Let alone the fact that Jiang Zhitong wasn't dead, even if he was dead, no one would take a second look at him.
At this moment, Ying Baiwu was the center of attention.
After a series of explosive shots, the iron-headed girl climbed up vertically.
Because the martial dojo was very big, there wasn't a dome. One could see the blue sky and white clouds. But now, the clear sky had become Ying Baiwu's background.
She hovered in the air, looking down at Xu Cong from above.
The entire dojo fell silent.
Let alone the spectators, even those experienced great teachers were shocked to the extreme.
Fly... fly?
Was this something that could be done by humans?
Xu Cong stared at Ying Baiwu with a dazed look on his face. She could actually fly?
After that, a huge sense of defeat assaulted Xu Cong's entire body. He felt that his twenty plus years of hard work had been completely wasted.
How should he fight?
(She can fly. Although my sword qi can kill long-range targets, it can only reach 30 meters at most. But now, she's flying over 50 meters in the air.)
(From the looks of it, she can fly even higher.)
Leaving aside Ying Baiwu's unparalleled archery skills, even a hunter who couldn't sense spirit qi would be able to shoot him to death as long as they were flying in the air.
There was no chance of victory!
Ying Baiwu waited for a few seconds and pulled the bowstring. This time around, spirit qi gathered and formed a translucent arrow.
"Eh? Why did you bring out the arrow? "
Lu Zhiruo didn't understand.
"Because regardless of whether it's translucent or not, we'll win for sure."
Tantai Yutang chortled. Naturally, the most important thing was that Xu Cong had lost a lot of face.
Right now, Xu Cong was facing a dilemma.
It was impossible for him to win, but if he admitted defeat, he would rather die in battle than admit defeat. Thinking about the conflict between the Jiang Clan and his teacher, as well as his own glory, he would rather die in battle than admit defeat.
However, he truly had no chance of victory at all!
Although weapons had no eyes in battle and death and injuries didn't count, Ying Baiwu still cared about her teacher's reputation. If she intentionally shot her opponent in a situation where she would definitely win, she would appear ruthless. Hence, Ying Baiwu threw the choice to Xu Cong.
(Don't disappoint me!)
Ying Baiwu used a teasing gaze to intentionally provoke Xu Cong.
The situation fell into a stalemate.
Tong Yiming was stunned.
Wasn't Sun Mo a little too powerful?
Ever since the first great teacher examination and they got to know each other, only two years had passed. To think that Sun Mo had grown to such a terrifying extent?
How could there be a place for you in this world?
The Grandmasters in the judges' seats were also stunned. After a long while, one of them spoke.
"Secondary Saint Zhou really tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. After this examination, Sun Mo's name would surely resound throughout the great teacher world. There's no way he would be able to run away from the title of Saint Substitute!"
"Yeah, he comprehended the halo of the ancient sages and obtained the recognition of over 1,000 ancient sages. Now, he even invented a method to fly, changing the combat style of the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces!"
"I wonder if it's difficult to fly? If it can be mass-produced, that would be terrible. "
The Grandmasters discussed among themselves, their expressions solemn.
In the past, Archery Masters were not valued. Everyone valued their swords more. After all, in a fight, Archery Masters had both advantages and disadvantages. But now that they could fly, how could they fight?
It was just like now. Actually, Ying Baiwu totally didn't need to fight to the death like before. She could directly fly up and end the battle with a single round of explosive fire.
Peak of the blood-ignition realm?
Sorry, even if you were at the legendary realm, you would still have to take a beating. At most, Ying Baiwu's attack was too weak and couldn't break through his defense.
But even if you wanted to kill him, you wouldn't be able to!
"In that case, is this considered breaking the rules?"
Someone in the crowd suddenly asked.
"It shouldn't be, right? The rules say that if one falls off the stage and remains standing, it's considered a loss. But he's flying now! "
"Yeah, there's no rule that says he can't fly!"
"But isn't this a little too shameless?"
"You don't know how to fly, yet you're blaming him?"
The audience discussed animatedly, shouting that this battle was worth the ticket price.
"Kneel and admit defeat!"
Ying Baiwu was very crafty. She added the word 'kneel' in order to infuriate Xu Cong.
Xu Cong was instantly enraged. He wanted to kill, but he couldn't reach!
"Since you don't want to admit defeat, does that mean you want to continue fighting?"
As Ying Baiwu spoke, she suddenly released the bowstring.
Swoosh!
An arrow shot out.
Xu Cong hurriedly dodged. After that, he discovered that the arrow dissipated midair. This caused his face to turn black.
Ying Baiwu was clearly trying to scare him and had no intention to attack.
This was too humiliating. Xu Cong wanted to pat his chest and roar, 'If you have the guts, shoot over here'. But in the end, he didn't have the courage to do so.
"I don't have time to waste with you!"
Ying Baiwu drew her bow again.
"I might not be able to reach you, but it won't be easy for you to kill me as well!"
