A person's name was like a tree's shadow. In the second round of the written examination, Sun Mo obtained full marks and proved that his reputation wasn't undeserved. After that, he became the most dazzling rising star in this great teacher examination.
Everyone was paying attention to Sun Mo.
Of course, human nature was complicated. There would always be people who hoped that Sun Mo would fail and be unlucky. However, they were destined to be disappointed.
In the live lecture, Sun Mo obtained the first place in the votes. When the results were out, he became the great teacher that those famous schools wanted the most.
What?
The Great Teachers Battle hadn't started yet. How would Sun Mo's actual combat results be?
Please, Sun Mo's impressive teaching capabilities were already sufficient for him to establish a foothold in a 'B' grade famous school. Even if his actual combat results were a little weaker, it was still acceptable.
Or rather, at this moment, the leaders of those 'B' grade famous schools actually hoped that Sun Mo's combat strength wouldn't be too high. Otherwise, the Nine Greats would definitely make a move. At that time, what would they use to headhunt Sun Mo?
"You're famous this time around!"
Gu Xiuxun sighed ruefully.
From the school gate to the field's announcement board, a distance of less than 2,000 meters, there were a total of five groups of people who stopped Sun Mo and sent out invitations.
One of them offered a price that as long as Sun Mo was willing to come to their school, they would give him the position of a vice-headmaster.
This meant that they were going to nurture Sun Mo as the next headmaster.
Naturally, whether he could become the next headmaster or not would depend on him competing with the other candidates. However, this promise was already a sign that they regarded Sun Mo highly.
One must know that the headmasters appointed by famous schools would have a deep connection with the school. Only then would the headmaster wholeheartedly contribute to the school.
"Thank you!"
A smile appeared on Sun Mo's lips.
No matter what era it was, fame was the most important indicator to measure a great teacher's status. Only when one's fame was great enough would there be a large number of students coming to learn from them.
This way, it would be easier for them to discover good seedlings. If not, they might not be able to recruit a student with good aptitude even after a year.
"Why didn't anyone from the Nine Greats come to invite teachers?"
Lu Zhiruo was unhappy. The people who came were all trash. Even in their respective grades, they were ranked in the middle and weren't very famous.
"Because the good schools are all watching from the sidelines. They have their own information channels and would probe the price of the other schools to adjust their headhunting strategy."
Li Ziqi explained.
Good schools had the capital to wait and see. It was just like Real Madrid and Barca buying players. Even if other teams had already negotiated with the players, even if they had already signed the contract, they could still cut in.
In order to join these two powerhouse clubs, it was common for players to go on strike from training, voluntarily reduce their salaries, and even make official announcements to express their dreams of joining the club.
This was the influence of the Universe team.
In the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, those few top-notch famous schools could be said to be the ultimate dream of all great teachers.
In the best school, receiving the highest salary and benefits, teaching the most talented students, enjoying the envy and jealousy of others …
Which great teacher wouldn't want to live a life of superiority?
"These schools are so arrogant."
The papaya girl's lips twitched. She felt that Sun Mo was the best, and the Nine Greats should hurry over to headhunt him, offering him a fat contract with the utmost sincerity.
"I don't care if they are arrogant or not. I'm not leaving anyway!"
Sun Mo smiled.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiuxun silently heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was still worried and couldn't help but ask, "Why? Is it because of Sister Xinhui? "
"No!"
Sun Mo shook his head. "Compared to joining a supreme-grade famous school, I want to bring a school that's about to be delisted to become a supreme-grade school. Also, don't you guys feel that it's a very cool thing to overturn those nine supreme-grade schools and let the Central Province Academy stand at the peak of the Nine Provinces?"
"..."
Gu Xiuxun was frightened by Sun Mo's tone.
Tantai Yutang's lips twitched. He really wanted to say, 'Teacher, your goal is a little too unrealistic. In this lifetime, if you can bring the Central Province Academy into the ranks of the Nine Greats, you'll have to burn incense to thank the gods.'
"Teacher is so tyrannical."
Lu Zhiruo's big eyes seemed to be flickering with stars as she looked at him with worship.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo rubbed the papaya girl's hair.
Honestly speaking, he looked down on those fellows who joined the 'I can't win against them' the most. What was the point of obtaining the championship trophy like that?
Sun Mo's life creed was that this daddy was awesome because he was Sun Mo. It wasn't because he was working in a famous school and that he was awesome because he had the halo of a famous school.
"Let's go and draw lots."
Sun Mo turned and left.
The announcement board stated that those who passed could head to the teaching office to draw lots as soon as possible. At 2 pm, the Great Teachers Battle would officially begin.
