There were some genius students with sharp observation skills in the surroundings. When they saw Na Muqi’s expression, they immediately grabbed their weapons and stared at the hungry wolf with wariness.
Roar!
The hungry wolf also felt that something was wrong. As a low-roar sounded from its throat, it stared at the students with hostility.
“Everyone, please relax!”
Sun Mo smiled. “We great teachers are here. How can we let the departed soul of a hungry wolf wreak havoc?”
The students smiled awkwardly. It was true. Sun Mo was someone who had broken the speed-clearing record of the Dragon Subduing Palace. He was a very strong fighter.
If this hungry wolf met Sun Mo in a fight, it could be said that it was extremely unlucky.
“You became skinny and frail because of overdrafting your spirit qi. You suffer from insomnia and have nightmares because this is a special phenomenon caused by departed spiritual beasts. Even if you successfully formed a spiritual contract with it, such situations would still occur. They can’t be avoided. Hence, if you want to summon spiritual beasts, you have to take precautions based on the type of spiritual beasts you are summoning.”
Sun Mo explained.
“What should we do then?”
Many students were curious.
“Eat alchemy pills that can calm your minds and spirits. However, I suggest tonic food.”
Sun Mo glanced at the surroundings and sincerely spoke, “To spiritual controllers, it doesn’t mean the stronger the spiritual beast, the better. Instead, what’s important is the degree of closeness both parties share.
“So, it depends on your personality, cultivation arts, the environment you are staying in, the geographical factors, and even your habits.
“You guys can treat summoning spiritual beasts like marrying a wife or getting married to a guy. If the other party isn’t good, you will surely lead a life of misery.”
For the three of Sun Mo’s current spiritual beasts, other than the fact he had to frequently monitor the scarab and warned it not to create trouble, he let them roam freely for the vast majority of the time.
After all, in this world, no lifeforms liked to be enslaved.
“Marriage? This argument is pretty fresh!”
The students were in fervent discussion.
Tuoba Cong didn’t understand, but he hurriedly took down notes. Sun Mo was so impressive, and his words definitely had some standard to them.
Maybe, he could use these words in the future to flaunt.
The middle-aged great teacher showed praise on his face as he nodded.
“T…Teacher, what should I do now?”
Na Muqi panicked.
“Just look at your reaction. With your mentality, you are really not suitable to be a spiritual controller.”
Sun Mo walked to the hungry wolf’s side and stretched out his hands to touch its head. However, the wolf evaded it and was glaring at him malevolently.
“Now, there’s still a chance for you to complete the spiritual agreement with it. However, I think you probably no longer want it, right?”
Sun Mo asked.
Na Muqi hurriedly nodded. (During this period, I’ve lived a life so painful that I would rather die. I will give such a trashy spiritual beast away to whoever wants it.)
Sun Mo looked at the hungry wolf with a deep expression in his gaze.
After the hungry wolf howled a few times, it suddenly choked and was like a wild dog waiting to be slaughtered. It lowered his head and stared pitifully at Sun Mo.
It didn’t dare to retaliate because there were many powerful humans here. They were strong enough to kill it.
But it made sense. How strong would a departed spirit summoned by a fifth-year student be?
“If you beg for mercy, it’s gonna be hard for me, alright?”
Sun Mo sighed.
Logically speaking, they ought to kill the wolf. But it actually had gained intelligence and knew how to make use of Na Muqi to secure a stable source of food.
This indicated that the hungry wolf had become a sentient lifeform. Moreover, departed spirits were extremely rare and it wasn’t easy for them to survive.
“Forget it, I will spare you, but you have to promise that you won’t harm any humans again.”
Sun Mo warned.
The hungry wolf walked toward Sun Mo before lying down and licking his shoes.
This scene caused many people to marvel.
“Teacher, is she cured just like this?”
Xiao Ri`nan was curious.
“Nope, she still has the negative binding effect caused by the spiritual backlash on her body.”