Xu Cong prepared to do his best to dodge. (I don't believe that your spirit qi can allow you to keep flying in the sky.)
Beng!
The bowstring trembled.
An arrow shot out. After it flew above the stage, it directly split into 99 shadows and rained down like rain.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wind King Divine Arrow, carpet bombing.
"Admit defeat... we admit defeat!"
Jiang Zhitong was supported by two of his good friends as he called out weakly.
He was truly unwilling!
But what could he do if he was unwilling?
Sun Mo glanced over.
The two good friends who were supporting Jiang Zhitong immediately lowered their heads. They didn't wish to offend Sun Mo and be assumed to be on the same side as Jiang Zhitong.
"For this round, Ying Baiwu is victorious!"
Tong Yiming announced.
Ying Baiwu landed on the stage. After that, she leaped up again and flew lightly to Sun Mo's side.
She was truly elegant.
"Teacher Sun, how did you do it?"
Although Liang Hongda knew that this question wasn't appropriate, he really couldn't hold it in.
Swoosh!
Everyone's eyes stared at Sun Mo, filled with the desire to know.
"It's done using spirit runes!"
Sun Mo smiled and didn't hide anything.
Putting aside the fact that Old Zheng and Prince Consort Li Xiuqi had seen it before and couldn't hide it anymore, Sun Mo was planning to let more people know about this spirit rune. After that, he would use it to attract more outstanding students and great teachers.
For example, these few ancestor-grade experts. Did they want to get one?
If they wanted to, they could just come to the Central Province Academy for lessons. It wasn't too much, just half a month a year, right?
This was the strategic value of the Imperial Sky Spirit Rune.
"Wow, isn't Sun Mo's luck a little too heaven-defying?"
"I wonder which ruins of darkness he dug out from?"
"Wouldn't we know if we checked his whereabouts for the past two years?"
All sorts of murmurs rang out in the surroundings. No one felt that Sun Mo was the one who invented the Imperial Sky Spirit Rune because it was too unbelievable.
"Teacher Sun, can I ask you a question? Can you tell us the story of this spirit rune?"
On the judging panel, the ancestor-grade expert who specialized in spirit runes couldn't hold it in anymore. It was as if he had seen the most beautiful treasure.
Even if he didn't know what this spirit rune looked like, it was also a type of enjoyment to listen to its story.
"That day, Teacher woke up from his afternoon nap, ate a stack of pastries, and drank a cup of afternoon tea. After that, he felt a sudden impulse and wanted to..."
Qin Yaoguang had always loved to stir up trouble. She cleared her throat and started.
Everyone's ears pricked up. The venue that was crammed with over 10,000 people was completely silent.
"I want to go to the toilet!"
Qin Yaoguang's lips twitched. "The pastries from Hanji are really not delicious. Daoji's are still better. Oh right, are the people from Daoji around? Remember to transfer the advertising fees to me! "
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
Everyone frowned. They were speechless because of Qin Yaoguang, but they didn't dare to flare up.
"Stop fooling around!"
Li Ziqi rolled her eyes at the snack girl. "This spirit rune was invented by my teacher after a surgery."
There was no way the little sunny egg would tell these people that her teacher's inspiration came from the mechanical doll that Lu Zhiruo had opened from a mysterious box.
"A... invention?"
The ancestor-grade expert's gaze turned sluggish and he stuttered a little. "You... you're saying that this spirit rune was... was invented by Teacher Sun?"
"That's right!"
Li Ziqi smiled sweetly. "Otherwise, have you seen anyone using it before?"
Sssss!
The sound of people drawing in cold breaths rang out, almost emptying the entire dojo.
Everyone's gazes were filled with doubt, shock, and envy when they looked at Sun Mo again. But in the end, all of them turned into disbelief.
What was unbelievable was that this spirit rune was also created by Sun Mo!
This... this was definitely the number one person in the spirit rune world of the Nine Provinces, right?
"You... do you have it on you as well?"
The ancestor-grade expert asked.
Li Ziqi didn't reply. After a slight smile, her entire body floated up vertically.
"Masterpiece! Masterpiece! "
The ancestor-grade expert applauded and praised, "It's truly a masterpiece of the current era!"
"Everyone, such a minor matter isn't worth mentioning. Even the personal disciples battle has been delayed. Judge Tong, please continue!"
Sun Mo clasped his fists and apologized.
The battle had started, but no one was in the mood to watch. Right now, even if two saints were to fight, no one would be interested.
"Teacher Sun, you..."
The examinees in the surroundings all gathered over. One of them had just opened his mouth when he was scolded.
"What Teacher Sun? Who are you calling? You should address him as Teacher Sun. Do you understand? "
This person felt that he had boot-licked well and could win a wave of favorable impression points. But in the blink of an eye, he discovered that there was someone better than him.
"Bullshit Teacher Sun. Who are you looking down on? Are you qualified to be his disciple? Address him as Ancestor Sun, Great Grandmaster Sun! "
A female great teacher berated with a righteous tone.
