Absolute Great Teacher-Novel2

Chapter 956: The Profession of a Grandmaster-Level Botanist Is Simply So Stable!

Sun Mo’s reaction was extremely fast. When he saw Yang Xuecai attacking, he immediately charged over.

Dragon Capturing Hands!

Sun Mo wanted to seize Xianyu Wei back.

“It’s good that you came!”

Yang Xuecai had a joyful expression on his face. He had been worried that Sun Mo wouldn’t care about his personal student and wouldn’t give him the chance to take the Homeward-Bound Ginseng.

Hence, when he saw Sun Mo attacking him, he relaxed.

(I will directly finish you off.)

Hence, Yang Xuecai brandished his sword.

Swish~

Sword qi gushed forth rampantly and tore the dragon talons apart. After that, when Yang Xuecai was prepared to kill Sun Mo, he noticed that a wooden blade had already closed in to him and was stabbing at him ferociously.

“What? So quick?”

Yang Xuecai hurriedly blocked the attacks, but he still suffered two strikes. Luckily, he had a hostage in his hands. As long as he positioned Xianyu Wei before him, Sun Mo wouldn’t dare to attack recklessly.

“Step back now!”

Yang Xuecai stared at Sun Mo and roared.

(Damn, as expected of the genius rising star this year. He is truly powerful!)

Yang Xuecai knew that he wasn’t in his peak condition. After all, he had persisted too long in the dreamscape, and too much of his blood had been absorbed by the ginseng. His strength had declined sharply.

However, he had felt that there shouldn’t be a problem for him to deal with Sun Mo. But when they actually exchanged blows, he realized that he had underestimated Sun Mo.

(I hate geniuses like you guys the most!)

The gaze that Yang Xuecai shot at Sun Mo contained hints of envy that eventually transformed into enmity. After that, he grew even more certain of his decision.

(Killing someone to steal the ginseng. As expected, my actions aren’t a mistake.)

He might be a 6-star great teacher, but he was already over 290 years old. He no longer had much potential to continue climbing.

Yang Xuecai had enjoyed life, beauties, status, and wealth before. However, he was not satisfied. This was because the greatest wish of his lifetime was to work at any of the Nine Greats safe for the Dragon Subduing Academy.

But he had no chance. In fact, he couldn’t even go to ‘A’ grade schools.

Although Yang Xuecai had a supreme status in ‘C’ grade academies and was looked upon highly by the headmaster, what use was there?

Even if he became the king of a small pond, he wouldn’t be qualified to look down on the world with arrogance.

Since his righteous path had reached the end, he might as well take the evil path.

Becoming a dark great teacher!

Yang Xuecai had such thoughts long ago but didn’t act on them. Once he did so, the things he had to sacrifice would be too many.

However, at the instant he saw the Homeward-Bound Ginseng, Yang Xuecai understood that his chance had come.

This was an additional life!

With an additional life, he could go on an adventure in those dangerous locations on the Darkness Continent. If his luck was good and he managed to discover some heavenly ingredients or earthly treasures, his life would have a second spring.

Men had to be capable of being ruthless enough to themselves!

“Sun Mo, hand the ginseng over or I’ll kill her!”

Yang Xuecai threatened.

Everyone had been anxiously trying to dig the ginseng whiskers. Hence, only after Sun Mo and Yang Xuecai exchanged the first move did they realize what happened. When they wanted to ask why he was doing this, they heard what he said, and they were all stunned.

“Teacher Yang, what are you doing?”

Zhang Shihua was dumbstruck.

“Teacher Yang, don’t destroy your future just because of a moment of greed. It wasn’t easy for you to become a 6-star great teacher.”

Huang Chao persuaded.

“I’m doing this precisely because I know it was not easy.”

Yang Xuecai looked at Sun Mo with a calm expression. “Teacher Sun, don’t force me to kill. I just want the ginseng and you guys can walk free. This is my last expression of good will.”

“E…even 6-star great teachers would commit betrayal?”

Some students were frightened, feeling as though their ideals were destroyed.

Shouldn’t great teachers of this level be perfect and flawless in their characters and learning?

“All humans have desires.”

Zhang Shihua sighed ruefully.

