Chapter 1169: Honorary Headmaster, Black-White Soldier Chapter!

Translator: Lordbluefire

There were no impermeable walls in the world. Moreover, Song Yan didn’t hide his desire to have Sun Mo become the next headmaster of the Black-White Academy, so only two days had passed before everyone learned of this news.

In the eyes of 1,000 people, there were 1,000 Hamlets.

Even noblemen, who had great achievements in history, wouldn’t be praised by everyone. In fact, they would be frequently smeared by haters.

Sun Mo was a 4-stars. This was merely a minor achievement and naturally had no way to gain their approval. Hence, the teachers and students decided to ally and gather below the office to plead with Headmaster Song, wanting him to take back his order.

Among them, some came from the conservative faction.

In any case, such an esteemed and honorable position definitely couldn’t be given to an outsider.

In the headmaster office…

Sun Mo stared at the people quietly sitting down below through the window and felt somewhat helpless.

“Headmaster, why must you create trouble for yourself?”

Sun Mo sighed.

“Don’t you want to join us?”

Although Song Yan had guessed at the possibility of being rejected, after personally hearing it, he was still quite hurt.

This indicated that the school he built up wasn’t good enough and had no way to attract such a genius.

“Each school has its own style. Do you feel that my style matches that of the Black-White Academy?”

Sun Mo counter-asked.

“You can build it the way you want to!”

Song Yan smiled.

Sun Mo started. He didn’t expect Song Yan to say something like this. This meant that Sun Mo could wipe away all the traces left behind by the previous headmasters of the Black-White Academy and paint it in his own colors.

This was already reaching an extreme in the kindness of recognizing someone’s worth.

Sun Mo bowed to thank Song Yan for his doting and love.

“Please seriously consider it?”

Song Yan pleaded. “I know that this school might not be the best, but you can make her become the best in your hands.”

“Headmaster Song, what are you pursuing?”

Sun Mo changed the topic.

“I wish to see the extreme limits of education. How much change can it bring to an empire?”

Song Yan’s voice turned heavy. “Actually, I’ve long since seen the signs that I can break the void. But as long as the Black-White Game isn’t cleared yet, my heart finds it hard to feel content. Hence, I gave up on ascending. I decided to risk my life and enter the Black-White Game.”

When Sun Mo heard this, he was filled with solemn respect.

It was said that when one reached perfection in the Saint Realm, they would be able to see a certain path that mortals couldn’t see. After that, they could choose to ascend up from that path and break the void to ascend to another place.

No one knew where those hegemons in the past went after breaking the void.

But everyone felt that for a place that required someone to cultivate to the very limits to be able to go, if it wasn’t the divine realm, it should be a place that was similar to it,

One could say that the ultimate goal of many cultivators was to break the void and ascend. They wanted to take a look at the world above this world.

Now, Song Yan had given up the opportunity for the sake of deciphering the Black-White Game. The word ‘immense’ could no longer be used to describe such a sacrifice.

In any case, if it was Sun Mo, he definitely would be reluctant to do so.

After all, in the modern world, there were tons of games he couldn’t complete. He didn’t mind it.

“But this time around, the risk paid off and allowed me to see a brand new world. It also answered some questions I long had!”

Song Yan bitterly smiled. “But it’s precisely because of it that I understand if I allow these people to become the headmaster, that would be a future with no brightness. The world in their eyes is simply too small compared to the world in yours!”

“I also have no idea what the extreme limit for education is.”

Sun Mo admitted his inadequateness.

“But if you lead the Black-White Academy, she can take fewer detours!”

Song Yan stood before the window and stared at those people protesting downstairs. “Should I feel angry when facing so many fools of the world?

“No, I shouldn’t be. Rather, I should work even harder in advancing and imparting knowledge to dispel their doubts and confusion. This is my responsibility as a saint!

“Sun Mo, you shouldn’t cast your sights on a small piece of land. Why don’t you come on up to a larger stage and display your brilliance?”

Sun Mo fell silent. One couldn’t help but say that these words were filled with immense attraction.

Which men wouldn’t want to have great achievements so their friends and families could sit up and take notice, having a whole new level of respect for them?

Many people felt that they were mediocre and had ordinary lives because they didn’t have an opportunity. But now, Sun Mo was standing before a heavenly opportunity.

Becoming the headmaster of the Black-White Academy? This starting point was considered relatively high.

“You don’t have to worry. I’ll settle these people for you!”

Song Yan’s tone turned ice cold. If some stubborn people refused to yield to Sun Mo, he didn’t mind killing people.

Sun Mo sank into contemplation.

Song Yan patiently waited.

It was only after a whole 15 minutes did Sun Mo finally speak.

“Sorry, I cannot agree to your request!” Sun Mo shook his head. “I’m afraid I cannot live up to your expectations!

“I’m just a minor character and once, my greatest dream was to buy a house in the city I lived in. After that, I simply wanted to nurture a few students who could go into prestigious universities so I could prove my capabilities.

“To the vast majority of students, I hope I can guide them so when they enter society in the future, even if they cannot live a valued life, they wouldn’t have to suffer too much.

“After that, I came to Jinling and wanted to become a saint. However, I realized that what I wanted, even more, was not to let down the trust of my disciples.”

Sun Mo recalled the scene where Li Ziqi accepted him as a personal teacher with no reluctance.

“Actually, I don’t have too deep of an understanding with regard to saints!”

