Chapter 1055 - The First Assistant
Chapter 1055: The First Assistant
“Teacher, quickly think of one!”
Lu Zhiruo urged.
The name ‘Flying’ was too common and showed no hints of literary talent. It simply didn’t match up to this type of great invention of the century.
“Is there a need for things to be so troublesome?”
Sun Mo scratched his head. “How about making things simpler and call it the Skyward Spirit Rune!”
“Does it mean driving through the skies?”
Li Ziqi felt that this name was passable.
“Mn!”
Sun Mo kept the draft. “This is just the first generation. In the future, there will be a second generation and even more. What I pursue is to allow humans to become like a warpla…a bird, soaring through the skies.”
Sun Mo almost said the word ‘warplane’. Actually, the perfect product he wanted was something that could allow him to fly long distances and fight at close distances.
In the future, when he fought, he could simply fly around rapidly. Before his enemies could track him, they would already be dead from the Spiritwave Cannon.
“In the future, when in the air, it means we have to protect this Skyward Spirit Rune, right? If it is damaged, we will die if we fall from such a great height.”
Helian Beifang felt that even for legendary realm experts, they would be smashed into a pile of mush if they fell from the sky.
Li Ziqi cast a glance at Bai Wenzhang.
If his auto-repair spirit rune technology became reality, Helian Beifang’s worries would be insignificant.
“We can do a flying horse carriage!”
Lu Zhiruo’s eyes brightened. Because she had sat on Little Silver before, the experience led her to think of this.
“That can be done!” Ying Baiwu was contemplating as the thoughts of making money filled her heart. “In the future, we can start a business transporting things through the air. We will definitely make bucket loads of money.”
“Alright, stop talking nonsense. Have you guys completed your recent homework?”
Sun Mo acted strict and imposing.
…
After inspecting his students’ homework, Sun Mo went to the living area again and did a thorough diagnosis of all the experimental subjects that he had done the operation for.
The majority was recovering quite well, but Sun Mo was still not satisfied and continued to try and optimize the treatment process.
“Yo, young man. We meet again!”
The frivolous voice of a woman interrupted Sun Mo’s thoughts.
He turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman who was pushing a wheelchair. She was standing under the roof and smiling at him.
On the wheelchair, that old man that seemed on the verge of dying squeezed out an amicable and friendly smile. It was just that his entire face was filled with wrinkles and covered in spots, causing him to look very frightening.
“I originally thought you came here to learn. I didn’t expect that you became Bai Wenzhang’s valued guest!”
The middle-aged woman marveled. “Do you have time? Should we have a good chat at night?”
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman even winked at Sun Mo.
Although she was over 40, this woman maintained her looks well. Her figure was also relatively voluptuous and she looked like an upper-class woman.
At the very least, her demeanor showed that she must be from some aristocratic clan.
Sun Mo didn’t reply.
“Alright, even if you wish to chat during the morning, I’m fine with it too. Who asked you to be so handsome and outstanding?”
The middle-aged woman giggled.
“Are you not afraid your husband would beat you to death?”
Sun Mo frowned and stared at the middle-aged man who was standing at the side silently.
“Why would he want to beat me? Aiya, did you mistake my meaning of asking you for a ‘chat’?”
The middle-aged woman smiled charmingly. “You are so naughty.”
“Let’s leave!”
Sun Mo didn’t wish to continue talking nonsense with her. Li Ziqi was still following him. If they continued speaking, it might misguide the children.
“This body is really good!”
The old man who was on the verge of death leaned against the seat of his wheelchair and stared at Sun Mo’s departing back. His eyes revealed a hint of greed.
“Master, should we win him over?”
The middle-aged woman licked her lips and felt her desire stirring. “I can personally act!”
“Right now, he is Bai Wenzhang’s valued guest.”
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes. “Now that we need his help, we can only endure this. After master gets better, we have to seize Sun Mo’s body no matter what.”
“Let’s wait and see!”
The old man closed his eyes.
