"Xuanyuan?"
Sun Mo stared at the man at the end of the line. He should be Xuanyuan Po. His appearance didn't change much, but his disposition had changed a lot.
In the past, Xuanyuan Po was a battle maniac who only cared about fighting and cultivating. He was impulsive and irritable, not thinking about the bigger picture.
But now, he was much calmer and had the demeanor of a great general.
He was riding on a maroon warhorse. This mount should have the bloodline of a dark beast. It was at least twice the size of the others, but under Xuanyuan Po's body, it didn't seem tall, because he was just too strong.
The long silver spear was hung beside the saddle, polished to a dazzling shine.
"Teacher Xuanyuan!"
There were girls on both sides waving at Xuanyuan Po.
The combat addict still didn't know how to express his emotions. He kept a straight face like a stone statue, but this actually suited his image very well.
Sun Mo thought of Lu Bu of Hulao Pass, fighting against eighteen feudal vassals alone. The current Xuanyuan Po had the disposition of a fierce general.
"I didn't expect Xuanyuan to be so reliable!"
Sun Mo felt a little gratified. His child had finally grown up. He didn't call out to the combat addict but started to applaud. The glory of this moment belonged to the combat addict.
However, Sun Mo still underestimated Xuanyuan Po's sixth sense.
Xuanyuan Po, who was sitting on his horse, reflected on the gains and losses of the land clearing operation. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the crowd.
"Why do I feel like I heard the teacher's applause?"
Xuanyuan Po's ears pricked up. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he swept his gaze across the crowd. After a few rounds, he saw that respectful figure.
"Teacher!"
Xuanyuan Po let out a loud shout and hurriedly got off his horse, taking large strides toward Sun Mo.
"What's going on? Why is Master Xuanyuan so excited? "
"Who is he calling teacher?"
"Teacher Xuanyuan's personal teacher seems to be from the Nine Prefectures, right?"
The students were confused.
Those students who were standing in front of Sun Mo and blocking Xuanyuan Po's path hurriedly gave way when they saw him rushing over like a war chariot.
Hence, Sun Mo revealed himself.
"Teacher!"
Xuanyuan rushed to Sun Mo and knelt down with a thud. After that, he kowtowed to Sun Mo nine times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Get up. You're a teacher now, so you should maintain your poise in front of your students. There's no need to be so polite!"
Sun Mo pulled Xuanyuan Po up.
"Teacher, why did you come to the Darkness Continent?"
Xuanyuan Po secretly surveyed Sun Mo, feeling very agitated. He could learn from his teacher again!
Mhm, after not seeing him for so many years, his teacher had become even more refined and steady. His every action was filled with the elegance of a grandmaster.
"I came to look for you and Baiwu!"
Sun Mo explained, "Let's talk about some things after you're done with your work!"
Sun Mo indicated for Xuanyuan Po to quickly return to the group. Everyone was still waiting for him.
The combat addict turned around and realized that the team had stopped and were all looking at him.
It couldn't be helped. Xuanyuan Po was the leader. With him doing this, everyone naturally stopped.
"Alright!"
After Xuanyuan Po returned to the team, he urged everyone to quickly enter the school and complete the handover.
Half an hour later, Xuanyuan Po found Sun Mo again.
"What happened to Junior Sister Baiwu?"
Xuanyuan Po's expression was solemn.
Sun Mo explained.
"Ah? She's the daughter of the Lord of Dawn? "
Xuanyuan Po was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't the difference in status between the two of them too great?
He didn't forget what kind of life Ying Baiwu had led in the past. This was like an emperor's daughter begging for food. It was too magical.
"Sigh, it's a long story!"
Sun Mo sighed.
"I'll do my best too."
Xuanyuan Po guaranteed.
"You're also starting to have a sense of responsibility!"
Sun Mo wanted to pat Xuanyuan Po's shoulder, but he soon stopped because this guy's height seemed to have exceeded two meters.
"Hehe!"
Xuanyuan Po scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Men have to grow up eventually!"
After saying this, Xuanyuan Po had the intention to kneel down and kowtow to Sun Mo.
Sun Mo's reaction was fast and he pulled him back. "Let's talk properly. You know that I don't care about such superficial etiquette!"
"When I was young, I was immature and gave Teacher a lot of trouble."
Xuanyuan Po apologized.
During these years in the Starry Academy, Xuanyuan Po's mentality grew increasingly mature. This was especially so after he became a teacher and started to teach students. Only then did he understand how lucky he was to be able to meet Sun Mo.
Although his talent wasn't bad, if it wasn't for Sun Mo's meticulous guidance, he wouldn't have his current achievements.
The headmaster had said before that under Sun Mo's tutelage, he didn't take any detours on his path. This was his great fortune.
"I'm your teacher. It's only right for me to tolerate you!"
Sun Mo smiled.
"Teacher, what realm are you at now?"
