Sun Mo glanced at the shelves and discovered that there was a dazzling line-up of goods, almost filling up half the shelves.
However, if one took a closer look, they would find that there were just over a hundred types of goods, and many of them were duplicates.
"System, didn't you say that as long as I have enough favorability points, I can buy anything I want in the Merchant Shop?"
Sun Mo didn't understand.
"Your clearance level is too low. You can't unlock more goods!"
The system explained.
"If you want to increase your privileges, you have to work hard to increase your star level. The higher your star level, the more comprehensive the goods in the shop will be!"
Sun Mo shrugged. There were only four months left until the 1-star great teacher examination in spring. At that time, he would be able to participate in it.
The Saint Gate's Star Tier Test was continuous.
For example, if Sun Mo passed the 1-star great teacher examination in March, then he could continue to participate in the 2-star great teacher examination next month. If he continued to pass, he could even participate in the 3-star great teacher examination the month after that.
Of course, ordinary people wouldn't be able to take the examinations consecutively. Even if their academic standards reached the requirement, the number of great teacher halos they had was also a hard standard. After all, it was simply too difficult to comprehend one.
"Others rely on their fathers, but I rely on my system!"
Sun Mo mocked himself.
"Don't belittle yourself. Actually, given your talent, you'll be able to comprehend these great teacher halos in the future. It's just that the system's reward has shortened the time required."
The System comforted him. "After all, we didn't choose our Host randomly."
"You guys?"
Sun Mo frowned. "Could there be other systems?"
"Take a guess?"
The system refused to answer.
Great teacher halos were considered top-grade goods. Although they weren't sold for a limited time, only one would appear each time. A new halo would only appear after the host purchased it.
This time, it was a Battle of Words. It was another very practical Halo of Light.
Generally speaking, a battle of words was used to describe a person whose words were sharp, comparable to spears and swords, but had no lethality.
Throughout the ages, there had never been a case where someone could be killed with just a few words. At most, Wang Lang had been angered to death by Prime Minister Zhuge.
However, in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, once a great teacher comprehended the Sword Tongue Battle, their words would possess extremely great killing prowess. If it was light, it would cause one to cough up blood and be injured. If it was heavy, it would cause one to die on the spot.
"If keyboard warriors obtained this great teacher halo, wouldn't they become gods? Whoever he spits on will die! "
Sun Mo was joyful.
This was a punishing halo. Although corporal punishment was a very common thing in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, great teachers wouldn't make a move because of their status. Using words to fight would make it look cool, and it would also make the student who made a mistake remember it.
Sun Mo looked at the price. 50,000 favorable impression points, no discounts!
…
The Queen Bee Hotel was one of the top luxurious hotels in White Dew City. Right now, the entire place had been booked by Mingshao.
In the backyard, when Chen Ying saw that there was no one around, he started to practice the Dharma Skyshock Fist. However, halfway through his practice, he suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his right chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Chen Ying? Chen Ying? Where the hell have you been? There's a job! "
The head of the logistics department cursed. That brat Chen Ying disappeared in the blink of an eye. How infuriating.
"Over here!"
Chen Ying shouted.
"Chen Ying, if you don't want to do logistics, just say it. There are plenty of students who want to do it!"
The regiment commander frowned. He hated Chen Ying's sloppy work attitude.
"I … I didn't slack off. I've done all the work you gave me!"
Chen Ying explained. If he spoke too much, his chest would be affected, causing him to feel even more pain.
"You can rest after I've done all the work I gave you?"
When the regiment commander heard this, he was enraged. "Then if I keep giving you work, will you continue to do it?"
Chen Ying fell silent.
"Chen Ying, don't feel that I'm targeting you. Being in the logistics department means that we have the chance to come into contact with great teachers. If they just casually give us a few pointers, we would benefit immensely."
The regiment commander persuaded patiently. "We aren't official members, so we should work even harder."
If one's talent was inferior to others, how could one compete?
Although they were all in the logistics department, the other students were all fighting to do the work, doing their best to show off, hoping to move a great teacher.
Only Chen Ying was nowhere to be seen.
"Go collect Chen Liqi's and the others' clothes and wash them. If they are worn out, don't keep them. Go to Teacher Zhao and apply for new uniforms. After ironing them, place them in their rooms."
The regiment commander arranged the work.
"Understood!"
Chen Ying lowered his head.
"Quickly do it!"
The regiment commander urged. "I know you are secretly practicing, but without the guidance of a great teacher, what can you achieve? Let's do our job first. "
The regiment commander left, leaving behind a pale-faced Chen Ying. With every step he took, the right side of his chest would feel a little pain. His dantian also felt uncomfortable.
"Guidance from a great teacher?"
Chen Ying's expression was gloomy. Earlier, he had used the opportunity to deliver food to ask Teacher Wei a few questions. Although Teacher Wei had answered him, he didn't really understand. He wanted to ask again, but he was worried that he would be seen as an idiot. Also, Teacher Wei didn't have so much time to waste on a logistics student.
