Chapter 1173: New Great Teacher Halo Obtained!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining Fearful Silence. Proficiency level: Elementary!”
“Note: After using this halo, it would enhance your aura and cause others to be filled with reverence in their hearts toward you. This can stop them from speaking and allow you to achieve a realm called ‘When spring comes, no bugs will dare to cry out if I don’t speak first!’”
“If you use this halo during a quarrel with someone else, it can let you assume an invincible position!”
After seeing the system’s introduction, Sun Mo was extremely joyful.
This halo was very interesting and its practicality was not bad either!
It was like when a tiger’s body trembled, it would instantly cause its prey to sink into a state of fear. This was especially so if one used this great teacher halo in a quarrel where there was a clash of opinion. The other party basically wouldn’t be able to speak and could only listen passively.
That was very scoundrelly!
Usually speaking, great teachers would choose to use virtue to convince others so people would accept their losses wholeheartedly. So, debates would occur frequently.
In any case, other than being able to release some tyrannical aura, this great teacher halo was useless in all other aspects.
Although it wasn’t that useful, those who could comprehend it were all high star-ranking great teachers who had high prestige that rarely lost in debates.
Only great teachers who had been through countless verbal battles would be able to nurture such self-confidence and demeanor.
Sun Mo did a count. He had comprehended 20 great teacher halos. If he could comprehend one more, he would be able to meet the criteria for the 7-stars great teacher examination.
“A life with no enemies is simply as bleak as snow!”
Sun Mo ridiculed himself and continued to open treasure chests.
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining [National Player]. Proficiency level: Expert.”
“What is this?”
Sun Mo read through the introduction and discovered that it was a skill book that taught about the principles of Go. ‘National Player’ meant that one was at the very peak in Go skills at the national level.
Bluntly speaking, only the most impressive Go players would be able to obtain such an honor.
In the Nine Provinces, the officials and nobles in the upper society as well as the courtesans and servants in the lower society knew how to play chess to cultivate one’s mind and temperament. Even in the modern era, Go was a sophisticated competition.
Everyone would subconsciously feel that people who could play Go were very impressive and had high intellects.
“This can be considered something good, but I have no interest in Go.”
Sun Mo was speechless. With regard to idle entertainment activities, he didn’t like things that would tax the brain. Wouldn’t playing a game or betting be more relaxing than playing Go?
If it was in the modern era, one would still be able to posture on the web due to one’s chess skills. But in the ancient era?
Even the stupid little papaya girl had pretty good chess skills.
“Continue!”
Sun Mo instructed. (If I have spare time to play chess, I might as well use the time to paint some NTR scenes.)
The last treasure chest opened and it was also a skill book!
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining [100 types of Uncommon Spiritual Control Techniques] Proficiency level: expert!”
“Warning. Because these spiritual control techniques are uncommon, even the system has no way to know their complete effects. Hence, there might be risks involved when you use them. If there’s no need to, please do not use them recklessly.”
“Can’t you be more reliable?”
Sun Mo twitched his lips.
He understood that these spiritual control techniques were like some medicines that were invented to target certain illnesses. After some time passed, it would be discovered that these medicines possessed some side effects.
However, being able to learn some more spiritual control incantations was something of extremely great value to Sun Mo.
Spiritual control techniques could summon spiritual beasts. So, one could understand it in this manner – a spiritual control technique was the secret code to communicate with a type of spiritual beast.
If Sun Mo learned enough spiritual control techniques, he would be able to sum up the rules and start researching on a spiritual control incantation that he uniquely possessed.
To spiritual controllers, spiritual control techniques were the foundation they established themselves on. They definitely wouldn’t pass them down to other people if they weren’t their personal students. So, even for the Nine Greats of the Nine Provinces, the classes on the art of spiritual control were extremely few. At most, the teachers would only teach some common knowledge and simple summoning techniques.
For people like Sun Mo who had grasped three great spiritual control divine languages, they could use the three divine languages to birth a spiritual control aristocratic clan. If Sun Mo was willing to sell them, the entire Nine Provinces would descend into chaos no matter if the people were spiritual controllers or not.
If Sun Mo sold these 100 types of uncommon spiritual controlling techniques, maybe no one might buy them at ten million spirit stones. But if it was sold for a million, there would definitely be people queueing.
“Zhiruo, go and get Ziqi over. I will teach you guys a few spiritual controlling techniques, but do not use them recklessly if there’s no need to!”
Because Sun Mo was bored, he decided to teach a lesson.
Over ten days later, Sun Mo’s group finally returned to Jinling where they had been away for over a year.
Jinling—the two shores of Qinhuai river, the embroidered flowers, as many beauties as the clouds, the fragrance of alcohol permeating the air that caused people to feel drunk before even drinking!
…
Everything was well at the Central Province Academy.
After returning to his territory, Sun Mo could handle the minor problem of arranging lodgings for the headhunted people to his subordinates. However, he didn’t do so. He did it personally and even told Bai Fu and the others to look for him straight with no worries should they have any other requests or concerns.
Sun Mo was worried that they might not be used to eating the food here in Jiangnan. Hence, he had spent a huge amount of money to invite six great chefs from the famous inns of Liaojing.
This type of meticulousness and concern earned another large wave of favorable impression points for Sun Mo.
After handling these people, Sun Mo and An Xinhui went to look for Shi Sheng to know the incidents that had happened in the past year.
The most important thing was the ‘B’ grade school tournament. Under the lead of Secondary Saint Shi, although the school didn’t manage to climb higher, they didn’t drop in rank.
This result was considered pretty good for Sun Mo, An Xinhui, and the others.
