  Air Proof was one of the peak-level spiritual contracts and had a terrifying enslaving effect. It was extremely miraculous toward flying beasts.

  In the spiritual control world, it was publicly acknowledged that the most dangerous moment for spiritual controllers wasn’t when they were fighting in life-and-death combat. Rather, it was when they were setting up spiritual contracts.

  Because once this process failed, the spiritual controller would immediately suffer a backlash. They would be injured for light cases and might lose their lives if the backlash was heavy. Hence, if they didn’t have 90% confidence, it was very rare for the spiritual controller to proceed with a spiritual contract.

  However, after learning spiritual divine languages, there wouldn’t be such a problem. Not only would the success rate be high, but even if they failed, the spiritual controller wouldn’t be injured.

  The only problem was that the amount of mental energy and spirit qi being consumed was extremely huge.

  Despite having huge spirit qi reserves, which were several times more than his peers, Sun Mo felt immense fatigue now like he was squeezed dry.

  Pak!

  The red draconic human who was charging halfway suddenly halted and froze on the spot. It was like a lost lamb.

  “Eh? What’s the matter? The draconic human is no longer attacking?”

  The few great teachers who had tried the unlimited challenge mode before immediately frowned. The reaction of the red draconic human seemed unusual. Could it be that Sun Mo had done something?

  Murong Ye and Duanmu Li were both great teachers with high star-rank and had plenty of experiences in addition to having the best judgment. When they saw this, both of them furrowed their brows.

  (This Sun Mo does have some methods. Sadly, if you don’t know the ancient dragon language, you won’t be able to gain anything in this lifetime.)

  Roar!

  The red draconic human roared as though he was enraged. It then charged over even more ferociously.

  Sun Mo retreated, and the five fingers on his right hand flexed.

  Boom!

  Spirit qi gushed out and formed a half-transparent ball of light. At the instant the draconic human arrived three meters away from Sun Mo, Sun Mo tossed the ball of light out.

  Swish!

  The draconic human side-stepped easily with a flash. After that, it increased its speed and appeared before Sun Mo. It slashed out with its sharp claws, aiming for his head.

  But at this moment. The ball of light that missed the target earlier arced through the air and circled back, slamming into the back of the draconic human’s head.

  Bang!

  Sun Mo’s attack struck the target.

  The head of the draconic human exploded. The headless corpse continued moving forward due to inertia and Sun Mo aimed a kick at its chest.

  Bang!

  The draconic human shattered into motes of light.

  “.……”

  Everyone fell silent, leaving behind dumbfounded faces as everyone stared at Sun Mo.

  Strong!

  Very strong!

  Extremely strong!

  Those who could enter the Dragon Subduing Academy, be it the students or the teachers were all elites among elites. But at this moment, all of them felt a sense of defeat.

  They were psychologically impacted.

  Seeing Sun Mo, they had a helpless feeling like they wouldn’t be able to catch up to him even if they had an eternity.

  “It’s already the 33rd round, but he can still achieve an insta-kill. Simply incredible.”

  Meng Gang exclaimed in shock.

  “Qi, if I learn that saint-tier cultivation art of his, I can do the same too.”

  A male student spoke in an unconvinced tone and caused everyone to look at him with contempt.

  “Are you an idiot? Didn’t you see that even if Teacher Sun didn’t use his cultivation art, he could still explode the heads of the draconic humans with his wooden blade?”

  Qiu Li sarcastically mocked. After that, she started to ponder on how to have a better relationship with Sun Mo.

  (No, I have to bring a gift over and apologize again.)

  As the red draconic human died, the forcefield sealing the area ended. Sun Mo walked out.

  “Is he not fighting anymore?”

  Everyone was very disappointed.

  “It’s time for my lecture.”

  Sun Mo smiled.

  Actually, his spirit qi reserves were almost exhausted, but Sun Mo wouldn’t tell people about this. If not, how could he still look cool?

  As his words rang out, Sun Mo received a bunch of respectful looks and +3,100 favorable impression points.

  After all, great teachers should always put the studies of the students first, and Sun Mo perfectly grasped this point.

  “Teacher Sun, impressive!”

  Murong Ye came over and flashed a thumbs-up.

  “Headmaster praises me too much.”

  Sun Mo returned a smile out of politeness.

  “Are you free during noon? Maybe we can have a meal together?”

  After Murong Ye finished speaking, many great teachers revealed envious expressions.

  Even if they used their toenails to think, they could guess that this was a headhunting offer. If not, how could a busy vice headmaster have the time to eat a meal with an intern teacher?

  “Sure!”

  After Sun Mo handled Murong Ye, he returned to the Giant Dragon Great Hall and roared a few times.

  Sadly, he didn’t receive any response.

  “Could it be that I haven’t fought enough?”

  Sun Mo’s brows furrowed so tightly that they could squeeze a crab to death.

  According to the information he had collected earlier, if he went all out, he would at most be able to fight until the 50th round. Such a result probably wouldn’t cause the giant dragons to be satisfied.

  “This is a little difficult!”

  Sun Mo fretted. Because he wasn’t a great teacher of the Dragon Subduing Academy, he definitely had to leave after his examination ended. This also meant that he only had slightly over two months left.

  After spending 200,000 favorable impression points, he didn’t even manage to glance at the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. What a huge loss. ……

  Xiao Di rushed into the Draconic Human Great Hall in an energetic manner. When he saw a familiar face, he immediately grabbed hold of that person. “How many rounds has Teacher Sun fought?”

  “It’s already over!”

  Xiao Di’s expression immediately turned to one of disappointment and regret. After that, he rushed a few steps and peered at the trial area.

  As expected, there was no one there anymore.

  “Damn!”

  Xiao Di cursed loudly but had no way to vent his anger, so he could only smack his own face.

  (Why did I miss it again? It’s all my girlfriend’s fault! Why did she fall ill for no reason at all? In the end, for the sake of taking care of her, I missed out on watching Teacher Sun’s fights.)

  Xiao Di saw a few great teachers in the midst of a discussion, and he immediately headed over. “How many rounds did Teacher Sun fight?”

  “33.”

  “So little? Is it because he was injured that he chose to stop?”

  Xiao Di was surprised.

  “Nope, it is because he had to leave to conduct a lecture.”

  A few people looked at Xiao Di and corrected him. “Besides, 33 rounds are not considered little. You have to understand that in the unlimited challenge mode, the number of draconic humans you face each round is randomized. Today, there were over ten rounds where Teacher Sun had to face two or more draconic humans. You can say that this is much more difficult compared to the speed challenge.”

  “That ‘biubiubiu’ from Teacher Sun is truly impressive. The beams of light he fired could even automatically track targets.”

  “Yeah, if someone like me went up to fight him, I would be instantly one-shotted.”

  “What a pity, we have no idea what that cultivation art is named.”

