The darkness illusion on the other side was very interesting. When it saw Sun Mo coming out, the darkness illusion that looked exactly the same as Sun Mo walked out. It had no intention of joining forces with its companions to attack Sun Mo.
Sun Mo pulled out his wooden blade and brandished it a few times.
The illusion on the other side immediately did the same.
At the next second, Sun Mo executed the Wind King Divine Steps. He was like a gust of wind as he appeared before the illusion. His wooden blade slashed out heavily, aiming for its skull.
The illusion didn't dodge. It used the same move and smashed toward Sun Mo's head. It was as though both sides would suffer heavy injuries.
This wasn't the illusion imitating Sun Mo. Rather, it understood that once it dodged, it would lose the initiative and be completely crushed by Sun Mo. Hence, it could only use such a battle tactic to force Sun Mo to change his move.
As expected, Sun Mo turned from offense to defense.
Dang!
The wooden swords collided and were deflected. Then, the dark illusion seized the opportunity to attack.
Eighteen Words Order!
Pa pa pa!
The wooden blade tapped out consecutively, enveloping Sun Mo's entire body.
Sun Mo frowned slightly. The location where the illusion attacked made it extremely hard for him to defend. That feeling was like using his rarely used left hand to eat and write with chopsticks. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Yujing Ballad, Midnight Song, Golden Jade Hibiscus!
Sun Mo was directly engulfed by the blade force. The soul-stirring ballad rang out beside his ears, and many hibiscus flowers bloomed before him. Amidst the magnificence, there was an aura of death.
"So the enemies I defeated in the past faced this kind of attack?"
Sun Mo mumbled and unleashed the full power of the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art. The world before him instantly slowed down.
West River Moon, Broad Cold Autumn, Late Fragrance!
Sun Mo wasn't paying attention and suffered a blow to his left ribs.
"Hey, hey, aren't you going to help? Teacher Sun's situation doesn't look good. "
Jia Wendong called out. Sun Mo was being suppressed.
Sun Mo's real body was carved from the same mold as the illusion. Why was Jia Wendong able to recognize Sun Mo's real body? It was because after Sun Mo defended, he had been suppressed and beaten up.
No matter how they looked at it, they were going to lose!
"What a fuss!"
Li Ziqi's lips curled.
"Just watch quietly!"
Gu Xiuxun guided him.
"The cultivation arts that Teacher Sun cultivates are all saint-tier. Moreover, his combat intelligence is extremely high, and he has abundant combat experience. To a student, this is a rare opportunity to observe. You should work hard to memorize it!"
"Ah?"
Jia Wendong was dumbfounded. Several cultivation methods? And all of them were Martial Saints?
Who are you trying to fool?
Do you think Saint-tier cultivation techniques are cabbages? All over the streets? Even if it was cabbage, it could only be found in winter!
Moreover, although Sun Mo's current appearance wasn't miserable, it was still very embarrassing, alright?
"The top three students in Mingshao's new student group are at this standard?"
Tantai Yutang grew joyful. "Then it shouldn't be a problem for us to get first place this time around."
Upon hearing this, Jia Wendong was angered to the point of laughing. He couldn't help but question Gu Xiuxun, "Since Teacher Sun's cultivation art is at the saint-tier, why aren't the two of them taking the time to study it?"
"Observe?"
Li Ziqi smiled. "Are you a fool? We are Teacher's personal disciples. Teacher would often spar with us and feed us moves. Do we even need to observe? "
Jia Wendong suddenly wanted to slap his mouth. Why was he so talkative?
But then, he felt a little envious. He didn't know if Sun Mo's cultivation art was at the saint-tier or not, but this move wasn't only gorgeous, but its prowess was also extremely strong.
Zhen Yuanxiong laoshi was not to be blamed.
"Oh right, Teacher has already imparted his cultivation art to us."
Li Ziqi thought of her teacher's generosity and couldn't help but reveal a little secret. It was because she wanted others to know how magnanimous her teacher was.
"Ah? It's fake, right? "
Jia Wendong didn't believe it. Saint-tier cultivation art? This was an ultimate art that was only passed down to males and not females. Even if there were great teachers, they wouldn't easily impart it to their personal students. They had to go through over ten years of tests and ascertain their character and loyalty before they would impart it to them.
"In your eyes, saint-tier cultivation arts are treasures. But in Teacher's eyes, they are a kind of knowledge that can be taught to students at any time."
Li Ziqi explained.
Jia Wendong wanted to rebut, but when he saw Li Ziqi's gaze filled with worship and longing, he suddenly felt a heartache and was unable to speak.
"I probably won't be able to woo this girl in my lifetime, right?"
Jia Wendong sighed. Looking at Li Ziqi's gaze, Sun Mo definitely wasn't just a simple teacher in her heart.
"The counterattack has started!"
Tantai Yutang suddenly interjected.
At the instant the sickly invalid's voice rang out, Sun Mo's wooden blade swung out, bringing forth an overwhelming killing aura that was like a violent storm, attacking the illusion.
