Thanks for letting me win! "
After Xianyu Wei clasped her fists and bowed, she jumped off the stage and jogged back to Sun Mo's side. She stared at him anxiously like a pug waiting to be praised.
"Excellent!"
Sun Mo wanted to stretch out his hand to touch Xian Yuwei's head, but he suddenly discovered that she was very tall now. It would be easier to touch a lucky mascot.
"Hehe!"
Xian Yu Wei beamed with joy.
"You've already grasped the essence of this Dharma Skyshock Fist. Just practice it step by step, and you'll be fine. Apart from that, focus your time on the Undying Mystic Art!"
Sun Mo guided.
The grassland girl was simple, lively, and had a clear distinction between love and hate. She had strong emotions, and in her world, there was only right and wrong. There were no gray areas. These attitudes were very compatible with the profound meaning of this Buddha Fist.
As the saying goes, when the Buddha is enraged, he can shake the heavens with his fist!
I don't care if you're right or wrong, I don't care if you're happy, angry, sad, or joyful. I only need one punch to shake the heavens, and all your worries will vanish.
The competition continued, but the high-star great teachers on the viewing platform weren't in a good mood.
Pa!
A six-star threw the notebook in his hands on the ground, crossed his arms, and looked displeased. "What's the point of this competition? It has become an exhibition match for Sun Mo's disciples! "
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked his students to be so powerful?"
"The Nine Greats are in for it this time around. This was supposed to be a battle of heroes for them to spread their names. Now, they might end up benefiting Sun Mo and his Central Province Academy instead."
Some of the great teachers from the other schools gloated over Zhang Xuan's misfortune.
The more powerful the student was, the more famous the school would be, and more students would come to the school.
To the school, the source of students was like a crop, a source of profit. But now, Sun Mo was going to take a share of the profits.
Even though many people were complaining, they were still convinced.
What conditions did a person need to surpass others in a certain field?
Outstanding talent, hard work, and the guidance of a famous teacher.
"This girl from the plains seems to be born with divine strength. I'm really envious of Sun Mo's dog shit luck!"
Six-star was jealous.
"I heard that this Xianyu Wei was abandoned by her personal teacher. It was Sun Mo who accepted her!"
Someone broke the news.
"Haha, that teacher must be regretting it so much that he wants to commit suicide, right? This is the kind of people who have eyes but fail to see! "
The six-star sneered.
No one said anything. After all, not everyone had a good judgment like Sun Mo.
"Let me say something fair. These personal disciples of Sun Mo are all extremely good in terms of talent and education. However, don't forget their hard work. I've heard that Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu are two cultivation maniacs. They want nothing more than to soak in the darkness illusion pagoda of the Central Province Academy 24/7."
An old man sighed with emotion.
The master teachers fell silent. They decided that they would be strict with their students once they returned. If their talents weren't as good as Zhang Xuan's, and they weren't able to endure hardship as well, what right did they have to win?
Rely on luck?
…
When a young man also wielding a silver spear went up the stage, Li Ziqi immediately asked, "Teacher, what do you think of this fellow?"
"Very strong!"
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight, but it displayed an unknown target.
Sun Mo had long since gotten used to the system's incompetence.
"His name is Yuan Yuan. I have no idea where he came from, but he's ridiculously strong. He has already defeated five top graduates from the Skyraise Academy, Westshore Military School, and Jixia Learning Palace."
Tantai Yutang introduced, "He's the greatest dark horse in this competition!"
"Che, if it wasn't for Teacher's fame being too great, Xuanyuan Po and Baiwu would also be dark horses!"
Lu Zhiruo pouted.
Only those unknown contestants who no one had high hopes for before would be known as dark horses after they performed so well. As for Sun Mo's students, their fame was too great and they were all seeded contestants.
Helian Beifang swept a glance at the papaya girl. (What do you mean by this? I'm inferior to the two of them?
I'll crush them in the next round!)
Helian Beifang and Yuan Yuan were both in the 'C' group.
"Teacher, what do you think about me recruiting him?"
Li Ziqi had been a great teacher for many years, but until now, she didn't have a personal disciple. She was usually too busy and would only give guidance to members of the royal family or juniors of the lower grades in the school when she had time.
There were also people who coveted Li Ziqi's identity as the Great Empress and wanted to enter her tutelage. However, they were all rejected by her.
With regards to accepting disciples, Li Ziqi wanted her teacher to help her check.
"Right now, many great teachers are privately inquiring about him, wanting to get his hands on him!"
Qin Yaoguang felt very regretful. If it was in the past, she could casually fabricate information about Yuan Yuan and sell it for a lot of money. But now, she couldn't do it anymore. Otherwise, if she was caught, she'd be throwing her teacher's face away.
"How can such a student not have a teacher?"
Sun Mo shook his head. "Back then, Xuanyuan was just an ordinary person. As for this Yuan Yuan, he has clearly grown up and isn't very malleable."