  The few people here discussed fervently.

  The more Xiao Di listened, the itchier he felt in his heart. After that, he felt exceptionally angry. It was like on the night you wedded your bride, you discovered that not only your wife wasn’t pure and untainted, but she was someone extremely skilled and had slept around many times before.

  (No, I don’t want such a girlfriend.)

  Xiao Di decided to break up with his girlfriend. After that, for the next half a year, he would wake up early and come to the Dragon Subduing Palace to wait. Yes, he would also prepare enough image-recording stones so he wouldn’t miss out on capturing every scene of Teacher Sun. ……

  Sun Mo’s current spirit rune lecture was extremely popular throughout the entire Dragon Subduing Academy. Every day, let alone the fact that students had to head there two hours in advance to get a seat, even the number of great teachers among the audience also increased.

  If it wasn’t for the fact that some aged great teachers valued their faces too much, over 50 great teachers would be attending his lectures.

  This was a battle strategy that Sun Mo was using.

  (So what even if the number of people attending my lecture is off the charts?)

  (As the #1 ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Ranking, Jiang Ji still has his own capabilities. The number of people attending his lecture also increases steadily and when the examination ends, if there are no unexpected accidents, his classroom will be fully packed too.)

  In order to suppress these geniuses, Sun Mo purposely chose to lecture on high-end knowledge. This also meant that the content of his lectures was targeted at great teachers. Many students wouldn’t be able to understand it.

  Also, because they couldn’t understand, they would want to understand even more.

  One couldn’t help but say that this was the good point of good students. They would always be filled with a vigorous desire for new knowledge.

  After the lecture, Sun Mo resolved the doubts of a few students. He then headed to the library and only went to the room Murong Ye booked when afternoon arrived.

  “Teacher Sun, please feel free to take a seat.”

  Murong Ye arrived long ago. He smiled and was very polite; no one would be able to complain about his etiquette.

  One must know that Murong Ye wasn’t merely a vice headmaster here. He was also an 8-star great teacher. Given his status, there was basically no need for him to wait here in advance for Sun Mo.

  “Headmaster is too polite.”

  After exchanging a round of pleasantries, the two of them sat down.

  The food was soon served.

  “These honeyed bear paws are a specialty of our Dragon Subduing Academy. They are from male white bears on the snowy mountains who just entered hibernation. During this season, their meat quality is the fattest and best because they have feasted for an entire autumn.”

  Murong Ye introduced, “Come, try it!”

  “Headmaster is too courteous.”

  Sun Mo bowed slightly, expressing thanks.

  “Hehe, don’t look down at the fact that this place is only the school canteen. The chefs here are all invited by us using large amounts of money from the Central Plains, and the quality of the food here isn’t any lower compared to those famous shops and inns out there.”

  Murong Ye bragged like this because he was worried Sun Mo might feel that life on the grassy plains would be too destitute and bitter and would be unwilling to stay.

  To others, this was a chance to join one of the Nine Greats and they would be smiling even in their sleep. But for this man before his eyes……

  (The thing he doesn’t lack most are opportunities. He is someone at the near-ancestor level. Right, he also has God Hands……)

  Upon thinking of this, Murong Ye’s gaze turned to one of doting as he looked at Sun Mo.

  (I must turn him into someone from my camp.)

  After three rounds of food and five pourings of wine, Murong Ye coughed to clear his throat and entered the main topic.

  “Teacher Sun, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. I want to headhunt you!”

  Murong Ye’s tone was solemn. “As for the conditions, Teacher Sun, please feel free to raise anything you want.”

  Getting Sun Mo to give his conditions was something Murong Ye decided after he had thought deeply about this.

  He could tell that after the 3-star great teacher examination was over, Sun Mo would become such a dazzling target.

  At the very least, the throne of the #1 ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings was secured for him.

  According to the current performances of everyone, Murong Ye knew that Jiang Ji was extremely outstanding as well. But if he compared himself to Sun Mo, he was insignificant.

  Coming to take the examination at this timing was most probably the worst mistake Jiang Ji could make in his life. Not only could he not prove himself, but he even became a stepping stone.

  “Headmaster Murong, you should know my situation, right? I have no intentions to leave the Central Province Academy.”

  Sun Mo also didn’t want to put on a play.

  “Given your capabilities, you might become a vice headmaster here after tens of years. Why is there a need for you to ‘hang’ yourself in a ‘C’ grade famous school? As for the marriage engagement, you are still young and shouldn’t allow such a thing to bind you.”

  Murong Ye sincerely persuaded Sun Mo.

  Sun Mo laughed softly and drank a cup of tea.

  “Teacher Sun, you should understand how important and how great the help of a large platform to a person is. It’s too much of a waste of your talent if you stay in the Central Province Academy.”

  Murong Ye advised.

  “I’m someone from the Central Plains!”

  Sun Mo shrugged.

  Upon hearing this, Murong Ye’s brows furrowed. After that, he smacked the table fiercely, losing his temper.

  Chapter 848: Great Teacher’s Bearing, Respect for the Wise!

  Bang!

  The table shook from the impact of the bang, causing the soup in the pot to splash about.

  “Who dares view you with disdain? Tell me and I will fire all of them!”

  Murong Ye’s words were filled with killing intent.

  At the same time, it also showed his respect for Sun Mo and his desire to headhunt him at all costs.

  One must know that those who could enter a supreme-tier famous school had to spend huge amounts of energy and effort. If they were expelled, that would be a taint in their lifetime.

  It was still okay for the students. They could use the excuse that they were young and ignorant. But great teachers would never be able to find another school to accept them.

  This was another hidden rule of the great teacher circle.

  Someone that a supreme-tier school didn’t want. From this, one could very well imagine how great of a blemish it was with regard to that person’s reputation. Although some headmasters might covet their talent and choose to hire them, one mustn’t forget that there was a competition among colleagues. As long as someone exposed this fact, that person’s reputation would be destroyed forever.

  Who would be willing to take on a fired teacher as a personal teacher?

  One could say that Dark Dawn had many great teachers, but their teachers were all expelled ones and belonged to existences that had experienced ‘social deaths’.

  Sun Mo shook his head.

  Let alone racial discrimination, there were even several cases of area discrimination. No matter in which world, this was a world-level problem.

  “That is why I need Teacher Sun to help me.”

  Murong Ye stared at Sun Mo sincerely. “The talent of great teachers nurtures and educates the heroes of the next generations. We are like a lighthouse, pointing to the direction those heroes ought to advance in.

  “Don’t you feel that the status of great teachers is too low? Why are we below dukes, marquises, and children of nobility? How would they know how to govern a country and nurture their citizens? They are merely blood-suckers that crawl on top of the country’s body and its citizens.

