Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 624: Transforming into Wind, Ceremony of Death!

Chapter 624: Transforming into Wind, Ceremony of Death!

Xuanyuan Po loved combat. Only during combat would he feel that he was living; only then would he feel that there was meaning in life.

Hence, when facing enemies, he had never feared death and would want his enemies to unleash all their moves. He wouldn’t even frown if his enemy unleashed an ultimate move that could kill him.

Hence, Xuanyuan Po loved powerful enemies. Even if he got killed, he would feel that it was a fitting ceremony.

But today, the combat addict’s brows were furrowed increasingly.

“Do you only know these moves?”

Xuanyuan Po finally couldn’t bear it and asked out loud.

Hua Jianmu’s expression froze, and his countenance turned ashen. Not only did his attacks grow fiercer, but he even roared in anger, “Just these moves are enough to kill you.”

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

The swift blade slashed out repeatedly, causing gusts of wind to blow wildly.

At this moment, Hua Jianmu even wanted to trade injury for injury. This was because Xuanyuan Po’s careless words had stabbed at his sore spot.

Yes, Hua Jianmu only knew these few moves. Even his ultimate skills, which he thought was extremely powerful, was merely an inferior-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. To a genius like Xuanyuan Po, it was completely insufficient.

“You definitely won’t be able to do it!”

Xuanyuan Po had no other thoughts. He just wanted to tell Hua Jianmu that he needed to use stronger cultivation arts. However, his words made Hua Jianmu so angry that he almost went crazy.

“Go to hell!”

The Second Month Lancet was a cultivation art his teacher imparted to him. (You are not permitted to speak badly about it.)

The combat grew increasingly intense. The two of them would both suffer injuries occasionally and fresh blood would splatter forth.

“His body constitution is passable, his courage is passable, and his aptitude is also passable. However, the cultivation art he trains in is too inferior!”

Mei Yazhi looked at Hua Jianmu and involuntarily shook her head. This was a good seedling, sadly, his potential was delayed due to various reasons.

Naturally, this wasn’t a fault of Han Xi. On the contrary, Han Xi had excavated Hua Jianmu’s potential to the max. Sadly, she also didn’t possess any good cultivation arts.

It was like two genius students. One was learning university-level knowledge while the other was learning elementary school knowledge. Twenty years later, the disparity between them would be as great as the distance between heaven and earth.

Upon thinking of this, Mei Yazhi sighed deeply. She once wanted to construct some libraries that would provide free access to children of poor families. However, not only did those who felt their benefits being threatened objected, but no one in her clan supported her.

After all, knowledge was power. Who would be willing to bequeath that freely to others?

What if those people tried to deal with them in the future after they had mastered the knowledge?

From then on, Mei Yazhi started to feel depressed and a trace of loathing toward the great teacher world.

...

“It’s a pity. This student has a powerful constitution, but he has no top-graded cultivation arts and is unable to unleash his talent fully!”

Gu Xiuxun sighed. Although Hua Jianmu was fighting very ferociously, he would lose for sure.

“I’ve always believed that one cannot choose their birth, but something like cultivation depends on one’s talent and not one’s origin. But from the looks of things now, I am still too naive.”

Li Ziqi sighed sorrowfully and felt even more determined to build the largest library in the Nine Provinces. The library she opened shall be opened freely to kids of poor families.

“You only know this by now?”

Ying Baiwu rolled her eyes. After that, she felt even more gratitude toward Sun Mo. If she didn’t encounter Sun Mo, she would still be struggling in the bottom-most layer of society.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Ying Baiwu +500. Reverence (10,100/100,000).

Seeing that Hua Jianmu wasn’t able to execute any new moves and all his moves were from low-graded cultivation arts, Xuanyuan Po felt his interest fading. He started his retaliation.

Spear Rain Pearflower!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Xuanyuan Po unleashed his spear. His attacks were like a violent windstorm as thousands of pear flowers manifested.

After that, Hua Jianmu’s clothes became torn and tattered as tens of bloody wounds appeared on his body.

Boom!

Xuanyuan Po’s silver spear suddenly ignited in flames. He then tossed it out and with a resounding boom, a gigantic flame python was formed.

This flame python was seven meters long and it shot straight for Hua Jianmu.