Xuanyuan Po chatted a little and couldn't help but change the topic to combat. He felt a little itchy.
"Ninth level of the Longevity Realm!"
During these few years, Sun Mo had been roaming the dangerous Darkness Continent and had accumulated a lot of combat experience. In order to protect the Calabash Brothers, he had also put in a lot of effort in his cultivation. Hence, his improvement was very fast.
"..."
Xuanyuan Po was astonished.
He had thought that his cultivation base would surpass Sun Mo's, but he didn't expect that it would actually be a tie. One must know that other than his cultivation base, Sun Mo also had extremely high achievements in the academic field.
"You are ten years younger than me. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Sun Mo rolled his eyes.
"What star rank are you at now?"
Xuanyuan Po was curious.
"8 star!"
Sun Mo didn't hide anything.
"..."
Xuanyuan Po suddenly didn't want to talk to Sun Mo anymore. In fact, he even wanted to use his silver paste to poke two large holes in Sun Mo's body.
(If you are so amazing, how are others supposed to live?)
As someone who had lived in the Central Province Academy for over ten years, Xuanyuan Po deeply understood the meaning of the title of an 8-star great teacher.
For many great teachers, if they could stand at the doorstep of an 8-star great teacher at the final moment of their lives, they would die without regrets.
It was because it was too difficult to advance to secondary saint.
In the Nine Greats, an 8-star great teacher was considered a tycoon and had great influence.
What was more terrifying was that his teacher wasn't even 40 years old yet. This meant that his future potential was immense.
"Tell me about your situation."
Sun Mo suggested.
"We'll talk about this later. Teacher, why don't we go for a spar?"
Xuanyuan Po carefully begged.
"Alright!"
Sun Mo also wanted to see the combat addict's current standard.
"Let's go to the Battle Hall. That is my territory!"
As the teacher with the best fighting ability in the Starry Academy, Xuanyuan Po naturally took on the role of a martial arts instructor in the Battle Hall.
...
"Quickly go to the Battle Hall. Teacher Xuanyuan wants to spar with Teacher Sun!"
Both Sun Mo and Xuanyuan Po were famous people in this school. Hence, if they went to the Battle Hall together, they would naturally be targeted. Very soon, this news spread like wildfire.
"Teacher, please!"
Xuanyuan Po also learned to be polite and let Sun Mo go up the stage first.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo floated up and landed on the stage.
"Teacher Xuanyuan, aren't you bullying him?"
Some girls were unhappy. Xuanyuan Po was famous for being good at fighting. This fellow had once arrogantly challenged all the teachers in the school. Moreover, he didn't reject anyone who challenged him.
"You like my teacher?"
Xuanyuan Po was joyful. "Let me tell you in advance, there's no chance!"
"Teacher Xuanyuan is so annoying!"
The girl had an embarrassed look on her face and pouted.
Everyone also felt that it was unfair. From their point of view, Sun Mo's academic standard was so high and he must have spent a lot of time studying. In that case, in terms of cultivation, he would surely be inferior to Xuanyuan Po.
"You guys are really worrying for nothing. When my teacher was young, it was a common occurrence for him to jump levels and kill enemies. Now, he's even at the ninth level of the Longevity Realm. Therefore, he'll definitely win against experts at the Upper Mysterious Realm!"
As soon as Xuanyuan Po finished speaking, the entire place went completely silent, leaving behind only dumbfounded faces.
"Hmm?"
Xuanyuan Po frowned, "You guys don't believe me?"
"You're boasting too much!"
The students all whistled to boo him.
The learning style of this Dark Elite School was relatively open, and they didn't pay much attention to secular etiquette. After all, survival was the most important thing here.
"Haha, to be honest, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it either!"
Xuanyuan Po laughed heartily and stopped talking nonsense. "Teacher, can we start now?"
"En!"
Sun Mo nodded. The combat addict immediately rushed over impatiently. With a shake of his silver spear, spear sparks filled the sky.
Pear Blossom in Torrential Rain, Scattered Stars!
Wow!
The students cheered. No matter how many times they saw their teacher's spear arts, they were always so excited that they couldn't help but want to pee.
"Not bad!"
Sun Mo slashed out.
Whoosh!
The wooden saber was like a hurricane blowing past, like rain hitting a banana leaf, sweeping all the spear sparks into a pile of old paper.
"Ah?"
The students exclaimed in shock. Teacher Sun was actually so impressive?
He broke Teacher Xuanyuan's Saint-tier spear technique with one strike?
Could it be that Xuanyuan Po was going easy on him?
Because Sun Mo's moves were too natural and looked very ordinary, the students couldn't tell if he was strong or not!
"Haha, seeing that Teacher is still strong despite his age, I can attack with all my might!"
Xuanyuan Po was worried that Sun Mo's cultivation base had reached the required level but was lacking in experience. From the looks of things now, he had worried too much. Hence, he went all out.
"I'm not even forty yet!"