  “Look at this world. How much hunger and how many disputes are there? How many people are frittering their time away? Being able to live healthily is a blessing, hence, I feel that human beings shouldn’t let ‘life’ down.

  “We as great teachers should educate these people and allow them to shine resplendently in their lives, akin to fireworks that are gorgeous and magnificent.”

  Murong Ye suddenly started an impromptu speech, causing Sun Mo to be stunned.

  “Teacher Sun, don’t you feel that this world should be under the governance of great teachers? Letting those fellows as stupid as pigs govern the world is undoubtedly equivalent to strangling the lives of everyone and throttling the future of the world. Teacher Sun, join my great teacher circle! Let us fight for this ideal!”

  Murong Ye had an agitated look on his face as he stretched out his right hand toward Sun Mo.

  This explanation by Murong Ye was quite logical.

  Those rulers, those kings who inherited their positions through the generations, even if they didn’t have fitting talent, they could still remain high-up and lofty because they ‘inherited’ their statuses and the bloodline.

  This was inexcusable. In this system, even if your son was a useless and incompetent fool, you had no choice but to hand your wealth down to him.

  However, the wealth of a clan belonged to the clan, but the wealth of a country belonged to everyone, to each citizen.

  “After the young hero kills the demon king, he becomes the new demon king. What if there really comes a day when you have achieved your ideal, and great teachers are the ones governing the world? How would you guarantee that the great teachers wouldn’t be corrupted by power and authority? Educating the people into ‘obedient sheeps’?”

  Sun Mo counter-asked.

  Murong Ye’s eyes brightened. (This question is tough. As expected of someone I regard highly.) Hence, Murong Ye’s expression turned solemn as he replied.

  “Implement supervision and control, splitting apart education, law enforcement, and legislation.”

  After hearing Murong Ye speaking frankly with assurance, Sun Mo was dumbfounded. He almost blurted out and asked, ‘Bro, are you also someone who traversed worlds?’

  (Your thinking is so ahead of the times!)

  “How about it?”

  After Murong Ye spoke, he stared at Sun Mo with excitement, wanting him to evaluate it.

  “The idea isn’t bad, but it’s too difficult to realize it.”

  Sun Mo bitterly smiled as he shook his head. In the modern era, he had seen too many laws. No matter how ‘perfect’ they were, as long as those executing the laws were humans, there would be loopholes.

  “Teacher Sun, you are so young, why are you so pessimistic?”

  Murong Ye frowned and felt a little unhappy. “Even if what we face at the end of the journey is a failure, we should still take this path. Only then would later generations need not waste time on mistakes and could continue searching for the correct path.”

  “We, great teachers, should be pioneers for the future.”

  Bzz!

  A golden light illuminated the area.

  Priceless Advice was activated.

  The golden glow shone on Sun Mo’s face. One couldn’t help but admit that Murong Ye’s ambitions were vast and lofty, and he was very eloquent as well.

  “Compared to you, my ideal is really somewhat insignificant.”

  Sun Mo had a self-mocking smile. “However, I know my own limits. I only want to let the Central Province Academy become a good school and allow students to understand the world. I dream that they can find their true dreams and work hard for them, becoming people who wouldn’t waste their lives away.

  “Headmaster Murong, I approve of your words. It’s truly very fortunate for people to be able to be born, and each person is also unique. Hence, my ideal is simply to let all my students be able to lead a fascinating life.”

  Under Sun Mo’s gentle voice, a golden light also emitted from him.

  Priceless Advice was activated.

  Sun Mo was also free of guilt and had a clear conscience. As a young man, he hadn’t reached the point where he was ‘chewed’ to death by the ‘old dog’ which was society. His hot blood hadn’t cooled yet.

  (Changing this world?)

  (It’s too difficult!)

  (I think I better start by changing a student’s life!)

  When he thought of Li Ziqi who tried to commit suicide by jumping into a lake after being rejected by a secondary saint, the silly Lu Zhiruo who continued cultivating assiduously and believed that she would be able to become someone her father would view in a good light, or Helian Beifang who had traveled to the Central Plains alone, handing his future to him……

  Sun Mo felt that in the two years since he arrived in this world, life had been substantial and meaningful.

  “.……”

  Murong Ye felt Sun Mo’s will from Priceless Advice and fell silent.

  State an offer?

  Don’t joke, even if he offered a heavenly price, it would be an insult to Sun Mo.

  Great Teachers had large dreams akin to Mount. Tai or the great ocean. How could something like money or treasures shake their will?

  “Headmaster Murong, I enjoyed this meal very much. I also feel very honored to be able to know a great teacher like you with such grand aspirations.”

  Sun Mo rose and gave a slight bow.

  “I still have lectures this afternoon, so I will take my leave first.”

  He had rejected him. If he continued staying, things would be awkward. Hence, it was better for him to take his leave.

  Just when Sun Mo walked out of the room and moved a few steps away, the sound of the notification rang out in his ears.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Murong Ye +1,000. Respect (1,350/10,000).

  Sun Mo suddenly smiled. Murong Ye truly had a great teacher’s bearing. As expected of someone capable enough to become a vice headmaster of the Dragon Subduing Academy. ……

  In the room next door, Duanmu Li held a wine flask and was drinking alone. He had guessed that Sun Mo would reject it, but he didn’t manage to guess at Sun Mo’s reason.

  It was truly unique.

  It was lucky because the great teacher world had people like Sun Mo, or it would be too boring.

  Hence, Sun Mo had better not die too young!

  Si!

  Duanmu Li drank a mouthful of wine and frowned. Sun Mo had deciphered the Battlegod Canyon and obtained the Battlegod Catalog. In that case, if he learned the ancient dragon language, he might really be able to comprehend the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture.

  However, since he had rejected Murong Ye, it meant that he no longer had an opportunity to learn the ancient dragon language. ……

  Murong Ye was still conflicted as he finished drinking a pot of wine.

  He admired Sun Mo and wanted to teach him the ancient dragon language. But doing so would be breaking the school rules.

  (Difficult!)

  Murong Ye sighed and stood up. He then walked to the window and wanted to look at the scenery to ease his emotions. Yet, he actually saw Sun Mo and Xianyu Wei.

  This girl who was still very fat half a month ago had lost quite a bit of weight. Following Sun Mo, she was constantly jotting down Sun Mo’s words in her notebook. She would also occasionally nod and seriously listen to Sun Mo’s words.

  This scene directly caused Murong Ye to break out into loud laughter.

  “Haha, earlier I still said that I wanted great teachers to govern the world and be lighthouses that pointed the way for people to grow. But because of the school rules, I refused to teach the dragon language to Sun Mo. I’m truly slapping my own face.”

  Murong Ye, who had thought things through, left the dining area directly to chase after Sun Mo.

  On the way leading to the library……

  “Teacher, is the vice headmaster formally employing you since he’s treating you to a meal?”

