When the headmasters rushed to the finishing line, they saw that the new student group from the Central Province Academy had already arrived.
There were quite a number of students, but there were only three teachers. Moreover, one of them had lost both his hands and was being taken away on a stretcher by the Saint Gate's medical team.
"What about the species of darkness you guys captured?"
The main judge, Tong Yiming, and the four assistant judges formed a judging group. They were going to inspect Sun Mo's spoils of war.
Whether it was snatched or caught, as long as there was one, it was qualified.
"Shanyue has suffered a lot of casualties. They're probably going to withdraw from the competition. Send a medical team over to rescue them!"
Sun Mo kindly reminded.
"What did you say?"
When the principal of Shanyue heard this, his expression changed drastically. He felt that the school had been insulted.
Sun Mo shrugged and no longer said anything.
"You shouldn't be concerned about the other teams."
Tong Yiming looked at Sun Mo. "Central Province Academy, 'A' group, our target is the flower carp. Please display your species of darkness!"
Pa!
A Flower Carp was thrown onto the ground. Its originally rainbow-colored scales had already turned grey!
The referee team immediately went forward to check.
"It's the Flower Carp! That's right! "
"That's pretty impressive!"
"That's not right. Looking at the state of the flower carp's death, it seems like it was bitten to death by a natural predator. Could it be that they were so lucky to pick up a flower carp that was bitten to death by a little egret?"
The judges conversed, feeling very curious about the method the Central Province Academy's student group was using.
"Hmph, I'm just lucky!"
After Headmaster Wei heard the judges' evaluation, his countenance turned unsightly. This meant that the Central Province Academy he hated had obtained second place, suppressing Haizhou once again.
He was really pissed off!
"I've said it before. Who doesn't eat dumplings?"
Headmaster Wei waved his hand and prepared to leave.
"Yes, not only did we eat dumplings, but we also had two meals!"
When Li Ziqi heard Headmaster Wei's words, she smiled sweetly and intentionally spoke very loudly.
"What two meals?"
Just when the group of headmasters were confused, they saw a student from the Central Province Academy taking out another flower carp unwillingly.
"One is enough. Can't I keep this one for myself?"
Zhao Zhi sniffed. This was a species of darkness. It might be beneficial to his body if he ate it.
"There's another one?"
The judges were astonished. They were even more certain that the Central Province Academy's students were lucky. If not, how could they catch two flower carps in such a short period of time?
The surrounding principals were stunned. Then, they looked at Principal Wei with a mocking expression.
You said that the other party was lucky, but in the end, the other party took out two flower carps. This was a resounding slap to the face!
Headmaster Wei's face instantly turned livid.
"Dumplings are like wine. The more you drink, the better. But we're young, so we won't drink. Let's add a dish!"
Zhang Yaozong laughed and threw the crested ibis on the ground. Then, he asked Tong Yiming.
"Referee, can this bird add five points?"
"Check!"
Tong Yiming did not ask Zhang Yaozong about the origin of the crested ibis, as the observer would have a detailed record anyway.
However, the headmasters couldn't remain calm. It was impossible for the Central Province Academy to have so much time to capture three species of darkness. Hence, they must have participated in a competition and were the victors.
Who knew which student group would be the unlucky loser!
"Don't worry, this crested ibis wasn't snatched from your student group!"
Li Ziqi looked at Headmaster Wei and was very polite.
"Nonsense. Do you think you can defeat my team with just you?"
Headmaster Wei mocked.
Li Ziqi and the others exchanged mutual glances and laughed. (If you knew that your student group was crushed by us, would you cry?)
"What are you guys laughing at?"
Headmaster Wei berated, feeling that he had been slighted.
"I..."
Xu Jialiang wanted to say something but was stopped by Li Ziqi.
"I'm sorry, we were rude."
Li Ziqi apologized.
"Hmph!"
Headmaster Wei didn't reply.
