Chapter 1315 Saint Gate’s Drastic Change, Sun Mo Returns!
All the raw materials used for the current experiments were extracted from that mysterious skeleton. The energy contained within was too great, and no experimental subject could withstand it.
Having devoured a god skeleton before, Sun Mo felt that there must still be some mysterious energy in his body, but it wouldn’t kill him.
This should be similar to inactivated vaccines, but it was ‘produced by his body. Hence, Sun Mo provided his blood for Bai Qiusheng to experiment on.
One week later.
“It’s effective!”
Seeing Little Wei wake up, Bai Qiusheng grabbed Sun Mo’s shoulders agitatedly and shook it hard. “Thank you, you gave us darkness seeds some hope.”
“En!”
Sun Mo was very excited too and he ran to Li Luoran’s ward to share this piece of good news with her. “Luoran, don’t give up. There’s hope for you guys.”
“Huh?”
Li Luoran’s expression lit up. She was just about to ask what the situation was when Bai Qiusheng came chasing after Sun Mo anxiously.
“Secondary Saint Sun, don’t be spreading this around recklessly.”
Bai Qiusheng was speechless. He grabbed Sun Mo’s arm and dragged him out of the ward. He also warned him in a soft voice, “Do you want to be eaten up?” “Eaten?”
Sun Mo was perplexed.
“Have you forgotten that the ingredient for this medicine is your blood? If those dying people were to find out about this matter, what do you think they’d do?
Bai Qiusheng was a doctor and had seen a lot of life and deaths. Therefore, he had the deepest recognition toward human nature.
To many people, death was the greatest horror. Under the pressure of death, their beastly nature would take over their body. Even if they knew that it’d be useless even if they were to eat Sun Mo, they would still attempt it.
“Don’t view human nature too highly!”
Bai Qiusheng warned.
“Li Luoran isn’t someone like that!”
Sun Mo trusted that lady. She was now considered his student. “But what if she were to slip?”
Bai Qiusheng tried to persuade Sun Mo. “You have to be on your guard!”
“Alright then!”
Sun Mo shrugged, turned his head, and saw Li Luoran hiding at the ward’s entrance. She was looking over and wanted to come over but didn’t dare to.
“Have a good rest!”
Sun Mo waved his hand and then turned to leave.
Regardless, this was a piece of good news. He planned on continuing and coming up with effective medicine.
“Did I hear wrongly earlier? To think that Doctor Bai actually addressed Teacher as a secondary saint?”
Li Luoran was astonished. (Teacher is so young, so how can he become a secondary saint?)
(Hold on, that spirit qi tempest that happened at the laboratories a few days back couldn’t have been related to Teacher, could it?)
Many places in the laboratories were out of bounds for patients. Therefore, Li Luoran didn’t not witness Sun Mo becoming a secondary saint.
It had been a few days since the spirit qi turbulence, but the discussion hadn’t died down.
“I’ve asked around. It’s said that it’s a worldly phenomenon caused by Teacher Sun ascending to become a secondary saint!” “Didn’t Teacher Sun return to the Nine Provinces?”
“No, I heard that there’s a mysterious laboratory under our school. Teacher Sun is currently doing research there.”
Among the great teachers, some were well-informed and knew things.
“Won’t we know after we ask the headmaster?”
Although someone suggested it, everyone laughed and pretended not to hear it.
What a joke. Headmaster Sun was so strict. If they were to disturb him with such worthless matters, they would definitely be scolded.
“I still think that’s impossible. After all, Teacher Sun is too young.”
An old great teacher who was in his seventies thought of how difficult it was for him to raise his cultivation tier as a great teacher and instinctively felt that Sun Mo shouldn’t be a secondary saint. Otherwise, when compared to Sun Mo, wouldn’t it mean that the several decades of his life had been lived in vain?
He was just about to say his reasoning when he smelled a strange fragrance that made him feel invigorated. He felt comfortable both physically and mentally, just like he was standing in nature after a rain.
Everyone immediately restrained their expression. They wore respectful gazes and tidied their attire, preparing to bow and greet. It was because this fragrance was the symbol of a secondary saint.
But when everyone turned and looked in the direction of the fragrance, they realized that Sun Mo was the one walking over.
“What the hell?”
Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked around. However, the two secondary saints in the school weren’t present.
That… that couldn’t be, right?
Did Sun Mo really become a secondary saint?
Sun Mo walked past everyone and nodded as a form of greeting.
“This scent, could it be some kind of perfume?”
The old great teacher tried to find an excuse, but everyone ignored him. This was because perfume couldn’t have such an effect.
“It can’t be, I wanted to call him Great Teacher Sun earlier, but I couldn’t!”
A six-stars major character sighed.
It was really infuriating to compare between people!
