Absolute Great Teacher-Chapter 1274 - 7-stars Title, Here I Come!

Chapter 1274: 7-stars Title, Here I Come!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ammunition clip in Chao Cuo’s hands was emptied. After that, he sank into deep thought as he stared at the rock that was now shattered. They were used as a target and placed 50 meters away.

‘The other spectating examiners were in fervent discussion, shock filling their faces.

This weapon named ‘handgun’ was truly impressive!

Leaving aside its might, just its ease of usage would allow ordinary people to master it quickly.

Everyone knew that archery was a troublesome thing. If one wanted to nurture a qualified archer, they would need several years. It would take longer if you wanted the archer to be capable of firing while mounted on a horse. However, the appearance of crossbows could allow one to train archery rapidly,

greatly reducing the time needed to produce a qualified archer.

But this handgun had even higher efficiency than that. You just had to arm this weapon once, and it could fire nine times.

“How is it?”

This spirit rune handgun didn’t use gunpowder but spirit qi, so there was no recoil. Besides, even if there were recoils, given the wrist strength of cultivators, it would just be as easy as using chopsticks to eat.

“It is a very convenient type of weapon that is easily concealed. What is this part called?”

Chao Cuo asked.

“The trigger!”

Sun Mo took the chance to explain the names of each part.

“Mn, the most terrifying thing is when you pull the trigger, you can hit enemies that are tens of meters away from you.”

Chao Cuo sighed in admiration.

In the era of cold weapons, everyone was most afraid of assassins with hidden weapons. They could just fire darts concealed in their sleeves. No matter who their targets were, the targets would definitely suffer a huge disadvantage.

Moreover, this handgun was even more nimble compared to the traditional hidden weapons. At the very least, you still had to throw the darts, but for this handgun, you could simply take it out and fire.

“Once these weapons become popular in the market and are bought by ordinary people, cultivators below the Blood Ignition Realm would no longer have any advantages over ordinary people.”

“Yeah, if your enemy doesn’t die in one shot, you can simply fire a few more.”

“Not only so, since Teacher Sun has invented the handgun, it also means there can be larger guns. The more spirit qi is consumed, the greater the destructive might would be.”

‘These examiners were all weaponsmiths and could tell the practicality of the handgun with a single glance.

This was a weapon that could change the situation of the world!

Hence, the gazes everyone looked at Sun Mo with immediately heated up.

“Ancestor Sun, I wish to reserve one!”

“Me too!”

“are there any guns bigger than this? Give me one dozen!”

‘The examiners immediately set an order list, but the person who ordered a dozen was immediately viewed with contempt by the others.

(Are you not embarrassed to ask so many?)

(If you annoy Sun Mo, you probably won’t even be able to purchase a bullet.)

People who could become examiners in grandmaster-level examinations were naturally top existences in the field. Such people never lacked money.

‘They weren’t afraid of how expensive it might be; they were just afraid Sun Mo wouldn’t sell.

“Just like what everyone has said. The influence of this weapon would be too great, so I’m not going to sell it extensively!”

Sun Mo tactfully declined.

He knew that the moment guns appeared, as well as the waves of modifications that would soon follow, it would bring huge changes to how countries fought in wars.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to sell. Instead, he wanted to sell at a better price.

At the very least, he had to ensure the military strength of the Great Tang was a cut above the rest first.

After that, the examiners no longer tried to persuade Sun Mo. They were preparing to build a closer relationship with him privately and see if they could borrow a handgun for research.

“[ should have passed the exam, right?”

Sun Mo asked with a smile.

“That’s for sure!”

Chao Cuo solemnly nodded and felt that it was unfair for him. “If I say, I feel that making you come and participate in the grandmaster-level examination is a waste of time. You should directly go and participate in the ancestor-level one.”

‘The examiners were all shocked when they heard this. They knew that Sun Mo was very strong but didn’t expect that he was so strong to such an extent.

Sun Mo left, but those who remained soon became fervent again.

Chao Cuo directly took the handgun for himself. Although doing this was a little embarrassing, for the sake of improving his own skill at weaponsmithing, he could only bear with it and lose face this time around.

‘The examiners naturally didn’t want to give up so easily. Hence, they tried to find people who had a relationship with Sun Mo, wanting to purchase a handgun. This act automatically spread the information more and more.

Three days later, Luo Pei finished his exam. He had perfected something that was already extremely good and managed to create a superior-grade heaven-tier longsword. In the black market, it wasn’t a problem for him to sell this for 500,000 spirit stones.

“How can Sun Mo still compete against me now?”

Luo Pei was brimming with confidence, but he very soon discovered that after the examiners gave their evaluations, they no longer paid attention to him and quickly hurried off.

“What’s going on?”

Luo Pei had a dumbstruck look on his face. (Could it be that someone has created a saint-tier weapon?)

Very soon, Luo Pei learned that the origin of the commotion was Sun Mo. He didn’t create a saint-tier weapon but something with a brand new concept.

At this instant, Luo Pei was heavily impacted to the extent that he thought about giving up weaponsmithing.

This was because he understood how difficult it was to create a weapon with a new concept. Not only did one need to be skilled, but they also needed talent and intelligence.

‘When he created that superior-grade heaven-tier sword, some geniuses in the great teacher world could accomplish the same thing. But creating a handgun? Sun Mo was the only one who could do that.

This was the distance between them!

‘The grandmaster weaponsmith exam ended and Sun Mo successfully obtained the grandmaster title. Once again, his name shook the great teacher world. This was especially so for his creation, which caused many major characters to impatiently send letters over, wanting to purchase one.

