Chapter 841: Sun Mo Becoming Famous Again!

Murong Ye wasn’t looking down on Sun Mo. But rather, people who passed all the trials and entered the Giant Dragon Great Hall wouldn’t obtain anything at all.

This was because they didn’t understand the dragon language.

Just like what Sun Mo had guessed, the Dragon Subduing Palace was created by the founder who had luckily found a wooden puppet, using it as a core.

The true ‘wealth’ of this place wasn’t to allow one to defeat the summoned draconic humans. Rather, it was the fact that after one passed all the trials, they would be able to gain the qualifications to communicate with a giant dragon.

If they obtained recognition from the giant dragon, they would be able to gain some valuable knowledge.

The majority of the time, the rewards would have to do with the study of beast taming.

After all, the giant dragon was a hegemon of the world, enslaving all lives.

However, the rarest of the rewards, and the one everyone wanted the most, was naturally the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. But although the Dragon Subduing Academy had existed for so many years, not even ten people had obtained this divine art before.

Naturally, the prerequisite of reaching this step was that one must know dragon language, or they wouldn’t be able to understand anything.

After a student or great teacher passed the trial, the headmaster would conduct a 3-year testing period. If they could prove their loyalty to the school, the headmaster would impart them the dragon language.

“Sun Mo broke the record.”

Beardie added.

“What?”

Murong Ye started. His hand, which was preparing to close the window, froze on the spot. “What record?”

“The speed clearing record!”

After Beardie finished speaking, Murong Ye’s face was filled with shock as he inhaled a breath of cold air.

“Are you sure?”

It wasn’t that Murong Ye wasn’t willing to believe, but this truth was too shocking.

One must know that the Dragon Subduing Academy was within the top three of the Nine Greats. They would recruit many geniuses every year. One could say that the geniuses of the grassy plains were all gathered here.

But did any of them break the record?

Nope!

The previous record was broken by their current headmaster when he was 30 years old. And from that time up until now, over 200 years had passed.

But now, an outsider had broken the record. This meant that Sun Mo was a genius that wouldn’t even appear in a hundred years in the Dragon Subduing Academy.

“Teacher Sun’s half-length portraits are now engraved on the walls.”

Beardie sighed ruefully and felt a little indignant. He felt that a man from the Central Plains had surpassed them.

“…”

Murong Ye wanted to curse.

Because Sun Mo’s images were already on the walls, this was definitely a reality.

“Speaking of which, I remember Sun Mo is only 21 years old, right?”

Murong Ye suddenly thought of a question.

“He should be 22 according to chinese calendar age. In any case, that’s extremely young.”

Beardie sighed. Let alone 22 years old, even if he broke the record at 30 years old, it was a matter worthy of huge fanfare.

If it was he who broke the record, this was sufficient for him to brag for his entire life.

“Vice headmaster, don’t delay things anymore. You should quickly headhunt him. If we could retain such a genius, our Dragon Subduing Academy’s competitiveness would be greatly enhanced in the next hundred years.”

Beardie was someone with the manner of a great teacher. He didn’t loathe Sun Mo because he was from the Central Plains and even wanted to recruit him.

“I know.”

Murong Ye’s expression was heavy. He also felt a lingering fear. (Luckily, I didn’t look for him in advance. If not, he would surely take offense at the price I offered.)

But after that, he started to feel a headache.

A great teacher that broke the record set by the current headmaster, he was also so young. This indicated that Sun Mo had boundless potential. (I don’t even know what price to offer now.)

“Oh ya, Sun Mo’s true features are obscured by a mask, right? What appearance is his image on the wall? Did he expose himself?”

Murong Ye thought of a matter.

“Nope, the image on the walls is the appearance of his disguised self.”

Beardie had personally gone to check it. At that time, he only felt endless envy in his heart.

For something like records, they would only become tougher and tougher to break as time went by. So, Sun Mo’s image might be here for a few hundred years.

