Chapter 1233: Sun Mo’s Solo Show

“Teacher Sun, what do you think?”

The old farmer clasped his fists and lowered his attitude.

The others also glanced over, hoping that Sun Mo could give a useful suggestion.

Great teachers paid very much attention to their reputation. The higher ranked a great teacher was, the more learned they would be and they wouldn’t ask a question like that easily. This was also why many people couldn’t comprehend the halo ‘Learning from Everyone’.

Since the other party was asking him politely, Sun Mo naturally wouldn’t act arrogant. He clasped his hands and returned the greeting first before shaking his head slightly. “The information is too little and everything is temporarily unknown. I feel that the most important thing we should do now is to inspect and check every corner of the ship.”

“That’s right!”

Pang Tong clapped. “I’ve long since had this intention. Everyone, let’s get moving!”

Pang Tong was worried that others might wipe away clues if they discovered them. So, he dragged Wu You along and prepared to be the first to do the checking.

“Wait a minute, I feel that everyone shouldn’t move around recklessly. This matter ought to be handed over to Teacher Sun to do!”

The old farmer suggested.

Quarrels immediately broke out on the deck.

Because 50% of the people agreed, but the other half didn’t trust Sun Mo. They felt that it would be quicker if they looked for clues on their own.

“Anything!”

Sun Mo was fine with it.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed and headed to different locations, the old farmer angrily stomped his foot.

“Damn, these people are too arrogant!”

The old farmer walked to Sun Mo’s side. “Teacher Sun, pardon me for being so blunt. Do you have an idea?”

Sun Mo’s heart leaped but his expressions didn’t change. “Why do you say this?”

“Your mind is so steady that you don’t seem to be a young man of 20+ years old. You actually seem to be an experienced old monster.”

The old farmer surveyed Sun Mo and lowered his voice. “There are two ways to break the situation. Firstly, we look for clues. Secondly, you have foreseen this possibility and you have a method set up in advance.

“If you only had the first method to depend on, you would have stopped them because if you are not the first to check the ship, you won’t be able to receive first-hand information. However, you are not concerned about that at all. This means that my second guess is the truth.”

“Are you not overestimating me a little too much?”

Sun Mo chortled.

“If Great Teacher Sun isn’t willing to say anything, I won’t force you!”

The old farmer left. As a 5-stars, he had his own pride and wouldn’t be a simp just to seek help from Sun Mo. Besides, what if this was the first test of the exam?

So, it still had to depend on oneself.

“As expected, among high star-ranking great teachers, the vast majority are truly capable. This old farmer could guess that I have another plan. The others probably could guess it too.”

Sun Mo decided to do nothing first and merely observed the situation.

Half a day passed and everyone had no harvest. Although three of the great teachers knew sailing, no one knew the direction of the prison, so they had no way to proceed. They could only allow the ship to drift randomly on the waves.

It was a quiet night. On the next morning, just when Sun Mo was about to enter meditation, someone knocked on his door thunderously.

“Teacher Sun, something happened. Two great teachers have vanished!”

Sun Mo opened the door and saw that it was none other than Wang Bibao whom he had a good impression of.

When Sun Mo and he went onto the dock, all the other great teachers were already gathered.

“It’s confirmed. This must be a test. The two of them should have found some clues and left in advance.”

The old farmer was envious.

Everyone agreed with this answer because it was simply too difficult if one wanted to kill a 5-stars great teacher silently in a sealed space such as a ship.

“Did anyone here know the subjects that those two great teachers majored in?”

The old farmer asked.

No one answered.

No one was a fool. If this round had a ranking, everyone here would be a competitor. They naturally had to protect the information well.

The second day passed.

At dawn, yet another great teacher ‘vanished’.

This time around, even more people lost their calm. Their expressions were heavy. This meant that the rest of them were already two days behind.

When everyone was about to leave and ignore this, Lian Hongying suddenly spoke.

“Everyone, I have a way to lead you guys to the Great Prison of Desolation, but I have a condition. You guys have to take out a secret treasure of equivalent value as compensation.”

Swish~

Everyone turned and stared at her.

“What solution do you have?”

Pang Tong asked.

“Isn’t Teacher Sun a genius? Why don’t you take a guess?”

Lian Hongying didn’t forget the disadvantage she had suffered in Yehuo City. She wanted to use this chance to mock Sun Mo.

“Poisoning a stranger. You still have the face to talk about this? Do you still want face?”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched.

Lian Hongying’s countenance turned unsightly because Sun Mo was correct.

She had been unhappy with the guide so she had intentionally poisoned him. After leaving the area, the poison would take effect three days later.

From the looks of things now, Lian Hongying could be considered to have succeeded by a lucky stroke. When that fellow discovered that he was poisoned, he would surely come back to beg for the antidote.

“Teacher Sun, you can’t say such things. That person was too mouthy and was asking for a beating. This time around, everyone will have to owe a favor to Teacher Lian.”

Someone spoke up for Lian Hongying but made no mention of compensation. Since the guide would come back, they would simply have to follow the guide at that time.

“If you are capable, think of a solution yourself!”

Lian Hongying provoked.

