Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 1311 - Darkness Ailments

Chapter 1311 Darkness Ailments
The Darkness Continent was far too big. Moreover, for safety, the aboriginals stayed in places that wouldn’t be easily discovered by outsiders. Therefore, even though Sun Mo had stayed in the Darkness Continent for over two years, the number of darkness seeds he had encountered was very few.
It was until he had met Li Luoran’s group and come to the Constellation Academy did Sun Mo start to come into contact with a large number of the Darkness Continent’s aboriginals. He also noticed, through some day-to-day details, that their production capabilities were really very backward.
To put it plainly, they were poor.
The extreme of cultivation was to shatter the void, but only a few could reach that stage. Therefore, many people aimed to step into the Longevity Realm to extend their lifespan. There was also a group of people with no other talent, and they wanted to rely on achieving success in cultivation so that they could look for a good job and improve their living conditions.
After all, working as guards for important families was still better off than farming in the fields, chopping firewood, or hunting in the mountains.
However, these Darkness Continent’s aboriginals only had one goal in their mind as they cultivated and learned to fill their stomachs. This was the most basic survival requirement.
Through Xuanyuan Po, Sun Mo found out how bad the lives of these aboriginals were.
They often starved throughout the year. Every day, even in their sleep, they’d dream of where they’d go to look for food the next day.
Because the barren land yielded a bad harvest, they could only fight to survive in nature’s harsh environment.
“On this continent, dying of old age is an extravagant hope. Many people die at a young
age.”
Xuanyuan Po sighed. “Teacher, I just feel that it’s unfair. Why is it that those students work so hard, even to the extent of throwing away their lives, yet are still unable to live a good life?”
“Because this place’s development is still at the most primitive stage!”
Sun Mo explained.
Why did the Saint Gate exile all the people who had committed unforgivable sins to the Darkness Continent? It was to have them explore and develop this continent, so that the Saint Gate could reap the benefits at a later time.
Why did they not come over themselves?
It was because it was too tough!
Just like how the first-generation immigrants who had built America were mostly people who could not survive in England and could only drift across the ocean to earn a living.
“No one can hit riches overnight regardless if it’s as small as a family or as big as a country. Everyone has to go through an accumulation to achieve it. The sacrifice and hard work you guys put in now will let your descendants live on a rich land.”
Sun Mo consoled him. “Teacher, you’re very wise. Is there any way to make everyone’s life better?”.
Xuanyuan Po looked eagerly at Sun Mo like a lost sheep praying to a god. “My heart aches a lot every time I see those children die.”
Every time that happened, Xuanyuan Po would hate himself for not being learned and not knowing anything except battle. “There is!”
Sun Mo told Xuanyuan Po not to blame himself so much. “Increase the production capabilities as soon as possible and vigorously develop medicine, weaponsmithing, and equipment to increase everyone’s survival rate.”
The more Xuanyuan Po listened, the more his eyes gleamed. His admiration for Sun Mo increased as well.
He was really lucky that he could be Sun Mo’s personal disciple in this life.
Actually, Sun Mo had an idea long ago. After the chat with the combat addict, he stopped hesitating and went to find the headmaster.
“You plan on recruiting and teaching a batch of apprentices yourself to build a spirit rune firearm factory in the school?”
The headmaster looked at Sun Mo and frowned. “Are you sure?”
“En!”
Sun Mo nodded.
“These techniques are considered the most advanced even in the nine provinces. Aren’t you afraid that if it spread, it’d allow the Darkness Continent’s aboriginal to possess the capabilities of attacking the Nine Provinces?”
The headmaster enquired.
Sun Mo was being too magnanimous. Setting up a factory here wouldn’t earn him much money.
“That’s why I hope to sign a contract with the school to restrain the students to the best extent possible, and at the same time, not promote hatred in education.”
This was Sun Mo’s request.
The students were like a piece of blank paper, so their initial perspectives were molded by the great teachers. As long as hatred wasn’t promoted, the Darkness Continent’s aboriginals wouldn’t be hostile toward the people from the Nine Provinces.
The headmaster fell silent.
“Why? Are you not able to do it? His attitude made Sun Mo’s heart sink.
“I actually hate war, but how can you guarantee that after we’ve developed the Darkness Continent, the Nine Provinces’ people won’t just come to reap the benefits?”
The headmaster asked Sun Mo back.
“I cannot guarantee that!”
Sun Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip. “Moreover, such a contradiction would only happen several hundred years later. Don’t you think it is too far off? The most important thing right now is to improve everyone’s life and fill their stomachs.”
“You’re right!”
The headmaster sighed.
“The appearance of the spirit rune firearms will change the current combat mode. At least, cultivation realms will no longer be the deciding factor for strength. Therefore, various battle tactics will be made around firearms. I’m also afraid that not all the students approve of such subversion.”
Sun Mo reminded the headmaster.
“That’s right.”