"What?"
Jia Wendong was badly shocked. What the hell? How could the situation be reversed so easily?
"You still don't understand?"
Li Ziqi was astonished.
"Understand what?"
Looking at Li Ziqi's' so this fellow is actually so stupid 'gaze, Jia Wendong felt so ashamed that he wanted to die. However, he really didn't understand.
"Teacher was suppressed earlier not because the illusion was too strong. It was intentional by Teacher!"
Tantai Yutang explained, "This illusion clearly has the same combat prowess as the actual body, including combat wisdom and experience. Hence, Teacher wanted to use it to test his own weaknesses. After all, in this world, the person one understands the least is actually himself."
"Ah?"
Jia Wendong had a dumbfounded look on his face. After that, a contemplative expression appeared on his face.
Indeed, what opportunities were the least in this world?
Of course, it was the opportunity to spar against the actual body. He, no, many people treated the darkness illusion as an enemy. However, Sun Mo treated it as a sparring partner to test his own weaknesses.
"Could this be what it means to see the big picture?"
Jia Wendong exclaimed in admiration.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jia Wendong + 500. Friendly (750/1,000).
Sun Mo truly thought this way, and his gains were great.
The attacks of the defensive illusion caused Sun Mo to feel very uncomfortable, and he also suffered quite a few hits. Through Divine Sight and Copy, he saw the attack patterns of the illusion without missing out.
After the illusion finished a round of attacks, it started to repeat the same routine. This meant that the subsequent attacks had no value. Hence, Sun Mo retaliated.
The place he chose to attack was precisely the weakness of the 'illusion'. In addition, he was stronger than the illusion to begin with. Hence, the situation was instantly reversed.
"How fascinating!"
Gu Xiuxun exclaimed in admiration, but she also felt a little disappointed because her illusion had been killed by Sun Mo.
Also, Sun Mo was improving at every moment. This caused her to feel great pressure!
What was the most painful thing in this world?
It was your competitor. Not only were they geniuses, but they were also more hardworking than you. How could you win against them?
Jia Wendong warned himself that he should focus on Sun Mo's battle. However, he couldn't help but sneak glances at Li Ziqi and Tantai Yutang.
"Did you guys know about this long ago?"
Jia Wendong asked.
The two students didn't reply, but the answer was obvious.
A sense of inferiority and disappointment started to grow in Jia Wendong's chest.
Before the third round of the league tournament, Jia Wendong was very proud. But now, he was dealt a heavy blow.
How amazing was Sun Mo to be able to make such amazing students submit to him?
Jia Wendong smiled in self-mockery. He was still hesitating if he should acknowledge Sun Mo as his teacher. But in truth, even if he did, Sun Mo most probably wouldn't accept him.
There was no other reason. He felt that his aptitude was too poor!
Bang!
Sun Mo's blade smashed the head of the illusion.
The illusion fell to the ground, shattering into motes of light and vanishing.
"Alright, let's go!"
Sun Mo walked toward the stairs. "Tantai Yutang, I'll give you three minutes to end the battle!"
"Teacher, I'm so weak. I'll be killed!"
The sickly invalid cried out.
Sun Mo ignored him.
The four of them went up the stairs.
Jia Wendong kept turning his head back and surveying Sun Mo. After that, he couldn't help but ask Li Ziqi in a low voice.
"That student kept coughing and seemed to be seriously ill. How could he win against the darkness illusion?"
Just when Jia Wendong finished speaking, he heard complaints ringing out behind him.
"That's right, I almost died!"
"What?"
Jia Wendong was shocked. He turned his head in astonishment and saw that the sickly invalid had already walked up the stairs. This... wasn't this speed a little too fast?
It was even faster than his attack!
"How on earth did you do it?"
Jia Wendong was curious.
"Hehe!"
The sickly invalid wouldn't say anything.
"Such a person is actually Teacher Sun Mo's student?"
Jia Wendong gulped down a mouthful of saliva. This sickly invalid gave him an extremely strange feeling, making him feel very uncomfortable.
He felt that even if Nangong Dao fought against him, he might lose.
Ding!
"Congratulations, because Nangong Dao has developed respect for you, your prestige connection has increased. Moreover, you are the top freshman of another school. Special reward: 1x silver treasure chest."
Sun Mo suddenly heard the system's notification. He patted Li Ziqi's head in passing and instructed.
"Open the treasure chest!"
Amidst the flowing light, a skill book quietly floated in the air.
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining 100 types of plants from the Darkness Continent. Proficiency level: elementary-grade. Do you want to learn it?"
"Learn!"
Sun Mo's tone was resolute and decisive. Although the proficiency level was a little low, he could still learn it. Moreover, if he slacked a little, wasn't it just a matter of two time emblems?
After that, Sun Mo felt that he had become stronger again.
"Speaking of which, Ziqi isn't as amazing as Zhiruo!"
Sun Mo sighed ruefully.
Third level!
Fourth level!
Fifth level!