  Xianyu Wei felt very happy. If that was the case, she would be able to keep following Sun Mo and learn from him.

  During these few days, she had been eating her meals with Sun Mo. But today, she felt embarrassed to enter the room Murong Ye booked, hence, she missed out on a meal.

  “Cultivate hard, don’t be concerned about all of this.”

  Sun Mo changed the topic.

  “Teacher, I know even if you don’t tell me. You will surely be able to stay behind unless the various headmasters are blind.”

  After Xianyu Wei finished speaking, she hesitated.

  “What’s wrong?”

  Sun Mo asked.

  “Teacher, I know you are someone from the Central Plains and there would surely be people viewing you with hostility. But I feel that with your capabilities, you will definitely be able to establish your might in this place. So, can you please not leave?”

  Xianyu Wei sincerely pleaded.

  From the view of this fat girl, given Sun Mo’s talent, he would definitely be able to get employed if he went to the other Nine Greats. But what about her then?

  Leaving the grassy plains?

  Xianyu Wei had never thought of this possibility before.

  “Xianyu, humans would always have to face the unknown future. Don’t be afraid……”

  Before Sun Mo could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

  “Teacher Sun, please wait!”

  Murong Ye hurried over.

  “Vice headmaster!”

  Xianyu Wei hurriedly rose to greet him.

  “This is for you!”

  Murong Ye passed a book to Sun Mo.

  “What is this?”

  Sun Mo held it casually.

  “Ancient dragon language. Without it, you won’t be able to communicate with the souls of ancient giant dragons.”

  Murong Ye explained.

  He didn’t get Xianyu Wei to go to the side because this was not something that needed to be kept a secret. Since he wanted to do so, he should do it openly. Even if bad consequences came about, he would accept them and not feel regret.

  “What?”

  When Xianyu Wei heard the words, she was stunned. Her eyes widened and she glanced at that book.

  Her heart pounded rapidly, so agitated that she felt like she was about to die.

  (As expected, my teacher is so outstanding!)

  (He actually managed to make Headmaster Murong take out such valuable knowledge to give to him!)

  Chapter 849: Sun Mo, You Shouldn’t Have Come to the Dragon Subduing Academy!

  Sun Mo’s hands, which were holding the book, froze as he stared at Murong Ye in astonishment.

  (I know you contributed quite a lot of favorable impression points and also appreciate me a lot. But I didn’t think you would be so generous.)

  In the Dragon Subduing Academy, there was a rule. Regardless of students or teachers, even if they had passed the trial and gained access to the Giant Dragon Great Hall, they had to be observed for three years, and the headmasters would only bestow the ancient dragon language to them should they have proven their loyalty.

  There was even another hidden rule. If you were not a barbarian, no matter how outstanding your performance was, you wouldn’t get to learn this language.

  Sun Mo didn’t know these secrets, but when he heard the words ‘dragon language’, he also knew how valuable this book in Murong Ye’s hands was.

  “Many thanks for headmaster Murong’s good intention, but I cannot accept this!”

  Sun Mo returned the book.

  The cold wind of winter was somewhat cold, but Sun Mo’s heart was filled with warmth.

  “I’ve always felt that knowledge is alive. If they landed in the hands of those who could make them glow brilliantly, they (the knowledge) would feel happy and lucky.”

  Murong Ye advised.

  “Teacher……”

  Xianyu Wei wanted to persuade him. (This is the chance to learn the dragon language, why don’t you want it? If I was in your shoes, I would already start to flip through the book impatiently.)

  “It’s impossible for me to stay in this school.”

  Sun Mo made things clear.

  When Xianyu Wei heard this, she started and blurted out, “Why?”

  Sun Mo didn’t explain.

  As for Murong Ye, he didn’t need Sun Mo to explain. “You’ve misunderstood me. I’m not using this as a bargaining chip to make you stay behind. I’m doing this purely because I admire you.”

  Sun Mo’s Priceless Advice was truly too well-spoken, and although Murong Ye didn’t completely agree, he approved of Sun Mo.

  “Sorry, I still can’t accept it!”

  Sun Mo rejected. After clasping his hands, he turned and left.

  He was an upright person who knew the value of gratitude. Although Murong Ye didn’t want anything, Sun Mo couldn’t get past the feeling in his heart. He would feel that he owed Murong Ye an immense favor.

  Sun Mo would rather spend favorable impression points to purchase the ancient dragon language instead of getting it free as a gift.

  Besides, Sun Mo had learned it.

  “I’ve already spent 200,000 favorable impression points, so it ought to be of use, right?”

  If not, this feeling would make him feel foolish like a spendthrift.

  “Teacher, wait for me!”

  Xianyu Wei chased after him with shock on her plumb face. It could be considered that she had witnessed what was called a great teacher’s bearing today.

  One dared to give such a valuable gift, the other dared to not accept it. What an amazing combination.

  Murong Ye stared at Sun Mo’s departing back and sank into contemplation.

  The holly in the campus was as verdant as ever.

  An hour later, Murong Ye made his decision.

  In the library, Murong Mingyue sat on a wooden chair and was reading a book. Her demeanor was gentle and refined.

  “Mingyue!”

  Murong Ye called.

  Murong Mingyue’s fingers trembled. She then stood up and bowed slightly as she greeted, “Uncle!”

  “Mn!”

  Murong Ye sat down. “Are you acquainted with this person named Sun Mo?”

  Murong Mingyue shook her head.

  “His expertise in the study of spirit runes is extremely impressive, and he just broke the speed-clearing record and has his images engraved on the walls in the Draconic Human Great Hall.”

  Murong Ye explained.

  Murong Mingyue wasn’t shocked. She sat there with a calm look akin to the bright moon reflected in the lake. There were no ripples in her expression.

  She liked the quietness. Hence, she would always be alone when it came to eating or reading. But because Sun Mo’s popularity was truly too high and there would be people discussing him everywhere she went, she had heard about his feats.

  “I admire Sun Mo and want him to join my great teacher circle, but he rejected me. Mingyue, uncle can only depend on you now. Please help me to persuade him.”

  Murong Ye instructed.

  Murong Mingyue didn’t want to go, but Murong Ye didn’t give her the chance to reject. After he finished speaking, he stood up and left.

  “How long should I live this way?”

  Murong Mingyue’s beautiful brows furrowed. She recalled that Sun Mo wanted to headhunt her to the Central Province Academy. He had even betted with her that the peach trees would be able to bloom again.

  “Sun Mo, you shouldn’t have come to the Dragon Subduing Academy!”

  Murong Mingyue nodded and her gaze fell back to the pages. However, her mind had wandered away. ……

  After finishing his botany lecture in the afternoon, Sun Mo did things according to his usual habit. He first gave Xianyu Wei a massage, and then he sparred against her and explained to her about her strong points as well as flaws through practical combat.