The two middle-aged people tactfully no longer spoke. They pushed their master in his wheelchair and went to look for Bai Wenzhang. The treatment for their master’s treatment had been delayed for quite a long time, and they wanted to get Bai Wenzhang to treat the old man quickly.
In his office, after Bai Wenzhang met with the Undying Old Man, he immediately refused to help.
“Wait a little more. Recently, I’ve been too busy.”
“You want us to still wait?”
The middle-aged man was unhappy and started roaring, “What matter could be more important than our master’s life?”
“You won’t understand even if I told you!”
Bai Wenzhang didn’t even glance at the middle-aged man. It wasn’t that he was looking down on him. Instead, he completely had no regard for the middle-aged man. “If it wasn’t for the Undying Old Man, you basically wouldn’t qualify to be here in my manor.”
“You…”
The middle-aged man was enraged.
“Enough!” The old man berated. “Brother Bai, give me a specific timing, please?”
“I can’t be sure either!”
Bai Wenzhang shook his head. “This will have to depend on Sun Mo. I can only proceed with my experiments after he is prepared. Only after that can I do the operation for you.”
Bai Wenzhang actually didn’t wish to care about this old man, but he couldn’t do so.
This old man was one of the five Doyens of Dark Dawn, the Undying Old Man.
The Dragonspirit Manor was right here, and they weren’t able to shift their nest. So, if the Undying Old Man wanted to make trouble here, Bai Wenzhang wouldn’t be able to deal with this.
Naturally, no one would be willing to offend Bai Wenzhang casually. But if he met people like the Undying Old Man who was about to die, they wouldn’t mind perishing with Bai Wenzhang.
“Is Sun Mo really so important?”
The middle-aged man couldn’t understand. “He is just a young fellow of 20+ years old. What capabilities can he have?!”
“He is 10,000 times more important than you!”
After Bai Wenzhang finished speaking, he shook his head. “No, I was wrong to compare you with him. That would be the greatest humiliation to Sun Mo.”
“You…”
The middle-aged man was extremely angry.
“Also, please address Sun Mo as ‘Teacher Sun’. If I hear you calling him by his name again, you are to scram out of my Dragonspirit Manor immediately!”
Bai Wenzhang’s expression turned gloomy.
The middle-aged man no longer dared to talk nonsense.
He was just a servant and had no qualifications to speak directly to a darkness hegemon like Bai Wenzhang.
…
For the next week, Sun Mo entered seclusion again. He was researching the Eternal Spirit Rune. This was the most important research achievement that Bai Wenzhang obtained.
After tattooing it on one’s body, it would not only be able to unceasingly absorb spirit qi, but it would also be able to strengthen that person’s body, increase their recovery rate, and allow them to enter a berserk state for a short period, enhancing the power of their ultimate skills…
Naturally, the most important thing was that after it was damaged, it could automatically repair itself.
Because it possessed so many powerful effects, the spirit rune diagram was extremely complicated and was a preeminent rune that stood above the vast majority of spirit runes in the spirit rune world.
But only Sun Mo could understand this. If it was other grandmaster spirit runists, they wouldn’t be able to understand it at all.
It was just like calculus. The answer might be revealed in the book, but many people would still not understand.
There was no solution as it was too difficult.
After Sun Mo completely understood this spirit rune and had personally drawn ten sets of it, he got Jiang Leng to inform Bai Wenzhang that the operation could begin any time.
And on that day’s afternoon, Bai Wenzhang already impatiently prepared everything.
On the second morning…
The weather was extremely good!
After a sumptuous breakfast, Sun Mo brought Li Ziqi to the operating theater.
“Teacher Sun, have you considered my suggestion?”
Bai Wenzhang had already waited for some time.
He was talking about this topic now to alleviate Sun Mo’s feelings of nervousness. But very soon later, he discovered that Sun Mo was completely calm and collected.
“I still have the Central Province Academy holding me back. I don’t feel that I can give up on it!”
