Chapter 940: Danger Incoming

Translator: Lordbluefire

Sun Mo!

Murong Mingyue and Li Ruolan were given a fright as well. Why did he suddenly start to cough up blood for no reason?

Xuanyuan Po excelled in combat and didnt know how to save people. Hence, he thought that someone had launched a sneak attack on his teacher, and he immediately held his spear, being wary of the surroundings.

Teacher Sun, you mustnt die. I have a life-saving alchemical pill here. Take it first.

The female bootlicker Bai Xiqing was very nervous. She took out a porcelain bottle and wanted to feed the pill to Sun Mo.

As the plug was opened, a refreshing fragrance permeated the air, causing one to feel invigorated.

.

This alchemical pill was definitely of great value.

Thank you, but theres no need to be nervous. Its just that the gu-bug Teng Wanye planted in my body.

Sun Mo consoled everyone.

The seed that Teng Wanye had flicked out had hit Sun Mo in his forehead. It had turned into vines and bound onto his brain.

It would then intermittently release its poison.

The unlucky person who was planted with the gu-bug would be able to live if they could resolve it. But if they couldnt, theyd die.

Who is Teng Wanye?

Li Ruolan hadnt heard this name before. Even though she was a well-known beautiful female reporter, she didnt have any way to obtain this highly classified secret.

Its Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves.

Mei Ziyu explained.

Who? Is it that saint from the Dark Dawn?

Bai Xiqing screamed and looked at Sun Mo, stunned. How did you meet this dark magnate?

Li Ruolan had wanted to ask what the Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves looked like. But after seeing Sun Mo coughing up blood non-stop, she couldnt get herself to ask.

What should we do now?

Li Ruolan was at a loss.

You look like youve gotten food poisoning.

Mei Ziyu checked Sun Mos body. Does it feel like youve mistakenly taken the flowery mushroom?

En!

Sun Mo nodded, revealing an understanding expression. I understand a little how this seed gu-bug works now. Itll imitate the plants nearby based on their scents, creating a reaction that is similar to food poisoning. Therefore, in order to deal with it, one must possess extremely profound botany knowledge.

This was really an amazing idea and method.

Lets not worry about this.

Mei Ziyu got up. Ill go look for the antidote. You guys take care of him.

Ill be troubling you.

Sun Mo couldnt move anymore. The flowery mushroom was a poisonous mushroom that could cause internal bleeding to the stomach as well as nerves paralysis.

What was the most amazing poison?

In Sun Mos opinion, it wasnt something that was refined from 100 types of unparalleled poisonous items, but plants that already existed in the natural world. It was fine to eat them by themselves, but when mixed with other things or eaten in a large amount, one would die.

Poisonous things like these were the hardest to fend off against.

Teacher!

Ying Baiwu and Jiang Leng had returned. However, when they saw Sun Mos condition, they were both given a scare.

Im fine!

Sun Mo leaned against a tree to get some rest. Very soon, Mei Ziyu found a few medicinal herbs, made a medicinal soup on the spot, and fed it to Sun Mo.

Bai Xiqing wanted to help, but Mei Ziyu didnt give her a chance to interfere.

Other than Lu Zhiruo, the other students had all returned. All of them looked very worried. This was the Saint Ten-Thousand Leavess gu-bug. It was extremely serious.

Im a grandmaster-level botanist after all. Rest assured.

Sun Mo smiled. Ill give my ratings from now on. Tell me your battle tactic when you snatched the beehive, as well as your comprehension in this process.

We will start from Ziqi!

I didnt put in a lot of effort but mainly relied on Junior Martial Sister Yaoguang. Otherwise, I wouldnt have been able to get the beehive.

Li Ziqi gave all the credit to Qin Yaoguang.

Eldest Martial Sisters spirit runes are amazing. They burned all the bees.

Qin Yaoguang flashed a thumbs-up.

Ziqi, dont say that. Your intelligence is your greatest wealth. You should have taken the initiative to search for allies.

Sun Mo sighed. In this era, an individuals battle prowess was more valued. People like Li Ziqi who relied on their brains didnt enjoy high status.

Theres no need to feel inferior. Regardless of the method used, as long as the problem is solved and the goal is achieved, it is considered successful.

Sun Mo encouraged her.

En!

Sun Mo really treated her well.

People like her who were ranked at the bottom in terms of cultivation would definitely have no right to be the eldest martial sister under another teacher.

Yaoguang, although what you did isnt wrong, can you not be so lazy?

Sun Mo knew that this girl would be able to get a beehive even if she was by herself. She was just too lazy to put in that effort.

Hehe!

Qin Yaoguang stuck out her tongue, handing a pearflower candy to Sun Mo. Teacher Sun, eat this. Its really sweet.

Sun Mo pushed away the snack girls hand and looked toward Xuanyuan Po.

Can you use more of your brains?

Sun Mo felt helpless.