"Our new student group is really impressive, it's another number one!"
"Sigh, they are receiving special treatment from great teachers every day. It would be strange if they aren't impressive!"
"I'm so envious!"
A few students were discussing. When Chen Ying heard this, he couldn't help but reveal an envious expression.
In the guest room, a door suddenly opened.
Chen Ying hurriedly retreated to the wall and lowered his head to greet, "Teacher Wei!"
Wei Xueli didn't pay any attention to Chen Ying. He sent Chen Liqi out and patted his shoulder, encouraging him. "Your performance is excellent. If you continue to work hard, you will be the number one of this batch of new students."
"It's all thanks to Teacher Wei's guidance!"
"Don't say that. It's you who is overflowing with talent."
Wei Xueli didn't claim credit for himself. "If there's anything you don't understand in your cultivation, you can come and ask me at any time! If I can't answer, I will help you ask the headmaster! "
"Many thanks, Teacher Wei!"
Chen Liqi's attitude was respectful.
"Work hard, Mingshao's future belongs to you."
The more Teacher Wei looked at Chen Liqi, the more he admired him. He hesitated a little but still said, "If you change your mind, you can come and acknowledge me as your teacher!"
Upon hearing their conversation and seeing how Wei Xueli regarded Chen Liqi so highly, Chen Ying's expression turned gloomy. When would he be recruited by a great teacher?
Teacher Wei sent Chen Liqi off with his gaze. He didn't even glance at Chen Ying and returned to his room to close the door.
Chen Ying had planned to take this opportunity to ask a few questions about cultivation. For example, why did his chest hurt? But in the end, he didn't have the chance.
Carrying a large pile of clothes, Chen Ying turned the corner of the corridor and saw Chen Liqi leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, waiting for him.
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Ying frowned.
"Che, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? I'm an official participant and my time is very tight. How would I be so free to find trouble with you? "
Chen Liqi rolled his eyes. "My clothes are dirty. Go wash them and remember to iron them thrice."
After Chen Liqi spoke, he left hurriedly. He still had to attend a meeting to discuss the matters for the third round. This time around, Mingshao was determined to become the champion.
Chen Ying's expression turned even more unsightly. Compared to being humiliated, Chen Liqi's disregard made him feel even more uncomfortable. This meant that he wasn't even worthy of being Chen Liqi's enemy.
That's right, Chen Liqi was fighting for the championship while he was washing clothes!
"Could it be that my seven years as a student are going to be wasted like this?"
Chen Ying felt unwilling.
In the water room, seven students from the logistics department had already arrived and were washing clothes.
"Have you heard? The Central Province Academy obtained second place, defeating Haizhou and Shanyue. Their performance is truly shocking! "
"I heard that their teacher is called Sun Mo. He even rebuked Haizhou's headmaster!"
"That's right, it's him. He defeated Wei Lu. That was at the seventh level of the blood-ignition realm."
Upon hearing the students discussing, Chen Ying's ears twitched. Sun Mo? Could it be that he was the one who saved him that day? So, he was actually so impressive?
"Should I go and seek guidance from him?"
Chen Ying pondered as his expression gradually turned heavy. He didn't forget what Sun Mo had said before. He had to either give up on the Dharma Skyshock Fist or change his cultivation art. But no matter which option he chose, he wouldn't be able to accept it.
...
As time flowed by, the new student groups gradually returned and more news came. After that, more schools started to know that the Central Province Academy was ridiculously strong.
Up until now, they had wiped out a total of three student groups. Chongde, Shanyue, and Haizhou. The strength of the first two were ordinary, but Haizhou was a strong school that would surely advance to the next round. In fact, they even had hopes of becoming the champion. Yet, they were wiped out.
At this moment, Sun Mo, Li Ziqi, and Xuanyuan Po's fame soared.
There were no walls in the world that didn't have a crack. Besides, Sun Mo didn't kill them all. Hence, those students who survived became the source of news.
During these two days, vice-headmasters from famous schools started to poach Xuanyuan Po and Li Ziqi. Whether they succeeded or not, they had to probe the situation first.
Because the Central Province Academy had clearly become the greatest stumbling block for Mingshao, the more students discussed it, the more Chen Ying heard about it.
On the afternoon of the third day, Chen Ying finally found a chance and ran to the Ten Thousand Maple Hotel. However, he was at a loss as to what to do when he stood before the entrance.
Sun Mo was so famous, so it would surely be hard to meet him, right? However, since he had already applied for leave, he couldn't possibly waste it, right? Hence, he braced himself and walked into the hotel.
When Chen Ying saw five students wearing the Central Province Academy's uniform, he immediately went up to them.
"I'm sorry, may I ask which room Teacher Sun Mo is staying in?"