Sadly, they didn’t succeed because Sun Mo had entered closed-door seclusion again.

It was said that he was making preparations for the ancestor-level weaponsmith examination because he wanted to become a 7-stars great teacher.

Time passed quickly, like a wife who was determined to marry another man, leaving with no reluctance.

Another half a year had passed. In early spring, the ancestor-level weaponsmithing examination started.

And as expected, Sun Mo was there.

‘There was actually a very troublesome matter in the exam this time around. Usually, ancestors weren’t willing to become examiners, but this time around, everyone actually spoke to the Saint Gate in advance and wanted an examiner slot for the sake of chatting with Sun Mo.

‘The exam venue this year was set in Jingyang. After Sun Mo arrived and settled his lodgings, some major characters who had been paying attention to his movements immediately came for a visit.

“Let’s talk after the exam if there’s anything else!”

Sun Mo closed the door and sent away all the visitors.

His rejection meant that those stuck outside his door were either ancestors, wealthy noblemen, and descendants of royalty. One could say that they were the major characters in a certain area.

If others dared to slight them like this, they would break the door and burn the house. But when they encountered Sun Mo, they could only smile and bear with it.

The current Sun Mo had the capital to do so.

Two days later, the ancestor-level exam started.

‘The questions were very difficult, but to Sun Mo, this entire process was nothing to write home about. It was like brushing your teeth and washing your face when you woke up, so relaxed that there was no difficulty at all.

Sun Mo had obtained an ancestor-level encyclopedia from the system and became the successor of a saint’s inheritance in the Prison of Desolation, having learned his insights and experiences in the study of weaponsmithing. Hence, one could say that Sun Mo was standing at the highest peak of the

weaponsmithing world in the Nine Provinces.

Sun Mo’s participation in this exam was no different from taking a walk in the park. Or in other words, he was already qualified to set the questions or be the examiner.

At the instant Sun Mo obtained the ancestor title, he once again broke all records and became the youngest dual ancestor in weaponsmithing and the study of spirit runes!

The entire great teacher world was in an uproar!

Everyone publicly acknowledged that among the great teachers in the Nine Provinces, Sun Mo had the strongest talent and learning. No one even came close to it!

This time when Sun Mo returned to Jinling, he didn’t enter seclusion anymore because the research had been completed.

Hence, he returned to the normal lifestyle of a teacher.

Giving lessons, guiding students, and when he had the time, he would head to the old headmaster’s private library to read and continue to upgrade his knowledge.

Because of the incident with Xuanyuan Po, Sun Mo felt a huge psychological impact. In fact, he even lost the mood and thoughts of visiting brothels.

Right now, Sun Mo only had a single goal—to become a saint as soon as possible. He wanted to become a major character that no one dared to antagonize.

Time passed rapidly, just like a flirty woman who married twice but ran away again the moment she found a rich guy.

Five months before Sun Mo’s 30th birthday, the 7-stars examination date finally came.

“Sun Mo, why don’t I accompany you there?”

Gu Xiuxun was worried. These past couple of months, Sun Mo’s mental state hadn’t been very good. He was simply too tense.

“No need!” Sun Mo shook his head. “Tl return very quickly!”

Mei Ziyu didn’t say anything, but she also wanted to follow him. However, she shrank back at the end because An Xinhui decided to temporarily put down all her responsibilities to accompany Sun Mo to participate in the exam.

At Saint Gate’s headquarters.

When Sun Mo and An Xinhui descended from the sky, everyone was shocked.

Although there were rumors that Sun Mo wanted to participate in the 7-stars great teacher examination, everyone felt that this was nothing but a foolish hope. After all, at this star rank, one needed a long time to accumulate knowledge and experience. As for Sun Mo, although 30 years old seemed to be

quite old for him, he was nothing but a bumbling child in the great teacher world.

It was just like doctors, the older the better. Great teachers were the same as well.

This time around, a total of 32 great teachers were participating in the 7-stars great teacher examination. When the aged them stood together with Sun Mo in the lecture theater, the visual comparison was truly frightening.

“Treally shouldn’t have come!”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with some streaks of white in his hair. He was 98 years old this year and was one of the youngest among the examinees. But even so, he was three times older than Sun Mo.

“Yeah, when compared with Sun Mo, I feel like I’m trash!”

“Sigh, don’t say anymore. My heart feels very painful!”

‘The examinees truly wanted to leave.

Not long later, Su Taiging arrived.

The main examiner this time around was none other than the current Sect Lord.

“Twon’t waste words as everyone’s time is tight. All your qualifications are already verified and there are no problems. Let’s start with the great teacher halo-examination test now!”

$u Taiging smiled. “Cast Telepathic Understanding first followed by 21 other great teacher halos on me. Who wants to be first?”

swish~

Everyone turned and looked at Sun Mo.

“Allow me!”

Sun Mo didn’t hesitate.

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

Numerous great teacher halos landed on Su Taiging cleanly with no hesitation.

Sun Mo passed the first round.

Honestly speaking, no one would be stuck in the first round.

“The second round will be to verify the result of your learning, regardless of which subject. We will arrange seven examiners with five of them being grandmasters and two being ancestors for grading purposes. Finally, the highest and lowest marks will be discarded to get the average, and you must score

at least 90 points before you can be considered to have passed.”

$u Taiging explained.

Upon hearing the terrifying 90 points, the expressions of several examinees changed. (The damnable Saint Gate, they have indeed increased the exam’s difficulty.)

Ai, how good would it be if they had come a few years earlier to try their luck. They might have passed then..
