Chapter 1167: Super Recruiting Mode by the Other Party!

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining [Myriad Equipment Manual], platinum edition.”

“Note: This book records 100 types of various and rare weapon forging techniques that appeared from ancient times up until now.”

“Warning: this [Myriad Equipment Manual] might have recorded some weapon forging processes, but please do not easily try it out or terrifying consequences might happen.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Mo was no longer happy.

“What’s the use of this then? Just to broaden my horizons and a tool for me to brag?”

Knowledge that couldn’t be ‘translated’ into reality was not useful knowledge to him.

“As a human, especially as a great teacher, can you not be so uncouth?”

The system replied in contempt.

“Your [Myriad Equipment Manual] should be some unorthodox skills or weapon forging techniques that can’t be actualized from ancient times until now, right?”

Sun Mo analyzed.

In the past, he had learned a book named [Myriad Equipment Manual] too. There were human sacrifices, curses, and various methods of forging a weapon inside it. It looked like a fantasy, and the success rate of forging such weapons with these techniques was purely dependent on luck.

“You can understand it like this!”

The system approved of Sun Mo’s judgment.

“Forget it, open the next chest!”

Sun Mo couldn’t be bothered to argue about this topic.

The last treasure chest opened and a multi-colored glow shone brightly. A book glowing with black light quietly floated in the air.

Ding!

“Congratulations, you have obtained [First Glimpse into the Origin of Gu]. Proficiency level: Elementary!”

“Note, after learning this book, you will have a detailed understanding of Gu Techniques as a whole. Although you cannot use gu-bugs, you will be more adept at defending against them.”

Yue Country was located at the southern extremity of the Nine Provinces. It was damp and stuffy through the year, with miasma covering the land.

With such a terrifying environment, there were naturally various poisonous bugs being birthed. The locals had invented countless types of killing methods that were a combination of curse techniques and bugs through several thousand years of research.

The Nine Provinces called those people who were proficient in such killing methods as Gu Masters.

Because Yue Country’s location was remote and far, in addition, the people there were all minor tribes and had a very strong anti-foreigner stance, the education of Gu and its control methods had never been spread externally before. Although there were so many famous schools in the Nine Provinces, those with classes about Gu were extremely few.

Moreover, even if they had classes about Gu, they would merely be talking about the tip of the iceberg and wouldn’t speak about the core of Gu Techniques.

The comprehensive strength of the Myriad Spirits Academy was actually insufficient to enter the ranks of the Nine Greats. But 1,000 years ago, the people from Yue Country had headed west to make trouble, making use of gu-bugs, poisonous herbs, curses, and secret medicine to harm the Central Plains. In the end, in order to prevent a terrible calamity, the Saint Gate gave special approval for the Myriad Spirits Academy to become a supreme-grade famous school.

Truthfully speaking, until now, the people from Central Plains still looked down on people from Nanyue and were filled with prejudice about teachers and students from the Myriad Spirits Academy.

It was said that a few tribes in Nanyue knew secret arts that could make corpses fight. These people were known as zombie controllers.

One would shiver despite not being cold just by hearing about this.

Luckily, the people of Nanyue didn’t want to have anything to do with the west. They closed their doors and were content to rule their lands internally, spending their time and effort in researching gu techniques, poisonous herbs, and puppetry.

After Sun Mo learned it, bugs of various forms and shapes appeared in his mind, including the ways to nurture them.

This caused him to subconsciously shiver.

How disgusting!

There was no solution to it. Sun Mo was the most afraid of bugs with many legs like centipedes. The moment he thought about a bug with so many legs crawling on his skin and leaving behind mucus, he wouldn’t be able to eat anything for three days.

…

On the campus, on the path leading to the canteen…

“Look, that girl is so beautiful!”

“Does our school still have such beautiful girls? How can a horny guy like me who has seen countless girls not know of them? Could it be that my eyes have been blinded at a time unknown to me?”

“Stop looking at them, they are my wives!”

Not only did the guys turn their heads, but even girls couldn’t help but glance over due to the commotion. After that, they were dumbstruck by Zhang Guoping’s face.

Such a beautiful girl should have long since become famous in school, right?

“What should I do?”

Zhang Guoping felt trepidation in her heart.

During the morning lesson, she didn’t manage to listen to a single word because people were constantly sneaking looks at her, and this caused her to feel very uncomfortable and nervous.

“You don’t know it, but you are living in happiness!”

Tang Qian enjoyed such stares very much.

Her original foundation wasn’t bad. After Sun Mo had helped her to do minor facial adjustments, her standard became 7/10.

A girl of such standards already had a very high ‘head-turning’ rate.

“If you don’t want it, you can get Teacher Sun to reverse the surgery!”

Tang Qian teased.

“No!”

Zhang Guoping shook her head. Everyone naturally loved to look beautiful. No one had ever heard that someone would want cosmetic surgery to make themselves uglier.

“In order to celebrate us having a new look, we have to eat a good meal today!”

Tang Qian knew that her best friend might be changing schools soon. Hence, she brought a great deal of food to treat her as a form of giving her a good send-off.

The two girls hid at a corner of the canteen and started chatting idly.

But very soon, this remote corner was filled with students. This was especially so for male students, as they ate, they were ogling at the two girls.

“A bunch of smelly men!”

Tang Qian played with her hair and cheered happily in her heart.

(Long-live Teacher Sun!)

(During my next life, I will be your horse or ox to repay you for granting me a new life!)

“Let’s eat quickly!”

Tang Qian urged. She then saw Zhang Guoping suddenly stiffening and followed her bestie’s gaze to discover that He Zhen was currently walking over with his food before stopping at a table near them.

