Chapter 1048 - Sun-Laoshi, Many Thanks For Enlightening Me!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Bai Wenzhang's spirit pressure was akin to tsunami waves surging ferociously.
This was because he had abruptly entered a state of epiphany, and his emotional fluctuations were greater than normal, which affected the spirit qi in the surroundings.
Usually, for cultivators, such a situation would also appear when they entered a state of epiphany. However, because their cultivation realm was too low, their influence on their surroundings wouldn't be too great.
As for Bai Wenzhang, he was already above the Legendary Realm.
It was like a giant dragon sneezing. To humans, it might be a heavy downpour.
Sun Mo found it hard to breathe and couldn't help but retreat.
Very soon, people heard the commotion here and started running over.
The first to come by was Xiao Feng because he had been secretly following the two of them.
Now when he saw Bai Wenzhang's current state, he immediately roared at Sun Mo.
"What did you do?!"
Xiao Feng's eyes shone with the light of excitement. (I've finally found my chance. This time around, I'm going to make sure you die.)
"Shut up!" Sun Mo roared in a low voice, "Can't you see that Dean Bai is in the midst of an epiphany?"
For an absolute genius like Bai Wenzhang, he would definitely enter a state of epiphany many times in his life. Xiao Feng was used to it, so he merely wanted to use this chance to handle Sun Mo.
But how could he have expected that when the first word came out from his mouth, a great teacher halo had already been cast by Sun Mo?
It was Profound Words. As a result, Xiao Feng was no longer able to utter even a single word.
(Damn! This is simply a humiliation!)
Xiao Feng was so angry that he wanted to die.
"Noisy!"
Sun Mo had long since found this fellow, who kept making trouble for him, unpleasant to the eye. When the other party was still hesitating, Sun Mo suddenly charged out and arrived before him. After that, he tossed out a punch, aiming for Xiao Feng's temple.
Ah!
Xiao Feng was badly shocked. He stretched out his arm and wanted to block, but he didn't expect Sun Mo to fake that punch.
Sun Mo rapidly changed his fist into a grab and held Xiao Feng's neck before he exerted force to squeeze.
Ge!
Xiao Feng was captured.
Boom!
The others hurried over and in the end, they saw Sun Mo was grabbing Xiao Feng's neck like how one would grab a chicken.
Xiao Feng's face was flushed due to the difficulty of breathing, and he felt both ashamed and resentful.
This was too embarrassing.
"Teacher Sun, why are you doing this?"
A great teacher asked.
If an outsider dared to bully someone from their manor, they would have crushed that person to death. But Sun Mo was different.
Firstly, leaving aside that he was a VIP whom Dean Bai admired, just given his standard of spirit runes, he fully deserved this preferential treatment from them.
"The dean is in the midst of an epiphany, but he is too noisy."
Sun Mo explained.
Only now did everyone realize that Xiao Feng wanted to speak but couldn't do so. They then grew so anxious that their heads were covered in sweat.
"Did he suffer the effect from a shut-up type of halo?"
Everyone was astonished.
Sun Mo was really capable of many things!
Oh right, he was capable of fighting too!
Although Xiao Feng's combat strength was ordinary, he wasn't a newbie. But even so, he was completely suppressed by Sun Mo.
"Can you release him first?"
Yan Sui suggested.
Sun Mo's lips curled and casually tossed Xiao Feng out.
Pak!
Xiao Feng was like a piece of rubbish thrown on the ground. After that, he immediately climbed to his feet and charged at Sun Mo with rage.
Because Sun Mo did operations these couple of days, he didn't bring along his wooden blade. But a bare-handed Sun Mo was still very strong.
Universe Formless Clone Technique!
Swish~ Swish~ Swish~
Three clones appeared and surrounded Xiao Feng. At the same time, a 5-meter-tall buddha statue rose from the ground. And under the sounds of Buddhic chants, it smacked down with its palm.
Bang!
Clouds of dust flew everywhere, along with shattered stones.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Xiao Feng dodged miserably and was choked by dust.
