Chapter 718: c

Holy Pharaoh was very intelligent. Even without needing Sun Mo’s instruction, it directly fetched Huo Lanying’s sword over.

“...”

Sun Mo was speechless. (Are you really a divine protector?)

(That was a boast, right?)

(From your lackey-like appearance, you seem to be more like a head eunuch that’s responsible for the palace’s administration, the type where you flatter and fawn on the emperor for over twenty years at the very least.)

“Master, don’t look at me with such a gaze. I would feel proud.”

Holy Pharaoh giggled.

“Scram!”

Sun Mo angrily cursed and started to admire the longsword.

Honestly speaking, he knew nothing about swords. Other than the fact it was beautiful and sharp, he couldn’t see any other special characteristics.

“Although it is at the peerless grade, it’s merely a spirit-ranked weapon and isn’t worthy of your talent. Why don’t you use it as a gift for others?”

A cultured and refined voice suddenly drifted over, causing Holy Pharaoh to be badly shocked. It directly bared its teeth and revealed a malevolent expression.

“Who?”

Holy Pharaoh roared.

A middle-aged man pushed the door open and walked in.

He was clad in a black-colored long robe with a pinkish tint at the bottom area. Behind his robes, a star atlas could be seen. If one looked carefully, one could also see a jade ring on his right index finger.

The ring’s design was simple and heavy. One could tell that it had many years of history with a single glance. Also, there was the word ‘Daybreak’ carved into the surface of the ring.

“We have not met for several days, but Starlord’s graceful bearing is as strong as the past!”

Sun Mo spoke.

The person who came was none other than the Daybreak Starlord.

“I trust you have been well since we last met!”

Daybreak Starlord nodded. He chewed on the barley straw and drank a mouthful of soy milk.

As expected, not putting any sugar made this drink truly unpleasant to drink.

“Eh!”

When Holy Pharaoh heard Sun Mo’s words, it suddenly didn’t know what to do. That Huo Lanying was merely a star general, but it took so much effort to kill him. In that case, wouldn’t the bosses of star generals be overwhelmingly more powerful?

(I can’t afford to antagonize him! I can’t afford to antagonize him!)

“Huo Lanying’s sword is ordinary, but the cultivation art he trained in is extremely good. It’s the Heavenly Sword Art and is the famed cultivation art of Old Su. It’s a pity, you are unable to learn it.”

The Daybreak Starlord shook his head.

“Old Su? Is that the surname of the Corona Starlord?”

Sun Mo was curious.

This was because all the Starlords were extremely mysterious. Even Huo Lanying didn’t know his boss’s name. This was why after the scarab devoured his brain matter, it had no way to obtain this information.

Naturally, as for this ‘Soy Milk’ Starlord’s words, Sun Mo merely smiled at them.

(It’s a pity I can’t learn the Heavenly Sword Art?)

(Sorry, I’ve already learned it and it’s the complete version. Do you believe that as long as I spam time emblems, I will be able to raise my proficiency level to half-step grandmaster?)

(Sigh forget it, as humans, we must keep a low profile.)

(Speaking of which, my Immemorial Vairocana is truly impressive.)

(The Grand Universe Formless Divine Art merely has the copy function, but Immemorial Vairocana can allow me to directly learn a cultivation art.)

“Hehe!”

The Daybreak Starlord laughed and didn’t reply. Rather, he glanced toward the exterior of the walls and spoke, “Since Headmaster An is here, why don’t you come in?”

An Xinhui walked in. She knew that she wouldn’t have any chances to sneak attack such a major character. Hence, she didn’t feel any regret.

“Headmaster An is expected of a leading character among the younger generations. Killing star generals is like chopping up a melon or vegetables to you.”

The Daybreak Starlord praised.

“Starlord praises me too much.”

An Xinhui’s countenance was somewhat pale. She was also injured and covered in bloody wounds. Her victory wasn’t as easily achieved as what the Daybreak Starlord had said.

“Are you here to bring these things away?”

Sun Mo looked at the information. What a pity, these could allow the Central Province Academy’s medical study, alchemy, and herbology to rapidly improve by ten years.

“Nope. Teacher Sun is mistaken. I’m here to recruit you.”

The Daybreak Starlord sighed. “I originally thought that your Central Province Academy would be finished for sure this time around. I didn’t expect that you actually resolved this matter so quickly. You have truly made me see you in a new light.”

The Daybreak Starlord knew Huo Lanying was in cahoots with Li Zixing. He also knew that Li Zixing was unhappy with the Central Province Academy and planned to finish the school off. Hence, he decided to save Sun Mo when Sun Mo was in danger, making the latter feel a favorable impression of him. But who would have known that Huo Lanying was so useless?

After hearing this, An Xinhui was somewhat surprised and shocked.

One of the seven great Starlords of Dark Dawn actually wanted to recruit Sun Mo?

(Did I hear wrongly?)

(My childhood sweetheart is already so outstanding to such an extent?)

One must know that every Starlord was at least an 8-star great teacher. In the Nine Provinces, such a rank could make them the headmaster of an ‘A’ grade school.

Sun Mo frowned, not understanding the Daybreak Starlord’s thoughts.

“The two of you, farewell!”

The Daybreak Starlord clasped his hands. “Teacher Sun, I still mean what I said back then. Whenever you feel that the great teacher world has lost its meaning, come and look for me. My door will always be open for you.”

“Also, we will meet again during the 3-star great teacher examination!”

After saying this, the Daybreak Starlord vanished into the night with a gust of wind.

“Little Momo, how are your injuries?”

After An Xinhui could no longer sense the Daybreak Starlord’s presence, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and ran toward Sun Mo to inspect his injuries.

“