Everyone wanted the ginseng, but they could suppress their urges because of the shackles of reality. After all, their losses would be too great after they committed such a crime.

As for Yang Caixue, he evidently no longer cared.

Sun Mo looked at Zhang Shihua.

Although Huang Chao was a 4-star great teacher, his cultivation realm was roughly equal to him. Hence, the people with the greatest threat here were Yang Xuecai and Zhang Shihua.

“Teacher Sun, just state whatever instructions you have directly!”

Zhang Shihua clasped his fists and expressed his good will.

From his point of view, as long as he cooperated with Sun Mo and Huang Chao, they should be able to defeat Yang Xuecai and help Sun Mo retain the ginseng. This would be a huge favor that Sun Mo owed them.

“Zhang Shihua, you underestimate Teacher Sun’s character too much. If he doesn’t save this female student today, his reputation would be tarnished.”

Yang Xuecai was also afraid that Sun Mo would be driven to desperate action. Hence, this sentence sounded like a praise but was actually a threat.

“I believe that no matter what choice Teacher Sun makes, this female student won’t blame him.”

Zhang Shihua mentally mused that in this situation, no matter who it was in Sun Mo’s position, they definitely wouldn’t give up on the ginseng.

The best solution was to make this girl named Xianyu Wei commit suicide.

In any case, to be honest, Zhang Shihua wouldn’t be willing to use an additional life to exchange for any student.

“Teacher, it is all my fault!”

Xianyu Wei also knew that her value wasn’t as high as this ginseng. Hence, she might as well make her decision. “In this lifetime, I have no more chances to listen to Teacher’s teachings. In my next life, I’m willing to be a horse or ox to serve you.”

After speaking, Xianyu Wei wanted to bit her tongue off to commit suicide. However, Yang Xuecai’s response came even quicker as he dislodged her chin and grabbed hold of it tightly.

“Teacher Sun, my patience has a limit. If you still don’t pass the ginseng over, don’t blame me for starting a killing spree.”

Yang Xuecai threatened.

“Xianyu, don’t be silly. That is just a broken ginseng. How can it be more important than your life?”

Sun Mo hurriedly persuaded. After that, he looked at Yang Xuecai. “Release her first, I will give you the ginseng then.”

“Pass me the ginseng first!”

Yang Xuecai persisted.

“You are a 6-star great teacher. Even with no hostage, you can still suppress us. What are you so nervous about?”

Sun Mo mocked.

“Hehe!”

Yang Xuecai naturally wouldn’t be fooled. If it wasn’t for him having exchanged a few moves with Sun Mo earlier and discovering Sun Mo’s strength, he might have agreed to this.

“Quickly!”

Yang Xuecai urged.

Sun Mo was helpless. He squatted down and put down his bag. After that, he opened it and stretched his hands in, but then he halted.

“What are you in a daze for? Faster!”

Yang Caixue roared. He thought that Sun Mo wanted to renege on his words.

The teachers and students of the other schools were silently watching.

Sun Mo carried his bag and walked to an area two meters from Yang Xuecai before he took the ginseng out. “Can you release her now?”

Swish~

The eyes of everyone stared over.

Ji! Ji!

The ginseng squirmed and emitted baby-like cries.

“Hand it over!”

Yang Xuecai roared.

Pak!

Sun Mo tossed the ginseng away and stretched out his hands immediately to catch Xianyu Wei.

“Damn!”

Yang Xuecai didn’t hesitate and directly sped toward the direction of the ginseng, wanting to grab it.

After confirming that it was genuine, he would flee right away.

As for killing everyone here?

If Zhang Shihua wasn’t present, he would really have done so.

Zhang Shihua and Huang Chao both rushed out the moment Sun Mo tossed the ginseng out. They had to try and see if they could grab it.

“B*stards!”

Yang Xuecai cursed. Because Sun Mo didn’t toss it too far, he didn’t hesitate to rush over. He immediately turned and charged into the cave, in the direction where Sun Mo had tossed it.

After that, the sounds of complacent laughter rang out.

Haha! Haha!

(From today onward, I, Yang Xuecai, will transform completely and start my new life.)

