Chapter 1296: The Dark Dawn Comes, Super Formation!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Sun Mo understood Fang Duanwu’s feelings. His mother was going to die so he wanted to get the 1-star great teacher title to tell her that her son had achieved something and didn’t lose her face. Moreover, her son’s future would be stable, so there was no need for her to worry.
Fang Duanwu felt that by doing so, his mother would be able to die with a smile, but he had forgotten that this occupation was one that educated others, and integrity and reputation were the most important aspects.
This also meant that great teachers could even forsake their lives to safeguard their reputations.
Why would the Daynight Starlord find it so difficult to recruit students despite being a secondary saint?
It was because of his reputation. Young people with lofty ambitions wouldn’t lack teachers. Why would they choose to follow him and become targets that everyone wanted to hunt?
A person who depended on cheating to become a teacher… what could he rely on when it came to teaching students?
In this case, any man with pride would surely feel very embarrassed every time they faced their student.
“Tknow!”
Uncle Soul bowed to Sun Mo before drifting back to the classroom.
He suddenly understood why Sun Mo could become the number one great teacher in the Nine Provinces despite his young age. Leaving aside his strength and talent, just his heart state was already so high that many high star-ranking great teachers would find it hard to reach that level.
“Uncle Soul, you finally returned!”
Fang Duanwu was very nervous. “Did something happen?”
Uncle Soul glanced at the nervous appearance of Fang Duanwu and shook his head. (Indeed, look at his unconfident appearance. Even if you tell everyone this guy is a 1-star great teacher, who would believe it?)
“Let’s go!”
Uncle Soul spoke.
“Ah
Fang Duanwu started. “To where?”
“Home!”
Uncle Soul sighed. “You got discovered!”
Boom!
Fang Duanwu was so scared that his legs directly grew soft as he slid from his chair and fell onto the ground. His body started trembling as he subconsciously glanced outside the window. “Is that Ancestor Sun? I’ve said that he is extremely impressive, how could I remain undiscovered if I cheat? It’s over,
it’s over. My life is over.”
“What are you doing?”
Three examiners immediately walked over with severe expressions on their faces.
Uncle Soul didn’t want to waste words and took the initiative to drift out.
“L…I don’t want to take the exam anymore!”
Fang Duanwu climbed to his feet. After saying that, he lowered his head and ran out of the exam venue.
“What’s going on?”
A1-star assistant examiner didn’t understand.
“He must have discovered that the questions are too difficult and he can’t answer them, hence he chose to give up directly!”
A 2-stars assistant examiner lifted the paper and took a few glances at the answers. After that, he frowned.
“How can that be?”
The 2-stars assistant examiner stretched his head out and looked.
“The questions he answered are all correct. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have given up!”
The 2-stars assistant examiner had a heavy expression on his face. He recalled Sun Mo was standing outside this window for quite some time looking at this student. “Could he be cheating?”
The 5-stars examiner went out of the door and peered at the corridor. He then saw the examinee who had run out earlier was currently kowtowing to Sun Mo.
(There’s no need to guess anymore. Teacher Sun must have discovered that he was cheating but didn’t expose him due to various reasons.)
“It’s over, I initially planned to perform well to get into Ancestor Sun’s good books so I can request for a Skyward Spirit Rune.”
The 5-star assistant examiner had a look of depression on his face. After that, it was filled with puzzlement. How did this examinee cheat?
(If he depended on spiritual controlling techniques, I’m a goddamn spiritual controller, a half-step grandmaster! But why didn’t I discover anything?)
The written exam on the first day concluded. Other than Fang Duanwu, whom Sun Mo personally caught, over twenty other cheaters were also caught.
These people believed that their cheating methods were very brilliant so they had hope in their hearts. If it was in the previous years, they might have succeeded. But as for this year, the examiners’ star-rank was simply too high.
In the office, Sun Mo looked at the files of these examinees and shook his head as he wrote an evaluation.
“Yaoguang, deliver these files over to the Saint Gate after the exam ends.”
Sun Mo instructed.
“Teacher, that guy is a student from the Heavenly Mystery Academy of Cloud Province!”
Qin Yaoguang retrieved an information report and reminded Sun Mo.
Once these files were handed to the Saint Gate, the career of that student would end. One could say that Sun Mo’s action would decide their future.
“So what?”
Sun Mo counter-asked.
“He is a 5th-year student, and he came here to take the test purely for the sake of a bet with his friends. His fame is actually very great.”
Qin Yaoguang felt that since this was a genius, they ought to give him a chance.
“Record it and send out the files!”
Sun Mo sighed. “Everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions. Since they are discovered to have cheated, they will be banned from taking future examinations and the right to become great teachers. This is a rule that the Saint Gate has upheld for the past thousands of years. Even if he’s an
absolute genius, he wouldn’t be worthy enough to get the Saint Gate to change its rule for him.”
“on!”
Sun Mo prepared to continue working, but his office door was suddenly pushed open by Lu Zhiruo.
“Teacher, the Hanyan Pleasure Boat has sunk. I heard over ten examinees died!”
Lu Zhiruo had a look of anxiousness on her face. The moment she heard this, she immediately felt that things were bad.
Such casualties appearing during the exam period would surely cause the evaluation of the Central Province Academy to dwindle.
Ceng!
Sun Mo stood out. As he walked outside, he asked, “They actually were not using their spare time to revise and were in the mood to seek pleasure?”
‘When Sun Mo arrived at the lakeside, the pleasure boat had completely sunken. Ying Baiwu was currently directing people on the shore, getting a few good swimmers to haul the corpses out.
Things were chaotic here because plenty of people had gathered around to watch the drama.
“Baiwa, Teacher is here!”