"What do you want to do?"
Shi Qiao frowned and surveyed Chen Ying.
"I... I..."
Chen Ying found it hard to speak.
"Is there a need to ask? They must have heard of Teacher Sun's fame and want to consult him! "
Xu Jialiang teased.
"If this is the case, I advise you to return as soon as possible. We don't even have enough time to share with our teacher!"
Shi Qiao's lips twitched. If Teacher Sun allowed it, he wanted to stay by Teacher Sun's side every day and listen to his teachings.
"Oi, they came from so far away. This means that they are very sincere. Don't pour cold water on them!"
Although Xu Jialiang said this, he didn't wish for these people to disturb Teacher Sun's rest time.
"Shi Qiao wanted to acknowledge Teacher Sun as his teacher but didn't succeed. He has always been unhappy, so he doesn't want others to get Teacher Sun's guidance!"
Lu Qi pointed out Shi Qiao's thoughts.
"Shi Qiao, if you perform well in the third round, you might be able to move Teacher Sun!"
Xu Jialiang consoled.
"Forget it, you dare to say that you don't want to?"
Shi Qiao rolled his eyes.
Hearing this, Chen Ying's heart trembled. So, these people were members of the new student group.
Such students were all geniuses with great potential that even great teachers wanted. They wouldn't easily acknowledge others as their teacher and would wait for the best offer. However, these people wanted to acknowledge Sun Mo as their teacher but couldn't do so...
This meant that it was very difficult to become Sun Mo's personal student!
"Seems like I've missed a great opportunity that day!"
Chen Ying suddenly felt a little regretful.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Chen Ying + 30. Friendly (110/1,000).
"Which school are you from?"
Xu Jialiang assessed Chen Ying.
Chen Ying was too embarrassed to speak. If the teachers and students of his school knew that he came to seek guidance from a teacher from another school, they'd surely reprimand him.
"Che, you're not sincere at all!"
Shi Qiao's lips twitched. "Let's go. Teacher Sun's time is very tight and he doesn't have the time to guide you!"
Chen Ying didn't wish to leave.
"Don't bother about him!"
Xu Jialiang urged. Just when he was about to leave, he heard Li Ziqi's question.
"Who do you guys think Teacher doesn't have the time to guide?"
The little sunny egg, papaya girl, and Ying Baiwu carried a huge pile of things and came back from outside. They had just finished shopping.
"Eldest Martial Sister!"
Xu Jialiang and the others called out in passing.
"Che!"
Shi Qiao spoke in disdain. (Seems like my competitors have increased again.)
After hearing Xu Jialiang's explanation, Li Ziqi looked at Chen Ying. "It's you?"
"I wish to pay my respects to Teacher Sun!"
Chen Ying lowered his stance. "Only Teacher Sun can solve my problem!"
"Which school are you from?"
Chen Ying's words were a compliment, and Li Ziqi didn't believe it. However, she felt that this was an opportunity for this student to spread Sun Mo's fame to other schools.
As for Sun Mo being unable to solve this student's problem?
Please, how could that be possible?
In Li Ziqi's heart, Sun Mo was extremely knowledgeable and omnipotent!
Chen Ying could tell that this flat-chested young girl had an extremely high status. He hesitated a little before speaking, "Mingshao!"
"Come with me!"
Li Ziqi instructed.
"Eldest Martial Sister!"
Shi Qiao's expression turned bitter. "We want to seek guidance from Teacher, but we don't even dare to disturb him. Why must we give such a person a chance?"
Shi Qiao felt unhappy.
"One must be magnanimous!"
Li Ziqi consoled.
"My heavens, a student from Mingshao also came to seek guidance from Teacher Sun?"
Xu Jialiang exclaimed in admiration.
"He's probably trash that no one cares about. If he's really a good student, great teachers would fight to guide him!"
Shi Qiao mocked.
"Rather than grumbling here, why don't you work hard to perform and move Teacher Sun?"
Chu Jian, who had been silent all this while, suddenly interjected.
"Sigh, why didn't I encounter Teacher Sun back then when I first joined the school?"
Shi Qiao sighed. At that time, it was the easiest to enter Sun Mo's tutelage. But now, it was very difficult.
"Forget it, I can't do it back then either!"
Peng Kunqi's lips twitched.
"I've inquired about it. During the freshmen recruitment meet, Qin Fen competed with Teacher Sun for the sake of a pair of brothers with outstanding aptitude. Qin Fen is an excellent student from Jixia Learning Palace, but Teacher Sun won in the end. However, because the pair of brothers had outstanding aptitude, they were rejected by Teacher Sun in the end."
"I've heard about it too. Teacher Sun doesn't accept just any Tom, Dick, or Harry!"
Lu Qi nodded.
"Just accept your fate. It's very difficult to become Teacher Sun's personal student!"
After Chu Jian finished speaking, everyone sighed.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from students + 321.
