Chapter 999: My Teacher Is the Best In the World!

Translator: Lordbluefire

What was the responsibility of a great teacher?

It was to educate and nurture people, helping students to grow and become pillars of the world.

If an intern teacher was able to consecutively help two high star-level great teachers level up, then they’d definitely have the right to be given a 1-star great teacher title directly.

However, that would be restricted to 1-star and 2-stars only.

It was because in the great teacher world, it didn’t matter if there was one more or one less great teacher of such level.

However, if the little sunny egg were to hear this, she’d definitely scoff.

She didn’t want such ‘treatment’. If she were to raise her star-level, it must be through passing the examinations, getting first place in an open-and-aboveboard manner.

It was a mess in the lecture theater.

“What should we do now?”

Li Ziqi didn’t know what to do either and could only stop the lesson.

She didn’t expect that the prowess of a few words from her teacher turned out to be so great.

Sun Mo had actually played a trick.

The universal truth of spirit runes was eternity?

Sun Mo had no idea either.

The reason he had said this was to make the spirit runes subject rise to a philosophical level.

What was the concept of a 7-stars great teacher?

In the modern world, they’d definitely be someone who could get the Changjiang Scholar Award [1].

If Sun Mo was to go up against Tong Xugao, he might have a chance. But the little sunny egg?

Even if she was a genius, she’d be crushed.

Her goal should be people like Wang Song or Qian Hao.

Then how should she let a 7-stars great teacher take the initiative to ask her questions?

At times like this, it was philosophy’s turn to step up.

Regardless of the subject, it was impossible for them to explain the world’s profoundness completely. Even deep and profound physics theories were constantly progressing through verifying and overthrowing past theories.

Humans were too insignificant when compared with the world and the universe.

Therefore, philosophy was born.

After all, problems that couldn’t be taken care of by science could be comprehended by thoughts.

Ordinary people wouldn’t have any interest in philosophy as they couldn’t understand it. However, these high star-level great teachers saw a world that was different from ordinary people, and they could comprehend some philosophical thinking.

Of course, Sun Mo wasn’t lying. He was just introducing a new system of recognition.

Why would Tong Xugao enter a state of enlightenment?

It was because Sun Mo had given him a brand new way of recognizing the world.

It was like how a person had previously used their eyes to look at the starry sky, but now, after using a high-end telescope, the things that the person could see were naturally different.

Sun Mo’s teacher in university taught Marx philosophy, and he had said before that the more one was learned and had their own thinking, the easier it was for the person to be easily immersed in the sea of philosophy.

In the study of spirit runes, Tong Xugao was almost done walking down the path paved by the ancestors. Next, he’d have to walk his own path. However, he had no idea how to do it.

Right now, Sun Mo had broadened his vision.

What Li Ziqi said about how the universal truth was eternity was like a spring breeze, blowing away all the fog that was seething in front of Tong Xugao.

Boom!

A silver halo suddenly erupted from Tong Xugao, extending out over the entire lecture theater. Then, a bunch of silver light spots appeared above his head, flowing down like a waterfall.

Splash!

The silver light spots splattered, looking like clear water splashes. There also seemed to be ringing sounds.

“This… this is… En…”

“Enlightenment Provision!”

“My god, this is my first time seeing it!”

The great teachers who were watching this were completely shocked.

This halo was extremely rare and could only be grasped by a small number of high star-level great teachers.

It was called Enlightenment Provision. After using it, one could forcibly stuff knowledge into a student’s brain. The student wouldn’t need to learn to be able to understand and use the knowledge directly.

At the same time, it’d give students extremely great inspiration.

However, this halo would deplete the great teacher’s mental energy. Usually, after releasing it, they’d be weak for ten days to half a month.

Of course, the effect was very strong.

It was because the duration of one halo would allow a student to grasp all the content the teacher wanted to teach.

However, there were limits to its uses.

If the student was too stupid, their brain cells would be destroyed by the knowledge the great teacher channeled into their brain. In lighter situations, they’d suffer from slight headaches and be giddy for many days. In serious situations, they’d become dull-witted.

In the commonly known value of the Nine Provinces’ great teachers, such ways of taking shortcuts were detestable. Therefore, they rarely used this halo.

Therefore, Enlightenment Provision was even rarer than Teacher for a Day, Father for Life.

Right now, everyone’s vision had been broadened.

Tong Xugao returned to his senses. Looking at the light on him that was gradually turning fainter, he was a little surprised, a little speechless, and a little disappointed.

What he wanted was to understand the universal truth and eternity, as well as the final goal of spirit runes and the path that he should be taking. However, he had only made a little sense of it. He didn’t expect to comprehend Enlightenment Provision by surprise.

The foundational reason was still the fact that Li Ziqi’s words had brought Tong Xugao a great blow.

It was like how believers of the geocentric model would receive a great astonishment that would cause their perspectives to completely crumble when they heard about heliocentrism for the first time.

Returning from his stunned state, Tong Xugao cupped his hands together and gave a deep bow toward Li Ziqi.

“Thank you Teacher Li [2] for your guidance, allowing this student to gain enlightenment and broaden my vision.”

Tong Xugao’s words were sincere and humble.

For a great teacher who had comprehended Learning from Everyone, they had this broad-mindedness. Moreover, Tong Xugao still wanted to look for Sun Mo to discuss this topic further.

If he didn’t give Li Ziqi a hand here and do her a favor, how could he go approach Sun Mo in the future?

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The bell signaling the end of the lesson rang out. However, no one in the lecture theater cared about it. All of them looked at Tong Xugao with a stunned expression, then their gaze landed on Li Ziqi.

