Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 824 – Could You Possibly Have Some Misunderstanding With Regards to This Holy Term 'Great Ancestor'?

Translator: Lordbluefire 

Bang!

The giant fireball collided against Beardie's fists.

BOOM!

The fireball exploded, causing sparks to fly in all directions and crackling as they fell onto the ground.

“Are you alright?”

Sun Mo was worried.

“No problem at all!”

Beardie calmly placed his hands behind his back.

He couldn't do otherwise because it was too painful. If he placed his hands behind his back, he could still rub them gently to soften the pain.

(Wait. There are students behind me too.)

“But your sleeves are on fire.”

Sun Mo reminded him kindly.

“F***!”

Beardie not only wanted to spew vulgarities, but he even felt an impulse to kill people.

This time around, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and swiftly slapped his right hand onto his thigh, wanting to douse the flames.

(Damn! It's really painful.)

When the fire was extinguished, Beardie saw that his right hand was charred black and even emitting black smoke.

Naturally, because his strength was high enough, he wasn't seriously injured from getting bombarded by the fireball. However, superficial wounds were avoidable. He probably had to nurse his hand for two to three months.

“Teacher Sun, is that a spirit rune that can summon a fireball?”

“Its might seems to be ordinary.”

“Are you blind? That is Teacher Meng who is at the Longevity Realm. If it was someone else, they would have been blasted into smithereens by the fireball.”

The students mumbled as they discussed the destructive might of the fireball.

“This spirit rune is named the Flame Explosion Spirit Rune.”

Sun Mo introduced.

This was a new spirit rune he modified from the flame explosion spirit rune that was originally in the style of a modern electric circuit.

The diagram was simplified; hence, the might was naturally weaker than normal.

After all, he naturally wanted to hold back some cards.

In any case, other than his personal students and the students from the Central Province Academy, no one else needed to dream about learning the original versions of those electric-circuit board spirit runes.

It wasn't that Sun Mo was stingy. Rather, he wanted to leave something unique for the Central Province Academy. If not, how would the Central Province Academy be able to attract elite students?

Naturally, after Sun Mo modified the spirit rune, it conformed more with the aesthetic sense of beauty from people of the Nine Provinces, and it caused many people to marvel in admiration.

In this world, the standard of someone reaching grandmaster level in spirit runes was that they were able to modify spirit runes. But for the standard of reaching the great ancestor level, they had to create a unique spirit rune.

And now, the spirit rune taken out by Sun Mo…

“Why would a great ancestor come to be an intern teacher in our Dragon Subduing Academy? Isn't this a waste of his talent?”

“What do you mean? Our Dragon Subduing Academy is enough to rank in the top three among the Nine Greats.”

“But this is a great ancestor-level spirit runist. Shouldn't the headmaster personally issue an invitation to him?”

The students whispered.

“Are you guys focusing on the wrong thing? The main point here is Teacher Sun is only 20+ years old.”

Someone suddenly asked in curiosity.

“Teacher Sun, how old are you?”

Everyone pricked up their years.

“23, according to the traditional chinese calendar!”

After Sun Mo finished speaking, the sound of everyone inhaling a breath of cold air could be heard as shock filled the faces of them all.

In Sun Mo's vision, numerous streams of favorable impression points were flooding.

However, he didn't feel surprised.

A 23-year old great ancestor…if the shock factor wasn't so great, it would then be a letdown to this status.

“Quiet!”

Wanyan Mei shouted. Clearly, she was pondering about the Flame Explosion Spirit Rune.

Sigh!

(Why didn't I look at it more attentively earlier?)

She wanted to ask Sun Mo to draw another one, but this request was a little too over-the-top.

At this moment, the sound of the bugle horn rang out.

“Students, today's class will end here.”

Sun Mo closed the covers of his lesson plan. “The seats in the classroom are truly too few. So, I hope that for the next lesson, if you are not a student who is studying spirit runes, please don't come here to partake in the liveliness and leave the seats for your fellow students who truly love the study of spirit runes. Can you all do so?”