"Teacher Sun, the inspection of the battle spoils has been completed. There are no problems. Your competition has ended, so you can disperse and rest now."
Tong Yiming announced.
"Let's go, let's take a bath and have a big meal!"
Sun Mo called out to the students.
"Is the Central Province Academy really going to rise this year?"
"Who is this young man?"
"Go and check!"
Seeing Sun Mo's group leaving, the headmasters discussed. Just when they were planning to leave, they heard a mournful cry.
"Save them, quickly come and save them!"
The teacher from Shanyue who had been spared by Sun Mo performed a simple emergency treatment for everyone and rushed back to call for help.
"What's going on?"
Shanyue's headmaster turned pale with fright and rushed out, but he was stopped by Tong Yiming.
"Headmaster, I'm sorry. Our group was wiped out!"
The teacher knelt on the ground, looking very ashamed.
All the headmasters were dumbfounded. They recalled the information they had heard earlier. Shanyue and the Central Province Academy had started fighting.
When Shanyue's headmaster saw that the Central Province Academy had only lost two teachers, he felt that both sides should have stopped after a certain amount of time. But who could have expected that their group would be wiped out?
In truth, even these two weren't the results of Shanyue's teachers' battles.
"Trash!"
Headmaster Wei mocked. However, he wasn't in the mood to pace around with his hands behind his back, pretending to be calm. It was because they had been surpassed by the Central Province Academy again.
(When Wei Lu returns, I'm going to give him a good scolding.)
After a period of bustling, the headmasters returned to the Jadewave Pavilion. However, Headmaster Zhang and Headmaster Wei were both in second place and weren't in the mood to talk.
Roughly an hour later, the cannon salute rang out.
"The third group is back!"
The headmasters moved to the finishing line again. After that, they saw Haizhou's new student group.
"Headmaster Wei, congratulations!"
The headmasters offered their congratulations.
"It's just third place. There's nothing worth celebrating about!"
Headmaster Wei pretended to be angry. "These good-for-nothings have really disappointed me!"
"How smug. The wrinkles on your face have turned into a chrysanthemum, yet you still say you're unhappy?"
Headmaster Zhang spoke in disdain.
"A vile character intoxicated by success!"
Headmaster Wei also cursed.
"Wan Yanlin, well done!"
Headmaster Wei patted Wan Yanlin's shoulder. After that, he looked around. "Why are you alone? Where are Wei Lu and the other two? "
"Headmaster, they've been wiped out! The group has been wiped out! "
Wan Yanlin couldn't hold it in anymore. She fell limply to the ground and covered her face as she sobbed.
"What?"
Headmaster Wei felt as though he was struck by lightning. His mind was in a daze and he almost couldn't stand stably.
A few other headmasters walked over, wanting to congratulate Headmaster Wei. However, they froze on the spot when they heard this.
Pak!
Headmaster Wei grabbed Wan Yanlin's arm and pulled her up. His expression was malevolent as he roared in rage, "Quickly tell me, what happened?"
"It's that Sun Mo. he killed Wei Lu."
Wan Yanlin cried.
"What? Wei Lu is dead? "
Principal Wei's temples were throbbing, and he felt as if his blood vessels were about to explode. This … this blow was too great. However, what made him feel even worse was the mockery around him.
"Sun Mo? Which Sun Mo? "
Headmaster Wei asked.
"Who else could it be? It must be the one from the Central Province Academy! "
Headmaster Zhang joked.
"Getting wiped out by the trash he looked down on, Old Wei is probably going to die of anger!"
"If I remember correctly, Wei Lu is being nurtured as Haizhou's vice-principal candidate, right?"
"Seems like we have to pay more attention to that Sun Mo!"
The principals were gloating as they discussed. The main reason was that Old Wei had always been arrogant and looked down on other schools. Now that they had seen him suffer, everyone was very happy.
