liqing had stolen an alchemy pill from his dorm mate when he was still schooling. Although he wasn’t caught red-handed, people did suspect him and this caused quite a huge commotion in his school.

He didn’t seek employment in the Central Plains because he was afraid this matter might be exposed and affect his career.

If he first established his might in the Dragon Subduing Academy, he could gain fame while earning money. Even if he just worked here for one or two years and was forced to leave due to his standard of teaching not being high enough, it didn’t matter then.

Because, the status of a teacher from the Nine Greats was enough for him to establish dominance in a ‘B’ grade academy. Also, based on his aptitude, no one would dare to suspect that he was a thief.

Although Tuoba Cao’s potential value was high, because he was born in poverty and his father was a slave, his learning path was filled with extreme difficulty and he had wasted a lot of time. If not, his accomplishments now would be even higher.

Also, he had an urgent wish of wanting to stand out among his peers.

He wanted to be part of the nobility and have ten thousand slaves as well as countless sheep and cows. This fellow didn’t plan to teach many students although he was a great teacher. He purely wanted to become a great teacher for the sake of using this status as a means to climb up the social ladder.

He hated Wanyan Zhenghe, but he also wished to work for Wanyan Zhenghe’s father.

It was somewhat difficult to make someone like this leave his homeland.

As for Helian Xue, he was an extremely proud individual and would surely look down on the Central Province Academy. Besides, he came here to seek employment because he wanted to learn beast taming techniques from the headmaster.

It was clearly impossible to headhunt any of these three dorm mates.

“Pearflower candies from Jiangnan, do you guys want to give them a try?”

Sun Mo had no interest in food. These things were packed for him by Lu Zhiruo because she was worried he might be bored during the journey. He could then eat these to relieve his boredom.

“Nope.”

The three of them declined.

Zhou Liqing treated Sun Mo as a competitor and didn’t wish to interact with him too deeply. Tuoba Cao was worried that these candies might be too expensive and he didn’t want to owe Sun Mo a favor. As for Helian Xue, he purely didn’t like sweet stuff.

The topic was broken just like that, causing the atmosphere to be a little awkward.

After all, these four people were working hard to earn the qualifications to stay in the school and wanted to surpass each other.

Sun Mo shrugged. He went to wash up before he slept.

It was a quiet night.

On the second morning, when the first rays of the morning sun just shone, Sun Mo met up with Mei Ziyu and headed to the Dragon Subduing Palace.

“I did a check. There were only 50 people in Jiang Ji’s lecture yesterday. Do you think he would be so psychologically impacted to the point where he becomes autistic?”

Mei Ziyu teased.

Although the number was quite high, he was insignificant when compared to Sun Mo.

“Actually, I played some tricks or the number of people attending my lectures wouldn’t be so high.”

Sun Mo felt a little embarrassed.

“These aren’t called ‘tricks’ but ‘battle strategy’. If Jiang Ji was capable enough, he would have done the same thing and shouted something heroic!”

Mei Ziyu solemnly spoke, safeguarding Sun Mo’s honor. She adopted a posture as though she was transforming into Sun Mo’s little crazy fan.

Truthfully speaking, she felt very lucky that she had chosen to come and participate in the 3-star great teacher examination. If not, she wouldn’t be able to see such an outstanding Sun Mo.

(These three months will definitely become the most worthy of reminiscing periods in my life.)

After arriving at the teleportation formation, Mei Ziyu didn’t wait for Sun Mo to take out money and took the initiative to purchase the tickets using an alchemy pill.

“Oh, two tickets. Enter then!”

The middle-aged man, who was the gatekeeper here, drank his tea while playing with the alchemy pill he had just obtained. He had an excited look on his face. (Zhe, I’m going to strike it rich now.)

Just the pill’s fragrance could clear his mind and make him feel refreshed. This was definitely a top-tier product.

“Let’s go!”

Mei Ziyu wanted to pull on Sun Mo’s hands, but she didn’t dare to.

“How many times can we enter?”

