Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 940 – Danger Incoming

Chapter 940: Danger Incoming

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Sun Mo!”

Murong Mingyue and Li Ruolan were given a fright as well. Why did he suddenly start to cough up blood for no reason?

Xuanyuan Po excelled in combat and didn’t know how to save people. Hence, he thought that someone had launched a sneak attack on his teacher, and he immediately held his spear, being wary of the surroundings.

“Teacher Sun, you mustn’t die. I have a life-saving alchemical pill here. Take it first.”

The female bootlicker Bai Xiqing was very nervous. She took out a porcelain bottle and wanted to feed the pill to Sun Mo.

As the plug was opened, a refreshing fragrance permeated the air, causing one to feel invigorated.

.

This alchemical pill was definitely of great value.

“Thank you, but there’s no need to be nervous. It’s just that the gu-bug Teng Wanye planted in my body.”

Sun Mo consoled everyone.

The seed that Teng Wanye had flicked out had hit Sun Mo in his forehead. It had turned into vines and bound onto his brain.

It would then intermittently release its poison.

The unlucky person who was planted with the gu-bug would be able to live if they could resolve it. But if they couldn’t, they’d die.

“Who is Teng Wanye?”

Li Ruolan hadn’t heard this name before. Even though she was a well-known beautiful female reporter, she didn’t have any way to obtain this highly classified secret.

“It’s Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves.”

Mei Ziyu explained.

“Who? Is it that saint from the Dark Dawn?”

Bai Xiqing screamed and looked at Sun Mo, stunned. “How did you meet this dark magnate?”

Li Ruolan had wanted to ask what the Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves looked like. But after seeing Sun Mo coughing up blood non-stop, she couldn’t get herself to ask.

“What should we do now?”

Li Ruolan was at a loss.

“You look like you’ve gotten food poisoning.”

Mei Ziyu checked Sun Mo’s body. “Does it feel like you’ve mistakenly taken the flowery mushroom?”

“En!”

Sun Mo nodded, revealing an understanding expression. “I understand a little how this ‘seed gu-bug’ works now. It’ll imitate the plants nearby based on their scents, creating a reaction that is similar to food poisoning. Therefore, in order to deal with it, one must possess extremely profound botany knowledge.”

This was really an amazing idea and method.

“Let’s not worry about this.”

Mei Ziyu got up. “I’ll go look for the antidote. You guys take care of him.”

“I’ll be troubling you.”

Sun Mo couldn’t move anymore. The flowery mushroom was a poisonous mushroom that could cause internal bleeding to the stomach as well as nerves paralysis.

What was the most amazing poison?

In Sun Mo’s opinion, it wasn’t something that was refined from 100 types of unparalleled poisonous items, but plants that already existed in the natural world. It was fine to eat them by themselves, but when mixed with other things or eaten in a large amount, one would die.

Poisonous things like these were the hardest to fend off against.

“Teacher!”

Ying Baiwu and Jiang Leng had returned. However, when they saw Sun Mo’s condition, they were both given a scare.

“I’m fine!”

Sun Mo leaned against a tree to get some rest. Very soon, Mei Ziyu found a few medicinal herbs, made a medicinal soup on the spot, and fed it to Sun Mo.

Bai Xiqing wanted to help, but Mei Ziyu didn’t give her a chance to interfere.

Other than Lu Zhiruo, the other students had all returned. All of them looked very worried. This was the Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves’s gu-bug. It was extremely serious.

“I’m a grandmaster-level botanist after all. Rest assured.”

Sun Mo smiled. “I’ll give my ratings from now on. Tell me your battle tactic when you snatched the beehive, as well as your comprehension in this process.”

“We will start from Ziqi!”

“I didn’t put in a lot of effort but mainly relied on Junior Martial Sister Yaoguang. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get the beehive.”

Li Ziqi gave all the credit to Qin Yaoguang.

“Eldest Martial Sister’s spirit runes are amazing. They burned all the bees.”

Qin Yaoguang flashed a thumbs-up.

“Ziqi, don’t say that. Your intelligence is your greatest wealth. You should have taken the initiative to search for allies.”

Sun Mo sighed. In this era, an individual’s battle prowess was more valued. People like Li Ziqi who relied on their brains didn’t enjoy high status.

“There’s no need to feel inferior. Regardless of the method used, as long as the problem is solved and the goal is achieved, it is considered successful.”

Sun Mo encouraged her.

“En!”

Sun Mo really treated her well.

People like her who were ranked at the bottom in terms of cultivation would definitely have no right to be the eldest martial sister under another teacher.

“Yaoguang, although what you did isn’t wrong, can you not be so lazy?”

Sun Mo knew that this girl would be able to get a beehive even if she was by herself. She was just too lazy to put in that effort.

“Hehe!”

Qin Yaoguang stuck out her tongue, handing a pearflower candy to Sun Mo. “Teacher Sun, eat this. It’s really sweet.”

Sun Mo pushed away the snack girl’s hand and looked toward Xuanyuan Po.

“Can you use more of your brains?”

Sun Mo felt helpless.

