Absolute Great Teacher-Chapter 1326 - Desperate Straits Erupt, Saint Appears Again!

Chapter 1326 Desperate Straits Erupt, Saint Appears Again!

No one’s life was perfect. Any human, as long as they were living, would keep on having regrets!

The childhood sweetheart Fang Hong liked the most had died of an illness, so her love also got cut off. Although Fang Hong did get married and have children later on, she didn’t like that husband and thus spent all her time on her work

The greatest regret in Fang Hong’s life was that she could not grow old with her childhood sweetheart and give birth to his children.

This matter had been tormenting Fang Hong and had become a nightmare that she dreamed of every night. Just like many boys, even if they had their own family and career, they couldn’t forget about their first love.

Fang Hong knew that she shouldn’t have such a mentality. However, humans were emotional creatures to begin with, and emotions couldn’t be restrained by reason.

“Poison to another, dew to me!”

Fang Hong reached out her hand, wanting to touch the painting, but she stopped when she was very close to it. She was worried that she would damage it.

“To you guys, this isn’t a famous painting. It’s even meaningless. But to me, it’s my love!”

Fang Hong’s tears streaked across her cheeks and fell like pearls from a broken necklace.

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone’s regrets were different, but without exception, they were unforgettable. If they could be ignored, they’d have forgotten about them long ago.

“Teacher Sun, thank you!”

In this painting, Fang Hong saw her beautiful first love and re-lived those times. Those blissful memories in her heart made her feelings burst forth, and it became an opportunity for her to step into the realm of a saint.

“Saint Fang, those memories that we don’t want to forget are the most priceless gems. They either motivate us, protect us, or console us. They are proof that we are still alive in this world.”

Sun Mo understood Fang Hong.

The atmosphere was a little solemn because everyone had started to reminisce about their past. Only Secondary Saint Zhou was sitting cross-legged in front of the statue, looking straight into its eyes and still making inquiries.

“I suddenly feel that Secondary Saint Zhou is so pitiful!”

“Yeah, of all people, why did he have to provoke Secondary Saint Sun? This is great. His integrity can’t be guaranteed in his old age anymore!”

“No matter how much he struggles, he’s sure to lose!”

In everyone’s opinion, it was impossible for Secondary Saint Zhou to win. He only had a good performance on heavenly stairs. As for the other rounds, he was simply beaten up.

Not only did Sun Mo perform excellently, but he also helped others gain enlightenment to great teacher halos and even become saints. How could Secondary Saint Zhou compete with him?

“Eldest Martial Sister, have you vented your

anger?”

Qin Yaoguang poked Li Ziqi with her elbow.

“Why do I feel like Teacher is a great demon king?”

Lu Zhiruo suddenly felt that the pressure her teacher gave Secondary Saint Zhou was more like the one emitted by a great demon king, making people feel despair.

“Everyone, please remain silent!”

Xu Chunbo reminded. Regardless of whether Secondary Saint Zhou had a chance to win, as long as the time limit for the round hadn’t ended, Secondary Saint Zhou still had the right to continue.

“Come, let’s go and celebrate!”

Gu Xiuxun proposed. Of course, Sun Mo wouldn’t stay here to watch Secondary Saint Zhou’s performance. As for celebrating, it really didn’t matter to him. However, many high star-level great teachers wanted to take this opportunity to connect with him.

Even if Sun Mo was unwilling, he had to maintain these social conventions.

Hence, everyone drank all night.

Secondary Saint Zhou’s close supporters were indignant. The competition clearly hadn’t ended, but everyone felt that Sun Mo had won for sure. It was really infuriating.

Over the next few days, there was a huge crowd in front of Sun Mo’s temporary residence. People were coming to visit him.

Great teachers below 6-stars were not even qualified to pay a visit. If ordinary people wanted to pay a visit, they would have to at least be a prince, princess, or at the level of a prime minister.

After sending off another batch of guests, Sun Mo felt so tired that he leaned against the chair.

“Teacher, aren’t you in the legendary realm now? You’ll still feel tired?”

Lu Zhiruo gave Sun Mo a massage while asking. “It’s not my body that’s tired! It’s my heart!” Sun Mo felt helpless. “I feel that I’ll quit the job after doing it for just a few years. Receiving and sending off guests is too troublesome.”

“Teacher, are you complaining despite getting the good end of things? Many people want to be the sect lord, but they aren’t able to!”

Qin Yaoguang teased.

“Heh heh!”

Sun Mo picked up his teacup and was about to take a sip when he suddenly sensed a huge spirit qi fluctuation.

Li Ziqi and the others also sensed it and raised their heads to look out the window.

In the direction of Saint’s Hall, a large amount of spirit qi gathered.

“This…” Qin Yaoguang was astonished. “Someone is striving for the saint realm?”

“Come, let’s go to the Saint Gate!”

Sun Mo got up and headed for the Saint Gate. Almost at the instant he just arrived, the spirit qi fluctuations disappeared too. In its place, there were all sorts of auspicious spiritual beasts condensed from spirit qi running everywhere.

Pa!

Li Ziqi stomped down on a spiritual rabbit. As she watched the spirit qi dissipating, she pouted unhappily.

It was because this phenomenon represented that Secondary Saint Zhou had succeeded.

When Sun Mo and Secondary Saint Zhou met once again, the latter cupped his hands together, looking very much at ease. He didn’t wear his previous expression as if his wife had run off with a random man but was extremely confident.

“Thank you Teacher Sun for giving me pressure and helping me become a saint!”

