Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 885: Crow Turning Into Phoenix

By now, no one doubted Xianyu Wei’s words anymore

In Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, which was the peak of the feudal era, swearing was a very sacred thing to do. People believed in this and unless they were left with no choice, they’d definitely not swear on their ancestors and themselves.

An oath of eternal damnation was something very brutal that no one dared to use. What if it came true?

However, would Sun Mo really impart a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art to a student who wasn’t his personal disciple?

Wasn’t he too generous?

(Aren’t you scared that your father will beat you to death, scolding you for being unfilial if he were to find out?)

Moreover, Xianyu Wei was a girl. In this generation where things were passed down to males only, Sun Mo’s behavior really toppled common sense.

It was simply unbelievable!

Compared to the astonishment felt by Basangzhuoma and the others, what Wurenbu and Meihala felt was even greater. They had been martial siblings studying under the same teacher for two years, and had often sparred in the past. They were extremely familiar with her.

“How did she go through such great changes in merely three months?”

Meihala couldn’t understand.

(I thought that her life was over after Teacher gave up on her because great teachers usually wouldn’t recruit students who had been cast away by other great teachers.)

Sun Mo was able to detect a student’s aptitude using his Divine Sight as well as the ancient massaging technique. However, most great teachers relied on experience.

After taking in a personal disciple, any great teacher would do their best to test a student’s aptitude, trying to find out their strengths and helping them to become successful.

If the great teacher in question gave up on their student, this meant that they had run out of things that they could do.

“I didn’t expect that after Teacher gave up on Xianyu Wei, it turned out to be the start of her transforming from a crow into a phoenix.”

Meihala felt very emotional and envious at the same time.

Teacher Sun was amazing. He really lived up to his reputation!

(How nice would it be if I could be his student!)

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Meihala +1,000. Respect (1,890/10,000).

Meihala assessed Xianyu Wei, looking at her great figure that was filled with a powerful sense of beauty. Somehow, Meihala felt that her aptitude might have been held back by Teacher Song En`min.

After all, there was no way that her aptitude would be worse off than this fat girl, right?

“Basangzhuoma, get them to carry on!”

Sa Yue urged. She wanted to get those junior students to wear out Xianyu Wei.

Basangzhuoma turned and threw a glance at the people in his group. After seeing the worry on their faces, he smiled in self-mockery. “They won’t be able to win. Please go ahead.”

“I won’t stand on ceremony then!” Sa Yue then looked toward the Huting brothers. “Go on.”

“What do you mean go on?”

Huting Le smiled bitterly. “Go on and have our ribs broken?”

“We aren’t her senior martial siblings. She won’t hold back against us.”

Huting De sighed. “Senior Sa Yue, I’m sorry. We won’t be taking on this deal.”

Sa Yue’s countenance changed and started to agitate them. “How do you know that it won’t work if you don’t give it a try? Don’t you guys find it embarrassing to be scared of a girl?”

“It’s better to be embarrassed than to lose our lives!”

Huting De shook his head.

“That’s right. I don’t wish to be lying in bed for a few months.”

Even Huting Le, who usually had a positive character, was cowering.

“You guys...”

Sa Yue was almost driven to death by frustration.

“If you guys aren’t fighting, I’ll be leaving.”

After taking two sips of water, Xianyu Wei, who had enough rest, went on her way again.

This time around, she felt a lot more confident. After these battles, she knew how strong she was.

“To think that I defeated Eldest Martial Brother and also instantly won against Second Senior Martial Sister. Lord, I’ve become someone strong now!”

Xianyu Wei felt very happy inside as if all the bones in her body had become lighter.

(If I continue to learn from Teacher, won’t I also have the chance to defeat Teacher Song En`min?)

To speak the truth, Xianyu Wei felt aggrieved and was unwilling to accept being given up on by Song En`min because this meant that he had denied her entire existence.

Looking at Xianyu Wei’s departing figure, Sa Yue smiled coldly. (You want to bring the white deer back to the campsite? No way. Since I can’t get it, then let there be a chaotic battle!)

Sa Yue drew out an arrow from her quiver and shot it up into the sky, wanting to attract more students to create a chaotic battlefield.

...

At the campsite, Sun Mo was still ‘giving examinations’.

“So annoying!”

Sun Mo was speechless. For three whole days, he wasn’t at peace regardless of when he was eating or sleeping. Students kept on coming over to seek guidance from him, and some great teachers were participating as well. It was really tiring.

Although he had gotten quite a lot of favorable impression points, it was too boring.

“It’s no wonder that people have to rest for two days to adjust their mental state after working for a long period. If I continue to work like this, I’ll definitely get sick of it.”

Sun Mo sighed.

“I finally know why those guys who married beautiful female celebrities would still have extramarital affairs. When one eats a dish too many times, they’d get sick of it. Sigh, it’s really unfair!”

Of course, other than getting favorable impression points, Sun Mo had also accumulated quite a lot of experience. After all, when there were more specimens, some would be worth recording down.

“Let the test end quickly. I’m missing my eight students!”

Sun Mo was starting to miss home and his eight personal disciples. He wondered how they were doing.

There was no need to worry about Li Ziqi. Lu Zhiruo was also very docile. Tantai Yutang, who was a nutcase, might stir up trouble, but Jiang Leng could put him in his place.

Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu should be focused on their cultivation without any distractions. They respectively wanted to become number one in the world and earn glory for Sun Mo.

