Absolute Great Teacher-Novel2

Chapter 1240: Showing Off

Translator: Lordbluefire

Only now did everyone notice that this middle-aged man had legs resembling noodle strands. They were dangling on the floor limply.

“The people from the Dragon Subduing Academy were ruthless enough, they directly broke the bones of this daddy and shattered them completely. Not only that, but they also crushed my tendons and muscles.”

The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of saliva.

“Since you dared to try and steal their school’s ultimate art, you naturally had to be prepared to be beaten to death if caught.”

Pang Tong coldly snorted. “I actually feel that they were already very benevolent for not beating you half to death and hanging you up to warn the rest.”

“Ha, my skill was inferior so I could only concede.”

The middle-aged man’s eyeballs spun and swept across these people. “As for you guys, do you all want to know a secret regarding the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture?”

Everyone’s ears pricked as their interests were stirred.

“What secret?” Wu You asked.

“I can’t reveal it for nothing, right?”

The middle-aged man looked at Ji Han. “I’ve been imprisoned for so long, and my mouth is so dry that even birds wouldn’t mind nesting in it. How about preparing a banquet for this daddy first?”

Sun Mo directly turned and left.

“Eh?”

Ji Han originally wanted to berate the middle-aged man for wanting a mile. In the end, after seeing Sun Mo departing, he was completely stunned. “Teacher Sun, are you not interested?”

The others also looked over.

“I’m not interested!”

Sun Mo mentally mused that he had long since learned it. There was no one more familiar with the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture than him.

“Teacher Ji, how about setting up a banquet for him?”

“Do you believe his nonsense? If he knew the secret of this divine art, would he still be here?”

“That’s right. He would have long since been killed by people!”

The great teachers were only shocked by the grand reputation of the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. But after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible for the middle-aged man to know anything.

Otherwise, given the fact that Ji Han and the prison guards had been here since the beginning, they would have forced this prisoner to spit out everything.

“Ai, you guys, don’t leave. Listen to me, I really know something. For that divine art, there are no written records, you can only learn it after gaining the approval of the divine dragon!”

The middle-aged man shouted loudly.

“Are there even dragons in this year and age? Have you been imprisoned for too long that your brains rotted?”

Pang Tong sneered.

Everyone quickly caught up to Sun Mo.

“Teacher Ji, if you guys have any manuals you don’t need, I’m willing to fork out a high price to buy them!”

Lu Guodong spoke in a low voice.

The middle-aged man’s legs were indeed broken, but his complexion was much better compared to some prisoners on the first level. This indicated that he was using the knowledge he had pilfered as a trade to gain some benefits.

“Come and look for me tonight!”

Ji Han replied openly. This external source of revenue was something publicly known in the Great Prison. Even if the Saint Gate’s Sect Lord was here, he wouldn’t be able to interfere.

If there weren’t such benefits, who would be willing to come to this god-forsaken place to guard it?

“Teacher Sun, I’ve plenty of good stuff here, we should interact more!”

Ji Han expressed his good will. He knew that geniuses like Sun Mo had many ultimate trump cards.

Upon hearing this, everyone was incomparably envious. As expected, geniuses would be regarded highly no matter where.

“I thank Teacher Ji for your kind intentions!”

Sun Mo smiled.

“Teacher Sun, listen to my advice. Humans shouldn’t be too aloof. You won’t suffer from learning an additional skill or two.”

Lu Guodong advised sincerely.

“I really don’t have the need to!”

Sun Mo mentally mused that he had the Immemorial Vairocana. He could simply ‘beat’ any skill he wanted out of his opponents.

(Oh, right. I also have the Empowerment Divine Art now. I can absorb the power of my opponents until they become idiots.)

Sun Mo had obtained a set of information about the prisoners from the prison warden. Hence, as long as he did a reference, he would know the name and origin of this prisoner.

This prisoner with broken legs was Yu Lin, and he had a hobby of stealing. In the Nine Provinces, he was a famous godly thief, and he had depended on his great teacher title to conceal his identity. He had stolen many things before, even secret treasures from the royalty. It could be said that his guts were so great that they could cover the sky.