Woosh~ Woosh~

Xuanyuan Po, Jiang Leng, and Helian Beifang rushed forward, wanting to chase after Yang Xuecai.

“Return!”

Sun Mo roared.

Zhang Shihua and Huang Chao exchanged glances. They hesitated for a while but eventually chose to give up on the pursuit.

They weren’t able to win against Yang Xuecai.

“Teacher Sun, I admire your character.”

Zhang Shihua clasped his fists.

Kaba!

Sun Mo fixed Xianyu Wei’s dislodged chin for her.

“Boohoohoo, teacher!”

Xianyu Wei knelt and blamed herself so much that she wanted to die.

(I caused Teacher to lose a top-level darkness secret treasure for my sake.)

“Silly child. In my heart, you are the most valuable treasure there is.”

Sun Mo patted Xianyu Wei’s back.

Bzz!

Priceless Advice activated!

A golden glow illuminated the cave.

Actually, Zhang Shihua and the other great teachers had been doubting whether Sun Mo was putting on a show or not. But when Priceless Advice activated, they knew that they had wronged Sun Mo.

In this world, there were really teachers like Sun Mo who cared so much about their students.

“Teacher…”

Xianyu Wei felt even more guilty.

“Don’t cry anymore. You are someone who will become a battle god. Be tougher!”

Sun Mo smiled. “I would truly be foolish if I lost a future battle god for the sake of a stupid ginseng.”

“Teacher, there’s no need for you to console me.”

Xianyu Wei mused silently. (How is it possible for me to become a battle god? Firstly, my gender is the problem. In the Nine Provinces, there has never been a female battle god. But I will work hard. My life is already something that belongs to Teacher.)

Ding!

Favorable impression points +10,000. Reverence (42,000/100,000).

Li Ruolan recorded all of this.

Bai Xiqing clapped lightly. (As expected, the man I idolized wouldn’t disappoint me.)

The green-skinned female stared at everything dumbfoundedly, feeling admiration from her heart with regard to Sun Mo’s magnanimity and bearing.

Were these the great teachers of humanity? How selfless!

“Alright, let’s set off and clear up the mess. Right now, Yang Xuecai should have died.”

Sun Mo helped Xianyu Wei up.

“Ah?”

After hearing this, everyone was stunned.

“Teacher Sun, what’s going on?”

Huang Chao was curious.

“Poison?”

Zhang Shihua suddenly understood in hindsight. “Teacher Sun, did you rub poison all over the ginseng?”

“Teacher Zhang, please don’t speak recklessly!” Li Ruolan reproached.

“Sorry, I’ve misspoken.” Zhang Shihua scolded himself for being foolish.

Using poison was not something glorious.

Bluntly speaking, poison masters wouldn’t appear in public. Others would only fear them and not respect them.

“Nope!”

Sun Mo shook his head. However, in his heart, he had decided to learn the poison classic.

This was because using poison was one of the rare ways for the weaker individuals to triumph over stronger enemies.

He no longer wished to experience the miserable scene where they were hunted like dogs by the enemies.

Zhang Shihua’s group also wanted to leave as soon as possible and see what was happening up ahead. However, seeing Sun Mo being so calm, they felt embarrassed to leave.

They could only endure it.

Roughly 15 minutes later, everyone saw a layer of green light covering the cave ahead. There were even some plant-like tubes extending outward.

“Be more cautious. These tubes are signs that the ginseng is trying to take root again.”

Sun Mo reminded them.

They continued ahead. Although they didn’t see anyone, they already heard the sound of a fearful cry.

…

“Haha, after giving up everything I possess, I suddenly feel so relaxed!”

Yang Caixue greedily sniffed the fragrance emitted by the ginseng and was thinking of his future.

(What is righteousness? What are laws? Just scram to the side. From now on, this daddy can do whatever I want, according to my will. Who makes me uncomfortable will be repaid by me making their ancestors of eighteen generations uncomfortable.)

(In any case, this daddy has one additional life!)

(Eh… But why do I feel more and more tired? I suddenly feel so sleepy.)

Very soon, Yang Xuecai no longer moved forward. He subconsciously lowered his head to look and was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body.

(What the hell?)

(Am I going to die?)
