Chapter 1049: My Eldest Disciple Is ‘Evolving’!
The destructive might of the new spirit rune invented by Bai Wenzhang was extremely powerful!
Everyone was in shock and was discussing among themselves, but after they saw Bai Wenzhang bowing to Sun Mo with a very respectful attitude, they were all stunned.
W…what glory was this!
Who was Bai Wenzhang?
In this holy ground of spirit runes, he was the dean of the Dragonspirit Manor, who was also one of the three great ancestors standing at the pinnacle of the spirit rune world in the entire Nine Provinces…
He was somebody whose inventions could change the direction of the world.
Yet, such a major character actually lowered his valuable head toward Sun Mo.
Xiao Feng started. After that, his face flushed red. If it wasn’t for him forcefully biting his lips, he was deeply afraid that he might start howling.
(Why do you have to bow to Sun Mo? What capabilities does he have? I originally was thinking of competing with him. I was afraid that Teacher might regard him highly and want to accept him as a personal student. In the end, I was worried for nothing… Given Sun Mo’s strength, he could sit equally with Teacher. As for me? I don’t even have the qualifications to get Teacher to look straight at me!)
This scene directly crushed all of Xiao Feng’s mental strength.
“Dean Bai is praising me too much.”
Sun Mo hurriedly dodged to the side.
Given Bai Wenzhang’s state of heart, he naturally wouldn’t bother wasting time on such trivialities. He then stood up straight and urged Sun Mo, “Let’s go, tell me about your concept!”
Bai Wenzhang could tell that although Sun Mo was shocked by the destructive might of this new spirit rune, Sun Mo didn’t reveal any expression of admiration.
This meant that Bai Wenzhang had not convinced him.
“My disciple has been researching this topic recently as well. Why don’t you guys discuss it together?”
Sun Mo got Li Ziqi to come out.
Conversing and interacting more with this type of major character would surely be very beneficial to one’s growth.
The three of them entered the dean office together.
“I really wish to listen at the side!”
Cui Shun’en felt like there was a wild cat scratching his heart—one saw a delicious cake but couldn’t eat it.
(So angry!)
“I’m too untalented and my movements are slower than others as well. Hence, I thought of converting the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art into a spirit rune. I want to activate it and unleash light beams to deal with my enemy.”
As Li Ziqi explained her idea, she tried converting the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art by drawing it out as a spirit rune simultaneously.
“Beautiful!”
Seeing the neat and tidy runic lines that were filled with a sense of industrial beauty, Bai Wenzhang involuntarily applauded and praised. “Teacher Sun has created a new style!”
“I don’t deserve your praise!”
Sun Mo was modest.
Li Ziqi’s teacher was Sun Mo. So when she invented the spirit rune, the core structure of the rune would surely be that of the circuit board-style.
“Continue!”
Bai Wenzhang indicated for Li Ziqi to continue with her explanation.
After that, the more he heard, the more shocked he felt.
If it wasn’t for Li Ziqi being too young, her wide vision, her unfettered imagination, and her logical analyzing abilities… almost made Bai Wenzhang feel that he was conversing with a grandmaster spirit runist.
“Teacher Sun, could you give her up to me?”
Bai Wenzhang teased.
In his heart, he was growing increasingly fond of this thought.
“Dean must be joking!”
Sun Mo chortled.
“Ai, I really envy you. If I have such a disciple, I won’t have to worry that the Dragonspirit Manor would decline after I die.”
Bai Wenzhang felt very disappointed.
His disciples weren’t bad and could definitely step into the grandmaster level. If they worked hard, they might even be able to step into the ancestor level. However, that would be their peak.
Because their thinking was too rigid.
Simply speaking, they had no creativity.
It was like the physics theories came up by Einstein. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to understand them, but physicists would be able to learn them easily. However, if they wanted to improve on it and ‘rise’ higher, they would have no way to take such a step.
Li Ziqi’s knowledge reserve definitely was inferior to his own personal students. But something like this could be mitigated by time. However, creativity was something innate.
