Chapter 1036: Black Doggy Sun Whose Fame Is Still Passable

“Is it correct or not?”

Lu Zhiruo pressed.

“Zhiruo, mind your manners.”

Li Ziqi cast a glance to check the bald spot administrator’s reaction and immediately knew that her teacher was correct. She reminded Lu Zhiruo to be more low profile because she was worried her junior martial sister’s words might cause the other party to increase the difficulty of the spirit runes.

(But I’m still being too careful. In any case, no matter what spirit runes he takes out, Teacher will recognize them.)

After thinking through this clearly, the little sunny egg no longer cared about the papaya girl.

“Right!”

Liu Bantu scratched his hair and cast a deep glance at Sun Mo. He then bent his waist and took out a metal box from under his office desk. After opening the box, he solemnly took a spirit rune out.

“Please!”

This time around, Liu Bantu became much more respectful.

Sun Mo nodded and started to observe the spirit rune. This time around, he pondered for three minutes.

“Hu, he won’t be able to immediately decipher this, right?”

Liu Bantu heaved a sigh of relief. After that, he started feeling conflicted.

(Should I allow him to leave?)

After all, there was definitely no way to decipher this rune in a short time. But after that, Liu Bantu still chose to give up.

Because when he saw Sun Mo’s contemplating expression, he suddenly couldn’t bear to interrupt him.

What a good seedling!

Liu Bantu’s love for talent surged. He sighed ruefully and sat back down. Just when he was preparing to continue with his work, he heard the other party’s voice ringing out.

“What do you think?”

Sun Mo’s rich-sounding voice caused Liu Bantu to silently praise it. How sunshine-like.

It was a pity that Sun Mo didn’t venture into the entertainment industry.

“This should be a spirit rune that has a connection with water?”

The little sunny egg guessed.

“The two of you, when analyzing the spirit runes, a mutual discussion is forbidden or the answer will be treated as invalid.”

Liu Bantu reminded them.

“Oh!”

Sun Mo felt regret. He wanted to explain to Li Ziqi but it was fine. The little sunny egg had a retentive memory and had long since memorized this. He could explain it to her after they returned.

“This is a spirit rune that will cause one’s cells to swell up from edema.”

Sun Mo explained.

“Cells?”

Liu Bantu furrowed his brows.

“Oh, it means it will cause edema to your body and you will eventually die from it. It should be a spirit rune used in assassinations, right?”

It could be considered that Sun Mo’s horizons were widened.

If this spirit rune was carved on a bed plank, the unsuspecting sleeper would be killed without anyone knowing why.

“…”

Liu Bantu was completely stunned.

Sun Mo’s answer was correct.

One must know that this was an ‘A’ rank spirit rune.

This method of classification was thought up by Bai Wenzhang.

The ranking started from ‘D’, ‘C’, ‘B’, ‘A’, ‘AA’, ‘AAA’, ‘Super A’. The higher the rank, the higher the difficulty.

Usually speaking, a grandmaster would need about a day worth of time to decipher an ‘A’ rank spirit rune. In the end, this young man resolved it in three minutes.

(Are you not a little too outstanding?!)

“Let’s continue!”

Sun Mo smiled.

“Mn!”

Liu Bantu didn’t dare to slight him and took out another ‘A’ ranked spirit rune.

He had no intentions of making things difficult for Sun Mo and purely wanted to see whether Sun Mo was lucky and had merely met similar types of spirit runes before, or he was truly capable.

Five minutes later, Sun Mo gave the answer once more.

“A spirit rune that causes living creatures to rot.”

Sun Mo frowned. “Are there any recovery-type spirit runes?”

He didn’t like spirit runes that had a harmful nature.

Liu Bantu’s lips twitched.

(Do you think you are choosing vegetables? And that you have the power to make a choice?)

If it was someone else saying this, Liu Bantu would have long since scolded them. But when facing Sun Mo, he suddenly didn’t dare to do so.

