Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 1168 - Sun Mo Truly Has Offered Me Too Much!

Chapter 1168: Sun Mo Truly Has Offered Me Too Much!

Translator: Lordbluefire
Headmaster Song didn’t forget that Shi Sheng had managed to ascend and become a secondary saint thanks to Sun Mo. Tong Xugao who had an outstanding talent in the field of the study of spirit runes had also headed to the Central Province Academy due to Sun Mo.
One could say that currently, the strongest great teachers in the Central Province Academy were only gathered there because of Sun Mo.
Headmaster Song who had clearly seen this point cast his gaze over at Li Ziqi and the others. He wanted to get Sun Mo even more because once he obtained Sun Mo, he would be able to obtain these geniuses.
“Naturally, I can!”
Headmaster Song’s reply had no hesitation. “If your esteemed school is willing to let him go, I’m willing to bestow the position of Headmaster of the Black-White Academy to Great Teacher Sun!”
Headmaster Song changed the term address here from ‘Sun Mo’ to ‘Great Teacher Sun’. This wasn’t a form of politeness but was a form of approval and admiration instead.
The entire dining room turned completely silent. Even the serving girls at the side were stunned into silence.
Let Sun Mo become the headmaster of the Black-White Academy?
(Sir, did you make a mistake?)
Everyone from the Nine Provinces, regardless of whether they had studied before or not, knew that the Nine Greats were famous schools at the very peak. Those who could become their headmasters were all people overflowing with talent. They were saints with high prestige!
“Headmaster Song, this joke isn’t funny!”
An Xinhui’s expression was somewhat stiff. This temptation was truly too terrifying. She wasn’t sure if Sun Mo could withstand it.
“Headmaster Song, please speak cautiously!”
Mei Ziyu reminded him.
As the daughter of the celebrity teacher Mei Yazhi of Jixia Academy, Mei Ziyu was clearer than others about the benefits one would receive by being the headmaster of a supreme-grade famous school.
Naturally, she also knew the difficulties within. For example, her mother was already so outstanding, but she still had to face immense competition. And now, Song Yan actually promised the position of the headmaster to Sun Mo!
(If word of this was to spread out, are you not afraid of your school’s reputation collapsing?)
(After all, Sun Mo was a complete outsider. If you do this, what would the students and teachers nurtured in the Black-White Academy think?)
“This should be a huge pancake that’s a lie, right? A pancake that can be seen but can’t be eaten?”
Gu Xiuxun muttered.
“Xiuxun, don’t be rude!” An Xinhui berated softly.
“Sorry!”
Gu Xiuxun hurriedly apologized. This was a saint, so she had to be courteous. If not, if he used a punishment-type halo, she would definitely be the one suffering.
“The worries you guys have are understandable. After all, there are only nine of such positions in the entire Nine Provinces. Moreover, they are all people standing at the peak of authority in the great teacher world!”
Song Yan drank a mouthful of tea. “However, I dare to guarantee that I will personally ensure Sun Mo can take on the headmaster’s position smoothly. I will make all the opposing voices vanish!”
Si~
After hearing the killing intent in Headmaster Song’s tone, everyone was shocked. This was especially so for Jin Mujie. She couldn’t understand this no matter how she thought about it.
Was it worth doing so for a single Sun Mo?
“As expected, my teacher is number one in the world!”
Li Ziqi calmly lifted her cup of tea and drank it. In any case, she would follow her teacher wherever he went!
“I wish to know the reason why you regard him so highly.”
An Xinhui was curious.
“In the great teacher world, there are still some people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with an absolute genius like Sun Mo. However, the number of people whose vision could match him…there’s none!”
Headmaster Song recalled Sun Mo’s performance in the Black-White Game, especially the sentence he said to him during the last level. Remembering that, Headmaster Song involuntarily sighed.
“Sun Mo’s way of thinking and method of acting has surpassed this era. I want him to forge a brand new school and create a new style of education concept!”
Song Yan said his thoughts.
“It has been several thousand years, but the education concept and model of the Nine Provinces hasn’t changed. This is a world of education and is as ordinary as plain water. If this continues, there’s no hope of winning at all!”