When I encounter a problem that cannot be resolved by martial prowess, then Ill consider using my brain.

Xuanyuan Po said firmly, not showing any signs of repentance.

What you mean by using your brains is actually just thinking on how to get stronger, right?

Tantai Yutang chipped in.

Thats right.

Xuanyuan Po said matter-of-factly, As long as Im strong enough, any problems wont be a problem anymore.

Xianyu, you have to work harder!

After Sun Mo said that, everyone looked toward Xianyu Wei.

What did he mean by that?

Huh?

Xianyu Wei was stunned and then she quickly waved her hand. I wont be able to win against Senior Martial Brother Xuanyuan.

Come over here. Ill help you heal your wound.

Xuanyuan Po had been stung too, but his physique was very good and there was only slight swelling. However, the same couldnt be said for Xianyu Wei. She had a few bumps on her head.

The reason why Sun Mo didnt help to treat Xuanyuan Po was because he wanted to let Xuanyuan Po remember this.

Its fine, its fine. Teacher, you arent feeling well, so you should just rest!

Xianyu Wei refused.

Sun Mo felt very consoled. His disciples were all very sensible.

Jiang Leng and Ying Baiwu had a chance to win against Xuanyuan Po, but they were definitely not the type to take on someone head-on. To the combat addict, as long as his loss wasnt a head-on fight, he didnt treat it as a loss.

This was why Sun Mo needed Xianyu Wei to rely on her iron fists and brute force to crush Xuanyuan Po. Only then would he reflect on his character.

(You might be a genius, but there are greater geniuses in this world.)

At the very least, in terms of barehanded combat as well as a competition of force, there was no way that Xuanyuan Po would win against Xianyu Wei.

Jiang Leng and Ying Baiwus performance was very good, and they had only been stung a few times. However, given how densely packed the bees were, this bit of injury could be neglected.

Tantai Yutang was next. This guy had relied on poisonous smoke and didnt get stung at all.

You can learn medicine art from Ma Zhang.

Sun Mo started to consider if he should learn the Poison Scripture and then teach it to Tantai Yutang. He knew that the sickly guy liked to study these things.

Helian Beifangs performance was mediocre. It wasnt as good as Xianyu Weis.

Xianyu Weis battle tactic was to charge on while using the Dharma Skyshock Fist to smash the bees away.

She had a great amount of spirit qi, about five times more than cultivators of the same level. And as her cultivation level increased, this multiplier would get increasingly terrifying.

Xianyu Wei doesnt need to cultivate too many cultivation arts. Instead, she should be spending her time tempering her body. Ill find some nature fruits that can strengthen her physique in the future!

Sun Mo re-established the growth direction that his students would take after the test.

Wheres Zhiruo? Where did she go?

Sun Mo frowned.

Squeak!

Hearing this, the monkey who was waiting by the side immediately jumped up. It then put down a beehive and did an act of taking off pants and squatting on the floor.

Does it mean that Senior Martial Sister Lu has gone to the washroom?

Xianyu Wei felt that this monkey was really intelligent.

Squeak squeak!

The monkey nodded. It then patted the beehive to indicate to Sun Mo that this was Lu Zhiruos spoils.

(Hmph!)

(My master must not be underestimated.)

Sun Mo frowned. Although Lu Zhiruo was silly, she wasnt this unreliable. Could something have happened to her? Just as he was thinking of letting Ying Baiwu go check things out, Lu Zhiruos voice rang out.

Teacher, Im back.

Everyone turned and was stunned. It was because the papaya girl was carrying several beehives on her shoulder and running over.

(Did you wipe out all of the Crown Bees home?)

Teach Teacher, I didnt exceed the time, did I?

Lu Zhiruo panted heavily.

Junior Martial Sister, this is

Li Ziqi was astonished. (How did you do that?) But she soon realized that these hives were damaged and there werent any more bees inside.

Teacher only said to get beehives. He didnt say that they cant be old ones!

As Lu Zhiruo said this, she lowered her head, feeling embarrassed too. She was considered to have played with words.

Your mindset is quite amazing.

Li Ruolan exclaimed in surprise.

There was definitely no danger in picking up useless and abandoned beehives.

What did you do?

Qin Yaoguang felt curious. Even though these were abandoned beehives, how could one pick them up without knowing where they were? Therefore, she was curious what this papaya senior martial sister had done.

I offered Daoji Bakerys snacks, a few alchemical pills, as well as the flowers from earlier to those bees and asked for a beehive.

Lu Zhiruo didnt hide it. After that, a few bees brought me to the place where they cast away damaged beehives.

Everyone was speechless. This could work too?

You know the bug language?

Bai Xiqing was surprised.

I dont!

Lu Zhiruo blinked, thinking to herself. (If I knew the bug language, I wouldnt have to be so anxious.)

Then how did you communicate with the bees?

Bai Xiqing asked.

