Chapter 1075 - Ancient Sage Halo

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Also, there are other examinees scheduled after me. I don’t wish to delay everyone’s time.”

Sun Mo gritted his teeth and explained.

He had talked about philosophy because he purely wanted to get points. It wasn’t for the sake of imparting the dao and opening the door to a brand new world for everyone.

Now that he had finished his lecture, he naturally wanted to flee quickly.

“Let them wait!”

“Either you die or you continue. Make your choice!”

“Why give him the option? We should just kill him. By doing so, we will be able to continue discussing this topic.”

Among the ancient sages, over half of them had very violent tempers and were preparing to kill Sun Mo.

“…”

Sun Mo had no solution and could only continue on.

(Before I came here, I should have drunk two jin worth of baijiu*.)

Sun Mo felt regret now.

(I can only do my best.)

At the entrance were two great teachers that were responsible for being guards. They had looks of alarm on their faces. Who was Sun Mo talking to?

They immediately went to the door.

After that, they discovered that there were countless balls of light of different sizes.

The voices of the ancient sages could only be heard by the lecturer. Normally, everyone would feel that Sun Mo was speaking to himself. But things were different now. Those balls of light represented the consciousnesses of the ancient sages. Since they didn’t fade, it meant that the ancient sages hadn’t left.

Sun Mo’s lecture was actually so good?

After the two guards exchanged a mutual glance, they decided that one of them should report this to the judges.

At the great hall on the first level, before the Ancient Sage Rampart, it was completely silent now.

Everyone had shocked expressions on their faces like they just woke up from their dreams and found an ugly goblin lying on them and pumping its hips violently.

“Damn, does that Black Doggy Sun have to be so impressive?”

Someone blurted.

At this moment, countless beams of light shone from the Ancient Sage Rampart. It was extremely bright and dazzling.

This…

How many ancient sages were here?

The examinees didn’t know how terrifying this result was, but the examiners knew. Hence, they felt even more inconceivable.

“G...Great Teacher Sun, his lecture is at full capacity?”

This aged examiner had been planning to call Sun Mo, but when he said the words, he changed his term of address to ‘Great Teacher Sun’ instead.

Given his status in the great teacher world, he could directly call Sun Mo by his name. But after seeing his results, he immediately retracted his arrogance.

He was clearly insufficient in comparison!

“1,000 beams of light. It’s full capacity!”

“In the history of the 6-stars great teacher examination, how many times has this scene appeared?”

Everyone exchanged mutual glances before turning their eyes toward the oldest great teacher here.

“Cough. From what I know, this has never happened before!”

The old great teacher mentally mused that this was holding a lecture in the Ancient Sage Building. Only those genius great teachers with boundless futures could make 500 ancient sages pay attention to their lectures. This was a result they could brag about for their entire lives.

But Sun Mo actually hit full capacity?

Honestly speaking, if it wasn’t for the fact that so many people had seen this, he might even feel that he must be blind.

Everyone was silent. After that, they turned their gazes to Baldy Qian.

Baldy Qian was dumbstruck.

The Ancient Sage Rampart’s beams of light flashed like fireflies, and they were like slaps that ruthlessly smacked his face.

(Why did I have to bet with her?)

Baldy Qian wanted nothing more than to kill himself by banging his head against a wall.

(It’s fake! Everything is fake! Hehe, everything will be fine after I have a good sleep.)

“Teacher Qian, remember to copy the Origin Unison Qi and pass it over.”

Mei Yazhi smiled.

Right now, although she had a calm expression, her heart was as joyful as a 15-year-old girl who had just fallen in love.

(Sun Mo, you are so impressive! This result is unprecedented in history! Ai... I didn’t understand back then. I educated Ziyu that a person’s talent is the most important thing and not their looks. But after she fell in love with Sun Mo, I thought that my teachings had been completely wasted. But now, from the looks of things, my Ziyu’s judgment and insight are truly excellent.)

The Origin Unison Qi was very powerful, but Mei Yazhi didn’t have any regard for it. She merely wanted to vent her anger.

“Did Sun Mo get addicted to lecturing? The time is up, but he doesn’t want to come down yet?”

Tong Yiming teased.

For the others, once their lecture finished, they would leave hurriedly as they were afraid of being embarrassed. But Sun Mo actually wasn’t doing so. This was against the rule.

After seeing one of the guards coming down, an examiner spoke.

“Go and get Sun Mo to come down. We know how outstanding he is now. There’s no need for him to continue humiliating us.”

Everyone nodded and expressed their agreement.

“I also want to do so, but those sages don’t seem to want to let him go.” The guard bitterly smiled. “I’m going to report this to the vice sect lord.”

Liang Hongda was currently drinking tea and humming a little tune, feeling very relaxed.

Go and watch the exam?

Stop joking, he wasn’t a masochist!

Right now, only lectures given by 7-stars great teachers would be able to attract his interest.

The lectures given by these low star-ranking examinees would surely be rubbish.