Sun Mo pushed open the door to the headmaster office. “Headmaster, I’m very busy. I don’t have time to give lessons to the students!” Sun Mo frowned. He thought that this was the reason why Headmaster Sun called him. “The Saint Gate sent a letter.”
Headmaster Sun handed the letter to Sun Mo.
“The Saint Gate sent me a letter?”
Sun Mo received it, feeling puzzled. He felt surprised as he opened the letter. The Saint Gate knew the Constellation Academy’s location? Then why didn’t they send out troops to eradicate this place?
The letter was then opened. There weren’t many words. However, the person who had written this letter was extremely distinguished. It was the Saint Gate’s Sect Lord, Su Taiqing.
“Teacher Sun, I’m shameless to be asking this, but please help to take care of my daughter!”
The two rows of words were simple and straight to the point. “I’ll be entrusting Zhiruo’s future to you.” “What happened?”
Sun Mo was astonished.
Su Taiqing was the sect lord who dominated over all the great teachers in the Nine Provinces. It could be said that his power and status were even more distinguished than the empires’ emperors. But why did his letter look like him saying his last words?
Sun Mo had known since long ago that Su Taiqing was Lu Zhiruo’s father. If it wasn’t for this layer of connection, he wouldn’t have shown him so much care in the past.
“Saint Su has gone missing.”
Headmaster Sun let out a sigh and looked at Sun Mo, seeming hesitant to speak. There were some things that he couldn’t say. Otherwise, it’d harm Sun Mo.
“Gone missing?”
Sun Mo chuckled, finding this a little strange. “Is this a joke? A saint can go missing? Putting aside that the Dawn Sovereign has been taken care of, even if he hadn’t, he might not even succeed even if he were to lead a group of great teachers to attack Su Taiqing.”
As a saint and the sect lord, Su Taiqing was more than capable.
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Headmaster Sun smiled bitterly. “This letter was personally given to my spy whom I placed in the Saint Gate. The Saint Gate is in chaos now.”
“Chaos?”
Sun Mo panicked. The one who felt the most sad and helpless about Su Taiqing’s disappearance would definitely be the papaya girl
“That’s right. The Saint Gate’s Sect Lord is the pinnacle in the great teacher world. Who wouldn’t want to take his seat? Therefore, many great teachers have been rapidly rushing toward the Saint Gate over the past few days.”
Headmaster Sun smiled in self-mockery. “Even I feel like going to fight for the position!”
“Insignificant people don’t have the rights, right?”
Sun Mo felt that those people would just be watching the fun if they were to go. “One would at least have to be an 8-stars to contend for the sect lord position, right?”
“8-stars isn’t enough. They’d have to at least be a secondary saint.”
Headmaster Sun sized up Sun Mo. “A total of 13 secondary saints have gone. Even if only half of them were going to take action, it’d be at least a contention between six secondary saints. This great situation is hard to come by even in several centuries.”
Usually, the previous Saint Gate’s Sect Lord would decide on their successor, and the people who weren’t convinced could just challenge them. But with Su Taiqing’s sudden disappearance, there was no one to take charge of the situation and there could only be a chaotic battle.
“A fight between several secondary saints?”
Even Sun Mo got interested.
“Do you want to take part?” Before Sun Mo replied, Headmaster Sun proposed, “I feel that you should give it a try. Don’t you have many ideas?”
Sun Mo fell silent.
“Oh right, your arch-rival Secondary Saint Zhou has gone too. He seems bent on getting the sect lord position!”
Headmaster Sun exposed another piece of news.
Given such a big matter, there was no way that Sun Mo could continue to stay in the Constellation Academy. Even if he didn’t care who would eventually take the position of the sect lord, he had to go back to console Lu Zhiruo. Therefore, he used two days to hand his work over to Bai Qiusheng, sharing with him his concept for the experiments. He then rushed back to the Central Province Academy through the teleportation gate.
A few female students who were munching on mantous were running crazily in the school grounds, dashing for the teaching building. They were going to be late.
When a short-haired girl went up the stairs, she twisted her ankle and fell toward the ground.
Plop!
Ah!
The girl cried out agonizingly. She was in so much pain that cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.
“Qingqing, are you alright?” Everyone quickly helped her up.
“Wu Wu, it hurts so much!”
The girl called Qingqing was in so much pain that tears kept flowing out. She had just enrolled into the school and was only 12 years old. Moreover, as she came from a wealthy family, she was more delicate.
Of course, it was true that it did hurt.
“Oh my, it has become swollen. What should we do?”
“Go and look for Teacher Zhiruo. She’s a really nice person. It’ll take only a few minutes for you to recover if she uses the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands to treat you.” “Teacher Zhiruo seems to have taken leave.” The girls chattered away. They were going to be late and were all so anxious that they didn’t know what to do. At this moment, a warm voice rang out. “In the future, wake up 15 minutes earlier. You won’t be in such a rush then!”