Sun Mo reflected on himself.

“Haha, by saying this... I actually admire you more!”

Song Yan had admiration in his gaze as he looked at Sun Mo. “You are still not a saint yet, so how can you understand this cultivation realm? It’s like when you ascend a mountain and peer into the distance, as long as you have not reached the summit, how can you truly admire the scenery?!

“But I can wait. I can wait until you become a saint and your glory illuminates the entire Nine Provinces!”

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Song Yan +1,000. Reverence (11,000/100,000).

Sun Mo felt a headache. (The pressure is so great if you admire me so much!)

“Alright, maybe I was too anxious for quick results. After all, you are only 23 years old!”

Song Yan sighed and decided to settle for second best. “How about this? You can be the honorary headmaster of the Black-White Academy.”

This position was usually given to people who had contributed greatly to the school.

An honorary headmaster could obtain all sorts of benefits from the school. Although they couldn’t directly participate in the school’s management, they could give their opinions and they could even hire or fire some great teachers.

The higher the school’s rank, the more serious they would treat this title. The candidate they chose would also represent a part of the school’s ‘face’.

The Nine Greats had never established such a position before because there was no need to.

The headmasters of the Nine Greats were all saints, and which school in the Nine Greats didn’t have secondary saints to stabilize the fort? Also, any of their vice headmasters was more than enough to become a headmaster in other normal schools.

Sun Mo wanted to reject it. This position was too scalding, so it wouldn’t be good to sit in it.

“Sun Mo, if you even reject such a request, it will really make my heart go cold.”

Song Yan stared straight at Sun Mo.

“I...I agree!”

Sun Mo agreed. This position had no responsibility but came with many benefits. If he still refused, he would truly not be giving face to Headmaster Song.

Song Yan laughed and patted Sun Mo’s shoulder happily.

He simply wanted to form a good relationship with Sun Mo. With this relationship, when Sun Mo stood at the peak of the Nine Provinces, he would naturally show care for the students and teachers of the Black-White Academy.

That was right. Song Yan was currently hugging a thigh. He was betting on Sun Mo’s future to be boundlessly glorious.

“Oh right, I heard that you can draw a spirit rune that allows flight?”

After official matters were finished, there was naturally a need to ‘peel’ the skin of this fellow who had just received benefits.

“I will bestow ten Skyward Spirit Rune tattoos to your esteemed school. As for the candidates, you can choose them yourself.”

Sun Mo had intended to only give three, but the identity of ‘honorary headmaster’ made him feel embarrassed to give so few.

“What do you mean by ‘your esteemed school’? Our teachers and students here are your children as well!”

Song Yan didn’t treat Sun Mo as an outsider. After that, he smiled bitterly. “Also, are you really giving me a favor? This is a hot potato!”

Given Sun Mo’s identity as a great-ancestor level spirit runist, no one could get him to act even if they had money and status. For example, if the royals waved banknotes at him wanting a Skyward Spirit Rune, Sun Mo would definitely tell them to scram.

This was prestige.

So, since Sun Mo was willing to give ten sets of Skyward Spirit Runes out, it meant ten favors. Song Yan didn’t need these. He was a saint, and people usually owed him favors.

(But I have so many friends, kins, old acquaintances, and disciples. Who should I give these slots to?)

For these favors, Song Yan still decided to accept them.

On the third morning, outside one of the school’s operating rooms, Song Yan led 20 teachers and students over.

“Your Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands can test one’s aptitude, right? Choose the best ten from these people.”

Song Yan wanted to maximize his harvest.

“Sure!”

Sun Mo didn’t say anything in the lines of him tattooing the runes for all of them. This spirit rune had too significant of a meaning with regard to combat strategy. What if they fought against his students in the future?

“Also, this is the [Black-White Soldier Chapter], the ultimate divine art of our school. I will hand it to you now!”

Song Yan took out a manual from his sleeves and passed it to Sun Mo.

“Isn’t this too valuable?”

Sun Mo didn’t accept it.

“Take it. With your temperament and aptitude, you have the qualifications to learn it!”

Song Yan wasn’t a petty character that would lock the school’s ultimate divine art in a basement. Hence, in the Black-White Academy, other people other than reserved headmasters could learn it too.

Sun Mo wasn’t going to be stubborn. After thanking Song Yan solemnly, he accepted it with both hands and also activated Divine Sight in the passing.

The Black-White Soldier Chapter was a peerless saint-tier cultivation art!

The divine art was more inclined toward battle formations and strategies. It was a book on the art of war!

But after training in this, one could convert their spirit qi into soldiers and generals to fight in their stead!

This book emphasized nurturing an individual’s macro-outlook, making one into a famed general and marshal, someone capable enough to lead elite troops.

Sun Mo wasn’t surprised by this at all. In the various countries of the Nine Provinces, the vast majority of high-ranking military officers were from the Black-White Academy. Over half of the famous generals in history had graduated from this place.

Sun Mo’s personal combat strength was relatively strong. He was basically invincible among his peers. However, his ability to use soldiers for war was clearly insufficient. Now, this book could just so nicely mitigate his inadequateness in these areas.

“Finally, I have something to teach Helian Beifang!”

Sun Mo knew that the youth from the plains had always wanted to learn the military arts. However, Sun Mo himself wasn’t proficient in these things, so how could he teach him?

Now, there was no need to worry anymore!
