Wan Kangcheng stood by the window and stared at the teaching building, basking under the light of the setting sun.

  (I wonder how’s the effect of Sun Mo’s lectures?)

  Although he was unhappy with Sun Mo, he was very cautious and had sent his female assistant to the lecture so he could collect first-hand information.

  Boom! Boom!

  The sounds of knocking rang out on his office door.

  Wan Kangcheng shouted for the person to enter and then saw Zhou Zerui and Xie Enhui pushing the door open.

  “Why are your expressions so solemn?”

  Wan Kangcheng was astonished. “Did something happen to Sun Mo?”

  “Nothing happened to him, but something is about to happen to our school.”

  Zhou Zerui directly sat down and earnestly spoke, “Old Wan, an opportunity that’s rare even in 100 years for our Black-White Academy is before our very eyes. You must not miss out on it!”

  “What opportunity?”

  Wan Kangcheng had an astonished look on his face.

  “Sun Mo!” Zhou Zerui seriously spoke. “We have to poach him over, regardless of the price!”

  Wan Kangcheng was unhappy and his tone was somewhat mocking.

  “Ha, I’m afraid he will want the position of the vice headmaster. Should we give it to him then?”

  “Give it!”

  Zhou Zerui didn’t hesitate at all.

  Wan Kangcheng’s brows furrowed. He then looked at Xie Enhui. “Do you feel the same way as well?”

  “It’s too much of an exaggeration to give him the post of vice headmaster now. But there shouldn’t be a problem ten years from now.”

  Xie Enhui’s evaluation of Sun Mo was relatively high.

  “With him present, the standard of the study of spirit runes in our school will be at the peak of the Nine Provinces!”

  “Tell me what exactly did Sun Mo lecture on?”

  Wan Kangcheng grew excited. One must know that these two were 7-stars great teachers who had very deep knowledge, and they wouldn’t easily be impressed by others. Yet right now, their attitudes were as though they had become brain-dead fans.

  Zhou Zerui immediately started to describe what had happened.

  The more Wan Kangcheng listened, the heavier his expression grew. He finally couldn’t bear it anymore and interrupted.

  “So exaggerated?”

  Even if a 7-stars great teacher personally lectured, that teacher probably wouldn’t be able to cause such a commotion, right?

  “Your assistant is there too. Wait for her to come back and you can verify what we said!”

  Zhou Zerui sighed ruefully. “Those who went for the lecture participated in the cheering and applause. One must know that the number of great teachers there was above 400 people.”

  A great teacher only used a single lecture to gain the approval of so many other great teachers. How terrifying was his teaching ability?

  Xie Enhui wanted to say something more, but she was interrupted by a knock on the door. After that, a large group of great teachers rushed in.

  “What are you all doing?”

  Wan Kangcheng swept his gaze over while feeling puzzled in his heart. These people majored in the study of spirit runes.

  “Headmaster, you should make a rule saying, students and great teachers who are not majoring in the study of spirit runes are not allowed to attend Sun Mo’s lectures!”

  “Actually, you should ban all students.”

  “Ah? Isn’t it a little too over the top to do this? Students should be able to listen, alright? In any case, there are enough seats, so why don’t we let them listen?”

  The great teachers all spoke out respectively with different opinions.

  “Wait a minute, what do you mean?”

  Before Wang Kangcheng could express his opinion, Zhou Zerui already grew unhappy.

  “Sun Mo’s spirit rune lecture contained an epoch-making meaning. It was filled with farsightedness. Allowing you guys to go and listen in is simply a waste!”

  A great teacher spoke boldly in a just and forceful manner.

  “Yeah, they even took up our seats!”

  Many of the great teachers who failed to get a seat were now so angry that they had a toothache.

  From their point of view, it would be a waste of resources for these people to listen to Sun Mo’s lecture. It was an act of blasphemy, and they all ought to be drowned in a wicker basket.

  “Sun Mo’s lecture is the treasure of the entire Black-White Academy. Hence, why can’t the other students and teachers listen? If that’s the case, those in botany and the art of spiritual control shouldn’t be allowed to listen too.”