"Where are you looking?"
Sun Mo's voice suddenly drifted from behind him. Xiao Feng was terrified. He then suffered another ruthless blow to his neck before he even thought of how to deal with it.
Bang!
Xiao Feng stumbled forward.
Other people covered their faces and couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"Xiao Feng, enough!"
Yan Sui persuaded. (If you continue fighting, you will lose all your face.)
"Teacher Sun's cultivation art is truly impressive. Also, it seems that he knows more than one saint-tier cultivation art!"
"His combat experience is very abundant."
"Strong!
Everyone was busy watching the show and had no intention to help.
During these few days, Sun Mo's performance had already convinced them. Moreover, he would definitely become a big shot in the spirit rune world in the future.
So, no one was willing to offend him for the sake of Xiao Feng!
Bang!
Xiao Feng was trampled by Sun Mo.
"If you come again, I won't be polite anymore."
Sun Mo warned. After all, this place was Xiao Feng's territory. It'd be best to leave Xiao Feng with some face.
"…"
Xiao Feng roared in rage but didn't dare to attack again. However, he wasn't able to utter anything despite wanting to curse at Sun Mo. This was simply a great humiliation, the darkest moment in his life.
"Sun-laoshi, please come to the study room!"
In the air, Bai Wenzhang's robust and imposing voice rang out.
Hua~
Upon hearing the Dean using the words 'laoshi' to address Sun Mo, everyone was completely stunned.
What capabilities did Sun Mo have? He actually managed to offer guidance to Dean Bai?
And allowed Dean Bai to have a harvest?
Otherwise, there was no way Dean Bai would address him like that.
Xiao Feng was as though he got struck by lightning.
He knew how proud and how impressive his personal teacher was. But right now, he was respectfully addressing another guy younger than him, Xiao Feng, as 'laoshi'.
This psychological impact was even more unbearable and painful compared to him being hammered physically.
At this moment, he felt his mental beliefs all crumbling completely.
Sun Mo followed the sound of the voice.
Although the others were curious, no one dared to enter since Bai Wenzhang didn't mention them. They could only slowly wait here.
After passing through the corridor and a garden, Sun Mo arrived before the study room.
The door which was the color of jujube wasn't closed. So, Sun Mo could see that it was very spacious inside. Bai Wenzhang was currently standing before a large desk and drawing something on a stone tablet using ink.
"In the past, I have never heard the term 'energy' before, but I can roughly understand your meaning. Is it that for all attacks, what is compared at the end is whether the energy they produced is great or small?"
Bai Wenzhang asked.
"From my understanding, yes!"
Sun Mo was very certain.
The simplest example was a nuclear warhead. The greater the energy, the greater the destructive might.
"Capturing energy, gathering and releasing it rapidly with great efficiency...this is the most optimal method, correct?"
Bai Wenzhang asked again.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo sighed ruefully. Bai Wenzhang was as expected of an absolute genius. He understood so many things in just such a short time.
Bai Wenzhang continued asking questions.
Sun Mo answered them.
The difficulty of the questions became increasingly profound. In the end, Bai Wenzhang was even asking Sun Mo about the concepts of the universe and blackholes.
How would Sun Mo understand such things? He could only remain silent.
Luckily, Bai Wenzhang also didn't insist on wanting an answer.
Time slowly passed by.
But even during this rapid Q&A session, Bai Wenzhang maintained an extremely fast drawing speed, transferring the inspiration in his mind that was like a waterfall pouring down in torrents onto the paper.
All of a sudden, Bai Wenzhang stopped drawing.
BOOM!
The air violently trembled. After that, a vast amount of spirit qi gathered over and formed a gigantic spirit qi tornado that poured into the spirit rune on the stone tablet.
Sun Mo's expression gradually changed because the infusion of spirit qi didn't stop. This indicated that this spirit rune might be of the highest quality.
Cui Shun`en and the others appeared at a location far away as they stared in this direction.
(It seems that the dean has invented a new spirit rune again?)