“When I encounter a problem that cannot be resolved by martial prowess, then I’ll consider using my brain.”

Xuanyuan Po said firmly, not showing any signs of repentance.

“What you mean by using your brains is actually just thinking on how to get stronger, right?”

Tantai Yutang chipped in.

“That’s right.”

Xuanyuan Po said matter-of-factly, “As long as I’m strong enough, any problems won’t be a problem anymore.”

“Xianyu, you have to work harder!”

After Sun Mo said that, everyone looked toward Xianyu Wei.

What did he mean by that?

“Huh?”

Xianyu Wei was stunned and then she quickly waved her hand. “I won’t be able to win against Senior Martial Brother Xuanyuan.”

“Come over here. I’ll help you heal your wound.”

Xuanyuan Po had been stung too, but his physique was very good and there was only slight swelling. However, the same couldn’t be said for Xianyu Wei. She had a few bumps on her head.

The reason why Sun Mo didn’t help to treat Xuanyuan Po was because he wanted to let Xuanyuan Po remember this.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Teacher, you aren’t feeling well, so you should just rest!”

Xianyu Wei refused.

Sun Mo felt very consoled. His disciples were all very sensible.

Jiang Leng and Ying Baiwu had a chance to win against Xuanyuan Po, but they were definitely not the type to take on someone head-on. To the combat addict, as long as his loss wasn’t a head-on fight, he didn’t treat it as a loss.

This was why Sun Mo needed Xianyu Wei to rely on her iron fists and brute force to crush Xuanyuan Po. Only then would he reflect on his character.

(You might be a genius, but there are greater geniuses in this world.)

At the very least, in terms of barehanded combat as well as a competition of force, there was no way that Xuanyuan Po would win against Xianyu Wei.

Jiang Leng and Ying Baiwu’s performance was very good, and they had only been stung a few times. However, given how densely packed the bees were, this bit of injury could be neglected.

Tantai Yutang was next. This guy had relied on poisonous smoke and didn’t get stung at all.

“You can learn medicine art from Ma Zhang.”

Sun Mo started to consider if he should learn the Poison Scripture and then teach it to Tantai Yutang. He knew that the sickly guy liked to study these things.

Helian Beifang’s performance was mediocre. It wasn’t as good as Xianyu Wei’s.

Xianyu Wei’s battle tactic was to charge on while using the Dharma Skyshock Fist to smash the bees away.

She had a great amount of spirit qi, about five times more than cultivators of the same level. And as her cultivation level increased, this multiplier would get increasingly terrifying.

“Xianyu Wei doesn’t need to cultivate too many cultivation arts. Instead, she should be spending her time tempering her body. I’ll find some nature fruits that can strengthen her physique in the future!”

Sun Mo re-established the growth direction that his students would take after the test.

“Where’s Zhiruo? Where did she go?”

Sun Mo frowned.

Squeak!

Hearing this, the monkey who was waiting by the side immediately jumped up. It then put down a beehive and did an act of taking off pants and squatting on the floor.

“Does it mean that Senior Martial Sister Lu has gone to the washroom?”

Xianyu Wei felt that this monkey was really intelligent.

Squeak squeak!

The monkey nodded. It then patted the beehive to indicate to Sun Mo that this was Lu Zhiruo’s spoils.

(Hmph!)

(My master must not be underestimated.)

Sun Mo frowned. Although Lu Zhiruo was silly, she wasn’t this unreliable. Could something have happened to her? Just as he was thinking of letting Ying Baiwu go check things out, Lu Zhiruo’s voice rang out.

“Teacher, I’m back.”

Everyone turned and was stunned. It was because the papaya girl was carrying several beehives on her shoulder and running over.

(Did you wipe out all of the Crown Bees’ home?)

“Teach… Teacher, I didn’t exceed the time, did I?”

Lu Zhiruo panted heavily.

“Junior Martial Sister, this is…”

Li Ziqi was astonished. (How did you do that?) But she soon realized that these hives were damaged and there weren’t any more bees inside.

“Teacher only said to get beehives. He didn’t say that they can’t be old ones!”

As Lu Zhiruo said this, she lowered her head, feeling embarrassed too. She was considered to have played with words.

“Your mindset is quite amazing.”

Li Ruolan exclaimed in surprise.

There was definitely no danger in picking up useless and abandoned beehives.

“What did you do?”

Qin Yaoguang felt curious. Even though these were abandoned beehives, how could one pick them up without knowing where they were? Therefore, she was curious what this papaya senior martial sister had done.

“I offered Daoji Bakery’s snacks, a few alchemical pills, as well as the flowers from earlier to those bees and asked for a beehive.”

Lu Zhiruo didn’t hide it. “After that, a few bees brought me to the place where they cast away damaged beehives.”

“…”

Everyone was speechless. This could work too?

“You know the bug language?”

Bai Xiqing was surprised.

“I don’t!”

Lu Zhiruo blinked, thinking to herself. (If I knew the bug language, I wouldn’t have to be so anxious.)

“Then how did you communicate with the bees?”

Bai Xiqing asked.

“By talking and gesturing with my hands.”

