Absolute Great Teacher - Chapter 1317

Chapter 1317 Do I, Sun Mo, Not Deserve To Have a Name?

There were more than 30 secondary saints present, but only 13 people raised their hands. Even if people didn’t wish to admit it, distinctions still existed amongst people. Take for example rich people. Multimillionaires and billionaires were definitely not on the same level.

This was the same for these secondary saints as well.

The ones who raised their hands were all major characters who led their own powers. Just a stomp of their foot could cause a great earthquake in the great teacher world.

As for the other secondary saints, some of them didn’t have enough rights, and some of them were devoted to their researches and couldn’t be bothered to get involved with such matters. The reason they came this time was just to show support for their good friends. Of course, it was already considered a lot for 13 people to be contesting for the sect lord position. After all, a Great Teacher Competition between secondary saints wasn’t commonly seen.

“Alright, the number of participants is decided. Then let’s not have any delays and start the competition tomorrow!”

Xu Chunbo announced.

Even though time was tight, no one had any objections. It was because these high star-level great teachers were all major characters and were very busy. “Since the matter has been decided, everyone can go back!”

Wei Ziyou got up.

His body condition had recently been very bad. If it wasn’t because the matter of deciding the sect lord was of great importance, he wouldn’t have come.

“Hmph!”

Chen Zhiming swung his sleeve and was the first to leave. However, when he reached the door, he stopped. It was because Sun Mo came in, accompanied by a group of beautiful ladies. “Haha, Teacher Sun, you’ve become accomplished as well after not seeing you for several years!” Chen Zhiming teased.

The others were very envious of Sun Mo’s luck with great beauties when they saw the pure-hearted An Xinhui, the gentle Mei Ziyu, and the fair and curvy Jin Mujie.

Let alone the fact that there were still Murong Mingyue and Gu Xiuxun, who were both top-notch great beauties as well. “Hello!”

Sun Mo smiled, not addressing him with honorifics. It wasn’t out of disrespect, but that he really didn’t know what this person’s name was.

Seeing this, Chen Zhiming’s countenance changed slightly. He felt that he had been looked down on.

“Secondary Saint Chen, please don’t hold it against him. My fiancé is usually devoted to teaching and educating people, so he doesn’t know much about the important figures in the great teacher world.”

An Xinhui explained and quickly reminded Sun Mo, “This is the Westshore Military School’s Secondary Saint Chen. He specializes in battle formations.”

“Thank you for your praise!”

Although Chen Zhiming was displeased, he thought about it and felt that Sun Mo shouldn’t have been treating him poorly intentionally.

Sun Mo was young but had broken all sorts of records consecutively, becoming an 8-star great teacher. Someone like him would definitely have devoted all his energy and time to his studies. It was true that he wouldn’t go and find out who were secondary saints and saints.

It was because that was both meaningless and not necessary.

Many great teachers knew well about the major characters in the great teacher world. Other than out of an interest to partake in gossip, they also hoped to meet these people one day. They’d then be able to seek their guidance or even curry up to them.

But Sun Mo?

He was someone for others to curry up to. “Sigh, young and arrogant!”

At the thought of this, Chen Zhiming broke out in smiles once again.

There was no helping it. He didn’t wish to offend this tyrant-scholar magnate who possessed the God Hands and many unique spirit runes.

(Thankfully, I’m a 9-stars secondary saint. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have any sense of superiority when facing him.)

Chen Zhiming looked at Sun Mo’s atrociously young face and a hint of jealousy gushed out in his heart.

“Secondary Saint Chen!”

Sun Mo cupped his hands together.

At the sight of this scene, many great teachers turned their heads.

Wasn’t this Sun Mo too arrogant?

He should at least lower his head a little even if he didn’t bow to greet, right?

After all, the person standing before him was a secondary saint, a major character who could listen to holy words. There were just several tens of them in the entire Nine Provinces.

