Absolute Great Teacher-Chapter 1261 - Three Great Inventions, the Standard of An 8Stars Great Teacher!

Chapter 1261: Three Great Inventions, the Standard of An 8Stars Great Teacher!

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Perfect!”

Sun Mo felt his thoughts clearing up.

After the Hero Battle concluded, he would go and take the examination to gain the official qualifications as a great ancestor-level weaponsmith. After that, he would be qualified enough to obtain the 7-stars great teacher certification.

At that time, he would truly become a major character in the learning world.

He wouldn’t need to hug any ‘thighs’ for support from then on. He himself would become a ‘thigh’.

When Yang Shizhan and Hu Xingjiang heard the commotion in the study, they exchanged a mutual glance and entered

“Teacher Sun, congratulations!”

“Sun-laoshi, congratulations on comprehending Telepathic Understanding!”

The two of them sent their congratulations.

“Thanks!” Sun Mo smiled.

“Teacher, what have you invented during these few days?”

Qin Yaoguang entered. She was a bubbly and vivacious girl and naturally wouldn’t be inclined to sit down and contemplate seriously.

“Some toys!”

Sun Mo chortled. He saw Lu Zhiruo hiding outside the door and sneakily peeking with her head stretched out.

It had been many days since she last saw her teacher. The papaya girl basically had no mood to meditate, and she only wanted to see her teacher and chat with him.

“What toys?”

Xuanyuan Po entered as well.

The other students came into the study one by one. Lastly, Li Ziqi opened her eyes and sighed.

“You guys have truly wasted the effect of Teacher’s halo!”

Li Ziqi then entered the study.

“Eldest Martial Sister, since Teacher has comprehended Telepathic Understanding, we can simply ask him to cast it every time we need it.”

Xianyu Wei felt that Li Ziqi cherished this too much.

“Can you guys let Teacher worry less?!”

Li Ziqi entered and saw her junior martial siblings crowding around the desk and flipping through the draft papers. This caused her heart to clench. “Guys, please be more careful, don’t damage them.”

“Teacher, this item seems like a lamp?”

Qin Yaoguang took a piece of draft paper and showed it to everyone. “It is just that the lamp’s structure is too weird. It looks like a big morning glory.”

“Hmph, it’s an electric lamp that uses spirit qi as the energy source. Wrong, it’s a spirit lamp!”

After Sun Mo finished speaking, he suddenly felt that spirit lamp wasn’t a nice term as it sounded inauspicious. He eventually decided to stick with the electric lamp.

The design theory was the same as gas-powered lighting in the modern era.

Using spirit stones as the energy source, he used some spirit runes to extract the spirit qi within and steadily channeled it into a metal strip.

This type of metal strip would light up once spirit qi passed through them. And after Sun Mo carved spirit runes on them to increase the intensity of the brightness, they would be able to achieve the illumination effect.

If Sun Mo wasn’t a grandmaster weaponsmith, it would be impossible for him to create this product. Because he was unfamiliar with these metal strips that could emit light, he would have to search for grandmaster weaponsmiths to help him. But now, Sun Mo could resolve these himself.

“The design isn’t bad, but since so many spirit runes are needed, its cost price would surely be very high, right?”

Hu Xingjiang analyzed.

“Mn, so we have to actualize the mechanical production of spirit runes.”

If it was just based on handwork, even Sun Mo himself wouldn’t be able to create more than a few in a year.

“Mechanical production of spirit runes?”

Yang Shizhan frowned. Although he had never learned the study of spirit runes before, even he knew that this was impossible.

“This is the next topic I’m going to research!”

Sun Mo looked at the draft paper in Xianyu Wei’s hand and smiled. “This one is simple. It’s called spirit energy fan. After turning it on the leaf blades would spin around and create wind.”

“Is it for heat-relief?”

Tantai Yutang came over.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo nodded.

The heat-relief methods in the Nine Provinces were very limited. Poor people would just bear with it or jump into the river for a bath. Meanwhile, the rich would have ice cellars and could enjoy eating ice blocks in summer or get their servants to use paper fans to fan them.

When Sun Mo was young, he had depended on electric fans and ice-lollies for heat-relief.

“What about this?”

Li Ziqi saw a large piece of draft paper with various electronic-circuit-type spirit runes drawn on it. Given her standard in the study of spirit runes, she was already a half-step grandmaster and could be considered very impressive. But even so, she still couldn’t understand them.

“Oh, that’s a spirit particle calculator!”

Sun Mo smiled and felt that this name wasn’t bad.

“Spirit particle?”

“Calculator?”

“What’s that?”

Let alone the students, even Yang Shizhan and Hu Xingjiang were also dumbfounded. Right now, their heads were full of sweat, and they felt somewhat nervous. Luckily, those students didn’t ask them any questions, or they would surely lose a lot of face.

“You guys can understand it as a type of abacus, but you don’t have to calculate things yourself. As long as you input the correct numbers, the spirit particle core within will be able to calculate the answer automatically.”

Sun Mo explained.

Everyone didn’t speak. They were either like Lu Zhiruo who couldn’t understand or Hu Xingjiang who understood somewhat. But no one dared to believe this.

“You are saying that if I’m doing math, I don’t have to calculate things myself? I just have to put the numbers in and I will get the result?”

Yang Shizhan questioned.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo shrugged. “However, it can only do elementary arithmetic that consists of operations of additions, subtractions, multiplications, and divisions. At most, it can calculate square numbers, and it wouldn’t be able to input any radical symbols.”

“What are radical symbols? Teacher, please stop coming up with new terms. Right now, I feel like I’m a stupid

fool!”

Lu Zhiruo scratched her hair and closed her eyes in despair. She felt that her intelligence was being crushed.