The heatwaves flowed forth, and Hua Jianmu felt pain on his face as though it was being roasted. Even all his hair was about to be burned to crisps. He continuously dodged around, but he discovered that the flame snake was following him closely.

“Is this the power of a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art?”

Hua Jianmu’s countenance paled. However, he gritted his teeth, and his battle intent wasn’t weakened at all. “As expected, it is very powerful. However, I cannot lose.”

Bang!

Hua Jianmu suddenly halted his steps. He took a deep breath and roared loudly.

“BREAK FOR ME!”

Hua Jianmu’s swift blade slashed down. This strike resembled a shooting star arcing across the skies as it sliced the head of the snake off.

Boom!

The flame snake burst into pieces, causing sparks to fill the sky.

Hua Jianmu brandished his blade, feeling pride in his heart. He couldn’t help but glance at Han Xi who was below the stage. “Teacher, did you see my performance?”

But at this moment, those sparks suddenly exploded.

Explode!

Xuanyuan Po’s ultimate skill wasn’t so simple.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sparks exploded, forming many fist-sized fireballs. The destructive might of a single fireball wasn’t that great, but with so many together, this destructive force wasn’t something one could belittle.

For a time, Hua Jianmu was hit by so many fireballs that he staggered left and right. His entire body was riddled with wounds. Despite him trying to dodge, it was useless as the fireballs were too many.

“How miserable!”

“That move is so impressive, does anyone know what it is called?”

“I think it’s the Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique. It’s a peerless saint-tier cultivation art!”

The audience discussed. There were even some who flipped through the information reports to search for an introduction of Xuanyuan Po. After all, his cultivation art wasn’t a secret.

“Jianmu!”

Han Xi was badly frightened. She could no longer care for Hua Jianmu’s feelings. “Just forfeit!”

If he continued fighting, his injuries would only worsen.

“Teacher, don’t worry, the might of his ultimate attack isn’t as strong as I imagined!”

Hua Jianmu, who had a dust-covered face, grinned. “I can still hold on!”

Xuanyuan Po frowned.

“Oi, why don’t you know how to appreciate kindness? If my junior martial brother Xuanyuan took the initiative and continued attacking after his ultimate attack, you would have already lost. He didn’t move because he wanted to give you a chance to admit defeat.”

Lu Zhiruo shouted, feeling that Hua Jianmu was too much of a braggart.

There was no mistake with her words. After Xuanyuan Po unleashed his moves, he stopped and waited for Hua Jianmu to concede. He loved fighting, but he wasn’t fond of killing people or humiliating people for joy.

It was a pity that Hua Jianmu didn’t appreciate the kindness.

“The battle hasn’t ended, don’t talk blindly about victory and defeat!”

Hua Jianmu took a deep breath and started to adjust the entirety of spirit qi in his body, preparing to go all out with his life on the line. He knew that the longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous things would be for him. Hence, he had to win quickly.

“Jianmu!”

Seeing her student’s appearance, Han Xi no longer knew how to persuade him. In her heart, she felt a deep sense of self-reproach.

If she had top-graded cultivation arts, he wouldn’t be forced to be so passive in this match.

“Main examiner, are you not stopping this match?”

Sun Mo frowned and asked Tong Yiming. Hua Jianmu was clearly putting his life on the line.

“Teacher Sun, I understand your worry, but student Hua Jianmu doesn’t have any heavy injuries and is full of vigor. Maybe, he would be able to reverse the situation and gain victory from defeat.”

Tong Yiming was also very helpless because it was hard to determine the victor based on the current situation.

“Xuanyuan, don’t show mercy!”

Seeing Hua Jianmu’s attitude that showed his determination, Sun Mo turned and reminded Xuanyuan Po. If Xuanyuan Po showed mercy and got injured instead, the gains wouldn’t make up for the losses.

Actually, Han Xi had the intention to persuade Hua Jianmu to stop. But after hearing Sun Mo’s words, she frowned in unhappiness. (What do you mean by this?)

(Do you feel that you will definitely win against us for sure?)

After that, Han Xi decided not to say anything. (Even if we can’t win, we will make sure to give you a ruthless bite so you can remember how fierce we are.) This is Han Xi’s way of conducting herself.