  Zhou Zerui angrily denounced.

  “That won’t do!”

  Everyone immediately rejected it.

  When Wan Kangcheng saw both parties quarreling, he felt a little astonished and regretful.

  Was Sun Mo’s lecture really so outstanding?

  (Sigh! I should have gone and listened too!)

  “Everyone, listen to me. We great teachers should have great magnanimity. Forbidding others from listening to a lecture? Honestly speaking, if you guys are the students, would you be willing to accept it?”

  Wan Kangcheng persuaded.

  “If you really feel Sun Mo’s lecture is good, just head there earlier to book seats!”

  “Headmaster, you have no idea…Forget it, you should just go there and take a look for yourself tomorrow!”

  Everyone sighed.

  Sun Mo’s lecture was so popular. They dared to guarantee that the competitiveness between listeners tomorrow would only be greater!

  “Speaking of which, the students and teachers of our Black-White Academy seemed as though they had never seen the larger world before!”

  Wan Kangcheng grumbled in his heart. He was preparing to head there tomorrow personally.

  …

  The next morning.

  After eating breakfast, Wan Kangcheng entered the teaching building and was preparing to patrol before heading to #301. But the moment he arrived on the third floor, he was stunned.

  Over half of the corridor was already filled to the brim.

  “What’s going on?”

  Wan Kangcheng asked.

  His voice wasn’t loud, but because he used Profound Words, everyone heard him clearly.

  “Headmaster!”

  All the teachers and students bowed.

  “What’s the matter here?”

  Wan Kangcheng narrowed his eyes and discovered that everyone’s target was #301.

  “We are waiting for seats!”

  A student replied respectfully.

  “What time is it?”

  Wan Kangcheng was astonished.

  There were too many high star-ranking great teachers in the Black-White Academy, so students often came earlier to secure seats. But the number of students would definitely not be as many as this.

  Because if they couldn’t listen to a lecture by this great teacher, they could always go listen to another one. Besides, the particular great teacher wouldn’t merely give a single lecture. They would be giving lectures throughout the year.

  “I was already here at 5 a.m.!”

  A student felt extremely depressed and exposed to something. “Some people are just too scheming. They basically didn’t return to their dorms at night and simply slept in the classroom.”

  “…”

  Wan Kangcheng entered the classroom with a heavy look on his face.

  He discovered that there were almost no students. They were all intern teachers, teaching assistants, and low star-ranking great teachers.

  Wan Kangcheng almost wanted to curse!

  (What the hell are you guys doing? Doesn’t our Black-White Academy want face? What do you guys mean by fawning so much on Sun Mo?)

  Everyone felt a little embarrassed.

  (We want to experience God Hands and get Sun Mo to resolve some difficult problems we face in cultivation. We even want him to tailor-make a cultivation plan for us.)

  “F***, why are there so many people?”

  Wan Kangcheng’s expression sank, and then he heard someone spouting vulgarity. He turned his head and was about to scold the person, but when he saw Zhang Chun, he immediately swallowed his words.

  He was an 8-stars great teacher whose qualifications and seniority were even higher than his.

  Back when Wan Kangcheng was a student in the Black-White Academy, Zhang Chun was already a great teacher. He was considered a Doyen-level character.

  “Zhang-laoshi, why did you come as well?”

  Wan Kangcheng hurriedly squeezed out a smile.

  “I heard that Shi Sheng managed to break through to become a secondary saint thanks to Great Teacher Sun’s guidance, is that right?”

  Zhang Chun’s voice sounded hurried. His words were like firecracker explosions and were extremely ear-piercing.

  “That’s correct!”

  Whenever he spoke of this, Wan Kangcheng would feel depressed.

  (Wait a minute, does Zhang-laoshi mean…)

  “Mn!”

  Zhang Chun looked around and involuntarily shook his head.

  “Zhang lao-shi, please sit here!”

  “Teacher sit, you should sit!”

  The nearby great teachers all stood up.