During this period, the teachers and students of the Dragon Subduing Academy would immediately see ‘Sun Mo’ when they entered the Dragon Subduing Palace and would know his name. How great of a glory was this?

…

In the Draconic Human Great Hall, Xiao Di looked at the images on the walls and suddenly started to hammer his head violently due to vexation.

“Brother Xiao, what are you doing? Even if you are angry, you don’t have to beat yourself up!”

His comrades jumped in fright.

“I’m not angry. I only hate myself for not coming to this place earlier today.”

Xiao Di was depressed.

He was a very hardworking person, but it was necessary to strike a balance between work and rest. Hence, he would always give himself a day off each month, so he could sleep longer and slack off.

Who knew that he precisely missed out on this historical feat today.

(How many sins have I committed in my previous life? Could it be I had s*xual relations with mountain goats? If not, why would the heavenly deities treat me like this?)

Xiao Di felt so much regret that he wanted to cry.

That was an intense battle that broke the record, something that might not even happen in a hundred years.

Upon thinking of this, Xiao Di lifted his hands and slapped himself a few times.

“Brother Xiao, if you are really unhappy, go and find Sun Mo for a fight.”

After Jin Yan finished speaking, Xiao Di shot a glare at him.

“Are you in love with my girlfriend and want nothing more than for me to die?”

Xiao Di’s gaze was solemn.

“Brother Xiao, why do you say this?”

Jin Yan had a look of indignation on his face like he was insulted, but his heart was thumping furiously.

(It can’t be, right? My secret admiration was exposed?)

“After I fought with Teacher Sun, I originally thought that even though I was inferior, the distance between us was not large. Only now did I know that he has the strength to suppress me completely. He fought me equally for so long merely to use me to accumulate experience.”

Xiao Di rolled his eyes. “Even if my brains are damaged, I won’t fight him again!”

The little brothers here really wanted to ask a question. (Do you have a proper estimation of yourself? What do you mean by fighting you equally for so long?)

(You really know how to put gold on your face. Sun Mo fought you probably because he wanted to experience your Great Solar Evil Destroying Art. If not, he would have finished you right away.)

“You guys have to remember. In the future, if you see Sun Mo fighting the draconic humans, you all have to inform me immediately!”

Xiao Di instructed.

“No problem.”

Everyone agreed loudly, but if they really encountered Sun Mo fighting the draconic humans, who would bear to leave and not watch? It was a type of enjoyment the more they watched.

“Brother Xiao, there’s still the unlimited challenge mode, right? Maybe we can urge Sun Mo to try it?”

Batubu suggested.

Xiao Di’s eyes brightened. This was a good idea.

…

In the morning, the sun shone brightly.

The melodious sound of the bugle horn rang out for a long time, but Sun Mo still didn’t arrive.

The students gradually lost patience.

“What’s wrong? Where did Teacher Sun go?”

“Is he sick?”

“Even if he was sick, he would inform us in advance. Now that there’s no news at all, could some accidents have happened?”

The students discussed. In the end, they turned and tried to find Wanyan Zhenghe.

“That fellow has always acted impudently because of his status as the little prince of the Jin Country. I will make a complaint to my uncle. Teacher Sun is such an impressive spirit runist. If the little prince chases him away, it is definitely a huge loss to our Dragon Subduing Academy.”

A high-year student felt righteous indignation filling his chest at the injustice. He was the son of the Northern Court King and had a very high status.

Bang!

Wanyan Mei slammed her palm onto her desk. She felt that her elder brother must be up to something. Hence, she rose and left with a heavy expression, preparing to find trouble for her elder brother. But the moment she walked to the entrance, she ran into a guy.

“Teacher Sun has broken the record! He is now in the Giant Dragon Great Hall. There’s definitely no way he would come to class.”

“What record?”

Someone asked.

