Many people were like this. When they had something for several decades, they naturally wouldn't cherish it anymore.
"Do you know what the chess soul said when I wanted to purify it?"
Sun Mo said in a deep voice.
"What?"
Qing Wuzi asked.
"It thanked you for helping it realize its dream of becoming a chess saint. Although it had talent, it died young and wasn't able to fulfill its wish. Also, it wanted me to tell you that it was very sorry for the harm it caused you!"
Sun Mo sighed. "Then, before my purification technique could be completed, the chess soul left on its own.
"It didn't leave in the past because it couldn't bear to leave you. It also felt that you wouldn't really despise it. But your 'heartfelt display' earlier hurt its heart!"
Qing Wuzi was dumbfounded and fell to the ground. Then, he wailed loudly!
Sun Mo looked at the Great Xia Prince Group. "It's just a chess battle. So what if I give you guys the first place?"
After saying that, Sun Mo turned and left in a carefree manner.
Li Ziqi hurriedly followed.
(That's right. In any case, I have to win all the subsequent matches!)
Pa pa pa!
Seeing Sun Mo responding to Great Xia's accusations of cheating in such a domineering manner, the spectators cheered.
Actually, as long as one wasn't blind, they could tell that Great Xia had cheated. Also, Sun Mo's final teaching of Qing Wuzi was filled with the demeanor of a great teacher!
At this moment, a strong gust of wind blew and moved the chess pieces.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The chess pieces fell to the ground one after another.
Hua!
The people sitting in the spectator stands and looking down at the arena stood up in unison, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"There seem to be words on the arena?"
The spectators squeezed forward.
Yes, the black and white chess pieces that fell on the arena formed two large words called 'Thank You'!
This was clearly the chess soul thanking Sun Mo for letting it bury the hatchet between it and Qing Wuzi.
"Teacher!"
Li Ziqi tugged at Sun Mo's sleeves.
Sun Mo turned his head and smiled when he saw Qingfeng Fuqi.
"May you be treated gently by the world, even if life is always cruel and desolate!"
Sun Mo gave his blessings loudly.
The smile on his lips was faint, like sunlight, like spring water, like March, overflowing with warmth!
Whoosh!
Golden light radiated from Sun Mo's body, radiating out in all directions.
Priceless Advice had activated!
When a Chess Soul left its host, it would become a wandering ghost. Without a lifeblood supply, it would die after exhausting its remaining energy.
But now, under Priceless Advice, this chess soul that had been bound by Go for a lifetime was purified.
He..,
There were no more regrets!
Hu!
The air blew, and the chess piece fell!
Huala! Huala!
On the floor, the black and white chess pieces were arranged into a sentence!
"Thank you. Please allow me to address you respectfully at the last moment of my life. Teacher Sun, thank you!"
The thousands of people around the ring who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded.
This …
Even the mysterious Chess Soul was freed because of Great Teacher Sun's guidance?
The expressions of Xia Taikang and his group were unsightly.
Wei Wanyan surveyed Sun Mo, his gaze filled with shock. He only became a great teacher in passing and didn't put in much effort. After all, his future goal was to become the king of Great Wei. However, he didn't expect that a true great teacher would actually be so powerful.
Jiang Yuzhen blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Sun Mo curiously.
"May the world treat you gently? Well said! "
Although Jiang Yuzhen was known as a would-be military god and liked the dao of battle formations, it was precisely because she had seen too much slaughter and death that she respected life more than anyone else.
Sun Mo's words had a relatively great impact on her.
"That's too cool, really too cool!"
Lu Zhiruo grabbed Ying Baiwu's arm and shook it with all her might. She felt that this was what a great teacher should be like. Not only could he impart knowledge and educate people, but he could even guide ghosts and spirits.
"How much did you take?"
Qin Yaoguang took the image-recording stone and filmed while asking Tantai Yutang, "I forgot to thank you at the beginning."
"Everything!"
Although the sickly invalid's expression was calm, he was extremely impressed in his heart.
This teacher of his was really sharp.
"This is too good. This image-recording stone will definitely sell well!"
Qin Yaoguang could already imagine that she would be able to earn a lot.
"Teacher Su, what do you think?"
Qi King asked. He was also shocked. This Sun Mo was really outstanding.
"Ten years later, there might be another saint in the Nine Provinces!"
Teacher Su sighed ruefully. "At the same age, I'm inferior to him!"
Sun Mo returned to Great Tang's spectator stand.
Because there was still an exhibition match, he had no way to leave.
"Great Teacher Sun!"
Li Xiu didn't know what to say and could only offer a cup of tea.
Upon seeing this scene, Li Ziqi's eyes curved up and she smiled happily.
Her aunt was very proud. In the entire Great Tang, there were no more than three men who could enter her eyes. And now, her teacher could be considered one of them.
Han Cang's face twitched. He suddenly felt some regret for coming to Xijing.
Damn, up until now, he didn't have any sense of existence at all. He was completely overshadowed by Sun Mo. To an 8-star great teacher, this was a humiliation.
Li Xuan suddenly felt some regret for rebuking Sun Mo.
Such a person would surely have a high status in the great teacher world in the future.
(Speaking of which, I wonder if it's too late for me to apologize now?)
"Eldest Princess is too polite!"
Sun Mo took the teacup and drank a mouthful.
On the surface, his expression didn't change, but he was laughing to death in his heart.