“You are a poison master so it’s understandable that you couldn’t tell. Let me tell you a secret now. That guide from before is a puppet!”

Sun Mo shrugged.

“What?”

Everyone was badly shocked.

Hope just birthed in their hearts and was instantly destroyed. This time around, even Lian Hongying was panicking.

“The expressions of that fellow were so vivid and life-like, how is it possible that he’s a puppet?”

Pang Tong doubted. “Besides, since he can be a guide, his position in the great prison probably isn’t low. This is why I paid special attention to him. There were truly no flaws!”

“That’s right, I’ve also observed him closely!”

Everyone started speaking.

“Teacher Sun, are you also a grandmaster puppeteer?”

The old farmer was curious because if one didn’t have the vision of the grandmaster level, they wouldn’t be able to discover such a problem.

“I don’t have the certification, but my level of expertise is around there!”

Sun Mo smiled. If he didn’t show some capabilities, he wouldn’t be able to suppress these guys.

As expected, after hearing that Sun Mo was actually a grandmaster puppeteer, many people inhaled a breath of cold air and contributed another wave of favorable contribution points.

“If the guide was the masterpiece of an ancestor-level puppeteer, it would be very normal that none of us could see through it!”

The old farmer believed in Sun Mo’s judgment.

“What should we do now?”

Everyone frowned in worry. They couldn’t possibly die before even reaching the prison, right?

“The person who talks about the problem is naturally the one who can solve it!”

Pang Tong glanced at Sun Mo. “Teacher Sun, why don’t you help everyone?”

Swish~

Everyone looked over.

Since Sun Mo had long since seen through that the guide was a puppet, he should have already taken some precautions.

“Alright!”

Just when Sun Mo was preparing to act, a vibration spread from below the deck.

“What’s going on?”

Pang Tong asked in shock.

“Oh no, there’s something in the water!”

The farmer shouted. Everyone instinctively rushed back and wanted to ascertain the situation. But at the next second, an explosion occurred and the entire ship seemed to be struck by a torpedo. After that, a thick water pillar blasted into the air, rending the ship into two.

Below the sea, a gigantic black shadow could be seen moving rapidly, breaking the structure of the ship.

Rumble! Rumble!

The ship was torn into pieces and everyone also fell into the water.

The only exception was Sun Mo.

He had activated the Skyward Spirit Rune and floated in mid-air.

“Damn, does he have to flaunt it like that?”

After seeing this, Pang Tong cursed out loud.

The others also felt incomparably envious.

This was truly a method used by saints.

Sun Mo stared at the sea. From the silhouette and the tentacles that occasionally breached the sea’s surface, he could tell that it was a gigantic cuttlefish that was six to seven times larger than a mansion.

Sun Mo had planned to capture a sea beast and get it to fetch him to the prison. Now, things were much more convenient since this creature showed up. Sun Mo chanted some words and tossed a light-blue beam of light over.

Divine language of spiritual control, Sea Proof!

BOOM!

A beam of light shot into the cuttlefish’s body, but it was ineffective. After that, the cuttlefish started to go berserk.

“How troublesome!”

Sun Mo stretched out his hand and clutched his throat. He began to emit some strange soundwaves.

This monster should be a battle pet belonging to someone.

“What’s Sun Mo doing?”

In the sea, Pang Tong held onto a plank and felt very helpless.

“He seems to be communicating with that sea beast?”

Wu You guessed.

“How can that be possible? Isn’t that the domain of beast tamers? Besides, I heard that it’s much more difficult to tame sea beasts compared to land ones.”

Pang Tong didn’t believe it.

“If Sun Mo is also a grandmaster-level beast tamer, we should all just go and commit suicide.”

Wang Bibao sighed. Sun Mo’s current achievements were already enough to crush all of them. One must know that he was only in his twenties.

The truth proved that Pang Tong had guessed correctly because that cuttlefish no longer attacked anyone.

The head of the cuttlefish emerged from the sea and Sun Mo stood on it.

The sea was too vast and Sun Mo also didn’t have unlimited spirit energy. It was impossible for him to keep flying.

“Great Teacher Sun, don’t leave us here!”

Pang Tong begged and even changed his way of address for Sun Mo.

“This is a test by Saint Gate, so no one will die. At most, people will come to save you all three days later if you guys are still stuck here.”

Sun Mo analyzed.

“Great Teacher Sun, I have a carving knife here that used to belong to a saint. I can give it to you as compensation.”

Pang Tong gave a price.

“Are you lying to a fool?”

Lian Hongying spoke in contempt. If that carving knife was an object belonging to a saint, there would absolutely not be anyone willing to give it away.

“This is the great teacher examination… if I help you guys…”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Everyone here is a great teacher and should help each other out. Speaking of ranking, you will naturally be the first!”

Wu You guaranteed.

Everyone hurriedly agreed

“Alright then!”

Sun Mo agreed. “However, I don’t want any monetary rewards. Everyone just has to make a promise that after the exam ends, you guys have to go to the Central Province Academy every year for three years to give a hundred lessons per year. If you are willing, I’ll help you guys.”

Everyone agreed straightforwardly. In any case, it was the same no matter where they gave their lessons.

