Chapter 1060 - Boss Sun

Translator: Lordbluefire

Lu Zhiruo didn’t like killing, but she understood that bad people mustn’t be spared.

Lu Xiong might have the Myriad Beasts Cube, but he didn’t know how to use it. However, when the cube was in Lu Zhiruo’s hands, she didn’t even need to rub it and had instantly understood how to use it.

When she used her heart to listen, she could hear the cries of those ancient spirit beasts. If she wished to summon one, she could simply use her consciousness to communicate with them. After that, their appearances would appear on the metallic surface of the cube.

Upon infusing spirit qi, the beast cube would be able to ‘move’, and when these small cubes with ‘shape’ were completely assembled, the ancient spirit beast would be summoned and materialized.

BOOM!

A multi-colored light shot into the sky, so blinding that people couldn’t open their eyes. When the light vanished, the surrounding spectators saw a tusk war elephant appearing before them.

Ao!

The war elephant’s trunk was lifted as it howled. After that, it charged toward Lu Xiong.

The Undying Old Man wished to see the war elephant’s might. Hence, he removed the spirit pressure.

Lu Xiong felt his body lightened and immediately lunged toward Lu Zhiruo. At the same time, the ancient giant ape waved the stone pillar and smashed it toward the war elephant.

He would definitely not be able to escape. Hence, he wanted a hostage.

Bang!

The war elephant’s trunk was like a long whip lashing on the stone pillar. After pushing it aside, the trunk swung toward the ape’s head.

Its tusk was like the spear of a warrior, ruthlessly piercing into the ape. The elephant then jerked its head and used the giant ape like a spear, tossing it at Lu Xiong.

Lu Xiong rushed forward and arrived before Lu Zhiruo. When he was about to attack, the second spirit battle pet had been successfully summoned by the papaya girl.

Ji!

Amidst the clear cries of a bird, an ancient immortal phoenix shining with a multi-colored glow dashed out. The moment it opened its mouth, lightning blasted out.

Kacha! Kacha!

The blue-colored lightning was in the shape of a tree fork, extending forward.

Lu Xiong’s reaction was extremely fast. He directly leaped upward, but the range of the lightning was truly too vast.

Lu Xiong who was being electrocuted didn’t die immediately and only felt his body turning numb. This was because Lu Zhiruo was too weak and had no way to unleash the full power of the secret treasure.

“It’s over!”

Lu Xiong no longer felt that he could win. He knew he also didn’t have a chance to run.

Without realizing it, a spirit wolf had appeared behind him and bit the back of his neck.

“What a powerful secret treasure!”

The Undying Old Man was shocked. He felt like having it.

Although he didn’t know the art of spiritual control, it didn’t matter to collectors like him. It was all good as long as he possessed it.

“She is very compatible with this secret treasure.”

Bai Wenzhang praised.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although the secret treasure was powerful, Bai Wenzhang had no thoughts of taking it back. From his point of view, secret treasures ought to be given to people suitable for them. Only then would the secret treasures be able to display their greatest value.

Xiao Feng, who rushed over after hearing the news, felt his heart shattering when he saw this scene.

(Teacher, can you not be such a wastrel!? You should leave some treasures for me! Wait a minute, I’m already going to lose the manor, why should I care about a secret treasure?)

Xiao Feng stared at Sun Mo. If there was a way to kill without allowing others to notice, he would have done it.

“I clearly thought it was my miraculous encounter, but why did I feel that I made a mistake?”

Lu Xiong wanted to cry as he was torn apart. Rather than saying it was Lu Zhiruo who killed him, it was more accurate to say that he had no desire to fight as he was frightened to death by the two major characters present, Bai Wenzhang and the Undying Old Man.

With this type of darkness hegemons watching them, who could win?

“Teacher Sun, my operation will depend on you.”

The Undying Old Man smiled and bowed slightly.

“Give me three days to read up on your information. After that, you can choose the operation time.”

Sun Mo felt no pressure.

