Chapter 1205: In the Name of Teacher, Unparalleled in the World!

Swoosh!
The golden halo enveloped more than half of the palace.
The people affected by the halo felt their spirits being lifted. It was as if they had just finished watching ten motivational movies and had been given a huge amount of stimulants on how to achieve success. There was only one thought in their minds now, and that was to work hard, not wasting their lives.
Many youngsters immediately stood up and left impatiently. They were in such a hurry to get to work that they even forgot to bid farewell to the emperor.
“This is…”
Grand Tutor Su was stunned.
“What’s the matter?”
The Qi Emperor did not blame these people because they had clearly been affected by Li Ziqi’s halo as a great teacher. What they were doing now was definitely ‘beyond their control’.
(But Grand Tutor Su, why are you surprised? What kind of big scenes have you not seen before after having lived for so long?)
“I’ve never seen this great teacher halo before!”
Grand Tutor Su didn’t conceal anything.
“What?”
The Qi Emperor was stunned and understood what he was saying. “You’re saying that Li Ziqi has gained enlightenment to a brand new great teacher halo?”
Great teacher halos could only be gained through enlightenment and not learned. Thus, no one knew how many types of halos there were in total.
Every few years, new halos would appear in the great teachers world. It was also possible for existing halos to disappear, with no one being able to gain enlightenment to them anymore.
Therefore, there was a public opinion that great teachers who were able to comprehend a brand new great teacher halo were favored by the heavens. All of them had the disposition of a Saint and were qualified to become one.
“That’s right!”
Grand Tutor Su was envious. Then, he thought of Secondary Saint Zhou.
He would definitely regret it after hearing of this matter. Even though Li Ziqi was talented, what was more amazing was Sun Mo’s foresight and teaching. Without his discerning eyes and meticulous teaching, Li Ziqi would not have been able to reach this step.
Grand Tutor Su was knowledgeable and could see the intrinsic qualities of things in an instant. However, most great teachers were unable to do so. At this moment, they were discussing amongst themselves while experiencing the effects of this halo.
“This doesn’t seem like the Rooster Crow Halo.”
“That’s right. The main effect of Rooster Crow is to stop students from sleeping in and force them to enter a learning state. It’s different from this perked-up stimulated state!”
“It seems to be very similar to Minute Seize, but there are some indescribable differences!”
The great teachers discussed spiritedly. In their confusion, they looked toward Grand Tutor Su.
“After a student is reinforced with Minute Seize Halo, they will think that it’s shameful to waste their time and they can’t wait to achieve the goals in their heart. The halo that Teacher Li has released mainly affects the mental state, motivating people to work hard to climb to greater heights!”
Grand Tutor Su explained, “One places emphasis on concrete actions, while the other places emphasis on the mental state!”
Everyone came to a sudden realization when they heard this. Some people also noticed that when Grand Tutor Su addressed Li Ziqi, he no longer called her by her name but switched to Teacher Li.
This was a sign that he had acknowledged the other party and viewed her as a great teacher whom he could talk to on equal terms.
“What is this halo called?”
A young great teacher asked humbly.
“I don’t know!”
Grand Tutor Su’s answer made all the guests stare blankly. (There’s a halo that you don’t know about?)
“Because this is the new halo that Teacher Li just gained enlightenment to, she’ll need to be the one to name it!”
Grand Tutor Su’s explanation caused a huge commotion!
Everyone looked at Li Ziqi with shock in their eyes.
This girl standing in the hall was only 14 or 15 years old, but she was already this outstanding? This was especially so for the great teachers. They knew that having enlightenment to a new great teacher halo meant that one had the potential to become a Saint. Therefore, they were stunned out of their wits.
(If you’re already so amazing now, will the great teachers world be able to accommodate you in another 20 years?)
Some quick-witted people thought of Sun Mo. He wasn’t very old either and was only in his twenties. Moreover, putting aside whether he could become a Saint, he’d definitely be able to become a secondary saint.