"No, something must be wrong. How could Wei Lu die? He was at the seventh level of the blood-ignition realm! How could he be killed by that Sun? "
Headmaster Wei called out, "That Sun Mo changed his age. Yes, that must be the case!"
"Headmaster Wei!"
Tong Yiming suddenly shouted, "If you don't have any evidence, please don't spout nonsense!"
"Wei Lu is at the Seventh Level of the Blood-Ignition Realm. Isn't that enough?"
Principal Wei snorted coldly.
"What if Sun Mo is also at the seventh level of the blood-ignition realm?"
Tong Yiming questioned.
"Are you dreaming? Do you know how much resources and effort Wei Lu had expended to reach this realm? "
Principal Wei called out, "I suggest that we investigate Sun Mo thoroughly. His age must have been faked."
"Let's go and confront Sun Mo!"
Headmaster Wei walked in a hurry. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to kill Sun Mo immediately.
One couldn't blame Headmaster Wei for being so anxious. With Wei Lu's death, not only would Haizhou Academy's hopes of ascending to the next level be dashed, they might even be demoted.
...
After bathing, Sun Mo ate while listening to the system's notification.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained over 1,000 favorable impression points from the teachers and students of other schools. You've completed the achievement of Reverence from Other Schools. Reward: 1x silver treasure chest!"
"Congratulations, you've led the new student group and obtained a beautiful result of second place in the second round of the competition. Reward: 1x bronze treasure chest!"
Sun Mo patted the papaya girl's head. "Open them both!"
Two treasure chests opened. A time emblem and a skill book quietly floated before Sun Mo's eyes.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained a branch of knowledge from the Great Plants Encyclopedia. 100 types of plants from the Darkness Continent."
"Learned it!"
As the sound of Sun Mo's voice faded, the skill book shattered into motes of light and gushed into his forehead. The detailed information of 100 types of plants instantly sprouted in his mind.
Sun Mo immediately memorized them and raised his proficiency index to the grandmaster-grade.
This time around, although the number of plants given were few, they were all medicinal plants. The quality-price ratio was extremely high because Sun Mo could use these plants for emergency treatment in the wilderness.
Next was the time emblem. Sun Mo thought about it and decided to use it to add another Universe Formless Clone. One couldn't help but say that clones were really useful.
Ding!
"Congratulations, the number of your clones has increased to four!"
Sun Mo smiled in satisfaction, feeling that he had become stronger again. Speaking of which, he had obtained a few heaven-tier cultivation arts from the competition this time around. Should he buy a few time emblems to raise his proficiency index?
"Oh right, system, how many favorable impression points do I have now?"
Sun Mo asked.
“52100.”
"Ah? It's already 50,000? "
Sun Mo was happy. Didn't this mean that he could buy Complete Focus? Should he buy it now, or should he burn some incense and bathe in order to increase the sense of ritual?
Just as Sun Mo was feeling conflicted, he stepped into the Ten Thousand Maples. After that, he frowned because there were many people gathered in the hall. Moreover, they were all headmaster-level characters.
"Sun Mo, are you still not going to be honest?"
Headmaster Wei bellowed.
"Who are you?"
Sun Mo directly retorted. "Also, pay attention to your words. Your saliva is spraying all over my face!"
This was supposed to be a very solemn occasion, but after Sun Mo said this, all the headmasters felt like laughing. They then knew that Sun Mo was an iron-headed person. If Headmaster Wei wanted to use his status to suppress others, he would definitely not be able to succeed.
"Impudent!"
Headmaster Wei was enraged. A golden halo instinctively erupted from his body. It was Teacher for a Day, Father for Life.
"Isn't this too much of a bully?"
Headmaster Zhang's lips twitched. This Old Wei was really shameless. However, he soon discovered that Sun Mo was still standing there perfectly fine. He didn't kneel down.
"It can't be, right?"
All the headmasters were dumbfounded. This Sun Mo was really amazing!
