Outside the examination hall, in the corridor!
The more the examinees waited, the more anxious they felt. Anxiety and trepidation were written all over their faces.
"What's wrong with Great Teacher Sun? Why hasn't he come out after so long? Don't tell me he's dead? "
"The second round of interviews is actually so difficult?"
"If he's dead, he would have come out long ago. Could it be that he's giving a lecture to the examiners?"
The examinees gathered together and started discussing among themselves.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were worried about being disqualified, they really wanted to open the door to take a peek.
Almost an hour passed.
For any interview, this was a very long time.
...
In the examination hall, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to disturb Sun Mo's thoughts.
Liang Hongda looked at this scene and felt a little speechless.
Master Fang had painstakingly researched this spirit rune for over ten years and had gained nothing. Could it be that you wanted to decipher it in a few hours?
No.
It would be a shocking feat if you could even decipher it within a month.
However, these spirit rune grandmasters didn't feel that Sun Mo couldn't make it. They sat cross-legged and quietly waited for him.
"Everyone, there are still..."
Liang Hongda wanted to remind the three examiners that there were still examinees waiting in the corridor, but before he finished his words, he was stared at by Grandmaster Zheng.
His meaning was clear. Don't disturb Sun Mo.
"F * ck!"
Liang Hongda was helpless. Just when he was hesitating whether he should forcefully stop this absurd behavior, Sun Mo spoke.
"This spirit rune is very rare. Master Fang, you've struck it rich."
Sun Mo returned it.
When everyone heard this, their spirits stirred.
"You've figured it out?"
Grandmaster Zheng asked. He had also observed this spirit rune from the side. Honestly speaking, he had no clue.
The others also pricked up their ears.
"This is a spirit rune that involves the mental domain. If you place it by your side when you sleep, you won't have messy dreams and can sleep until dawn, maintaining a good mental state."
Sun Mo explained.
"That's right. I discovered that when I'm not in a good state, I'll feel very comfortable sleeping on it."
Master Fang hurriedly nodded.
"It's so magical? What's the principle behind it? "
Xue Pan was curious.
Sun Mo smiled and didn't continue sharing his experience. After all, this was Master Fang's personal item.
"Old Fang, don't keep it to yourself. Let Grandmaster Sun explain it to us and broaden our horizons!"
Xue Pan pleaded.
"Hehe!"
Master Fang is not stupid. Why should I let others take advantage of me?
Speaking of which, Sun Mo was truly strong!
He had solved the problem that had stumped him for more than ten years so quickly.
Thinking of this, the excitement on Master Fang's face disappeared. What replaced it was a deep sense of loss and sorrow.
His skills were inferior!
Why didn't Grandmaster Fang mind the spirit rune beside someone else?
This was because he was very confident in himself. If he couldn't crack it after more than ten years, then no one else could either. Therefore, he wasn't afraid that they would steal it.
The truth proved that his guess wasn't wrong. Grandmaster Zheng was also at a loss when he saw Sun Mo. However, Sun Mo was the only one whose strength surpassed that of his generation!
"Grandmaster Sun, I also have an ancient spiritual rune. Please help me decipher it!"
"Me too!"
"Let me do it first. My spirit runes are more mysterious!"
Everyone fought over it. For those in this line of work to be able to reach the position of a grandmaster, who wouldn't have a few spirit runes hidden away?
They had thought things through. Even if they spent a few years or over ten years, they most probably wouldn't be able to solve it. Hence, they might as well ask Sun Mo for help.
As for worrying that Sun Mo would secretly learn it?
Using deciphered spirit runes to earn money?
Sorry, I should be more worried now. What if Sun Mo didn't crack it for me?
Moreover, if he really wanted to earn money, he could become the richest man in the Nine Prefectures just by relying on that Imperial Spirit Rune.
Who in the world did not want to soar in the sky?
"Grandmasters, we've already wasted quite a lot of time. There are still examinees waiting behind us. If you guys have any questions, you can write to me. If you have time, you can also come to the Central Province Academy. I'll definitely welcome you with open arms!"
Sun Mo cupped his fists.
"Grandmaster Sun, it's a deal then. After you finish participating in the Five Nation Mock Battle, I'll pay you a visit!"
Grand Master Zheng spoke first.
The others did not want to be outdone.
Seeing this scene, Liang Hongda was dumbfounded. Finally, his eyes fell on Grand Master Zheng. "You're really shameless!"
In the Nine Provinces, an ancestor master was the highest peak and had the most glorious status. It was usually others who came to visit them. Yet, you went to look for Sun Mo?
"Grandmaster Sun, please!"
Master Fang respectfully sent Sun Mo off.
As for the results of the interview?
What a joke.
How would we have the qualifications to interview Sun Mo?
...