  To them, Zhang Chun was their senior and also an 8-stars great teacher. They had to show respect for him.

  “You guys sit, I can just stand!”

  Zhang Chun didn’t want such a benefit.

  “Teacher!”

  Someone wanted to persuade him, but in the end, Zhang Chun grew unhappy.

  “Shut up, stop being such a wussy.”

  Bzz!

  Profound Words erupted and those people nearby directly shut up.

  The range was so small, but it didn’t mean that Zhang Chun’s proficiency with this great teacher halo wasn’t high enough. Rather, it showed that his control was too perfect.

  It had reached the stage where he could control the range as he wished.

  “Go, move another chair over!”

  Wan Kangcheng instructed.

  “There’s no need!”

  Zhang Chun rejected. “Since I’m here to sit in, I should have the attitude of someone who does it. Doing anything else would mean disrespect to Great Teacher Sun.”

  Wan Kangcheng’s kind intentions were treated as dogshit. He felt extremely sullen at being treated like a dog.

  This Zhang Chun was extremely old-fashioned and inflexible.

  Before the lecture started, everyone was originally in a discussion. But the moment Zhang Chun came, everyone felt pressure as great as a mountain and no one dared to speak anymore.

  Moreover, it felt like their butts were on fire and they kept fidgeting.

  This great teacher Zhang Chun had a tense face, and he was like a firecracker that could explode any time. Actually, there was a reason for this.

  He was already very old and was 772 years old, close to the end of his lifespan. However, he was also once a genius that the Black-White Academy had placed its hopes on.

  The Saint Realm was his goal, but now, he wasn’t even a secondary saint.

  If he died now, he would have no face to meet his esteemed teacher down in the underworld.

  Zhang Chun’s powerful aura caused this entire level to fall silent.

  Although there were many people gathered here, no one dared to speak.

  Wan Kangcheng was so depressed that he wanted to cough up blood.

  Given his identity, it was very easy for him to find a seat. However, because Zhang Chun didn’t sit, he could only stand.

  Leaving the classroom?

  Wan Kangcheng thought of doing so, but it was unknown why he kept feeling a sense of unease!

  (Ha! I’m just scaring myself. Sun Mo has helped Shi Sheng to become a secondary saint. He can’t possibly help Zhang Chun as well, right? If he can do so, I will become his chamber pot for three months.)

  And in such a tense atmosphere, the bell rang.

  Sun Mo punctually entered the classroom.

  (What the hell? Why are these people so solemn?)

  Sun Mo saw Wan Kangcheng. After that, his gaze landed on Zhang Chun.

  Even without using Divine Sight, Sun Mo could tell that this fellow was a major character!

  This was just his second lecture and a major character had appeared?

  (Isn’t the Black-White Academy a little too lacking in prestige?)

  Sun Mo didn’t know that Zhang Chun was reaching the end of his lifespan soon.

  “Today, we will continue to talk about medical cultivation. I will give an actual example and do concrete analysis to teach everyone how to tailor-make a cultivation plan!”

  After Sun Mo finished speaking, he smiled. “Is there anyone willing to be my ‘example’?”

  Swish! Swish! Swish!

  A sea of arms shot up so quickly like they wanted to pierce the ceiling of the classroom.

  Other than Wan Kangcheng and Zhang Chun, everyone else had raised their hands.

  “This young lady then?”

  Sun Mo chose a young girl named Feng Jia.

  “His lecturing style is excellent!”

  Wan Kangcheng praised greatly.

  The main point was that Sun Mo was just too handsome. This added too many points for him.

  Others would say that those who were good-looking were cute even if they messed up a little. But if it was someone ugly, they would definitely say that they messed things up on purpose.

  For the entire twenty minutes, Sun Mo handled everything and helped Feng Jia to craft a targeted training plan in a clear and orderly manner.

  In the end, he added another suggestion.

  “Although it’s considered late for someone of your age to change to another cultivation art, I still hope you will do so because the Golden Sword Art is incompatible with your nature. If you continue, there will be a limit in terms of success. If you change it now, you will at most waste a few years at most. However, your future achievements will be higher.”