By talking and gesturing with my hands.

Lu Zhiruo shared her trick. I just guess. Anyway, bugs dont have any intelligence and their actions are quite easy to guess.

Bai Xiqings lips twitched and she looked toward Sun Mo. Is this how you teach your students?

I didnt, Im innocent. Not even I can copy her way of doing things.

Sun Mo felt very helpless.

Communicate with bugs?

To speak the truth, it was quite foolish.

Hmm? Zhiruo, did you not get stung?

Li Ruolan noticed that there werent any sting wounds on Li Ruolans face at all.

Boohoohoo, of course I was stung. It hurts a lot.

As Lu Zhiruo said this, she pointed to her forehead and neck. My no-wounds record has been broken.

But everyone didnt see anything. There wasnt any redness or swelling at all. Her skin still remained fair.

Come over here!

Sun Mo beckoned with his hand.

Lu Zhiruo immediately walked over and squatted in front of Sun Mo.

Sun Mo tried touching and then felt perplexed.

Her skin felt the same as ordinary peoples, but why was there no redness and swelling?

Amongst his students, Xuanyuan Pos skin was the thickest. His sting wounds were the lightest, but there were still hints of redness and swelling.

He couldnt understand.

If it was really a matter of aptitude, then why would Lu Zhiruo have an extremely low aptitude?

Teach Teacher, although these are battered ones, I can use quantity to make up for quality, right?

Lu Zhiruo didnt mind winning or losing. She just didnt want to disappoint her teacher.

En, you did very well!

Sun Mo praised.

Hehe!

Lu Zhiruo felt happy. She then threw a proud glance at the monkey. Did you see that? I can win even without your help.

Ptui!

The monkey spat a mouthful of saliva and then kicked the beehive it had stolen.

Teacher Sun, your personal disciples are really outstanding!

Bai Xiqing sighed and then returned to her group.

Teacher Ji, this is how it is. Should we let the students give it a try?

Bai Xiqing asked.

Ji Kun looked toward the students.

Everyones expression looked a little uneasy.

To speak the truth, they didnt have any confidence.

Sigh!

Ji Kun suddenly felt very disappointed. Putting strength aside, their students had lost out a lot in terms of guts compared to those from the Central Province Academy.

Lets go!

Ji Kun couldnt stand staying here anymore.

However, before the group left, Zou Qis group arrived and met them head-on.

Teacher Zou.

Ji Kun cupped his fists together and greeted Zou Qi. They knew each other.

However, Zou Qi looked very cold, his gaze sweeping through these people.

Teacher Ji, there seems to be some problems.

A male great teacher frowned. Why are their expressions all so stiff, like dead people?

Central Province Academys Sun Mo is over there!

Ji Kun noticed it as well and added. The reason he said this was to let the Bozi Academy have some wariness and not attack recklessly. It was a pity that it wasnt successful.

Kill them!

Zou Qis voice was hoarse and low, sounding like it was made from a rotting coffin.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The controlled teachers and students pounced over.

Retaliate!

Ji Kun drew his sword and bellowed, Teacher Zou, do you really think that our Virtuous Academy is a pushover?

The two groups immediately started fighting.

In just a short moment, the Virtuous Academy suffered casualties and was suppressed. It was because Zou Qis group was controlled and didnt know pain nor dear death. Theyd only abide by Lu Cangqiongs orders to take action.

It could be said that they had been controlled by those bugs and become puppets.

Ah! Ah!

Agonizing cries rang out.

Teacher Bai, Ill hold them back. Bring the students to look for Sun Mo.

Ji Kun bellowed out while attacking Zou Qi.

Zou Qi stopped Ji Kun and slapped out an attack, smashing the head of a student at the side.

Killing without even batting an eyelid.

Follow me!

Bai Xiqing didnt dare to hesitate.

Sun Mos group also heard fighting sounds.

Whats going on?

Everyone stood up and looked over. They then saw Bai Xiqing bringing their group over.

Teacher Sun, Bozi Academys Zou Qi has gone crazy! Hes leading his group to massacre us!

Bai Xiqing cried out, There must be a problem.

The Saint Gates regulation was that great teachers must not make a move against students. However, Zou Qi had broken the rule. This meant that there was a big problem here.

Ziyu, Mingyue, bring the students and leave first! Ill go take a look!

Sun Mo instructed while darting out.

Be careful!

Mei Ziyu immediately urged everyone to set off.

Ill go with you!

Bai Xiqing left the students to the other teachers.

Sun Mo quickly arrived at the battlefield. The great teachers from both sides were still fighting it out, but Ji Kuns group was showing signs of defeat.

It was Sun Mo!

At the sight of his target, Zou Qi immediately cast Ji Kun aside, wanting to kill him.

Scram back here.

Ji Kun bellowed, his eyes red. His student had died, so he was going to let Zou Qi pay the price for that.

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and his countenance changed drastically.