Lu Zhiruo shared her trick. “I just guess. Anyway, bugs don’t have any intelligence and their actions are quite easy to guess.”

“…”

Bai Xiqing’s lips twitched and she looked toward Sun Mo. “Is this how you teach your students?”

“I didn’t, I’m innocent. Not even I can copy her way of doing things.”

Sun Mo felt very helpless.

Communicate with bugs?

To speak the truth, it was quite foolish.

“Hmm? Zhiruo, did you not get stung?”

Li Ruolan noticed that there weren’t any sting wounds on Li Ruolan’s face at all.

“Boohoohoo, of course I was stung. It hurts a lot.”

As Lu Zhiruo said this, she pointed to her forehead and neck. “My no-wounds record has been broken.”

But everyone didn’t see anything. There wasn’t any redness or swelling at all. Her skin still remained fair.

“Come over here!”

Sun Mo beckoned with his hand.

Lu Zhiruo immediately walked over and squatted in front of Sun Mo.

Sun Mo tried touching and then felt perplexed.

Her skin felt the same as ordinary people’s, but why was there no redness and swelling?

Amongst his students, Xuanyuan Po’s skin was the thickest. His sting wounds were the lightest, but there were still hints of redness and swelling.

He couldn’t understand.

If it was really a matter of aptitude, then why would Lu Zhiruo have an extremely low aptitude?

“Teach… Teacher, although these are battered ones, I can use quantity to make up for quality, right?”

Lu Zhiruo didn’t mind winning or losing. She just didn’t want to disappoint her teacher.

“En, you did very well!”

Sun Mo praised.

“Hehe!”

Lu Zhiruo felt happy. She then threw a proud glance at the monkey. “Did you see that? I can win even without your help.”

Ptui!

The monkey spat a mouthful of saliva and then kicked the beehive it had stolen.

“Teacher Sun, your personal disciples are really outstanding!”

Bai Xiqing sighed and then returned to her group.

“Teacher Ji, this is how it is. Should we let the students give it a try?”

Bai Xiqing asked.

Ji Kun looked toward the students.

Everyone’s expression looked a little uneasy.

To speak the truth, they didn’t have any confidence.

“Sigh!”

Ji Kun suddenly felt very disappointed. Putting strength aside, their students had lost out a lot in terms of guts compared to those from the Central Province Academy.

“Let’s go!”

Ji Kun couldn’t stand staying here anymore.

However, before the group left, Zou Qi’s group arrived and met them head-on.

“Teacher Zou.”

Ji Kun cupped his fists together and greeted Zou Qi. They knew each other.

However, Zou Qi looked very cold, his gaze sweeping through these people.

“Teacher Ji, there seems to be some problems.”

A male great teacher frowned. “Why are their expressions all so stiff, like dead people?”

“Central Province Academy’s Sun Mo is over there!”

Ji Kun noticed it as well and added. The reason he said this was to let the Bozi Academy have some wariness and not attack recklessly. It was a pity that it wasn’t successful.

“Kill them!”

Zou Qi’s voice was hoarse and low, sounding like it was made from a rotting coffin.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The controlled teachers and students pounced over.

“Retaliate!”

Ji Kun drew his sword and bellowed, “Teacher Zou, do you really think that our Virtuous Academy is a pushover?”

The two groups immediately started fighting.

In just a short moment, the Virtuous Academy suffered casualties and was suppressed. It was because Zou Qi’s group was controlled and didn’t know pain nor dear death. They’d only abide by Lu Cangqiong’s orders to take action.

It could be said that they had been controlled by those bugs and become puppets.

Ah! Ah!

Agonizing cries rang out.

“Teacher Bai, I’ll hold them back. Bring the students to look for Sun Mo.”

Ji Kun bellowed out while attacking Zou Qi.

Zou Qi stopped Ji Kun and slapped out an attack, smashing the head of a student at the side.

Killing without even batting an eyelid.

“Follow me!”

Bai Xiqing didn’t dare to hesitate.

Sun Mo’s group also heard fighting sounds.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone stood up and looked over. They then saw Bai Xiqing bringing their group over.

“Teacher Sun, Bozi Academy’s Zou Qi has gone crazy! He’s leading his group to massacre us!”

Bai Xiqing cried out, “There must be a problem.”

The Saint Gate’s regulation was that great teachers must not make a move against students. However, Zou Qi had broken the rule. This meant that there was a big problem here.

“Ziyu, Mingyue, bring the students and leave first! I’ll go take a look!”

Sun Mo instructed while darting out.

“Be careful!”

Mei Ziyu immediately urged everyone to set off.

“I’ll go with you!”

Bai Xiqing left the students to the other teachers.

Sun Mo quickly arrived at the battlefield. The great teachers from both sides were still fighting it out, but Ji Kun’s group was showing signs of defeat.

“It was Sun Mo!”

At the sight of his target, Zou Qi immediately cast Ji Kun aside, wanting to kill him.

“Scram back here.”

Ji Kun bellowed, his eyes red. His student had died, so he was going to let Zou Qi pay the price for that.

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and his countenance changed drastically.
