Absolute Great Teacher-Novel2

Chapter 1035: We Are All People Who Are Learned, How Can This Action Be Called Stealing?

Why when people look for doctors, they would prefer those older ones with higher ranks, right?

Because this indicated that the doctor had seen many types of illnesses before and had accumulated plenty of experience.

The study of spirit runes was the same as well.

Only when a spirit runist had seen enough spirit runes would they be able to sum up many rules and trigger the ‘quantity change transforms into quality change’. They could then find their own path to advance.

The Dragonspirit Manor had existed for over a thousand years and had tens of deans. Each of them did their utmost to collect spirit runes. Because of that, the ancient spirit rune building contained countless spirit runes.

When Sun Mo and his group entered the building, they were all stunned.

There were numerous bookshelves made of beast bones that were ten meters high. Each rune here was placed in order, and one wouldn’t be able to see the end of it with a single gaze. Also, the bookshelves were filled with books, specimens of spirit runes, and various ancient records Sun Mo had no idea of.

Despite the spacious spirit rune building, there were very few people here. The higher the level, the fewer the number of people. This was because the books in the higher levels were even more difficult to understand.

“Wow, there are so many things here. How good would it be if we could move this back to our school? At that time, our Central Province Academy would surely be the number one in the Nine Provinces when it comes to the study of spirit runes, right?”

Xianyu Wei’s eyes brightened.

Her teacher was the vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy and would marry An Xinhui in the future. In that case, it could be said that half of the school belonged to her teacher.

As Sun Mo’s personal disciple, Xianyu Wei was like a half-daughter to him. She naturally had the obligation to protect the school.

“Definitely!”

Lu Zhiruo nodded. Her father’s library should be the one with the most collection of books. However, if one was to speak about just the study of spirit runes, his library wasn’t comparable to this.

(Wait a minute, when I return home next time, should I borrow a few books from my father to bring them to the Central Province Academy?)

Sun Mo was generous. So, his students were also allowed to enter the private library of the old headmaster during their spare time.

The papaya girl had visited it before, and there weren’t that many books there.

When compared to any of the Nine Greats, it simply couldn’t be compared at all.

“Oi, oi, can we discuss matters like this privately after we return?”

Qin Yaoguang’s voice wasn’t low. She had a look on her face like she was enjoying the chaos. “However, this suggestion isn’t bad. You can take some books that are convenient to carry back and also valuable.”

“Ah? I was just randomly thinking and had no intention of stealing the books of others.”

Xianyu Wei panicked.

She was a kind girl and advocated becoming rich by one’s own efforts.

“We are all learned people, so how can this action be called stealing?”

Qin Yaoguang’s lips twitched. She gazed at the surroundings. “Teacher, this place is so large, I’m going off on my own to tour it, okay?”

“Sure, but don’t act recklessly!” action

Sun Mo warned.

“I was joking when I spoke about the books earlier.” Qin Yaoguang was helpless. “You guys are too boring. In the future, the lover I find will definitely not have the personality of any of you guys.”

“Let me lament for your future husband. He most probably would be made a cuckoo in the future,” Tantai Yutang teased.

Qin Yaoguang flashed a middle finger and stuck out her tongue at Tantai Yutang before turning to leave.

“Tantai, you are still young and don’t understand the hearts of men. Even if they are made a cuckoo, there will still be many simps willing to simp for Yaoguang.”

Sun Mo sighed.

Just based on Qin Yaoguang’s looks, if this was the modern era, she didn’t need any acting skills and would effortlessly be able to hold millions of fans captive. Besides, with her personality that was a little devilish, filled with confidence, and not bothered about the trifles…

She was the type of girl who could giggle with her arms around your shoulders and make jokes about everything while discussing which posture was the best for s*x…

Many men were fond of this type of woman.

“Alright, you guys can walk around, but taking action independently is forbidden.”

Sun Mo warned repeatedly.

He knew that among his disciples, other than Li Ziqi who was interested in all types of knowledge, the others had completely no interest in spirit runes, even Jiang Leng who had lived in the Dragonspirit Manor before.

Hence, there was no need to force them to learn.

Lu Zhiruo was prepared to go for a walk, but after seeing Li Ziqi following Sun Mo, she decided to stick around as well.

Sun Mo’s gaze brushed past the bookshelves. Gradually, his confidence grew.

The contents in these books were things he knew.

When he occasionally saw a book that he hadn’t seen before, he would take it out. But after checking it, he realized that only the name of the book was different. He had already learned the content before.

And just like that, 15 minutes passed. Sun Mo discovered that it was meaningless to remain here. Hence, he decided to head into the ancient spirit rune zone.

This place contained the spirit runes excavated from the ruins of darkness.

The administrator was a slightly balding middle-aged man. He was currently trying to decipher a spirit rune. When he saw Sun Mo and the two girls, he also couldn’t be bothered to speak and directly took out a spirit rune. He placed it on a desk before continuing with his work.

Lu Zhiruo tiptoed to look at it.

(My heavens, what is this? This ancient spirit rune only has six runic lines. It isn’t even a complete diagram!)

“Do we have to add runic lines ourselves?” the papaya girl asked.

“If you can’t decipher this, just leave!” the administrator with the bald spot berated.

“How is it?”

Sun Mo asked with a smile as he looked at the little sunny egg’s expression. She should be able to understand this.

After hearing this, Liu Bantu involuntarily turned his gaze toward Sun Mo.

(Who is this person? Why is he posturing here? Did he drink too much alcohol last night?)

As long as one was a great teacher that researched the study of spirit runes, they would know of the Dragonspirit Manor. Every year, a lot of great teachers would want to come here on account of its reputation, and this place, the ancient spirit rune building, was where everyone definitely wanted to tour.