“I should help Baiwu look for a life goal.”

Sun Mo thought about it. He could feel that Ying Baiwu was very reliant on him as if he was her father.

Everything she did was for him, who was her teacher. There were feelings of repaying his kindness.

He wasn’t too familiar with Helian Beifang and Qin Yaoguang yet. However, this young man who had come from the north was very mature mentally. He was probably spending his time in the library, working hard to learn the Central Plains’ culture and thereby strengthen his tribe.

As for the gluttonous girl whose pockets were always filled with food, she should be going through the streets in search of places that offered delicious food.

“I wonder if An Xinhui and Jin Mujie have passed the 4-star examination. I haven’t seen Gu Xiuxun for very long as well. I quite miss her.”

Sun Mo suddenly had an impulse to make a poem to express his current feelings. However, he had just started to nurture his mood when he heard a commotion coming from not far away.

“Hurry up and go check it out! Someone hunted a white deer!”

As a loud voice rang out, half of the students who were crowding around Sun Mo’s tent instantly ran off. The remaining students were all in the queue.

The reason why they didn’t wish to leave was because they had waited very long to reach this far in the queue. It’d be a great loss for them to give up now.

“Teacher also needs to get some rest and wants to go check out who the hunting king is. Can everyone make some accommodation for him?”

Tuoba Cong was quick to catch on and encouraged everyone.

The students were torn, but at this moment, discussion voices rang out again.

“Quickly go check out the campsite’s eastern entrance. It’s said that the fight there is very intense and some students have died.”

“It’s a beautiful girl from the junior grade. She’s really amazing!”

“The latest news is that the girl has been surrounded and is being attacked. She lost the white deer and Basangzhuoma plans on making a move.”

All the students were calling out for their friends. After all, the most exciting moment had arrived. They’d regret it if they were to miss it.

“Teacher, should we go check things out as well?”

Tuoba Cong put out his hand toward Sun Mo’s arm, wanting to help him up.

“I’m not old, why do I need help?”

Sun Mo was speechless. (It’s a waste of your talent not to be a palace eunuch with how you’re acting now.)

“This is what they call flair!”

Tuoba Cong felt aggrieved. “I saw that all of those great ancestors act like this. You’re also a great ancestor-level spirit runist, so you shouldn’t lose out in terms of your disposition.”

“Scram!”

Sun Mo slapped Tuoba Cong on the head.

This kid kept on finding ways to curry up to him.

“Ziyu, are you feeling better? Do you want to come along to check out the hunting king?”

Mei Ziyu’s tent wasn’t far away, and Sun Mo called out for her in passing.

Although Mei Ziyu had gotten a lot better after receiving treatment from Sun Mo, the northern great plains’ winter was too harsh. Staying here for a few months caused her condition to worsen a bit.

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Mei Ziyu felt a little giddy today, but since Sun Mo had invited her, she must definitely go.

“Teacher, hurry up!”

Tuoba Cong urged. If they were to go late, the show would be over.

“You can go on first.”

Sun Mo didn’t mind it. After all, no matter how great the hunting king’s performance was, they belonged to someone else and not him.

However, when Sun Mo walked over to the campsite’s entrance and saw Xianyu Wei, who was battling various people at the bottom of the slope over 100 meters away, he was a little astonished.

His gaze moved down and he saw that she was carrying a white deer on her back.

(Is someone born with great strength so willful?)

Sun Mo was speechless. He’d never had expected even in his dreams that Xianyu Wei would be able to come this far.

“It’s Xianyu!”

Mei Ziyu covered her mouth and gasped, looking worried.

Xianyu Wei had been fighting intensely for so long, and her uniform was covered in blood. Some belonged to her but most belonged to her enemies. Even her small face was covered in traces of blood.

The white deer she was carrying on her back was in a battered state after being slashed by sharp blades as she had used it as a shield. Even the deer’s head was drooping onto the ground.

“What is this girl called? She looks so beautiful. Does anyone know her?”

“Her disposition is so wild, reminding me of the first time I went to hunt a wild boar. That prey was as rash as her.”

“Is there such a person from the third grade?”

The students discussed amongst themselves. Their interests were piqued.

Xianyu Wei hadn’t lost as the higher-grade students couldn’t make a move. Those who were from the same grade or lower started to challenge her in succession.

After all, it’d be too embarrassing if they were to surround and attack a girl. Therefore, they chose to take her on one by one.

Many students hadn’t treated Xianyu Wei as an opponent, feeling that they’d be able to win easily. They had thought that they only needed to figure out how to break out from the rest of the people and arrive at the campsite.

But very soon, most of them realized that they were too naive. They couldn’t even win against Xianyu Wei, so there was no need for them to consider what to do thereafter.

Although Xianyu Wei won the successive battles, she wasn’t able to break free.

There was no helping it. There were too many students around and she was unable to break through. No matter what direction she ran in, she’d be stopped.

This was a stalemate. Everyone knew that Xianyu Wei would be exhausted sooner or later, but her reputation had grown from all the battles.

“This girl is so amazing! Sigh, why don’t I have a personal disciple like her?”

Amongst the crowd, Song En`min watched as Xianyu Wei displayed her great prowess. He then felt so envious that he was going to drool. Such a pretty disciple was both pleasing to the eye and had a great aptitude. Moreover, she was able to fight well. She was perfect.

(But why does she look a little familiar?)
