Chapter 1252: Saint Might!
Translator: Lord blue
In the prison, Wu You and Pang Tong wandered around aimlessly, looking for someone whom they could get to ‘repent’. However, from the dejected expressions on their faces, as if their wives had run off with someone, they had probably given up.
“This is too f*cking difficult!” Wu You was an optimist, but he had no choice but to accept reality.
Convincing a person was far more difficult than killing one. If the other party was a great teacher whose perspectives and views were already established, the difficulty would be even greater.
“I wonder who set this trial. They’re simply the devil!”
Pang Tong cursed and kicked the wall angrily to vent his anger. “Unless a saint comes in person, no one will be able to complete the mission.”
“Sun Mo should be able to do it, right?
Wu You said enviously, “Didn’t he help Secondary Saint Yang become a saint?”
“He’s still short of two more!
Pang Tong pursed his lips.
“Even a saint can’t account for three great teachers?” Wu You felt that his good friend had underestimated the title of a saint. He was just about to argue with him when his friend tugged at him.
Wu You turned around and saw Hu Xingjiang and Sun Mo turning a corner and walking over
The two of them quickly went up to them.
“Teacher(laoshi) Hu, Teacher(shi) Sun![1]” Pang Tong exchanged blows and struck up a conversation as if they were close. “What is Teacher Sun going to do? Giving guidance to prisoners?” (If that’s the case, I’ll follow to observe and learn from him.)
“We’re planning on checking out the second riddle!”
Sun Mo smiled. In society, having more friends meant more options. Pang Tong and Wu You had walked up to them while smiling, so Sun Mo wouldn’t do the low EQ thing of giving them the cold shoulder and chasing them away. “That’s such a coincidence. I’m very interested in that riddle too and often went to look at it, but I just can’t solve it!
Pang Tong followed by their side. Wu You rolled his eyes. (You sure know how to talk big.)
Many people talked about the second puzzle, but few people came to the scene in person because it was too dangerous.
On the fourth level of this prison, there was a cell. The people who lived in it would always disappear the next morning. Ji Han had done experiments with plants, animals, and convicts on death row. He watched as their flesh disappeared and their bones rotted away, leaving nothing behind in the end.
As for the reason that caused this, no one knew.
“Is this the place?
Sun Mo stood in front of the prison cell and sized up the environment inside. It was damp, cold, and moldy. It was no different from other prisons. Yes, it was just a stone bed with no hay on top of it.
“Plants would be fine, but humans and animals would all disappear!”
Hu Xingjiang threw a glance at Sun Mo with some anticipation.
“Have Teacher Huang and the others come to try and solve this?”
Sun Mo asked.
In Huang Tian’s team, there were various grandmasters, including those in herbology, the study of poison, and the study of spiritual control. If even they couldn’t find the reason behind this, then he’d be able to eliminate many possibilities.
“They did, but they returned without any success!”
Hu Xingjiang added, “The prisons on both sides of it are fine!”
“Open the cell! I’ll go in to take a look!”
Sun Mo suggested
“No!”
Hu Xingjiang rejected him. “It’s too dangerous!
Teacher Sun, don’t take the risk!” Wu You tried to persuade him. “That’s right. You’re the future pillar of the great teacher world. If you get injured or die, the losses will be too great.”
Pang Tong flattered away without finding it embarrassing.
“Would anything happen if I were to go in?” Sun Mo activated Divine Sight, but it showed no abnormalities. The system had clearly concealed the information again.
“We’ve done comparison experiments. It’s fine to go in during the day, but as long as someone stays in for half an hour at night, they will die.”
Hu Xingjiang told Sun Mo everything he knew in detail.
“Open the door!”
Sun Mo signaled to Hu Xingjiang not to worry. “If I don’t go in and have a feel for it myself, I’ll definitely not be able to find the answer!” Sun Mo wasn’t exaggerating. Through the jade cicada and engulfing a god skeleton, many venomous bugs were unable to deal any harm to Sun Mo anymore. The cell door opened and Sun Mo entered. He checked the surface and corners meticulously and seriously, not even missing out on a single gap.
Half an hour passed by.
Pang Tong’s curiosity dissipated and he started to feel a little bored. “Teacher Sun, you better come out first!
Wu You persuaded him.
Hu Xingjiang was even more straightforward. He walked directly into the prison, wanting to get Sun Mo out.
If he couldn’t solve this kind of puzzle, it would at most be an uncontrollable itch in one’s heart, becoming a regret. However, if Sun Mo were to be lost in the process, it would be a huge loss for the great teacher world.
“Let’s go!” Hu Xingjiang patted Sun Mo’s back. “Let’s go have a drink!” “Teacher Sun, did you find anything?” Pang Tong asked casually. However, he saw Hu Xingjiang’s reproachful gaze glaring at him, making his neck shrink. Hu Xingjiang wanted to scold him. (I deliberately didn’t bring this up because I don’t want Sun Mo to feel embarrassed. Yet, you’re still asking?) (Do you have negative EQ?) “This phenomenon is caused by a kind of spore!”