However, despite how mysterious and tempting the spirit runes here were, one had to solve ten ancient spirit runes first before they could view the three world-class difficulty questions.

This was a rule Dean Bai had set. He wanted to establish a barrier to block those people who overestimated themselves.

(This young man is still so young, right?! From his tone, it felt like he was guiding the girl? What a braggart! Are you not afraid that you cannot solve it? That would be embarrassing then.)

“I can see some clues!”

Li Ziqi furrowed her brows in thoughts.

(Damn! This girl really knows how to brag! She must have drunk a lot last night as well!)

The administrator’s lips twitched. Because of disdain, he couldn’t be bothered to ridicule them. Hence, he lowered his head and continued his attempt at deciphering his spirit rune. But after that, he lifted his head again and looked at Li Ziqi.

Because the little sunny egg had spoken.

“This is a flame-type spirit rune and it’s probably used to start a fire in the wild.”

After Lu Zhiruo heard this, she immediately looked at the bald-spot administrator. “Is she correct?”

The administrator’s surname was Liu. He stared at Li Ziqi in astonishment after hearing her answer.

(She must have guessed it?)

One must know that all spirit runes in the Nine Provinces were the most traditional type, and they would at least have a rule structure within. However, the spirit rune this administrator took out only had a few runic lines.

If one wanted to decipher something like that, they could only depend on their talent and intelligence. The knowledge one learned from books wouldn’t be enough.

“After solving ten ancient spirit runes, we will be able to view the three great puzzles, right?”

Sun Mo’s tone was amicable. “Can this be considered one?”

Liu Bantu stared at Sun Mo again,

Because the underlying meaning of Sun Mo’s words meant that he was sure he got this correct.

Qi!

(You are pretty confident in yourself.)

“It is considered one!”

Liu Bantu spoke and took out another spirit rune to place it on the desk.

“Eldest martial sister, why is it a flame-type spirit rune? When I looked at the picture, I only saw a few lines?”

The papaya girl didn’t like the study of spirit runes. However, her teacher was a near-ancestor spirit runist, and she was naturally influenced and knew some things about it. However, this spirit rune before her eyes had completely toppled her general knowledge.

“Spirit runes are simply various types of pictures!”

The little sunny egg explained, “You feel that it is not a complete picture because your knowledge is too deficient. It’s like the lotus growing on a pond will be the only flower the small fish living there will see in their lives. Yet, there are so many different varieties of flowers on land.”

“I understand now.”

Lu Zhiruo felt enlightened and then felt worship for Li Ziqi. “Eldest martial sister, you are so awesome!”

“It’s Teacher who has taught me well!”

Li Ziqi smiled sweetly.

Sun Mo had passed down all his knowledge and experience about spirit runes to the little sunny egg using Soul Imprint.

The little sunny egg depended on her learning talent and had grasped about 70% to 80% of it.

If it was based on the system’s standard, Li Ziqi’s current expertise level was above the expert level but still below the grandmaster level.

As a kind royal princess, Li Ziqi was concerned about the commoners. Hence, the spirit runes she learned first were those who could assist the general populace.

“What is this then?”

Lu Zhiruo asked.

“It seems to be a spirit rune that has a connection with blood.”

Li Ziqi analyzed. After pondering for a few minutes, she asked Sun Mo, “Is it the type of effect where it can draw one’s blood out?”

“Mn!”

Sun Mo nodded.

Sun Mo nodded. “Could I trouble you to take out the next one?”

Liu Bantu was now a little shocked.

(Aren’t the deciphering speed of you guys a little too quick?)

Naturally, there had been guests whose deciphering speed was so quick too. However, they were all high star-ranking great teachers or grandmasters.

(As for this girl before me? She is still a youth!)

Liu Bantu’s attitude subconsciously became better.

There was no solution to it, capable people would naturally cause others to feel respect.

“There!”

Liu Bantu passed the third spirit rune over.

“Hehe, a cleaning-type spirit rune!”

Li Ziqi was happy now because there was basically no need for her to decipher this rune. Among the many spirit runes her teacher had taught her, there was one that was exactly the same as this.

“Have you seen this spirit rune before?”

Liu Bantu frowned. “If you guys have spirit runes that were excavated together in the same batch as this one, we will collect them. Don’t worry, the price will surely be an extremely high one where you have no way to reject.”

The spirit runes of each generation were different.

For example, a cleaning-type spirit rune like this belonged to the ‘dried-up’ period in the study of spirit runes. Hence, spirit runes from the same generation as that would be rare.

“Nope!”

The little sunny egg lied. She didn’t want her group to be watched attentively by such a major power. At the same time, she silently warned herself that she had to learn how to remain low-profile.

“Hehe!”

Liu Bantu didn’t believe it. But since the other party was unwilling to say, it was impossible for him to insist either. However, he could very well impose a small punishment.

Hence, the fourth spirit rune he handed over was more difficult in comparison.

Li Ziqi’s brows started to furrow as she sank into contemplation. In fact, she even took out the quill pen she always brought with her and started to draw in her little notebook.

Liu Bantu was happy now.

(This is then correct! This should be the look you have when you run into a difficult problem. I’m hereby hoping you will have a hundred strands of white hair.)

“The two of you can decipher the rune in the reading zone over there. Please don’t block the path for others.”

Liu Bantu pointed to a desk not far away.

“This is a spirit rune that can cause one’s body to rapidly rot.”

Sun Mo didn’t have time to waste on these things.

“Huh?”

Liu Bantu blinked. (I feel that I just heard something incredible.)

Lu Zhiruo hurriedly repeated what Sun Mo said. She also asked, “It should be correct, right? My teacher has never been wrong before!”

“…”

Liu Bantu wanted to curse!

At the same time, Liu Bantu also felt puzzled. (Who is this man? He seemed to be pretty capable?)
