Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 1318 – Competition Starts, Saint Gate’s Three Holy Items!

Chapter 1318 Competition Starts, Saint Gate’s Three Holy Items!

The selection of the sect lord was a big matter that all citizens were concerned about. Many people were waiting for the results and there were even gambling setups for it.

Therefore, when Sun Mo came and decided to contest for the sect lord position, the next morning, everyone in the city, of all genders and ages, found out about this matter.

They were then astonished by this.

It was because Sun Mo was a secondary saint now. This was a height that only a minority of the great teachers would be able to achieve.

“Open the door! Open the door! I want to place a bet that Secondary Saint Sun will win!”

“Not this Secondary Saint Sun! It’s Sun Mo!”

“Oh, we’re still rushing out the slips to bet on Sun Mo!”

The people at the gambling dens found this to be a headache. They had only made slips for the secondary saints and saints, but with Sun Mo chipping in just like that, it suddenly increased their workload.

Moreover, the troublesome thing was that there were many people who wanted to bet on Sun Mo.

Of course, this was a big gambling den and the processes were stricter. Those small gambling dens weren’t as strict and thus people could buy in easily.

The only problem was that the host could run off and people couldn’t cash in on their winnings. The outside world wasn’t the only one in such a great commotion. Even within the Saint Gate, the great teachers were all agitated, trying to guess if Sun Mo would be able to make history.

Sun Mo saw Lu Zhiruo at Su Taiqing’s villa.

When the papaya girl saw Sun Mo, she immediately pounced into his arms, hugging him and sobbing non-stop.

“Don’t be scared! I’m here now!”

Sun Mo stroked Lu Zhiruo’s back and consoled her.

“Why is Zhiruo’s surname not Su?”

Gu Xiuxun was very puzzled. “Moreover, given Su Taiqing’s situation, it seems that very few people know about her?”

The masochist found this unbelievable. If she were the sect lord, she’d definitely keep her daughter by her side. This way, if her daughter were to venture out in the future, people would show her more care.

“She probably took her mother’s surname.”

Mei Ziyu analyzed, “As for the fact that no one knows that Lu Zhiruo is the sect lord’s daughter, it’s probably because Su Taiqing knows that she doesn’t have any talent and wishes for her to be an ordinary person.”

“That’s true!”

Gu Xiuxun could accept this reason.

Lu Zhiruo’s aptitude was too bad and could only become a 1-star great teacher. Since this was the case, she would be insignificant even in an ordinary family, let alone that she was Su Taiqing’s daughter. She’d definitely be looked down on by others with strange gazes.

During this time, Lu Zhiruo hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. But now that she saw her teacher, her unsettled heart finally calmed down.

The sky gradually lit up!

Given how precious great teachers’ time was, it mustn’t be wasted easily. Therefore, the Great Teacher Competition was going to be conducted today.

The participants were a total of 14 secondary saints. They weren’t given any preparation time for the competition.

Among them, Sun Mo was the youngest while Bao Dewei was the oldest. He was already 721 years old. With his lifespan, even if he became the sect lord, he wouldn’t be able to do it for many years. However, if he wished to compete, no one could stop him. The Saint Hall was the most important building in the Saint Gate. Not only were there 24 statues of saints who had contributed greatly to the development of the Nine Provinces, but there were also the Saint Gate’s three great treasures.

Usually, other than the sect lord, other people weren’t allowed to enter this place.

Today, this place was opened to all great teachers. However, those who could enter were 7-stars or higher, as well as the 14 secondary saints’ supporters. “Teacher!”

Lu Zhiruo held Sun Mo’s hand, feeling very anxious. “After I’ve become the sect lord, you’ll still be the Saint Gate’s princess!”

Sun Mo rubbed the papaya girl’s head.

The low star-level great teachers stood outside the hall and looked inside, scratching their heads anxiously, having a strong wish to be able to view the competition in person.

Suddenly, a commotion rang out outside and a white-haired middle-aged man dashed in.

He looked very ferocious, his face filled with grief, anger, and dissatisfaction. He knocked his way through the crowd.

“Vice Sect Lord, you cannot enter!”

The two guards standing outside the hall immediately dashed up to stop him. “Scram!”

Liang Hongda pushed them away. “I’ve bled for the Saint Gate and risked my life for it! Why can’t I enter?”

The guards felt very helpless about this. (This was instructed to us by a major character, what can we do about that?)

However, they were unable to stop the enraged Liang Hongda.

Everyone in the hall turned and looked toward this crazy guy.

“Xu… Why can’t I take part in the Great Teacher Competition?”

Liang Hongda wanted to curse, but he was unable to say a saint’s name.

“Are you a secondary saint? Or are you a saint?”

Xu Chunbo’s countenance was icy-cold. “But I’ve contributed to the Saint Gate for many years!”

Liang Hongda’s mentality collapsed. He glared at everyone with bloodshot eyes. “Shouldn’t my hard work and efforts be taken into consideration?”

After Su Taiqing’s disappearance, even though Liang Hongda had tried to look very sad on the surface, he was overjoyed inside. He hoped that Su Taiqing would never come back.

If that happened, he would be able to take over the position of the sect lord temporarily or even assume the position officially. However, the brutal reality was like an ogre’s cudgel. Not only did it hit him hard on the head, but it also pierced into his anus violently, letting him understand what was called a double pain in heaven and earth.

Just a week after Su Taiqing’s disappearance, he was made a figurehead in his vice sect lord position.

The reason came down to the fact that he was just a 7-stars.

“Even if you were made the sect lord, would you be able to suppress these secondary saints?”

Xu Chunbo reproached, “Stop making trouble! Otherwise, it’d look bad for everyone!”

