“I’m fine!”
Gu Xiuxun did her best to squeeze a smile. “Sun Mo, I pray for your success!”
“Your eyes are already swollen from crying, yet you still say you are fine?”
Sun Mo sat on the grassy ground. “We are considered friends, right? Since that’s the case, why don’t you tell me? Or have I been thinking too much all this while?”
“No, I really do treat you as a friend.”
Gu Xiuxun hesitated for a while and sighed. She then continued, “I feel that I’ve let down Zhang Yanzong’s trust. Given his strength, he ought to be able to ascend to the Greencloud Rankings. However, I’m not qualified to participate in the 2-star great teacher examination and have no way to bring him up to an even larger stage.”
“Not qualified?”
Sun Mo frowned.
“The number of great teacher halos I’ve comprehended aren’t enough!”
Gu Xiuxun smiled bitterly.
Honestly speaking, to a teacher who had just graduated for a year, being able to comprehend five great teacher halos was already something impressive. That teacher would be able to boast no matter which school he or she joined, and they would be considered a dazzling existence. However, the Central Province Academy had Sun Mo and Liu Mubai. Hence, Gu Xiuxun’s radiance was covered by them.
Sun Mo fell silent. He had no solution for such a matter.
After Gu Xiuxun considered for a while, she turned her head and looked at Sun Mo. She spoke in a solemn tone, “I’ve been seriously thinking about whether I should transfer Zhang Yanzong to you?”
“Are you crazy?”
Sun Mo frowned. “Quickly discard this thought of yours. Do you know that by doing this, you are insulting Zhang Yanzong and despising yourself?”
“But you would definitely not delay Zhang Yanzong’s progress!”
Gu Xiuxun rebutted.
“That might not be the case. Between students and teachers, there’s still a need to see whether they would be a good match or not. You shouldn’t be unduly humble. You are the most suitable teacher for Zhang Yanzong!”
Sun Mo consoled. Gu Xiuxun was still too tender, considering things on behalf of her student. Many great teachers would come to blows to snatch a good student.
Moreover, if a 1-star great teacher wanted to rise in ranks, they would have to depend on the battle achievements of their students.
“Sun Mo, thank you!”
Gu Xiuxun no longer argued, but she was silently grateful for Sun Mo’s consoling and open-mindedness. If it was any other teacher, there was a 90% chance that they would agree to the transfer of Zhang Yanzong.
“I suddenly recall an idea, but I don’t know if it can allow you to comprehend great teacher halos.”
Sun Mo surveyed Gu Xiuxun.
“What solution?”
Gu Xiuxun was curious.
“Draw in a deep breath and use your heart to sense this!”
After Sun Mo spoke, he started to recall the feelings and experiences he felt every time he used a great teacher halo. After that, a white glow lit up on his right hand.
Just when Gu Xiuxun was still puzzled, Sun Mo punched out.
BOOM!
His fist stopped before Gu Xiuxun’s forehead. That white glow shot forth from Sun Mo’s hand and entered her forehead.
BOOM!
Countless bits of knowledge instantly exploded forth in her mind, causing Gu Xiuxun’s countenance to contort. But after that, she was completely immersed in the insights as she revealed a look of contemplation.
When using Priceless Advice, one must speak from the bottom of their hearts. They must sincerely wish for the good of their targets when they spoke!
As for Ignorant and Incompetent…
The purpose of its existence wasn’t to punish students or to vent the great teacher’s unhappiness. Rather, it was when the great teacher was watching a bad student about to destroy their own future, a sense of agony and reluctance appeared in the great teacher’s heart. They wanted to help the bad student rebuild their future path.
Teacher for a Day, Father for Life!
Eh, that was a high-end, hard-to-understand concept. However, the user would feel a sense of accomplishment from having students all around the world, as well as self-confidence.
What was a great teacher? It meant that they could treat any children as their own and patiently guide them.
Misleading Students!
Gu Xiuxun understood this one. She knew how to feel when one saw an unqualified teacher delaying a student’s progress.
As for the other great teacher halos, even for Profound Words, the concept within was relatively simple, and Gu Xiuxun instantly understood them all. However, when it came to Soul Imprint, Gu Xiuxun was stunned.
As expected, this was a unique halo belonging to Sun Mo!
One must know that comprehending a brand new halo was a requirement if one wanted to take the 8-star great teacher examination. If they couldn’t do so, they would stay at the 7-star ranking forever.
She didn’t expect that Sun Mo had managed to do so right now.
How envious!
When Gu Xiuxun regained her senses, she discovered that the bright moon was hanging high in the sky and it was already late into the night.
“How is it?”
Sun Mo asked in concern.
“Why don’t you take a guess?”
Gu Xiuxun’s lips mischievously curled into a smile.
“Stop playing around, tell me quickly!”
Sun Mo urged.
Upon seeing the intense worry from Sun Mo’s furrowed brows, Gu Xiuxun suddenly felt warmth in her heart. She could no longer endure it and leaned forward to hug him.
“Eh!”
Sun Mo was shocked, his body froze as he didn’t know what to do.
“Thank you!”
As Gu Xiuxun spoke, she suddenly lifted her head and planted a kiss on Sun Mo’s cheek.
Sun Mo, who originally wanted to say something, was extremely startled. This action was too intimate. It definitely wasn’t as simple as thanking him.
Gu Xiuxun’s face was red. She originally wanted to let go of her hug, but she hesitated. She then endured her shyness and looked at Sun Mo’s eyes.
Sun Mo turned his head and shifted his gaze away.
“Ai, you are destined to be lonely forever. There’s no hope for you!”
The system was speechless. A high-graded meal was sent to your room, yet you refused to eat it!