The difficulty of this operation wasn’t as high as the Eternal Spirit Rune’s operation. Moreover, Bai Wenzhang had the treatment plan already.

Sun Mo could just follow the instructions.

Simply speaking, he was just a tool.

When the Undying Old Man saw Bai Wenzhang acting like a lackey, following behind Sun Mo after Sun Mo walked away, he was momentarily speechless. He then hurriedly called out.

“Brother Bai, please wait!”

The Undying Old Man still felt uneasy and wanted to explain in detail.

“You can be 120% assured if Sun Mo is the one in charge!”

Bai Wenzhang consoled him.

However, in order to give Sun Mo a chance to grab onto this super huge thigh, Bai Wenzhang still halted his steps.

“Can Cui Shun`en do the operation?”

The Undying Old Man asked in a low voice. No matter how lousy Cui Shun`en was, he was still at the ancestor level.

“He can!”

Bai Wenzhang cast a glance at the Undying Old Man. “However, no matter how high his skill is, he would at most be able to score 100 marks. But if you let Sun Mo be the main operator, he might achieve 120 or even 150 marks.”

The Undying Old Man fell silent.

He understood what Bai Wenzhang meant. If he himself was a test paper, Cai Shun`en could only score 100 marks out of 100 marks. As for Sun Mo, there were boundless possibilities.

“Let me say a sentence you might not be fond of hearing. Although you are a darkness hegemon and your status is lofty, capable of being picky...if you cause Sun Mo to be annoyed, he will reject you.”

Bai Wenzhang sincerely spoke.

“Sun Mo currently is still young and his fame isn’t that great yet. But if you wait a few more years, Sun Mo will be the boss of the spirit rune world in the Nine Provinces. The one and only. When you see him next time, you might even have to call him Sun-laoshi respectfully!”

(You don’t want to call him that? Don’t expect to get a spirit rune then. People with talent can always do what they want.)

“Alright then. I will hand this life of mine to Sun Mo.”

Although the Undying Old Man had the word ‘undying’ in his title, he was extremely afraid of death in reality.

The operation date was set in the morning six days later.

Sun Mo did his research on a few operation cases and after ascertaining that he was very familiar with them, he continued to learn and discuss with Bai Wenzhang while taking the opportunity to see if he could treat Bai Wenzhang’s body.

…

“Myriad Beasts Cube? What a cool name!”

Xianyu Wei took the cube from Helian Beifang’s hands and cautiously played with it.

“How many spiritual battle pets can this secret treasure summon?”

Qin Yaoguang was curious.

“Not sure, but definitely above 1,000.”

Lu Zhiruo also didn’t understand it fully.

“Wow!”

Qin Yaoguang was envious. “Quickly show it to me. Can a phoenix be summoned? How do I do it?”

After holding it, the snacking girl wanted to summon a phoenix, but she was clueless on how to do it. “Teach me quickly!”

Lu Zhiruo didn’t conceal anything and revealed the secret.

“Communicate with the voice? Why don’t I hear anything?”

Qin Yaoguang didn’t understand.

“In the words of Buddhism, it simply means that you don’t have the wisdom root!”

Tantai Yutang spoke teasingly.

“Qi!”

The snacking girl surveyed the cube carefully again before tossing it back to Lu Zhiruo. “This is great then. Zhiruo’s combat strength has improved greatly. If she participates in the personal student battle, she might be able to be ranked within the top 100.”

“Please address me as ‘second senior martial sister!”

The papaya girl puffed her chest out. (Hmph, I feel very proud now.)

“Aiya, you are just Lu Zhiruo, why are you acting so high and mighty?”

Qin Yaoguang rapped her fingers on Lu Zhiruo’s head.

“You mean I’m silly?”

Lu Zhiruo covered her head with her hands in defense and glared at the snacking girl. “Also, you are not allowed to hit my head, or I will become stupid.”

“In the personal student battle, it is not permitted to use overly powerful secret treasures, right?”

