The 'weak student' chosen by Sun Mo was called Bai Xiaoquan. He was 15 years old this year and was a weakling at the third level of the body-refinement realm. Because his family was rich, he had to pay a high sponsorship fee to enter a famous school.
With the Bai family's financial resources, even if they couldn't afford heavenly treasures, they could still soak in the medicinal bath every day. Unfortunately, there was no improvement.
Over time, Father Bai gave up on his son.
Right now, Bai Xiaoquan had been chosen by Sun Mo, but Bai Xiaoquan's father wasn't happy at all. It was because his son was too useless and there was an 80 to 90% chance that he would be returned.
"Leave him to me. Don't worry!"
Sun Mo consoled.
The name of the third student was Shang Li. His father was a master teacher, and his name was Shang Han.
"I've asked around. That girl is called Gongsun Huiying. She's a talented junior of the Gongsun family. My son is definitely no match for her."
Shang Han's voice was very soft and he didn't even dare to look at Sun Mo. The meaning of his words was to give Sun Mo a heads-up in case his son would be blamed if he lost.
"Don't worry, leave your son to me!"
Sun Mo consoled.
Seeing that Sun Mo was so easy to talk to, Shang Han felt a little overwhelmed by the favor. After all, he was merely a 3-star and had no status before a secondary saint like Sun Mo.
"Although the duel in three months concerns my reputation, it also concerns your futures. After all, everyone will be watching that stage. If you win, you will become famous. If you lose, you will become a laughingstock!"
Sun Mo's tone suddenly became stern. "Therefore, during this period of time, you have to focus and work hard to improve yourself."
The three new disciples immediately agreed.
The special training began.
With regards to Briquet, Sun Mo imparted the peerless-grade saint-tier Undying Mystic Art to her. Maybe because she was used to seeing life and death, Briquet was able to grasp this cultivation art very easily. In just two days, she had already succeeded in the body-refinement realm and had reached the first level of the Undying Mystic Art.
After correcting some of Briquet's bad habits, Sun Mo had nothing else to teach her.
After all, Briquet was only twelve years old and was still a newbie. She wouldn't be able to accept too much, but Briquet was very hardworking.
Her diligent training everyday caused Sun Mo to recall the iron-headed young girl from back then.
As for Bai Xiaoquan, Sun Mo gave him another round of detailed examination. He was even more certain that Bai Xiaoquan's perception and vision were extremely sharp.
"You are a natural-born archery master!"
Sun Mo praised.
"Ah?"
Although he had obtained Sun Mo's recognition, Bai Xiaoquan wasn't happy. It was because he wanted to be a sword saint.
"How can everything in this world go as one wishes?"
Sun Mo sighed. "Either you waste your life away, or you gain some achievements in archery!"
"I … I choose archery!"
In the end, Bai Xiaoquan compromised. It was better to be an archer than to be looked down upon.
"However, although I have a Peerless Saint Grade Archery Technique, I will not teach it to you!"
Sun Mo smiled.
"Ah?"
Bai Xiaoquan was stunned. "Why?"
"Because times have changed!"
Sun Mo joked and then began to impart a new combat technique to Bai Xiaoquan.
…
When Sun Mo came out of the training ground, a few personal disciples came up to welcome him.
"Teacher, is this okay?"
Qin Yaoguang had always been impolite, so she said whatever she had to say.
"Of course!"
Sun Mo was very certain. "Technology is the number one battle strength!"
"Teacher, how can you tell that he has talent in archery?"
Lu Zhiruo took out a small notebook and prepared to record her experience.
"Hey, hey, hey. Your Junior Sister is an Archery God. You don't even know that?"
Tantai Yutang teased.
"That day, I noticed that Bai Xiaoquan could find his parents in the crowded crowd with a single glance. Moreover, he picked a piece of his nose and flicked it out, hitting a fly."
Sun Mo explained.
"..."
The Calabash Brothers were stunned.
"Teacher, isn't your observation ability a little too meticulous?"
Lu Zhiruo felt despair. She wouldn't be able to learn this technique in her entire life.
Sun Mo had many peak-grade cultivation arts, but he couldn't see any results in three months. Hence, he let Shang Han continue to practice his Bodhi Blade Art, correcting his bad habits and changing some moves to increase their prowess. At the same time, he could optimize his battle tactics.
"This move can be changed?"
When Shang Han saw that Sun Mo had changed the cultivation art he had been practicing for over ten years, he had a skeptical attitude. However, he soon discovered that the prowess of his moves had increased. This caused him to be shocked.
"Why not?"
Sun Mo smiled. "All cultivation arts are invented by our predecessors!"
Saint Zhou and Sun Mo closed their doors to teach their students and didn't receive any visitors. It was as if they were isolated from the world, but the outside world was in an uproar.
Many people felt that Sun Mo would be in trouble this time around.
For the first round, the son of the butcher was burly and muscular. No matter how one looked at it, he was much stronger than a little girl who dug coal. After all, the former often ate meat and had a good body. However, the latter was clearly malnourished and often didn't have enough to eat. Moreover, she had to do heavy physical labor. It was already not bad that she didn't die of exhaustion.
For the second round, the students were all rookies. Most probably, they had to work hard.
For the third round, Gongsun Huiying would definitely win. The Gongsun Clan's sword dance was the finale of the various banquets. Without this sword dance, the quality of the banquets would drop a lot.
