Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 260 Protection of the Wind King

Chapter 260 Protection of the Wind King

“Don’t look down on her because she’s just 13 years old. She has comprehended the ‘self-taught’ halo and has the qualification to become a teacher.”
Sun Mo introduced the little sunny egg to the Wind King.
“What?”
This was the first time Ying Baiwu and Lu Zhiruo heard of this. Their eyes instantly widened as they looked at Li Ziqi. (Are you not a little too heaven-defying?)
‘Teacher!”
After hearing Sun Mo’s praise, Li Ziqi felt a little embarrassed. (Am I really so good?) The Wind King was taken aback. If he were to impart his knowledge to this little girl...
VE
“That’s right, I can nurture her into my student. At that time, I won’t have to worry about her betraying me.”
The more the Wind King thought about this, the more he felt this was a good idea.
(Damn, why didn’t I think of this in the past? But then, it is not that easy to find outstanding students.)
“I want to test you!”
Clearly, the Wind King’s heart was moved.
For the next twenty minutes, the conversation between the Wind King and Li Ziqi made Sun Mo recall the moment of his thesis defense.
It was very rare for Li Ziqi to have an opportunity to converse with an ancient old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years. Hence, she cherished this opportunity very much. There were some questions that she didn’t know the answer to, but she would give her viewpoints on them.
At the altar, the Wind King suddenly fell silent.
Just when Lu Zhiruo guessed that things were about to fizzle out and the negotiation had failed, the Wind King suddenly spoke, “This king has very high regard for you!”
Ying Baiwu could hear that the Wind King’s tone was filled with admiration.
“I’m fond of a child who has the ability to think independently. Li Ziqi, do you want to become my student?”.
The Wind King issued an invitation.
In ancient times, it would have been considered an extremely great honor.
“I’m sorry, I only have one teacher!”
Li Ziqi decisively rejected.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to reject. Although I’m sealed, I’m after all a hegemon of this continent over a million years ago. Just giving you a few items I possess would grant you unimaginable might.”
The Wind King had already been prepared to kill them before this.
To him, humans like Sun Mo were ants. This wasn’t a joke. After all, this place was the Wind King Hall. Even a starving camel was larger than a horse.
“Saint-tier cultivation arts? A peak-grade weapon? Sorry, all of them are insignificant to me.”
Li Ziqi shook her head. As a wealthy person from the royal clan, she truly had no regard for things like this. In her heart, knowledge was always number one. No, for her, her teacher was the number one.
“What about eternal life?”
The Wind King tempted.
“I don’t need that. I only need a book to read every day and as long as I don’t fritter my time away, I feel that life is already very beautiful.”
When Li Ziqi said this, her expression was very serious.
Because of her problem with her motoric nerve, her athletic ability was too inferior. Thus, her cultivation speed would be very slow, and it was almost impossible for her to get into the Longevity Realm. Hence, Li Ziqi had long since considered such matters of life and death.
Her answer to this question was...she would do her best to live every single day of her life beautifully.
The Wind King fell silent. This answer was too out of his expectation, but it allowed him to sense Li Ziqi’s thirst for knowledge.
“You remind me of someone. She was also like this, burying her head in a sea of books all day long. Her combat strength wasn’t the strongest, but her brain was absolutely number one in Middle-Earth.”
The Wind King sighed emotionally.
Sun Mo had a calm look on his face as he looked at the Wind King and Li Ziqi, but his heart was extremely anxious. He finally could heave a sigh of relief.
F***, it was truly too frightening. No wonder the spirit qi roaming dragon wanted to stop them from coming here. This Wind King was truly too dangerous.
The Spiritwind Canyon was a newbie training ground. Although there might not be people here every single day of the year, it would still be occupied 80% of the time.
There were so many people and so many tens of thousands of years had passed. But why had no one discovered the Wind King Hall? There was only one answer. Those who did discover this place had all been killed by the Wind King. It wanted to regain freedom but didn’t want to be controlled. This was a problem that had no solution.
After being sealed for so long, the Wind King’s desire to leave was much duller compared to before. It said what it said to Zhang Qianlin purely out of boredom. It wanted to watch the ants kill each other to relieve his boredom.
In the end, all of the ants would have to die.
But now, the Wind King had a new choice.
“Don’t worry. We won’t ask anything regarding the knowledge you impart to her.” Sun Mo guaranteed.
“Che, just ask if you want to. If you can understand them, just consider it my loss!”
The Wind King growled in contempt. It wasn’t that he was looking down on Sun Mo. If you could converse smoothly within a year of learning the ancient language of the nine provinces, it was considered not bad.
Some ancient knowledge was like quantum mechanics. If the student had no talent, they would never be able to understand it.
During ancient times, if one wanted to become the King of the Wind, standing at the peak of one of the elements, they couldn’t just be good at fighting “Teacher...”
Li Ziqi looked at Sun Mo.
“Ziqi, the things I can teach you are ultimately limited. Now that you can learn from an ancient king like him, even if you were to simply hear of his experiences, it would be of huge help to you.”
Sun Mo was sincerely wishing Li Ziqi well. This was a chance to see the world while standing on the shoulders of a giant. She absolutely mustn’t miss out on this.
“Alright, I will listen to Teacher. However, I won’t take the Wind King as my teacher.”
This was Li Ziqi’s bottom line.
“It’s fine!”
The Wind King seemed to be very magnanimous, but it was laughing mockingly in its heart. (As long as you learn from me, you would submit to my glory and begin to worship me sooner or later).
Hu~
A wind suddenly started gusting.
Jiji!
