"Saint level?"
The spectators looked at Sun Mo. Their gazes were filled with shock, envy, and greed.
What was a Saint-tier cultivation technique?
It was an existence that could be used as a school's ultimate divine art. It was the most valuable treasure that could allow a family to prosper for a thousand years.
Why was Ni Jingting able to have his current achievements?
Other than having outstanding aptitude, the peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art, the Flying Flower Chases Moon Sword Art, that he cultivated, was where his foundation lay. One step above this tier would be the saint tier, and saints were extremely rare. Therefore, Ni Jingting could rely on his cultivation art to beat up many people.
He had thought that it would be the same today as well. However, when Sun Mo displayed his cultivation art, his expression changed.
It's like a classmate showing off in front of you that he just bought a house, proudly telling you that it's in the Second Ring Road and the price is over ten thousand RMB, only to find out that you live in the Forbidden City and receive guests in the Palace of Heavenly Purity!
This psychological gap was so big that it was simply unacceptable.
"Yes!"
Sun Mo nodded and brandished his blade.
Hiss!
After getting Sun Mo's confirmation, everyone immediately drew in a cold gasp. There were a few people who wanted their sons to acknowledge Sun Mo as their teacher.
If he could gain his trust and favor, and if he could learn a move or two from him, he would benefit immensely.
Ni Jingting sank into hesitation. He was arrogant and conceited, but it didn't mean that he had no judgment. After the spar earlier, he was certain that Sun Mo had quite a few capabilities. It probably wouldn't be easy for him to win against him.
But if he didn't fight, it would be too embarrassing. Thus, it was hard to get off the tiger.
"Teacher Ni, you're more than ten years older than me. With so many years of combat experience, you should be able to make up for the gap in our cultivation techniques, right?"
Sun Mo smiled. "How about this? If I lose, I will teach you this saint-tier cultivation art!"
"Sun Mo, don't act recklessly!"
Yue Rongbo was shocked.
"Kid, don't go overboard!"
Zheng Qingfang berated, feeling that Sun Mo was a little too complacent. This was something that could be treated as a family heirloom, yet Sun Mo was actually using it as a gambling stake? Had he gone crazy?
"Is that true?"
Ni Jingting, who had been feeling uneasy at first, was instantly filled with fighting spirit when he heard this. He was also worried about being disturbed by others, so he hurriedly urged, "Come and fight!"
"Ms. An, aren't you going to persuade him?"
Gu Xiuxun was worried.
"The saint-tier cultivation technique is his, he has the right to use it."
An Xinhui smiled. "Moreover, he won't lose at all!"
"Stop!"
Zheng Qingfang stopped him. "This is too unfair. Since Great Teacher Sun took out a saint-tier cultivation art as the wager, then Great Teacher Ni should also bet his cultivation art."
Zheng Qingfang knew that he wouldn't be able to persuade Sun Mo. Therefore, he wanted to use this method to make Ni Jingting back off.
"Prime Minister Zheng, don't worry. I won't lose."
Sun Mo's lips twitched. "Moreover, his cultivation art is full of loopholes. I don't like it!"
"Sun Mo!"
Zheng Qingfang's tone was very strict. On the contrary, he was concerned about Sun Mo's performance. If not, even if Sun Mo squandered his entire clan, it had nothing to do with him.
"Let's continue!"
Sun Mo lifted his chin toward Ni Jingting. Stakes? There's no need for that. I'll use Immemorial Vairocana to directly beat him out!
The two of them clashed once again. This time, Ni Jingting went all out, unleashing all sorts of dazzling ultimate skills.
However, Sun Mo was as steady as a boulder, receiving every attack.
After attacking for a long time without success, Ni Jingting started to panic again. In a bad opportunity, he unleashed his trump card.
Flying Flower Chasing Moon.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All of a sudden, large patches of flower petals started to fall from the entire Linjiang Hall. They were purple and brilliant red, as if snow was fluttering in the air. Then, all the flower petals were swept up by an invisible force, forming a tornado that rushed toward Sun Mo.