Together with Li Ziqi, wouldn’t that mean that there would be two secondary saints under one wing?
“Oh my god, in 20 years, Sun Mo’s faction will become a huge power in the great teachers world.”
“I think that ten years will be enough!”
“If they really turn out to have two saints under one wing, it’ll be an unprecedented case that can’t be achieved in the future!”
The great teachers discussed excitedly.
To date, there hadn’t been a case of two sages appearing under one wing at the same time.
“You guys are thinking too much into this. How can it be so easy to ascend to the saint’s position?”
Some people weren’t optimistic about this. “Wait till they become secondary saints!”
“You seem to have forgotten that Sun Mo helped two 8-stars great teachers from the Black-White Academy successfully become secondary saints. Otherwise, why do you think he can be highly regarded by Headmaster Song and become the honorary headmaster of this school that’s one of the Nine Greats?”
A high star-level great teacher exposed this news.
This was the first time those high-ranking officials and nobles heard of this matter. They were instantly stunned.
“Eldest Martial Sister, you’ve gained enlightenment to a great teacher halo!”
Lu Zhiruo clapped hard, feeling happy for Li Ziqi.
“Eldest Martial Sister, drink up!”
Qin Yaoguang handed her a cup of wine.
“She’s already drunk!”
Tantai Yutang was filled with a mixture of emotions. He had wanted to use the image-recording stone to retain Li Ziqi’s dark history so that he could tease her in the future. He hadn’t expected her to enter a state of outburst.
At the banquet in the palace, drunken hundred poems recital, gaining enlightenment to a great teacher halo. This was definitely one of the most glorious moments in Li Ziqi’s life.
Even the sickly guy, who had always thought of himself as a genius and looked down on everyone else, felt a little defeated by her.
He had no choice but to accept this!
“Eldest Martial Sister is really amazing!”
Xianyu Wei felt envious.
“En!”
Helian Beilan sighed in admiration. Fortunately, this was his eldest martial sister. Otherwise, he would be extremely jealous.
“Teacher Li, what do you intend to call this great teacher halo?”
Grand Tutor Su was curious.
Li Ziqi was in a groggy state. She only heard it clearly after Qin Yaoguang repeated the question again.
“I gained enlightenment to this halo because I recited Teacher’s ‘Please Drink Up’. Naturally, I’ll call it ‘Please Drink Up’!”
Li Ziqi said this in a matter-of-fact way.
She was already drunk, but because she had just comprehended a halo, everything related to this halo became clear under its influence.
Its effect was to let the user feel unrestrained, not caring for gains or losses, not caring for the hurdles before them, constantly looking forward and advancing toward their goals!
(To not feel inferior, to not give up. Everyone is born with a purpose in life. You can do it!)
“Great benevolence!”
Grand Tutor Su’s envy could not be any greater. Li Ziqi could totally name this halo after her. This way, even if future great teachers were to comprehend this halo, they would have to call it the Ziqi Halo.
This was the special right the first person to comprehend a halo had! It was also a huge honor!
However, Li Ziqi gave up on it and wanted to call it Please Drink Up!
With that, Sun Mo’s poem and Sun Mo himself would become even more well-known.
Of course, with just this great poem that could be passed down through the long course of history, Sun Mo’s name and reputation would remain in this world for a very long time.
Creak!
Han Cangshui could no longer control his emotions and flattened the bronze cup in his hand.
(Damn it! What is with this teacher-student pair? Why are they so strong? F*ck, she can even gain enlightenment to a great teacher halo even when she’s just reciting poems. How does this make sense?)
Li Xuan pinched his forehead, feeling a little troubled. (Would I be forgiven if I were to kneel before Teacher Sun and apologize to him now?)
“Great poem!”
Xia Taikang picked up a flask of wine and drank it happily. He liked this poem very much!
“Your Majesty, my eldest martial sister is already drunk. I would like to bring her back to rest!”
