Sun Mo's challenge caused the atmosphere of the scene to heat up.
Ordinary people didn't care about right or wrong. They were just here to watch a show. They were like those spectators who would cheer for the other party to jump when they saw someone jumping off a building. They shouted loudly, asking the judge to step down.
However, the great teachers knew that there was an 80 to 90% chance that a fight wouldn't happen.
The judge was over 300 years old and was over ten times older than Sun Mo. It was normal for him to win, but if he lost, he would lose all his face.
No one would do such an arduous and unrewarding thing.
"Saint Yang, let's go. We mustn't let the situation continue to worsen!"
Hu Xingjiang took the lead and leaped onto the stage. He clasped his fists and bowed. "Everyone, please calm down. If you have anything to say, let's talk after we return to the Saint Gate!"
Hu Xingjiang's thoughts were very simple. He wanted to prevent Sun Mo from being watched by others. The fewer people who knew about something, the higher the possibility of it being done secretly.
"Damn it, my teacher is already dead. If Sun Mo doesn't give everyone an explanation today, he can forget about going anywhere!"
"The race of darkness is a heretic. Sun Mo is protecting it and that makes him a heretic. If his character is bad, so what if he has a thousand talents? Kill him! "
"That's right, kill him!"
Zhang Zechun's personal disciples cried out in grief. In order to take revenge for their teacher, they didn't mind even if they had to die.
"This is a life-and-death battle. If he dies, it's because his skills are inferior!"
Li Ziqi cursed angrily and even activated Profound Words. After all, she had been the emperor for so many years and would often speak the truth. Hence, she comprehended Profound Words first. "If you guys are unhappy, come and fight me to the death!"
"Ziqi, why don't you say less?"
Hu Xingjiang persuaded, "And you guys, stop shouting too. It's useless!"
"Who do you think you are?"
"Scram to the side and eat shit!"
"F * ck off!"
Zhang Zechun's disciples directly spat.
Because of his experiences in his early years, Hu Xingjiang didn't like the great teacher world. Hence, he hid in the Desperation Prison to wait for death. If it wasn't for him being moved by Sun Mo's words, he wouldn't have come out.
Hence, even though he was a secondary saint, he wasn't arrogant. Even the great teacher robe he was wearing was washed so many times that it had turned white. He didn't pursue ostentatiousness.
When these disciples saw Hu Xingjiang's attire, they felt contempt in their hearts. From their point of view, this great teacher must be doing very poorly.
Hu Xingjiang did not reprimand these students for looking down on him. Instead, he sighed and removed the halo of 'obscurity' from his body.
A wondrous fragrance immediately wafted through the air, making anyone who smelled it feel happy and dispel all their fatigue.
"Second … Second Sage?"
The great teachers widened their eyes and assessed Hu Xingjiang with dumbfounded looks on their faces.
Who was this guy?
Why did a Quasi-saint suddenly pop out?
This kind of body fragrance was the hallmark of a secondary saint. It could disperse mosquitoes, prevent poisonous miasma from invading, and allow one's spirit to be stimulated, allowing them to be in the best learning state.
There were too few saints, and it was too difficult to advance to the next level. Therefore, those who could become secondary saints were existences at the pinnacle of the great teacher world of the Nine Provinces. Every one of them was an academic powerhouse. With just a stomp of their feet, the entire great teacher world would tremble.
However, he had never heard of this person before.
"Old Hu?"
Some of the older great teachers recognized Hu Xingjiang.
Recently, everyone's attention had been attracted by the number one hero battle of the Nine Provinces. They only knew that he had succeeded in ascending, but they hadn't found out the exact process.
The countenances of Zhang Zechun's disciples immediately turned pale.
Insulting a secondary saint was a heavy crime!
Luckily, Hu Xingjiang didn't want to argue with them.
"Everyone, if we continue to quarrel like this, the reputation of the great teacher occupation will be ruined. Let's go back to the Saint Gate and come to a conclusion, shall we?"
Hu Xingjiang persuaded earnestly. "I hope everyone can think of the bigger picture."
"What do you mean by bigger picture?"
The chief judge spoke harshly, "I don't care if you are a secondary saint or a saint. Today, I'm going to uphold justice. Killing the darkness species is a tradition of the Saint Gate, an iron law that protects the peace of the Nine Provinces. This is a principle set by our predecessors. How can it be something that you can refute with a single sentence?
"Also, we are great teachers. There's nothing we can't say to others. If we want to do it, we must do it openly. There's no need to be sneaky."
At this moment, the chief judge's expression was so holy that it was as if he was the incarnation of justice.
"Well said!"
A moment later, many spectators cried out loudly.
However, some great teachers frowned. Given the chief judge's star rank, if he truly felt this way, he should have activated Priceless Advice. However, he didn't. This meant that he had selfish motives.
(But if it was me, I would also want to suppress him and see him suffer.)
"What is tradition?"
A voice rang out. It wasn't loud, but it clearly spread through the entire square. Everyone felt as if this person was standing next to them and speaking.
"There are good and bad traditions. Everything in the world is developing. We can't always use the standards from 10,000 years ago to treat things now."
Yang Shizhan spoke.
Swoosh!
In the central square, tens of thousands of people turned their heads in unison and looked over.
This was the talent of saints. Even if they didn't cast any halos, their words would naturally attract the attention of others.
Secondary saints and saints had the ability to show their divinity before the masses. Hence, they would usually cast the great teacher halo of 'obscurity' on themselves to shield themselves from the saints' phenomena.
After all, they didn't wish to always attract attention and be looked at like monkeys.
Being unknown meant being ordinary. It represented that no matter how high one stood in life, no matter how high one's achievements were, they still regarded themselves as ordinary people.