“Teacher, is it alright if I fall in love with the study of spirit runes now?”

“Why don't you get the school to have a bigger classroom for you. Is the logistic head blind? A great ancestor is worthy of a 500-pax classroom at the bare minimum, right?”

“Teacher, I don't like spirit runes, but I love you. Can I come for your lectures?”

One couldn't help but say that tribal people had always held freedom and romance in esteem. They weren't bound by worldly etiquette. Even a little girl would dare to shout out loud, proclaiming her love for Sun Mo.

Sun Mo smiled and left the classroom.

Although he had left, the students were still standing up and applauding.

This lesson was extremely fascinating and had greatly broadened their horizons.

“Great ancestor?”

Jin Yan had a look of shock on his face.

“Don't ask me. I don't know anything either.”

Xiao Di shook his head.

He had come for the lecture because he wanted to learn from Sun Mo's experience and see how he could become more outstanding. But after he finished hearing, he realized…

He wasn't able to learn anything!

Because this was basically something humans couldn't achieve.

Fellows who focused on cultivation would be already considered somewhat impressive if they could reach the eighth level of the Divine Force Realm at the age of 23. They could even be titled with the term geniuses.

But Sun Mo even had such high attainments in the study of spirit runes.

This was truly impressive!

The comprehensive aspects made Sun Mo incomparably strong.

“I suddenly feel that there's a sense of glory from fighting against him in the morning and receiving his teachings.”

Xiao Di scratched his head.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Xiao Di +100. Friendly (150/1,000).

“No matter who it is, they will definitely laugh up their sleeves if they are guided by a great ancestor!”

Jin Yan rolled his eyes.

“Stop talking, I feel even more miserable than losing a million taels.”

Tie Le felt depressed because he had cowardly avoided fighting in the morning.

Wanyan Mei frowned heavily as she walked out of the classroom.

(Damn, I originally thought that my standard of the study of spirit runes has reached a remarkable level. But who knew that I was still so lacking. The knowledge of the Central Plains with regard to spirit runes is truly extremely deep and profound.)

Sun Mo's lecture today had brought huge inspiration to Wanyan Mei. She had to digest them properly.

“Created his own spirit runes? A great ancestor?”

Murong Ye stared at Beardie who was standing before his office desk. He had a heavy expression and almost cursed out loud, “Is it very fun to prank this old man?”

(If you say Sun Mo is a grandmaster spirit runist, I might believe it. But a great ancestor? Do you have some misunderstanding with regards to this holy term 'great ancestor'?)

Even for a supreme-tier famous school like the Dragon Subduing Academy, out of the several thousands of top-level great teachers, there might only be about 20 great ancestors.

Great ancestors were existences who could set up their own sects and factions and were major characters who stood at the frontier of their subjects.

“I feel it's impossible, but the truth is so. Sun Mo has created a new spirit rune that was never seen before in the Nine Provinces. As for modifying spirit runes? That is unworthy to be mentioned.”

Beardie's sense of superiority became non-existent, leaving behind only an intense ruefulness. “No wonder he has the confidence to obtain 3 stars in a year and even wants to become a three-time champion. He is truly amazing.”

“What if that's a spirit rune he found from a darkness ruin?”

Murong Ye suddenly thought of a possibility. After all, the concept of a 23-year-old great ancestor-level spirit runist was simply too ridiculous.

“From what I can tell, Sun Mo's character is extremely proud. He should feel disdain for shameless things like that.”

Beardie shook his head.

Murong Ye looked at Beardie as he silently mused. (Are you so psychologically impacted until you submit cheerfully? You actually trust him so much?)

“Vice headmaster, we have to keep this talent no matter what!”

No matter how much Beardie disliked people from the Central Plains, he was strongly recommending Sun Mo now. Because a great-ancestor spirit runist would directly increase the 'power' of the Dragon Subduing Academy, it would be a qualitative improvement.

“If he truly has such capabilities. Even if you didn't say anything, I would also act.”