The sickly guy spoke up. Li Ziqi was so drunk that her vision was groggy, and she couldn’t stand properly anymore. Qin Yaoguang was supporting her.
“Permission granted!”
The Qi Emperor nodded. Then, he thought of something and called out, “Wait, Ziqi. We have experienced your teacher’s poetry talent. It is definitely unrivaled in the world. However, I still want to ask, what is your favorite poem?”
Li Ziqi leaned against Qin Yaoguang, gave it some thought, and then smiled. In that instant, it was as if a hundred flowers were blossoming, making everything else in the world seem pale in comparison.
“The strong autumn wind blows, wrinkling up the Dongting Lake; after a night of sorrow and yearning, Xiang gained a lot of white hair.”
“Drunk on alcohol, forgetting that the stars in the water are mere reflections of the sky. I lay upon the galaxy with dreams unclouded! [1]”
After the little sunny egg recited that, she completely fell onto Qin Yaoguang and sank into a deep sleep.
No one cheered nor talked amongst themselves. They were scared that even the softest voice would disturb Li Ziqi’s beautiful dream!
Everyone was immersed in the majestic and beautiful scene depicted by this poem.
“I lay upon the galaxy with dreams unclouded? Excellent! Excellent!”
Grand Tutor Su closed his eyes and muttered to himself, quietly savoring the poem!
At this moment, it was as if he was sailing amidst the galaxy, draping the starlight as his blanket, having the Milky Way as his pillow, and being immersed in a great dream.
The other guests were also silent as they ruminated over this poem!
“To think that there’s someone like Sun Mo in this world?”
The empress sighed in admiration. After saying that, she was shocked. She had actually praised another man in front of the Qi Emperor. This was something that she should never have done.
However, the Qi Emperor did not hold this against her but nodded instead.
“Someone like Sun Mo will only appear once in a thousand years. To be able to meet him and live under the same moon as him is our honor!”
The Qi Emperor sighed.
“Sigh, listening to Great Teacher Sun’s poems is like drinking great wine or bathing in sweet dew. It’d be such a great regret to be unable to listen to them in the future.”
Many high-ranking officials and nobles sighed.
Given their statuses, they were not qualified to drink and chat with Sun Mo through the night.
“Where’s Beloved Subject Sun? Where did he go? Why haven’t I seen him after so long?”
The Qi Emperor asked.
Right now, he had a strong urge to have a drink with Sun Mo.
…
At this moment, Sun Mo was standing in front of an artificial lake, admiring the moon together with Jiang Yuzhen.
Logically speaking, with the beautiful military lady beside him, Sun Mo should be enjoying his time. However, he was covered in sweat because each of the other party’s questions was trickier than the last.
“Teacher Sun, what do you think of An Xinhui?”
Jiang Yuzhen was straightforward and didn’t like to beat around the bush.
“Very good!”
Sun Mo felt a headache coming, as if he was in the midst of a blind date. This was because the questions that Princess Flying Swallow asked were all very personal.
Of course, she wasn’t asking if he had cars of his own, what brand they were, how many houses he owned, how big they were, and how much savings he had. He was asking about his thoughts on his fiancée, his life, and his career!
“Teacher Sun, don’t patronize me!”
Jiang Yuzhen was really unhappy. “I heard that you guys treat each other respectfully. Other than work, you rarely interact with each other. Do you not like her?”
“…”
Sun Mo was silent. If a girl like An Xinhui was placed in the modern world, he wouldn’t have a chance to woo her. Therefore, when he heard others say that his fiancée was a beautiful great teacher ranked fifth on the Devastating Beauty Rankings, Sun Mo would feel a sense of superiority. However, to say that he liked her…
They seemed more like friends?
“What is the reason you’re staying in the Central Province Academy?”
Jiang Yuzhen asked again.
“Realizing my own value!”
This time around, Sun Mo replied very quickly.
Jiang Yuzhen nodded and asked another question, “Sun Mo, what do you think of me?”
