Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 866 - Two Rewards

Chapter 866: Two Rewards

Translator: Lordbluefire
Ding!
“Congratulations on completely researching the wolf totem within such a short period and successfully repairing it. Your standard in the study of spirit runes has taken a step forward, and you are closer to the ancestor level now. Reward: 1x mysterious treasure chest.”
Ding!
“Congratulations on guiding Hu Qinglang and having won his respect, receiving 10,000 favorable impression points in one go. Reward: 1x great teacher emblem, 1x mysterious treasure chest.
The system gave two rewards in one beat.
Sun Mo actually received a great teacher emblem, and it caused him to feel a little surprised. Honestly speaking, he had put in a lot of effort when guiding Xiao Ri`nan. However, the favorable impression points he had gotten then weren’t comparable to Hu Qinglang’s at all.
So, the cost-performance ratio of guiding students who knew gratitude was the highest.
“What’s Teacher Sun thinking about?”
Seeing Sun Mo in a daze, Duanmu Li felt very curious. “Are you thinking about that wolf totem?”
“Nope!”
Sun Mo shook his head.
“I heard that in the dark great teacher world, there’s a great teacher named Bai Wenzhang. He has extremely high attainments in the study of spirit runes and loves to recruit talents who similarly have high attainments in the same field of study. Teacher Sun, you have to be careful. Maybe Bai Wenzhang will pay a visit to you after a few days.”
Duanmu Li reminded him.
“That’s a distortion of the truth!”
Sun Mo smiled. He had met Bai Wenzhang before. He was simply a researcher that purely loved researching spirit runes and would focus all his attention on his current research topics.
Hence, the number of times he exited his experiment lab could be counted on one’s hand each year. How would he have the time to be concerned about him?
“Eh? It can’t be that you have met this dark great teacher before?”
Duanmu Li was astonished.
“No!”
Sun Mo shook his head. The evaluation of dark great teachers was very low. If others knew he had interactions with them, even if he was the God Hands and a vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy, the Saint Gate would surely investigate him.
“We are considered friends, right? Teacher Sun doesn’t need to be on guard with me. I’m merely curious about this person named Bai Wenzhang. After all, he’s rumored to be one of the giants standing at the peak of the spirit runes world.”
Duanmu Li explained.
“How could ordinary people like us have a chance to meet such a person?”
Mei Ziyu helped and spoke out. Bai Wenzhang could immediately become a school’s treasure if he went to any of the Nine Greats. His capabilities would allow the school’s expertise in spirit runes to instantly rise to the peak of the Nine Greats.
“Hehe, I’ve misspoken.”
Duanmu Li smiled in a self-mocking manner. He then asked, “Seems like the two of you have a very bad impression toward dark great teachers?”
Mei Ziyu didn’t speak, but her meaning was clear without words.
As someone from a traditional great teacher family who had spent her childhood in Jixia Learning Palace, she couldn’t admire such people.
From Mei Ziyu’s point of view, one was a great teacher first and a person second. Those fellows who had joined the dark camp no longer had any qualifications to teach people no matter what their reasons were.
Sun Mo shrugged and didn’t reply. His attitude was indifferent to dark great teachers. (As long as you guys don’t come and antagonize me, you can do whatever you want to.)
“System, open the chests!”
Sun Mo couldn’t wait anymore. He was idling anyway.
Ding! Ding!
The clear sounds of two chests opening rang out. A skill book clad in green light and a 50-year time emblem appeared.
“I can’t open a great teacher halo!”
Sun Mo pursed his lips. As expected, without his lucky mascot Lu Zhiruo, his luck was very bad and there wouldn’t be any top-level rewards.
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining 1x darkness species illustrated handbook – ferocious beast edition. This is S-ranked information and contains knowledge about ten types of species. Proficiency level: expert. Do you want to learn it?”
The system’s mechanical voice was devoid of emotions.
“Learn it!”
Very soon, many pieces of information flowed into Sun Mo’s mind.