As for the student Sun Mo had chosen, his background was dug out. Although his father was a 3-star great teacher and was stronger than ordinary people, he wasn't strong enough when compared to Gongsun Huiying.
The final results of the various underground gambling houses also showed that they didn't think highly of Sun Mo.
Under such intense and busy teaching and cultivation, three months passed by in the blink of an eye. Exquisite!
For this great battle between saints, the Saint Gate allocated funds and rebuilt the arena. They even added temporary seats in the surroundings so that the nobles could have a better viewing experience.
Naturally, if one wanted to sit on the seats, they had to pay!
The better the seat, the higher the price.
However, the Saint Gate didn't want this money. They would donate it all to support those poor students.
Because Xu Chunbo's legs were inconvenient, he couldn't host the competition. Hence, the 7-star great teacher Li Wanjun took over. After all, his reputation was great enough. In the end, the moment he went up the stage, he immediately announced this matter.
"Everyone should thank Sun Yasheng. This is his idea!"
Li Wanjun's words directly caused a commotion among the audience. Those nobles who had spent a lot of money to buy seats suddenly felt that it wasn't a waste to sit on the seats.
Saint Zhou's face immediately turned black. What did this mean?
Wasn't Sun Mo the sect leader? Did he already have the authority of a sect leader?
Moreover, didn't this show that he was very useless?
"The weather today is sunny and there's no wind. It's a good day for a duel. In that case, let's not delay and start the first battle!"
Li Wanjun went straight to the point.
"The two contestants participating in the first round, please come up the stage!"
The black pig walked up the stage with a majestic gait. After three months of training and recuperation, his figure was even more majestic and had a little resemblance to the Ten Thousand Human Butcher.
He was wearing a warrior's attire and wielded a large blade with golden rings.
"Because this is a competition of individual strength, armor is not allowed. Weapons are only ordinary blades, spears, swords, and halberds!"
Li Wanjun explained and introduced the two contestants.
Briquet was wielding a dagger. He walked to the front of the stage and did a somersault before jumping up. He was as lively as a monkey.
"Don't let him get close to you!"
Saint Zhou glanced at Briquet and reminded him.
This was allowed. According to the rules, personal teachers could give pointers during the battle.
"Although I'm a pig killer, I'm also proficient in killing chickens!"
The black pig laughed. Usually, when he was catching chickens at home, he just needed to throw his butcher knife out and he would be able to stab them.
Briquet's lips twitched.
"The two of you, please pay your respects!"
Li Wanjun indicated for the two of them to stand 20 meters apart.
"Duan Chu, 3rd level of the body-refinement realm. Please guide me!"
Si ~
Everyone was shocked when they heard this cultivation level. Three levels in three months, wasn't this too amazing?
"He must have taken some medicine!"
Someone guessed that given Saint Zhou's background, it wouldn't be a problem for him to obtain some heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures to nurture others.
"Wang Xiaohua, 2nd level of the body-refinement realm. Please guide me!"
Huo!
After hearing Briquet's introduction, everyone was shocked. This person wasn't bad either!
With Sun Mo's ancient massage technique and various medicinal packets, it was a piece of cake for him to reach the 2nd level of the body-refinement realm. If it wasn't for the fact that Briquet was too tired in her early years and injured some of her life source, she could also reach the 3rd level of the body-refinement realm.
"That black pig must have taken medicine!"
Qin Yaoguang spoke in disdain.
"Don't talk nonsense. Saint Zhou still has this bit of integrity!"
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and looked at Duan Chu's data. Duan Chu didn't take any medicine, but her aptitude was already so outstanding.
"Teacher, watch carefully. I'll insta-kill her!"
The black pig roared. With a step forward, he was like an angry wild boar, pouncing toward Briquet. The golden blade that was over two meters long and weighed 150 kilograms danced in his hands as easily as a bean sprout.
One must know that the bigger a weapon was, the more cumbersome it would be. This would give the enemy loopholes to exploit. However, the black pig didn't. The golden blade was like a gust of wind.
Briquet rolled and immediately dodged the attack.
The black pig chased after it.
Briquet tried to fight back in close combat, but there was no chance at all. The opponent's blade was impenetrable.
"Let's wait for him to tire then!"
Briquet started to swim away.
"Haha!"
Saint Zhou saw Briquet dodging and guessed her battle strategy. He couldn't help but remind, "It's useless. His stamina is great and his spirit qi reserves far surpass those of his age. He can swing his blade for half an hour without showing any signs of weakness. But you, can you persist for that long?"
"You're lying!"
Briquet shouted arrogantly.
When the black pig heard his teacher's praise, in addition to Briquet's disdain, he immediately went all out and attacked even harder.
Five minutes passed!
Although Briquet was surrounded by danger a few times, she managed to dodge all of them.
Saint Zhou's expression sank and he couldn't help but scold, "One battle strategy is useless, can't you change it?"
Sigh!
Although the black pig's aptitude was better, his brain was a little weaker.
"Saint Zhou has given a new instruction!"
Li Wanjun took on the role of the host.
This sentence caused Saint Zhou to be infuriated. If he kept giving pointers, didn't that mean that his student's ability to deal with the situation wasn't good enough?
Look at Sun Mo, he hadn't even said anything!
The black pig immediately defended but discovered that Sun Mo wasn't attacking at all. This caused him to be at a loss. Hence, he looked at Saint Zhou.
"Make your own decision!"
Saint Zhou didn't dare to give any more pointers.