Hence, some commotion broke out in the hall, and all of them targeted Sun Mo’s attitude.

Chen Zhiming’s countenance turned grim once again. He was in a bit of an awkward situation now.

He didn’t wish to throw his temper outright and ignore Sun Mo. After all, he did yearn for Sun Mo’s inventions. But if he didn’t flare up, wouldn’t it be bad for his reputation as a secondary saint when he was seen by so many people?

(Sun Mo, you’re too arrogant!)

Chen Zhiming felt upset and was thinking about how to get himself out of this situation when Secondary Saint Zhou spoke up. “Secondary Saint Chen, how are you going to get others to be convinced by you if you were to become the sect lord like this?”

The mockery in his words was obvious.

“Sun… Hmmm?”

That bootlicker Zhao Gang had wanted to take this opportunity to lash out at Sun Mo, but he suddenly realized that he was unable to call Sun Mo’s name. What the hell was this?

“Teacher Sun, have you been well recently?”

Wei Ziyou smiled and greeted Sun Mo.

“Headmaster!”

Sun Mo quickly greeted him. When he was at the Jixia Academy, this headmaster had admired him and shown him great care.

“Headmaster!”

Mei Ziyu also greeted Wei Ziyou sweetly. “Sun Mo, you’ve really hoodwinked our beautiful treasure. Isn’t it time for you to complete the wedding now that you’re back?”

Wei Ziyou changed his way of address, not to keep Sun Mo away but to show his closeness.

He treated Mei Ziyu like his granddaughter and thus hoped that Sun Mo didn’t continue to drag out this matter.

“Grandfather!”

An Xinhui walked up to An Zaiyi’s side and bowed to greet him.

An Zaiyi paid An Xinhui no heed but held his gaze on Sun Mo. His gaze was gradually filled with astonishment and surprise.

Sun Mo felt a little awkward. This topic wasn’t that easy to reply to. Of course, he didn’t wish to let Mei Ziyu down. But his fiancée and her grandfather were both here. Moreover, Gu Xiuxun’s gaze was also filled with resentment.

Hehe!

Jin Mujie was amused. (Who asked you to get involved with so many women?)

(You don’t have the capabilities, but you want to keep so many beauties by your side. You’re finally suffering from it, right?) “Everyone, if you want to catch up, shouldn’t you go back to the hotel?”

Secondary Saint Zhou walked over. “Can you not block the entrance?”

Sun Mo sized up Secondary Saint Zhou and didn’t greet him. Instead, he asked Wei Ziyou, “Saint, what are the results in regards to the sect lord position?”

“Regardless of what the result is, it has nothing to do with you!”

Secondary Saint Zhou lashed out. He felt furious to see that Sun Mo didn’t bow to greet him. He had the right to teach Sun Mo a lesson as he was a secondary saint.

However, Secondary Saint Zhou was magnanimous, plus he didn’t wish to apply pressure on someone else with his status in public. “How do you know that it has nothing to do with me?”

Sun Mo retorted.

“Heh heh!”

Secondary Saint Zhou was amused as he thought to himself, (You’re putting out your head for me to hammer. I’d feel bad if I don’t take you up on it.) Therefore, he swung his right sleeve, put his right hand to his back, and then looked at Sun Mo with an air of superiority.

“Sun Mo, remember this, only secondary saints and saints have the right to contend for the sect lord position!”

Secondary Saint Zhou wanted to teach Sun Mo a lesson here, but the bootlicker Zhao Gang became anxious. It was because he tried to call Sun Mo’s name again but didn’t succeed.

This could only mean one thing. Sun Mo was a secondary saint! (My god, this is really freaky. He is still so young!) (I’ll have to hurry up and stop boss. Otherwise, he’ll make a fool of himself.)

“Secondary Saint, Sun… Sun…”

Zhao Gang didn’t wish to address Sun Mo as Secondary Saint Sun, but he was unable to call Sun Mo’s name either. Therefore, he could only stutter away. Before he could finish his sentence, Secondary Saint Zhou was already done with his retort.