As his spirit qi circulated around his body with full force, Hua Jianmu suddenly sensed a vast energy suddenly being formed in his Dantian. After that, the energy sprayed forth like a geyser and rushed toward his head and four limbs.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Hua Jianmu’s heart suddenly pounded intensely. His six senses became sharper; he could even sense spirit qi particles in the air.

“Could it be that my cultivation level increased due to me facing huge pressure?”

Hua Jianmu felt joy in his heart. After that, when he looked at Xuanyuan Po, his gaze gradually turned to one of excitement. (Very good, let the pressure squeeze out all my potential. I can win this fight!)

BOOM!

Spirit qi gushed forth from Hua Jianmu’s body. Because it was too intense, one could only see a cloud of spirit qi enveloping him.

Xuanyuan Po had his own pride, hence, he didn’t seize the initiative to attack. Rather, he was waiting for Hua Jianmu to unleash his attack.

Yao Guang, who was in disguise and was mingled among the crowd, lost her interest the moment she glanced at Hua Jianmu. She surveyed Xuanyuan Po instead, feeling that something was wrong with this fellow.

“Xuanyuan Po, you won’t have the chance even if you want to forfeit now.”

After Hua Jianmu finished speaking, he suddenly moved. His entire person vanished from the stage.

“Where is he?”

Many people were shocked. Their eyes were wide open as they stared around wildly. Only great teachers with good judgment could see that because Hua Jianmu’s speed was so quick, he didn’t even leave behind an afterimage when he moved.

Willow Cut, Second Month Falls!

Woosh~

In that instant, Hua Jianmu transformed into the wind that blew away the winter, welcoming the spring!

In fact, even tender shoots of budding greens appeared on the floor of the stage.

“Jianmu!”

Han Xi’s heart was clenched with worry. As for some of the major characters who were spectating, they stood up in interest. Those tender shoots were formed by spirit qi, indicating that the move Hua Jianmu executed had reached perfection and had no flaws.

Woosh~

Xuanyuan Po wasn’t scared at all. He charged in valiantly and leaped into the air. After that, he descended rapidly, smashing his weapon at Hua Jianmu.

Azure Firefall!

Boom!

As Xuanyuan Po landed, a ball of flames erupted forth in all directions, akin to a tsunami. The heatwaves caused the examinees in the surroundings to subconsciously retreat.

After Hua Jianmu and Xuanyuan Po had an exchange of their ultimate skills, they each brandished their fists and smashed them toward the face of their opponent.

Bang! Bang!

The two of them were flung backward from the impact.

Xuanyuan Po flicked his wrist. His silver spear pierced downward, impaling the stage in a bid to stop his momentum. As for Hua Jianmu, he also thought of dragging his swift blade across the floor, slowing himself down. However, he suddenly discovered that he couldn’t even move a finger.

“Jianmu!”

At the instant before Hua Jianmu flew out of the stage and landed on the ground, Han Xi rushed over and caught him.

Hua Jianmu revealed a bitter smile. He wanted to say that he had still lost and had let her down. But to his horror, he discovered that he couldn’t control his mouth. Also, there was a fishy-smelling liquid flowing out.

What was that?

Was that fresh blood?

Hua Jianmu wanted to take a look, but his neck couldn’t move. In fact, he wasn’t even able to rotate his eyeballs.

“Eh? What is Teacher saying? Why can’t I hear anything?”

Hua Jianmu could see his teacher crying and howling. He wanted to tell his teacher not to worry because his injuries weren’t serious. After he recovered, he would definitely win when he fought against Xuanyuan Po again.

However, why wasn’t he able to say anything?

All of a sudden, Hua Jianmu teared up because he understood what was happening to him.

Boohoohoo!

(Teacher, I’m not afraid of death, but I don’t want to leave you!)

Hua Jianmu wanted to lift his hands to grab HanXi’s, but he couldn’t exert any force at all.

(You are so poor...Let alone peak-grade cultivation arts, you don’t even have a good weapon. Who would be willing to be your personal student? Hence, I cannot die. If I died, your last student would disappear.)

Hua Jianmu struggled and was reluctant. Sadly, sometimes, one was simply so helpless before the machinations of fate!
