Chapter 1061: Teacher, I Don’t Want To Be a Human Anymore!

Bai Wenzhang’s expression sank. “Is the loss great?”
“I’m not too clear. I’ve mobilized everyone to put off the fire. However, Wu Li must have used an Ignition Spirit Rune which is why the power of the flames is so great. We are unable to control the fire.”
Xiao Feng was frantic.
“Dean, you better head there personally.”
“Yeah, we can’t delay things anymore!”
“Wu Li has to die!”
Cui Shun`en and the others all spoke at once.
Now that the library was burned, their losses were definitely astronomical. One must know that the library was the storage for the manor’s collection of several thousands of years.
Bai Wenzhang turned and left.
“Dean, if you leave, what will happen to my master?”
The middle-aged man blocked Bai Wenzhang’s path.
“Scram!”
Bai Wenzhang berated.
The middle-aged man didn’t move, so Bai Wenzhang directly sent a slap over.
“Don’t be impulsive!”
Seeing that her husband was about to act, the middle-aged woman stopped him. “If you start fighting now, the influence would be very great to our master.”
“Hmph!” The middle-aged man coldly snorted. “I will inform my master of this matter.”
“If you continue talking nonsense, I’ll just stop the operation and let him die.”
Sun Mo was unhappy. “You are so noisy. It will affect my mental state when I’m doing the operation.”
After Bai Wenzhang left, Sun Mo inhaled deeply and continued with the operation. At such a time, he had to remain calm.
…
When Bai Wenzhang arrived at the library, he saw a huge fire raging, madly devouring everything.
“Send people, we have to capture that traitor.”
Bai Wenzhang shouted. “I want him alive.”
“Roger!”
The door of the manor swung open as teams of soldiers that were originally responsible for guarding the place rode on their warhorses in pursuit of Wu Li.
“You are responsible for putting out the fire!”
After Bai Wenzhang instructed a disciple, he left and headed to the study room. After that, he opened the spirit rune mechanism and entered the underground treasury.
Although the majority of spirit runes here had been taken away by Sun Mo, the most valuable giant skeleton was still here.
Bai Wenzhang knew that it was impossible for Wu Li to unlock the spirit rune lock and enter here, but he was still worried. After all, this was the most valuable wealth of the Dragonspirit Manor.
An instant later, Bai Wenzhang saw the skeleton in the crystal cave.
Hu!
He sighed a breath of relief.
“Teacher, do you want to strengthen the defenses here?”
Xiao Feng asked yet his gaze was on the skeleton as he surveyed it attentively. He had followed Bai Wenzhang for over a decade, but he had only entered this place three times.
“There’s no need for that.”
Bai Wenzhang was at ease now. “Let’s go back. We must not miss out on watching Sun Mo’s operation.”
After hearing this, Xiao Feng started and boundless anger surged in his heart. (You actually didn’t care despite the library being burned down? Is Sun Mo’s operation so valuable?)
Bai Wenzhang sank into contemplation as he recalled Sun Mo’s techniques.
As for those burned spirit runes, they were still in his mind and he could draw them any time. Naturally, the more important ones had all been brought away by Sun Mo.
Xiao Feng stared at the back of Bai Wenzhang’s head. He hesitated for three more seconds but still chose to act.
Six Solar Divine Palm!
Hu~
A sharp gust of wind manifested as Xiao Feng aimed a palm at Bai Wenzhang’s back.
Bang!
Bai Wenzhang stumbled forward and instantly coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
“You…”
Bai Wenzhang’s expression was overwhelmed with shock. Never in his wildest dream would he imagine that his personal student would harm him.
Xiao Feng rushed forward and continued launching a series of attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bai Wenzhang suffered a few blows consecutively and fell forward. For a time, he actually wasn’t able to get up.
“Y…you poisoned me?”
Bai Wenzhang questioned. Only now did he discover that his circulation of spirit qi was very sluggish. He originally thought that it was because of his bad condition. But now, he realized that he might have been poisoned.
“Teacher, you are the one who forced me.” Xiao Feng sobbed. “I’m not wrong.”
“What did I force you to do?”
Bai Wenzhang didn’t understand.
“You want to give the manor to Sun Mo just because his talent is greater than mine and his achievements in the future will be higher than mine? But have you thought of how I have served you assiduously for 15 years? Could my effort be so cheap?”
Xiao Feng roared.
He shouted so loudly because he wanted to find an excuse for himself. After all, he wasn’t completely devoid of a conscience yet. If he didn’t find an excuse to prove that his action wasn’t a mistake, he would definitely be haunted by remorse forever.
Bai Wenzhang fell silent.
“Why? You don’t have anything to say?”
Xiao Feng sneered.
“Xiao Feng, there are some things I want to make clear to you.”
Bai Wenzhang actually calmed down and looked at Xiao Feng. “Firstly, you are an orphan, I bought you from a human trafficker and decided to accept you as a disciple and do my utmost to nurture you because you have talent. Secondly, you said that you ‘served’ me? But have you ever thought before that I have never required you to do that? On the contrary, you learned many things when you followed me. Also, given my status, do you think I will lack disciples?”
Xiao Feng froze because there were no mistakes with Bai Wenzhang’s words. Being able to follow Bai Wenzhang was actually considered an act of benevolence by Bai Wenzhang.
“Lastly, I’ve never expected you to repay me.”
Bai Wenzhang inhaled deeply and spoke in an extremely serious manner, “In my entire life, I didn’t marry and have kids. I gave my life to the study of spirit runes because I wish to see this subject being developed to its very limits.”
“You are unable to achieve it. Hence, I naturally chose Sun Mo.”
When he was betrayed by his personal student, there was an instant where Bai Wenzhang felt very disappointed and guilty. He felt that he wasn’t a good teacher because a personal student of his would actually do something like this.