The people on the judging panel looked at Sun Mo anxiously. They really wanted to go over and chat with him!
Since ancient times, flying had always been everyone's dream.
"Let's talk about spirit runes after the examination is over!"
Sun Mo felt a headache from the quarrel.
"Sun Mo is definitely going to be very popular now."
Gu Xiuxun sighed ruefully. "Sister An, you have to hold onto him tightly. Be careful that he might be headhunted by other famous schools."
"Only the Nine Greats would have the qualifications to headhunt him. I don't believe that those headmasters from 'A' grade schools would feel embarrassed to ask for him."
Mei Ziyu mentally mused. (Even my mother wouldn't feel embarrassed to headhunt him.)
Sun Mo's three disciples had finished their three battles and there was no longer a need for him to stay here. Hence, he got the Calabash Brothers to stay behind and continue watching the battles to accumulate experience. As for himself, he left.
"Teacher Sun!"
Just when Sun Mo walked out, Mei Yazhi caught up to him.
"Aunt Mei is too polite. You can just call me Sun Mo!"
Sun Mo revealed his eight teeth. His smile was sunny and handsome, like the sun god Apollo that had descended into the world.
Seeing that Sun Mo wasn't arrogant and complacent despite having obtained such results, Mei Yazhi was very satisfied. "I'll get straight to the point. That spirit rune..."
"If you want it, I can give you one at any time!"
This was one of his thighs. He had to hug her tightly.
"However, this is the first version and there are some small flaws. The flying speed is limited, and it's not too nimble when changing directions."
Sun Mo explained, his gaze involuntarily drifting toward Mei Yazhi.
(This figure is maintained really well. Compared to Mei Ziyu, Aunt Mei's figure is much better. Speaking of which, should I suggest her to tattoo it on her chest?)
"Of course. Don't worry, my Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands can remove old spirit runes at any time. It won't affect the future. However, I hope that you can keep this matter a secret."
"That's only natural!"
Mei Yazhi nodded and then felt very emotional.
(Are the youngsters nowadays all so sensible?)
Mei Yazhi increasingly felt that Sun Mo was very considerate. He was much better than her daughter.
(Sigh, if I was ten years younger, I'd definitely compete with An Xinhui.)
Mei Yazhi didn't say that she wanted to repay Sun Mo, but given her personality, she definitely wouldn't let Sun Mo suffer a loss.
...
The battle was still ongoing, but everyone already felt bored. All their attention was placed on Sun Mo.
Although there were still 64 people participating in the championship battle, how could his disciple lose after Sun Mo revealed the Imperial Sky Spirit Rune?
As for Li Ziqi, no one had forgotten about her pile of spirit rune cudgels. Who would be able to withstand it if she tossed them down while floating in the air?
Also, Sun Mo had obtained a record-breaking result in the Ancient Virtue Building. If there were no accidents, he would be the top ranker of this 4-star great teacher examination.
He had obtained four top rankers in four consecutive examinations, and all of them were record-breaking.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this result was universally shocking.
Now, in addition to this epoch-making Imperial Sky Spirit Rune, there were already people who started to give Sun Mo the title of 'Saint Candidate'.
After all, a great teacher who had obtained such terrifying achievements at the age of 22 had never appeared in the great teacher world before.
...
The personal disciples battle ended, and the 100 winners were chosen to obtain the title of 4-star great teacher.
In truth, because the Ancient Virtue Building's test was too difficult, the judging panel lowered the standard. Otherwise, only Sun Mo, Zhang Wentao, and Wan Xiulin would pass.
This also meant that these three had reached the standard of 6-star great teachers in terms of teaching, knowledge accumulation, and foresight.
If it wasn't for the fact that everyone knew that it was impossible to headhunt these three, the headmasters would have long since made a move and wouldn't hesitate to offer a sky-high price.
"Teacher, are we still going to participate in the championship battle?"
In the hotel, Huang Peng felt weak during the meal.
"Why? Are you afraid of losing? "
Wan Xiulin frowned and put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"It's not that I'm afraid of losing, but I can't think of the possibility of winning!"
Huang Peng felt depressed.
"Is the reason for you to give up just because you can't win?"
Wan Xiulin reprimanded, "Go, face the wall and reflect on your mistakes!"
After her disciple left dejectedly, Wan Xiulin also lost her appetite. (Do you think I want to fight?) (But we are from Secondary Saint Zhou's faction!)
(We have no choice!)
(Teacher, giving up on Li Ziqi is the greatest mistake of your life!)
(No.)
It's not scary to give up on Li Ziqi. What's scary is that Li Ziqi encountered Sun Mo.
Sigh!
It's so sad to be in the same era as Sun Mo.
Wan Xiulin was also a dazzling rising star who was the center of attention. But in this examination, she was completely suppressed by Sun Mo.
Even if he couldn't win against Ying Baiwu, he had to win against Li Ziqi at the very least!
This was Wan Xiulin's minimum requirement.