Also, they wanted nothing more than to draw their relationship closer to Sun Mo.

A few of them got on the cuttlefish, but some chose not to use it.

At this moment, everyone finally revealed their trump cards.

That farmer was also a beast tamer. He controlled a group of fishes to be his mount, and there was also another person who used a puppet as his mount.

Wu You was a grandmaster botanist. He had an extremely rare plant in his hand that could survive on both land and water. It could swim in the sea and was very mysterious.

Over ten nautical miles away from this place, a middle-aged man stood on a boat. He had a look of astonishment on his face.

Through the eyes of a seagull, he could see his treasured cuttlefish obeying Sun Mo and leading them to the lone island.

“Is there still any logic? Is this not my battle pet any longer?”

The middle-aged man Ji Han scratched his head.

He was a grandmaster in both puppetry and the art of spiritual control, as well as a staff ranked fifth in the entire Great Prison of Desolation. He was in charge of external affairs so he had the responsibility of guiding the examinees to the prison.

For this stage, it wasn’t a test set by Saint Gate but the internal departments of the great prison.

This prison had been isolated for thousands of years and had formed a sealed social circle. The people here wouldn’t care about your star-rank or identity. They would only look at your strength.

If you were not strong enough, you wouldn’t be permitted to get on the island.

Naturally, this was for the sake of the examinees too. The prisoners here were all felons and if one wasn’t careful, it was very easy for the examinees to be killed instead.

Ji Han got his subordinate to control the ship and chase after Sun Mo. At the same time, he gave an order to the cuttlefish, ordering it to toss Sun Mo and the others into the sea and leave them. However, the cuttlefish rejected it.

“What the hell?”

Ji Han folded hand seals and cast a spiritual controlling technique to punish the cuttlefish.

Rumble~

The cuttlefish, who was in intense pain, flipped its body and sank into the sea, causing everyone to fall once again.

“Don’t be afraid, let me help you!”

Sun Mo had made an agreement with the cuttlefish. As long as it brought him to the prison on the lone island, he would help it to gain freedom. But there was no time now.

Swish~

Sun Mo tossed Freedom Proof out.

This was a divine language of spiritual control that could return freedom. The cuttlefish knew this was something good. In addition to the agreement they had, it didn’t resist and this allowed Freedom Proof to succeed in one try.

Wu!

An ear-piercing soundwave blasted outward. This was the cuttlefish’s cry of joy.

On the boat, Ji Han felt a splitting headache. His body trembled as he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Teacher Ji!”

The subordinates below saw that their teacher was injured and they were all frightened by this scene.

(Who are these people? They could actually hurt Teacher?)

“Increase the speed, go and fetch those examinees!”

Ji Han’s expression was gloomy. He knew that he had lost this round.

Very soon, the boat appeared before Sun Mo’s group.

A moment later, everyone got on board and was staring unhappily at Ji Han. The appearance of this person was exactly the same as the guide.

“Teacher Sun, is this person a human or puppet?”

Pang Tong asked in a low voice.

“A human!”

Sun Mo confirmed.

“I’m Ji Han, a 7-stars great teacher. I’m in charge of all external affairs for the Prison of Desperation!”

As Ji Han made his introduction, he stared at Sun Mo. Through the eyes of his seagull, he had seen Sun Mo breaking his spiritual contract with the cuttlefish.

“You know the art of spiritual control?”

Ji Han asked.

Everyone’s expressions of unhappiness were immediately retracted. There was no solution to it, as they couldn’t afford to offend a 7-stars great teacher.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo nodded. After that, he admonished Ji Han. “Since you are a 7-stars, you should have understood that the relationship between spiritual controllers and their battle pets are one of companionship and not slavery.”

Swish~

Everyone looked over with astonishment in their eyes. (Are you iron-headed or is your body missing a few ribs? This is the first time you guys met and you are already admonishing a 7-stars? Are you sure that water hasn’t entered your brains?)

“So, you are Sun Mo?”

Ji Han had seen the name list of the examinees. Every time he saw Sun Mo’s age, he thought that the staff had written it wrongly. But from the looks of things, he was indeed an arrogant young man overflowing with talent and having a heart as lofty as the sky.

“You should address me as Teacher Sun!”

Sun Mo corrected.

“Teacher Sun, just speak less!”

The old farmer persuaded. (You just freed his sea beast. It’s only reasonable that he’s angry.)

“Among the myriad creatures of heaven and earth, humans are the only ones that are spiritual!”

Ji Han stared at Sun Mo. “Humans are the lord of the world, the leader of the myriad of creatures. Controlling a mere creature and you want me to speak of fairness? In that case, before you eat pork and lamb, have you considered fairness before?”

Sun Mo frowned. Why did he have to run into a human supremacist?

“Teacher Ji, can we be considered to have passed this round?”

The old farmer changed the topic. There was no ending when quarreling with people like him. Even if you were correct, he would make specious arguments.

“The exam this time around is far more difficult than what you guys imagined. I’m only going to say one thing. There’s still time if you guys want to quit now. After you get on the island, either you pass or you die!”

Ji Han coldly snorted.
