Chapter 57 (1/2)
There was no sound around except for the summer breeze.
Zhang Sheng’s facial expression turned from hopeful to stunned. She could’ve just continued talking in her dreams, must she have shouted ‘teacher’?
It was ridiculous! It got him excited for nothing.
Zhang Sheng stared at Lu Zhiruo while dragging his footsteps down the stairs, but until the end, she didn’t have any intention of acknowledging him as her master.
“Humph! One day, even if you were to acknowledge me as your master, I will not agree to it!”
Zhang Sheng cursed.
(I must also recruit a female student with bigger breasts than this papaya girl!)
…
Sun Mo went out and saw Lu Zhiruo sleeping. Her saliva was almost flowing out.
“Cough cough!”
Sun Mo coughed and pinned the wooden blade on his left waist.
When Lu Zhiruo heard the sounds, she jumped up immediately with a bow and greeted, “Teacher, good morning!”
“Ok.” Sun Mo nodded his head. “Let’s go and eat!”
Hence, Sun Mo walked in front with Lu Zhirou tagging behind like a big-breasted little tail. They headed toward the canteen.
Their usual breakfast consisted of porridge, egg chives buns, as well as a small plate of salted vegetables. Lu Zhiruo’s meal was more sumptuous as it had two more eggs.
Lu Zhiruo peeled off the eggshells and passed it to Sun Mo first.
“I bought it for you.”
Sun Mo didn’t eat.
“Burp!”
Lu Zhiruo was very obedient compared to Li Ziqi, who would have started a bout of argument. This papaya girl would lower her head while eating and was always following Sun Mo’s instructions.
Sun Mo checked for a bit. The lucky treasure chests that he would get every midnight were lying inside the black-colored storage cabinet quietly. He planned to open them all once the number reached 18, an auspicious number.
Ding!
“Congratulations! You have won your first match against another teacher. You achieved an accomplishment ‘defeated a teacher for the first time’, and the prize is one golden treasure chest.”
System’s notification sound rang abruptly.
Sun Mo extended his hand. Touching Lu Zhiruo’s head, he spoke calmly,
“Open it!”
Sun Mo’s tone had no sense of urgency, as though he was a veteran who had passed the flower bushes countless times. Those black fungi had no way of raising his excitement anymore.
“This is a golden treasure chest, why aren’t you excited?”
The system was curious.
“Can the excitement increase my chance of getting a peak-grade item?” Sun Mo replied.
“It can’t!”
The system felt that Sun Mo was thinking too much.
“Then why should I be excited?”
Sun Mo took a small sip, enjoying the porridge’s nice temperature. Then, he ate some salted vegetables to enhance the great taste, how yummy!
The system was silent, having not meant it that way. But Sun Mo’s words seemed to make sense, it couldn’t even retaliate!
“Stop dilly-dallying, open the box!”
Sun Mo was worried that if they continued talking, the luck he had received from the papaya girl’s body would disappear.
The treasure chest disappeared and a ray of golden light burst in the air, leaving behind a piece of stone tablet that was shaped like a mahjong tile but bigger. It was illuminating rays of bronze-colored light.
On the stone tablet, there were carvings of totems that could not be understood by humans, giving off a mysterious vibe.
“Congratulations, you have received ‘time emblem’. After using it, one of your skills will seem to have endured ten years of cultivation. The proficiency index will be increased by one grade.”
Sun Mo’s eyes brightened after reading the introduction, so he decided to add an egg to his porridge.
This must be some good item, probably costing a thousand favorable impression points if sold at the shopping store.
“Which skill should I use it on?”
Sun Mo did a self-examination. Currently, the cultivation arts he knew were Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, which he had just begun practicing, and Immemorial Vairocana, proficiency index: elementary.
The rest were grandmaster-grade Divine Sight, expert-grade Circulation Technique, and grandmaster-grade Muscleforge Technique.
He also had three great teacher halos, namely ‘Priceless Advice’, ‘Ignorant and Incompetent’, as well as an exclusive ‘Soul Imprint’. They were all of elementary grade.
“Host, what do you think?”
The system asked.
“If you have a brain, you will know how to choose!”
Sun Mo replied ruthlessly.
The system became silent instantly, too angry to talk.
Divine Sight, Circulation Technique, Muscleforge Technique, they were all of sufficient usage.
‘Priceless Advice’ as well as ‘Ignorant and Incompetent’, both had great effects. Although he had never used ‘Soul Imprint’ before, he knew it wouldn’t be too shabby.
By increasing the proficiency index, the three great teacher halos could be sustained for a longer period. Its effect would be increased and there would be a greater enveloping range. Even if he were to be formally employed into the faculty, he would only have 5 students. He should be able to make do with these halos for the time being.
As for cultivation arts, Immemorial Vairocana could copy random cultivation arts of the opponent’s, and once it was increased by another grade, it would be able to target a specific type of cultivation art.
Sun Mo decided to give up on upgrading it after a lot of consideration. Even if he was able to copy a specific type of cultivation art from his opponent, it wouldn’t be very useful. The crucial factor was because Immemorial Vairocana was exclusively owned by him, the mentioned effect had not been verified. As for Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, it was one of the best cultivation arts in this world. Numerous people had hoped to learn this cultivation art, so one could imagine just how great it was.
‘Grand Universe Formless Divine Art level 2, Invulnerable Glaze Golden Body. It would greatly increase your ability to withstand damage.’