“Win against what?”
Gu Xiuxun asked in passing. Headmaster Song wanted to make the Black-White Academy become the number one in the Nine Provinces?
(No. His thinking couldn’t possibly be so shallow, right?)
“You guys will know when the day comes!”
Headmaster Song didn’t explain.
“I feel that education reform should suit the trends of time. In the current era, there are no changes to our education model yet. So, it would be best if it starts developing.”
An Xinhui suggested a different opinion.
To put it nicely, it was educational reform. Actually, it was being forced by the trends of the era. No one would know whether the ending was good or bad.
In the Nine Provinces, because of the existence of the Darkness Continent, if all the countries wanted more land, wealth, and to ‘use up’ their excess population, they could simply venture into the Darkness Continent. Hence, war between the countries could be avoided.
Without wars, no countries would fall. The iron rules of society wouldn’t change for thousands of years. This also indicated that since there was no external pressure, education reform naturally wouldn’t be happening.
“Headmaster An, you cannot see the danger because the point you are currently standing at isn’t high enough!”
Song Yan stared at An Xinhui. He then rose and bowed deeply to her. “Let him go. Sun Mo is an absolute genius. Please allow him to roam in a vaster world, stepping up on a larger stage to showcase his talent!”
When everyone saw Song Yan actually bow to An Xinhui for the sake of obtaining Sun Mo, everyone was stunned.
“When would I be so highly regarded by a Saint?”
Gu Xiuxun was filled with envy.
“Headmaster Song, there’s no need for you to act like this!”
An Xinhui hurriedly rose and dodged Song Yan’s bow. Yet, she felt extremely helpless in her heart.
She finally understood why Song Yan wanted to invite Gu Xiuxun and the others here as well.
This was a checkmate!
If she rejected him, it would mean that she was the one cutting off Sun Mo from his path of ascension. At the very least, these people would loathe her. Even her crazy supporter Gu Xiuxun was probably closer to Sun Mo.
(But agreeing to it? I feel truly reluctant!)
Everyone was too distracted to eat this meal.
On the way back to the hotel, everyone was silent. Gu Xiuxun was eventually the one who couldn’t bear the awkward silence anymore and was the first to speak out.
“Sun Mo has actually become so outstanding to this extent?”
Even though the masochist had extreme confidence in herself and longed to become a saint one day, she had never once assumed that she would be able to become a headmaster of one of the Nine Greats.
Because it was as difficult as ascending the heavens!
Although there weren’t many saints in the Nine Provinces, there were still over 30 of them. However, there were only nine headmaster positions for the Nine Greats.
“Yeah, Headmaster Song has scared me!”
An Xinhui was depressed.
Making a great teacher from an outside school to be your school’s headmaster? Even in ordinary schools, this incident would cause a huge commotion. The headmaster would surely have to suppress all dissent and arguments with an iron fist before this motion could be smoothly passed.
It could be considered that Song Yan had gone all out for the sake of obtaining Sun Mo.
After returning to the hotel, Li Ziqi informed Sun Mo of this matter.
“Becoming the headmaster?”
Sun Mo was astonished. “Doesn’t Headmaster Song regard me too highly?”
Lu Zhiruo deeply agreed. “Yeah, I feel that he’s treating you like how he would treat his son!”
Pak!
The little sunny egg lifted her hand and smacked the papaya girl’s head.
“What are you blindly speaking about?”
“Don’t hit my head, I’ll become stupid!”
Lu Zhiruo protected her head with her hands and stared at Li Ziqi with resentment in her eyes. “If I, the second eldest martial sister, become even stupider, how can I still convince the others?”
Li Ziqi ignored Lu Zhiruo. She excitedly asked Sun Mo in a low voice, “Teacher, what do you plan to do?”
“I don’t like the uniforms of the Black-White Academy!”
Sun Mo chortled.
Outside the door, Gu Xiuxun, who pretended to be passing by, couldn’t help but snort disdainfully when she heard this. She felt that Sun Mo would definitely be reluctant to leave Jinling due to its red-light district.