Upon seeing Sun Mo’s behavior, Gu Xiuxun suddenly felt hurt in her heart. It was as though a sharp knife had penetrated it. After that, she pushed Sun Mo away and did her best to squeeze out a smile.
“Don’t overthink things, this is just to thank you for helping me comprehend a new great teacher halo!”
Gu Xiuxun explained. She even gave Sun Mo a punch in passing.
This punch was filled with flavors!
“Really?” Sun Mo was curious. “What is it?”
Gu Xiuxun snapped her finger.
Pak!
A golden-colored halo immediately shone with her in the center.
Sun Mo was shone upon by the halo and he immediately felt extremely refreshed. All his worry and negative emotions were cleansed.
“Sudden Insight?”
Sun Mo contemplated a little as he found the corresponding great teacher halo’s name from the knowledge in his mind.
“Mn!”
Gu Xiuxun nodded.
Sudden Insight was a support-type great teacher halo. Its purpose was to enhance a student’s comprehension and increase the chance of them gaining enlightenment.
For example, when a student was doing a major maths question, he might feel perplexed about where to start. But after being affected by Sudden Insight, he would easily find the key point of the question.
“From what I know, this halo is also considered extremely rare.”
Sun Mo had originally thought that Gu Xiuxun would comprehend one of his nine halos.
“It’s all thanks to you!”
Gu Xiuxun was excited. She had finally comprehended six halos and was now qualified to participate in the 2-star great teacher examination.
A 21 years old 2-star great teacher would surely shock everyone. However, Gu Xiuxun didn’t care about honor and glory. She just didn’t want to delay Zhang Yanzong’s progress.
Right now, Gu Xiuxun’s heart was fully filled with gratitude toward Sun Mo.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Gu Xiuxun +1,000. Reverence (18,800/100,000).
One could say that Gu Xiuxun would benefit her entire life just from comprehending this halo.
“Your Soul Imprint is so impressive!”
Gu Xiuxun sighed ruefully, feeling a little envy. After that, she lifted her arm and knocked Sun Mo lightly. “Fortunately, you are my friend, or I would surely be jealous to death.”
“Don’t underestimate yourself. Soul Imprint is only a trigger. The main reason why you could comprehend Sudden Insight still depended on your outstanding talent!”
Sun Mo explained.
He understood somewhat. Because Gu Xiuxun was very meticulous in her thinking and proficient in observation, she managed to comprehend Sudden Insight after experiencing Sun Mo’s nine halos.
Fundamentally, it was still because Gu Xiuxun was filled with spirituality that he could comprehend this halo. It was just like Li Ziqi comprehending the Retentive Memory. If you didn’t have the relevant experience, you would not be able to comprehend anything.
What was spirituality?
On the soccer field, only very few soccer players could pass the ball phenomenally or score in ways no one could imagine. The vast majority of soccer players were playing by the book, extremely ordinary. Even soccer fans would know what their next move was.
“Although I know you are praising me, I will still accept this compliment shamelessly!”
Gu Xiuxun smiled sweetly. She used her finger and tapped Sun Mo on his chin. “Come, sing some more praises for me!”
“Scram!”
Pak!
Sun Mo shifted Gu Xiuxun’s hand away. After that, he couldn’t bear it and stretched his fist out.
Gu Xiuxun started. After that, she understood his intention. She also clenched her fist and gave him a fist bump.
“Let’s do it!”
Sun Mo looked at Gu Xiuxun. This should be friendship, right? The feeling was so good!
“Let’s work hard together!’
After Gu Xiuxun spoke, she silently added another sentence in her heart. “Thank you for giving me this chance!”
On the second last day before they moved out, Sun Mo finished repairing all the damaged spirit runes on Jiang Leng’s body.
Jiang Leng stood before the mirror and wept tears of joy as he looked at his skin that hadn’t recovered from the treatment.
He had never dared to imagine that there would be a day like this.
“Teacher, thank you!”
Jiang Leng knelt and prostrated himself before kowtowing.
“Rise!”
Sun Mo sat on the chair and panted heavily.
“Teacher, please have a sip of water!”
Li Ziqi passed a cup of water over and immediately stood behind Sun Mo, helping him to massage his shoulders.
Jiang Leng didn’t get up. His teacher was so busy, and the date of the 2-star great teacher examination was nearing. By right, he should be well-rested. However, he still went all out to treat him.
One must know every round of treatment took over ten hours, and it also caused Sun Mo to expend a large amount of spirit qi and energy.
When he saw how fatigued his teacher was, Jiang Leng didn’t know what to say.
He knew why Sun Mo was so anxious. This was because he was growing every day and the earlier he was completely treated, the lesser the damage caused by the damaged spirit runes would be.
“There’s no need to thank me. You are my personal student. I have the obligation to treat you!”
Sun Mo persuaded. “Just get up!”
“Teacher!”
Jiang Leng shed tears of gratitude.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jiang Leng +1,000. Respect (4,500/10,000).
“Oh right, do you want to remove the word ‘cripple’ on your forehead?”
Sun Mo asked.
“No need!”
Jiang Leng touched his forehead. He wanted to remember this humiliation. In the future, he would repay everything he had endured to the culprit.
Lu Changhe stood at the side; the shock on his face hadn’t faded yet. Throughout so many days, he had watched Sun Mo operating on Jiang Leng from the start until the end. The process was truly extremely brilliant.
His observation allowed his horizons to broaden greatly, letting him have a deeper understanding toward the study of spirit runes.
“Teacher is truly impressive!”
Lu Changhe hesitated, should he kneel and ask Sun Mo to take him on as a personal disciple?
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Lu Changhe +500. Respect (2,570/10,000).
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I want to go and rest for now!”
Sun Mo rose.
“Teacher…”
Jiang Leng spoke, making a decision.