Very soon, everyone reached the entrance to the fourth level.

This was a long and narrow tunnel that contained faint-white poison mist. There were also a large number of stiff bug corpses lying on the ground. With just a glance, everyone knew that this was a place the living shouldn’t enter.

“Poison mist?”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Yes!” Ji Han teased. “Don’t tell me you are also knowledgeable about the study of poison?”

“As the saying goes, you will get your shoes wet sooner or later if you walk at the side of a river. Even if you guys have a skill bordering on the magical level when it comes to using poison, you all shouldn’t have set a puzzle like that.”

Sun Mo reminded him.

“Teacher Sun, don’t be brash. It’s fine even if we can’t resolve this puzzle. We are examinees and we can request for a poison-evading pill.”

Someone reminded Sun Mo.

“That’s right, Teacher Sun, you shouldn’t be reckless. Although this poison mist...”

Pang Tong continued but he was soon berated by Ji Han.

“Shut up!”

Ji Han coldly glared at Pang Tong. “Does he need you to be so mouthy?”

“Great Teacher Ji, there’s no need to be angry. Isn’t it just the effects caused by the poison mist? Even if Teacher Pang didn’t say anything, I know them too!”

Sun Mo’s lips curled. “The poison mist will take effect not only via breathing. If one comes in contact with the air particles, the poison mist will be able to seep into one’s body through their pores. The poison won’t kill you, but the one being poisoned might feel their four limbs becoming soft. Moreover, they will also keep farting, dispelling all the spirit qi within their body.”

“Ah?”

Ji Han’s expression was like seeing a female ghost who wanted to scare people. But in the end, that female ghost was being pressed onto the ground by a muscular male and...until all her juices flowed out.

(Damn, you even know this? Are you still a human?)

“There are so many corpses of bugs on the ground. Their death states already showed me the answer.”

Sun Mo kicked away a bug with his leg. “The reason why you guys set this puzzle wasn’t to kill people. Rather, it was to capture people trying to escape. Hence, I can roughly determine what poison is being used here.”

“Hmph, you’ve won!”

Ji Han moved his hands and searched his robes, preparing to take out a poison-evading pill for Sun Mo.

He didn’t ask Sun Mo how to dispel the poison because that would be a hooligan-like act. Even the strongest poison master wouldn’t dare to say that they could dispel a poison concocted by others completely.

“Thanks, but it’s fine!”

Sun Mo modestly spoke and entered the poison mist.

“What?”

Everyone was stunned. What was he doing? Had he gone mad?

Although they all had obtained the poison-evading pill, Ji Han had kept making things difficult for them, as he wanted to establish his might. He wanted to force them to pass this tunnel in a single attempt no matter what. In the end, everyone had been poisoned despite having the poison-evading pill.

They had either vomited or had diarrhea, causing their pants to be filled with the stench of urine and shit. They had also continuously farted, causing the spirit qi in their bodies to leak. That was simply a nightmare.

A few examinees that were seven feet tall would shed tears every night silently, wanting to return home.

“He should have a poison-evading treasure on his body, right?”

The old farmer guessed.

He was a grandmaster in herbology. Even someone like him had had to use five days to analyze this puzzle. He had poisoned over tens of little animals before he managed to find out the composition of this poison mist.

“Have you guys forgotten how Lian Hongying suffered? She is a grandmaster poison master, but she still couldn’t do anything to Sun Mo!”

Lu Guodong sighed ruefully.

“Let’s go. Teacher Sun might be able to clear five levels consecutively today.”

Wu You wanted to see how many levels Sun Mo could clear in one go.

Sun Mo passed through the tunnel and patted away the dust and dirt on his shirt.

A few years ago, after he had killed the Green-robed Old Ancestor in the Greenhaze Forest, he obtained the Green-robed Old Ancestor’s treasure, the white jade cicada.