“Sect lord, something happened.”

The guard arrived.

“What’s the matter?”

Liang Hongda furrowed his brow. He sat up. “Come in and talk.”

The guard entered and hurriedly reported the situation.

“…”

Liang Hongda really felt like asking. (Are you joking with me? Do you know what sort of concept the appearance of 1,000 ancient sages represents? It represents that Sun Mo has broken a record again!)

“If Sun Mo doesn’t stop, the other examinees won’t be able to have their turn!”

The guard reported.

Liang Hongda basically didn’t care about this. Rather, he asked again, “Are there really 1,000 ancient sages attending his lecture?”

“Yeah. As of now, they haven’t left yet!”

The guard felt a headache. He was trying to recall if he had been rude earlier when speaking with Sun Mo.

A person like him would surely have great achievements and a high position in the future.

There was no mistake in forging a good relationship with someone like that.

“Let’s go and take a look!”

Liang Hongda stood up abruptly.

Very soon, he saw those balls of light, which were truly as dense as sesame seeds on a pastry bun, hovering inside the lecture theater. They were so bright that they could blind the eyes of people who looked straight at them.

Liang Hongda started for a few seconds before he rushed toward the second floor.

Everyone hurriedly followed.

The sounds of hurried footsteps rang out in the air.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Liang Hongda still had the mentality of a major character. Hence, he didn’t stop and wanted to enter the classroom immediately. But just when he reached the door and was about to step inside, an invisible mental impact gushed over.

Boom!

The weakest among the examiners were at the Longevity Realm, and they were very powerful. But at this moment, they felt as though a big brown bear was pummelling their brains with a gigantic log ruthlessly. They immediately felt dizzy and had a splitting headache.

A few even cried out in misery. Their bodies trembled and they almost stumbled and fell.

So painful!

“What the hell?”

Liang Hongda gritted his teeth and kneaded his glabella as he snuck a glance inside.

Those balls of light could be seen densely filling up the entire classroom. They showed no signs that they were going to vanish. And as for Sun Mo, he was simply selecting ancient sages to ask questions before he answered them...

“It’s impossible, right?”

Liang Hongda felt that this reality was like an illusion.

“Can you guys make it so that those people outside cannot hear my voice?”

Sun Mo glanced at the entrance. When he saw the presence of the examiners, he knew he wouldn’t be able to hide anymore. However, he was more worried that the content of his lecture would be heard by outsiders.

What if he was put to death as a heretic?

“You are too petty. We, great teachers, hold cherishing our knowledge selfishly and not imparting them to others as the most taboo thing of all.”

A sage spoke in disdain.

“You can’t blame him for being cautious. These topics are truly a little rebellious against orthodoxy. We are already dead, so that’s why we don’t mind discussing such things. But for those living, they definitely wouldn’t approve of this so easily.”

“That’s right. For the birth of any new knowledge, it must progress steadily step by step. It’s better to be more stable.”

Some sages understood Sun Mo’s worry. Hence, they helped to shield his voice.

“This building is so magical!”

Sun Mo was astonished. But when he thought of how magical his own darkness illusion dojo was, he couldn’t be bothered to find out how this could be done anymore.

A group of examiners stood at the entrance exchanging mutual glances.

“What should we do now? Should we continue to let him speak?”

“If not?”

“Do you think you can stop the lecture? I feel that whoever acts so impudently will be dealt with by the ancient sages.”

The examiners thought of the mental impact they had suffered earlier and felt a lingering fear.

Everyone was the most afraid of this type of invisible attack.

“Let Sun Mo continue!”

Mei Yazhi naturally would support him.

In any case, there were no disadvantages.

“This is too unfair to others!” Baldy Qian questioned.

“You go and stop him then!” Mei Yazhi chortled.

Baldy Qian didn’t want to go, but when he saw the gazes of the others staring at him, he had no way to bow out and could only go all out.

The main thing was that he wanted to spoil things for Sun Mo.

“I don’t believe this. Sun Mo must be putting up an act.”

Baldy Qian shouted loudly and stepped forward. But just when his foot crossed the door, a blast of mental impact slammed toward him ferociously.

Bang!

His entire body was sent flying, and his countenance contorted as he coughed out blood. After that, he was like a pile of mud being tossed to the ground, lying there limply while he fainted.

“Go and explain to the examinees then!”

Liang Hongda sighed.

He was contemplating whether to retract his prejudice toward Sun Mo and mend their relationship.

There was no solution to it as Sun Mo was a genius!

When the initial shock had passed, the examinees also started to discuss what was happening exactly. They only knew the reason after Tong Yiming came down and explained it to them.

“The ancient sages are asking questions, and we have no way to stop Sun Mo’s lecture. Everyone, just wait quietly.”

As his words rang out, the entire level was so silent that one could even hear a pin drop.

The ancient sages were asking questions?

This could happen?

I thought ancient sages were people with deep and profound knowledge? They had nothing they didn’t know, right? In that case, what did Sun Mo lecture about exactly?