“Do you want to go over and express your love?”

Tang Qian felt happy for her friend. “This time around, he probably won’t reject you.”

Zhang Guoping fell silent.

“He Zhen majors in the study of spirit rune, and he surely would want to learn from Teacher Sun. Given Teacher Sun’s admiration for you, if you went to beg him, you should be able to bring He Zhen to the Central Province Academy!”

Tang Qian teased. “At that time, you guys might be able to get together.”

Zhang Guoping shook her head and started to eat her food silently. She didn’t even have the mood to smile. She didn’t expect He Zhen to be someone so shallow.

It was just a skin. Could it really cause people to be so infatuated?

In the past, Zhang Guoping would surely feel her heart fluttering wildly. But now, she felt that true love was dead.

“Isn’t your requirement for He Zhen’s character a little too high?”

Tang Qian was speechless. “Probably no man in the world can do this!”

“Teacher Sun definitely can!”

Zhang Guoping felt worship in her heart when she thought of the scholarly, handsome, refined, amiable, and graceful Sun Mo.

“…”

Tang Qian wanted to say ‘look at the beauties surrounding Sun Mo. Mei Ziyu, Murong Mingyue, Jin Mujie, Gu Xiuxun, all of them had their own points of strength and were beautifully different in their own ways. Even his two female disciples would crush us in terms of looks!’.

(Heading out while bringing his great teacher circle that consisted of beauties of different ages.)

(For someone like this, if I say he isn’t a horny man, would you believe me?)

(Ai, I really want to join his great teacher circle!)

(Even if I have to wash his chamber pot every day, I’d be willing.)

“The man I find in the future must be at least 60% as handsome as Teacher Sun, have 20% of his wisdom and 10% of his gentleness!”

Tang Qian yearned for such a future and contributed another wave of favorable impression points to Sun Mo.

Zhang Guoping quietly ate.

Because of the facial surgery incident, she saw through love clearly. Hence, she devoted even more time and energy to her studies, wanting to establish a firm foundation and become a saint doctor that was ranked in the top five in the history of the Central Province Academy.

Zhang Guoping’s medical arts might not be the most impressive one. However, her heart was definitely filled with benevolence. She would treat all patients equally regardless of them being poor or rich!

…

Song Clan, in the dining room!

“Why does Headmaster Song want to invite us for a meal?”

Gu Xiuxun stared at the simple decorations in the surroundings and felt uneasy. The most important thing was that Headmaster Song didn’t invite Sun Mo but the others instead.

“There must be a hidden agenda!”

Before Lu Zhiruo could finish speaking, her mouth got covered by Li Ziqi.

“Speak cautiously!”

The little sunny egg was almost frightened to death. (Can you not speak such things?) “Do you not know how terrifying the hearing of saints is? If you scold him in the northern city, he will be able to hear you even if he is in the southern city!”

“There’s no need for such an exaggeration, right? We cannot insult or scold saints because they have saint halos. I’m just merely stating something with no disrespect in my heart.”

Lu Zhiruo explained. “Besides, saints wouldn’t vent their anger on ordinary people because of a matter as small as this. The hearts of saints are very magnanimous and vast.”

“I don’t know if the hearts of saints are vast and magnanimous or not, but I know that if you become a saint, your heart (chest) will definitely be very large!”

Li Ziqi snuck a glance at the papaya girl’s chest. She hoped that one day when she became a saint, she could also possess such a ‘vast’ heart!

The food was simple and the location of the meal was the dining room.

However, An Xinhui and the others didn’t feel slighted. They were slightly overwhelmed by the favor from a superior instead. After all, to judge whether the standard of a meal was high or not didn’t depend on whether the food is nice or if the location is luxurious. Rather, it depended on how esteemed the other party’s status is.

Even if they ate an ordinary plate of beef and a dish of beggar’s chicken at a pavilion beside a lake, it would definitely be a very beautiful tale.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

Headmaster Song was very amiable and apologized first after he entered.

An Xinhui and the others hurriedly rose and didn’t dare to accept the apology.

After everyone sat down, Headmaster Song toasted all of them with a cup of tea. Because they were all girls, he didn’t offer them alcohol. After that, he decided to go straight to the point.

“I’ve done an investigation. If your esteemed school didn’t have Sun Mo, you would have long since been demoted and delisted. Now, the strength of your school isn’t bad, and you are successful in maintaining your school’s ranking every year. However, I don’t think things would be that good for your future.”

An Xinhui was a little unhappy listening to such words, but she had no way to refute. Because everything the school had now was all brought to them by Sun Mo.

“By staying in your esteemed school, it’s truly too much of a waste of Sun Mo’s talent. Headmaster An, I hope you can part with him and allow him to work here in the Black-White Academy!”

Headmaster Song truly admired Sun Mo and wanted to hand the future of this school to him.

“Headmaster Song. Even if our school cannot make it now, we will reach the peak eventually in the future. And right now, Sister Xinhui has let go of most matters, allowing Sun Mo to take full charge of the school. He can mold the school in any way he wishes to. I want to ask if he can do that in your esteemed school?”

As An Xinhui’s bestie and supporter, Gu Xiuxun immediately spoke out to question Headmaster Song. She didn’t fear the fact that she might offend a saint.

If it was Jin Mujie, she wouldn’t dare to say anything like this.

As for Mei Ziyu and Murong Mingyue, to put things unpleasantly, they had no feelings for the Central Province Academy and only stayed there because of Sun Mo.

They would follow him no matter where he went.

And by the same logic, Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo were the same as well.