Indeed as expected, having a senior at home was equal to having a treasure!
“How good would it be if grandpa could wake up!”
An Xinhui sighed.
“He will be better!”
Sun Mo consoled her.
…
After returning to the villa, Sun Mo slept through an entire day first.
On the second morning, all his disciples gathered and were waiting to greet him.
“Teacher has become the honorary headmaster of the Black-White Academy. In that case, we probably wouldn’t be stopped if we wanted to experience the Black-White Games, right?”
Qin Yaoguang’s eyes shone with curiosity. After all, the Black-White Game was something the Black-White Academy was famous for. It was known as the game that couldn’t be cleared.
“A game that has been cleared by our teacher, how meaningless would it be if we still went to experience it?”
Tantai Yutang wasn’t interested.
“It’s truly a regret that I can’t be beside Teacher and share his glory at that moment!”
Helian Beifang sighed.
“Agreed!”
Xianyu Wei nodded.
A year had passed, and Sun Mo’s students had undergone drastic changes due to undergoing puberty.
When Sun Mo came to the living room and saw them, he almost didn’t dare to greet some of them for fear of recognizing the wrong people.
Ying Baiwu first noticed Sun Mo’s silhouette and was the first to stand up and greet him.
“Good morning, Teacher!”
Ceng! Ceng! Ceng!
The others stood up and bowed respectfully.
“There’s no need to be too polite. Sit down!”
Sun Mo smiled.
Ying Baiwu was already very tall before this. Now, she stood heads and shoulders above the rest like a supermodel. (However, isn’t your chest a little too flat?)
The little sunny egg had finally found a comrade!
Also, her dress-style and demeanor, why did she become more and more androgynous?
Sun Mo instinctively thought of the actress with the surname ‘Lin’ who played the character Dongfang Bubai.
“Baiwu, did you start practicing blade techniques now?”
Sun Mo noticed that there was a short blade attached to the waist of the iron-headed girl.
“Reporting to Teacher, I feel that archery has a flaw, so I want to use this solution to mitigate it!”
Ying Baiwu was very practical.
Using a bow for long-distance and a short blade for short-distance. Moreover, a short blade that was a foot long was very convenient to bring around. Even though she wasn’t fond of using blades, she still chose to learn it.
“You can!”
Sun Mo nodded. “But you are still very young. There’s no need for you to force yourself to be so hard-working. You can simply choose some cultivation arts and weapons that you like!”
Xuanyuan Po was now very tall and became even more muscular. However, his build wasn’t one with beautiful muscles. Rather, he exuded a sense of imposing majesticness. His eyes were cold and his gaze was akin to a spear that was capable of jolting down a horse-rider.
“Xuanyuan, you have to pay attention to retracting your aura!”
Sun Mo frowned.
“Ah? Why? I feel it’s pretty good. No one would dare to offend Senior Brother Xuanyuan like this!”
Xianyu Wei didn’t understand.
“His strong aura is due to his spear intent. His mastery of spear techniques has grown too quickly, and it has started to affect his inner organs, qi, and blood. If he doesn’t nurse his body now, hidden injuries will be left behind and this will affect his future accomplishments.
“Xuanyuan, things will break easier if they are too rigid. Combining softness with hardness is then the correct path!”

Sun Mo provided guidance to Xuanyuan Po. The latter didn’t have any change to his expression, but he was very grateful in his heart.
The aptitude of this white-robed youth was truly too good. Maybe he would be able to become a spear saint when he was 20 years old.
“What should I do?”
During this one month plus, Xuanyuan Po had also sensed the change in his body. His qi and blood would surge frequently, and he kept wanting to fight someone to vent it.
Hence, he began to challenge senior students in the school.
He won most of them, and this caused his fame, which was originally not small, to become even greater.
But very soon, no one was willing to fight him anymore because Xuanyuan Po didn’t know how to go easy.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was Sun Mo’s personal disciple, some people would have long since allied together to find trouble for him.
“Give up on the spear for now and practice your fist techniques. I will impart you a fist art later. Cultivate that first for three months to calm your temperament!”
Sun Mo instructed.
Xuanyuan Po frowned. Since he was three years old, he had been practicing with his spear every day and had never ceased training before. But since this was an order from his teacher, he didn’t defy it.
“Your disciple obeys!”
Qin Yaoguang felt very astonished when she saw Sun Mo providing guidance to Ying Baiwu and Xuanyuan Po just like that. (Teacher hasn’t even touched them, right?)
(How did he know their situations then? He can’t possibly tell from just looking with his eyes, right?)
Sun Mo looked at Jiang Leng and only uttered two words.
“Very good!”
Although this youth still had a slightly gloomy and cold disposition, he was growing more and more steady and mature. His self-discipline and rationality allowed him to methodically arrange his living habits.
There was truly nothing Sun Mo could give pointers for!
(Ai! If every one of them was more like Jiang Leng, I would definitely have much fewer worries!)
Sun Mo sighed ruefully. As he glanced at Tantai Yutang, his expression turned gloomy.
“Didn’t I tell you to interact and involve yourself less with poison?”
Divine Sight showed that there were several toxins accumulated in the sickly invalid’s body.
“Teacher, I was wrong!”
Tantai Yutang knelt.
His enemy was too powerful. If he didn’t study poison, he would be able to kill his enemy depending on normal methods.
“My blood can suppress that unknown poison in your body, but I cannot cure you completely. You better cherish your body more.”
In the Dragonspirit Manor, after Sun Mo had devoured that god skeleton, his blood suddenly possessed this type of magical effect.. If it wasn’t for Tantai Yutang having drunk his blood, Tantai Yutang would have long since died.