Murong Ye indicated that Beardie could leave. After that, he stood at his window and gazed at the campus with a deep look in his eyes.

It seemed like he had to pay more attention to this Sun Mo from now on.

Maybe, Sun Mo could become one of his miraculous soldiers.

It was still early and wasn't time for lunch yet. Hence, Sun Mo headed to the library and prepared to flip through some books about beast taming.

The bookshelves were made from timber and had a red layer of paint on them. There were even diagrams of various tribes engraved on them. Despite them being simple and unadorned, they also exuded a majestic aura.

Sun Mo walked one round and carried over ten books before heading to the reading section.

Under the effect of Encyclopedic Knowledge, there was no problem to finish reading three or four books in an hour.

“Sadly, I don't know Retentive Memory!”

Sun Mo felt a little envious of the Little Sunny Egg's ability.

He found a seat and started to read. At a seat not far away from him, there was a young man with crutches sitting there.

It was none other than Xiao Ri`nan who had been deliberately targeted by Wanyan Zhenghe back then. The potential value of this kid was extremely high.

Sun Mo hesitated a little but didn't choose to go over and greet him. Only when lunchtime arrived did he stand up and return the books before he walked over to Xiao Ri`nan.

“Are you interested in the study of beast taming?”

Sun Mo discovered that the books Xiao Ri`nan borrowed all belonged to the same category.

Xiao Ri`nan was very polite. He rose and nodded while greeting.

“Sit!”

Sun Mo indicated for Xiao Ri`nan to sit beside him. “Do you want to learn it because you like the subject or you feel it's because it is very powerful?”

“There are no students in the Dragon Subduing Academy who dislike the study of beast taming I guess,” said Xiao Ri`nan.

The youths in this school had all heard about the story of their founder. Hence, they also hoped to be able to tame a giant dragon and conquer a thousand mountains and lakes, leaving their name behind in history.

“What if they don't have talent in beast taming?”

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight again and surveyed this youth.

“What is talent? From my point of view, hard work is even more important.”

Xiao Ri`nan's tone was neither supercilious nor obsequious. “I think the act of liking something is considered the best talent. After all, you will only put your 100% into something that you really like.

“Your saying isn't wrong.”

Sun Mo approved. “It's just that if you change your focus to the art of spiritual control, your achievements would probably be even greater!”

“Art of spiritual control?” Xiao Ri`nan was astonished. “How did you know that?”

“It is a unique skill I have. However, my words are definitely true.”

Sun Mo smiled.

“Teacher, I've lived for ten years, but the number of books I read about the art of spiritual control don't exceed five. Yet, you are saying that I have talent in that subject?”

Xiao Ri`nan wanted to laugh, but he didn't do so out of politeness.

“You can give it a try.”

Sun Mo suggested.

“I've learned the study of beast taming for ten years, but you want me to give it up? That's basically impossible. Also, the most important thing is to climb back up where I fell down. I want to be able to tame a powerful ferocious beast and defeat Wanyan Zhenghe.”

Xiao Ri`nan's eyes shone with resolution.

Because Sun Mo had spoken up for him before, Xiao Ri`nan respected Sun Mo very much. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a bit annoyed because Sun Mo's behavior seemed too rash.

They had only met twice, but Sun Mo wanted him to change the subject he focused on? This was simply taking the future of a student as a joke.

Xiao Ri`nan no longer had any interest in speaking, so he lowered his head and continued reading.

Sun Mo shook his head slightly. He rose and wanted to leave. “I have some talent in the study of spiritual control. If you wish to learn, you can come to look for me at any time.”

(This is a genius whose potential value is extremely high. Sigh, it seems that I'm going to miss out on him.)

After lunch, Sun Mo returned to the library. He was reading while thinking if there was a possibility to convince Xiao Ri`nan. This was because if Xiao Ri`nan continued to learn beast taming, it would truly be a waste of his talent.

But very soon, Sun Mo didn't have any mood to care about it anymore. This was because a female great teacher had entered his vision.

She was too beautiful, and it caused Sun Mo to cast a few more glances at her.