This guy was either from a great teacher clan that had a long history and his family was worried that he would become Shang Zhongyong. Hence, they had been suppressing him, not allowing him to become famous. Or, he was a student taught by Dark Dawn.
"For a person to grow to Yuan Yuan's level, it's impossible for him to be unknown!"
Sun Mo explained, "His aptitude isn't inferior to Xuanyuan Po's. But back then when Xuanyuan appeared in our school, did you see how many great teachers fought for him?"
"Is there a problem with this guy's background?"
Helian Beifang's eyes narrowed.
...
In the final circle, after the first round of the competition, Sun Mo confirmed that five people belonged to the first tier.
Xuanyuan Po, the dark horse Yuan Yuan, Huangfu Long and Zeng Sheng who graduated from the Skyraise Academy, as well as Zhan Fan from the Westshore Military School. Even intern teachers with the worst judgment would be able to tell how strong they were.
There were many contestants in the second tier, over ten of them. However, the one in first place should be Ying Baiwu.
To put it bluntly, it was because the iron-headed girl didn't use the Imperial Sky Spirit Rune. Otherwise, there was no need for them to fight and they could just take away the championship trophy.
Ying Baiwu wasn't just strong in archery. Her body technique was so powerful that it caused people to feel despair. Many people felt that as long as they got close to her and held her back, they would win for sure. In the end, they were beaten into pig heads by Ying Baiwu.
These people didn't think about it. Ying Baiwu practiced the bow because her aptitude was better. However, this didn't mean that her other aptitude was inferior.
Moreover, even if her aptitude was inferior, after learning so many peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts from Sun Mo, Ying Baiwu had long since become a monster.
Strictly speaking, if the arena was large enough, Ying Baiwu's chances of winning would definitely be higher.
In the second round, Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu won without any suspense. When it was Helian Beifang's turn, he encountered Yuan Yuan and the two of them fought to the point where it was like Mars colliding with Earth.
Helian Beifang had been holding in his breath since long ago, wanting to crush this dark horse. Hence, at the start of the competition, he immediately attacked with a quick blade. However, he didn't gain any advantage. Hence, he decisively switched from offense to defense.
Yuan Yuan's silver spear was like the horn of an ancient gigantic beast. It carried the aura of death and kept on piercing out.
Cheers rang out unceasingly in the entire arena.
The spectators were mesmerized as they watched. As for the great teachers, all of them fell silent.
Why was a guy from the plains so strong?
In this era, Sun Mo was an influential character in the great teacher world. He was someone that everyone paid close attention to. Hence, the information of his personal disciples was dug out.
Helian Beifang liked military affairs and would usually stay in the library. In his free time, he also liked to find people to play military flag deduction.
Cultivation?
It was just a normal amount of training!
But from the looks of it now, Sun Mo's normal amount of training was sufficient to fight against the strongest dark horse.
"Barbarian, you've successfully roused my killing intent!"
Yuan Yuan stared at Helian Beifang and revealed a malevolent smile. "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
The battle of heroes wasn't a life-and-death battle, but it was inevitable for accidental injuries to occur. Hence, as long as one didn't intentionally kill someone, they would be responsible for their own life and death.
"Do you think that your Grandpa Helian is someone who grows up scared?"
Helian Beifang's lips twitched.
Yuan Yuan's body swayed and he directly split into two clones. Three against one, surrounding Sun Mo.
Gale-Stepping Horse!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The spear's blade pierced out, filling up the sky like a silver cocoon, drowning Helian Beifang.
"Ahh!"
Lu Zhiruo screamed in fright and grabbed Sun Mo's arm tightly. This attack was so terrifying!
All of a sudden, a silver light flashed. Helian Beifang's quick blade slashed through the 'spear shadow cocoon'. He didn't counterattack but kept on retreating until he reached the edge of the arena.
Hu! Hu!
Helian Beifang panted heavily. His expression was heavy as he sank into a dilemma.
What he was most proficient in was the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture. If he used it, he might still have a chance of winning. However, this cultivation art was the ultimate divine art of the Dragon Subduing Academy. Once he used it, it would bring great trouble to his teacher.
"You're the first opponent to receive my Gale Annihilation ever since I started cultivating. However, you'll die in my next move."
Yuan Yuan wasn't anxious. A good opponent had to be killed slowly!
Helian Beifang looked toward Sun Mo, his meaning clear. (What should I do?)
Sun Mo smiled. "Don't care too much. If you want to win, just use it. As for the trouble, I'll settle it!"
The various famous schools, aristocratic families, and clans in the Nine Provinces only had one solution to those who secretly learned their cultivation arts. That was to kill them and chase them to the ends of the world.
If it was the Sun Mo in the past, even if he had comprehended the cultivation art himself, he wouldn't dare to use it. It was because the Dragon Subduing Academy wouldn't listen to his explanation and would directly force him to submit.
