Chapter 878: Free Gift
It was completely empty in the tent, but Wanyan Zhenghe was still unwilling.
“Where’s everyone? Are all of them dead?”
His entire body was shaking as though he was suffering from Parkinson Disease.
As the little prince of the Jin Country, in his 16 years of life, Wanyan Zhenghe always had a smooth journey. Moreover, he had outstanding talent and his royal father was deeply fond of him, doting on him a lot.
Let alone a man like the Jin King who had so much authority, even someone from an ordinary family would want to dote on their kids if they were adorable. Even if their kids made trouble, they wouldn’t punish the kid too severely. At most, they would compensate for the damage.
Wanyan Zhenghe had lived a very smooth life with no obstacles and was used to great teachers greeting him with smiles. Now that he suddenly encountered a fellow that was afraid of nothing, it simply caused him to be so angry that he wanted to cough up blood.
But that fellow was extremely capable!
He couldn’t do anything to Sun Mo at all!
“Why don’t you just concede?”
The little prince who had never suffered a disadvantage before immediately flared up when he heard this. He wanted to mess with Sun Mo no matter what.
(Just like what my royal father has said. For people I cannot use, even if they are incomparably talented, they have to be killed.)
Wanyan Zhenghe felt secure thinking that Sun Mo was someone from the Central Plains. If not, he would have long since given up.
“Little prince, have you seen enough?”
Sun Mo’s voice drifted in from outside, causing Wanyan Zhenghe to instantly blush.
This was stark-naked humiliation.
“Teacher, how did you manage to do it?”
After the shock, all the girls crowded around and asked sweetly.
In this world, how could there not be girls who loved to be beautiful?
Right now, the gazes of the girls were filled with passionate fire as they looked at Sun Mo. They wanted to possess him.
“Teacher, can you modify the appearances of guys too?”
After a male student spoke, he immediately saw gazes from all the students in the surroundings turning to him. This caused him to feel ashamed and awkward.
After all, it would be deemed as effeminate if a guy loved to make himself look more beautiful.
Just when he wanted to explain, many questions were blasted out.
“Teacher, can you help me to look more handsome?”
“Teacher, please take pity on me. I’m so ugly and definitely won’t be able to get a wife in the future.”
“Teacher, help me do facial surgery too!”
The guys wailed and their number was comparable to girls.
Sun Mo instantly became extremely high in demand.
Although they found it hard to believe, it was basically impossible to hide another person in such a small tent. Also, although Wuzhuli’s looks had changed, her figure and clothes remained the same, and her current face resembled her face from earlier.
“Silence!”
Sun Mo berated them and Profound Words were activated.
Swish~
All the people fell silent.
“Do you guys treat my words as nothing? I said that I wouldn’t casually do facial surgeries for people. For things like looks, they would decline with age. But talent is different. The more accumulations you had, the longer your glory would last.”
Sun Mo berated them as his sharp gaze swept past the crowd. “Moreover, you guys are cultivators. The earlier you guys step into the Longevity Realm, the earlier you can maintain your youth. This is the correct path you guys should take.”
As Sun Mo’s voice rang out, the students hurriedly lowered their heads in a bow.
“Many thanks for Teacher’s guidance. We have remembered it!”
Ding!
Congratulations on obtaining +15,120 favorable impression points.
“If there’s nothing more, please disperse.”
Sun Mo looked at the notification. Wuzhuli alone had contributed 10,000 points.
He had profited a lot from this wave!
Wanyan Zhenghe had a gloomy look on his face. He came out of the tent and shot a glance at Sang Ge.
Sang Ge understood. After that, he turned his head to find Na Muqi, but he discovered that she was gone.
“What the hell?”
Sang Ge glanced around a few times before he saw Na Muqi with a group of girls that surrounded Sun Mo. They were asking about how Sun Mo made Wuzhuli become beautiful.
“...”
Sang Ge was speechless. (Do you know that he is our enemy?)
He was worried Sun Mo might notice something wrong if he went over. Hence, he shot a look at Na Muqi.
“Why are you in a daze? Quickly go and ask!”
Sang Ge’s gaze was ferocious and forceful.
Na Muqi didn’t want to do so, but her father was a minor official serving the Jin Country, and once the little prince made things difficult for him, his future would be over and he wouldn’t have a way to feed the family...
“I’ll go I guess.”
Na Muqi sighed. Since she was living off the little prince, she had no choice but to lower her head.
Upon thinking of this, Na Muqi forcefully pushed the crowd aside and walked toward Sun Mo before kneeling with a thud.
“Teacher Sun, my cultivation base has halted since half a year ago and I’m suffering from nightmares every night. I feel so much pain that I would rather die. I hope Teacher can give me some guidance.”
Na Muqi’s expression was sincere as she kowtowed and greeted.
“Do you know what the word ‘queue’ means?”
“Go and queue up, it’s not your turn yet!”
“Damn, who touched my ass?!”
The students grumbled, feeling resentful that Na Muqi cut the queue. But after she removed her veil, the surrounding students instantly sank into silence.
Her countenance was waxy yellow and she was very skinny. Her complexion resembled cured meat that was dried by the wind. However, her eyes were swollen. All in all, she looked like a malicious ghost.
Swish~
The surrounding students directly took a few steps back as her ghastly appearance was simply too frightening.
“Do you have a personal teacher?”
Sun Mo asked as he activated Divine Sight.
Her various states were mediocre when compared to the students around. However, her willpower wasn’t bad.
This was a girl who knew hard work.
“No!”
Na Muqi shook her head.
“What sort of view do you have regarding your current situation?”
Sun Mo asked again.
