Chapter 1294: Exam Begins, Someone Cheats!
Translator: Lordbluefire
The moon was high in the sky; cold wind inundated the area.
In two guest rooms of an inn near the lake, three men clad in black were currently drinking wine and admiring the moon. They were also staring at the pleasure boats on the lake that looked like egrets from this distance.
“Tomorrow is the date for the 1-star great teacher examination, right?”
Ahoarse-sounding voice rang out, filled with memory and desolation.
“Haha, do you feel very depressed because you became a dark great teacher? I remember that back then, you got first place in the 1-star examination and was known as a genius that might only appear once in a century in the great teacher world.”
Aman spoke energetically in a teasing tone. After he spoke, he drank the cup of soy milk on the desk.
“Che, who among us wasn’t the top student back in our years?”
The third black-robed man was skinnier in stature, but he had a very bad temper. He sat near the window but ignored everything with disdain. “If it wasn’t for the fact that I couldn’t take the 3-stars examination, the beautiful title of rising three star ranks consecutively would have been mine long before
Sun Mo achieved it!”
“It’s all in our youth, why are you still so hung up over this matter?”
The man drinking the soymilk shook his head. “Besides, Sun Mo has so many achievements. Rising three star ranks in a single stretch is so insignificant that it counts for nothing if we look at his resume.”
If Sun Mo was here, he would recognize that this man was none other than the Daybreak Starlord, whom he had met before over ten years ago. He was extremely fond of drinking soy milk.
“If there’s a choice, who would be willing to be a dark great teacher?”
The hot-tempered man coldly snorted.
Those who could sit at the same table and chat with the Daybreak Starlord naturally had very high statuses. The hot-tempered man was none other than the Corona Starlord.
As for the man with the hoarse voice that sounded like he had the flu, he was the Daynight Starlord.
“I don’t like to hear such words!”
The Daynight Starlord angrily grumbled, “Why should you care about your identity? As long as you can educate your students well and allow the talent of these children to be displayed, I feel that we don’t let the name ‘great teacher’ down!”
“In that case, why don’t you go onto the streets and shout loudly that you are the Daynight Starlord, a secondary saint. Let’s see how many students would dare to take you on as their teacher?”
The Corona Starlord mocked.
In this era, when you plundered and killed, you had to find a justifiable reason so you would be on the side of justice. Kings were instigators of war, but they would always proclaim themselves righteous.
“Why not?!”
The Daynight Starlord stood up and was about to head out.
“Stop quarreling, we are going to take action tomorrow. What if our grand plan gets delayed?”
The Daybreak Starlord could only act as the mediator.
“What does Zero Saint want to do? Why did he want us to seize the Great Dream Heart Sutra of the Central Province Academy?”
‘The Daynight Starlord liked to head to poor rural areas like undeveloped villages to look for talented kids to educate them.
For matters like wreaking destruction, he truly had no wish to do it. If this wasn’t an order by the Dawn Sovereign, he would definitely not come.
“Who knows?”
The Corona Starlord was also unwilling to participate.
The ultimate arts of the Nine Greats were indeed powerful, but honestly speaking, at the thinking level of these Starlords, they truly couldn’t bring themselves to act as robbers. Moreover, they already possessed their own peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts.
From their point of view, tempering their combat skills was more important than cultivation arts.
When the Four Symbols Starlord was still alive, he coveted the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture of the Dragon Subduing Academy. But that was because he wanted to decipher the secrets within to aid him to achieve a breakthrough to the Saint Realm. It wasn’t because he wanted that
cultivation art for himself.
Just when the Daybreak Starlord wanted to speak, he suddenly paused and tumed his head to look at the entrance. “Since you are already here, just enter. It has been so many years, so why haven’t you changed your sneaky behavior?”
“Hehe, all of you are major characters, so I naturally wouldn’t dare to interrupt. I planned to enter only after you guys finished drinking, so I can avoid the scene of you guys being taught a lesson.”
Ayoung girl wearing a mask pushed the door open and walked in.
“Is there a need to be so cautious? It’s not like we don’t know your face.”
The Daybreak Starlord teased.
“This is the basics for a spy. We have to respect our opponents. There might come a day when you guys betray me because you all want to get something good from Sun Mo!”
The girl had a self-mocking smile on her face.
“Do you have the info?”
The Corona Starlord interjected.
Pak!
The masked girl tossed a file at the Daybreak Starlord, but before he grabbed it, the file suddenly changed direction and was intercepted by the Corona Starlord.
“I’ve confirmed three times regarding the target’s location. It is in a secret chamber below the Sorrowless Lake in the campus.”
The masked girl bragged. “I spent three years to obtain this!”
“Given Sun Mo’s trust and generosity toward you, you can simply tell him you want to learn it. He probably wouldn’t reject it, right?”
The Daynight Starlord frowned.
“Sun Mo didn’t learn the Great Dream Heart Sutra. He might be worried that others might say he is only marrying An Xinhui because he wants to become the owner of the Central Province Academy.”
The masked girl explained, “Sun Mo is a very proud man and would naturally avoid such pitfalls. Moreover, he knows over ten peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts. He doesn’t lack this Great Dream Heart Sutra!”
The Corona Starlord shrugged and continued asking. “What about the old headmaster? Did he show any signs of awakening?”
Everyone knew that Mei Yazhi had concocted a Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill and gifted that to Sun Mo. If there were no unexpected incidents, he would surely use the pill to save the old headmaster.
“Nope!”
The masked girl cast a glance at the sky outside. “I should leave now. The 1-star examination is going to begin tomorrow and I still have many things to do.”