"So this is the case!"
Under the 'copy' state, Sun Mo witnessed every detail of Ni Jingting's ultimate skill. After that, he slashed out with his blade and started to retaliate.
Paying someone back in their own coin!
Pak!
The flower petals in the tornado were scattered by the wooden blade. After pausing for a breath's time, they suddenly gathered again and swept toward Ni Jingting.
"What?"
Ni Jingting was greatly shocked. After a flurry of movements, he finally managed to block this attack. Before he could catch his breath, Sun Mo arrived.
"Now, it's my turn to perform!"
Sun Mo's wrist shook, and the wooden blade attacked Ni Jingting in a confident and unrestrained manner, as if he was brandishing a brush and splashing ink.
Yujing Ballad, Midnight Song, Golden Jade Hibiscus!
West River Moon, Broad Cold Autumn, Late Fragrance!
The guests in the surroundings were instantly stunned. Even if no one told them that this was a saint-tier cultivation art, they would be able to guess it.
It was because it was simply too magnificent.
Right now, Sun Mo's attacks were as smooth as flowing water, and his movements were as light as a feather. He was truly like an immortal. Many aristocratic ladies were so agitated that they wanted to scream.
The wooden blade kept on hitting Ni Jingting's body. Other people couldn't see it, but in Sun Mo's eyes, there were many golden pages flying out from the top of his head.
It was like the mushrooms and gold coins that came out from playing Super Mario.
"Damn it! Damn it! "
Ni Jingting went all out to retaliate, but when his longsword slashed onto Sun Mo's body with much difficulty, he was completely unharmed.
"What the hell?"
Ni Jingting was on the verge of breaking down. Then, he was kicked in the chest and sent flying.
Sun Mo stood still and snapped his fingers.
Pak!
Those pages that were floating in the air flew over like tired birds, condensing into a golden book.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained the Flying Flower Chases Moon Sword Art, a peerless-grade heaven-tier sword art!"
Sun Mo gazed at it and activated Divine Sight.
"Strong point: It's uncanny, ever-changing, and hard to guard against strange moves.
"Weak point: Its attacking prowess is slightly weak. If you encounter an enemy with an off-the-charts defense, it might not be able to break through their defenses. Moreover, it's too inferior in terms of movement technique. If it's combined with the Wind King Divine Steps, its prowess will increase by quite a bit."
"Do you want to learn it?"
The system asked.
"Learn it!"
It was a peerless-grade heaven-tier sword art after all. Even if he didn't use it, he could teach it to others.
Pak!
The skill book shattered, and the scattered light spots flew into Sun Mo's forehead.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've learned the Flying Flower Chases Moon. Proficiency index: elementary-grade!"
Sun Mo kept his blade and carefully appraised this cultivation art, comparing it with the one Ni Jingting had used earlier to gain a deeper understanding of it.
"Sun Mo, again!"
Ni Jingting stood up and bellowed loudly.
"Boring, I'm not fighting anymore!"
Sun Mo rejected.
"What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me? "
Ni Jingting glared at Sun Mo and bellowed loudly with a grim countenance, "Draw your blade and fight 300 more rounds with me!"
"Teacher Ni, you won't be able to win against me!"
Sun Mo persuaded. He had already obtained the most important battle spoils, so there was no meaning in continuing the fight. As for sparring with him? Please, any random illusion summoned from the darkness illusion dojo would be stronger than Ni Jingting.
"There's really no need to fight anymore. Sun Mo is very strong!"
"Teacher Ni, stop fighting. Otherwise, you'll just be asking to be humiliated."
"Just stop while you're ahead!"
Some people discussed and some persuaded. However, no matter who it was, no one felt that Ni Jingting would be able to win. If they were to continue fighting, he'd be even more embarrassed.