Everyone turned and saw a young man walking over. He squatted by Qingqing’s side and picked up her injured foot.
Qingqing subconsciously retracted her foot.
It was because contact between males and females was indecent.
“Don’t move. I’ll help to give you treatment. It’ll just take a minute!”
Sun Mo broke into a smile, showing off his amiableness.
Seeing this, Qingqing’s face flushed up and she lowered her head.
(Wow, this teacher is so handsome. Why haven’t I seen him before?)
Bathump! Bathump!
Qingqing’s heart palpitated.
“It’s done!” Sun Mo got up. “Hurry up and go to class!”
“Huh?”
Qingqing wasn’t the only one. Her few close friends were also stunned. Why was it so fast? He couldn’t be lying, right?
“It… it doesn’t hurt anymore?”
Qingqing was astonished and immediately stood up, jumping a couple of times. She then took a careful look. Her ankle, which was red and swollen, had now returned to being fair.
This was so amazing.
“He used the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands, right? Given how skillful and handsome he is, could he be Teacher Sun’s personal disciple, Tantai Yutang?”
The few girls looked at Sun Mo’s back view and planned on going for his lessons in the future. They were just about to look for a senior to find out about his identity when they saw a 5-stars great teacher, who was passing by, immediately stopping to bow and greet that young man. “Teacher Sun? You’re back?”
Hearing this greeting, the few girls were all stunned.
This was the legendary God Hands, the double ancestor in spirit runes and weaponsmithing, the youngest 8-stars great teacher, Great Teacher Sun?
(My god!)
Wasn’t he too young?
Most of the high star-level great teachers were the age of old grandfathers, with some uncles amongst them. But Sun Mo was like an older brother next door.
“Qingqing, I’m suddenly a little jealous of you. To think that Teacher Sun has personally massaged your foot!” “That’s right, from today onward, you’ll have to help us get our meals. Otherwise, we won’t be able to remain friends!”
“Sigh, why wasn’t I the one to sprain my ankle?”
The girls chattered away like a flock of ducklings. They then saw Great Teacher Sun turn and call out to them.
“Hurry up and go to class!” Swoosh!
The girls stuck out their tongues, quickly bowed to apologize, and then ran off.
Standing in front of the teachers’ office, Sun Mo knocked on the door.
He had asked around. An Xinhui was still the year’s head, but her main job was teaching and improving herself.
“Please come in!”
Hearing An Xinhui’s voice, Sun Mo pushed the door open and entered.
His fiancée was working at the desk. Other than her, two other great teachers were discussing the Saint Gate’s recent commotion. However, when they saw Sun Mo, they were first stunned and then elated. They stood up.
“Teacher Sun, you’re back?”
Hearing this familiar name, An Xinhui’s movement paused and she raised her head, looking at Sun Mo in pleasant surprise.
Tears gradually welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, the other two great teachers got the cue and left.
“I’m sorry!”
Sun Mo apologized. Although An Xinhui still looked young, only in her twenties, she was actually in her forties.
She was considered an old maiden now.
“Little… hmm?”
An Xinhui had wanted to call Sun Mo Little Momo, but when the words reached her mouth, it was like she was restricted by an invisible power. She wasn’t able to say those words.
(What’s going on?) Coming from a distinguished family of great teachers, An Xinhui had seen a lot and thought of an answer in a few seconds. However, she wasn’t sure.
After all, it was too hard to ascend to the secondary saint level.
“Where’s your grandfather?”
Sun Mo couldn’t say what he felt toward An Zaiyi.
Although An Zaiyi had given the hand of his granddaughter to Sun Mo, it was only because he admired Sun Mo’s father. In other words, Sun Mo was only brought in because of his father.
“He went to the Saint Gate!”
An Xinhui explained, “Is the reason you came back because you heard the news of Sect Lord Su’s disappearance?”
“En!” Sun Mo sat down. “Where’s Zhiruo? How is she?”
“Ziqi and Jiang Leng are accompanying her. I also wanted to go and take care of her, but Grandfather didn’t allow me to. He told me to stay at home!”
An Xinhui looked apologetic. She was Sun Mo’s fiancée, the wife of Lu Zhiruo’s teacher. Regardless of their identities, she should be by the lucky mascot’s side. However, An Zaiyi forbade her to.
“En!”
Sun Mo was definitely going to head to the Saint Gate’s headquarters, but there was no rush. It was better for him to find out about the situation first. “What is the situation like in the Saint Gate now?”
“It’s a complete mess! All those secondary saints want to be the next sect lord!”
An Xinhui sighed.
Amongst those secondary saints, some of them weren’t selfish people. They just wanted to make use of the power that the sect lord had to promote their doctrines and push for a revolution.
Major characters at their level all wanted the world to progress in accordance to their wills!