“Sure.”
The Daybreak Starlord waved his hands.
After the three Starlords finished reading the info report, they continued to chat and drink. To them, even if the old headmaster awakened, he wouldn’t pose any threat whatsoever.
For this mission, a total of three secondary saints and a dark saint from the Dark Dawn was mobilized. They had a 90% chance of succeeding.
‘When dawn rose, a rose-tinted streak painted half the sky.
During the early morning, there were already a large number of examinees gathered before the Central Province Academy. Some felt trepidation, some were calm, some wanted to pee due to anxiousness and were asking people for directions to the latrine.
“T heard that Ancestor Sun is the main examiner this time around. He has rejected the invitations of aristocratic descendants that wanted to form a good relationship with him. This exam will probably be the one with the most fairness!”
“What are you blindly talking about? The great teacher examinations have always been very fair!”
“Your words can only cheat kids!”
The students spoke among themselves, and each shared the news they heard. In any case, all of their evaluations of Sun Mo were exceedingly good.
“We don’t have to care if others cheat. As long as we score well, Ancestor Sun will be able to see it. At that time, our chance of remaining in the Central Province Academy would be much greater.”
The current Central Province Academy was too difficult to join. Hence, many examinees wanted to obtain good results through this exam to move Sun Mo, pushing the door to join the Central Province Academy open.
Because of this reason, some intern teachers, who hadn’t planned to participate in this exam originally, also chose to participate now. There were even graduates from the Nine Greats among them.
Right now, Sun Mo was the brightest golden plate in the Nine Provinces.
If one could become his colleague, it would be of tremendous help to one’s future career.
At 7.50 am, the school gates opened.
Boom!
The examinees had waited a long time to the point that they felt extremely anxious. Hence, they were like a great flood gushing toward the school gate. They wanted to quickly enter to familiarize themselves with their individual exam venue. But at the next instant, those people before them seemed to
have pressed the stop button. They directly froze on the spot.
“What are you doing? Move quickly?”
“Don’t quarrel. Ancestor Sun is at the gate!”
“What?”
Upon hearing that Sun Mo was at the gate, the people behind immediately quietened down and adjusted their dressings. They even did their best to smooth the wrinkles in their robes.
“Why are you guys in a daze? Quickly enter.”
Sun Mo didn’t have the demeanor of a strict teacher. Rather, he had a smile on his face and greeted everyone amiably. “Do your best!”
“Good morning, Ancestor Sun. I’ll definitely work hard and do my best to be worthy of joining your school!”
An examinee bowed to Sun Mo before entering the school gate.
“Good morning, Teacher Sun!”
“Good morning, Ancestor Sun!”
‘The examinees at the back acted the same way too. When they passed by Sun Mo, they would take the initiative to bow to him and greet him as ‘teacher’ or ‘ancestor’.
Sun Mo indicated that there was no need for this, but everyone was very persistent.
“Your prestige is so great!”
Gu Xiuxun’s lips twitched.
(I, the #17th ranked beauty, am standing here, yet they actually don’t want to take a look. What a waste of my time. I woke up at 6 a.m. to doll myself up carefully.)
Actually, some men did notice Gu Xiuxun, but who would dare to casually look at women before Sun Mo? What if their actions disgusted him?
Speaking of which, it was still Sun Mo’s ‘prestige’ being too great, and no one dared to offend him.
Time passed very quickly. 8.30 a.m. arrived, and the bell signaling the start of the examination rang out.
The examinees immediately started their exam.
For a time, only the sounds of writing brushes answering questions could be heard, exuding the feeling of a nervous atmosphere.
‘As the main examiner, Sun Mo didn’t need to supervise a single classroom. He was to patrol around. Moreover, he could choose not to do that if he was lazy. But Sun Mo was a man of integrity.
‘Three 1-star great teachers followed behind Sun Mo to patrol the school. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
“am I very frightening?”
Sun Mo’s voice was very low. The examinees wouldn’t be able to hear it.
“No!”
The three hurriedly shook their heads. They were newbies that had only joined the great teacher world for two years. Only people like this would be qualified to become assistant examiners.
“Since that’s the case, there’s no need to be nervous. Just do things gutsily!”
Sun Mo’s tone contained a slight reproach. “You guys only care to act respectfully before me, yet you have forgotten your job. That’s irresponsible.”
“We know our mistakes.”
The three assistant examiners lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes. After that, they started to imitate Sun Mo and stare toward the classroom. However, they felt that this action was excessive.
Each exam venue had three monitoring examiners. In the past, the ranks would be one 3-stars, one 2-stars, and one 1-star. But because of Sun Mo, many 5-stars and 6-stars came this year. If those examinees wanted to cheat before such high-ranking great teachers, it was simply a foolish fantasy.
‘When Sun Mo climbed to the second floor and was passing by the #206 classroom, he suddenly stopped and looked at the examinees inside through a window.
The three assistant examiners hurriedly halted as well.
Roughly 30 seconds later, Sun Mo turned and glanced at them.
Min?”
The three of them immediately tensed like mice encountering a cat.
“What’s going on? Could it be that there’s someone cheating?”
A thought flashed through their minds. They immediately widened their eyes and peered into the classroom.
There were no problems!
All the examinees had their heads lowered and were answering the paper. They all look very focused!
“Did you see that cheating examinee?”
Sun Mo asked.
The three assistant examiners were in despair. They had originally planned to give Sun Mo a good impression so they could stay in the Central Province Academy to work. But now, their hopes were all dashed…
