Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 1197 – Light Breeze Brushed Across the Chess, Another Amazing Performance!

Chapter 1197: Light Breeze Brushed Across the Chess, Another Amazing Performance!

Translator: Lordbluefire

This was how many people were. When they had one thing for over several decades, they’d naturally stop treasuring it.

“Do you know what that chess soul told me when I was trying to purify him?”

Sun Mo said in a deep voice.

“What?”

Qing Wuzi asked.

“It thanked you for helping him to realize his Chess Sage dream. Although he had talent, he died at a young age and wasn’t able to realize his dream. Furthermore, he wished for me to tell you that he was very apologetic about the harm he had brought you.”

Sun Mo let out a sigh. “Thereafter, before I completed the purification process, that chess soul has left by himself.”

“The reason why he hadn’t left in the past was that he couldn’t bear to do so. He felt that you wouldn’t really hate him. However, your ‘heartfelt words’ from earlier had hurt his heart!”

Qing Wuzi was stunned. He stumbled and fell onto the ground, breaking out in great tears.

Sun Mo looked toward the Great Xia’s royal prince group. “It’s just a victory over a chess battle. So what if we have to give up the first place to you?”

After saying that, Sun Mo turned to leave coolly.

Li Ziqi quickly followed.

(That’s right! I’m going to win the rest of the competitions anyway!)

Pa pa pa!

Seeing how domineering Sun Mo had replied to the Great Xia’s reproach of them cheating, the spectators all cheered.

Anyone who wasn’t blind could tell that the Great Xia were the ones who had cheated. Moreover, the last part where Sun Mo had educated Qing Wuzi was really filled with a great teacher’s flair!

Right now, a big gust of wind blew and moved the chess pieces.

Splash! Splash!

The chess pieces fell onto the floor.

Hua!

People at the spectators’ stand that could look down at the arena were all astonished and shot up to their feet.

“What’s going on?”

“What happened?”

“There seem to be words on the arena?”

The spectators all squeezed their way over.

That was right. The black and white chess pieces that had fallen onto the arena formed two big words, ‘thank you!’

This was clearly the chess soul thanking Sun Mo for helping him and Qing Wuzi bury the hatchet between them.

“Teacher!”

Sun Mo tugged at Sun Mo’s sleeves.

Sun Mo turned back, saw a light breeze brushing past the chess pieces, and smiled.

“I hope that you’ll be treated kindly by the world, even though life is always filled with harshness and deceit!”

Sun Mo wished in a loud voice.

The smile on his face was very light, like sunlight, like spring water, like the third lunar day of the year, filled with warmth!

Swoosh!

Golden light shot out of Sun Mo’s body and radiated in all directions.

Priceless Advice erupted!

The chess soul would become a wandering soul after leaving his host. He’d then eventually perish due to the lack of blood and energy supply after having depleted his remaining energy.

But now, under Priceless Advice’s effect, this chess soul that had been shackled by Go for his entire life had been purified.

He no longer had any other regrets!

Hu!

A great gust of wind blew the chess pieces all over the floor!

Splash! Splash!

The black and white chess pieces formed a sentence!

“Thank you! Please allow me to be so impudent as to address you with respect in the last moment of my life. Teacher Sun, thank you!”

The several thousand people around the arena who witnessed this scene were stunned.

This…

Had this mysterious chess soul also managed to break free due to Great Teacher Sun’s guidance?

The countenances of Xia Taikang’s group were all extremely grim.

Wei Wu`an assessed Sun Mo with an astonished gaze. The reason he had become a great teacher was only because he could. He hadn’t put in hard work into this. After all, he was going to be the Great Wei’s emperor in the future. Hence, he didn’t expect that a real great teacher was actually so amazing.

Jiang Yuzhen blinked her big and beautiful eyes, looking at Sun Mo with curiosity.

“Hope that you’ll be treated kindly by the world? Well said!”