But very soon, Bai Wenzhang no longer cared because there was nothing more important than spirit runes.
A person who could use their body for experiments was someone who feared nothing.
“…”
Xiao Feng was rebutted so badly that he was speechless.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
Applause rang out as a young man walked out. “Dean Bai, you are truly a man who has transcended the lowly desires of the mortal world. Impressive! Impressive!”
“Who are you?”
Bai Wenzhang frowned.
“Don’t be angry. Xiao Feng has poisoned you. The poison is named the Black Meridian Powder.”
The young man consoled him.
Bai Wenzhang’s brows furrowed. This poison was very famous. Its effect was to corrode the meridians of cultivators. So, once one consumed it, they would no longer be able to circulate their spirit qi and would slowly become completely crippled.
Because of this tyrannical effect, in addition to it being extremely hard to concoct, the Black Meridian Powder would only have demand but no supply.
“Shouldn’t you go and take a look at your gains?”
The young man teased.
Xiao Feng knew that this person was sending him away because he wanted to take that gigantic skeleton.
Actually, he didn’t want to give the skeleton away. But after considering his strength, he could only give up.
“Dean Bai, can you introduce it to me?”
The young man walked to the space underneath the gigantic crystal that held the skeleton. He discovered that it was too big and there was basically no way to shift it away.
“Even if I say it, would you understand?”
Bai Wenzhang spoke mockingly.
“Hehe, this student might not be talented, but I’m still quite learned about the ancient study of creatures.”
The young man smiled confidently.
Bai Wenzhang closed his eyes. Right now, he was completely devoid of strength. He definitely wouldn’t be able to escape.
The young man wasn’t in a hurry either. He placed his palm on the crystal and quietly sensed the aura of this giant skeleton.
Six hours later, Xiao Feng rushed in with a look of anger on his face.
“Where are the treasures? Where are they?”
Xiao Feng stared at Bai Wenzhang. “Why is the treasury empty?”
“You spent six hours to open the spirit rune lock here. Truly impressive. Sadly, the disparity between you and Sun Mo is too great.”
Bai Wenzhang sighed. “Do you know that he only required less than five minutes to open the lock?”
When he said this, Bai Wenzhang felt very disappointed.
(If you are more talented, how would I have chosen to give this manor to Sun Mo?)
“Preposterous!”
Even at such a time, he was still being held in disdain. Xiao Feng almost erupted from anger. His fury surged as he aimed a punch at Bai Wenzhang.
“Teacher, I don’t want to be a human anymore.”
(With this punch, I’m going to become a dark great teacher. There’s no need to speak about ethics and morality. I will only live for benefits and opportunities that can make me stronger.)
But just when Xiao Feng’s fist arrived before Bai Wenzhang’s face, a beam of light shot over.
Si~
The beam of light penetrated Xiao Feng’s wrist.
“Sun Mo?”
Xiao Feng’s eyes widened in anger, growing red because of jealousy.
Bzz!
Xiao Feng’s palms glowed with golden light. He blasted them forth akin to golden oceanic waves.
Six Solar Toppling the Sea.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sun Mo didn’t evade and received the attacks head-on.
Invincible Buddha Fist! Dharma Shocking the Sky!
Sun Mo’s aura instantly became dignified and solemn. Not only was he punching out, but there was also a large amount of spirit qi flowing from him, manifesting a gigantic buddha statue behind him. Amidst the sound of buddhic chants, the buddha statue also sent out a palm strike at Xiao Feng.
Bang!
The earth trembled.
Xiao Feng evaded the attack, but he was so frightened that he had turned pale. Sun Mo was so powerful and he couldn’t win against him. Hence, he glanced at the young man.
It was a pity that the young man had completely no intentions of interfering.
“You actually dare to be distracted when fighting against my teacher?”
Li Ziqi, who was hiding behind the door, was extremely speechless when she saw this scene.
Indeed, at the next instant, Sun Mo’s heavy punch landed on Xiao Feng’s body.
BOOM!
Xiao Feng was like a cannonball being blasted outward. He slammed into a wall before falling onto the ground.
Bang!
His bones were broken.
Sun Mo had no interest in continuing to look at this salted fish. He turned his gaze to the young man instead.
“Great Teacher Sun, I’ve long since looked forward to meeting you.”
The young man clasped his fists.
“Are you always so afraid of meeting people with your real face?”
Sun Mo mocked.
The young man was curious. He touched his face. “Is there a problem with this human-skin mask?”
“Your gaze is too disgusting. I won’t forget you after I’ve seen you once.”
Sun Mo spoke.
This fellow was none other than that dark great teacher who had kidnapped Qin Yaoguang during Li Ziqi’s 1-star examination. He even kept addressing him as ‘junior martial brother’.
“Yo, seems like Great Teacher Sun always has me on his mind!”
Lu Feng smiled. “It seems that we have to start the greeting anew. Junior martial brother Sun, long time no see. This elder brother has missed you!”
“Teacher Sun, this…”
Bai Wenzhang didn’t understand.
“I don’t know him.” Sun Mo rushed toward Bai Wenzhang and checked his pulse. “You are poisoned, it should be the Black Meridian Powder.”
“Eh? Are you also proficient in the study of poison?”
Lu Feng was astonished.
“I naturally know many things.”
Sun Mo coldly snorted. “Dean, don’t worry. If others were to be poisoned by this powder, they would become cripples for sure. But you will be fine because my Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands can dispel it.”
“Ignore me, kill him first!”
Bai Wenzhang urged. “The secret of the giant skeleton cannot be known to outsiders!”
“Right!”
Sun Mo lunged toward Lu Feng.
Lu Feng grinned and punched out at the crystal enveloping the giant skeleton.
“Junior brother, today shall be the date of your death!”
