Absolute Great Teacher-Novel2

Chapter 890: Great Reward

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Teacher Sun, Student Xiao Ri`nan is willing to acknowledge you as my personal teacher and would like to devote myself under your tutelage!”

Xiao Ri`nan asked loudly and gave three kowtows.

The noisy surroundings fell quiet once again. The students looked at Xiao Ri`nan in surprise. Why did he request to acknowledge Sun Mo as his teacher at such a timing?

From the moment he entered the school, Xiao Ri`nan had gone around challenging people. After winning consecutive battles, he had made a name for himself. Then, many great teachers admired him and wanted to take him in as their disciple. However, he rejected all of them.

Some people felt that he was too arrogant and they wanted to see him suffer. However, Xiao Ri`nan had sat steadily on the top of his year by relying on his own aptitude without the guidance from any great teachers.

This was the reason why Wanyan Zhenghe was upset and wanted to mess with him.

Usually, no one would dare to retort Jin Country’s little prince, but Xiao Ri`nan did it. It was also because of this that his reputation went up even higher.

Xiao Ri`nan’s arrogance was well-known in the school. Everyone felt both jealousy and envy toward him because he’d definitely enter the tutelage of at least a 7-star great teacher.

But who’d have expected that Xiao Ri`nan would suddenly acknowledge Sun Mo as his teacher here?

“Given Teacher Sun’s results, he’s a good match for Xiao Ri`nan. There’s nothing wrong with that!”

“That’s right. Teacher Sun has obtained such horrifying results despite being so young. With time, won’t he become even better?”

“Xiao Ri`nan’s investing in Teacher Sun’s future. I have to say that this guy’s judgment is really good.”

The students couldn’t understand, but the surrounding great teachers quickly reacted to this.

In the future, Sun Mo would have the same connections as those high-star great teachers. However, Sun Mo’s divine arts were things that they couldn’t have.

Moreover, under Sun Mo’s tutelage, Xiao Ri`nan would definitely get the most resources if he were to become the eldest martial brother. Sun Mo would place more focus on nurturing him. After all, the eldest martial brother was the front of a great teacher.

If Xiao Ri`nan were to study under a high-star great teacher, he wouldn’t receive such treatment. It was because they’d have a lot of disciples.

This was what Xiao Ri`nan was thinking indeed.

(As expected of a genius who’s intelligent from a young age, he’s really smart.)

Beardie nodded his head.

Although such students had flaws here and there, they’d definitely succeed in life.

Sigh!

Sun Mo had gotten himself a good deal.

Song En`min knew Xiao Ri`nan too, and he would never dare to dream that such a student would go under his tutelage. However, this genius was now taking the initiative to ask to be Sun Mo’s student.

(Comparisons are really odious!)

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Song En`min +100. Friendly (510/1,000).

“Teacher Sun, congratulations on getting a good student.”

Song En`min offered his congratulations.

Sun Mo didn’t reply. He just looked at Xiao Ri`nan who was on his knees.

(Why isn’t Teacher agreeing to my request? Is he thinking of leaving me hanging for a while?)

Xiao Ri`nan kept his forehead to the ground, sensing the winter’s chill. He then couldn’t help but raise his head a little.

(No, it must be that Teacher has become very agitated and is suddenly at a loss for words.)

Xiao Ri`nan felt that he had given Sun Mo enough face.

Under the eyes of so many people, a genius like him was acknowledging Sun Mo as his teacher, recognizing Sun Mo for being an even more outstanding existence than other great teachers.

(Ha, Teacher Sun must be feeling very happy inside.)

At the sight of this scene, Sun Mo finally made his decision.

“Xiao Ri`nan, your talent is in spirit control. I don’t know much about this and am unable to teach you. It’s better for you to look for a better teacher.”

Sun Mo spoke up.

Swoosh!

The surrounding students were discussing amongst themselves softly, feeling envious that Xiao Ri`nan could learn Teacher Sun’s divine art and making guesses on the achievements he could reach in the future. However, when they heard this, they were a little stunned.

This... this was a rejection, right?

The great teachers looked at Sun Mo in shock.

In the great teacher world, such words meant rejection. It was a way of saving the students’ faces. But why?

(Aren’t you satisfied with a genius like Xiao Ri`nan?)

“Teacher Sun, this is Xiao Ri`nan.”

Song En`min reminded him softly.

“I’m more familiar with him than you are.”

Sun Mo nodded toward Song En`min and thanked his kind intentions. He then looked toward Xiao Ri`nan. “I stay by my word. You have extremely high aptitude in bug summoning, so you can try to work hard in this direction.”

An explosion was released in Xiao Ri`nan’s mind. He felt groggy for a while as if he had been crushed by a battering ram.

(I’ve been rejected? That shouldn’t be. Shouldn’t a genius like me be fought over by everyone?)

Xiao Ri`nan raised his head abruptly and looked toward Sun Mo. He couldn’t suppress the fury and upset feelings in his heart and questioned, “Why?”

“You should go think about the answer to this question yourself.”

Even if Sun Mo were to tell Xiao Ri`nan the reason, he wouldn’t be able to learn anything.

“I...”

Xiao Ri`nan’s fists clenched tightly and he was so angry that he was trembling. (I’ve rejected the recruitments from so many high-star great teachers and want to go under your tutelage, but you dare to reject me? This is ridiculous!)

Xiao Ri`nan, being proud and arrogant, stood up directly and turned to leave. After taking ten over steps, he turned back and threw a glance at Sun Mo.

“Teacher Sun, he’s still young. Even if he has some flaws, they can be corrected!”

Meng Tai, who had been watching from the side, couldn’t help but speak up.

He felt that there was something wrong with Sun Mo’s head.