  After Sun Mo finished speaking, his words gave rise to a round of discussion.

  In the great teacher world, suggesting others to change their cultivation arts was a very risky thing to do.

  Firstly, no one knew if the effect would be good after they changed to another cultivation art. This was especially so for someone like Feng Jia who had trained in the Golden Sword Art for 11 years. If she changed her cultivation art now, this meant that her years of effort would all be wasted.

  Besides, even if the suggestion was correct, one would need at least a few years to obtain some achievements. During this period, the number of variables was simply too many. What if the effect was bad due to some other reasons? There would be no point in changing the original cultivation art then.

  “Teacher Sun, is there a reason?”

  Feng Jia had a heavy look on her face.

  “Your body’s ability to erupt forth with strength is very strong. You are suitable for those ferocious and berserk-type cultivation arts. Yet, the Golden Sword Art is something that’s from the swift and nimble path, used to fight a long and protracted battle.”

  Sun Mo explained.

  To give an example, it was like this Feng Jia was suitable for the 100-meter race as her strengths allowed her to sprint all-out in a short burst. Yet, she purposely chose to participate in a marathon.

  “You were able to achieve such a level with the Golden Sword Art because your talent is simply too good.”

  Sun Mo encouraged. “You will do even better if you change your cultivation art to something ferocious and wild like the Raging Waves Thirteen Blades!”

  Feng Jia frowned in contemplation.

  “I understand!”

  Sun Mo nodded to express his understanding. “Cultivation arts can not be strong, but they cannot not be cool.”

  Haha!

  Several people laughed.

  Because this was something everyone preferred. When they selected a cultivation art, they would highly prefer to choose a cool-looking one as a priority, followed by the degree of might that could be produced.

  “Many thanks, Teacher Sun, I’ve remembered it!”

  Feng Jia thanked him.

  “The Golden Sword Art basically has no way to unleash your body’s potential fully. If you don’t mind, can I give you a hand?”

  Sun Mo suggested.

  “I will have to thank Teacher Sun again then!”

  Feng Jia was greatly joyful.

  After that, Sun Mo used God Hands.

  Five minutes later, Feng Jia started to achieve a breakthrough.

  Zhang Chun’s eyes glowed with a brilliant light.

  “Many thanks to Teacher Sun!”

  Feng Jia originally didn’t wish to change to another cultivation art, but right now, she decided to give it a try.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Feng Jia +1,000. Respect (3,120/10,000).

  “Next, it will be the question and answer segment. Whoever has a question can raise their hands.”

  After Sun Mo finished speaking, a sea of arms shot up into the air.

  Wan Kangcheng was also thoroughly convinced when he saw this scene.

  Sun Mo was truly very confident in himself.

  On-the-spot guidance was the most difficult.

  Because if the student you were guiding couldn’t achieve an instantaneous effect, others might doubt your skill. But if Sun Mo acted, the other party would surely achieve a breakthrough.

  Every time he was successful would make his fame shoot up by another level.

  Time slowly flowed by and Wan Kangcheng simply watched. There were already three people who had achieved a breakthrough successfully.

  Now, he was somewhat numb.

  “Next!”

  Sun Mo was very calm and composed.

  Wan Kangcheng applauded with everyone else. After that, his gaze turned to Zhang Chun as he decided to ask a question.

  “Teacher Sun, can you please check up on Zhang-laoshi’s situation?”

  Swish~

  Everyone fell silent and glanced over.

  A thought flashed through the minds of many people. (Vice Headmaster Wan, isn’t it not too good for you to suppress Sun Mo like that? After all, he is still considered a junior.)

  Wan Kangcheng was being misunderstood.

  He didn’t have any intentions of making things difficult for Sun Mo. He knew that as an 8-stars great teacher, Zhang Chun would surely find it awkward to request something from a young man. Hence, he wanted to speak on Zhang Chun’s behalf.

  (However, if Sun Mo could really resolve Zhang-laoshi’s problem, wouldn’t I be lifting a stone to smash my own feet?)