Sun Mo didn’t move and surveyed the middle-aged man.

“One person, one time. Why?”

Mei Ziyu didn’t understand.

“Wait a minute!”

Sun Mo walked toward the middle-aged man.

“What’s the matter?”

The middle-aged man frowned.

“Isn’t the ticket for the Dragon Subduing Palace a spirit stone for one?”

Sun Mo couldn’t find any listing of the ticket price. This was highly unprofessional.

“Yup. Why?”

The middle-aged man was already unhappy. (This person doesn’t look familiar and is clearly an intern teacher. There’s no need to be afraid of him.)

“The alchemy pill my friend gave you can be exchanged for 1,000 spirit stones at the very least. You are just giving us two tickets?”

Sun Mo ridiculed.

“What do you mean?”

The middle-aged man’s tone was filled with unhappiness. “If you don’t want to enter, just leave. Besides, is the 1,000 spirit stones something you can guarantee?”

“Don’t tell me a peerless heaven-tier alchemy pill is not worth this price?”

Sun Mo looked at the alchemy pill in the dark hands of the middle-aged man and suddenly felt some sweetness in his heart for Mei Ziyu.

“Peerless-grade heaven-tier?”

The middle-aged man was shocked. The level of the pill was even higher than what he had imagined. (No, I must get it for sure.) Just when he was thinking of what to do, he saw Sun Mo’s expression. He then felt joy in his heart and exerted force to knead the pill with his dirty hands.

“If you don’t want to exchange the tickets, I can return this back to you.”

The middle-aged man revealed an arrogant expression as though he didn’t give a damn about their decision.

As a long-time ticket seller, the middle-aged man had met too many people before. This black-haired girl was definitely from a wealthy clan based on her demeanor earlier.

This pill might be very expensive to ordinary people but to her, it was just a snack.

“Forget it, let’s go!”

Mei Ziyu didn’t want such a minor matter to affect the mood of her and Sun Mo’s tour.

“No.”

Sun Mo mentally mused. (I’ve even beaten up the little prince of Jin Country. Why should I let a gatekeeper take advantage of us?)

Naturally, the main point was that Sun Mo hated such behavior the most.

For popular scenic spots in the entire country, the tickets were all highly priced. But for many of them, the value didn’t match up to the cost.

Many tourists came from afar and felt they would lose out if they didn’t view the scenery. But after entering, they felt that they lost out even more.

In any case, the mindset of these gatekeepers was that most tourists would only come here once in their lifetimes. (If I don’t ‘slaughter’ you, who would I ‘slaughter’?)

There was simply no integrity to speak of.

Because of Sun Mo and the middle-aged man’s argument, some students began to crowd around to watch.

“If you find it expensive, you can leave. I’m not forcing you to enter.”

The middle-aged man felt secure in the knowledge he had backing.

“Teacher Sun, did something happen?”

Duanmu Li just so coincidentally came by for his morning practice. When he saw this scene, he walked over.

“You are…?”

This great teacher had such a great presence.

“This humble self is Duanmu Li!”

Duanmu Li clasped his fist. “I saw your lecture yesterday.”

“Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!”

Sun Mo hurriedly returned the greeting. After that, he succinctly explained the situation using a few sentences. “I’ve let Teacher Duanmu see a joke.”

“Not a joke!”

Duanmu Li indicated to Sun Mo not to mind it. After that, he looked at the middle-aged man. “Why have you not changed your habits of bullying people from the Central Plains?”

“Hehe, Grandmaster Duanmu must be joking. I’m just a gatekeeper, how would I dare to bully great teachers?”

The middle-aged man lowered his status.

After all, Duanmu Li had already worked in the Dragon Subduing Academy for ten years. Not only did he have seniority, but he was also a grandmaster in both botany and alchemy.

“You don’t dare? Then why did you intentionally contaminate the pill?”

Duanmu Li lectured, “Why are you not apologizing to Great Teacher Sun yet?”

“Great Teacher Sun? Sun Mo?” The middle-aged man started. “That person who beat up the little prince?”