"I haven't lost yet... pffft...!"
Ni Jingting was infuriated and finally couldn't hold it in any longer. Before he could finish his words, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"System, it's already enough to deal him such a blow, right?"
Sun Mo felt that Ni Jingting was already very miserable.
"What do you think?"
The system counter-asked.
"I suddenly discovered that you're really ruthless!"
Sun Mo retorted. After that, he looked toward Li Silin. "As a great teacher, I feel that we should have the most basic integrity. If you don't like him, you shouldn't have taken him in as a disciple!"
The moment Sun Mo said this, Ni Jingting's countenance changed drastically. "What do you mean by this?"
"Teacher is saying that you only took Li Silin in as a disciple because you wanted to get on Li Zixing's good side!"
Lu Zhiruo explained with a straight face.
Actually, everyone understood the meaning behind these words, but it wasn't good to say it out in public. Otherwise, they'd have to shed all pretense of cordiality. The papaya girl was too innocent and didn't understand these things.
"Sun Mo, you're slandering my character. If you can't bring out a reason, I'm going to report you to the Saint Gate."
Ni Jingting's countenance turned gloomy.
It was because once he was proven, his reputation would be ruined.
"Sun Mo, don't insult my teacher. He even taught me a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art like the Flying Flower Chases Moon!"
Li Silin bellowed. He was still very respectful toward Ni Jingting.
"He did teach me, but it's a pity that a portion of the content was missing!"
Sun Mo shrugged.
Ni Jingting was shocked. How did Sun Mo know? However, it was fine. There were very few people who knew this cultivation art, and no one could testify against him.
Sun Mo couldn't be bothered to say anything and started to recite a few parts of the Flying Flower Chases Moon's outline. "The body transforms into a void spirit, the qi transforms into a void form, the body and qi become one, idealism..."
"What is Sun Mo saying?"
"I don't understand!"
"But you can't say such things recklessly!"
The guests mumbled, but the great teachers' spirits stirred. They pricked up their ears, deeply afraid of missing out on a single word.
"This... this is..."
Li Silin had a look of shock on his face.
"This is a portion of the Flying Flower Chases Moon's outline. You haven't heard of it before, right?"
Sun Mo sighed.
"No... it can't be. Teacher wouldn't lie to me!"
Li Silin mumbled and looked toward Ni Jingting.
Ni Jingting's scalp turned numb, feeling as though he was about to explode. How did Sun Mo know about this cultivation art? Moreover, the few parts that Sun Mo said were precisely what he hadn't taught Li Silin.
A coincidence, it must be a coincidence!
"Teacher Ni, give me an explanation!"
Gu Xiuxun teased.
Ni Jingting wanted to lie, but if Sun Mo were to recite the outline, it would be over for him. Therefore, he could only quibble. "This is a peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. I naturally have to assess Silin's character and talent before I impart it to him!"
(Damn it, Sun Mo, you already know a saint-tier cultivation art, so why do you still know the Flying Flower Chases Moon? Can't you leave us with a path of survival?)
When Li Silin heard this, his face was filled with astonishment and disappointment. (Teacher, didn't you say that I'm the disciple you're most proud of and that you've already taught me the entire Flying Flower Chases Moon?
Why did it become a portion of it now?)
"Don't talk about me. Aren't you the same?"
Ni Jingting changed the topic, wearing a mocking look. "Could it be that you're willing to directly teach your cultivation art to your students?"
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo laughed softly.
"Oi, don't measure the heart of a gentleman with your narrow-mindedness. Teacher really taught us the cultivation art!"
Ying Baiwu testified.
Ni Jingting was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Is it at the saint-tier?"
"Of course. If it's not at the saint-tier, Teacher can't be bothered to teach it!"
Lu Zhiruo spoke in support.
"You've learned it as well?"
Cao Xian was curious.
"Not just me, all of us have learned it!"
Lu Zhiruo vowed.