The spirit qi fluctuations only vanished after a total of 15 minutes.
Bai Wenzhang stared at the spirit rune on the stone tablet and muttered to himself noiselessly.
Sun Mo walked over.
This stone material was very rare. It was called the Earthcore Mica and was very effective in containing large amounts of spirit qi. Also, everyone knew that the more spirit qi a spirit rune contained, the greater the destructive might would be when the spirit rune was unleashed.
"Let's head to the experimental ground!"
Bai Wenzhang spoke and went toward the experimental ground outside the manor.
Everyone hurriedly followed.
At this moment, not a single one of them wasn't curious.
15 minutes later, everyone stopped at an empty area.
"This is the No. 1 experimental ground. It is used to test various spirit runes and the combat strength of experimental subjects."
Bai Wenzhang explained. After that, he threw out the spirit rune with all his might. When it flew for several meters and became a black dot in the visions of everyone, Bai Wenzhang pulled out his sword and slashed out.
Swish~
A crescent-shaped blade shot out, precisely cutting into the stone tablet.
Ka!
The stone tablet cracked open and immediately shone with piercing light akin to a coconut-sized sun. After that, a rumbling sound rang out as it exploded.
The people who followed them didn't dare to speak. Their hearts were filled with curiosity and in the end, they only heard the sounds of an explosion and saw a stretch of whiteness filling their visions, obscuring their sights.
If it was an ordinary person looking at this, their eyes would have been blinded.
Just when everyone closed their eyes, a gigantic impact gusted over, causing even the ground to tremble.
Everyone didn't want to miss this scene so they bore with the discomfort and opened their eyes. In the end, they saw a gigantic ball of light blasting downward, looking like the maw of a gigantic beast that ruthlessly took a bite off the ground.
When the ball of light vanished, a gigantic crater with a radius of 50+ meters remained.
Si~
(What spirit rune is this?)
Everyone's expressions were filled with shock.
A spirit rune could actually contain such destructive power?
They stared at Bai Wenzhang but discovered that he was frowning. Clearly, he wasn't satisfied with the destructive effect.
"What do you think?"
Bai Wenzhang asked.
Everyone hurriedly pricked their ears, wanting to secretly listen in.
There was no need to ask. This new spirit rune must be the one that was comprehended by Bai Wenzhang in his epiphany after Sun Mo's words had enlightened him. If not, he wouldn't be so bothered about Sun Mo's opinion.
"Very excellent!" Sun Mo praised.
"Sun-laoshi, are you making fun of me?" Bai Wenzhang frowned. "There's no need for such politeness between us."
"Alright then."
Sun Mo shrugged. "The destructive might of your spirit rune is still passable. However, the activation method is too inferior, and it is easy for the user to injure or kill themselves. It isn't very practical."
(Isn't this simply a large hand grenade? The main point is that ordinary people are different from you and won't be able to toss the grenade so far or to hit their target precisely. Also, by the time you throw it out, your enemy would have fled. Moreover, it is very easy for you to bomb yourself to death as well.)
The spectators glanced at Sun Mo with weird expressions.
(Dean Bai was acting polite, but you really dared to raise your opinion? How impressive! If one doesn't know better, they might even think that you are the boss here!)
"Who do you think you are?"
When Xiao Feng saw this scene, he was very unhappy. But when he spoke, he was scolded by Bai Wenzhang.
"Shut up and get lost."
After Bai Wenzhang finished speaking, he muttered irresolutely to himself again. "Your words are correct, but how do I improve this? You should already have a more mature design in mind, right?"
"You have seen a ballista before, right? You can activate the spirit rune in your hand and wait for it to generate energy before aiming it and launching it."
Sun Mo's idea was to turn himself into a mobile fortress.
Naturally, the things he fired would be light beams and energy cannons instead of flame bullets or lightning.
Bai Wenzhang immediately understood. He nodded and revealed an enlightened expression. After that, he bowed to show his thanks to Sun Mo.
"Sun-laoshi, many thanks for enlightening me!"