Honestly speaking, consecutively taking out ‘A’ ranked spirit runes was already considered him ‘making things difficult’ for Sun Mo.

Bai Wenzhang was very magnanimous and didn’t forbid outsiders to view the three world-class difficulty questions. He merely set ten entry questions because he didn’t want any random Tom, Dick, or Harry who only had basic knowledge in the study of spirit runes to come and partake in the liveliness.

Half an hour later, Sun Mo had deciphered ten spirit runes.

“I’ll first go and take a look at those three questions. You can relax first and take your time.”

After Sun Mo took three steps forward, he suddenly turned his head. “The spirit rune before you is a Spirit Gathering Rune.”

“What?”

Liu Bantu couldn’t react in time.

“The simplest type, a Spirit Gathering Rune.”

Sun Mo repeated.

“How can this be possible?”

Liu Bantu was depressed. This spirit rune had been purchased from the personal student of a high star-ranking great teacher after they had spent a large amount of money.

Moreover, the spirit rune looked so complex. How could it possibly be just a Spirit Gathering Rune?

“Ziqi, fill the rest of the lines up for him!”

Sun Mo instructed.

If one were to ask who among the spirit runists in the Nine Provinces was the most proficient in Spirit Gathering Runes…

(Sorry, I’m ranked number one!)

Lu Zhiruo waved her hands at Li Ziqi and continued following Sun Mo like a little puppy.

Half an hour later, Li Ziqi finished mending the spirit runes by patching up the fragmented runic lines.

“You can give it a try!” Li Ziqi smiled. “Can I continue solving more spirit runes?”

Liu Bantu took out another spirit rune and passed it to Li Ziqi. “If your mending of that rune is correct, I will give you a point.”

“No need.”

Li Ziqi shook her head. (I still want to look at more spirit runes.)

When Liu Bantu heard this, he was stunned.

(Are all the young people these days so confident in themselves?)

But very soon, he understood that Li Ziqi had the capabilities to be confident.

He drew out that ancient spirit rune according to the trajectories and pathways that were drawn by Li Ziqi. After activating it, he discovered that the rune really only had the effect of spirit qi gathering.

“Is that man your teacher?” Liu Bantu asked.

“Mn!” Li Ziqi nodded.

“What is his name?”

Liu Bantu was curious. “Such an impressive young man should be very famous in the spirit rune world of the Nine Provinces, right?”

“My teacher’s surname is ‘Sun’ and his given name is ‘Mo’.”

Li Ziqi smiled. “His fame is still passable!”

The Dragonspirit Manor was the most proficient in spirit runes. So, Li Ziqi didn’t wish to attract hatred for Sun Mo. If she said that he was the number one spirit runist in Jiangnan, he would surely have more enemies then.

“Hey. I’ve deciphered this. This is a type of mental-type spirit rune. It can cause someone to suffer from insomnia, have nightmares, and die from fright.”

Li Ziqi pursed her lips.

(I cannot lose face for Teacher, and I have to do my best to quickly decipher ten spirit runes.)

“...”

Liu Bantu was shocked. He surveyed Li Ziqi and tried to endure it but eventually still failed to do so.

“My name is Liu Gang. Five years ago, I passed when I participated in the Grandmaster Spirit Runist Examination. Do you want to take me on as your teacher?”

After speaking, Liu Gang felt a little depressed.

(Isn’t my momentum a little too weak? I don’t seem like a grandmaster at all!)

Just when Liu Gang was thinking about how to remedy the situation, he heard Li Ziqi’s rejection.

“Sorry, I already have a teacher.”

“Hehe!”

Liu Gang smiled awkwardly and didn’t continue to persuade Li Ziqi.

Actually, he knew in his bones that this girl wouldn’t accept him.

That young man was 100 times more handsome than him, and his level of knowledge was equal to him. He had an immeasurable future. If it was himself in question, he also wouldn’t choose a middle-aged man that had no future as his teacher!

Moreover, he was a bantu! (Has a bald spot.)