This was bad!

Zhao Gang put his hand to his forehead!

“Is a secondary saint very amazing?”

Sun Mo sneered, “Didn’t you just eat a few more years of rice than me? Oh, no, I was wrong. It’s several centuries of rice.” “You…”

Secondary Saint Zhou was enraged.

Sssss!

Hearing Sun Mo’s words, everyone was astonished.

(Aren’t you being too arrogant?) “Sun Mo, please mind your words!”

Gao Ning chided, “You might be very amazing, earning a lot of glory. However, you shouldn’t look down on secondary saints. Moreover, even though you’re young, if you’re unlucky, you might never be able to become a secondary saint even if you were to grow old and die!”

“That’s right. Ascending to become a secondary saint requires great wisdom, strong determination, and great courage!”

The old lady, Fang Hong, also interjected. To secondary saints, this was the proudest thing in their lives. They would definitely not allow others to blaspheme this title.

“Teacher Sun, we’ve decided to pick the sect lord through a Great Teacher Competition!”

The elderly man who spoke was called Du Changgong. He came from a poor family. As his father was a woodcutter, the greatest wish he had for his son was to let his son join a wealthy family to work there and lead a stable life. However, he didn’t expect his son to become a secondary saint and brought glory to the family.

“If Teacher Sun doesn’t mind, why don’t we have a cup of tea together?” Du Changgong was giving Sun Mo a way out of the situation. He wasn’t someone who cared about titles and reputation. Hence, the reason he came to contest for the sect lord position wasn’t for himself, but for all the great teachers who came from lower backgrounds.

That was right. He was representing this group of people to stand up against the great teacher clans.

“How about we make it another day?”

Sun Mo noticed Du Changgong’s kindness and nodded at him. He then looked toward the others. “A Great Teacher Competition? Can you count me in?”

Everyone was first stunned and then burst out laughing

This Sun Mo was really too arrogant!

“Sun Mo, are you pretending to be a fool or do you really not know? Those who take part in the Great Teacher Competition must be at least a secondary saint. Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you think you’re worthy?” Secondary Saint Zhou lashed out.

There was no problem with secondary saints addressing each other by name.

Pffft!

Some people burst out laughing. It wasn’t easy to see Sun Mo being at a losing end of a quarrel. They’d be able to boast about this for many years.

“Rubbish, of course I understand this logic. Is your brain damaged? If I wasn’t a secondary saint, I wouldn’t have asked to be added!” Sun Mo smiled coldly.

“What? Sun… Sun… Oh f*ck! I can’t call him by his name anymore!”

“F*ck your mom! He’s really a secondary saint!”

“Isn’t this too unbelievable? How many years has it only been since he became an 8-stars great teacher?”

Everyone was completely stunned. They stared at Sun Mo with their eyes wide open, appearing even more furious.

Those who had mocked Sun Mo looked embarrassed.

“Secondary saint?

Gao Ning sized up Sun Mo carefully.

Fang Hong’s expression turned solemn. As for Chen Zhiming, he was first stunned before he heaved a sigh of relief.

(Thank goodness! Thank goodness!)

(If I were to lash out at Sun Mo earlier, I’d be the one being mocked now.)

As for doubting Sun Mo?

Please, what kind of situation was this?

If Sun Mo would dare to make such a joke, he could just wait to have his name tarnished!

Sun Mo shrugged and removed Unknown Obscurity.

A strange fragrance started to permeate the hall. Everyone here was high star-level great teachers and naturally weren’t unfamiliar to this scent.

Therefore, the hall sank into an awkward silence.

Sun Mo was too amazing, to the extent that people didn’t know what to say.

Even if they wished to praise him, they couldn’t seem to find suitable words to do so.