Even if he were to self-study, he’d definitely be able to become a grandmaster-level spirit controller. It’d be like the great teacher had picked up glory for nothing, yet Sun Mo didn’t want him?

“He still needs to experience a round of setbacks.”

Sun Mo spoke honestly, “But Teacher Meng, you shouldn’t take him in. Although your spiritual control technique is very strong, both of you are not a good match since you’re not proficient in cultivation art.”

“Hehe, Teacher Sun, you said that Xiao Ri`nan was proud, but you weren’t bad either. Youngsters who have talent in spiritual control like him are really hard to come by. You’ll definitely regret it.”

Meng Tai smiled. Although he had been rejected once, he still wanted to give it a try. After all, geniuses were very rare and should get more partiality.

(You might not want him, but I don’t wish to give up on him.)

After Meng Tai said that, he turned to chase after Xiao Ri`nan. He felt that he could pick up the loot while the kid was feeling unstable.

“Hard to come by even in ten thousand people? Regret? I’m sorry, even our papaya girl would be able to give him a very overwhelming defeat.”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched.

“What happened just now? Does Teacher really reject Xiao Ri`nan?”

Xianyu Wei looked stunned. Her expression then turned into astonishment. She looked at Sun Mo with a baffled expression, asking subconsciously, “Why? He’s a lot more amazing than me.”

“No, in my eyes, you’re stronger!”

Sun Mo smiled, wanting to rub Xianyu Wei’s head. But he held it in.

There was no helping it. This girl was too tall. If he were to rub her head, he’d have to raise his arm. It’d feel like someone wanting to rub the head of a bear. It’d look disharmonious and not cute at all.

“Xianyu, you must work hard. Don’t let down Teacher Sun’s expectations!”

Before Song En`min left, he instructed once again.

“I will!”

Xianyu Wei nodded solemnly.

Only now did she understand that her teacher didn’t just accept any student. He didn’t even care for Xiao Ri`nan, who was publicly recognized as a genius. Therefore, being able to become his personal disciple was definitely a precious opportunity.

“Go pack up. We’ll be returning to the Dragon Subduing Academy.”

Sun Mo instructed.

“Hmmm? Are we not waiting for the Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony to end?

Xianyu Wei wanted to see who was going to come out in first place this year.

“You’re this year’s hunting king!”

Sun Mo teased.

With the glory that Xianyu Wei had brought him, Sun Mo felt that his result in the 3-star examination should be quite stable now.

Moreover, after this, there’d definitely be an overwhelming number of students coming to look for him. Sun Mo didn’t wish to be treated like a monkey and also wanted to slack off a little.

“I would have very few chances to come to the great plains in the future. I should make use of the remaining time to take a break and check out the scenery.”

Sun Mo looked into the distance.

“Why did you refuse?”

Duanmu Li, who had been silent all this while, felt a little curious too. “Speak the truth.”

“Xiao Ri`nan is a very smart child and works hard too.” Sun Mo sighed. “It’s a pity that he’s too smart.”

To speak the truth, the reason why Xiao Ri`nan wanted to study under Sun Mo was because he respected Sun Mo’s capabilities and wanted to learn them. He didn’t admire Sun Mo as a teacher from the bottom of his heart.

When his own interests were involved, Xiao Ri`nan would definitely put his interests above everything else.

“I hope that after going through this rejection, he can think about things seriously and consider the qualities he is lacking in.”

Sun Mo didn’t like how interest-driven Xiao Ri`nan was.

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining your tenth personal disciple. Based on your disciple’s potential value and performance, you’re rewarded with two mysterious treasure chests!”

Ding!

“Congratulations, as Xianyu Wei has undergone a complete transformation within three months under your guidance, succeeded in challenging herself, and won the hunting king competition, she is considered to have reached a small peak in her life. Therefore, you’re specially rewarded with one mysterious treasure chest and one great teacher emblem.”

The system’s notification, which he hadn’t heard for very long, gave two consecutive rewards.

Hu!

Sun Mo whistled. Putting aside the treasure chests, the great teacher emblem was a good thing.

Ding!

“Congratulations, you’ve harvested 100,000 favorable impression points within three days, completing the mission. You’re rewarded with one mysterious treasure chest. Please keep up the good work.”

Ding!

“Congratulations, you’ve managed to convince Xiao Ri`nan and let him willingly listen to your guidance. Moreover, he is also willing to acknowledge you as his teacher. You’ve exceeded the expectation and are rewarded with three mysterious treasure chests. Please keep up the good work.”

The system congratulated again and gave out more rewards. action

Sun Mo’s lips twitched. He had received three successive missions, and one of them was to clear the Dragon Subduing Palace and obtain the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. However, he probably wouldn’t be able to complete it.

“Be satisfied. Your performance has exceeded my expectations.”

The system was quite satisfied with the host it had chosen this time around. “One must learn to be satisfied with what they have. The Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture is the Dragon Subduing Academy’s ultimate divine art. Won’t you start to swell up and become arrogant if you were to get your hands on it?”

“Stop the crap. Open the chests.”

After obtaining seven mysterious treasure chests in one go, how could Sun Mo possibly be able to hold it in? He must leave.

“Start with opening two in a row!”

Sun Mo instructed.

Ding! Ding!

Amidst the crisp sounds, two treasure chests opened. Then, green light immediately flashed in front of Sun Mo.

Two time emblems floated in the air. One of them was a 30-year one and the other a 50-year one.

“F*ck your mom!”

Sun Mo was upset. What kind of luck was this?

It was horrible.

Sun Mo wasn’t lacking in favorable impression points now, so things like these that could be purchased with favorable impression points were trash.

“Do you still want to open more?”

The system asked.

“Of course! I’m not accepting this. Open two more!”

Sun Mo was unconvinced. (I must open a Concubine Yang today.. One that is piping hot and can be used.)