Sun Mo looked at the dusty stone bed and asked curiously, “Who is the last prisoner locked here?
“Huh? Spores? Pang Tong was stunned. (You really discovered something?) “Hmm? Hu Xingjiang was stunned. (Aren’t you too outstanding? But what the hell do you mean by spores?)
“You don’t know either?” Sun Mo continued to ask.
“Oh, I’ve checked the documents, but information on this part is missing!” Hu Xingjiang knew that Sun Mo was asking about the last prisoner who lived in that cell but didn’t die
“Teacher Sun, what’s going on?” Wu You gulped. “Is it related to botany?”
“There is a type of spore in this cell. Under sunlight, they’ll enter a state that’s similar to winter hibernation, but they’ll awaken at night. As for the prisoners disappearing, it’s because they have been digested by the spores.”
Sun Mo explained.
“But we have used various means to disinfect this cell.”
Hu Xingjiang frowned.
“This type of spore has a very strong vitality!”
Sun Mo gestured that everyone could leave now. “You should be thankful that this thing doesn’t have good reproductive capabilities. Otherwise, the entire prison would have become their home.”
“It’s that simple?
Hu Xingjiang did not believe it, but Sun Mo said with confidence.
“What else can we do?” Sun Mo shrugged.
“What is the name of this spore?”
Wu You was curious.
“I don’t know!”
Sun Mo’s reply stunned the three of them.
What the hell did he mean that he didn’t know?
“There are no records of this kind of spore in the botany books of the Nine Provinces. If you have friends who study botany, hurry up and get them to come over and collect the data!”
Sun Mo chuckled. He had naturally learned this from the Darkness Species Encyclopedia. Pang Tong and Wu You then exchanged a glance, feeling very envious. Sun Mo must have found a unique copy of a botany book from some ruins in the Darkness Continent.
“How I wish I could read it!”
Although Pang Tong did not study botany, anyone would want to see this unique book. It was good to broaden their horizons.
Hu Xingjiang felt that this was ridiculous.
(Compared to him, we seem like uncouth fools, defaming the great teacher title.)
“How can a person be so outstanding?” Hu Xingjiang could not understand it. He had lived for several hundred years and had seen many geniuses, but someone like Sun Mo was unique.
(Damn, most importantly, he was also handsome!)
After that, Pang Tong and Wu You followed Sun Mo and Hu Xingjiang, preparing to have a meal with them.
The food was not important. What was important was that they could improve their relationship.
However, just as the four of them were about to leave the prison and return to the surface, a loud explosion suddenly rang out from below.
Rumble!
“What happened?”
Pang Tong’s face turned pale. He could feel the ground trembling, At the same time, Hu Xingjiang’s expression changed and he dashed underground
(This is bad. The experiment has failed. And judging from the commotion, it was no ordinary failure.)
Sun Mo immediately followed after him. Rumble!
More than ten seconds later, a second explosion rang out.
“Teacher Hu, what happened?”
“F*ck you, open the cell door and let me out! “Open the door! Open the door!” The prisoners started shouting. If anything happened to the prison, they, who were locked up, could only wait for death.
Hu Xingjiang ignored them and ran all the way to the underground laboratory.
This place had been destroyed by a huge explosion, and the air currents blew away a lot of things, so there was junk everywhere, including blood and pieces of corpses.
“It’s a goner!”
Sun Mo only took a glance at it and knew that the laboratory was finished. They could forget about restarting the experiment for at least three years,
“Old Huang, where are you?”
Hu Xingjiang shouted.
Swoosh!
A figure appeared beside Hu Xingjiang as if it had teleported and grabbed his head.
Bang!
Hu Xingjiang tried to block, but he failed to open the other party’s arm.
“It’s you?
Hu Xingjiang’s pupils contracted. To think that it was actually the Mad Secondary Saint
His eyes were filled with rage as he launched furious attacks at Hu Xingjiang
Sun Mo, who was more than 30 meters away, felt miserable and had a splitting headache from the repercussions of the battle.
“Sun Mo, hurry up and leave!” Hu Xingjiang bellowed and unleashed his full power at the same time. If he couldn’t take down the Mad Secondary Saint, the entire prison would fall.
However, Sun Mo didn’t leave. He rushed into the laboratory to look for Huang Tian.
He had to find out what these people had done to the Mad Secondary Saint before he could think of a way to stop him. Otherwise, Hu Xingjiang would die here.
Amidst the rubble, Sun Mo found Huang Tian.
“What happened?”
Sun Mo asked anxiously as he helped Huang Tian stop his bleeding.
“Run! Run!”
Huang Tian’s injuries were very serious. Not only had the explosions heavily
injured his internal organs, but after the Mad Secondary Saint’s soul had been separated and he regained his senses, he immediately sensed that Huang Tian was the greatest threat, so he ambushed him.