(That can’t be, right? How outstanding must you be to let a 7-stars great teacher with such great status say something like this?)

“Teacher Tong, there’s no need to show such great courtesy!”

Li Ziqi quickly dodged the bow. “What I said is just an independent school of thought!”

Although the little sunny egg said this, her heart was palpitating, feeling like it was going to jump out from her throat.

Right now, she only wanted to yell out one line.

(My teacher is the best in the world! Look at this. The content that he had taught me was able to let a 7-stars great teacher attain enlightenment and be convinced in just a few minutes.)

(How amazing is this? Thank you, Secondary Saint Zhou! Thank goodness you hadn’t taken me in. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to learn by Teacher’s side. This is the greatest fortune in my lifetime.)

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi +10,000. Reverence (91,850/100,000).

“I wouldn’t dare say that I can get a 7-stars great teacher to be convinced by me even if I had drunk until I vomited blood!”

“That’s amazing. Such an experience is enough for one to boast for a lifetime.”

“Boast for a lifetime? If it was me, I’d engrave this experience onto my tombstone, letting my descendants see it whenever they come to pay respect to me. I’ll let them know that when I was young, I was amazing too.”

Noises broke out in the classroom.

Everyone watching felt very emotional. They’d probably only be able to see such a scene once in their lifetime.

“There’s no need to be humble. These words really inspire one to go into deep thought!”

Tong Xugao shook his head, assuming an amicable attitude. If it wasn’t because this wasn’t the right place for it, he’d really want to engage in a deeper discussion with Li Ziqi. “Oh right, where’s your teacher staying at right now?”

When the great teachers heard this, all of them instantly felt envious. It seemed that Tong Xugao was going to pay Sun Mo a visit personally.

Tsk tsk!

This was really impressive.

“Shall we talk about this in private? Some examinees still have to attend classes later on!”

Li Ziqi suggested.

“En!”

Tong Xugao nodded and then walked toward the rostrum, not holding back because of anyone present, placing all three of his votes into the box there.

“Continue to work hard. I hope that before I die from old age, I’ll be able to witness the rise of a legend.”

Tong Xugao encouraged her.

“En!”

Li Ziqi nodded and left the lecture theater. There was no need to stay and watch. She had achieved great success in this lesson.

(Teacher’s battle tactic was perfect!)

…

After Zhou Wenbin was done with the lesson, he left the lecture theater without even turning back. He then walked out of the school grounds quickly, got on the horse carriage, and rushed back to the manor.

He didn’t wish to stay here even one more second.

His results today were worse than the day before. The number of attendees had reduced by half.

He had taken out an ancient spirit rune to be used as teaching material.

Only a few people knew about this spirit rune. Someone had brought this as a gift when requesting his father’s help in a matter. If this was brought to the black market, it could be sold for at least 100,000 spirit stones.

This was his trump card.

“It’s alright. After the news of a new spirit rune spreads out, the situation will definitely turn for the better.”

Zhou Wenbin consoled himself.

After returning to the manor, he took a comfortable bath and was served by six maids. Zhou Wenbin then planned on taking a short rest, but he couldn’t fall asleep.

He was still concerned about Li Ziqi’s results.

During lunch, the old butler who had gone out to find out information came back. He looked at the young master, finding it hard to speak up.

“It’s very good?”

Zhou Wenbin pretended to be calm.

The old butler was silent. (How am I supposed to say this? It wasn’t just very good! It was off the charts. The 7-stars great teacher Tong Xugao has cast three votes for her directly. What’s the point of competing now?)

“It’s extremely good?”

Zhou Wenbin frowned. When he saw that the old butler still wasn’t saying anything, he felt angry. “Speak up!”

“Young Master, why don’t we place our energy on the martial examination?”

The old butler sighed.

They could do some tricks, for example, put Zhou Wenbin and Li Ziqi into the same group. With that, he could defeat her fair and square, salvaging his reputation.

Bang!

Zhou Wenbin, who was being doubted, slapped the table.

“What are you talking about? There’s still one more round. I can turn the tables around.”

The old butler had no choice but to say everything that had happened in class today.

Zhou Wenbin was stunned on the spot.

Tong Xugao thanked Li Ziqi for her guidance in the capacity of a student?

(Is there something wrong with this? Don’t you care about your reputation as a 7-stars great teacher?)

“No, I can still turn the tables around. After all, I have just publicized an ancient spirit rune.”

Zhou Wenbin was unwilling to give up.

The old butler didn’t wear any expression on his face but retorted in his heart, feeling speechless, (Can’t you just admit it? Li Ziqi has brought out several new spirit runes and was even generous enough to explain their structures. In our Zhou Clan, the only one who can compare with her broadmindedness would be the secondary saint.)

…

Jiang Zizhong was more accepting of the situation than Zhou Wenbin was. He stopped comparing but turned his focus onto the martial examination.

Turned out that he was right.

After accumulating popularity in the first two classes, the number of people attending Li Ziqi’s third class went over the scale. The entire corridor was packed with people who wanted to listen to her class. This affected the other examinees who were on the same level.

Zhou Wenbin almost spewed blood from anger when he faced a lecture theater with only a couple of people. He walked off directly.

This was really the greatest humiliation.

As a great talent, a member of a reputable clan, Zhou Wenbin had never been put through such humiliation ever since he was born.

…

Five days later, the round ended. Li Ziqi undoubtedly came out in first place.. Then, her greatest shortcoming—the martial examination—came.