Li Ziqi was very obedient and knew her manners. Also, she was pretty and very talented. Liu Gang truly wanted to help her. Hence, the spirit runes he took out were all not very complicated.

“Eh? Our old pedant here is actually not focusing on analyzing spirit runes but is looking at girls instead?”

A middle-aged man who was here to return books could see Liu Gang sneaking glances occasionally at the young girl. Hence, he couldn’t help but tease him.

“Don’t speak blindly. Even if I don’t want face, the other party does.”

Liu Gang berated.

“What happened?”

The middle-aged man was curious.

“She is a guest who came to the manor today. Her teacher is really impressive!”

Liu Gang introduced.

“How is his fame?” The middle-aged man casually asked, “Which famous school is he from?”

Those who were qualified to come here were all major characters in the great teacher world.

“His fame is still passable!”

Liu Gang’s lips twitched. “I didn’t ask which school he is from, but I estimate that his standards are at the ‘A’ rank at the very least.”

“Merely the ‘A’ rank!”

The lips of the middle-aged man twitched. (Since that’s the case, this guy probably isn’t the person invited by the Dean. He must have come here to further improve himself.)

…

Sun Mo left the ancient spirit rune building. He asked two people and found the location of the first world-class difficulty question. It was located in a stone building.

This was a building with a circular design and looked a little like a yurt.

There were two guards guarding here.

After Sun Mo showed them the certificate given to him by that administrator from before, the guards allowed him to enter.

Upon entering the stone house, Sun Mo discovered that it was pitch dark.

There were no windows here, only some ventilation openings at concealed areas.

Sun Mo climbed the stairs after his eyes had adjusted to the dimness.

On the second floor, there was a metal shelf that was placed in the center of the room. A globe was placed on it. With just a glance, it looked like a globe that represented a planet.

This item was clad in a layer of light. Just from looking at it, Sun Mo had no way to distinguish whether the material used to make it was some type of metal or ore.

“Could it be radioactive?”

Sun Mo heard that the majority of objects that could light up automatically were all radioactive. Hence, he activated Divine Sight.

Sadly, he only saw the words ‘ineffective target’.

The system forbade his usage of Divine Sight again.

There were several people seated in the globe’s surroundings. Some were frowning and deep in thought, while others were fully focused on observing the ‘globe’. Some even had pale expressions and were lying limply on the floor to rest.

However, no one spoke and no one paid attention to Sun Mo.

Sun Mo did a rough count and counted about 80 people. After that, he found a seat at the corner and sat down as he looked at the globe.

He had checked with that administrator earlier. It was said that the first difficult question was to solve the mysteries of this globe.

Sun Mo had only planned to take a casual look, but the moment his gaze landed on it, his mind shook and it was like his energy was being sapped away.

A sense of fatigue appeared.

“It can’t be, right? It’s so terrifying?”

Sun Mo was someone who had seen major situations before. He wasn’t afraid at all and continued to meticulously observe the runic lines on the surface of the spheroid.

Could it be something like Earth?

A planet?

Sun Mo knew that far in the west, there were many countries that were collectively known as the Western Empire. However, because the sailing and navigation techniques in this world were backward, it would take too much time to head there and return.

One would need several years.

Could these runic lines be some kind of coastline or altitude but were drawn out using spirit runes?

Sun Mo started to ponder and observed it like how he would look at a map. And he actually succeeded by a lucky stroke.

BOOM!

The surface of the globe suddenly released a bright light before the light weakened. During this period, a cherry-sized ball of light shot into the globe.

Swish~

The surrounding people immediately stared at the corner where the ball of light appeared and saw Sun Mo.

“Who is this?”

Some people from the Manor discovered a fresh face that they had never seen before and began to call out in disbelief.

The appearance of the ball of light indicated that the person had succeeded in deciphering the outer shell and achieved success for the first step. He would be able to ‘communicate’ with the globe now.

One must know that two-thirds of the people here weren’t able to do this.

Who were these people here?

They were all grandmaster-level spirit runists that came from various places in the Nine Provinces.