“The speed-clearing record of 36 kills. Half-length portraits of Teacher Sun are already engraved in the walls there. There’s definitely no mistake.”

After the male student spoke, the entire lecture theater fell silent as everyone had looks of disbelief on their faces.

The Dragon Subduing Palace was a holy ground to the children of the grassy plains. Even before they joined the school, they had heard legendary stories about it.

Taming giant dragons, soaring across the skies, dominating the Nine Provinces. This was the dream of every youth on the grassy plains. So, they knew how impressive Sun Mo was since he had broken the record.

At the very least, he was the first person to do so in hundreds of years at the Dragon Subduing Academy.

“Is this fake news?”

Someone doubted. “Teacher Sun is so impressive in the study of spirit runes, and his botany knowledge is also not weak as well. He definitely has spent a lot of time researching them. Would he still have time for cultivation?”

“Yeah, many hardworking geniuses in the school only sleep a few hours every day and focus the rest of their time on cultivation. But we didn’t see them breaking the record.”

“Wouldn’t we know if we go and take a look?”

Just when the students stood up and were preparing to head to the Dragon Subduing Palace, Beardie entered the classroom.

“Teacher Sun is ill today and I applied two days of leave for him.”

Upon hearing this, the students were stunned. After that, those great teachers in the classroom gathered together and proceeded to ask Beardie about the situation.

“Look at Teacher Sun’s status? Even great teachers are helping him to apply for leave.”

Some great teachers were envious.

…

Ding!

“Congratulations on breaking the speed record. Reward: 1x diamond treasure chest.”

The system congratulated, shocking Sun Mo awake.

“Where am I?”

Sun Mo felt a headache. Gradually, the memory before he fainted gushed into his mind.

“You woke up? Drink a mouthful of water!”

Mei Ziyu, who had always been waiting at the side, hurriedly poured a cup of hot water and passed it to Sun Mo.

“I didn’t think through things properly this time.”

Sun Mo felt a lingering fear. After he fainted, he completely lost any capability to protect himself. If someone wanted to harm him, he would end up as a fish on their chopping board.

In his heart, Sun Mo felt that he wasn’t a barbarian and might be subjected to different treatment by the giant dragon.

“This time around, the champion position won’t be able to run away from you. Sun Mo, congratulations in advance!”

Mei Ziyu teased.

“Haha, I want to be the champion, but I want the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture even more.”

Sun Mo laughed.

“Ah?”

Mei Ziyu didn’t understand. (Even if you acknowledge the headmaster as your godfather, it’s impossible for you to learn it. It is an ultimate divine art of the school and would only be passed down to direct descendants. One could say that if you are not a barbarian, you won’t be able to learn this.)

“This matter can’t be rushed. Let me ponder over it.”

Sun Mo looked out of the window and couldn’t help but start, “Ah, my classes…”

“There’s already someone who helped you apply for two days of leave. Just take a good break!”

Mei Ziyu rose. “What do you want to eat? I’ll go and buy something for you.”

“I’m fine.”

Sun Mo inspected his body. There were no abnormalities, but since someone had applied for leave for him, he decided to go and do some work at the ‘dead’ peach forest.

When he left later, they would bloom just in time to win the bet and bring Murong Mingyue with him. Mn, how marvelous.

Because those peach trees were a darkness species, their vitality was extremely strong. Although they appeared withered on the surface, as long as their roots were fine, they would immediately be able to ‘shine’ and have a reprieve from ‘death’ when the temperature was correct and there were enough nutrients.

Because Sun Mo didn’t have time to wait for them to slowly recover, he had to do things a step further and drew spirit rune lines on the withered trunks, reconstructing a spirit qi channel for them.

As long as there was nourishment from spirit qi, it wasn’t a difficult thing for them to bloom.

Sun Mo spent the entirety of his two days of leave in the peach forest. At the same time, he also had a new idea on how to communicate with that giant dragon and was prepared to try it out.