  (No!)

  (That can’t be possible!)

  (I’m worrying too much. If Sun Mo can make Zhang Chun ascend to the secondary saint realm, even dead trees can bloom with flowers!)

  (Wait a minute, this comparison doesn’t seem to be too good?)

  Sun Mo seemed to have achieved a miraculous performance of bringing spring to withered trees before.

  Chapter 1109: Emergence of a Secondary Saint, Black-White Academy Shocked!

  “Zhang-laoshi, could you permit me to do an inspection?”

  Sun Mo clasped his fists.

  Hua!

  A minor commotion appeared in the classroom because Sun Mo actually accepted this.

  His guts were truly heavenly!

  “Regardless of what the result is, I respect you because you are a real man!”

  Zhou Zerui was convinced.

  “How tyrannical!”

  Xie Enhui’s admiration for Sun Mo also grew.

  “I will have to trouble Teacher Sun then!”

  Zhang Chun clasped his fists. “Also, I might be old, but I don’t have many achievements, so there’s no need to address me as ‘laoshi’!”

  Sun Mo declined to comment. This was in public, so he had to have manners, or others might feel that he was too unruly and arrogant.

  If he wanted to flip out, he had to grab hold of the other party’s weakness first.

  As Sun Mo used his hand to inspect Zhang Chun’s body, he also activated Divine Sight for observation. After that, his brows started to furrow.

  This old man’s body was very weak, like a withered old tree that had reached the end of its life.

  For a total of ten minutes, Sun Mo didn’t say anything, and the people in the classroom didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. They were simply watching him.

  The atmosphere was very tense, like the dark clouds covering the sun before the storm came.

  It lasted until Sun Mo retracted his hands. However, he didn’t say anything.

  Zhou Zerui could no longer wait and took the initiative to ask. “Teacher Sun, how is it?”

  “I believe that Zhang-laoshi’s goal is to become a secondary saint, right?”

  Sun Mo considered his words before asking.

  “Hehe!”

  Zhang Chun smiled self-mockingly. Actually, his goal was to become a saint, but he wasn’t even a secondary saint now. If he said his goal was to be a saint, others might feel that he was too much.

  “What if I persuade Zhang-laoshi to give up?”

  Bzz!

  When Sun Mo said this, a huge uproar immediately shook the entire scene.

  This was especially so for juniors who had studied under Zhang Chun before. Right now, anger filled their eyes, and they all felt like tearing Sun Mo into pieces.

  No one here was a fool.

  The underlying meaning in Sun Mo’s words was clear. (You no longer have a chance to become a secondary saint, just give up!)

  “Teacher Sun, I admit that your God Hands do have some extraordinary aspects. However, the future of an 8-stars great teacher isn’t something you can judge!”

  A male great teacher stood up and publicly criticized Sun Mo. He then hurriedly consoled Zhang Chun. “Teacher, you shouldn’t listen to this nonsense.”

  “You sit down!”

  Zhang Chun berated. After that, he clasped his hands toward Sun Mo. “Please continue!”

  Although he said this, there was anger and reluctance in Zhang Chun’s heart. He felt like a student whose teacher told him that no matter how hard he worked, it was impossible for him to rank within the top ten in his class.

  This was a type of denial with regard to his hard work and talent.

  “Zhang-laoshi, after inspecting your body, I understand that even now, you are still cultivating assiduously every day. It can be said that you placed your entire life trying to achieve a breakthrough to the secondary saint realm. Do you feel that it is worth it?”

  Sun Mo counter-asked.

  “Why isn’t that worth it?”

  This time around, several people spoke out. Becoming a saint was the ultimate dream of all great teachers.

  “Kinship, friendship, love. All of these are beautiful things. Teaching your sons and grandchildren how to swim, enjoying the warmth of a family, gathering with three to five friends for a drink and chat, touring places with your wife, recalling the memories of the past.