Although Jiang Yuzhen was seen as a Military God candidate and liked the art of battle formations, it was because she had seen a lot of massacres and deaths that she respected life more than any other people.

Sun Mo’s words moved her a lot.

“That’s too cool! That’s really too cool!”

Lu Zhiruo grabbed Ying Baiwu’s arm and shook it vigorously. She felt that this was how a great teacher should be like. Not only would they be able to educate people, but they would give guidance to ghosts and dead souls as well.

“How much did you record?”

Qin Yaoguang held onto an image-recording stone and filmed while asking Tantai Yutang. “I’ve missed out on the ‘thank you’ in front.”

“I have everything!”

Although the sickly guy looked calm, he was filled with extreme admiration in his heart.

His teacher was really sharp.

“That’s great! This image-recording stone can definitely be sold for a great price!”

Qin Yaoguang could already imagine herself raking in big bucks.

“Grand Tutor Su, what do you think of this?”

The Qi Emperor asked. He was surprised as well. This Sun Mo was really amazing.

“We might have a new Saint in ten years!”

Grand Tutor Su felt very emotional. “When I was his age, I couldn’t be compared to him!”

Sun Mo returned to the Great Tang’s spectators’ stand.

It was because there was still a performance-based competition coming up and he couldn’t leave.

“Great Teacher Sun!”

Li Xiu didn’t know what to say and could only give a toast with a cup of tea.

At the sight of this, Li Ziqi was all smiles.

Her aunt was very proud and in the entire Great Tang, not more than three men could enter her eyes. And now, her teacher was one of them too.

Han Cangshui’s facial muscles twitched. He suddenly felt a little regretful to have come to Western Jing.

F*ck, till now, there had been nothing to show off his sense of existence. Everything had been covered up by Sun Mo’s glow. To an 8-star great teacher, this was a humiliation.

Li Xuan was suddenly a little regretful for having lashed out at Sun Mo.

Someone like him would definitely be a person of great power in the great teachers world in the future.

(Would it be too late if I were to apologize now?)

“The Eldest Princess is too polite!”

Sun Mo took the teacup and had a sip.

He didn’t seem to show any emotions on the surface, but he was all smiles in his heart.

He was raking in a lot from this.

The favorable impression points he was receiving were filling up his vision. 100,000, 200,000…

Ding!

“Congratulations, you’ve received a total of +257,000 favorable impression points!”

The system congratulated.

“System, are there many women who want to give birth to my children?”

Sun Mo had taken a brief look earlier. On average, the number of favorable impression points contributed by women were one-third more than the men.

“Please remain modest and keep your cool. You’ve only gone so far.”

The system said in disdain. However, it was true that Sun Mo’s looks had added a lot of points for him.

“In this round, the Great Tang comes in first place!”

The Qi Emperor announced the results. The Great Xia was second, the Great Wei was third, the Great Chu was fourth, and the Great Qi was fifth. This meant that no one had cheated and the ranking was done following the results of the matches.

“There’ll be a performance-based competition up next. Anyone from the respective countries’ royal prince groups can seek guidance from the grand tutors of other countries to have a performance-based match.”

There were three goals for such performance-based matches.

Firstly, it was to give the princes and princesses a chance to display their brilliance. After all, they had traveled such a long distance to come here, so they couldn’t just possibly serve as a foil, right? Secondly, it was to drag out time and give the audience more time to talk about investments and improve the economy.

The longer the competition drew out, the longer the tourists would stay in Western Jing. This would naturally bring about a huge raise for the local economy.

Thirdly, it was to let the main participants have a chance to take a break so that they could prepare themselves for the third Calligraphy Battle.

After the Qi Emperor said that, the four countries’ princes and princesses started moving urgently toward the spectators’ stand of the Great Tang.

The sight of this scene caused Han Cangshui’s countenance to become even grimmer.

No matter how stupid he was, he wouldn’t think that these people were here to ask him for a match.

No!

Maybe there was an exception?

Turned out that Han Cangshui had thought too much.

