Chapter 909: The Dust Has Settled, a New Great Teacher Halo

Translator: Lordbluefire 

“Are things not over yet? Can everything just happen at once?!”

Many things had happened tonight.

Sun Mo cast a glance at Murong Mingyue. After that, he dragged his fatigued body and walked toward Wanyan Mei. He wanted to inspect how this princess was doing.

Murong Mingyue had given in to her fate and completely had no intentions of fleeing.

Actually, both Sun Mo and she knew that these people should be the troops of the Dragon Subduing Academy. The sound of their footsteps was very concentrated and hurried. It meant that there were many people.

Just as expected, very soon later, soldiers with armor that had the insignia of the Dragon Subduing Academy imprinted on them rushed in.

. 

Hua! Hua! Hua!

The soldiers notched their bows and aimed at Sun Mo and the other two.

…

Sun Mo was too tired. He had fought continuously and a large amount of his life essence had been absorbed by the dragon soul, causing him to feel extremely fatigued. Hence, he fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted for a few days.

Yet, during these three days, the upper-echelons of the Dragon Subduing Academy were quarreling non-stop. Up until now, they hadn’t even come to a decision about what to do.

There was no solution to this as all humans had selfish desires. After all, who didn’t want to become more successful?

A headmaster position in the top three of the Nine Greats was suddenly empty. As long as these people were great teachers with ambition, they would want to try and vie for it.

In the past, everyone had been suppressed by Xiao Fulong, but now he had died…

“Everyone, can we first push the topic of who is qualified to become the headmaster to the back of our minds? Let us settle Sun Mo’s problem first. I think An Xinhui will arrive soon. At that time, it would be difficult if we wanted to interrogate him.”

Someone suggested.

“A country cannot do one day without its king, the school cannot do one day without a head. We should first ascertain who is the headmaster and immediately summon the entire school for a meeting to placate the emotions of the teachers and students.”

“I agree. Right now, something has happened to the Dragon Subduing Academy. We cannot do anything to turn the situation around. So, we should try our best not to cause panic for everyone.”

“Interrogate Sun Mo? He’s a two-time champion, no, a three-time champion now. You still have to interrogate him? Have you lost your sanity?”

The people from the upper-echelons started quarreling, each sticking to their own opinions.

The suspicion on Sun Mo wasn’t great.

As his real identity was exposed, everyone knew that he was currently the most popular rising star. He had come to the Dragon Subduing Academy because the great teacher examination this year was held here. If not, he wouldn’t even need to be blamed for this.

This conclusion was thanks to his serious injuries and the testimonies given by the great teachers and students he had saved. If it hadn’t been for Wanyan Mei’s stubbornness, Sun Mo basically wouldn’t have come back to the school.

The only problem was that everyone died. The reason why the three of them could survive until the end was clearly because someone had spared their lives.

As for the actual reason, they would only know after Sun Mo woke up.

Some people were impatient and wanted to feed Sun Mo stimulative-type substances so he could wake up earlier. However, others didn’t permit them to do so.

After all, Sun Mo’s performance was truly too outstanding. In the future, if there were no unexpected accidents, he would be among the upper echelons of the great teacher world. For a rising superstar like him with unlimited potential, if they didn’t do favors for him now, could it be that they had to wait until he became a secondary saint before they started to do so?

At that time, they might not even be able to get to meet him.

To take a step back, even if Sun Mo’s progress was halted here, he was still a spirit runist ancestor and a grandmaster spiritual controller.

So, fame and talent still had many benefits. If not, Sun Mo would have long since been forced awake and had to undergo a strict and forceful interrogation to check if he had any connections with the Dark Dawn.

Sun Mo only woke up on the fifth day.

The doctor in charge of him immediately reported this to the upper echelons. An hour later, a middle-aged man walked in.

He was wearing a teacher robe that looked old but very clean. There was no hint of a school insignia nor stars on his chest. Hence, Sun Mo couldn’t tell what rank this person was at.

But this person should be very impressive because his aura instantly gave off the feeling that he was a major character.

“Teacher Sun, could we trouble you to describe the situation that night?”

After the middle-aged man spoke, he snapped his finger.

Pak!

A golden halo appeared above Sun Mo’s head, casting motes of light down, like flower petals being scattered.

When Sun Mo came in contact with the motes of light, he immediately felt warmth rising in his heart and his mood became calm. He looked at the middle-aged man and felt that this person was like the amiable uncle next door. Sun Mo was somehow willing to share all the secrets in his heart with this man.

Upon seeing this scene, the dragon soul was so shocked that all the scales on its body felt like they were being fried.

This great teacher halo was high-end stuff, and only top-level great teachers could comprehend it. Its effect was to let the target trust the caster unconditionally and open their heart, revealing everything.

This also meant that people who had been enveloped by the light of Beautiful Heart would have no way to lie.

“Damn!”

The dragon soul was so anxious that it started to spin around in circles. If Sun Mo revealed its existence, wouldn’t its imprisonment continue? It would be locked up in the Dragon Subduing Palace forever.

But as Sun Mo began to describe the things that had happened that night, the dragon soul quieted down.

Because it discovered that Sun Mo didn’t reveal some details. For example, the fact that Murong Mingyue was a traitor and its conversation with him, or how he used a spiritual divine language to bind it.

“He’s actually not influenced by Beautiful Heart? This new companion of mine is a little impressive!”

The dragon soul was shocked. It suddenly felt somewhat at ease.