Several ferocious beasts appeared in his mind, from their births to their deaths, living a complete cycle. Some information unknown to the others also appeared in his mind.
Spiritrock turtles who were 1,000 years old and more had a pearl in their mandible. If one brought the pearl with them, it would be able to reduce the aging process of one’s skin. The longer the spiritrock turtle lived, the more effective the anti-aging effect of the pearl would be. For pearls extracted from 10,000-year-old turtles, they could allow one to have eternal youth.
“If you grind the pearl into powder and consume it, it will actually cause the reverse effect, which is aging, and the target who consumes it will be ill. The symptoms will be that of natural aging; all methods are useless and won’t be able to inspect this.”
Sun Mo was speechless.
This type of spiritrock turtles lived deep in certain mountains that were over thousands of meters tall near the earth’s crust in the fourth level of the Darkness Continent.
Honestly speaking, if they lived in the ocean, humans might still be able to capture some of them but living so deep in the rocks…
Leaving aside capturing a live species, it was even extremely difficult to extract mines from such deep places.
(Eh? Wait a minute, my thinking is wrong. Why do we have to get humans to go and catch one?)
Sun Mo saw that the natural predator of spiritrock turtles was a type of rodent named the armored rat. He suddenly felt a flash in his mind. He knew beast taming arts, and he could tame this type of rats to get them to capture the spiritrock turtles. It would be like training cormorants to catch fish.
“The effect of this pearl is truly terrifying.”
Sun Mo sighed. Regardless of maintaining eternal youth or rapid aging, both were extremely terrifying effects. This was especially so for the latter case. If one used this to harm others, no one could guard against it. The main point was that it wasn’t a poisonous ingredient, so no poisonous nature could be discerned and things would be too late when it was discovered.
…
During winter in the grassy plains, the northern wind gusted and was like blades. When they blew past your face, you would feel pain.
The herders had long since hidden in their camps. Other than feeding fodder to the cows and sheep, they wouldn’t go out unnecessarily.
Yet, the students of the Dragon Subduing Academy were rushing about like wild beasts, even digging three feet deep into the ground, giving all their efforts to hunt prey.
Xianyu Wei was camping outside a marmot cave and chewing on dried rations. She would occasionally touch the dead rabbit tied to her belt.
This was her prey.
“Ever since I met Teacher, I feel that my luck has gotten better.”
Xianyu Wei smiled.
She had managed to hunt a rabbit not even two hours after she left her camp. This was a good sign.
One must know that during the winter, there would be a low number of rabbits, and they were not easy to catch. She was able to hunt one despite having so many competitors, proving that her luck was indeed good.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the rabbit was dead, the scene of the young girl touching the rabbit’s head would surely be very beautiful.
“Teacher, I won’t lose face for you.”
Xianyu Wei increased her frequency of eating, preparing to quickly eat her food and continue hunting.
But at this moment, the sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out as an arrow swooshed and landed at a location not far away from her body.
“There’s someone!”
Xianyu Wei immediately turned and scuttled away.
“Xianyu Wei, there’s no need to hide anymore. I saw you long ago.”
As Gao Wa spoke, three silhouettes surrounded Xianyu Wei, preventing her from escaping.”
“Gao Wa?”
Xianyu Wei’s brows twitched. She didn’t expect that she would meet her dorm mate.
And because she was stunned for a bit, she was completely surrounded and couldn’t escape anymore.
“Eh? Gao Wa, did you recognize the wrong person? I remember that Xianyu Wei is an extremely fat girl, right?”
Meng La surveyed Xianyu Wei a few times and then looked at Gao Wa in astonishment. “Could you have made a mistake?”
“Do you think I would make a mistake in recognizing a dorm mate that I see every day?”
Gao Wa’s tone was filled with unhappiness.
Meng La was astonished. She looked back at Xianyu Wei, and her expression turned to one of disbelief. This girl with a slender figure was that fat pig, Xianyu Wei?
(Mn, she is quite pretty too. There must be a mistake, right?)
