Chapter 847: Encountering A Heavenly Headhunting Offer

Translator: Lordbluefire 

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.