But now, with Sun Mo's strength, the academy didn't dare to act recklessly anymore.
"Moreover, I'm hugging onto a saint and two secondary saints!"
Sun Mo was very calm.
What was a great teacher in the Nine Provinces?
This was!
Sun Mo wanted to cross his arms before his chest and lean back, putting on a condescending pose.
"Mn!"
Helian Beifang nodded and then rushed toward Yuan Yuan. Just when he was about to get close, he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a bellow.
Roar!
It was like the roar of an ancient ferocious beast, bringing along a soul pressure, causing Yuan Yuan to be in a momentary daze. His body stiffened and he couldn't move.
"Eat my blade!"
Helian Beifang killed!
Thunder Descend!
The quick blade brought along electric arcs and slashed down.
Boom!
"What?"
No one had expected Helian Beifang to erupt so fiercely. However, some great teachers who had seen the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture before had astonished looks on their faces.
(This cultivation art looks a little familiar, right?)
"We won!"
Xianyu Wei waved her fist excitedly.
Senior Helian's blade was so fast that it could block Senior Sister Ying's arrows. Moreover, Helian Beifang couldn't move. This time around, it was definitely a win.
Just when the other Calabash Brothers heaved a sigh of relief and were about to applaud and congratulate, a sudden change occurred.
Yuan Yuan couldn't move, but the silver spear in his hand strangely flew out. It was like a venomous snake biting, accurately nailing onto the blade.
Ding!
A crisp sound rang out.
"Mn?"
Helian Beifang's eyes narrowed and he slashed out.
Swoosh!
The quick blade slashed toward Yuan Yuan's neck.
Ssss!
Fresh blood splattered. Yuan Yuan raised his hand in time and blocked this attack. However, his arm was slashed and his skin and flesh were lacerated.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Helian Beifang somersaulted in the air and pulled apart the distance between them.
Yuan Yuan stared at Helian Beifang, lifted his arm, and licked his wound. His gaze was exceptionally malevolent. "Very good, you are the first person to injure me. I've decided to slowly torture you."
"Judge, he is so fierce. Are you not going to do anything?"
Helian Beifang raised his hand.
"If he does anything overboard, we will stop him."
The judge rebutted Helian Beifang.
Helian Beifang's words and psychological pressure were all permitted tactics.
"Alright, I'll give up then!"
Helian Beifang shrugged and jumped down from the arena.
"Mn?"
Yuan Yuan was stunned. He had been accumulating power, but this time around, it was as if he had punched the air. There was no need to mention how uncomfortable he felt.
"Scram back here!"
Yuan Yuan roared. (You want to run after gaining an advantage?
No way!)
Helian Beifang picked his ears and had a frivolous expression. However, after returning to Sun Mo's side, he immediately retracted his expression and lowered his head to admit his mistake.
"Teacher, I'm sorry. I've embarrassed you!"
"It's fine. Knowing when to stop is also a form of growth!"
Sun Mo consoled.
"Trash!"
Xuanyuan Po spoke in disdain.
"Be careful, that fellow is very powerful!"
Helian Beifang reminded, "When I was fighting against him, I felt that many eyes were staring at me. I'm like a cub being targeted by a ferocious beast. It feels very uncomfortable!"
Swoosh!
Everyone looked toward Sun Mo, waiting for an answer.
"Helian forced him to use his true trump card, but I won't tell you guys now. Xuanyuan, go and experience it yourself!"
Sun Mo wanted the combat addict to grow through tempering.
Li Ziqi's seat was at the great teacher viewing platform. When the people in the surroundings heard this, they immediately rolled their eyes.
(Is there anyone who keeps us hanging like this?)
(However, this fellow is so arrogant!)
Other participants would want nothing more than to dig out all the information about their opponents in order to get a higher ranking. Yet, Sun Mo didn't even say anything even though he knew.
Could this be self-confidence?
Qin Yaoguang moved to Sun Mo's side and used her finger to cover her lips. "Teacher, tell me secretly. I guarantee that I won't tell anyone else."
Sun Mo naturally wouldn't say anything.
At this moment, the audience below the arena also reacted and all of them started booing.
They had been anticipating a great battle, but in the end, Helian Beifang cowered. How preposterous!
"Teacher!"
Helian Beifang felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't mind those gazes. How much gossip do you have to listen to in life? If you took it to heart, you would have long since been crushed to death. "
Sun Mo consoled, "Just focus on walking your own path. Success is the best response to those who doubt you."
Bzz!
Priceless Advice was activated.
Golden light spots shot out in all directions, radiating out to the entire central square.
In an instant, everyone was alarmed.
"That's Great Teacher Sun, right? As expected, he has the face of someone who sponges off a woman. "
"Isn't the range of this halo a little too big?"
"I really want to sit down and listen to Great Teacher Sun's teachings!"
The spectators discussed. Without exception, all of them revealed envious expressions.
Right now, Sun Mo's personal disciple status was hard to get even with money!