...
All the way until the 12th level.
At each level, one would encounter darkness illusions. Moreover, the illusions' battle prowess would get increasingly higher and harder to deal with.
"Did you guys discover it? These illusions seem to be able to learn. Their comprehensive attributes are actually getting stronger! "
Tantai Yutang couldn't help but laugh. "This fellow even learned the rhythm of my coughing!"
"Eh? Is there a rhythm to your coughing? "
Jia Wendong was surprised.
"Obsessive-Compulsive disorder is so terrifying!"
Li Ziqi's lips twitched. She had long since discovered it. Moreover, she had learned this term from Sun Mo.
"Coughing is already unbearable to begin with, so I naturally have to find some fun to disperse the pain!"
Tantai Yutang's tone was as it should be by rights.
Sun Mo, Gu Xiuxun, and Tantai Yutang defeated the illusions without any pressure. Li Ziqi felt a little pressured as she kept getting injured. However, the one who suffered the most was Jia Wendong.
From the 7th level onward, he hadn't won a single battle.
At this moment, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He quickly walked up to Sun Mo and bowed deeply.
"Teacher Sun, student Jia Wendong begs for your guidance!"
Sun Mo didn't make things difficult for Jia Wendong. He directly said, "Your battle style is too old-fashioned. Why don't you have more variations?"
"Ah? I've changed! "
Jia Wendong frowned. He had already noticed this problem.
"Didn't you notice? You're very impatient. Once you're impatient, your moves will return to the old style! "
Bluntly speaking, it meant that he didn't have any spirituality and didn't have enough resistance to pressure.
"Then what should I do?"
Jia Wendong humbly sought guidance.
"I won't be able to improve this within a short period of time. Let's fight more and slowly accumulate experience!"
Gu Xiuxun interrupted.
Jia Wendong had a dejected look on his face. He also understood that this flaw was the hardest to improve.
"Raise your spirits. From now onward, do your best to sense this mental state!"
As Sun Mo spoke, he punched toward Jia Wendong's forehead.
BOOM!
Soul Imprint!
A ball of milky white light shot into the space between Jia Wendong's eyebrows. His spirit was shaken, and in an instant, a lot of knowledge, comprehension, and experience appeared in his mind, directly giving him a calm and composed state of mind.
No spirituality?
That's fine, let me tell you what spirituality is.
"Go, kill it!"
Sun Mo fiercely patted Jia Wendong's shoulder.
Jia Wendong took the opportunity to rush toward the illusion. Earlier, when he saw the illusion, he had no idea where to start. But now, with Sun Mo's battle wisdom and experience, the illusion was simply filled with flaws in his eyes.
"Go to hell!"
Jia Wendong slashed out quickly, going all out.
In just a minute, the illusion was destroyed!
Awesome!
This was simply too awesome!
Jia Wendong panted heavily and turned his head fiercely, looking at Sun Mo. "Teacher Sun, I won!"
"Of course!"
Li Ziqi silently mused. (Right now, your inner self is that of a teacher. If you can't win, you would really be trash.)
"What skill is this?"
Jia Wendong looked at Sun Mo and sensed the things in his mind, greedily absorbing them.
"Don't ask. If you ask, it will be a great teacher halo."
Sun Mo chuckled.
"Many thanks for Teacher Sun's guidance!"
Jia Wendong bowed again. Right now, he felt that he was very strong. He could even win against Nangong Dao.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jia Wendong + 500. Respect (1,250/10000).
"Damn, another experience baby!"
Sun Mo thought of the honest guy, Qi Shengjia. He wondered how Qi Shengjia was doing recently. Also, he felt that after coming out from this ancient castle, the favorable impression points Jia Wendong gave him might break through 3,000.
Gu Xiuxun surveyed Sun Mo with a suspicious look in her eyes.
"The effect of this great teacher halo seems to be a little similar to enlightenment, but it isn't completely the same. It seems to be able to strike everything about Sun Mo into the student's mind!"
Gu Xiuxun analyzed. Could it be that Sun Mo had really comprehended a brand new great teacher halo?
If that was true, it would truly be amazing!
"Alright, let's continue advancing!"
Sun Mo walked up the stairs.
...
"That student downstairs should be from the Central Province Academy, right? It's truly a pity that he was defeated here! "
Ming Xian sighed. He didn't know if he could recover his consciousness after obtaining that secret treasure of darkness. If not, it would truly be a great loss for a genius like him to go crazy.
Ming Xian walked up the stairs and glanced over. The layout was different from the lower levels. There was a corridor that led straight ahead.
"This should be the top level, right?"
Ming Xian didn't feel any excitement or nervousness. He calmly stepped on the stone slabs and walked toward the end of the corridor. After that, his expression became one of astonishment.
Ming Xian had already made all sorts of mental preparations. There might be all sorts of illusions of himself or even his dead family members. However, he had never imagined that a student from the Central Province Academy would appear.
"Am I seeing things?"
For a time, Ming Xian sank into self-doubt.