Creak!
The door of the examination venue opened!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The examinees who had been waiting impatiently immediately turned their gazes over.
Sun Mo came out, looking calm and composed.
"Next interviewee, Song Yuan!"
As the name was announced, a middle-aged man pushed the door open and entered. After that, he was stunned. Cold sweat drenched his back.
What was going on?
Didn't they say that there would be five examiners?
Why were there so many of them?
"Since Grandmaster Sun has left, we'll take our leave as well. Sorry for the inconvenience!"
The grandmasters exchanged some pleasantries and left the examination venue.
"So, these people are all here to see Sun Mo!"
Song Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Wait a minute, who was the Grandmaster Sun they were talking about?
Sun Mo?
Si ~
What did Sun Mo do to make so many grandmasters willingly refer to him as their ancestor?
The examinees in the corridor were all stunned when they saw the famous grandmasters walking out in twos and threes.
So many people were all here to see Sun Mo?
During dinner time, the news of Sun Mo answering the questions of over 60 spirit rune grandmasters during the interview started to spread.
After all, there were a few staff members present.
This news caused many examinees to feel shocked and envious.
(We're all here for the examination and are extremely worried, deeply afraid that we'll fail if our performance isn't good. Yet, Sun Mo is giving a lecture to the examiners.)
(Comparisons are odious!)
On the third day, the interview ended and the results were announced.
A total of three people passed the spirit rune grandmaster examination this time around!
According to the normal process, after Sun Mo obtained his grandmaster license, he still needed to wait a few days before he could go through the 5-star great teacher aptitude examination.
But who asked him to have connections in the imperial court?
Liang Hongda took full responsibility.
Including the Teacher for a Day, Father for Life halo, Sun Mo successfully released 15 great teacher halos in one go.
After that, he obtained the 5-star great teacher emblem.
"Teacher Sun, congratulations!"
Liang Hongda congratulated.
"Thank you!"
Sun Mo played with this emblem, feeling a little excited in his heart. It was because his social status had increased a little again!
5-star great teachers already had the right to choose their schools. They could freely go to 'B' grade famous schools, and there wouldn't be any obstructions for 'A' grade famous schools.
The only problem was the difference in treatment.
After all, 5-star great teachers weren't strong enough to make an 'A' grade headmaster go all out to headhunt them.
Of course, Sun Mo was an exception.
Even if he wasn't a spirit rune ancestor, as long as he relied on his outstanding appearance, he would be able to become a star teacher and the school's' boss lady '.
And after becoming a 6-star great teacher, he would be able to freely choose from 'A' grade famous schools. No matter what conditions were raised, those headmasters would definitely sell their pots and pans to satisfy them.
However, 6-star great teachers with great ambitions wouldn't choose these schools. All of them desired to enter the Nine Greats.
Just like in the modern era, people would flock to become civil servants. In the Nine Provinces, there wasn't a single great teacher who didn't want to enter a supreme school. This represented status, glory, and money...
"Rising 5 stars consecutively, you're number one in the Nine Provinces!"
Liang Hongda was envious. "You've created another record."
"I was lucky!"
Sun Mo was humble.
"How about it? Do you plan to take the 6-star examination? "
Liang Hongda teased.
"What's the content of the 6-star examination this time around?"
Sun Mo was curious.
He didn't know the exact content, but he knew the general format.
The 6-star great teacher examination was no longer like the 1-star great teacher examination. Because the stars were too high and there were too few examinees, there might not even be one examinee in a year.
Due to this, the 6-star examination and above all had a duration of three years, and the examinees had the same standard. Once they completed it, they would rise in stars.
"You should know the standard conditions. It's to comprehend 16 great teacher halos and grasp two grandmaster-grade secondary occupations."
These were things that had to be completed, or they wouldn't even have the qualifications to participate in the examination.
"The 6-star examination this time around started at the end of last year, and the duration is three years. The content of the examination is the Impassable Prison!"
Liang Hongda smiled bitterly. "Because it's too difficult, no examinee has participated until now!"
"Impassable Prison?"
Sun Mo frowned. "What place is that?"
"This is a place that only the upper echelons of the Saint Gate know of. It's located on a small island in the Sea of Darkness, imprisoning the most vicious and evil great teachers. For example, the Yin Yang Child you captured is imprisoned there."
Liang Hongda didn't hide anything, giving away a lot of favors.
Naturally, given Sun Mo's 5-star status, he was qualified to know such secrets.
"What's the content of the examination?"
Sun Mo couldn't understand. What could he test in prison?
"To us great teachers, we don't just have to impart the dao, impart knowledge, and dispel doubts. We also have to guide people to do good, guiding students to walk on the right path."