  “Teacher, I feel that I am skinnier by a lot now.”

  Xianyu Wei pinched her stomach skin. She had lost quite a lot of excess flesh and was very happy. However, she was a little puzzled. “But I have eaten quite a lot recently. Why is this the case?”

  Moreover, her training load wasn’t more than when she had followed Song En`min. After all, Song En`min also wanted her to slim down.

  “Because of the massages and the Dharma Skyshock Fist.”

  Sun Mo explained.

  “In the past, you cultivated for six hours every day. It looks a lot, but because your cultivation art is too weak, it has no way to digest the excess energy in your body.”

  The Dharma Skyshock Fist was a buddhist-style fist art, a cultivation art passed down by martial monks.

  What was a martial monk?

  They were fighters raised by the temple. Other than cultivating every day, they would be out collecting alms or challenging other temples to raise their reputations.

  Sun Mo did his research. When this cultivation art was practiced to the limits, one would be able to become an extremely burly and muscular guy. This was why he stopped using it recently.

  After all, Sun Mo’s goal was to be an elegant young man, walking the path of a graceful scholar.

  Scholars were handsome and refined. He would be able to attract girls like Nie Xiaoqian if he was a ghost, and he would be able to attract girls from rich families if he was a human, making maids fall in love with him. If he was even more impressive, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to marry a princess.

  What charisma did muscle guys have?

  Only the female boss of coolies would like them.

  Shifting bricks during the day and pleasuring the lady boss at night. Working two jobs for one salary. Perfect.

  If the lady boss was more beautiful, things would be perfect. He might even choose to forego his salary.

  “Teacher!”

  Xianyu Wei knelt. She had nothing to repay him and could only kowtow.

  “Stand up. As long as you cultivate well and can display your brilliance in the Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony, that would be my best reward.”

  Sun Mo smiled. “Go, fight another round.” ……

  On the next morning, Sun Mo headed to the Dragon Subduing Palace after washing up.

  “Teacher Sun is here!”

  As Sun Mo arrived at the teleportation formation, the students waiting at the surroundings immediately stood up and bowed at him from afar.

  In a famous school, some great teachers were skilled in both learning and combat. Their popularity would always be the highest.

  “A matter like cultivation cannot be rushed. Students at the Spirit-refinement Realm and below shouldn’t come here to partake in the liveliness as you guys wouldn’t be able to understand even if you watched.”

  Sun Mo persuaded.

  “Teacher, but many people said that watching would also be able to expand our horizons?”

  A student asked.

  “It’s different. For example, if I fought against a draconic human, given the current cultivation realm and experience you guys have, you all basically wouldn’t be able to understand what’s happening. Moreover, what’s most terrifying is that you guys might even be influenced by me and try to imitate me.”

  Sun Mo stopped and looked at the youth that was asking the question.

  “What does the phrase ‘expand your horizons’ mean? It isn’t the same as you understanding pigs because you’ve seen pigs being slaughtered and you have eaten pork before. Rather, it’s to take what you see and integrate it into your own style, transforming the meaning you derived from your vision into your own nutrients to grow your knowledge and experience. Otherwise, you might only know a smattering of knowledge and would make mistakes in judgment.

  “Do you guys know the idiom making an overall judgment on something based on a one-sided view point, like how a blind man touches an elephant?”

  Sun Mo asked with a smile.

  Everyone nodded. This was a classic story known to everyone in the Nine Provinces.

  “At your current age, you don’t need to expand your horizons. You only need to cultivate assiduously and find out what you are most proficient in, knowing your own strong points and flaws. After that, you can ‘expand your horizons’, and try to gain more knowledge to further enhance your strengths.”

  Sun Mo’s cultivation arts were too powerful. His combat style was gorgeous as well and would surely cause the students to feel greatly interested. If they tried to imitate him, it would really be bad.

  The students pondered and some revealed expressions of enlightenment. These students then bowed to him.

  “We have benefitted from your teaching!”

  Ding!

  Congratulations on obtaining a total of +1,893 favorable impression points. ……

  When Sun Mo entered the Draconic Human Great Hall, the four great teachers currently in the four areas immediately paused their combat and walked out in unison.

  “Teacher Sun, please feel free to use the area!”

  “No hurry, you guys should finish your fights first.”

  Sun Mo smiled.

  “Teacher Sun has already arrived, so there’s no need for us to continue showing our lousy skill and embarrass ourselves. It’s better for you to take over!”

  The four great teachers modestly declined.

  Honestly speaking, if they fought the draconic humans together with Sun Mo, the audience would surely compare them. If their performance was bad, things would be embarrassing.

  “Teacher Sun, don’t be so modest and decline anymore.”

  The great teachers here who were bored immediately gathered over. They were waiting here precisely for this, waiting for Sun Mo to try the unlimited challenge mode.

  “Alright, I won’t be polite then.”

  Sun Mo clasped his fists. He went down after thanking them.

  After slicing his palm, fresh blood flowed and the draconic humans started spawning as the challenge started.

  “Heavenly deities above, I’ve waited for this.”

  Xiao Di was grinning happily.

  As expected, breaking up with his girlfriend was the correct choice. Without her, his life was much more relaxed. At the very least, he didn’t need to show his care and concern for her every day.

  (Not being a simp feels so joyful!)

  The goal of the unlimited challenge mode was for the challenger to clear as many stages as possible. Hence, Sun Mo immediately went all out when he started, aiming to clear 50 rounds.

  Very soon, more and more people entered the great hall. And the place was fully packed even before 30 minutes was up.

  “Which round is it?”

  “The 12th round already.”

  Xiao Ri`nan who hurried over immediately felt depressed when he heard this. “I thought Teacher Sun just tried this mode yesterday? Why is he here again today?”

  “Is Teacher Sun a man made of iron? Does he not need to rest?”

  “Shh, can you not speak?”

  The entire great hall fell completely silent as everyone focused on watching Sun Mo. When someone occasionally made a sound, they would be reproached.

  Some of the great teachers here were astonished at how high Sun Mo’s influence was when they watched from the corners.

  Time flowed by.

  At the 42nd round, after killing the red draconic human, Sun Mo took out his pocket watch and looked.

  It was almost time for his lecture, but it wasn’t easy to fight until this point and Sun Mo didn’t feel like giving up. If not, he had to fight again tomorrow.

  “Teacher Sun, please continue to fight with no worries. I will arrange for someone to inform the students that you apply for leave today.”

  Murong Ye spoke out.

  Although he knew Sun Mo was doing this for nothing, he also wished to watch Sun Mo in combat because it was too gorgeous and beautiful. His cultivation arts were exquisite to the extreme.

  Jiang Ji was also within the crowd. When he saw a vice headmaster treating Sun Mo so preferentially, it caused him to feel extremely jealous.