As Sun Mo spoke, he snapped his fingers.
Pak!
Freedom Proof was cast.
A golden arrow manifested and shot toward Na Muqi. After it penetrated her body, a purplish-black smoke started to emit from her.
“What?”
The middle-aged great teacher had a look of immense shock on his face.
(What spiritual controlling technique is this? Why have I never seen it before?)
“Get everyone in your dorm to come and look for me tonight.”
Sun Mo instructed Na Muqi.
That hungry wolf didn’t spare her dorm mates. Hence, during this period, all of them also suffered from insomnia and nightmares.
“Ah? They are all harmed as well?”
Tuoba Cong feigned shock, but in reality, his actions were taken to help Sun Mo boost his fame, so everyone would know how much Sun Mo had to do.
“Don’t be so talkative!”
Duanmu Li glared at Tuoba Cong.
(Didn’t you see Sun Mo intentionally spoke very softly when he said that? He didn’t want many people to know, or they would surely resent Na Muqi.)
After all, those innocent people who suffered from this definitely felt unbearable.
“Thank you Teacher Sun, I’ve remembered your instructions.”
Na Muqi knelt and kowtowed.
After being hit by that golden arrow, she immediately felt much more relaxed. It was like the gloominess in her heart had vanished and turned sunny and bright.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Na Muqi +5,000. Respect (5,500/10,000).
When Sang Ge saw this scene, he felt his scalp turning numb as a deep sense of helplessness appeared in his heart.
(He even knows spiritual controlling techniques? His strength could simply cause others to feel despair.)
Wanyan Zhenghe didn’t even have the energy to scold his people. He was completely dumbstruck.
One must know that he had plotted against Sun Mo twice, but despite his meticulous plans, he still failed.
In the end, Sun Mo settled everything in a relaxed manner.
Hu~
Wanyan Zhenghe took a deep breath of air. He felt that the Central Plains were truly impressive. They could produce a genius whose strength was so overwhelming and unmatchable every few hundred years.
“No wonder none of the Jin Kings of the past generations succeeded in heading south and conquering the Central Plains!”
Wanyan Zhenghe sighed. His ambition of conquering and reigning supreme in the Central Plains was directly crushed.
“Don’t learn the art of spiritual control anymore. You don’t have talent in this area.”
Sun Mo truthfully spoke.
Na Muqi’s expression became dim, and she felt somewhat unwilling.
“Great Teacher Sun is correct. You don’t have talent in the art of spiritual control. If you continue learning it, you will die within five years.”
The middle-aged great teacher who had been staying at the side the whole time walked out.
Upon seeing him, the students hurriedly lowered their heads and greeted. He was none other than a 6-star great teacher named Meng Tai. His expertise was in the study of spiritual control.
Naturally, the reason why the students recognized him was because his battle servant, a mountain condor, was simply too famous. Regardless of combat or riding it around as it soared through the air, it just looked very cool.
“This is Teacher Meng.”
Duanmu Li took the initiative to introduce this person to Sun Mo.
Na Muqi majored in the study of spiritual control and naturally was acquainted with Meng Tai. She even wanted to enter his tutelage. But now that she was evaluated to be talentless by him, her entire body was like a frosted tomato wilting away.
“Could it be that I don’t have a path to success?” Na Muqi was tearful.
“You can learn alchemy.” Sun Mo guided.
“I also want to, but I don’t have any talent regarding that.”
Na Muqi had tried such a popular subject.
“You are wrong. You don’t necessarily have to learn how to concoct pills. Why can’t you be a pill assistant? Your skill in gathering information, sorting, organizing, and summarizing things are extremely strong. Grandmaster alchemists actually need an assistant like you very much.”
Sun Mo advised.
This was the suggestion shown by Divine Sight, so it shouldn’t be wrong.
“Many thanks for your guidance, Teacher Sun!”
Na Muqi decided to give it a try. After that, she froze when she recalled that she had received instructions from the little prince to come and make things difficult for Sun Mo. She didn’t know if she should make things clear.
