Chapter 490: The Taste of Despair
Since ancient days, the rarer something was, the greater its worth!
Due to the problem with the raw material supply, as well as there not being many people who were familiar with the production, the supply of the giant medicine packet wasnât able to increase.
However, the giant medicine packetsâ effects were too good. Therefore, according to An Xinhui, the orders had queued all the way to the middle of the next year, and this was after having pushed away some of the orders. Otherwise, theyâd definitely be able to meet the demands.
It could be said that the giant medicine packet was considered the golden milk cows for the Central Province Academy.
The low star great teachers in the school couldnât buy them. Even if they could, they wouldnât bear to use them because these things were too expensive, so theyâd just resell them.
After hearing that Sun Mo was going to distribute the giant medicine packets as the benefits every season, they instantly felt excited. They felt that as teachers of the Central Province Academy, they should have the priority to enjoy these products and shouldnât have to pay for them.
Just as everyone was discussing how many giant medicine packets the school would distribute to the teachers, they suddenly heard what Sun Mo said next. All of them were stunned.
âDivine-level building? Our school has such a thing?â
âItâs that building next to the library, right? So itâs already completed?â
âSo itâs called the darkness illusion dojo!â
The great teachers who were watching started discussing amongst themselves, their interests piqued by Sun Mo.
Although they might not like Sun Mo, they had to admit that he hadnât lied before. If Sun Mo wanted to lash out at someone, heâd do that openly.
âEveryone, please come with me!â
Sun Mo took the lead and walked toward the darkness illusion dojo.
What came after having such an amazing building?
Of course, it was to publicize it so that everyone knew! Let those great teachers and students have strong urges to enter and experience it, or even to yearn to live in it.
After all, this building was what Sun Mo was going to use as his strong bargaining chip to headhunt people.
Sun Mo walked up to the illusion dojo and stopped in front of its door, turning back to warn, âI must first remind everyone that the first floor is the illusion hall. After entering it, youâll see all sorts of illusions. If you feel uncomfortable, leave immediately! Otherwise, youâll go crazy!â
Everyone was shocked.
âYouâre calling it a divine-level building, but itâll harm people?â
Zhang Hanfu sneered.
âItâs because itâs a divine-level building that mediocre people wouldnât be able to withstand it. The first level will be the benchmark on whether or not a person can stay here!â
Sun Mo shrugged. He wasnât willing to use an exaggerated term like âgodlyâ. However, he could only do so to create a controversy.
Everyone agreed with his words. If even trash could use it, then itâd sully the word âgodlyâ.
âLet me do it!â
Du Xiao helped Sun Mo push open the door.
Everyone gushed in, then their anxious footsteps gradually slowed down. It was because the illusions had invaded their minds.
âAhh, monster! A big monster!â
âWhy is this place a celestial island? Are those spirit beasts?â
âIsnât this scenery too pretty?â
The teachersâ conditions were better and the students could somehow manage, but the citizens who came in to join the excitement found themselves immersed within the illusions.
Sun Mo turned and looked. Many people had fallen all over the corridor heading to the hall.
âBring those citizens and students out!â
Sun Mo instructed.
The great teachers immediately got to work, but their minds were shaken. The illusions didnât appear randomly but were targeted for each of them.
They then carefully sensed the illusions with their bodies. This was also a tempering of their minds.
Zhang Hanfuâs countenance changed slightly.
Sun Mo took out his pocket watch and checked it. 20 minutes was up. Therefore, he clapped his hands together. âAlright, letâs head to the second floor!â
âHold on a little longer!â
Someone was still immersed in the feeling.
âThis is just the appetizer!â
Sun Mo smiled and went upstairs. He then introduced, âThe second floor is the illusion combat dojo. Itâs used for sparring.â
âThis?â
Zhang Hanfu immediately sneered. âThe schoolâs victory dojo is better than this!â
âDonât be anxious!â
Sun Mo led everyone up to the third floor. He didnât give any explanations but drew out a dagger, slit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood onto the floor.
Pa!
The blood became thicker and fog shrouded up the place. Then, a Sun Mo illusion appeared in the hall.
Sun Mo didnât say a second word. He swung his fist and attacked.
Bang bang bang!
The two of them quickly got engaged in battle.
Sun Mo performed the Wind King Divine Steps and moved extremely quickly, bringing along many afterimages. Very soon, no one could tell the difference between the real Sun Mo and the illusion.
âMy god, this is quite amazing!â
âWhich one is the real one? The one on the left?â
âItâs clearly the one on the right!â
âPlease, not only do the two of them look so alike, even the cultivation arts they used are the same. Whoâd be able to tell the difference?â
The great teachers started discussing amongst themselves. At this moment, no one cared about the demonstration anymore. All of them were immersed in this amazing building.
âTeacher Gu, youâre on closer terms with Teacher Sun. Which one of the two is him?â
Du Xiao asked.
âThe one on the right?â
Gu Xiuxun had just said this when the âSun Moâ on the right had his head crushed by Sun Moâs blade. It shattered into a lump of fog that dissipated in the hall.
â...â
Everyone was astonished and speechless.
âOn this level, you can freely battle against your own illusion. What you know, your illusions know too. Oh right, they arenât just ordinary illusions. They also experience rage, insanity, righteousness, and all other sorts of states.â
Sun Mo introduced calmly.