“I don’t need an apology.”

Sun Mo was thinking about how to teach this fellow a lesson. As for the middle-aged man, his expression became a playful one.

(If I make this fellow suffer a disadvantage here, I can probably earn a reward from the little prince, right?)

As he thought of this, the middle-aged man felt even more secure. “Grandmaster Duanmu, I was framed. I’m just a gatekeeper, so how would I know if this pill is valuable? Che, I don’t want it anymore, can’t I just return it to him?”

The middle-aged man’s dark hands forcefully squeezed the pill when he passed it back, causing the beautiful alchemy pill to be contaminated with black-colored grime and filth.

“What a waste of heavenly treasure!”

Duanmu Li’s expression gradually turned cold. He flicked his sleeves. “Great Teacher Sun let us leave. This fellow is not teachable!”

To Duanmu Li, speaking one more sentence to such a person was akin to humiliation. Hence, he directly chose to punish him.

Bzz!

As Duanmu Li’s voice rang out, a white-colored arrow materialized in the air and penetrated the middle-aged man’s glabella. After that, it shot out from the back of his head and turned into a blood-colored one.

The middle-aged man who purposely wanted to disgust Sun Mo was revealing a complacent expression. But at this moment, his expression froze and turned sluggish. After that, drools seeped out from his mouth.

“Ah?”

Sun Mo was a little surprised.

There weren’t many punishment-type great teacher halos, but their effects were all extremely strong. For example, this ‘Unworthy of being Taught’ had the effect of lowering intellect.

Those who were hit by it would directly turn into an idiot.

From Duanmu Li’s point of view, arguing with this man was just a waste of time. Hence, since the middle-aged man was in the wrong, he would just punish him directly.

“This…”

Mei Ziyu wanted to say. “Turning a person into an idiot just because of an alchemy pill. Isn’t the punishment too severe?”

“Teacher Sun, some people are already so bad that it seeps into their bones. We are no longer able to teach them. They are like weeds in a garden and we should uproot them as soon as possible, not showing any mercy to not let them affect others.”

Duanmu Li spoke frankly with assurance, without guilt in his heart.

“This slave not only bullies people from the Central Plains, but he would also frequently taunt females with filthy speeches filled with obscenities. I originally thought since he doesn’t cross me, it’s fine so I didn’t bother. But today, I don’t want to endure any longer.”

Duanmu Li consoled. “Great Teacher Sun don’t have to worry. I will explain this matter to vice headmaster Murong.”

“Please do not do this. This matter started because of me, so I will bear the responsibility.”

Sun Mo looked at Duanmu Li’s expression that was filled with righteousness, and he suddenly felt convinced by his actions and words.

This was truly an extremely serious great teacher.

If Duanmu Li was an official, he would be a judge. You had no way to criticize him because those he punished were all bad people.

“Let’s not waste time on such minor matters. The two of you want to go to the Dragon Subduing Palace, right? Why don’t I act as your guide?”

Duanmu Li recommended himself.

“We will have to trouble Teacher Duanmu then.”

Sun Mo clasped his fists.

This great teacher gave him a very good feeling. Also, his strict demeanor reminded him of those teaching heads in colleges.

Sun Mo’s eyes dazzled when he stood on the teleportation formation. After the light vanished, he directly appeared in a large hall.

In this place, plenty of students were currently sitting cross-legged in meditation.

“The Dragon Subduing Palace is an ultimate treasure of the Dragon Subduing Academy. It is open to everyone, but if they overestimate their strength, they will be heavily injured.”

Duanmu Li introduced. “For example, after we cross this corridor, we will arrive at a great hall on the other side. The great hall is named the Dragonroar Great Hall and every three minutes, a loud dragon roar will echo out. If one can’t endure it, they will cough up blood for light cases, but their hearts might shatter from the impact and they would die for heavy cases.”

“Naturally, if one could endure it, the cultivator’s will and strength would be tempered, allowing their cultivation bases to improve faster.”