  “Even without all these examples, I believe that everyone here must have things they want to do but have not done yet, right? For example, us men, which of us wouldn’t want to try visiting all the brothels in Jiangnan, checking out the ‘flowers’ in each of them? At the very least, I have dreamt of becoming drunk in one with many beautiful girls serving me!”

  Sun Mo’s words caused many men to reveal an understanding smile like they understood they were people on the same path.

  Men…who didn’t have a period of their youth where they were extremely horny?

  “I feel that, for the dream of becoming a saint, if you succeed, it will be admittedly worthy of celebration. But even if you cannot become one, there’s no need to push things and sacrifice the beauty of life for it.”

  Sun Mo was extremely sincere, and these words were from the bottom of his heart. “From my point of view, there are many beautiful sceneries in life. But Zhang-laoshi is merely staring at the single mountain of becoming a saint and has neglected the nearby beautiful lakes and mountainscape, neglected the spring sun and white snow, and even neglected the folk songs of the ordinary people working in the fields!”

  Bzz!

  A layer of golden light covered Sun Mo. After that, this light illuminated the entire classroom.

  “It’s Priceless Advice!”

  Someone exclaimed in shock.

  Those who had criticized Sun Mo immediately fell silent because the appearance of Priceless Advice meant that Sun Mo wasn’t trying to swindle Zhang Chun. He truly thought this way.

  “Zhang-laoshi. Sometimes, giving up is also a type of courage. It is more precious compared to continued persistence!”

  Sun Mo earnestly spoke.

  Through the ancient massaging technique, he felt that Zhang Chun had spent the vast majority of his time in meditation and cultivation. Other than the time he took to give lectures, his interaction with his family and friends was almost nonexistent.

  One could say that he basically didn’t have a private life.

  Zhang Chun fell silent.

  Wan Kangcheng was berating Sun Mo in his heart.

  After all, once Zhang Chun became a secondary saint, it would vastly boost the Black-White Academy’s prestige and might. However, he also knew that Zhang Chun’s life was simply too…

  Dull.

  It was precisely because Wan Kangcheng couldn’t withstand such a bitter and boring life that he felt he couldn’t reach the secondary saint realm. This was why he gave up. Under Headmaster Song’s suggestion, he chose to become a vice headmaster.

  “Teacher Sun, what’s my chance of success to become a secondary saint?”

  Zhang Chun clasped his hands and humbly asked.

  “If I give you another 100 years, you might have a 5% chance to succeed.”

  Sun Mo’s words invoked another wild round of discussion.

  This indicated that in Sun Mo’s eyes, Zhang Chun no longer had a chance.

  This was an incomparably cruel judgment.

  There was a limit to one’s lifespan. Zhang Chun was already 700 years old. Even if he was the reincarnation of a thousand-year turtle, he would die soon.

  “100 years?”

  Zhang Chun mumbled.

  He knew his own body the best. It was indeed deteriorating every day.

  “Zhang-laoshi, admitting that one cannot do so and accepting reality is also a type of courage. Besides, achieving 8-stars is already sufficient to prove that you are someone whose talent is above 99% of others in the great teacher world.”

  “Your achievements are something that you can be sufficiently proud of.”

  Sun Mo praised.

  Everyone nodded because Sun Mo’s words weren’t wrong.

  In the entire world, there were not more than 100 secondary saints.

  “Zhang-laoshi, may I be so impudent as to ask another question? You are so obsessed with becoming a secondary saint. Is it for your own sake or for the sake of others?”

  Sun Mo was curious.

  “Teacher Sun, Zhang-laoshi isn’t a vain person.”

  Zhou Zerui reminded Sun Mo. Such words might offend Zhang Chun.

  “It’s for my teacher’s sake!”

  When he mentioned his teacher, Zhang Chun’s eyes glowed with a worshipful light.

  His teacher had high hopes for him, but he wasn’t able to achieve 6-stars before his teacher died. This was why he felt very guilty and kept blaming himself. He thought that it was because of him that his teacher died with regrets.

  “Understood!”

  Sun Mo sighed.

  Which children wouldn’t hope that their parents would be proud of them?