“Dean is overpraising me.”
Li Ziqi hurriedly stood up.
“Come, there’s no need to feel restrained. Sit down and continue speaking. If you have anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask.”
Bai Wenzhang activated his ‘teaching mode’. He wanted to use the last bit of time he had to help Li Ziqi on her learning journey.
As for Sun Mo?
He was too much of a genius and didn’t need his help.
“The current bottleneck I encounter now is that after activating the spirit rune, the might of the spiritwave light beams would depend on the amount of spirit qi I infused.”
Li Ziqi was depressed. “It’s impossible for my enemies to give me too much time to ‘charge’ the spirit rune. If I want to compress the charging time, my body wouldn’t be able to endure it and I would be injured.”
“Strengthen your body then!”
Bai Wenzhang was surprised. (Does this question still need to be asked?)
“Her aptitude is not that good and she is very unsuited for cultivation.”
Sun Mo sighed with regret.
“Ah?”
Bai Wenzhang suddenly blurted out. (You even accepted such a disciple?)
Honestly speaking, in the Nine Provinces, one’s aptitude in cultivation was everything. Because if one’s cultivation talent was too weak, it would be impossible for them to break through to the Longevity Realm. This naturally meant that their lifespans would only be measured in decades.
For people with poor aptitudes, just cultivating alone would take up a lot of their time and energy. How would they have time to study and learn other things?
“I have a Spirit Permanence Rune here. Its effect is that after tattooing it on the body, it would automatically absorb spirit qi for the user to strengthen their physique. Do you want to tattoo one on your body?”
Bai Wenzhang suggested.
Li Ziqi stared at Sun Mo.
“It’s your life, you should make your own decision.”
Sun Mo wouldn’t interfere.
“I want it!”
Li Ziqi’s answer was so resolute that it could sever iron. Every cultivator would need this type of spirit rune. Moreover, the person doing the operation for her would evidently be Bai Wenzhang.
For such an opportunity, if it wasn’t for her connection with her teacher, she basically wouldn’t be able to get it.
“Mn, I will draw it for you the day after tomorrow.”
Bai Wenzhang smiled.
“Many thanks, Dean. However, I also wish to design a spirit rune that makes it possible for people of ordinary aptitudes to use.”
Li Ziqi persisted.
Bai Wenzhang looked at the little sunny egg as his expression gradually grew heavy. “Do you know what influence there would be on the world if you really managed to design such a spirit rune?”
“I know.”
Li Ziqi nodded.
In the cultivation world, jumping levels to kill an enemy was something that could only be done by geniuses.
Moreover, the greater the disparity in terms of cultivation levels, the greater the degree of suppression.
If one wanted to close the distance, the only method they could rely on was to train in a top-quality cultivation art.
Hence, if an ordinary cultivator could also unleash something that had the destructive might of a peerless saint-tier cultivation art, even if their opponents were a few levels higher than them, their opponents would have to kneel to them.
“This world belongs to the strong and your invention would weaken the ‘ruling’ people!”
Bai Wenzhang reminded her. “You would become their public enemy.”
Such actions would surely cause her to be assassinated.
“I only wish to give the ordinary people a chance!”
Li Ziqi was very determined. “Could it be that if one doesn’t have the talent, they won’t be able to control their fates?”
Bzz!
A golden halo erupted forth.
Li Ziqi’s body was clad in a layer of golden light.
“Priceless Advice?”
Sun Mo was shocked.
(Isn’t your speed of comprehension a little too fast)
If she was someone else’s disciple and was so outstanding, he would definitely be jealous to death.
Luckily, this was his disciple.
How fortunate!
Bai Wenzhang was also stunned. It wasn’t because of Priceless Advice but rather of Li Ziqi’s mentality.
Honestly speaking, this was the heart state of a great teacher.
Great selflessness, great fearlessness! Thinking about the future of every child, hoping that all of them could have bright prospects.