Xianyu Wei asked doubtfully.

“Naturally. However, Zhiruo is a spiritual controller and this rule doesn’t apply to her. Because if a spiritual controller uses an untamed spiritual beast in battle, they will definitely suffer a backlash.”

Tantai Yutang was very clear on the rules.

“Similarly, puppeteers can use any puppets they want too.”

Jiang Leng added.

These two were rare occupations where the weak could win against the strong.

Actually, poison masters were the same as well, but the Saint Gate didn’t state it explicitly because they wouldn’t approve a poison master’s battle results.

“I’m going to cultivate!”

Lu Zhiruo wanted to hurry up to be clear of all the Myriad Beasts Cube’s effects. Right now, she had a new target. She wanted to help her teacher rise to the 4-star ranking and become a four-time champion.

After the students dispersed, Xiao Feng walked out with a gloomy expression from the shadowy area under the corner of a wall.

“How can something so good be given to outsiders?”

Xiao Feng felt increasingly angry the more he thought about it.

“Do you feel very indignant?”

A voice suddenly echoed out in Xiao Feng’s ears.

“Who?”

Xiao Feng jumped in fright.

“I just feel that it’s unfair. How about it? Do you want me to help you?” That mysterious person teased him.

“Scram out!” Xiao Feng roared.

“Don’t be so anxious, listen to me first.”

A voice-recording stone was tossed toward Xiao Feng.

After that, the conversation of how Bai Wenzhang wanted Sun Mo to inherit the manor was leaked.

“Impossible. My teacher is unrelated to Sun Mo. It’s impossible for him to give the manor to Sun Mo.”

Xiao Feng turned pale.

“However, Sun Mo is outstanding. Nope, he is extremely outstanding.”

The mysterious person teased. “You guys who are the personal students of Dean Bai cannot even be compared to Sun Mo when all of you are added up. So, tell me who will Dean Bai choose?”

Xiao Feng fell silent.

“Cooperate with me and the manor will be yours.”

The mysterious person coaxed.

“What do you want?”

Xiao Feng wasn’t a fool. Why would someone do something that didn’t benefit them?

“I only want that skeleton hidden in the underground treasury.”

The lips of the mysterious person curled. “In any case, you guys having it will merely be a waste of a heavenly treasure. You all don’t know how to exploit it!”

“Your people know?”

Xiao Feng’s heart stirred. He had naturally seen that skeleton before.

“Those who know too much will die. I will only give you three days. If you still reject me, I will choose another person to work with.”

After the mysterious person finished speaking, he left.

Xiao Feng sank into conflict.

…

Six days passed swiftly.

In the operating theater, the Undying Old Man who just lay down stared at Sun Mo and spoke sincerely, “Great Teacher Sun, if the operation is a success and I can gain more time, I will remember your favor forever.”

The other assistants all stared at Sun Mo with envy in their gazes.

This was a favor from the Undying Old Man. It would be equivalent to them hugging a huge leg. If anyone made them unhappy, they could simply ask the huge leg to stomp on that person.

But why was Sun Mo so calm?

But then again, the dean was already his backing.

Maybe Sun Mo didn’t even care for the Undying Old Man’s favor. But a huge leg like this was extremely few in the Nine Provinces. It was always better to have more backing than none.

“Relax, I’m about to begin!”

After Sun Mo finished speaking, he used the ancient massaging technique and made the Undying Old Man fall into sleep.

“You better not try anything funny.”

The middle-aged man warned. He and his wife stood at the side and observed Sun Mo attentively. They wanted to supervise this as they were afraid Sun Mo might cause some trouble.

When Li Ziqi heard this, she felt somewhat speechless. (If my teacher wants to play a trick, can you two even understand it?)

The operation started. Two hours later, Xiao Feng rushed in urgently.

“Teacher, something major happened. Wu Li barged into the library and stole many spirit runes away. He even set the place on fire.”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt shocked in their heart.

Why did a traitor suddenly appear?