The headmaster also started to consider the resistance that would surface from promoting this matter. After the students spent a tremendous amount of effort learning how to use the firearms, they’d basically lose the rights to enter the Longevity Realm. This would mean that they’d give up on several decades of life.
Although this wasn’t a lifespan that one would definitely get, choosing firearms would mean that they’d definitely not get it.
“Let’s pick up volunteers from those who come from extremely poor backgrounds and have a great urgency to improve their lives.”
The headmaster quickly thought of this solution.
“You can decide on this. I’ll just be responsible for imparting the knowledge!”
Sun Mo got up and left.
“Teacher Sun!”
The headmaster called out and also stood from his office chair. He then looked at Sun Mo and bowed solemnly. “Thank you for your generous
gift!”
“I’m a teacher. It’s my responsibility to impart knowledge and clarify doubts!”
Sun Mo didn’t claim the credit for himself.
The headmaster had great authority. Moreover, he knew that this matter was of urgency and thus mobilized a tremendous amount of resources and manpower to handle it.
In just half a month, a 100-men research team was formed.
Right away, Sun Mo started to teach them all the knowledge relating to spirit rune firearms.
Just like how the earliest firearms were handmade, Sun Mo couldn’t create a production line either and thus could only rely on drawing the spirit runes by hand.
Moreover, this thing had a high requirement for precision. Once there was a mistake in the spirit rune, the firearm would be useless.
Without a choice, Sun Mo could only break up the spirit rune and make the drawing process simpler and faster through modularizing them.
This sounded simple, but it was extremely difficult.
In half a year, Sun Mo hadn’t slept more than ten times. As for entertainment, there was even less time for that. Fortunately, hard work paid off, and Sun Mo’s modified spirit rune firearms were finally revealed.
At the shooting range! Xuanyuan Po held a spirit rune rifle, which was aimed at a target 200 meters away, and pressed the trigger. Bang! Bang! Bang!
This was the sound of spirit qi fluctuation produced when a bullet was fired.
Everyone present was upper-echelons of the Constellation Academy and had an exceptional vision. Hence, after Xuanyuan Po finished shooting thirty rounds, everyone had seen the results before the observers reported the results.
All of them hit the bullseye!
“The aim is alright, but the prowess is a little weaker!”
This rating came from the female great teacher who had asked Sun Mo if he was married or engaged.
“Switch to Exploding Bullets!”
Sun Mo instructed.
Xuanyuan Po then changed the cartridge and did another round of shooting. This time, everyone was astonished.
The boulder that acted as the target was blasted with many holes. This prowess could even kill an expert at the divine force realm. Moreover, the terrifying thing was that it could fire consecutive shots.
“Amazing design!”
“If I don’t have my guards up and someone launches a sneak attack at me with this, there’s a high chance that I’ll die!”
“That’s for sure! When it fires, the spirit qi fluctuations are very small. One will definitely not be able to sense it from a 200-meter distance.”
The countenances of all these people didn’t look good. It was because this was a powerful weapon that could threaten their safety.
“Is there a limit to its usage?”
Someone asked.
“No, anyone who can pull the trigger can use
it!”
Xuanyuan Po’s answer caused everyone to gasp again.
“Ancestor Sun, your invention might change the world!”
The female great teacher felt very emotional.
After the firearm design was finalized, production was next. As they were handmade, the process was very slow. Hence, Sun Mo started to research and develop machine tools, planning to start a production line.
Thankfully, Sun Mo was at the ancestor level in weaponsmithing. Otherwise, he would just give up.

Another year passed by and Sun Mo became very busy again. However, after the first Explorer Group that was equipped with firearms returned three months later, they came back with high returns.
“Just relying on fireworks alone doesn’t work either. Once the ferocious beasts get close, their self-protection capabilities are too weak.”
Xuanyuan Po handed over the summary of the operations. “That’s why we need to pair them with a close-combat team.”
“Alright, do as you guys see fit!”
Actual combat was the best test, and Sun Mo believed in Xuanyuan Po’s abilities.
“Teacher, you’ve been working too hard for the past one year plus. It’s time for you to take a break.”
Xuanyuan Po’s heart ached when he saw how fatigued Sun Mo looked. “Moreover, you’ve left Jinling for so long. Aren’t you going to take a look at Mistress as well as Ziqi and the others?” “My original plan is to go back after setting up the factory!”
Sun Mo rubbed his shoulders and thought about it carefully. He had indeed left for too long. “Then I’ll go home in three days!”
In fact, Sun Mo had been completely immersed in his work. Other than wanting to help these Darkness Continent’s aboriginals, it was also a form of avoidance. Only by working non-stop could he forget those unhappy things.
That night, Sun Mo bade his goodbye to the headmaster.
Not long after Sun Mo left the office, some members of the school’s management came in a big group, squeezing into the headmaster’s office.
“Headmaster, we mustn’t let Sun Mo leave!”
“That’s right, he’s too strong. If he can’t be used by us, we can only kill him!”