Yang Shizhan walked toward the arena.
There were many people in front and the arena was very high. If it was an ordinary person, they would have to climb or leap to reach it. However, Yang Shizhan directly walked up.
With every step he took, a lotus flower would bloom under his feet, supporting his body perfectly in the air.
"He can fly too!"
"Fool, that's Lotus Birth Step by Step!"
"My heavens, he is a saint!"
The spectators were stunned. Some great teachers subconsciously bowed even though they knew Yang Shizhan couldn't see them.
It wasn't just Lotus Birth Step by Step. As Yang Shizhan removed the silent halo, spirit qi gathered in the direction he was facing, forming many peach trees with pink petals that sheltered him from the scorching sun. After that, there were also plum trees that provided him with fragrant and sweet plums to quench his thirst.
This was the phenomenon of a saint, having students all over the world.
Only a true saint would have it, and it couldn't be faked. Therefore, all the great teachers present restrained their expressions and bowed.
"Rest in peace!"
"Dispense with the formalities!"
Yang Shizhan's expression didn't change, but he felt emotional in his heart. He had looked forward to this scene before, but after he entered the prison, he gave up.
He didn't expect that 200 years later, it would come true again.
It was simply like a dream!
As expected, he had to thank Sun Mo for all of this.
At the thought of this, Yang Shizhan's respect for Sun Mo grew even stronger.
"He seems to be from Sun Mo's group?"
Everyone was extremely shocked. A secondary saint was already very powerful to stand up for Sun Mo. Now, another saint had appeared?
Zhang Zechun's disciples were so frightened that they lowered their heads and shrank back. They wanted nothing more than to be like ostriches and bury their heads into the ground.
"Regarding how to deal with the darkness species in the future, I will bring up a proposal to the Saint Gate and request for a new discussion. Therefore, this matter shall be dropped today!"
Yang Shizhan didn't discuss whether the darkness species should be killed or not. Instead, he used the tactic of dragging things out.
The chief judge's lips twitched and he didn't retort anymore because the saint had the qualifications to do so. He could only obey. "I will obey the saint's decree."
After agreeing, the chief judge changed the topic. "But in order to prevent this darkness species from escaping, I suggest that the Saint Gate's guards imprison him."
"No way!"
Sun Mo immediately rejected. Who knew if these fellows would use private punishment?
Even if they didn't kill Xuanyuan Po, they could use some methods to cripple his body. In the future, let alone a silver spear, he probably wouldn't even be able to lift a walking stick.
Sun Mo had no choice but to guard against such a thing.
"Sun Mo, don't go overboard!"
The chief judge berated.
"You have also seen Teacher Sun's attitude. If this continues, there won't be any results. It won't look good on everyone's faces. Why don't we both take a step back?"
Yang Shizhan took the initiative to take over. "I will monitor Xuanyuan Po. If he escapes, I will take responsibility!"
The great teachers were dumbfounded. (What relationship do you have with Sun Mo? Why are you standing up for him?)
From their point of view, now that Xuanyuan Po's identity had been exposed, he would definitely run if there was a chance. It was because he would die if he didn't run!
However, the shock wasn't over yet because Yasheng Hu also spoke.
"I will also vouch for Xuanyuan Po!"
Yasheng glanced at the combat addict. "His spear art has already entered the 'dao' and he also has a kind of determination. I believe that such a person wouldn't run."
A saint and a secondary saint. When their voices were added together, the weight was extremely heavy. The chief judge didn't dare to persist and could only give up.
He had planned to send a group of guards to monitor the villa where Sun Mo's group was staying. However, in order to show respect to Yang Shizhan and Hu Xingjiang, he gave up.
After today's competition ended, it also meant that the number one hero battle of the Nine Provinces had completely ended.
After all, even if a member of the dark race wasn't executed, he wouldn't have a chance to participate in the championship battle.
Jiang Lengbai picked up a championship trophy, but he couldn't feel happy. Sun Mo was also unhappy.
No matter what, the topic of this year's hero battle was definitely the highest in the past. Sun Mo's name, his personal disciple dominating the rankings, and his identity as a dark race...
In any case, Sun Mo and his disciples were completely famous, the kind that everyone in the Nine Provinces knew about.
In the room, the calabash players were discussing.
"Teacher is in big trouble this time around!"
Qin Yaoguang felt a headache. "Dark races are taboo. In any case, I've never seen one who survived after being discovered."
"Although I don't like Xuanyuan, other than him being brainless, he didn't do anything bad!"
Tantai Yutang shrugged.
"This is a racial issue!"
Jiang Leng rolled his eyes. "It has nothing to do with good or bad."
"If Teacher wants to protect Xuanyuan, he'll definitely pay a great price!"
Helian Beifang analyzed. "Moreover, he might not succeed."
"Aren't Saint Yang and Secondary Saint Hu speaking up for us?"
Xianyu Wei was hopeful.
"You can't possibly think that the status of all saints is the same, right?"
Qin Yaoguang sighed. "These two have left the mainstream great teacher world for too long and don't have any allies. If other saints were to participate, they wouldn't be enough."
"In any case, Secondary Saint Zhou will definitely come and cause trouble!"
Ying Baiwu played with a dagger. "What's going on with that chief judge? Why is he always targeting Teacher? "
The iron-headed young girl wanted to kill him.
"I feel that we should keep an eye on Xuanyuan first. If that guy escapes, things will be even more troublesome."
The sickly invalid stood up and prepared to accompany the combat addict.
"I'll go with you!"
Helian Beifang gripped the hilt of his blade tightly. If this guy wanted to escape, then don't blame him for being impolite.
In any case, he would protect his teacher first before protecting Xuanyuan Po.