“I…”

Liang Hongda wanted to say that he could, but before he could finish his words, many sharp and powerful gazes stared at him.

These gazes were sharp as blades, and the pressure they emitted made Liang Hongda feel as if he was being executed.

“Look! You can even talk!”

Xu Chunbo waved his hand impatiently. “Hurry up and leave!”

He had always not liked Liang Hongda because the latter was too materialistic and opportunistic. He had forgotten that to become the Saint Gate’s sect lord, one must first be a good great teacher. “I… I…”

Liang Hongda was dejected and turned to leave. When his gaze landed on Sun Mo once again, he exploded. He dashed toward Sun Mo and launched a heavy punch.

He was overwhelmed with jealousy.

Before Sun Mo made a move, the women who were with him-An Xinhui, Mei Ziyu, Jin Mujie, and Murong Mingyue-blocked in front of him.

However, their attacks were useless too. It was because Xu Chunbo and Wei Ziyou made a move. They didn’t seem to have moved, but Liang Hongda was sent flying.

Before he landed, more attacks landed on him.

These were from other great teachers.

After all, this was a great opportunity to do a favor for Sun Mo. No one could bear to miss out on it.

“Take him away!”

Xu Chunbo instructed.

The guards quickly did as they were told.

Liang Hongda was seriously injured and rendered unable to move. However, his gaze when looking at Sun Mo was filled with jealousy. (He is only so young, but he is able to stand here.)

(On the other hand, I’ve been waiting for this chance for 100 years but didn’t get it!)

“Alright, we’ve been held up by a small matter. The competition to decide on the sect lord will start officially. I shall make use of my age today and act as the judge!”

Xu Chunbo sat on the wheelchair and his sharp gazes swept across all 14 secondary saints.

He was going to die soon anyway and wasn’t afraid of offending people. Therefore, he was going to do this last job properly and hand the sect lord position to someone dependable.

Everyone quickly bowed to express that they had no objections.

“Then I’ll dive into the topic!”

Xu Chunbo’s countenance turned solemn. “Everyone here are secondary saints and are outstanding regardless in terms of learnings, character, or achievements. It’ll probably be hard to decide on a victor based on these things. Therefore, we’ll leave these topics for the last as backups!”

Everyone perked their ears and listened attentively. Judging on what Xu Chunbo said, there was going to be a great profoundness behind the competition.

“Everyone knows that the Saint Gate has three holy items. Today, we’ll use these three holy items to test if you guys have the right to lead over the entire great teacher world of the Nine Provinces!”

Xu Chunbo said in a loud voice, “The first round. Testing one’s initial intent! “Some great teachers forget about their earliest intent in becoming a great teacher after achieving success. They become debauched in pleasure-seeking. This is a great blasphemy to the great teacher title.

“As the guides who point out roads for the students, no matter how great the achievements attained, even if they have become saints, great teachers should keep it in mind that their original job is being a teacher!”

“Today, we’ll test to see which ones of you have had a change of heart!”

Xu Chunbo cupped his hands, then bowed, and greeted, “Invite the holy seal!”

Swoosh!

All the great teachers presented quickly bowed at a 90-degrees angle, saying respectfully, “Inviting the holy seal!”

A team of 12 guards lifted out a huge altar table and placed it in the middle of the hall. There was a box made from extremely sturdy material.

After that, Xu Chunbo removed the lid of the box, and everyone could see a jade seal that was the size of half a watermelon rest inside it.

Gu Xiuxun opened her eyes wide. This jade seal looked very ordinary!

“This jade seal was rinsed with the blood of the first saint. Thereafter, every saint that could have their names and statues placed in the Saint Hall would use their blood to nourish it.”

Xu Chunbo introduced, “As time passed, it gained a spiritual intelligence. People who aren’t great teachers or have no teaching ethics won’t be able to pick it up. That’s why we address it as the holy seal.”

“For this round, all 14 secondary saints will write down your comprehensions, initial intents, pursuits, goals, or similar things for becoming a great teacher. Anything works. You’ll then use the holy seal to leave a stamp print on it!”

“Which of you will go first?”

None of the secondary saints moved.

“Zhiruo, does this holy seal have any profoundness to it?”

Gu Xiuxun got up close to Lu Zhiruo’s ear and asked quietly. “I don’t think so?”

The papaya girl had no idea either. When she was young, she had played with this holy seal before. But other than the fact that it felt warm like a hot water bag, it didn’t seem any special.

Everyone felt curious too. After all, although they had heard of this holy item before, they hadn’t had the chance to look at it.

“Why don’t Secondary Saint Sun start first?”

Secondary Saint Zhou smiled. “You’re the youngest, we’ll let you go first!”

The others immediately agreed. Letting Sun Mo go first was both to see his capabilities as well as taking the opportunity to see the holy seal’s effect. It’d be killing two birds with one stone.

“Everyone here is my senior. How can a junior like me dare to go first?”

Sun Mo refused.

He didn’t really want to get the sect lord position that much, so he had a calm attitude toward this competition. As long as Secondary Saint Zhou wasn’t the one to get the position, anyone else would work.

“Secondary Saint Zhou, since everyone is being so modest, why don’t you go first?” Sun Mo smiled. “You can serve as an example to us youngsters!”

Hearing this statement, Secondary Saint Zhou stopped talking. He was bent on getting the sect lord position and thus would definitely not take any risks.

“What are you guys up to?”

Xu Chunbo was displeased and his countenance turned grim. “If you’re scared, then withdraw from this competition immediately!”

After saying that, he then turned toward Sun Mo. “Sun Mo, don’t be wishy washy. You’re the youngest. You’ll go first!”