“At the thought of how the Nine Provinces develop rapidly under Sun Mo’s intelligence, we will never have the possibility of catching
up.”
The headmaster didn’t say anything, but his expression turned cold. “Shut up! Is this the attitude you guys have toward our benefactor?”
The headmaster lashed out angrily. Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads. They knew that this was very shameless, but they had no other choice either.
“You guys really disappoint me. Your magnanimity isn’t even one-ten thousandth of Sun Mo’s. Get lost. I don’t want to talk to you
guys!”
The headmaster waved his hand.
Everyone knew that the headmaster was very powerful and so they didn’t dare to say anything anymore. They could only leave. “Stop right there!” The headmaster let out cold snorts. “If anyone dares to make a move on Sun Mo, then I’ll let them regret being born!”
Everyone’s heart trembled. They knew that the headmaster was bent on protecting Sun Mo. After leaving the headmaster’s office, everyone gathered together for a discussion. “Sun Mo is a human treasure. It’s indeed inappropriate to kill him!”
“Sigh, if only we could let him stay here!”
“I don’t agree with killing him either. He’s someone who can bring a revolution to the world, a great teacher who can lead the world’s advancement. If we were to kill him, we’d definitely become a sinner of humanity.”
The great teacher who had suggested killing Sun Mo earlier felt extremely awkward. He could only say, “I… I spoke without thinking!” It wasn’t as if everyone didn’t think of using beauty traps to have Sun Mo stay behind, but this guy was a workaholic. (Sigh!)
It was too difficult!
When Li Luoran came to look for Sun Mo, she saw him packing up and her mood instantly sank. “Teacher, you… you’re leaving?”
“En!”
Sun Mo replied casually.
“Then when are you coming back?”
Li Luoran swallowed her saliva nervously.
“I don’t know!”
Sun Mo was actually not planning to come back. The chances of him finding Baiwu were too slim. Although he was young, he shouldn’t waste his time like this.
As a great teacher, his true path should be to teach and educate people, spreading his learnings.
These aboriginals led a very tough life, but the people from the Nine Provinces didn’t lead a wealthy life when compared to the people from the modern world either. After going back this time around, Sun Mo was planning to push industrialization using spirit qi energy.
Given Sun Mo’s current status, he had such an influence.
(Automobiles, computers, air conditioners… I should make these things.)
III.”
Li Luoran looked like she was hesitant to speak. Although she wanted to get Sun Mo to stay, she wasn’t related to him at all and had no right to say such things. As a matter of fact, she also wanted to go with Sun Mo, but she was a darkness seed and if this was discovered, it’d bring a lot of trouble for Sun Mo.
For some reason, Li Luoran felt as if the world had collapsed. Her head started to feel giddy.
“Hmmm? Luoran, what’s wrong?”
Sun Mo was surprised. After that, he saw Li Luoran bleeding from seven apertures and then with a plop, fell to the ground.
Although Li Luoran was an intern teacher in the Constellation Academy, she had no rights to enjoy the most top-notch medical resources. However, there was no issue if she relied on Sun Mo’s connection.
Because of it, the headmaster personally gave treatment to Li Luoran.
Right now, Sun Mo was waiting outside the treatment room. When he saw the headmaster coming out, he immediately went up to ask anxiously, “Headmaster, how is she?”
The headmaster saw that there were other people along the corridor and said in a soft voice, “Come out with me for a walk?”
Sun Mo’s heart instantly plopped.
The sun set in the evening, and the burning clouds at the horizon looked extremely beautiful.
“Do you know what’s the greatest tragedy it is as the Darkness Continent’s aboriginals?” The headmaster sighed. “The tough environment? Depletion of one’s energy and effort in order to survive, unable to have any dreams and do the things they want to do?
“It’s none of those! It’s not knowing when death will come!”
Sun Mo was stunned. “What do you mean?”
“The Darkness Continent has all sorts of rules, and the environment is too strange. Hence, the children born in such a place might have body defects. Some defects might never erupt in their lifetime, but most of them would erupt as the individual ages, bringing tremendous harm to the body.”
The headmaster explained.
Sun Mo instantly understood. Wasn’t this a genetic defect? It was just that it’d appear on the Darkness Continent’s aboriginals.
“We’ve always been trying our best to conceal this news, but once the aboriginals were to find out, they’d try to return to the Nine Provinces even if it meant that they had to put their lives on the line.”
The headmaster wore deep grief and pain on his face.
Sun Mo had wanted to ask why they didn’t go back if this place wasn’t suitable for survival.
But thinking of the aboriginals’ population, he fell silent. The Saint Gate would definitely not allow the descendants of the exiled people to return to the Nine Provinces once again. Otherwise, a war would definitely break out. “We aren’t just sitting and waiting for death to arrive. Over the years, we’ve been working hard to research medicine to treat these darkness defects!”
The headmaster turned and looked toward Sun Mo. “Are you willing to help us out?”