  Sun Mo could understand Zhang Chun’s feeling!

  Actually, the reason why many men worked so hard was not for themselves.

  Drinking and playing games every day, wouldn’t that be nice?

  But many men couldn’t afford to enjoy them.

  They worked so hard because they wanted their family to be proud of them.

  This was what responsibility was supposed to be!

  This was the persistence of every son, husband, and father!

  “Sun-laoshi, how many years do I have left?”

  Zhang Chun humbly sought guidance. He even changed his term of address for Sun Mo.

  “I don’t dare to accept the honor!”

  Sun Mo hurriedly spoke out. After that, he fell silent. Such a topic mustn’t be spoken of casually.

  “30 years?”

  Zhang Chun asked again. But after seeing Sun Mo not answering, he shortened the amount. “20 years?”

  “I feel that the value of life doesn’t lie in the length. Rather, it lies in whether one’s life is meaningful or not.”

  Sun Mo felt a headache and decided to say another inspirational sentence.

  The underlying meaning was that Zhang Chun shouldn’t ask anymore.

  Wan Kangcheng and the other major characters had unsightly expressions on their faces.

  “Sun-laoshi, tell me honestly. If I give it my all, do I still have a chance to become a secondary saint?”

  When Zhang Chun said this, he directly bowed to Sun Mo.

  Sun Mo hurriedly dodged to the side, not answering the question.

  From the percentage of success, there was indeed a little. However…

  The price was too great.

  “Sun Mo, Zhang-laoshi has acted like this, why are you still unwilling to say?”

  “Isn’t it just God Hands? It might be impressive, but you shouldn’t be so arrogant!”

  These people felt that Sun Mo was too unfriendly.

  Zhang Chun was an 8-stars great teacher, a Doyen in the Black-White Academy. Now he was bowing and addressing Sun Mo as ‘Sun-laoshi’, yet Sun Mo still refused to answer.

  From everyones’ perspective, this was a type of humiliation.

  “Zhang-laoshi. Given your intelligence, you should know the answer to that question, right?”

  Sun Mo sighed.

  He didn’t want to say anything because he was worried Zhang Chun would choose the perilous path.

  “Haha, as expected!”

  Zhang Chun laughed uproariously.

  Dang! Dang! Dang!

  The bell signaling the end of the class rang out.

  “In this world, there are still many beautiful things. The main thing isn’t how long you can live, but how fascinating your life is.”

  Sun Mo sighed. It could be considered at an end now.

  He was preparing to announce the lecture’s end, but at this moment, Zhang Chun’s body suddenly emitted a powerful spirit pressure. After that, his entire body was ignited.

  This…

  Sun Mo’s countenance changed.

  “Zhang-laoshi, you…”

  Wan Kangcheng was badly shocked. However, he merely spoke halfway, and Zhou Zerui’s figure already flashed, rushing toward him and covering his mouth. “Don’t speak, you will disturb him!”

  “Everyone, get out now, immediately!”

  Zhou Zerui urged.

  Huala~ Huala~

  The students moved around in panic. Some didn’t understand what was happening to Zhang-laoshi.

  “Sun Mo, if something happened to Zhang-laoshi, you are going to regret it!”

  Wan Kangcheng glared at Sun Mo and felt so angry that he wanted to die.

  As expected, something happened.

  For the sake of breaking through to become a secondary saint, Zhang Chun had started to ignite his lifeforce and underwent a crazy gamble.

  If he failed, everything would end.

  And even if he won, he would only have a few years of life left.

  As an 8-stars great teacher, Wan Kangcheng had done research on this method of breaking through. If things weren’t at the absolute end, nobody would use it.

  To put it unpleasantly, 8-stars great teachers didn’t simply live for their own sake. They also had clans.

  Once a major character like this died, it would be extremely detrimental to their clan’s longevity.

  “This can’t be blamed on Sun Mo.”

  Xie Enhui helped Sun Mo to speak.

  “How can this not be blamed on him?”

  Wan Kangcheng was very angry. “If it wasn’t for him exposing the amount of time Zhang-laoshi had left, why would Zhang-laoshi take the gamble?”