Secondary Saint Zhou’s words might look nice, but anyone who didn’t have anything wrong with their heads would know that it was mockery. After all, he was considered to be archenemies with Sun Mo.

Now that Secondary Saint Zhou had become a saint, he was one notch above Sun Mo again.

In the Nine Provinces, saints were amazing and they were the sky. They’d beat you up until you’re convinced by them!

“My teacher is only 40 this year!” Lu Zhiruo pouted and retorted.

(What are you feeling so proud about? Is it worth feeling proud to become a saint at such an old age?)

Secondary Saint Zhou’s countenance instantly turned grim.

To be honest, if other people were to say this, they’d be lashed at for being arrogant. It was because becoming a saint wasn’t something achievable just because one wanted to. However, when the same situation was placed on Sun Mo, it didn’t seem right. After all, this person had broken consecutive records and became the youngest secondary saint.

Xu Chunbo felt troubled. He didn’t expect that after the results had been affirmed, another unexpected situation would pop up.

“To speak a word of fairness, even if Teacher Zhou has become a saint, the sect lord position should still be given to Sun Mo!”

Ji Xiangdong spoke up.

“Why?”

Saint Zhou’s close supporters were unwilling to accept this.

“Because Sun Mo is young. Moreover, a secondary saint has sufficient eligibility!”

The moment Ji Xiangdong said this, many people started to chip in too. Their voices were so loud and their numbers were so great that the voices of Saint Zhou’s close supporters were drowned.

“I didn’t expect Teacher’s reputation to be so high!”

Lu Zhiruo felt happy.

Li Ziqi chuckled. These people’s thoughts were very simple. Saint Zhou was already so old, so how many years could he last? After he died, it would be Sun Mo’s world.

To put it bluntly, even if he didn’t die, he might still not be able to win against Sun Mo.

More importantly, it was because Saint Zhou had been famous for so long and had a deep-rooted network of connections. Outsiders like these people wouldn’t be able to get in.

However, Sun Mo was different. He was all alone, and this was the time to build up his influence. If they were to join him now, they’d definitely be able to get more benefits.

“Although it’s important for us great teachers to improve our own upbringing, teaching and nurturing others is our responsibility and pursuit. Compared to becoming a saint ourselves, it’s a great feat for Secondary Saint Sun to help others gain enlightenment to great teacher halos and help secondary saints become saints!”

Ji Xiangdong continued. “That’s right, Secondary Saint Sun has helped two secondary saints become saints!”

After a 7-stars great teacher said that, he was stunned.

(Hmm?)

(Hold on, two secondary saints?)

(Why is it other than Saint Fang, I can’t seem to remember the other saint’s name?)

Xu Chunbo was an old school great teacher and couldn’t stand such a noisy squabbling atmosphere. He was about to stop them but was stopped by Wei Ziyou.

“It’s good for them to quarrel it out. Everyone will know their places then.”

Wei Ziyou had taken a liking to Sun Mo. Moreover, there were so many people supporting Sun Mo, so he hoped that Saint Zhou could step down by himself.

Saint Zhou felt very upset. He didn’t expect that he still didn’t have much face even though he had become a saint. However, he understood these people’s thoughts.

“Everyone, stop arguing!”

Saint Zhou spoke out with holy words and the place fell silent. Even the insects in the corners stopped making any sounds. “I don’t care about this sect lord position!”

Previously, Saint Zhou did want this position, but now he had let it go. “The reason I was fortunate to become a saint is because I was bent on fighting it out with Secondary Saint Sun.”

“Even if I have to pay for it with my life, I don’t care!”

This was also the greatest reason why Saint Zhou had become a saint. He had risked it all.

“I hold a clear conscience in the matter concerning Li Ziqi. It’s because in my eyes, she is worth nothing.”

His words caused the little sunny egg to clench her fists tightly. It also made Sun Mo’s gaze turn sharp.

“There’s no point in talking so much! Let’s see who has the true capabilities!”

Saint Zhou proposed, “We’ll use the old method that is used to resolve conflicts in the great teacher world!”

Swoosh!

A commotion broke out and everyone became excited.

It seemed that they were going to compete in their ability to teach!

The old method mentioned was to have three rounds of matches.

In the Nine Provinces, children could enroll in schools from the age of 12. Therefore, in the first round, two great teachers would each pick a child at the age of 12 and teach them for three months. They’d then let the two children fight each other. The winner between the two would represent the better teacher!

For the second round, the two great teachers would have to pick from students who were known to be ranked at the bottom of a school. They’d teach their respective students for three months and then let them have a duel again.

Of course, if the duel ended up being a case of weaklings fighting each other, then it wouldn’t be considered a win for either party. The students must be able to show an exemplary performance.

The third round would be to each pick students of the same age in a school and have them duel each other. This round would be to compete in the two great teachers’ judgment and experience.

Sun Mo knew about this. After all, the responsibility of great teachers was to teach and nurture people. These three matches went back to the foundations.

“Secondary Saint Sun, do you dare to accept the challenge?”

Saint Zhou sounded compelling.

Mei Ziyu wanted to advise Sun Mo not to be impulsive. The stage he was on right now could be said to be the best in the Nine Provinces. Moreover, Saint Zhou’s greatest blemish was Li Ziqi. If he were to win against Sun Mo, then he could wash off the humiliation and prove that he was more outstanding than Sun Mo.

Putting aside if Sun Mo would still have the face to assume the sect lord position after he lost, even if he were to do it, others would still feel that Saint Zhou was more amazing than the sect lord.

Hence, Saint Zhou was bursting with confidence now!