All the princes and princesses gathered in front of Sun Mo.

“Great Teacher Sun, please give me your guidance!”

“Great Teacher Sun! I bought your biography long ago and after finishing it in a day, I placed it on my pillow and would flip through it every night!”

“Great Teacher Sun, please take me in as your disciple!”

Some of them were reserved, while others wanted to grab this chance to shoot up to fame.

Amongst these princes and princesses, some of them clearly didn’t have the chance to rise to the throne. However, even salted fish had dreams. They felt that after becoming Sun Mo’s students, they might be able to rely on his support to fight for the throne.

No matter how bad things became, it couldn’t be any worse than how they were now, right?

“Even if Great Teacher Sun wishes to take in disciples, we should have priority. Why would you guys have the chance?”

The Great Tang’s princes and princesses were unhappy.

They felt as if the rice sacks from their home were stolen from them.

Suddenly, everyone got into a quarrel.

The other delegations’ grand tutors were feeling so awkward.

Li Xiu sneaked a glance at Han Cangshui. She felt that the reason her royal brother had let him be the leader of the delegation might have been a bad move. Yes, Han Cangshui was an ancestor-level alchemist, and the alchemical pills he refined were really precious. However, Sun Mo’s God Hands wasn’t bad either.

She didn’t expect that even the Qi Emperor was so greedy to have Sun Mo and had invited him to his palace many times.

“Great Teacher Sun’s popularity is really high!”

The Qi Emperor praised. “Yuzhen, aren’t you going to ask him for a guidance match?”

“No!”

Jiang Yuzhen shook her head.

These princes and princesses were too enthusiastic, and Sun Mo also wanted to get into a good relationship with the various countries’ royalty. Therefore, he didn’t refuse them.

“Let’s go for a lucky number six. How about I do six matches at once?”

Sun Mo got up to the arena and played against six opponents at the same time. He also gave them a handicap of three stones each.

“Can Teacher do this?”

Qin Yaoguang felt a little worried.

If one was too proud in a situation like this and ended up losing, it’d be too embarrassing.

“Don’t worry, Teacher is a grandmaster in Go. He’d definitely win even if he were to play ten matches at once!”

Li Ziqi was very confident in Sun Mo’s chess skills.

As expected, Sun Mo won against everyone.

Although the system would occasionally block off some of his abilities, the skill books it gave were all very good and wouldn’t be discounted.

Sun Mo’s skill in Go was at the national level.

What did it mean?

This meant that he was at the top of a country. Those who could compete with him wouldn’t exceed three to five people!

By the afternoon, Sun Mo started playing ten matches concurrently.

“Teacher won’t bring back another Chess Sage title, would he?”

Xianyu Wei was surprised. She felt that there was nothing her teacher couldn’t do.

Over two consecutive days, Sun Mo played a total of 60 matches and didn’t lose a single one of them. He showed an amazing performance again.

After resting for one day, the third round, which was the Calligraphy Battle from the four categories—zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting—officially started.

It was held in the morning as usual, but the weather wasn’t good. The sky was cloudy and a light drizzle fell.

“They say that those who are studious will have a graceful elegance that makes them stand out from the rest!”

The Qi Emperor spoke in a loud voice, “Everyone wants to be a person who is well-learned and can speak in verses and poems. No one wants to be at a loss for words when they see their beloved girl, being only able to say ‘I want to sleep with you!’”

Hearing this, Grand Tutor Su’s lips kept on twitching.

Laughters broke out amongst the crowd too.

“The Qi Emperor is as impracticable as always!”

Li Xiu shook her head and laughed. But someone simple-minded like him would definitely be very happy in life.

“All the princes and princesses have studied under great teachers since a young age and are very learned. Therefore, it’d be meaningless to test you guys on these things. Why not have something new?”

The topic decided for every Five Empires War Discussion could be traditional or decided by the emperor of the host country.. The impractical Qi Emperor was clearly up to something again.