  “You guys, stop arguing! Hurry up and guard him!”

  A major character berated.

  Zhang Chun’s eyes were tightly closed.

  The flames from his body grew more and more intense, like a flaming torch that was releasing endless light and heat.

  However, the spirit qi in the surroundings showed no signs of moving.

  Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and stared at Zhang Chun. After that, his expression grew increasingly heavy.

  Zhang Chun’s lifeforce was burning intensely but there were no signs of him achieving a breakthrough.

  “What you are doing is wrong!”

  Sun Mo suddenly roared, causing everyone to jump in fright.

  “Zhang-laoshi, since you want to gamble, you should go all out. Right now, although you are mentally prepared to die, you are still trying to save every spark of your lifeforce. This is incorrect. You shouldn’t care about trying to ‘save up’ so you can get the best ‘cost-performance ratio’. Stake it all in a single breath! If you don’t succeed, just die!”

  Sun Mo roared loudly.

  Zhang Chun’s resolution was not resolute enough.

  He was still thinking about using the smallest price in exchange for the greatest benefit.

  After hearing Sun Mo’s words, Zhang Chun’s expression showed a hint of hesitation. He didn’t follow Sun Mo’s advice.

  After all, what was being ignited was his lifeforce. He had no second chance.

  At such a time, he was more willing to believe in his own judgment.

  “Fool!”

  Sun Mo scolded. His mind collected all those articles and movies he had watched. He gathered all the resolute emotions of the main characters that were ready to die for their cause and punched out toward Zhang Chun’s brows.

  Soul Imprint!

  “What are you doing?”

  Seeing Sun Mo attacking and a ball of white light blasting into Zhang Chun’s head, Wan Kangcheng was badly shocked and subconsciously attacked Sun Mo.

  Luckily, Sun Mo was prepared. After executing his Soul Imprint, he hurriedly evaded Wan Kangcheng’s attack.

  “Teacher Sun, what did you do?”

  The others were also roaring in low voices.

  If it wasn’t for the fact that the location wasn’t right, they would all want to kill Sun Mo immediately.

  But as the ball of light entered Zhang Chun’s brain, he suddenly opened his eyes and ignited all the spirit qi in his body.

  He was influenced by the emotions Sun Mo had sent into his brain.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The shackles on Zhang Chun’s body loosened. After that, they cracked completely. BOOM!

  A vast amount of spirit qi akin to the water spurt by a whale gathered and flowed into Zhang Chun’s body, flooding it entirely.

  Crackle! Crackle!

  Numerous lotuses bloomed in the air and fragrance started to drift through the air. The smell wasn’t intense or light, but it seeped into everyone’s heart deeply, causing everyone to reflect on it.

  T…this was a sign of success after breaking through!

  The major characters were dumbfounded.

  He actually succeeded?

  Some motes of spirit qi sparkled and transformed into birds that danced in the air as they sang.

  A sound like the chiming of a gigantic bell rang out in the air.

  Everyone was deeply shocked as reverence filled their hearts. They then lowered their heads devoutly.

  A long time later!

  A voice finally rang out!

  “Many thanks, Sun-laoshi! It was because of your help that I managed to step into the realm of secondary saints!”

  Zhang Chun looked at Sun Mo and dipped into a deep bow.

  “Z…Zhang-laoshi, you succeeded?”

  Although Zhang Chun had personally said that, Wan Kangcheng still found it somewhat unbelievable.

  He was frightened.

  This was the second person who became a secondary saint due to Sun Mo’s help!

  If one time was a coincidence, then the second one…

  Many people here had seen it. If it wasn’t for Sun Mo’s guidance, there was an 80% chance that Zhang Chun would have failed and become a corpse now.

  All of them had stunned looks on their faces and were temporarily incapable of speech.

  Other than being shocked due to the birth of a secondary saint, they were also astonished at Sun Mo’s teaching capabilities. It was already so strong to the point that he could guide someone to become a secondary saint?

  Truly terrifying!