For a time, everyone felt so curious that they wanted to die.

After Li Ziqi confirmed the situation here, she placed her worries down and continued to listen to Lu Zhiruo’s repeat of Sun Mo’s lecture. She also used an image-recording stone to record everything.

Qin Yaoguang was very curious about how Lu Zhiruo could hear the content of the lecture.

In fact, she even repeated the questions asked by the ancient sages.

“How long do I have to wait then?”

An examinee that was scheduled after Sun Mo raised his hand and asked.

“Most probably until tonight?”

Tong Yiming wasn’t sure, but this delay probably wouldn’t be too long.

The truth proved that Tong Yiming was mistaken.

The first day passed…

The second day passed…

After that, it was the third day.

…

The beams of light from the Ancient Sage Rampart didn’t diminish at all; hence, everyone was dumbfounded from shock.

(Great Teacher Sun, how long do you plan on talking? Please quickly stop casting your magic!)

The most anxious people were actually those examiners. They really wanted to know what Sun Mo was lecturing. In fact, they were all standing outside the lecture theater, but they couldn’t even hear a single word.

How infuriating!

“Everyone, it’s enough, right?”

Sun Mo took out his pocket watch and looked. “It has been three days. You guys can go without sleep, but I can’t!”

Honestly speaking, although these three days were tiring, Sun Mo had great harvests.

During the second day, it wasn’t simply Sun Mo alone talking. He would occasionally choose appropriate times to ask questions. Those balls of light were ancient sages and even just a bit of knowledge from them would profit Sun Mo.

After that, everyone conversed as equals. It was like like-minded friends chatting on the internet where one could chat about anything. The topic was no longer restricted to philosophy.

But how could this be done?

Because Sun Mo’s knowledge surpassed this era.

Regardless of whether he was correct or wrong, his words ultimately provided much inspiration to these great sages.

“Yeah, we can’t cause him to die due to fatigue. In any case, we will have chances to consult him again in the future!”

Although the ancient sages felt unsatisfied, they also knew that Sun Mo’s body wasn’t able to withstand such a taxing thing.

Hence, they stood up and bowed to Sun Mo.

“Many thanks to Great Teacher Sun for your unselfish guidance!”

“I don’t dare to accept such praises!”

Sun Mo hurriedly spoke humbly, “These are just junior’s immature thoughts. It’s good enough that you guys didn’t laugh at me!”

The ancient sages smiled. After that, they transformed into faculae and entered Sun Mo’s body.

Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~

A halo gradually formed.

“Ah?”

Sun Mo was startled. (What’s this?)

When the examiners at the entrance saw this, they were directly stunned.

“Damn, Sun Mo has comprehended the Ancient Sage Halo!”

“Damn, what dog-shit luck is this?”

‘This time around, Secondary Saint Zhou tried to be clever but ended up screwing things up for himself.”

The examiners mumbled to themselves, and each of them tried to squeeze to the doors. They then opened their eyes wide and peered inside.

They had only heard of an Ancient Sage Halo but never seen one before as it was simply too rare.

Everyone knew that it was impossible to learn or be bestowed with a great teacher halo. One had to comprehend the halos themselves. However, the Ancient Sage Halo was an exception.

Only when a great teacher had received the approval of those ancient sages when they were lecturing in the Ancient Sage Building would the ancient sages transform into faculae and enter the great teacher’s body, ultimately forming an Ancient Sage Halo.

The greatest effect of this halo was to summon ancient sages so people could listen to their lectures and learn from them.

“1,000 ancient sages. This time around, Sun Mo has struck it rich!”

Even Liang Hongda, someone who had a very lofty and esteemed status, was filled with so much envy that his eyes turned green.

“The Central Province Academy has also struck it rich!”

A teaching head of the Skyraise Academy had an aggrieved look on his face.

Now, Sun Mo was equivalent to leading a great teacher circle.

One must know that the knowledge grasped by these ancient sages might not match up to the current era, but they had many aspects worth learning about.

Even if it was just their experiences, this was already extremely valuable.

“No, even if he is An Xinhui’s fiance, I have to try and headhunt him!”

The teaching head truly didn’t want to miss out on such a talent.

“I think so too!”

At this moment, Mei Yazhi also really wanted Sun Mo to be in her school.

…

At a corner on the first level.

“Teacher has finished!”

Lu Zhiruo stretched her body. During these three days, she wasn’t idle and repeated everything her teacher said. It was simply so tiring that she wanted to die.

One must know that she didn’t only repeat Sun Mo’s words, but she also did the same for the ancient sages.

“It has been hard on you.”

Li Ziqi stroked Lu Zhiruo’s head.

“It’s fine!”

The papaya girl revealed a sweet smile. “I learned many things. Teacher is really so awesome!”

“Those sages also have many thoughts!”

Xianyu Wei added.

“Yeah, how good would it be if we could keep consulting them.”

Lu Zhiruo sighed ruefully.

Just after she said this, a transformation occurred on her body.