Hu Xingjiang cautiously received the draft paper and stared at the spirit runes on it. His countenance was heavy as though he was carrying an absolute treasure in his hands.

“Teacher, does this calculator have a brain?”

Even Xuanyuan Po, who was only interested in combat, was curious at this moment. “If not, how could it calculate numbers so quickly?”

“Elementary arithmetic is a rule that won’t change. If you input the rule in the spirit particle core, it will calculate the answers for you.”

Sun Mo did his best to use language that everyone understood to explain. “Truthfully speaking, it doesn’t need a brain.”

“How can it calculate if it doesn’t have a brain?”

Xianyu Wei also didn’t understand.

Sun Mo felt a headache, how should he explain this?

Their confusion reminded him of when he came in contact with ‘calculus’ for the first time.

“I roughly understood. The spirit runes work as a whole and resemble a human brain. After you input the calculation rule, it will then be able to calculate numbers.”

It was still Li Ziqi who had the better brains. Moreover, she had encountered computers before in the

Black-White Game, hence, her power of understanding was the strongest.

“I don’t understand, but this seems very impressive!”

Hu Xingjiang inhaled deeply and stared at Sun Mo with reverence. “If this can succeed, you will be able to apply to become an 8-stars great teacher.”

Although 8-stars great teachers also required the Saint Gate to certify, even in the Saint Gate, not many great teachers had the qualifications to inspect an 8-stars.

Saints and secondary saints could occasionally do the job, but they were all very busy. Honestly speaking, the fields they specialized in might not be stronger than an 8-stars.

The star-rank represented their teaching and nurturing of people, their accumulation of knowledge, the strength of their cultivation base, and the power of their imagination.

“I’ll congratulate Sun-laoshi in advance for becoming an 8-stars great teacher!”

Yang Shizhan clasped his hands.

The hard conditions for this star-rank were that one had to comprehend a total of 25 great teacher halos at the very least, and one of them had to be a brand new unique one that no one had seen before.

It was said that this halo was a precondition for listening to holy words.

The so-called ‘holy words’ was a type of instruction that saints and secondary saints might occasionally hear abruptly.

It was unknown where the holy words originated from nor who was the one to spread them. But there were no exceptions and all holy words were truth.

The Nine Provinces could have their current prosperity and development because saints and secondary saints had put in the effort to understand and learn what the holy words were trying to teach them, bringing them to

reality.

Some said that this was a fortune from the heavens, a type of protection for the Nine Provinces.

Why would great teachers, especially so for secondary saints, have such high statuses?

It was precisely because they could listen to holy words.

In the great teacher world, there was a 7-stars great teacher named Li Wanjun that had lived for over 900 years. Because he had reached the extreme level in the five following fields: spirit runes, alchemy, weaponsmithing, beast taming, and puppetry, he was known as the Five-extremes great ancestor.

He had countless disciples under him all around the Nine Provinces. It could be said that his teachings had spread through the world.

But even so, because he hadn’t comprehended a unique halo, he wasn’t qualified to become an 8-stars great teacher.

Hence, 8-stars great teachers were also called the barrier to becoming a secondary saint. If one could take this step, this represented that they had hope of reaching the Saint Realm, which meant that they would be standing at the top of the food chain in the great teacher world.

Naturally, the rules of the Saint Gate were strict.

If a great teacher had comprehended a unique halo due to luck but didn’t meet the qualifications for the other conditions, they still couldn’t become an 8-stars as they couldn’t convince the people.

So for 7-stars, the great teacher had to have accomplishments in different fields of learning. As for 8-stars, they had to bring improvement in a certain field. If they couldn’t do so, it was fine if they managed to have a great contribution toward the people of the Nine Provinces too.

For example, if there were floods or drought and one managed to save tens of thousands of lives, this could be considered a great contribution.

However, things weren’t just that.

8-stars great teachers had to go around the Nine Provinces to provide public lectures in major cities with a population of over a million. Anyone could come and listen and give their opinions, as well as ask questions.

This condition, bluntly speaking, was a chance to let people of the Nine Provinces recognize a newly ascended 8-stars great teacher, as well as to provide pointers to lower-ranked great teachers in the various regions.

During the lecture tour, if the 8-stars great teacher didn’t do his best, others might feel that his learning and teaching standard wasn’t up to par. Hence, the 8-stars would definitely do their best to answer all sorts of difficult questions.

“Ah? 8-stars?”

Xianyu Wei was stunned.

She had checked privately and learned that her teacher had just passed the 6-stars examination. Hence, she was even planning to take out all her savings to buy a gift for him.

After all, her teacher definitely would need a few years before he could attain the 7-stars ranking. At that time, Xianyu Wei believed she would be able to save up another sum of money. (But in the end, you are telling me that my teacher can bypass the 7-stars rank and go straight to 8-stars?)

(I have no more money to buy a congratulatory gift!)

( Wrong, my point of concern is wrong.)

(My teacher is currently 6-stars. When I return to my tribe, the other members will surely view me with envy and jealousy. But what if he is an 8-stars?)

(I think I might be beaten up to death by those people!)

“Why 8-stars?”

Jiang Leng didn’t understand.

“I know!”

Lu Zhiruo lifted her hands and wanted to answer.

Because she had been living with her father since young and had seen too many great teachers, Lu Zhiruo was very clear about the condition of great teachers rising in rank.

After Lu Zhiruo finished explaining, everyone was stunned.

“A brand new great teacher halo?”

Tantai Yutang was joyful. “Teacher has long since comprehended one. Soul Imprint!”

“Also, the Battlegod Protection Halo!”

Li Ziqi interjected.. “All these halos are something uniquely possessed by our teacher!”
