Chapter 1239: I’m Not Going To Pretend Anymore. I’m a Grandmaster Beast Tamer. I’m Showing My Cards!

“Hearing Composition!”
Sun Mo spoke.
“Huh?”
Lu Guodong also arrived and there was a look of dumbfoundedness on his face. (I understand every word you spoke, but when I group them together, I don’t understand the term at all.)
“Usually speaking, if you want to open locks like the Ghost Lock, there’s only one method and that’s to keep trying to find the correct combination.”
Sun Mo explained. That was the most time and energy-consuming method, proof by exhaustion.
Although it was proof by exhaustion, if one didn’t have a certain level of weaponsmithing knowledge, they wouldn’t even be able to calculate anything.
“Naturally, one can also pluck the metal rods out with violence and observe their gears to solve this!”
Ghost Lock’s principle was similar to locks in the modern era, but it was more complicated.
“I actually wanted to do that when I attempted it!”
Lu Guodong had a self-mocking smile. Doing so by violence was the lowest of all lows when it came to solving the lock.
“If we cannot see the inner gears, we can only judge things by their sound. So, I moved a few metal rods first to judge its entire composition before I unlocked it.”
Sun Mo explained.
“…”
Most of them didn’t know the amount of experience and skill that was required in ‘Hearing Composition’ so they had calm looks on their faces. But grandmaster weaponsmiths like Ji Han and Lu Guodong had looks of shock on their faces.
(Damn, this could work too?)
“Is there a need to be so shocked? Those skilled locksmiths can do this as well. Also, for some veteran blacksmiths, they simply need to rap the metal material and they will even know the carbonic content and heat control that’s required to forge such a lock. Bluntly speaking, you don’t have to really be skilled. You just need to have large amounts of experience.”
Sun Mo shrugged.
Ji Han looked at Sun Mo. He then opened and closed his mouth but didn’t know what to say. He naturally knew that experience was the most important thing, but the problem was…how old was Sun Mo merely?!
“The saint’s inheritance is actually so terrifying?”
Lu Guodong was incomparably shocked.
“You are wrong. The saint’s inheritance might be impressive, but Sun Mo who can grasp it completely is someone that might not even appear in ten thousand geniuses.”
Ji Han sighed.
If one handed the saint’s inheritance to an ordinary genius, they would definitely not be able to reach Sun Mo’s standard.
Sun Mo also felt somewhat rueful. Saint Bai’s knowledge and experience had been completely imparted to him. This meant that it was equivalent to accepting his knowledge system. After integrating it, when he learned weaponsmithing, it would be equal to standing on the shoulders of giants and having a far broader horizon compared to others.
After Lu Guodong’s detailed explanation, Pang Tong and the others understood that Sun Mo’s act of unlocking the door earlier might have looked simple, but it displayed extremely shocking talent.
Ding!
Congratulations on obtaining +1,230 favorable impression points.
The entrance leading to the third level was a huge cave. Inside it, there were seven gigantic golden-furred baboons. Their thick arms were like pillars, and their aura streaked with the wildness of ferocious beasts.
“The test of this level is more unadulterated. It solely depends on combat strength.”
Ji Han explained. “These baboons are around the first level of the Longevity Realm. Given Teacher Sun’s strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to defeat them.”
Sun Mo swept his eyes over and felt somewhat astonished. “They are actually without an owner?”
These golden-furred baboons were being controlled by beast tamer techniques, but they had no spiritual contracts. This meant that Sun Mo could capture them if he wanted to.
“They are reared by the prison warden!”
Ji Han snapped his fingers and those baboons immediately squatted down obediently, waiting to be fed. “They are like hunting dogs.”
“Their intelligence is very high and close to a human’s. However, their thoughts aren’t as complex as ours. They are very loyal, thus it’s very practical to use them to guard this tunnel!”
Ji Han laughed and waited to watch a good show. “Please feel free to start.”
Everyone focused. Many of them even took out image-recording stones, wanting to film the scene of Sun Mo’s combat so they could research it in the future.