Sun Mo mentally mused, (I don't even have a son yet, yet you dare to say that I'm old?)
I have to teach you a lesson!
Hence, Sun Mo took the initiative and quickly attacked.
Heavenly Sword Art, Shocking Gods and Destroying Immortals!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Although Sun Mo was using a wooden saber, the sword qi permeated the air like a thousand piles of snow. The students who were near the stage couldn't withstand the pressure from his sword prowess and all retreated. In the blink of an eye, a large space was cleared.
Xuanyuan Po's personality was still the same as before, fighting to the death without retreating.
The two of them's magnificent and wild attacks caused the spectators to be mesmerized. The cheers came in waves.
All of a sudden, Sun Mo switched from offense to defense.
He displayed the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art and was as unmoving as a mountain, receiving all of Xuanyuan Po's attacks steadily.
"Is this your full strength?"
Sun Mo provoked.
Blazing Prairie Blaze, Heaven and Earth Smelt.
Xuanyuan Po directly accumulated his strength and unleashed his ultimate move.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
On the stage, fist-sized sparks started to appear. The temperature rose rapidly, making people feel as if they had been thrown into a furnace.
"Damn, Teacher Xuanyuan is going to unleash his ultimate move. Quickly run!"
Some of the higher-year students who had seen this ultimate technique before immediately cried out. Their countenances were filled with terror as they ran out. The teachers weren't calm either. Some of them hurriedly urged the students to move out of the battle hall, while some of them started cursing.
"Xuanyuan, what the hell are you doing? Quickly stop!"
"Teacher Sun is the school's treasure. If you injure him, the headmaster will definitely make sure you bear the consequences!"
"Teacher Sun, quickly dodge. Don't take it head-on!"
Before the voice finished speaking, Xuanyuan Po's ultimate move had already been unleashed.
Boom!
In the air, a huge flaming cauldron appeared above and below Sun Mo's head and feet. They rapidly closed together, wanting to trap Sun Mo.
Sun Mo could teleport and take the damage in his place. However, when he saw that this ultimate move was stronger, he wanted to take it head-on.
Paying someone back in their own coin!
Swish!
As Sun Mo waved his saber, the flames in the furnace were extinguished like a tsunami, vanishing without a trace. After that, a flaming furnace appeared beside Xuanyuan Po.
"..."
Everyone was in a daze.
What cultivation art was Sun Mo using?
Wasn't it too amazing?
After Xuanyuan Po broke through this move, his battle intent surged and he unleashed another ultimate move.
The students quietened down and gathered again. They no longer fled because they discovered that Sun Mo was very stable.
Half an hour later, this battle ended.
Everyone gave a round of applause that lasted for a long time.
"It's actually a draw. Teacher Sun is so amazing!"
Other than martial arts, Sun Mo also taught spirit runes and botany. Hence, his overall strength was stronger than Xuanyuan Po.
"Which eye of yours saw that it's a draw? This is clearly Teacher Sun fighting a guidance battle! "
Some teachers were speechless.
The entire process of the battle was within Sun Mo's control. He was simply doing it with ease. This naturally had something to do with his cultivation art.
He knew too many things, and all of them were top-notch.
"Teacher, if you are free, why don't you come to the battle hall to give them some guidance?"
Xuanyuan Po sincerely asked.
After this battle, Sun Mo's fame surged once again. No one would have expected that Teacher Sun, who seemed to be an academic, was actually so good at fighting.
Before this, no one thought of understanding Sun Mo's identity. After all, the majority of great teachers who came to the Darkness Continent were exiles and had committed crimes before. This was a taboo that no one wanted to bring up in case everyone felt awkward.
However, Xuanyuan Po was publicly acknowledged as the Astral Spear God and was extremely famous. After the matter of him being Sun Mo's personal disciple was exposed, everyone knew of Sun Mo's origin.
This man who wasn't even 40 years old was actually an 8-star great teacher. This meant that he was a dual ancestor-level great teacher and had over 25 great teacher halos. This also meant that he was only a step away from becoming a secondary saint.
In any case, he was an amazing person.
In the entire school, the number of people who were stronger than him didn't exceed one hand.
"After Teacher Sun found his disciple, would he leave this place?"
"That's for sure. He wasn't exiled and is also a top-notch academic tycoon in the Nine Provinces. Why would he suffer here?"
When the students thought of this, their moods became very gloomy. However, they still called their friends to help him search for Ying Baiwu.
There were many people listening to Sun Mo's lecture to begin with. Now, it was completely packed. After all, the title of an ancestor-level great teacher was the strongest signboard.
A few days later, Xuanyuan Po came to treat Sun Mo to a meal in the evening.
"When did you learn to be so polite as well?"
Sun Mo teased. "If you have something to say, just say it directly!"
"Teacher!"
Xuanyuan Po knelt down. "I wish to ask you to help us, the darkness aboriginals!"