  This year, he most probably would become Sun Mo’s stepping stone.

  (Hmph, I will challenge this after he is done.)

  “Many thanks to headmaster Murong then.”

  Sun Mo clasped his fists and took a deep breath. He waited for the next draconic human to spawn, but when the next ball of light descended on the ground, the thing being summoned was an ancient giant dragon instead.

  Roar!

  Dragon roars shook the sky.

  Everyone covered their ears and had a hint of shock in their eyes because this was the first time they saw a giant dragon. As for Sun Mo, his spirits stirred because he could understand the meaning of the dragon roars.

  Chapter 850: Fighting a Giant Dragon, a Commotion Shaking the Entire School!

  The teaching building was extremely chaotic now. Many students were running around.

  “Did something happen?”

  Someone asked.

  “Quickly go and take a look. Teacher Sun is challenging the unlimited challenge mode again. If we miss out on it, we might not be able to see it again.”

  The students who heard this couldn’t even be bothered to keep their books and immediately sprinted toward the Dragon Subduing palace.

  “Helian, I still have a presumptuous request!”

  “Tuoba, help me teach a class. I will pay you ten spirit stones.”

  The two dorm mates of Sun Mo ate breakfast together and came here. After knowing the reason for the commotion, they glanced at each other and spoke out at the same time.

  “Helian, I will pay 15 spirit stones.”

  Tuoba gritted his teeth and gave a sky-high price.

  “Do you think I’m someone that lacks spirit stones?”

  Helian Xie chortled. “Normally, I will help you even if you don’t pay any spirit stones. But this time around, I’m sorry.”

  “I will pay 20!”

  Tuoba Cao increased the price.

  A fellow with triangular eyes passed them by. When he heard their words, he couldn’t help but laugh. “20 spirit stones? How badly are you looking down on Teacher Sun?”

  “Tell me how much you want then?”

  Tuoba Cao felt that he was being looked down upon and grew angry.

  “I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you!”

  The person with triangular eyes didn’t reply and continued on his way. But behind him, a great teacher with a big head rushed out of the classroom and shouted loudly.

  “100 spirit stones and pay me the latest by tonight or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

  The big-headed guy was teaching a class on behalf of the triangular eyes. He involuntarily shook his head.

  “What a fool. We can watch Sun Mo’s fight any time we want to, so why does he have to be so anxious? 100 spirit stones can be used in exchange for plenty of good medicine.”

  The big-headed guy couldn’t understand.

  Tuoba Cao and Helian Xue exchanged glances and sighed. “Forget it, we can only pretend we are sick and skip a class.”

  Doing this would hurt their popularity, but there was no solution to this. Who asked Sun Mo to break the speed-clearing record?

  He had just tried the unlimited challenge mode yesterday, but he came by again today. His energy consumption would surely be very great. Hence, it was unknown when he would try the unlimited challenge mode again.

  Tuoba Cao and Helian Xue didn’t wish to miss any of Sun Mo’s battles.

  The two of them bade their farewell at the staircases because their classrooms were respectively on the third floor and the second floor.

  Helian Xue clutched his stomach and revealed an unbearable expression, but the moment he entered the classroom, he was stunned. There wasn’t a single student in sight.

  “What the hell?”

  Helian Xue started. Although he didn’t have many students, he had been here for a year and he could guarantee that there would be at least 30 students for each of his lectures.

  But now, the scene was extremely eye-piercing.

  After that, Helian Xue came to a realization. There was an 80% chance that the students went to watch Sun Mo fighting the draconic humans.

  “Damn!”

  Although there was now no need to feign sickness to apply leave and risk having his popularity declining, Helian Xue suddenly felt intense envy.

  “I want to see how strong the three-heads and six-arms form of yours is!”

  Helian Xue rushed out of the stone castle and saw Tuoba Cao already in front of him. Hence, he caught up to Tuoba Cao. “Why are you so fast?”

  “If you don’t ask this question, we are still good friends.”

  Tuoba Cao rolled his eyes and felt incomparably depressed.

  “Hehe!”

  Helian Xue was happy now. There was no need to ask. They were brothers on the same boat. ……

  “Defeat me and prove your value!”

  The giant dragon roared. After that, it opened its huge maw and aimed at Sun Mo.

  Pu! Pu! Pu!

  Coconut-sized spirit qi balls erupted forth.

  Sun Mo hurriedly dodged.

  When the balls of light hit the ground and the walls, they directly exploded, causing fragments of shattered stones and clouds of dust to fly everywhere.

  “There’s finally a reaction!”

  Sun Mo was extremely excited. He lifted his hand and directly cast Freedom Proof.

  His earlier conjecture was wrong. Even if this giant dragon was summoned out, because it came from the Dragon Subduing Palace, it should be something ‘belonging’ to the founder.

  So, it was definitely useless if he cast Air Proof. In that case, he should use Freedom Proof first to remove the contract before enslaving it.

  Naturally, even if this was useless, it could also be a method used to disrupt the enemies.

  Roar!

  The giant dragon that suffered a blow from Freedom Proof suddenly shone with a layer of golden light. After that, it roared at Sun Mo.

  Roar!

  A silver-colored soundwave was gushing toward Sun Mo.

  Boom!

  The air was being squeezed and sonic booms manifested.

  Sun Mo executed the Wind King Divine Step and dodged it once more before tossing out Air Proof this time around. At the same time, he roared in a low voice and tried to communicate.

  “I have no malicious intentions. I’m only curious about the giant dragon and want to become friends with you.”

  These words were half real and half fake.

  Real because Sun Mo didn’t covet the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture from it. After all, if he really wanted this cultivation art, he could just find an opportunity to spar against someone who knew it. He would be able to use Immemorial Vairocana to learn it.

  Fake because Sun Mo was really greedy to own a giant dragon.

  As long as he could capture it and make it into a battle pet, that would be awesome.

  The giant dragon didn’t respond. It flapped its wings instead.

  Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~

  Several tens of sharp arrows formed from spirit qi pierced toward Sun Mo.

  “I……is this an ancient giant dragon?”

  “How tyrannical and imposing!”

  “Our great Dragon Subduing Academy will last through the ages and is invincible in the Nine Provinces!”

  The students sighed with emotions. In the end, everyone started cheering, feeling that it was extremely glorious. After all, this giant dragon was something belonging to their school.

  When they thought about the school’s name again, ‘Dragon Subduing’, the meaning was deep and tyrannical.

  Being careful, Sun Mo didn’t dare to engage in close combat. Instead, he executed the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art and fired torrents at it.

  “My heavens, this giant dragon is so mighty!”

  The more Sun Mo looked, the more he liked it.

  It had a body that was 12 meters long, its contours were clearly defined, and its body was filled with black scales that shone glossily.