When Liang Hongda said this, his expression was solemn. "It's naturally fine to kill people who are walking on the wrong path. But to high-star great teachers, their higher goal is to make them turn over a new leaf, offering their bodies to others and the world."
"..."
Sun Mo really wanted to roast. (Isn't this what monks should do?)
"If you want others to feel that you are high and mighty, you would naturally say this. Actually, this stage is to see the brainwashing ability of great teachers!"
Liang Hongda lowered his voice.
He was treating Sun Mo as one of his own. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said it so clearly.
"Understood!"
Sun Mo revealed a grateful expression at an appropriate time.
"However, Teacher Sun, I advise you to stay calm and wait two years before participating in the next examination. This time around, it's really too difficult."
Liang Hongda dug his heart out.
In the Impassable Prison, those who were locked up were all famous evil great teachers. Their stars weren't inferior to Sun Mo's. Hence, it was very possible for Sun Mo to be counter-brainwashed.
In history, many such situations had occurred.
"Mn, I will be cautious!"
Sun Mo nodded. "If I wish to participate, what should I do?"
"First, come to the Saint Gate and undergo a qualification check. After ascertaining that you have comprehended 16 great teacher halos and have two grandmaster-grade licenses, the Saint Gate will arrange a ship to send you to the Impassable Prison."
Liang Hongda felt that Sun Mo might want to challenge himself. "Without the Saint Gate's secret order, you won't be able to enter this place."
...
After having a meal with Liang Hongda, Sun Mo sat on Little Silver and returned to Chang 'an.
During the meal, Sun Mo had asked why the examination this year was so difficult.
Liang Hongda said that the sect leader felt that the great teacher examination was too simple in the recent ten plus years, causing too many people to fish in troubled waters and rise in stars.
Hence, he forcefully gave the order to increase the difficulty of each star examination.
Not only for this batch, as long as the sect leader was still in his position, everyone could forget about rising in stars easily.
When Liang Hongda said this, although his expression didn't change, Sun Mo could sense that this fellow was secretly happy.
Why?
Because the sect leader would offend the entire great teacher world by doing this.
Even those major characters who didn't need to participate in the examination would be unhappy with him. Because in a great teacher clan like this, there would definitely be great teachers among the juniors. Just because the examination was too difficult and they couldn't rise in stars, how could they not hate the sect leader?
Liang Hongda couldn't wait for the sect leader to offend everyone and then step down from the stage, allowing him to take over.
Sun Mo admired the sect leader's attitude. Honestly speaking, the current great teacher world was filled with foul air. There were simply too many people who were here to make up the numbers.
Although the Impassable Prison's examination was very difficult, Liang Hongda also revealed a little secret. If one's control was good, there would be many benefits.
Those dark great teachers who were captured all had their own secret stashes. Even if they didn't, their abilities were still there. If Sun Mo had a chance, he could secretly learn a thing or two. It would be very helpful to his growth.
For example, a certain dark alchemist might have a unique pill recipe in the Nine Provinces. If Sun Mo could get it, he'd definitely earn a lot.
Liang Hongda felt that Sun Mo had an innate advantage because those dark great teachers would definitely be interrogated. Sun Mo's Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands could heal all kinds of injuries. With this as a condition, he'd definitely be able to harvest a wave of battle spoils.
Sun Mo felt that it was possible and started to seriously consider a plan.
The Impassable Prison was a forbidden ground. Without any special reasons, no one was allowed to enter. If it wasn't for the examination, Sun Mo wouldn't have the chance to come here. Hence, he had to grasp this opportunity.
...
Chang 'an, the imperial palace.
"Teacher, did you pass?"
When Lu Zhiruo learned that Sun Mo had returned, she immediately ran over and hugged his arm. Her eyes were blinking like stars.
"I passed!"
Sun Mo rubbed his lucky mascot's head.
"Congratulations, Teacher!"
The other Calabash Brothers who had rushed over all congratulated him when they heard this.
...
Very soon, Han Cangshui also knew about this matter. After the little eunuch reported this matter to the emperor, Li Yingqi gave Sun Mo some rewards.
"Isn't it just a 5-star? I'm still an 8-star! "
Han Cangshui ridiculed.
The princes and princesses who were listening to the lecture had calm expressions on their faces, but they felt that Teacher Han's words were filled with jealousy.
Yes, you're an 8-star great teacher, but how many stars were you when you were 25 years old?
And Sun Mo was someone who rose 5 stars consecutively, the type that created a new record!
However, even though Sun Mo was strong, they had never considered him as the group leader. After all, he was too young. If they wanted to win the Five Countries Mock Battle, they still had to rely on a highly respected 8-star great teacher like Han Cangshui!
After another half a month, the Great Tang's group of princes officially set off for Xijing, the capital of Qi Country, to participate in the Five Countries Mock Battle!