“Alright, just let the past incidents pass. Go and begin your new life!”
Sun Mo encouraged.
He was very confident now. Wanyan Zhenghe’s plans to make trouble for him would only give him free white stars.
“Teacher, should we continue or should we receive the guest?”
Tuoba Cong acted like a lackey. Those who didn’t know would even assume that he was Sun Mo’s personal student.
“Teacher Sun, please continue. You don’t have to mind me.”
Meng Tai chortled and retreated to the side.
“How would I dare to neglect Teacher Meng?”
Sun Mo spoke respectfully, but in his heart, he wanted to take this chance to rest. Even if he continued to work hard, he wouldn’t get first place anyway. So, why did he need to tire himself out?
“Hehe!”
Meng Tai stroked his beard and felt very satisfied. This Sun Mo was very sensible. (In the future, if there’s a chance to do so, I will offer guidance to him.)
“Teacher Sun!”
Jiang Ji walked out from the crowd.
“Teacher Jiang!”
Sun Mo saw a youth following behind Jiang Ji. This should be a disciple he was teaching meticulously. “How is your condition now?”
“Many thanks for your concern, Teacher Sun.”
Jiang Ji sighed.
During these few days, his four limbs would occasionally tremble. Let alone holding a weapon, he even found it hard to hold a brush. To a great teacher, this was an extremely serious problem.
If it wasn’t for him wanting to win against Sun Mo, he would have returned to the Central Plains.
To Jiang Ji, being promoted to a higher star-rank wasn’t a problem. He only wanted to challenge Sun Mo.
“Teacher Sun, please grant me my wish and allow your disciple to fight against mine!”
Jiang Ji clasped his hands and sincerely pleaded.
“You’ve accepted a personal student?”
Sun Mo stared at this youth named Tuo`er. After observing his stats, Sun Mo couldn’t help but sigh ruefully. As expected, Jiang Ji was the #1 ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings. His judgment skill was truly potent.
The potential value of this young fellow was extremely high.
“Mn!”
Jiang Ji looked at Tuo`er with a look of doting in his eyes.
“You should return to the Central Plains and get cured first. This battle can be arranged in the future.”
Sun Mo was helpless. “Xianyu Wei is someone I guided meticulously, but sadly, she went to participate in the hunting king competition.”
“I’ll wait for her to return then!”
Jiang Ji had decided. If they arranged a battle in the future, it would no longer be during the examination period. Even if his student won then, it would be meaningless.
“Teacher Jiang, why must you do this?”
Sun Mo shook his head.
“Teacher Sun, why don’t you allow me to fight instead?”
Xiao Ri`nan stepped out. “Under your guidance, I feel that I have made a great improvement this couple of weeks. Teacher, I’m willing to fight for your honor!”
“The legs of this fellow are cured?” Wanyan Zhenghe was astonished.
“It should be Teac…Sun Mo who treated him.”
Sang Ge almost referred to Sun Mo as Teacher Sun. He immediately jumped and almost slapped himself.
“It’s fine to address him like that. Given Sun Mo’s capabilities, he is worthy to be addressed as ‘Teacher Sun’.”
Wanyan Zhenghe’s state of heart had changed. He decided to seek advice from his royal father and personal teacher Suolantu on what to do.
…
“Let’s fight a round first as a warm-up then.”
Jiang Ji didn’t mind. Even if they lost, this fight would help Tuo`er gain some experience.
“Teacher!”
Xiao Ri`nan’s eyes were filled with an earnest expression as he looked at Sun Mo.
He sought Sun Mo’s permission to fight because he wanted to use this opportunity to let the teachers and students of the Dragon Subduing Academy know that he was back. He wanted to tell them that he, Xiao Ri`nan, had returned and become even stronger.
“Alright then!”
Sun Mo permitted. “However, stop when it’s appropriate. You are not allowed to injure your opponent.”
