Sun Mo met Li Yingqi in the afternoon.
This emperor of the Great Tang Empire either loved the house and its crow, or he admired Sun Mo. In any case, he didn't display the prestige of an emperor. Instead, he acted like an amicable uncle next door, asking Sun Mo about everything related to Li Ziqi.
However, the last sentence still revealed his temperament.
"Great Teacher Sun, you must win the Five Countries Mock Battle this time around!"
This was also because Sun Mo's reputation was great enough that Li Yingqi didn't speak recklessly. Otherwise, he might even make Sun Mo issue a military pledge.
"Who is the leader of the prince group?"
Sun Mo didn't stand on ceremony and directly pointed out this problem. "If I'm the leader, I'll bear all the responsibility. If not, let Han Cangshui take responsibility!"
"This..."
Li Yingqi found it hard to speak. To speak the truth, he trusted Han Cangshui more. After all, this Sun Mo was simply too young.
He wasn't even as old as the crown prince!
Yes, the crown prince of Great Tang was two years older than Sun Mo.
As the saying went, a person without hair wouldn't be reliable in doing things. Sun Mo's overly young face really made people feel no sense of security.
Sun Mo smiled and didn't continue asking. However, his attitude had already been expressed. (After the mock battle ends, if you can't get a ranking, don't look for trouble with me.)
After the audience ended, Sun Mo took his leave and went to look for Li Ziqi under the lead of the little eunuch.
During this period of time, he would stay in the royal palace, but he wasn't allowed to run around. This was especially so for the places where the concubines lived.
After Sun Mo left, Li Yingqi looked at his chief eunuch. "What do you think of this person?"
"Too arrogant!"
Hou Chun displayed an indignant tone.
When great teachers saw the emperor, they would usually kneel and kowtow. However, the emperor would also put on an image of being courteous and stop great teachers from kneeling.
By doing so, everyone's face would look good.
However, this Sun Mo didn't have any intention of kneeling. He merely clasped his hands.
Naturally, given Sun Mo's status, he had the qualifications to do so. After all, he didn't need to hug the thigh of Great Tang.
"Young man, you have repeatedly created records and became the most dazzling rising star in the great teacher world. It's understandable that you are a little arrogant!"
As the saying went, proud soldiers and valiant generals had unparalleled battle prowess. If Sun Mo didn't have this bit of drive, Li Yingqi wouldn't admire him.
"Send 1,000 imperial guards to him!"
Li Yingqi instructed.
Every time the Five Countries Mock War, there would be a group battle. Logically speaking, the right to train the soldiers should belong to Han Cangshui. However, Li Yingqi decided to give Sun Mo another share.
"Your Majesty, there would surely be a battle between Sun Mo and Great Teacher Han. If Sun Mo won and became the group leader, it would be sufficient for him to control the current 1,000 people. There's no need to transfer more, right?"
Hou Chun was puzzled.
"There's no doubt that the two of them will fight, but what if the outcome of the duel is decided too late? What if they don't have time to train the Imperial Army?"
Li Yingqi explained.
"Moreover, giving Sun Mo an equivalent condition is also giving him the capital to challenge Han Cangshui, as well as giving Han Cangshui pressure. This is killing three birds with one stone!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Hou Chun had a look of sudden realization on her face as she exclaimed.
In fact, he could think of all these. However, he couldn't show that he was too smart when serving the Emperor. He had to give the Emperor a chance to show his wisdom.
…
Great Tang's crown prince, Li Xuan, was a very scholarly young man. He kept a beard, making him look a little mature. This was for the emperor.
He proved that he was a man and could be trusted.
"Great Teacher Sun!"
Li Xuan was refined and polite. He clasped his hands and bowed, but he felt a little awkward in his heart. Who asked Sun Mo to be so young?
Could he be relied on?
The crown prince felt worried.
"Your Highness!"
Sun Mo returned the greeting and activated Divine Sight.
Li Xuan, 25 years old. First level of the divine force realm.
Strength: 23, on the weak side. Hates hardship and prefers entertainment.
Intellect: 26, slightly stronger than ordinary people. However, in front of Li Ziqi's intelligence, he was like an undeveloped ape.
Agility: 24, average standard.
Will: 21, life is very boring.
Endurance: 23, two palace maids can make you cry for your father and mother. You won't even have the strength to lift your pants.
…
Potential value: A little above average!
Note: An ordinary person, but his luck is very good. He was born in the royal family and became the crown prince. However, it's just that his luck is good!
Note: Average in everything he does. Number one in obedience. His only good point is that he's honest. He will follow Li Yingqi and his teacher's instructions unconditionally.
Sun Mo felt a little disappointed. These data were still acceptable for ordinary people, but when placed on the crown prince of a country, they seemed very mediocre.
Li Xuan's greatest strength was that he was honest and obedient.
Such students were the type that teachers liked very much. They were second only to those who had good results and were obedient, and those who didn't.
It was because managing such students was the most worry-free. Moreover, their results wouldn't pull down the average score of the class.
Sun Mo could imagine that after Li Xuan ascended to the throne, he would be an incompetent emperor. If there was a wise official, then he would be able to create a prosperous era for Li Xuan. But if there was a treacherous official, then he would just have to wait to wear the hat of an incapable ruler!
Did he want to win with such aptitude?
Sun Mo didn't think highly of it!
Look at how Grand Xia did it.
Although the fight for the throne was inhumane, the crown prince who had been tempered through such battles would definitely be someone with first-rate wisdom.
Sun Mo continued to look down. A red warning message popped up, causing him to be stunned.