  Back then, Sun Mo wanted to buy a luxurious car of such color the most. No one would be able to shift their eyes away after taking a single glance at it.

  (No way, I definitely have to get a giant dragon as a mount.)

  (Although Little Silver is not bad, it’s too weak-looking and is more suitable for girls to sit on. As a man, I want a dragon.)

  Sun Mo pulled out Evil Vanquisher and charged over.

  This time around, for the sake of challenging more rounds, he didn’t use his wooden blade.

  Grand Universe Formless Divine Art!

  Dharma Skyshock Fist!

  Heavenly Sword Art!

  Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique! ……

  In fact, he even used the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody. All the cultivation arts Sun Mo had learned flowed naturally, their attacks blasting onto the giant dragon.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Spirit qi surged as explosions rang out non-stop.

  The teachers and students in the Draconic Human Great Hall were all stunned.

  “I……is this Teacher Sun’s ‘complete form’?”

  Xiao Ri`nan was dumbfounded and suddenly felt regret. Back then when Sun Mo had reminded him, he hadn’t given a damn about Sun Mo or chatted with him properly. No, not chat with him, but consult him.

  A great teacher with such powerful combat strength……His opinion definitely wasn’t something casual. Xiao Ri`nan felt he had better consider Sun Mo’s advice seriously.

  (Why don’t I try learning the art of spiritual control?)

  Xiao Ri`nan decided that after he returned later, he would head to the library to browse through books with related content.

  “Haha, the 100 spirit stones I spent were not in vain!”

  The triangular eyes felt extremely happy like he had picked up a huge benefit.

  Tuoba Cao and Helian Xue had shocked looks on their faces. (So, our new dorm mate is so strong? Luckily, we didn’t offend him, or we would surely be crushed.)

  Wanyan Mei took the image-recording stone and clapped happily

  (I’ve profited! I’ve profited!)

  Duanmu Li’s eyes narrowed. This fight was interesting.

  Chapter 851: I Also Feel Helpless to Be Born as a Human Yet Being so Outstanding!

  The teachers and students from the Dragon Subduing Academy had seen too many draconic humans. There were normal ones with strength or agility specialties; abnormal ones that could conceal themselves or spurt poison……

  Through the many years, the school had gathered a lot of data on draconic humans. However, no one had ever seen a giant dragon like this before.

  Of course, as the most powerful and mysterious building in the Dragon Subduing Academy, other than the founder who built it, no one else understood it completely.

  The giant dragon had extremely great attacking prowess. Even a simple swing of its sharp claws would be able to crush Sun Mo upon contact.

  However, its size was too gigantic so its agility was weaker. Sun Mo made use of this and kept on moving around in flashes with the Wind King Divine Steps and throwing out his ultimate techniques onto it.

  These were all peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts that could deal serious injuries if not death onto a person. However, to the giant dragon, they were like insignificant light scratches.

  “Too fast! He’s simply too fast!”

  Many students gasped in surprise because the Sun Mo that they saw was just an after-image.

  “This is because it’s Sun Mo. If it was someone else, they wouldn’t be able to break through the giant dragon’s defenses even if they weren’t killed by it.”

  Xiao Di was extremely dejected.

  The Great Solar Evil Destroying Art he cultivated emphasized on strong attacks and possessed a destructive prowess that could break through everything. However, it was nothing when compared to Sun Mo.

  Saint-tier?

  (Sigh, my saint-tier cultivation art feels like a fake.)

  Swoosh!

  Sword qi gushed out, slashing onto the giant dragon’s eyes. Thereafter, a tall and big ancient Buddha figure appeared behind Sun Mo, slapping out its palm incessantly.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The giant dragon was like a fly being slapped down onto the floor. Dust flew everywhere and the entire hall was trembling.

  Roar!

  The giant dragon bellowed, baring its big mouth furiously. It aimed for the Buddha figure and shot out spirit qi bullets.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The Buddha figure was shattered.

  Amidst the dust, the giant dragon caught Sun Mo’s figure. But suddenly, white light appeared in the dim hall, landing onto the giant dragon’s neck like a sudden and unexpected bolt of lightning.

  A sword breaking the sky, Heaven Rend!

  Swoosh!

  The giant dragon’s neck that was so thick it would take three people to hug was chopped off.

  Knock!

  The dragon head smashed onto the ground. Then, it, together with its corpse, shattered into a big stretch of light spots that scattered in the entire hall.

  Hu! Hu!

  Sun Mo half-knelt on the ground, panting heavily while staring at the crystal ball under the ceiling warily. He was worried that it’d summon another giant dragon again.

  If that were to happen, Sun Mo would definitely run as fast as he could. It was because all the spirit qi in his body had dried up.

  With the giant dragon’s death, a tremendous amount of spirit qi scattered into the air like tidal waves.

  Many students of a low cultivation base immediately showed signs of spirit intoxication.

  When the light spots landed on the skin of an elderly man, he sensed the energy contained within them and became invigorated. He immediately sat down cross-legged and started meditating to absorb the spirit qi.

  “Teacher Qiyan!”

  Murong Ye looked over and couldn’t help but reproach.

  By right, since Sun Mo was the one who had killed the giant dragon, the spirit qi belonged to him.

  “Vice-headmaster Murong, not only are there a lot of spirit qi, but they also dissipate very fast. There’s no way that Teacher Sun will be able to absorb all of them. Rather than wasting them, it’s better to let me ‘pick’ some.”

  Qiyan Gao was a 6-star great teacher and a grandmaster-level alchemist. He had long seniority in this famous school after working for 30 years. Hence, there was no way he would care about Murong Ye’s words.

  “You should still ask Teacher Sun first.”

  Murong Ye insisted.

  Qiyan Gao shut his eyes and couldn’t be bothered with Murong Ye. He had learned the ancient dragon language for many years but hadn’t been able to completely understand the meaning behind the dragon roars.

  Today, with this giant dragon’s death, these light spots contained some knowledge and they entered his mind as well. This was why Qiyan Gao acted so ungraciously.

  Sun Mo didn’t care about those light spots. He didn’t have enough spirit qi for another round of battle anyway, so he ended the challenge and went to the Giant Dragon Great Hall.

  “Dragon God, I’ve killed the giant dragon as per your instructions and proved my worth. Do you have any other commands?”

  Sun Mo spoke with a respectful tone.

  “Do you dare to be even more of a bootlicker?”

  The system teased.

  This host was really a great schemer to address the other party as the Dragon God. It was clear-cut flattery.

  The other party didn’t reply.

  “Dragon God? If there’s something that I haven’t done well enough, please feel free to let me know!”

  Sun Mo put on his most amicable smile.

  However, there was still no reply.

  Sun Mo fell silent and furrowed his brows until they could almost clamp a crab to death.

  “Why have you stopped addressing me as the Dragon God?”

  A low roar rang out, “Human, if you can talk well, then talk more.”