“Oh right, these baboons belong to the prison warden. So, you are not allowed to use the art of spiritual control and capture them!”
Ji Han warned.
(So what if you are a genius? Don’t you still have to fight against our ‘hunting dogs’? If you are capable, try passing this test without taking action!)
“Hehe!”
Sun Mo returned a smile to Ji Han. After that, he walked toward those golden-furred baboons.
Ao! Ao! Ao!
The baboons looked at this stranger and immediately started howling. Their fierce glares shot over as they surrounded Sun Mo, preparing to blast his head into pieces with their punches.
Their master had said before that strangers weren’t permitted to enter here.
Sun Mo didn’t use his wooden blade. Instead, he placed his right index finger and thumb in his mouth and then blew a whistle.
Hu~
The sharp piercing sound reverberated throughout the cave and caused the seven baboons to immediately stop as they stared at Sun Mo in bewilderment.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone didn’t understand.
The baboons waited for over ten seconds before continuing forward. After that, Sun Mo suddenly sped toward them and started howling with a ferocious look on his face.
Ao!
Upon hearing this sound, all the baboons retreated with explosive speed. After that, they slowly surrounded Sun Mo and stared at him warily. However, they no longer dared to approach.
“He’s also a beast tamer?”
The prison guards who had come here to watch a good show were directly stunned.
This show was so cool. It was definitely only something a beast tamer could pull off.
“Sun Mo is imitating the cries made by the natural predators of these baboons!”
Ji Han’s countenance grew gloomy. He didn’t expect Sun Mo to know this!
In the myriad of things in the world, there were black and white, the sun and the moon. In the world of nature, all creatures had natural predators, and there would be an ecology circle.
Even for the most powerful spiritual beast, if it encountered its natural predator, its first instinct would be to protect its own life. And Sun Mo was currently exploiting the survival instinct of the baboons.
No matter how high the intellect of these golden-furred baboons was, they were still inferior to humans. So, they were currently bewildered. Why did the appearance of their natural predator change? Otherwise, they would have cowered at the corners the moment they heard the howls.
When the baboons were hesitating, Sun Mo walked through the cave.
“…”
Ji Han was speechless. This could work too?
He had been working here for a few decades and had seen over thousands of great teachers. However, this was the first time he saw such a way to pass the level.
“Isn’t he a little too outstanding?”
Pang Tong was dumbstruck.
After all, these baboons weren’t bred in the wild. They still remembered their teachings. When they saw a stranger passing through the cave, they would immediately run over to try and stop him.
Sun Mo remained unmoving. He only spoke two words.
“Squat down!”
Swish~
All the baboons immediately halted and obediently squatted down.
“Damn!”
Ji Han involuntarily cursed and due to his shock, his eyes almost popped out from their sockets.
This fellow was actually imitating the prison warden’s tone of voice, and he even made it sound so real.
Honestly speaking, if it wasn’t for him seeing Sun Mo doing so personally, Ji Han would have thought that the prison warden came here.
“I’m not going to pretend anymore. I’m a grandmaster beast tamer as well. I’m showing my cards!
Sun Mo teased. Sadly, the others didn’t understand his joke of ‘showing my cards’.
“…”
No one spoke, but a feeling of adoration rose in their hearts.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
Everyone started applauding and really felt impressed.
All of them depended on their battle prowess to pass this level. Honestly speaking, it was really shameful to be fighting against a group of baboons. However, Sun Mo had shown a perfect execution of how to pass.
“Teacher Sun, you are good!”
Pang Tong flashed a thumbs-up.
“Haha, Teacher Pang is praising me too much. I only know a smattering of the subject ‘beast taming’ and employed a minor trick!”
Sun Mo was modest. After that, he explained, “The golden-furred baboons were placed here to be reared. They also have no scars or injuries on their bodies. Clearly, they don’t have much combat experience. So, when they suddenly heard the cry of their natural predator, they would surely be afraid.”
Regardless of wild beasts or brave warriors, they had to undergo slaughter to become kings.