Lu Zhiruo called out.
“Teacher!”
Ying Baiwu hurriedly ran over.
“What’s the matter?”
Sun Mo cast a glance. The authorities had yet to arrive.
“Trushed here immediately once I received the news, but I was still too late.”
Ying Baiwu was responsible for the public order and safety of the Central Province Academy during the exam period. In order to prepare for any sudden moves by the Dark Dawn, she had gone out and taught all the rats and moles of Jinling a lesson and used them to gather information. This was why she
could rush over immediately when the pleasure boat sank.
“According to the testimony provided by two lucky survivors, they were students who scored quite well in the written exam. They heard that the famed courtesan Su Xiaoxiao was going to perform for free tonight to spur the examinees to do better. In fact, the examinees with the highest rank could even
enjoy a kiss with Su Xiaoxiao after the exam. Hence, they went up the boat.”
Ying Baiwu lowered her voice.
Sun Mo was speechless. Were these examinees crazy? Naturally, they might have been controlled by the lower half of their bodies. After all, Su Xiaoxiao could be considered very famous in the Qinhuai River region.
In any case, if you wanted to sleep with her for a night, it wouldn’t be enough even if you had thousands of taels of silver.
After Lu Zhiruo finished speaking, she heaved a sigh. “It would be good if this wasn’t done by the Dark Dawn!”
“It shouldn’t be done by them!”
For the sake of the school’s security, Ying Baiwu hadn’t slept for a few days, but in the end, something like this still happened. She felt so angry that she wanted to die.
“You guys can leave. Let me handle this!”
Sun Mo felt a headache. Over ten examinees had died. This was a major incident that would surely be investigated fully, and someone must be held accountable. At the very least, the boss of the pleasure boat wouldn’t be able to escape being jailed.
It wasn’t that they wanted his life. Instead, they were worried that no one could pay the compensation if he ran.
Sun Mo was kept busy all the way until dawn before he returned to school. As the main examiner, he had to be around to deal with sudden incidents that might happen. But just when he arrived, before he could warm his buttocks, Lu Zhiruo rushed in anxiously again.
“Teacher, something bad has happened. The welfare agency in Gulou Street caught fire!”
“What?”
Sun Mo was shocked. He directly activated the Skyward Spirit Rune and rushed toward Gulou Street.
After the financial situation of the Central Province Academy turned better, Sun Mo started to donate and build a children welfare agency to raise homeless children.
Now, Jinling already had over twenty welfare agencies. The one situated in Gulou Street was one of the largest ones, and the children there were all kids with no illnesses and had pretty good talent. Sun Mo had planned for them to go to school after they reached the appropriate age. In the end, something
like this actually happened!
Sun Mo had a heavy expression.
Two fires in a single night? Wasn’t this a little too unlucky?
He started to suspect whether this was done by the Dark Dawn, maybe they were trying to lure him away. But if he didn’t go, many children would surely die. He had no choice but to head over.
Ten minutes later, Sun Mo arrived at Gulou Street.
The fire fighting team of Jinling was already there to put out the fire, but they could do nothing much. Because the intensity of the flames was too great, they would have to dismantle the constructions near the welfare agency to prevent the fire from spreading, After that, they would simply wait for the
fire to finish burning.
Sun Mo found the leader of the fire fighting team and grabbed hold of his collar. “Where are the children? How many did you guys save?”
“I don’t know.”
The middle-aged man had a head filled with sweat. He was so frightened that he turned pale. “G…great Teacher Sun, the f…fire is too big. If our men entered, they would merely be courting death.”
Pak!
Sun Mo pushed the middle-aged man aside and activated the Invulnerable Golden Body and Battlegod Protection before directly rushing into the agency. Actually, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to do anything because given how intense the fire was, everyone inside would have long since been burned
to death.
“You mustn’t!”
The middle-aged man jumped in fright and knelt with a thud. If something happened to Sun Mo, the emperor might execute his entire family.
“Great Teacher Sun, please hurry and return safely!”
At the western direction of the Central Province Academy, there was a store for miscellaneous goods on the street.
“Sun Mo and An Xinhui have left!”
The Daynight Starlord stared puzzledly at the Daybreak Starlord beside him. “We have such strong combat strength, why must we lure them away?”
The Daynight Starlord actually wanted to exchange blows with Sun Mo.
“This is called being cautious!”
The Daybreak Starlord held a bamboo cup with iced soy milk in it. “Don’t look down on this school. They have a saint, two secondary saints, and an old headmaster that no one knows has awakened or not!”
“salted fish!”
The Daynight Starlord twitched his lips before pushing the door and stepping out. A few moments later, he entered the campus.
The Daybreak Starlord glanced at the school that was covered in a faint mist and kept feeling a sense of unease. (Why do I keep feeling that we might screw things up this time?)
(Forget it, let’s not think about it. We will leave as soon as we get the Great Dream Heart Sutra!)
The Corona Starlord didn’t like acting sneakily when doing stuff. Hence, he entered from the front gate.
“Oi, what are you doing?”
Mister Qin who was in the room immediately ran out when he saw this uninvited guest. “This place is the Central Province Academy, outsiders are not permitted entry…”
Bang!
Before Mister Qin could finish speaking, his entire body was flung back by an invisible force. He landed on the ground tens of meters away and slipped into unconsciousness.
The school gate of the Central Province Academy was made using metal. When the Corona Starlord passed through it, it started twisting and warping before splitting apart. There were originally crickets chirping at the side, but all sounds instantly ceased after that moment.
In the study, Yang Shizhan who was currently working suddenly lifted his head with a heavy expression.
Pu!
(Three secondary saints arrived here in unison.. What does the Dark Dawn want to do?)
