Absolute Great Teacher (Web Novel) - Chapter 1319 Withdraw From the Competition
Chapter 1319 Withdraw From the Competition
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Xu Chunbo was not targeting Sun Mo. This was his habit from many years ago.
In his eyes, even if Sun Mo had made countless achievements, he was still a student and junior. He should be given the courtesy. It was just like how he would definitely let the youngsters leave first in the event that something dangerous happened.
“Everyone will go up according to their age, from the youngest to the oldest!”
Xu Chunbo instructed.
He was the judge, so his words were like an imperial edict. If anyone was dissatisfied, they could either hold it in or withdraw from the competition.
“Sun… Go for it!”
Gu Xiuxun wanted to call ‘Sun Mo’, but she couldn’t say his name. This made her feel so depressed that she felt like vomiting blood. In the future, when the two of them were aroused in bed, wouldn’t she be unable to call him by his name as well? “I’ll accept deferentially then!”
Sun Mo shrugged. He didn’t mind. After all, everyone had to go through it regardless.
In fact, because Sun Mo was young and was a newly advanced secondary saint, no one would say anything even if he lost. However, as long as he could win against a few people, his reputation would increase.
Sun Mo walked to the altar table and activated his Divine Sight to observe the jade seal.
Unknown target!
The big red words appeared in front of his eyes.
Alright, the system was really becoming increasingly useless. Fortunately, Sun Mo hardly relied on it anymore.
“Speaking of which, how many favorable impression points do you owe me now?”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched.
“Secondary Saint Sun, hurry up and start.”
Someone urged.
“Shut up!”
Xu Chunbo glared at him. “Don’t disturb them!”
The warm yellow-colored jade stone made people feel comfortable looking at it, having the urge to prostrate themselves in worship and tell it what they were thinking.
If Sun Mo had been asked to answer his ideals before he went to the Constellation Academy, he really wouldn’t have been sure. But now, as someone who had died once, he knew well what he wanted.
Hence, Sun Mo took a deep breath, picked up the brush, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote two sentences on the paper. Then, he picked up the jade seal with both hands.
With a thud, he stamped it on the bottom right corner of the paper.

When everyone saw how easily Sun Mo did it, they were a little puzzled. Could this holy object be a bluff?
When Xu Chunbo saw this scene, he nodded in satisfaction. He was the oldest and had the most experience. He had seen the might of the holy seal before.
“Men, display it!”
Under Xu Chunbo’s order, two female clerks immediately walked out from a corner, each of them holding up one side of the paper, and displaying it for everyone to see.
“To instill values for the living, to pass down the great learnings for the deceased!”
All the great teachers present were learned people and naturally knew the meaning behind these two lines. All of them couldn’t help but look toward Sun Mo.
They didn’t expect that he already had such magnanimity and lofty aspirations at such a young age.
“Look below!”
Someone let out a surprised gasp and even the two clerks couldn’t help but turn to look.
The spot where the jade seal had stamped on was initially just a lump of black ink. However, it was turning red at a rate that could be seen by the naked eye, stretching out, as if it was being stirred by an invisible brush. It then gradually turned into a row of words.
“Amazing! What you pursue is like the light of dawn! The day it is accomplished, it’ll definitely be resplendent!”
Pa pa pa!
Gu Xiuxun immediately started to clap.
Swoosh!
Everyone looked over.
Uhh!
Gu Xiuxun’s expression turned awkward and she quickly stopped. However, very soon, another applause rang out. It was from Xu Chunbo, followed by Wei Ziyou.
Thereafter, everyone in the Saint Hall started clapping
“Everyone has seen it. This is the effect of the holy seal. Not only must you pick up the jade seal and leave a stamp, but you must also receive a positive assessment.”

Xu Chunbo explained.
“Secondary Saint Sun, this line doesn’t seem complete. There should be more, right?”
The 8-stars great teacher Ji Xiangdong cupped his hands together and asked.
“There are two more lines, to set morals for the world, to look forward to world peace for endless generations!”
There was nothing to hide about these.
“May I ask why you didn’t write them?”
This was also the same question that other great teachers had.
“To set morals for the world is something that I don’t wish to do for the time being; to look forward to world peace for endless generations is something that I can’t do. Moreover, war is the main theme for humanity.”
The initial intent Sun Mo had to become a teacher was actually to let every student find their own pursuit, so that they’d be able to lead a meaningful life.
As for passing down the great learnings for the deceased, it was because Sun Mo knew that the glow of wisdom was the most resplendent. Once the flame of wisdom was extinguished, humanity would welcome a time of extreme darkness.
“I’ve benefited from the teaching!”
Ji Xiangdong bowed slightly.
“I’ve benefited from the teaching!”
The other great teachers also cupped their hands together and bowed.
“Zhang Shen, you’re next!”
Xu Chunbo called out.
This secondary saint was also a young hero back in his days, an influential figure who led his generation.
“En!”
Zhang Shen went up and looked at the jade seal. After giving it some thought, he wrote boldly with the brush and then went to pick up the jade seal with one hand.
Hmm?
He realized that he was unable to pick it up!
It was as if this holy item was rooted and wouldn’t budge.
Zhang Shen instantly felt awkward.
He only wanted to put on a cool front but didn’t expect to get a slap in the face.
“You’re still as arrogant as ever!”
Xu Chunbo shook his head helplessly. (How can the Saint Hall be a place where you can do whatever you want?)
(In this place, one must first remain respectful.)
Thankfully, Zhang Shen repented in time and went to pick up the jade seal with both hands.
This time, he picked it up easily.
Hu!
Zhang Shen secretly heaved a sigh of relief as he stamped down on the paper, thinking to himself, (I’m not going to act cool anymore in the future.)
“Display!”