This was a mysterious species ranked ninth on the magical darkness species list. As long as one consumed it, they would be immune to all poison. It could be said to be the species all poison masters and gu masters hated the most, but also something they wished to obtain at all cost.

Other than this, Sun Mo had also devoured a god skeleton in the Dragonspirit Manor. That thing had strengthened and reinforced Sun Mo’s body and constitution, granting him powerful poison immunity.

Anyway, Sun Mo’s body was as strong as an ancient giant’s.

There were several prisoners on this level. When they heard the footsteps of Sun Mo’s groups, they started shouting.

“How’s the situation outside?”

“Bring some women for me, days here are too boring!”

“Hasn’t the Saint Gate disbanded yet?”

The prisoners made a clamor, which caused Ji Han’s countenance to sink. He waved his hands and the prison guards responsible for this level immediately moved out. They took out whips and started lashing the prisoners fiercely.

“You guys have to be careful. The prisoners here are extremely unbridled, arrogant and obstinate. They still have not given up on escaping. So, I suggest you guys not select the prisoners here to be your targets.”

Ji Han reminded them.

The entrance to the fifth level was a stone passageway. In there, there was a battle puppet stationed every five meters apart.

Sun Mo did a count and saw a total of 12 battle puppets.

“They are loyal, fearless, unafraid of poison, gu, or spiritual control techniques, etc. If someone wants to pass here, they can only depend on their combat strength!”

Ji Han introduced.

“They should all be created by an ancestor, right?”

Sun Mo praised.

These battle puppets were five meters tall. They were a masterpiece created from the combination of top-level puppetry and metal-refining techniques.

Their metallic bodies weighed 500 tons. Even if they didn’t know any cultivation arts, they could depend on brute strength to crush their enemies.

The most terrifying thing was that they didn’t know fatigue. Before the energy in their cores ran out, they could continue fighting. Moreover, their structure made it so that even if they lost some of their limbs, they were still capable of fighting.

“The use of these battle puppets is clear without words. They are here to exhaust an enemy’s strength. It’s enough as long as they delay any escaping prisoner until the prison guards arrive.”

Ji Han snapped his fingers and the eyes of these battle puppets immediately brightened. They finished activating in three seconds. After that, one of them stepped forward.

If it wasn’t because this thing was too expensive and extremely difficult to manufacture, Ji Han really wanted to place 100 of such battle puppets on every level.

“Teacher Sun, please!”

Ji Han didn’t plan to make things difficult for Sun Mo. He only wanted to see what cultivation arts he knew and how high his combat strength was.

“There’s no skill needed to clear this level, right? Only brute strength is sufficient.”

It had been a very long time since Sun Mo had last fought.

Ji Han smiled and indicated to Sun Mo that he could begin.

Sun Mo shrugged. He suddenly lunged forward like a hunting leopard.

Swish~

Sun Mo’s speed was so quick that after-images were formed.

BOOM!

The battle puppet’s fist punched over rapidly, but it was still too slow.

“Since its body is so large, it will definitely have flaws when it comes to agility!”

Sun Mo evaluated.

The battle puppet missed. It immediately lifted its hand and aimed at Sun Mo. After that, an explosion rang out as its right arm actually shot forward.

This was simply too quick that it actually tore the air apart.

Sun Mo’s figure was also penetrated.

Rumble~ action

Its iron fist smashed against the wall, causing a loud explosion. At the next second, a thunderous sound echoed out. It was emitted due to the punch breaking through the sound barrier.

“Did Sun Mo die?”

Everyone was nervous.

“It’s an after-image!”

Lu Guodong heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Sun Mo appear at the other end of the passageway.

“I thought it was just a spar? Isn’t it a little too ruthless?”

Sun Mo clicked his tongue. If he was slightly slower, he would have become a meat patty.

“Teacher Sun, I thought you said you want to challenge the battle puppets? What do you mean by passing them all so quickly?”

Ji Han was depressed. “You are pulling a fast one.”

“That’s right, fight again!”

Someone argued in protest.

All of them wanted to observe Sun Mo’s battle and had even prepared image-recording stones.