Usually speaking, even if a grassroot organization succeeded and became the government, they would also think of all sorts of solutions to stop the people below from becoming smarter and gaining more power.
Why?
Because the more powerful the people below them were, the higher the possibility that the people would topple their rule.
“Teacher Li, I’ve benefited from your words!”
Bai Wenzhang clasped his hands. Just based on her words, he was indeed inferior in this aspect.
“Ah!”
Li Ziqi was badly shocked. (Can you not act so respectfully toward me? I will panic!)
Yet, Sun Mo was very gratified as he watched this scene.
The little sunny egg’s dream was to build the largest library in the Nine Provinces. Regardless of identity or race, anyone could enter to read freely.
Even beggars wouldn’t be blocked and could enter as they wished.
Such a heart state would be greatly beneficial to her growth.
“T…teacher, why did I comprehend a great teacher halo again?”
Li Ziqi wasn’t joyful. Rather, she felt a lingering fear. “I don’t usually speak a lot of impressive sentences, right?”
“I can only say that Secondary Saint Zhou would probably be angered to death.”
Sun Mo couldn’t really explain the reason why.
Truthfully speaking, Li Ziqi could comprehend Priceless Advice not only because of her heart state. A very large reason had got to do with Sun Mo.
Sun Mo was from the modern era and knew many ‘chicken soup sentences’. He would frequently sprout a few from time to time to the point where Gu Xiuxun wanted to puke, calling him ‘Golden Sentences Sun’.
Li Ziqi was subtly influenced by the words she heard every day and naturally had memorized this ‘great logic’ in her heart.
The so-called ‘Priceless Advice’ wasn’t something you could comprehend just because you spoke a lot. You had to experience them personally. And as for the little sunny egg, she treated Sun Mo’s words as doctrines.
If he said to head east, the little sunny egg wouldn’t head west.
At the same time, Priceless Advice was also separated into levels. For that sentence of Li Ziqi, it absolutely belonged to the supreme golden sentence level. Even if saints were present, they would exclaim in admiration and say to Li Ziqi that they had benefited from her teaching.
“This was something you just comprehended?”
Bai Wenzhang was curious.
“Mn!”
Li Ziqi experienced the effect of Priceless Advice and found it very fresh.
“How many great teacher halos do you know?” Bai Wenzhang asked.
“Six!”
“So many?”
Bai Wenzhang was shocked. After that, he turned his head and looked at Sun Mo. “This time, I’m not joking. Can you let her become my student? I’m willing to pay any price.”
“This is my ‘billboard girl’!”
Sun Mo was very complacent.
“What are they?”
Bai Wenzhang personally poured a cup of tea for Li Ziqi as he asked about her halos.
The little sunny egg felt overwhelmed by favor and hurriedly reported her halos.
Composed Calm and Gushing Thoughts were considered commonly seen halos.
But after hearing Retentive Memory, Bai Wenzhang’s brows were pricked and he gained a new understanding of this little girl’s intelligence.
After that, it was Unrealized Dream.
This was impressive.
Bai Wenzhang almost couldn’t bear it and wanted Li Ziqi to cast it on him.
But the most shocking halo was Distinctionless Education.
“Can you repeat it? What did you just say?”
Bai Wenzhang thought he had heard wrongly.
(Isn’t that a halo only saints could comprehend?)
Honestly speaking, even Bai Wenzhang, who had a generous mentality that didn’t care for people’s status, allowing everyone to come to the Dragonspirit Manor to learn, would find it impossible to comprehend Distinctionless Education.
This was because he had no regard for people with no aptitudes.
It wasn’t discrimination and he wasn’t looking down on them either. He simply felt it was a waste of time, and these people might as well go and learn something else.
“Do you have any other students who have comprehended the self-taught halo?”
Bai Wenzhang’s gossip-mode was activated.
“There are three more!”
Sun Mo boasted.
Bai Wenzhang suddenly didn’t feel like talking with Sun Mo anymore. He wanted to throw two shoes at him.