Sun Mo sighed.
Honestly speaking, being a vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy meant both fame and power. He would surely also have these two things if he became the dean of the Dragonspirit Manor. But in terms of reputation, it would be more inferior.
The name of a darkness hegemon in the great teacher world would surely have less influence compared to the headmaster of a supreme-grade school.
“That’s really too much of a pity!”
Bai Wenzhang felt very regretful.
Xiao Feng who was waiting respectfully at the side was badly shocked after he heard this.
(As expected, Teacher wants to recruit Sun Mo! No, I must not let this succeed.)
“Let’s go and do the experiment!”
Sun Mo actually didn’t want to operate on a student. But if he didn’t act as the assistant, there would be others taking this role. If that was the case, the danger level would definitely increase.
At the very least, if he was the assistant, the survival rate of the experimental subject would increase.
“Mn!”
Bai Wenzhang took the lead and entered the operating theater. “Do you need any spirit runes we collected in the manor? You can take whatever you need!”
Si~
After hearing this, Cui Shun`en and the others were dumbfounded. (Are you not regarding Sun Mo too highly?)
One must know that this knowledge was the root of the manor’s strength.
“Teacher, you must not do this!”‘
Xiao Feng subconsciously persuaded him.
“Shut up!” Bai Wenzhang berated. “Can’t you simply copy another set?”
Xiao Feng felt sullen. (Sun Mo is the outsider, the arduous job of copying sets should fall to him, right?)
The experimental subject was already mentally prepared. It was a 16-year-old youth.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight to look and discovered that this youth had very powerful stats, and his potential value was extremely high.
“Just go and have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will become even stronger.”
Sun Mo smiled and comforted the experimental subject.
“Teacher Sun, you can stand here!”
Cui Shun`en moved away from the right of Bai Wenzhang. That was the position where the first assistant would stand.
“Mn!”
Sun Mo didn’t act humble.
Very soon, the operation started.
The fingers of Bai Wenzhang, which were holding onto the spirit rune knife, were long, slender, and powerful. They were stable and quick as they drew out beautiful runic lines.
Everyone was silently admiring his work.
Xiao Feng carried an image-recording stone and started recording from various angles.
This was keeping a record of the experiment.
“Teacher Sun, what do you think?”
Bai Wenzhang took the lead to speak.
“Perfect!”
Sun Mo’s words were concise and comprehensive.
“Haha, my condition today is indeed very good!”
Bai Wenzhang lifted his brows. “I have to thank you for this, giving me inspiration and allowing me to be in the mood.”
When Xiao Feng heard this, he felt as though a lemon was stuffed into his mouth. His feelings were extremely sour.
Bai Wenzhang’s attainments in the field of spirit runes were simply too high. Only Cui Shun`en could barely match up to his standard. Sadly, Cui Shun`en had no creativity.
He was more than sufficient to be an assistant. But wanting Cui Shun`en to become an intimate friend who could discuss innovative ideas equally with him? Cui Shun`en was much too lacking in that regard.
Bai Wenzhang’s condition was like playing chess with a group of newbies. He truly felt no mood to play at all. But ever since he met Sun Mo, it was like playing against a grandmaster.
More and more ideas kept appearing in his head.
During this period, Bai Wenzhang was filled with endless inspiration and he simply felt like this was the most fortunate time of his life.
“Ai, why must I only meet you at the very last stage of my life?” Bai Wenzhang sighed.
“Dean, please pay attention!” Sun Mo reminded him.
“Oh!”
Bai Wenzhang discarded all other distracting thoughts and focused fully on the operation. He felt that this time around, the experiment might really succeed.
Hours after hours passed. After that, an entire night passed.
Bai Wenzhang stood before the operating table for an entire 26 hours.
“It’s almost done!”
Yan Sui was agitated. Up until now, the dean had made no mistakes. In the past, they would require three operations to reach this current stage.
Cui Shun`en’s gaze turned to Sun Mo.
His God Hands were simply too useful.