“Thinking of running? All of you must die today!” The Mad Secondary Saint sneered. With a swoosh, he teleported in front of Sun Mo and slapped toward his head.
When Hu Xingjiang saw this scene, he felt despair.
If Sun Mo were to die, the losses would be too great.
He had to save him.
But wasn’t this madman too strong?
Hua!
Golden light erupted from Sun Mo’s body.
Sun Mo unleashed all his defensive ultimate arts: the Invulnerable Golden Body, Indestructible Golden Body, and the Battlegod Protection.
Boom!
Sun Mo received a blow and was sent flying. His entire right arm was twisted, but he also managed to protect Huang Tian from dying.
“You go first!
Hu Xingjiang pounced forward again and held the Mad Secondary Saint back
“Old Hu, run! You won’t be able to win!”
Huang Tian hadn’t expected that the experiment would allow the Mad Secondary Saint to regain his senses. The results could be imagined. This guy went berserk and started to hurt people. Of course, if the explosion didn’t happen, Huang Tian’s team would not be in such a miserable state.
“Sun Mo, leave first. Don’t worry about Old Huang.”
Hu Xingjiang was fighting desperately.
Of course, Sun Mo would not give up on Huang Tian. It was just that Huang Tian was the Mad Secondary Saint’s target, and carrying Huang Tian on his back would cause him to be chased after by the Mad Secondary Saint.
“F*ck, Teacher… Teacher Sun, what kind of movement technique do you cultivate?
Pang Tong was panting heavily. Seeing Sun Mo run back, he asked enviously,
(Hu Xingjiang is very strong, so, understandably, he can run fast, but how can you run so fast?) This movement technique was extravagant and fast. He really wanted it! “Run!” Sun Mo bellowed loudly. “What’s the matter?” Pang Tong tiptoed and looked toward the back.
Something rushed past him like a gust of wind. All of a sudden, Pang Tong felt a pain in his neck and his vision spun.
“F*ck your mom!”
Wu You, who was a little behind, was shocked and angry because an old man in
a prisoner’s attire had used his fingers as a sword and with a gentle swipe, beheaded Pang Tong, Wu You’s instinctive reaction was to avenge his good friend.
“Go!”
Sun Mo tugged at Wu You.
This caused Wu You to come to his senses and he instantly broke out in a cold
sweat
“Sun.”
Wu You was just about to ask what was going on when the Mad Secondary Saint caught up to him. He swept his sleeve and smashed Wu You into the wall
Bang!
Wu You threw up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if all his internal organs had been shattered.
Seeing that they couldn’t escape, Sun Mo threw Huang Tian away and took the initiative to face the Mad Secondary Saint. He couldn’t just sit back and do nothing, right? Paying someone back in their own coin!
Sun Mo went all out. After receiving only three blows, both of his arms broke, and his chest had caved in as well, with a few ribs broken.
“You should be proud to survive three hits from me!” As the Mad Secondary Saint said this, he tried to throw another palm attack, wanting to kill Sun Mo. However, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed his wrist.
“Great Teacher Huangfu, why are you going crazy?”
Yang Shizhan came.
“Hmm? You’ve become a saint?”
Huangfu Long’s eyes narrowed and revealed a trace of envy.
This was because becoming a saint wasn’t something that could be decided by humans. It required opportunities. If one couldn’t comprehend it, they would remain a secondary saint for the rest of their lives. “It was just luck.” Yang Shizhan replied modestly.
“Let’s have a good chat after I kill them all!”
The Mad Secondary Saint was prepared to seek guidance from him. “No can do, he is my benefactor. It was his guidance that enlightened me and allowed me to break through!”
Yang Shizhan stopped Huangfu Long
Huangfu Long glared and sized up Sun Mo a few times, then snorted coldly. “Then it should be fine to kill the others, right?” Yang Shizhan did not let go, so his meaning was clear.
“What do you mean by this?” Huangfu Long’s face sank. Wait, I remember that your limbs were broken, right?
Due to the experiments, Huangfu Long’s memories were flawed and there were many things he couldn’t remember clearly.
“Repent and be absolved of your sins!”
Yang Shizhan tried to persuade him to stop.
“When did you change from being a great teacher to a monk?” Huangfu Long cursed. “F*ck off. If I want to kill someone, who can stop me?”
It turned out that Yang Shizhan could stop him. After becoming a saint, Yang Shizhan was powerful enough to suppress Huangfu Long.
Huangfu Long realized that he couldn’t do things his way and retreated decisively. As long as he was alive, he would have plenty of opportunities to get his revenge in the future.
All these great teachers would have to die!
[1] The term ‘laoshi’ (old/elder teacher) has been mentioned before. In this story’s context, it is a much more respectful way of addressing someone compared to simply using the word ‘shi’ (teacher).