He had earned a lot this time.
Up until now, the favorable impression points he received were still flooding in. 100,000, 200,000...
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained a total of + 257,000 favorable impression points!"
The system congratulated him.
"System, are there a lot of women who want to give birth to monkeys for me?"
Sun Mo had taken a glance earlier. On average, the favorable impression points contributed by women were one-third more than men.
"Please refrain from arrogance and rashness. Where are you now?"
The system spoke in disdain. However, Sun Mo's face had indeed given him too many points.
"For this round, the Great Tang obtained first place!"
The Qi King announced the results. Great Xia was second, Great Wei was third, Great Chu was fourth, and Qi Country was fifth. This also meant that no one had cheated. The rankings were based on the results of the game.
"Next, it will be an exhibition match. Everyone from the princes' groups can seek guidance from the royal tutors of the other countries. The next exhibition match will be held."
There were three purposes for such an exhibition match.
Firstly, it was to give the princes a chance to display themselves. After all, they had come from afar and couldn't possibly be a side character, right? Secondly, it was to drag out the time and give the audience something to talk about, as well as to boost the economy.
One must know that the longer the competition dragged on, the longer the tourists would stay in Xijing. This would naturally bring a huge boost to the local economy.
Thirdly, it was to let the main participants rest during the exhibition match so that they could deal with the third round of the book battle.
After the Qi King spoke, the princes of the four countries moved. They impatiently rushed toward the spectator stands of the Great Tang.
This scene caused Han Cangshui's countenance to turn even more ashen and unsightly.
No matter how brainless he was, he wouldn't feel that these people were here to challenge him.
No!
Maybe there was an exception?
The truth proved that Han Cangshui had thought too much.
All the princes and princesses gathered before Sun Mo.
"Great Teacher Sun, please guide us!"
"Great Teacher Sun, I've long since bought your autobiography. After I finished reading it, I pressed it on my pillow and flipped through it every night!"
"Great Teacher Sun, please accept me as your disciple!"
Some people were reserved, while others wanted to grab hold of this opportunity to become famous.
Among these princes, some clearly had no chance to ascend to the throne. However, salted fishes still had dreams. Hence, they felt that after they entered Sun Mo's tutelage, they might be able to rely on Sun Mo's support to covet the throne.
No matter how bad it was, it should be better than now, right?
"Even if Great Teacher Sun wants to accept disciples, he would do it first. When has it been the turn of you foreigners?"
The princes and princesses of Great Tang were unhappy.
They felt that their rice had been stolen and eaten.
For a moment, everyone was in an uproar.
The ones who felt the most awkward were undoubtedly the Crown Prince's Grand Tutors from the other envoys.
Li Xiu sneaked a glance at Han Cangshui, feeling that it might be a bad move for her brother to make him the main person in charge. Yes, Han Cangshui was an alchemy ancestor and the alchemy pills he concocted were really precious. However, Sun Mo's God Hands weren't bad either.
He didn't expect the King of Qi to be so greedy, inviting him to the palace so many times.
"Great Teacher Sun's popularity is so high!"
King Qi praised, "Truejade, aren't you going to play a game of chess with him?"
"No!"
Jiang Yuzhen shook her head.
These princes and princesses were simply too passionate. Moreover, Sun Mo also had the intention to establish a good relationship with the royal families of the various countries. Hence, he didn't reject them.
"Six by six is very auspicious. Let's play six games at once, shall we?"
Sun Mo went up the arena and played against six opponents at the same time. At the same time, each opponent would give three pieces.
"Teacher, can you do it?"
Qin Yaoguang felt a little worried.
In such a situation, if he lost due to carelessness, it'd be too embarrassing.
"Don't worry, Teacher is a grandmaster of chess. Even if he played ten games at once, he'd win for sure!"
Li Ziqi was very confident in Sun Mo's chess skills.
As expected, Sun Mo went on a killing spree.
Although the system would occasionally block some abilities, the skill books given out were all genuine and wouldn't be discounted at all.
Sun Mo's chess skills were at the national level.
What did this mean?
It meant that he was the best in the entire country. In a country, there were only three to five people who could compete with him!
In the afternoon, Sun Mo played ten rounds of chess in one go.
"Teacher wouldn't bring back the title of Chess Saint, right?"
Xianyu Wei was shocked. She felt that her teacher was omnipotent.
For two consecutive days, Sun Mo played a total of 60 games and didn't lose a single one. He had truly showcased himself again.
After resting for a day, the third round, the book battle of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, officially began.
It was still early in the morning, but the heavens didn't do anything. Dark clouds covered the sky and it started drizzling.
"As the saying goes, if one is knowledgeable, one's spirit will naturally blossom!"
In a clear voice, the Prince of Qi said, "Who doesn't want to be someone who is well-read, knowledgeable, and able to speak eloquently? Who doesn't want to see the girl they love and be at a loss for words, only able to say, 'I want to sleep with you!'
When Great Tutor Su heard this, his lips twitched.
Laughter rang out below the stage as well.
"Qi King is still so carefree!"
Li Xiu shook her head and laughed. However, such a carefree person would definitely be very happy in life.
"All the princes and princesses have been taught by great teachers since young and are very familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. There's no meaning in testing you guys. Why don't we do something new?"
The topic of every Five Nation Debate could be traditional, or it could be decided by the host country. Clearly, King Qi was trying to stir up trouble again.