There were only heavy breathing sounds left in the surroundings, as well as many gazes filled with the strong yearning to give it a try. They couldnât wait anymore.
âDepartment Head Sun, can I give it a try?â
A young teacher pleaded. Without realizing it, he no longer addressed Sun Mo as âTeacher Sunâ. It wasnât that he was trying to curry up to Sun Mo, but that he recognized Sun Moâs contribution to the school.
After all, this building was built by Sun Mo.
âPlease go ahead!â
Sun Mo took a step back and made way for the young teacher. âEveryone can give it a try. Oh right, it can only accommodate ten people at maximum each time, and youâll just need to drip your blood on it.â
âDonât snatch!â
âGive me a spot!â
âF*ck! Do you know how to respect the old and cherish the young?â
The great teachers fought amongst themselves, all of them cutting their fingers.
When the blood dripped onto the floor, many lumps of thick fog rose, condensing into darkness illusions. There were over 30 of them.
âAlright, stop cutting your fingers anymore. There are too many people already.â
Sun Mo quickly stopped them, instantly causing the group of great teachers to feel displeased. However, they couldnât exactly say anything and could only remain patient as they observed the battles
The great teachers who had started sparring kept crying out, feeling abnormally excited.
âF*ck, this strike feels so good. How can it feel so good even when youâre hitting yourself?â
A sloppy guy laughed.
Sun Mo was speechless. (Old Wang from next door, so it turns out that other than hitting up girls, youâre also subconsciously a masochist!)
âIâm actually this handsome? Isnât this kicking stance too cool?â
âItâs so fun!â
âTeacher Sun, can I call out two illusions?â
The great teachers had great fun. Even if they were beaten up, they were still laughing away. Some of them even started to discuss the darkness illusionâs advantages.
They were all great teachers and were no fools. They could instantly think of the huge improvements this building could bring to the students.
âGoddamn it!â
Zhang Hanfuâs countenance turned even more grim. He didnât expect that Sun Mo still had such an ace up his sleeves.
15 minutes later, Sun Mo clapped his hands together.
âAlright! Letâs continue to go up to the next floor!â
Sun Mo shouted.
âYou guys go ahead! Iâll continue to fight for a little longer.â
Old Wang couldnât bear to leave even though he was already badly beaten up.
âOld Wang, didnât you want to go on a strike?â
Xia Yuan shot out.
âWhoâs going on a strike? Iâm just here to watch the excitement.â
Old Wang glared at Xia Yuan and then squeezed out a smile at Sun Mo. âTeacher Sun, youâre this!â
Old Wang flashed a big thumbs up.
âLetâs go quickly!â
Fang Haoran urged. He wanted to know about the good things upstairs. He then threw a disdainful glance toward Old Wang.
This was clearly a darkness building. Usually, the higher one went up, the more amazing it was.
Sun Mo took the lead to head up.
âThe fourth floor is a place to duel against someone elseâs illusion. As long as you have a drop of their blood, best if itâs fresh, then youâll be able to summon their illusion.â
Sun Mo smiled. âBut you guys need to take note of your safety. Itâs because the illusions can kill you!â
Sssss!
Hearing this, everyone took in a gasp full of cold air.
Being able to duel against someone elseâs illusion? Then the value of this building would be extremely high.
The more amazing a great teacher, no, this was no longer limited to great teachers. The more amazing an expert, the harder it would be for them to spar against others. Firstly, it was because they cared about their face. They couldnât possibly make a move just because a random Tom, Dick, or Harry asked to spar against them, could they?
Secondly, what if they were put in danger?
Right now, they only needed to obtain a drop of blood to perfectly create a darkness illusion and have an actual battle. This felt really good.
It could be said that as long as people respected An Xinhui enough, then the blood of important figures she could get would be worth a lot, and the value of this building would be even greater.
Ordinary people might not be able to do this, but it wasnât an issue for An Xinhui. After all, the old headmaster was a secondary saint and had extensive connections.
Itâd be too troublesome to ask them for a spar, but it was an easy favor to give a drop of blood.
âWeâve already started to gather the blood of experts and shall be using this as a reward for outstanding great teachers and students!â
Sun Mo said this. Think about it, how great of a temptation would it be to be able to battle against a world champion every day?
Zhang Hanfu felt that his chest was starting to ache as if his heart was convulsing. He couldnât help but shout out, âWhy would experts give you their blood so easily?â
âHehe, you seem to have forgotten that I have God Hands!â
Sun Mo shrugged.
Even if Sun Mo didnât reply to him, no one cared about Zhang Hanfuâs suspicion. To the majority of the people, itâd be sufficient if they could have access to the blood of someone stronger than them, for them to have a strong opponent.
âThe Myriad Daos Academy will be in trouble!â
Fang Haoran exclaimed in his heart. This darkness building would bring a qualitative improvement for the Central Province Academy. In the long term, its students would gain more combat experience.
âAlright, letâs continue to head up!â
Sun Mo went up the stairs.
âThereâs more?â
Zhang Hanfu wanted to leave. He looked around and wanted to find a few allies, but other than a few people who were in the same predicament as him, the others all followed Sun Mo upstairs excitedly.
âItâs over!â
Zhang Hanfu finally understood what despair meant!
