Chapter 953: Flaunting Once More
Translator: Lordbluefire
“Oh right, how can you understand our language?’
Sun Mo was curious.
These green-skinned aboriginals couldn’t be the descendants of the earlier-generation explorers of the Darkness Continent, right?
“Through a certain type of plant,” Lian Fangcao replied perfunctorily.
It was a very rare magical plant.
After the feelers of the plant pierced into the target’s brain, it would secrete a type of solution to liquefy the brain of the target. It would then extract and digest the brain juice and generate another type of liquid.
Members of Lian Fangcao’s tribe would immediately grasp all the knowledge contained in that brain after drinking the refined liquid.
Naturally, not everyone was qualified to drink the liquid.
Because the degree of comprehension still depended on the individual’s aptitude. Some tribe members could only understand a few isolated phrases, while others like Lian Fangcao could instantly be proficient with a brand new language.
Sun Mo knew that this was a secret. Hence, he no longer asked.
Not long later, the two of them caught up to the group.
“Where should we head next?”
Sun Mo stared at the green-skinned woman.
He was asking this question now because he wanted Lian Fangcao to give a good impression to everyone. After all, the gratitude for saving a life was very heavy.
“We should quickly find a way out!”
Lian Fangcao stared at the depths of the karst cave with a heavy expression.
“Why? Is there a problem there?”
Yang Xuecai was also an expert at observing expressions.
Lian Fangcao didn’t want to say anything, but because of Sun Mo, she decided to tell them the truth.
“In a radius of 100 miles around this waterfall is a forbidden land of our tribe because everyone who entered would go missing.”
“Missing?”
Huang Chao’s voice abruptly became higher.
(Damn, this is a place even you locals cannot understand fully. For us outsiders, wouldn’t we die for sure if we entered?)
“If you guys retreat now, you should still have time!”
Lian Fangcao’s expression was unfriendly.
That aboriginal who had been killed at the creek definitely understood that he wasn’t able to escape. Hence, he wanted to lure all the students and teachers to the forbidden land to save his tribesmen. Sadly, before he succeeded, he already died.
“No matter whether that fellow is a Half-Saint or not. As long as he enters, he will die for sure.”
Lian Fangcao and the Green-robed Ancestor had exchanged blows once, so she already knew he was very powerful. Most probably, even the strongest elder in their tribe wasn’t his opponent.
Hence, Lian Fangchao would continue to head deeper into the caves. This was her treating herself as bait.
“You are too naive, he is a Half-Saint!”
Yang Xuecai snorted coldly.
The so-called Half-Saints were half-step Saints. They were somewhat more powerful compared to Secondary Saints.
One must know that other than being strong in fighting, Half-Saints had unparalleled intelligence. It might not be too difficult for them to unravel the secret of this place.
“There should be a darkness treasure in here, right?”
Zhang Shihua nervously surveyed the surroundings with trepidation.
Although it was summer, the atmosphere in the caves was very refreshing and cool. There were upside-down stalactites and the aura of coldness brought by the sounds of dripping water.
The other teachers and students had a similar expression.
Normally, the various phenomena that appeared in the Darkness Continent were because of the various secret treasures of darkness ‘causing mischief’.
“Where am I?”
“Who am I?”
“What did I do?”
Wang Zhou, who was being carried by a great teacher, finally woke up. He had a stunned look on his face.
“Are you awake?”
The great teacher who carried him over placed him down.
“Argh, my leg!”
Wang Zhou cried out loudly. He subconsciously lifted his injured leg, but after gingerly testing his weight on it, he realized that there was no pain. He then recalled that Teacher Sun had cured his broken leg.
“Teacher, thank you!”
Wang Zhou bowed so deep that his bow formed a 90-degree angle.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Wang Zhou +500. Respect (1,100/10,000).
“Teacher Sun not only cured your leg, but he even helped you clear a few acupoints!”
Huang Chao reminded him.
“Ah? A breakthrough?”
Wang Zhou blinked. (It’s fake, right? How could I not know when I broke through?)
“Inspect your body!” Huang Chao chortled.
Wang Zhou immediately circulated his spirit qi and discovered that there were six additional acupoints cleared. This was really impressive.
“It isn’t a lie, many people saw it.”
Liang Weiyuan added, “Why are you not hurrying up to thank Teacher Sun?”
Putong!
Wang Zhou directly knelt and kowtowed thrice. After that, he contributed 1,000 favorable impression points.
“Stand up!”
Sun Mo helped Wang Zhou up. “Everyone, we should stop chatting. Let’s continue running!”
“Oh, right. Wang Zhou, the duration of your training is too long and the intensity is too high. You should lighten your training load and time by 10%. Also, your rhythm is wrong, and this causes your meridians and energy channels to suffer some damage.”
Sun Mo guided.
This was the result he had obtained from Divine Sight and the ancient massaging technique.
“Ah?” Wang Shou was shocked. “Working hard is a mistake?”
“Human body needs to be maintained. It’s just like a horse carriage. If you don’t take care of it, it will naturally be damaged.”
Sun Mo gave an example.
“Oh!”
Wang Zhou didn’t know whether to believe it or not.
“Oi, what expression is that? In the Central Province Academy, over tens of thousands of students wish to get some pointers from Teacher Sun, and they will fight until their heads bleed for the sake of getting a seat to his lectures.”
Qin Yaoguang was unhappy.
“No, I don’t dare to. I don’t have such thoughts!”
Wang Zhou denied it three times.
Sun Mo naturally wouldn’t be calculative with a student. In any case, he had inspected Wang Zhou, and it would be a waste not to tell him of it.
“You should have cultivated the Brightheavy Fist for seven years and three months, right? Your proficiency in it is okay, but the tempo is slightly too fast. For this particular fist art, the essence lies in the word ‘stable’.”
After Sun Mo finished speaking, Wang Zhou cried out in shock again. He also subconsciously halted his steps.
Bang!
Liang Weiyuan, who was behind him, banged into his back.
“What are you doing?”
Liang Weiyuan grumbled.
“H…how do you know how long I’ve trained the Brightheavy Fist for?
Wang Zhou completely couldn’t understand. Sun Mo was so precisely accurate.
“What can this count for? My Teacher’s God Hands can even tell if someone is lying or not!”
Xianyu Wei was basking in her teacher’s glory.
Although the amount of time she had spent in the Central Province Academy wasn’t long, she had heard of many shocking performances of her teacher. Right now, the thing she loved to do the most was listening to the glorious deeds of her teacher during her three meals in the canteen.
Hearing others praise her teacher made her feel happier compared to learning a saint-tier cultivation art.
“Is this true? He can even know whether I’m lying or not with just a touch?”
“Such matters usually wouldn’t be spoken in jest!”
“God Hands is actually so terrifying!”
The students all broke out into discussion. When they looked at Wang Zhou again, their gazes were now filled with envy. (Why wasn’t I the one to break a leg?)
(Aiya, should I pretend to fall?)
(Maybe I can use a broken leg to exchange for a breakthrough. It’s definitely worth it.)
Gradually, some motes of light appeared in the cave. They floated in the air and were akin to fireflies. As everyone entered the cave, the motes of light grew in number.
15 minutes later, their vision suddenly grew clear. Everyone arrived at a platform and if they continued heading forward, there was a precipice there.
Those motes of light floated up from below.
“Have we found the secret treasure?”
Everyone’s spirits were stirred. They stretched out their neck and peered downward. But at this moment, a teasing voice rang out, causing everyone to shiver uncontrollably.
“Yo, everyone, the fleeing speed of you guys is pretty fast!”
Lu Wuyin had arrived.