Helping students wasn’t simply resolving their problems. The teachers had to let the students absorb experiences and comprehend things themselves so they wouldn’t fall back into the same hole again.
“I...I feel that I might have failed my spiritual summoning and suffered a backlash.”
Na Muqi analyzed.
The art of spiritual control was too mysterious and profound. Moreover, its prerequisite of talent was very high. Hence, even in the Nine Greats, the number of grandmaster spiritual controllers was the least when compared to other professions.
Na Muqi’s talent was ordinary, and she couldn’t find a great teacher that was willing to teach her. Hence, she could only probe things herself and this led to a tragedy.
“Your deduction is right. You are suffering from a spiritual backlash.”
Sun Mo got Na Muqi to stand up. “Why did you choose this subject? Did a great teacher recommend it?”
Na Muqi shook her head.
“I understand. You are very intelligent.”
Sun Mo guessed the reason. When Na Muqi had first entered the school, she showed quite a good result during the talent testing. But two years later, her growth was ordinary.
If this continued, even if she wasn’t expelled, her future achievements would be limited. Hence, she chose to cultivate the art of spiritual control. After all, fewer people majored in that subject, and the competition would be lighter as well.
Although this thinking was good, Na Muqi completely had no talent in this subject. Moreover, she was probing its mysteries alone, and this was why something bad happened.
“Do you guys know what is the most dangerous out of all subjects?”
Sun Mo gazed at the surroundings.
“Definitely, the study of poison!”
The students spoke in unison. From their point of view, if one interacted frequently with poison, one might just die once they were careless.
“Wrong, it’s the art of spiritual control!”
Sun Mo explained, “Even grandmaster spiritual controllers wouldn’t dare to guarantee that they could succeed in their summons every single time. As your cultivation base improves, the spiritual beast you are summoning will grow increasingly stronger.
“You have to remember that all types of spiritual beasts wouldn’t want to be enslaved by humans. Hence, even if the casting of the spiritual incantation is perfect, there’s still a 20% chance of failure.
“This is also the reason why there are so few spiritual controllers. Half of a spiritual controller’s combat strength comes from their spiritual beasts. Just think of how difficult it must be to establish a contract with a spiritual beast with the combat strength of the Longevity Realm?
“Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that there are many types of spiritual beasts that come in different forms. If you guys don’t understand their habits, you’ll risk your lives.
“Hence, please do not ever try to learn the spiritual controlling techniques alone.”
Sun Mo sincerely warned.
Although he was a grandmaster spiritual controller, he never dared to recklessly summon a spiritual beast. Even when testing out spiritual incantations, he would use commonly seen bugs that posed no danger.
As a result, even if he suffered a backlash, the damage wouldn’t be great.
And the reason why spiritual divine languages were so coveted was because the incantations were very powerful and could reduce the risk of suffering a backlash to the lowest.
“Does Teacher Sun also know the art of spiritual control?”
Some students were curious.
After all, the news of Sun Mo teaching spiritual control techniques to Xiao Ri`nan hadn’t been circulated around yet.
“Teacher, can you cure her?”
Sang Ge shouted out among the crowd.
Everyone was also curious and waiting quietly.
“From what I know, you seemed to suffer from the backlash roughly seven months ago. From then on, how many and what spiritual incantations did you use?”
Sun Mo wanted to try and figure out something with the help of a clue.
Na Muqi was in the midst of recalling.
“Five!”
After that, she planned to reveal the incantations.
“You don’t have to say it. Just tell me which one you used at midnight. Also, you have used that spiritual incantation before.”
Sun Mo continued to ask.
“It’s the Departed Spirit Summoning Incantation!”
It was an incantation that could summon the departed spirit of a ferocious beast. Because spiritual beasts were spiritual bodies, they had a very strong immunity toward normal attacks. They could often jump levels and kill their enemies.
Na Muqi had wanted to depend on this to display her brilliance in the Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony.
But after speaking, Na Muqi furrowed her brows.
“But I didn’t think I failed to cast it.”
As Namu Qi spoke, she swiftly performed hand seals. In the end, she bit her finger and drew a line across her palm.
Bang!
A ball of white-colored spirit qi appeared. When it vanished, a semi-transparent hungry wolf appeared beside her.
Wow!
The students exclaimed in shock. This hungry wolf’s body was surrounded by a black mist, and its green eyes were shining brightly with spirit light. It looked rare and mysterious.
“Haha, Teacher Sun, who told you to act arrogant and assumed that she has failed?”
Sang Ge mocked.
“If you continue talking nonsense, this daddy will beat you up.”
“Can you just keep quiet and listen to Teacher Sun’s explanation?”
“Scram!”
The students glared at him.
“A backlash doesn’t necessarily mean that the spiritual beast has departed. You coughed out blood and it might follow you because it takes you as ‘food’. It would only leave after it finished eating you.”
Sun Mo explained.
“F...food?”
Na Muqi had originally felt proud because she succeeded in summoning the spiritual hungry wolf. But after hearing this, she shivered. So, the reason why the wolf stayed behind was because it wanted to devour her?
Among the crowd, a middle-aged great teacher who came to watch the show suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard Sun Mo’s words. He involuntarily surveyed Sun Mo.
(This Sun Mo truly does live up to his reputation.)
“You should try dispelling the contract.”
Sun Mo instructed.
Na Muqi immediately did so. At such a time, in order to live, she was willing to try everything. But after a few minutes, she discovered that she had no way to dispel the contract.
Instantly, Na Muqi’s body was drenched with sweat. She also started to tremble incessantly.
This indicated that the contract between her and the wolf was not concluded. So, she had no binding power over the wolf. If it wanted to kill her, it could do so by flipping a palm.