Li Xuan felt uncomfortable from Sun Mo's gaze, but he didn't dare to say anything. Hence, his expression was awkward and uncomfortable!
"Your Highness, it's already so late. Why aren't you going to study?"
A voice filled with energy rang out in his ears.
Sun Mo frowned slightly because this voice was like a saber. It was deep and powerful, containing a majestic killing intent.
"This student obeys!"
Li Xuan clasped his fists toward Sun Mo and hurriedly entered the study.
Sun Mo turned his head and saw an old man with white hair that was combed meticulously walking over with a majestic gait.
His gaze was like that of a ferocious tiger descending the mountain, preying on cubs. It was filled with aggression.
"Hmph!"
Han Cangshui didn't bother with Sun Ming and directly left.
(You want my position as the group leader?
I'll make you regret being born in your mother's womb!)
(The crown prince is my leek!)
(No one is allowed to move!)
...
After Sun Mo met Li Ziqi, he went to meet the other five princes under her guidance.
In the Five Countries Mock Battle, each country could send out a lineup of at least five people and a maximum of seven people, as well as a substitute team of ten people.
The members of this substitute team were all descendants of the Emperor's relatives.
"Teacher, what do you think?"
Li Ziqi poured tea for her teacher.
"The chances of winning aren't high!"
Sun Mo shook his head. As the emperor, what kind of woman wouldn't Li Yingqi have? Couldn't he improve the quality of his genes? Did he have to choose good-looking ones to sleep with?
These princes didn't look bad, but their aptitude was hard to describe.
"So it's like this!"
Li Ziqi felt depressed.
"There will always be a way. At most, you just have to put in more effort!"
Sun Mo started to discuss the content of the mock battle with Li Ziqi, carrying out targeted training and arrangements.
He wanted the other princes to participate as well, but they all rejected using Han Cangshui's lecture as an excuse.
"Han Cangshui's prestige is so high?"
Sun Mo was shocked.
"He's the Alchemy Divine Hands!"
Li Ziqi explained.
Han Cangshui's 8-star great teacher reputation was far inferior to the Alchemy Divine Hands because this fellow was an alchemy ancestor.
The princes knew that their aptitude wasn't good. Hence, if they wanted to increase their strength and extend their lifespans, they had to rely on Han Cangshui's peak-grade alchemy pills.
"I still have the God Hands!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
He was only saying this and didn't have any intention to compete. The main reason was that after looking at these princes, he didn't feel that they could win. Hence, he changed his strategy.
They could lose the group battle, but the little sunny egg must win!
To put it simply, he wanted Li Ziqi to have the most outstanding performance and become the prettiest girl among all the princes and princesses participating in the mock battle!
The training was very tough. The little sunny egg could only sleep for three hours every day and spent the rest of her time studying.
In order to let her maintain her peak condition, Sun Mo used the ancient massage technique, medicine packets, medicinal meals, psychological counseling, and all sorts of other methods.
Every day, Sun Mo would impart everything he knew to her. Moreover, he felt that oral instruction was too slow. Hence, he directly used Soul Imprint and imprinted all the teaching content into her mind.
Not only so, it was also standard for him to multitask, learning two types of content at the same time.
The other Calabash Brothers were also unlucky!
Yes, Lu Zhiruo and the others had come as well. They were preparing to see the market and hence, they were also in the midst of mandatory training!
Time flew by.
The 15th of June arrived.
Early in the morning, Sun Mo sat on Little Silver and used two hours to rush to Shengjing.
Today was the spirit rune grandmaster examination.
When Sun Mo entered the Saint Gate's branch and reported his name, everyone in the hall turned over.
"This is Sun Mo? He's so handsome! "
"What is he doing here? Is he also here to participate in the examination? "
"Should we go over and greet him?"
The great teachers in the surroundings discussed. As Sun Mo's fame was too great, they didn't dare to go over and chat with him.
Very soon, Liang Hongda came over after hearing the news.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
(My heavens, the vice sect leader actually came out to welcome him personally. This person is really impressive!)
What made them even more shocked was that after learning of Sun Mo's arrival, those spirit rune grandmasters also rushed over excitedly.
"Damn, it's Fan City's Grandmaster Fang!"
"That baldy is Grandmaster Xue, right? I heard that after he obtained a set of ancient spirit runes, he went into seclusion and hasn't seen anyone for ten years. Did he come here for Sun Mo? "
"Quickly look, quickly look! Grandmaster Zheng is here personally. Oh my god, he's actually so amiable toward Sun Mo!"
The spirit rune masters who came to participate in the examination this time around were stunned when they saw the old seniors who were famous in the spirit rune world appearing before them. Some of them even felt a little flustered.
Was the grandmaster examination so difficult now? Did they need so many top-notch spirit rune grandmasters to supervise and set the questions?
"Don't panic, they might just be here to see Sun Mo!"
"I heard that Secondary Saint Zhou arranged for Gu Xian to give a lecture in the 4-star examination in order to make things difficult for Sun Mo. Do you guys think that the spirit rune examination this time around..."
"Mummy, I'm so scared. I want to go home!"
Many examinees immediately wanted to retreat. Their countenances were pale, feeling that they would definitely fail this time around.
"I say, everyone, can we catch up after the exam is over?"
Liang Hongda interjected, "If you guys do this, it will affect Sun Mo's condition!"
"What's there to test? Someone who can create epoch-making spirit runes like flying can be directly given the title of grandmaster. "
Grandmaster Zheng didn't want to waste time. It wasn't easy for him to catch Sun Mo and he really wanted to chat with him for seven days and seven nights without sleeping.