Secondary Saint Zhou’s countenance sank and turned extremely grim. “If you’re a secondary saint, why didn’t you say that earlier? Were you waiting to make a fool out of us?”

“Is your secondary saint title used to create disturbances?”

Sun Mo retaliated.

“Uhh!”

Secondary Saint Zhou was rendered speechless. Sun Mo’s excuse was too dignified, honorable, and upright. “Secondary Saint Zhou, let me ask you again. Do I have the right to take part in the competition?”

Sun Mo smiled coldly.

“Sun Mo, you think too highly of yourself. Do you know why only 13 out of so many secondary saints here take part in it?”

Since they had openly fallen out, Secondary Saint Zhou wasn’t going to hold back anymore.

“Isn’t it just because supporters are needed to form their own power? I understand!”

Sun Mo had been in the workforce before and knew that a lone person couldn’t take down the world. Therefore, he looked around. “I’m sure that all the great teachers here know my name and I don’t need to introduce myself. I’ll only say one thing here. If I’m given a slight spring breeze here today, I’ll definitely return with a spring in the future!”

Sssss!

Many great teachers were moved when they heard Sun Mo saying this. In such a situation, every word Sun Mo said would be a promise. The moment he couldn’t fulfill them, then his reputation and credibility would be ruined.

Many people were immediately tempted. They understood that Sun Mo was saying this to get people to support him. Because if one didn’t have any influence, they wouldn’t have the qualifications to compete for the position of sect lord. It might seem like there was no threshold for this Great Teacher Competition, but there was actually one.

At the very least, Secondary Saint Shi and Secondary Saint Hu from the Central Province Academy didn’t have the right to participate.. Now, it was time to choose sides.

Although no one said anything, many great teachers who were on good terms were communicating with each other with their gazes.

This was both an opportunity and a risk!

If they were to support Sun Mo now, they’d be offending Secondary Saint Zhou and even the other secondary saints participating in the Great Teacher Competition. However, they didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity either.

If Sun Mo was still an 8-stars, then everyone would definitely be unable to come to a decision. After all, it was too difficult for one to advance to become a secondary saint. However, he had become one. This meant that even if he couldn’t become a saint in the future, the accumulation he had now would be enough to last him for a lifetime.

“Sun Mo had too many good things in his hands!”

Some great teachers in the crowd thought of this and raised their hand.

“I feel that Secondary Saint Sun must have a name!”

“That’s right. Secondary Saint Sun is so young now. His future is limitless!”

“There’s no need to talk about the future. No one can compare with him now!”

Everyone fought to speak up without any hesitation nor did they wait for others to speak first.

If they were going to do it, they must be the first one to do so.

“Thank you, everyone!” Sun Mo cupped his hands. The over ten secondary saints’ expressions became extremely solemn. This was especially so for Secondary Saint Zhou. It was because it had only been one minute and one-fifth of the people in the hall had raised their hand.

“Grandfather!”

An Xinhui looked at An Zaiyi. He seemed very composed, not having the intention to raise his hand at all.

However, as the grandfather of Sun Mo’s fiancée, he’d be considered to be on Sun Mo’s side even if he didn’t raise his hand. “There’s no going against this wave!” Zhao Gang sighed and secretly raised his hand.

Secondary Saint Zhou was stunned. (Even my most loyal bootlicker is going to betray me?) Zhao Gang wore an aggrieved expression.

(What can I do?)

(I feel very helpless about it too!)

(Sun Mo is only 40 years old but you’re already so old. After you die, who will be able to protect me?)

(No, looking at the situation, Sun Mo’s influence isn’t much weaker than yours!) “Since the situation has become like this, I announce that Secondary Saint Sun has the right to participate in the Great Teacher Competition!”

Xu Chunbo had long since anticipated that this would happen.

In teaching and educating, what great teachers excelled in the most was to judge people. Sun Mo’s prospects were definitely the greatest in the Nine Provinces.

It was unless he were to die now!