The spirit qi roaming dragon cried and then curled itself in Lu Zhiruo’s embrace.
“This is a meeting gift I’ve prepared for you.”
As the Wind King spoke, a tornado gusted over. The eight-gate cloud was imprisoned in it.
The eight-gate cloud had exhausted all its strength, wanting to break the wind barrier but to no avail. It could only struggle in despair.
Li Ziqi had a look of joy on her face but then hesitated. In the end, she shook her head. “Please release it. If it wasn’t for it saving my Teacher in time, my Teacher would have died.”
“Are you sure?”
The Wind King was taken aback. In its era, even though there wasn’t anything like the mysterious species list, it still knew that the eight-gate cloud was an extremely rare and valuable treasure.
“Yes!”
After Li Ziqi spoke, she looked at Sun Mo. “Teacher, you won’t blame me for taking matters into my own hands, right?”
“I won’t.”
Sun Mo shook his head. After that, he smiled. “Thank you!”
Li Ziqi was repaying his debt of kindness to the eight-gate cloud.
“Alright, you guys better not regret this!”
After the Wind King spoke, it made the tornado dissipate.
Swish
The eight-gate cloud immediately flew over and hid behind Sun Mo. (Aiya, if I knew I would be captured, I wouldn’t have come.)
Fleeing now? The eight-gate cloud didn’t dare to. What if it was caught by the Wind King while it was fleeing and the Wind King decided to give it to some other humans?
It might as well follow these humans. At the very least, they didn’t have any hostilities toward it and they had kind hearts as well.
This sudden scene caused the four of them to be stupefied.
“What the hell?”
Sun Mo didn’t feel that he was charismatic enough to make a mysterious species of darkness like the eight-gate cloud grovel to him.
Lu Zhiruo was too simple-minded. She smiled widely and immediately stretched out her hand to touch the cloud. It felt soft and elastic, very comfortable.
Li Ziqi also couldn’t control herself. She also stretched out her hands to touch it.
(Aiya, why are you guys touching me anyhow? You guys are dirtying my body!) The eight-gate cloud squeezed even closer to Sun Mo. (If I wanted someone to touch my body, I would naturally let this guy touch me, alright!?) The little sunny egg didn’t guess wrongly. The eight-gate cloud loved places with dense spirit qi. Hence, it would frequently float toward hot spring areas.
When they had been soaking in a hot spring that day, this mysterious species of darkness saw Sun Mo administering his ancient massaging technique on Ying Baiwu by chance. That instant the muscled genie appeared, it immediately felt a bizarre feeling.
Next, the eight-gate cloud kept spying on Sun Mo. This was why Lu Zhiruo always felt like someone was looking at them.
However, this fellow was a cloud and was completely formless. This was why the papaya girl didn’t manage to discover it.
Sun Mo couldn’t endure it and also stretched out his hand to touch the cloud. It truly felt very ‘q’ to the touch. Most probably, the feel of touching a woman’s boobs should be like this, right? “You should have seen Ziqi’s athletic ability earlier. It’s a little inferior. Shouldn’t you give her some trump cards to guarantee her safety?”
Sun Mo started to ‘rip off the Wind King. In any case, if the Wind King didn’t want to give anything, Sun Mo would have at most wasted some saliva.
“I understand even if you didn’t say anything.”
The Wind King snorted. (After all, this is related to the safety of the seal breaker. She naturally has to be protected well. I can’t let her die so easily.)
The spirit qi in the surroundings suddenly became denser. Spirit qi facula appeared and an azure-blue ancient rune shot out from the spring water, imprinting itself at the back of Li Ziqi’s right hand with a thud.
“Spirit control rune?”
Sun Mo’s eyes brightened. This item was used to summon spiritual beasts. Sun Mo could sense an ancient aura from it.
“This is the Wind King Authority Token. Through it, you can summon a wind spirit to protect and aid you in battle. In any case, even if you can’t win against an enemy, there wouldn’t be a problem for you to flee.”
As the spirit qi essence also entered Li Ziqi’s body, her cultivation base directly broke through to the next level. “Oi, no matter what, you are still an ancient king. Can you not be so stingy? Just give her two of that Wind King Authority Token and one for each of us.”
Sun Mo spoke. He knew that the possibility of the Wind King agreeing wasn’t high, but he was just trying his luck. “Scram!”
The Wind King couldn’t suppress his urge to curse. (Do you think this is some cheap item? This is something that would exhaust my life origin, alright?)
“Why are you so fierce? I don’t even care for it. I have my little loachie!”
Seeing her teacher being scolded, Lu Zhiruo was very angry. (Who cares about your token?)
“It’s impossible for me to give you guys any more tokens, but I can impart to you a movement art named the Wind King Divine Steps. Upon learning it, you can even catch up to floating clouds and birds flying in the sky!”
The Wind King compromised. In any case, such things weren’t important to him and he also needed this man to protect Li Ziqi. Hence, he could only give Sun Mo some benefits.
“Hmph, when Li Ziqi worships me, I’m going to play you to death.”
The lips of the Wind King twitched. (Those who want to benefit from me must all die!) “What level is this art?”
Li Ziqi was curious. (If I learn it, would I be able to run faster?)
“Given the standards of the current era, it should be a peerless-grade saint-tier art.”
The Wind King casually replied. Yet, his answer made Sun Mo and Li Ziqi exchange a mutual glance. A bout of lingering fear struck their hearts. As expected, this fellow must have killed many cultivators before. If not, given the time from when it was sealed, it shouldn’t know the classification for cultivation arts.
After all, a million years ago, this system of classification hadn’t existed.