  “.……”

  Sun Mo really felt like cursing. (Do you really think that I’m the Chief Eunuch who is good at flattery? If you dare to say another word, do you believe that I’ll tear down your old nest?)

  “It has been many years since I’ve met a human who can speak as well as you do. I’ve decided to impart you with an ultimate art.”

  Dragon roars rang out.

  “Dragon God, I was only speaking the truth. Once you appear in the nine provinces, you’ll definitely be the lord over all beasts, no, over all lifeforms.”

  Sun Mo thought to himself that the [Art of Language] hadn’t been a waste.

  His words seemed to agitate the ancient giant dragon, and it suddenly let out a world-shaking bellow that rang through the entire hall. It felt as if one’s eardrums were going to burst.

  “Do you have any commands? I’ll do my best to do them for you!”

  Sun Mo was testing.

  If he knew of the giant dragon’s request, he’d be able to raise his own conditions.

  “Where did you learn the Freedom Proof?”

  The giant dragon felt curious.

  “Enlightenment.”

  After Sun Mo said that, he was mocked.

  “Do you think that I’m a fool?” The giant dragon laughed coldly. “Bring the person who imparted to you this divine language of spiritual control. After you do that, I’ll reward you.”

  “I really did gain enlightenment about it by myself.”

  Sun Mo shrugged. “Sigh, I also feel helpless to be born as a human yet being so outstanding!”

  “.……”

  The giant dragon thought to itself. (Thankfully I don’t have a physical body. Otherwise, I’ll definitely spit thick phlegm all over your face. I’ve seen shameless people before, but none as shameless as you.)

  “I don’t wish to speak crap with you. Bring that great ancestor-level spirit controller here.”

  The giant dragon instructed.

  “Where am I going to find you a great ancestor-level spirit controller?”

  Sun Mo appeared troubled.

  “.……”

  The giant dragon fell silent.

  “Let’s analyze this logically. Since you know of Freedom Proof, then you should know the value of this divine language of spiritual control.”

  Sun Mo went on. “If a great ancestor-level spirit controller can impart me with such a precious divine language, then it shows that our relationship is very close. Since there’s a chance to communicate with an ancient giant dragon, do you think that I’ll hide it from him?

  “After all, since he can teach me the divine language, then he’ll also teach me after he has acquired your knowledge. Isn’t that right?”

  “Did you really gain enlightenment about it by yourself?”

  The giant dragon was surprised. It was primarily because gaining enlightenment by oneself was like a miracle. How could that be possible?

  Sun Mo put his hands out, wearing an expression as if saying that there was nothing he could do even if the dragon didn’t believe him.

  “You really gained enlightenment by yourself?” The dragon still didn’t really believe it. “Are you a grandmaster-level spirit controller?”

  “En!”

  Sun Mo nodded. It was true that he was at that level. “But I excel more in the study of spirit runes. I also have a high level of mastery in massage.”

  “.……”

  The giant dragon fell silent for a while, clearly hesitating. However, it eventually gave a disappointing decision. “Human, go back. You’re too weak and won’t be able to help me.”

  “How would you know if you don’t give it a try? Hey, don’t give up!”

  Sun Mo started to panic upon seeing that the chance that was placed before him was starting to slip away. However, no matter how he tried to persuade the giant dragon, it stopped replying to him.

  Murong Ye entered after Sun Mo and watched him quietly.

  He was wearing a solemn expression.

  “Sun Mo couldn’t be communicating with an ancient giant dragon, could he? No, that’s impossible. He doesn’t know the dragon language.”

  Sun Mo let out bellows and modulation, clearly using some kind of communicating means. However, Murong Ye couldn’t understand them. It was because the ancient dragon language they used had been taught to them by the giant dragon.

  It was a branch of the dragon language, akin to a local dialect.

  What Sun Mo used was the dragon tribe’s common language that could be used to communicate with giant dragons of any type. It could be said that the 200,000 favorable impression points that Sun Mo had spent were well beyond its value.

  “It seems that this Teacher Sun is a lot more learned than I expected. To think that he even knows the ancient dragon language?”

  Duanmu Li crossed his arms in front of his chest, assessing Sun Mo with a judgmental gaze that had a hint of strangeness amidst the admiration.

  Sun Mo didn’t want to miss out on this encounter and was about to continue trying when an agonizing bellow and crying suddenly rang out from outside.

  “What’s going on?”

  Sun Mo turned back and saw a great teacher charging in, shouting loudly while wearing an anxious expression.

  “Mur…… Murder.”

  Murong Ye and Duanmu Li’s countenances changed, and they dashed out at the first instant.

  Sun Mo didn’t dare to tarry around either because there were many students outside. If anything were to happen, they would be the ones capable of protecting others.

  At the sight of this scene, Duanmu Li revealed an admiring smile.

  The Draconic Human Great Hall was in a horrific mess. People were pushing against each other, and many people had fallen and were being stomped on, with agonizing cries ringing out incessantly.

  Tens of students were lying on the bloody floor, their life or death unknown.

  “Draconic human?”

  Murong Ye was surprised.

  He threw a glance and saw over ten draconic humans slashing and killing the surrounding teachers and students without any restraint. However, why were these draconic humans wearing the Dragon Subduing Academy’s school uniforms and teacher attires?

  Duanmu Li went for the strongest draconic human. The moment they clashed, he realized that something was amiss.

  “This guy is Qiyan Gao?”

  Duanmu Li asked this because this guy’s clothing was Qiyan Gao’s.

  “They’ve suddenly turned into draconic humans and then started to go crazy and kill people.”

  A great teacher explained while panting heavily.

  “Dragonification?”

  Duanmu Li frowned.

  There were some traces of humanity on Qiyan Gao at the moment, but his face, neck, and arms had all been covered by black scales. His eyes had also turned into ones that were like lizards’. Big patches of his hair were falling off.

  Roar! Roar! Roar!

  Over ten draconic humans let out enraged roars and proceeded with a massacre.

  “Stop them quickly!”

  Some great teachers were unafraid of death and made a move decisively. However, too many people in the hall were squeezing them, rendering them unable to make a move.

  There weren’t usually so many people, but they had gathered today because they wanted to see Sun Mo take on the Unlimited Challenge Mode. Therefore, after the accident happened, the results were especially horrifying.

  “Headmaster Murong, what should we do? Do we kill them?”

  A middle-aged great teacher’s clothing was stained with blood. Even though he was injured, he managed to capture a young draconic human. This one had been transformed from a student, and thus the middle-aged great teacher wasn’t able to get himself to deal lethal attacks to it.

  However, after these students underwent dragonification, not only did their strength increase tremendously, but they also went berserk, massacring the crowd. It was a great challenge to capture them alive.

  “Let me do a check!”

  Sun Mo dashed over.