Sun Mo naturally knew the halo Beautiful Heart. He also thought this was it for him, but as the light from the halo shone on him…

He discovered that he indeed couldn’t lie, but he could choose not to say some content. For example, he intentionally avoided speaking about Murong Mingyue.

He didn’t know whether the reason behind this was himself or the defensive attributes from the Battlegod Protection Halo.

“Rest well!”

After the middle-aged man finished asking, he comforted Sun Mo and left.

“This is a matter of the barbarians, yet they sent someone from the Central Plains to interrogate me? Seems like this person must be a major character.”

Sun Mo definitely couldn’t sleep. After all, this matter was too big. Two secondary saints and a saint died. In the great teacher world, this was equivalent to an intense earthquake.

“This time around, I’m afraid the Dragon Subduing Academy is going to decline greatly.”

Sun Mo felt a myriad of emotions, recalling the history of the Central Province Academy. Because of Dark Dawn’s action, the Central Province Academy stumbled from its peak and fell all the way to the bottom.

Luckily, they didn’t lose their school’s ultimate divine art, the Great Dreams Heart Sutra. But the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture of the Dragon Subduing Academy had entered Sun Mo’s pocket.

“Dragon soul, are you here?”

Sun Mo suddenly thought of a matter. “If Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves discovered that the dragon soul he captured doesn’t know the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture, would he come and find trouble for me?”

“Don’t worry. In terms of life characteristics. The dragon soul he captured is also ‘me’. After interrogation, even if it died, it would be a natural death.”

The dragon soul comforted Sun Mo. It then sighed, “However, the price of doing this is truly huge. At the very least, I will be in a weakened phase for several centuries. So, my companion, you have to protect me well.”

“Doesn’t this mean you cannot help me in battles?”

Sun Mo frowned. (You mean I have to be a nanny for you?)

“Wait for me to recover to my peak. At that time, you will become the king of all beasts in the Nine Provinces!”

The dragon soul painted a beautiful picture. “The one and only.”

“I’ll f*** your mom!”

Sun Mo wasn’t a fool. He naturally wouldn’t fall for such words.

If the dragon soul had to recover, where would the life energy it needed come from?

Naturally, it would absorb the life energy from Sun Mo. By doing so, it would cause his cultivation speed to reduce. After all, who could still run fast while carrying a huge burden like this?

Moreover, for a few hundred years?

Maybe he would die of old age before the dragon soul could recover to its peak.

“Comrade, your thinking is incorrect. Who says that I can’t help you just because I can’t fight? I have knowledge. After all, I’m from the ancient dragon race and have lived for several tens of thousands of years.”

The dragon soul was very unhappy because it was looked down upon.

“Is that so? You were imprisoned in the Dragon Subduing Palace for tens of thousands of years. What knowledge can you possibly have? Maybe how to daydream better?”

Sun Mo scolded.

“…”

The dragon soul was speechless. (Why is your mouth so smelly? Can’t we just have a good chat?)

“Alright, let me have some peace and quiet!”

Sun Mo lay down on his bed. Actually, he knew the dragon soul’s words weren’t wrong. Since he couldn’t depend on it for combat, he could still depend on its knowledge. After all, it had stayed for so many years in the Dragon Subduing Palace and must have encountered many people with shocking talents before.

(But my Darkness Illusion Dojo is also not bad!)

(Forget it. At the very least, I’ve obtained the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. I didn’t make a loss.)

“No. I have to display my value. If not, what if he disagrees the next time I want to absorb his life essence?”

Upon thinking of this, the dragon soul laughed. “I can see that you have almost fully recovered. Do you want to learn the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture? This is a divine art countless students of the Dragon Subduing Academy want to learn even in their dreams.”

“Next time!”

Sun Mo rejected with no hesitation.

“Eh…”

The dragon soul was dumbstruck. What sort of scenario was this?

(Are you using the strategy of ‘loosening the reins to grasp them better?’ You are definitely using it, right? Don’t panic, he must be trying to fight a psychological battle. Dragon soul, if you cower now, you will lose!)

The dragon soul knew that when it came to taming things, it was either the case of the eastern wind suppressing the western wind or the western wind suppressing the eastern wind. As for who would be the eventual victor, it depended on who was stronger.

“In the past, I always felt that the intelligence of ancient giant dragons was higher than other lifeforms. But now, it seems that it’s merely so-so.”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched.

“What do you mean by this?”

The tone of the dragon soul was filled with unhappiness.

“Firstly, since we have become comrades, you will definitely reveal this cultivation art to me sooner or later. If not, where’s your value? Also, I feel that when it comes to interaction, this is a process of mutual help. If only one side puts in the effort, do you think this sort of relationship can last for long?”

Sun Mo chortled.

“That’s for sure.”

The dragon soul kept feeling that Sun Mo was pressuring it and despising it for absorbing large amounts of his life essence.

“Moreover, this place is the Dragon Subduing Academy and there are too many major characters. If I learned the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture, what if I accidentally revealed a trace of it? Wouldn’t I be deader than dead?”

Sun Mo rolled his eyes.

If others knew he had learned their school’s ultimate divine art, he probably would no longer need to think about leaving the Dragon Subduing Academy in his entire life.

The dragon soul felt a lingering fear. It was speechless and could only remain silent.

Compared to Sun Mo, the dragon soul felt that it was a fool.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from the dragon soul +100. Friendly (310/1,000).

“That middle-aged man should be a major character from the Saint Gate, right?”

Sun Mo pondered. When he thought of Jiang Ji’s death, he suddenly felt that everything was so dull. This time around, he definitely would become the champion of the 3-star great teacher examination.