Ji Han sighed, this was indeed true. These baboons were the prison warden’s pets, so everyone treated them nicely. Besides, there hadn’t been anyone new here in several years. The baboons naturally would lack fighting experience as they didn’t have the chance to attack.
“Also, no matter how strong they are, they are still wild beasts, not spiritual beasts. Their intellect isn’t fully developed. This is why they still use sounds and sight to gauge their target.”
Sun Mo exposed. Actually, the eyes of these baboons couldn’t differentiate an individual’s appearance that clearly. Humans looked the same to them.
“We’ve benefitted!”
Everyone bowed.
Sun Mo headed to the next puzzle.
“Teacher Sun, how did you imitate the howl of a wild beast just now?”
Ji Han was curious. “The larynx of humans is different from a beast’s? Also, humans aren’t able to utter such sounds!”
“Through a voice-emission secret technique from beast taming!”
Sun Mo smiled confidently. (Do you really think this daddy is joking when I said I’m a grandmaster beast tamer?)
“Old Ghost Ji, what’s going on with this brat? Is he a young master from some great teacher clan?”
When they passed through the corridor, one of the prisoners in the cell asked. After all, there were a bunch of great teachers following behind Sun Mo. Clearly, they treated him as their leader. This was sufficient to prove that Sun Mo was a major character.
Sun Mo turned his head to look over.
The prisoner was a middle-aged man with disheveled hair. He first smiled at Sun Mo. After that, he spat out a mouthful of sword qi abruptly.
Hu~
Sun Mo wasn’t anxious or in a hurry. He used his fingers like a blade and casually swiped out.
Swish~
Paying someone back in their own coin!
Woosh~
The stream of sword qi reversed and shot back at the middle-aged man, following its original trajectory.
“Damn!”
The middle-aged man was shocked and hurriedly dodged.
Bang!
The sword qi passed through the metal railings of the cell and shot past the middle-aged man’s ear. It then slammed into a stone wall, causing a dent the size of a fingernail.
Si~
Pang Tong’s group was badly shocked. At the same time, they became increasingly vigilant.
That mouthful of sword qi was so insidious. If it was aimed at them, even if they weren’t struck by it, they would surely be extremely flustered.
On the other hand, Sun Mo was too calm.
This meant that his strength and experience had reached a crushingly high level.
“That’s Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, right? Are you a student from the Skyraise Academy?”
The middle-aged man surveyed Sun Mo.
“What?”
Everyone turned and glanced at Sun Mo.
Those imprisoned here were not ordinary people. Their horizons were definitely broad, so they probably wouldn’t be mistaken. But Sun Mo shouldn’t have any chance to learn the ultimate art of the Skyraise Academy, right?
Unless he was the illegitimate son of the headmaster!
Ji Han also frowned as he glanced at Sun Mo.
Although this middle-aged man was just a 5-stars, his experience was broad and his learning was very diverse. Back then in the great teacher world, he had sold information for a living.
“I’m the vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy, Sun Mo!”
Sun Mo had a smile on his face, but he was cursing silently in his heart. The prisoners in this place were truly capable. He better not used cultivation arts that he shouldn’t use, or it would be far too easy to attract trouble.
“The Central Province Academy?”
The middle-aged man was taken aback. “Why would old Headmaster An permit a young man like you to be a vice headmaster?”
“You are acquainted with Grandpa An?”
Sun Mo was astonished. From the words of this person, he seemed to be quite familiar with the old headmaster.
“Hehe!”
The middle-aged man laughed awkwardly.
“Back then, this fellow joined your school as a teacher to steal the Great Dream Heart Sutra. In the end, he was captured by old Headmaster An. Old Headmaster An didn’t punish him but persuaded him to turn over a new leaf instead. This fellow agreed readily, but he immediately turned and fled when there was a chance to do so and headed to the Dragon Subduing Academy, planning to steal the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture instead.”
Ji Han then laughed.. “In the end, his plan was foiled and both his legs were broken as a punishment.”