Xu Chunbo instructed.
The two female clerks immediately did as they were told.
“I have the mountains and rivers in my chest, I have lofty ambitions. I wish to let my glory spread across the long river of history!”
It was an imperious and grand aspiration.
One would have to be an amazing genius with great confidence to be able to show such high spirits and enthusiasm.
Everyone looked toward the bottom right corner.
The ink changed and formed a row of words.
“Talented, but too arrogant. Take your character in rein. Otherwise, be careful that you’d lose your virtue in old age!”
This was a word of advice.
Of course, it also recognized that Zhang Shen didn’t fake his ideals.
Zhang Shen looked displeased. This meant that he had lost in comparison since the holy seal’s assessment didn’t have as much praise.
“Whose turn is it next?”
Xu Chunbo didn’t care about these and continued with the competition.
“It should be Secondary Saint Dong next,
right?”
Everyone looked toward a white-haired old man.
He was called Dong Shufeng and was 472 years old this year. He was also quite a reputable secondary saint and had extraordinary achievements in the medical domain.
Dong Shufeng slowly walked up, picked up the brush, and wrote down a row of words after giving it some thought.
“Resolve matters for all saints, winning a reputation while alive and also after my death!”
He then picked up the jade seal respectfully with both hands and stamped.
This time around, there was no need for Xu Chunbo to give the instructions. The female clerks had already raised the paper.
“I wonder what the holy seal’s assessment of me is?”
Dong Shufeng was a little curious. However, when he saw the ink mark gradually form a row of words, his face instantly turned pale.
Although the words hadn’t completely taken form yet, one could see the gist of it. Therefore, after being stunned for a moment, he pounced over.
Rip!
The paper was torn up.
“Hmm? Secondary Saint Dong, why did you do this?”
“To be destroying the paper yourself… Are you withdrawing from the competition?”
“Haha, guess what the assessment given by the jade seal is?”
Most people’s attention was on Dong Shufeng’s words, wanting to see what his pursuit was. They didn’t notice the jade seal’s assessment. However, a minority of the people had a glance at it.
“Shut up!”
Dong Shufeng bellowed out while feeling both awkward and anxious.
“Dong Shufeng, your right to take part in the competition is canceled for having destroyed the paper!”
Xu Chunbo’s countenance was grim. Of course he had seen that row of comments.
Everyone was surprised. Saint Xu had addressed Dong Shufeng by his name directly. This meant that he was extremely displeased with him.
Dong Shufeng looked ashamed and didn’t dare to defend himself. After that, he cupped his hands together toward Xu Chunbo and then bowed to the surrounding people to express his apology before covering his face with his sleeve and leaving.
He had no face to continue staying here.
“What happened?”
Gu Xiuxun couldn’t understand.
“That comment wrote: Having no self-respect and shame despite your old age. You didn’t even let a female student off!”
Murong Mingyue snorted disdainfully.
The others were also whispering amongst themselves. Then, they knew what Dong Shufeng had done. This guy had slept with a female student.
“The holy seal is so amazing that it even knows about such matters?”
“My god, isn’t this a public execution then?”
“How can we continue with this? At this time and age, who doesn’t have a bit of a dark history?”
Many great teachers felt awkward. They finally knew how terrifying this round was.
“Fortunately, the one he slept with wasn’t his personal disciple. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to pick up the holy seal!” When An Xinhui said this, she couldn’t help but throw a glance at Sun Mo.
(You mustn’t commit the wrongdoing!)
“Who’s next?”
Seeing that no one stepped forth, he frowned. “Step forth by yourself!”
“It’s Secondary Saint Song’s turn next!”
Everyone looked toward an old man.
“I… I withdraw!”
After Secondary Saint Song said that, he couldn’t stand the awkwardness anymore and with a move, he disappeared from the hall.
Everyone exchanged glances.
“Did Secondary Saint Song do something bad?”
Everyone guessed.
“Sigh, no one is perfect. Who doesn’t have some dark history?”
Everyone’s words sounded more like they were defending themselves.
Actually, there wasn’t much of a problem with Secondary Saint Song. It was just that back then, when he was under a lot of pressure from teaching, he liked to steal fruits from other people’s vegetable fields. This habit had stuck ever since.
He couldn’t stop the habit. It was because each time he stole something, just the thought of the consequences in the event he was discovered felt exciting. If the holy seal were to write about this, he’d die on the spot. “Let’s continue!”
Xu Chunbo instructed.
A few people from the remaining secondary saints felt unsettled, hesitating if they should withdraw. Once they did that, their reputation would definitely plunge greatly. However, with Secondary Saint Song taking the lead, they heaved a sigh of relief as well.
At least, they had people to accompany them on this path.
“You guys…”
When Xu Chunbo saw three consecutive people withdrawing, he was so angry that he felt like beating someone up.
(What can we do?)
(We feel great despair too!)
(Anyway, as long as our dark history isn’t exposed, we’ll have many excuses to justify ourselves. However, once the solid proof is given, everything will be over.)
“Do you guys think that Secondary Saint Zhou will withdraw?”
Gu Xiuxun was feeling a little hopeful.
It was a pity that the masochist was going to be disappointed. Although Secondary Saint Zhou had made a mistake in the matter concerning Li Ziqi, he didn’t have major bad records overall.
The holy seal’s assessment was. “Flaunting your seniority, being too arrogant, and not correcting your mistakes. If you carry on like this, you’ll never be able to become a saint in your lifetime!”
After Secondary Saint Zhou saw that, his countenance was bad. It was a criticism.
Thankfully, most great teachers who had gotten up in age had the same problems. Therefore, they had no right to laugh at others.
Although Secondary Saint Zhou had passed, he felt very unhappy.
(I must win the second round and crush Sun Mo!)