After all, the famous courtesans and queen of flowers there could fill up the two shores of Qinhuai River.
However, she didn’t seem to hear any stories about Sun Mo visiting brothels. (Could it be that his thing cannot…?)
…
Sun Mo’s recruiting plan was proceeding smoothly. The number of graduate students who came to give their resumes kept increasing. In fact, he even had the option to choose the ones he wanted to hire now.
The Black-White Star Disk was the ultimate treasure of the school. It contained that difficult game that had remained unsolved for thousands of years, but Sun Mo merely used one year to clear it.
This caused Sun Mo’s status in their hearts to surge greatly.
If someone like that became their headmaster, the Central Province Academy would surely rise, right?
So, if they went to join the Central Province Academy now before its eventual rise to glory, they might even be able to get the positions of doyens!
Those students who majored in the study of spirit runes didn’t care too much about these things. They merely wanted to follow Sun Mo’s side and be his assistants so they could learn from him.
In fact, some high star-ranking great teachers even came to ask discreetly, wanting to transfer school.
But it was a pity Sun Mo didn’t need so many spirit runists. Besides, if he really recruited all the teachers of a subject away from the Black-White Academy, Wan Kangcheng would go all out and fight him.
…
“Teacher Li, I heard that you went to look for Sun Mo. How is the negotiation?”
Wan Kangcheng stopped Li Feng in the office building.
“Vice Headmaster Wan, don’t speak nonsensically. I didn’t look for Sun Mo!”
Li Feng corrected him.
“But there’s someone who saw you entering and leaving the hotel Sun Mo is staying at.”
Wan Kangcheng mentally mused that even if the spy he hired had bad vision, the image-recording stone couldn’t be wrong, correct?”
“Eh!”
Li Feng’s scalp turned numb. She wanted to curse. (Are you shameless? You actually monitor people’s movements?)
“Teacher Li, the school has never let you down, right?”
Wan Kangcheng decided to act from the standpoint of them being in a wretched situation.
“But the research fee given to me hasn’t increased in three years!”
Li Feng spread her hands wide.
“The funds of our school aren’t something that is blown over here magically by the wind. Moreover, the others also need to have a share of the pie!”
Wan Kangcheng felt a headache.
He really didn’t dare to over-promise her. If not, what should he do when others came to complain to him?
“So, I can only apologize!”
Li Feng shook her head.
“Ah. From your meaning, you intend to leave?”
Wan Kangcheng was anxious now. Her alchemy skills were ranked number five in the entire school.
“Don’t blame me. Sun Mo has truly offered me too much.”
“How much?”
Wan Kangcheng mentally mused that he could match that amount too.
Li Feng raised one of her hands.
“50% more than now?” Wan Kangcheng gritted his teeth. “I can also give you the same amount!”
“It’s five times more!”
Li Feng’s tone contained excitement that was hard to mask.
“Ah? Is he crazy?”
Wan Kangcheng was stunned. The school paid Li Feng 20 million taels every month, so five times that meant 100 million.
Where did Sun Mo get so much money from?
“I don’t know if he’s crazy or not. In any case, he promised to give me herbs worth this amount of money every year. If he cannot do it, I can scold him!”
Li Feng was very happy. After that, she shrugged and continued with her experiments.
“…”
Wan Kangcheng smiled bitterly. He didn’t dare to match this price and he couldn’t afford to do so.
“Old Wan. Honestly speaking, even if Sun Mo only gives me 20 million, I’m planning to leave as well.”
Li Feng spoke from the bottom of her heart.
“Why?”
Wan Kangcheng didn’t understand.
“Because he is handsome!”
Li Feng chortled before turning to depart.
In truth, she coveted Sun Mo’s ancient massaging technique and wanted him to do a beautification surgery for her.
“…”
Wan Kangcheng felt like collapsing. He suddenly discovered that if Sun Mo used God Hands as a bargaining chip, those aged female great teachers of the Black-White Academy would probably follow him no matter where he went.
It would then be strange if he could stop this!