"Who is that guy earlier? His words are so arrogant! "
After seeing Sun Mo's departing back view, an examinee with some balding spots couldn't help but ask. After all, Sun Mo didn't intentionally lower his voice, hence, his words were heard by others.
"You don't even know Sun Mo? How are you going to survive in the great teacher world? "
Someone teased.
"What? He is Sun Mo? "
The examinee scratched his head. He didn't feel any admiration or desire to get to know Sun Mo. On the contrary, he grew excited and wanted nothing more than to be matched against Sun Mo.
(As long as I defeat Sun Mo, I'll become famous in a single battle!)
It wasn't only the examinee with balding spots who had this thought. Hence, when Liu Tong saw that his opponent was Sun Mo, he was stunned for a moment before feeling happy.
(Sun Mo, sorry, I'm going to step on you to become famous.)
...
"Luckily, it's not a civil war!"
After Gu Xiuxun saw her opponent's name, she heaved a sigh of relief. If she was matched against Sun Mo, she would definitely take the initiative to admit defeat because she truly wouldn't be able to win against him.
...
The weather in Westmountain City today was cloudy. It wasn't hot and there was wind. It was a good weather suitable for combat.
Just after 1 pm, there were already many examinees who came to the field to familiarize themselves with the place.
The field of Westmountain City was divided into a total of 12 areas. The preliminary round would be held here, and only the victors of the second round would have the qualifications to enter the battle dojo and fight on the arena inside.
At this stage, the great teacher confrontation was also a chance for the examinees to broaden their horizons and increase their experience. But in terms of quality, it would only gradually increase after the second round.
Very soon, the competition started. Some battles were in a stalemate, some were insta-killed, and there were also some who were more unlucky and had to give up because of diarrhea.
One couldn't help but say that the food in Westmountain City was too spicy. Just a slightly spicy dish was enough to make a man from the north who didn't eat spicy food kneel.
In this place, the word 'spicy' was the most worthless. Even if the waiters of the restaurants added the word 'spicy' ten times, you wouldn't believe them.
"I'm going to compete. I hope everything goes smoothly!"
Gu Xiuxun lightly hammered Sun Mo's shoulder. After that, she went to her arena.
Sun Mo also hurriedly squeezed his way to the 9th arena. Because the Saint Gate didn't prohibit outsiders from spectating, the Westmountain Academy was filled with people today. Other than the examinees and their personal students, many citizens of Westmountain City had also come to watch the liveliness.
Who wouldn't like to see others fighting until their heads were bleeding?
Moreover, Westmountain City had also set up all sorts of bets, betting on the final victor of the Great Teachers Battle. It was said that the biggest reward was as high as one million silver taels.
After five rounds of competition in the 9th arena, the main examiner called out Sun Mo's name.
"# 198 Sun Mo, # 716 Liu Tong, come up for a duel!"
Swoosh!
The originally noisy surroundings instantly quietened down. The heads of everyone immediately turned left and right, searching for Sun Mo's silhouette, wanting to see what this rising star looked like.
At the next second, the people in the surroundings also started to flock over. After all, Sun Mo was very popular, and many people had bet on him getting into the top ten.
"What's going on?"
"I heard that Sun Mo is going up!"
"Quickly go and take a look. The 9th arena is going up for Sun Mo!"
"F * ck, who dares to touch my butt? This old lady will chop off your hand! "
The scene was a little chaotic.
"Silence!"
The 40-year-old main examiner roared. Under the augmentation of Lingering Sound, his voice was like thunder, rumbling in the ears of everyone, causing them to grimace in pain and cover their ears in discomfort.
"Sun Mo, Liu Tong, come up!"
The main examiner urged. Although his expression was calm, he was very curious about Sun Mo's combat strength in his heart.
Sun Mo walked into the white limestone line.
"F * ck, isn't he a little too handsome?"
"Che, maybe his spearhead looks like silver!"
"Since he is so handsome, it's fine as long as he has a spearhead. Time doesn't matter."
Some women exclaimed in shock, and some men were jealous. Sun Mo was actually a man with both talent and looks. How could others live?
Liu Tong was a shorty with a height of less than 1.5 meters. Because of his sturdy physique, he looked like a small tank. His four limbs were too short, hence, he chose a 12 meter long spear as his weapon to make up for the disadvantage of his body.
"If I win against him, I'll become famous in a single battle. At the very least, a 'C' grade famous school would come to headhunt me, right? Alright, even if it's just a D grade school, I don't mind. "
Liu Tongchang thought about his bright future. Because of his appearance, although his grades were good, it was very difficult for him to find a job. In the end, he could only work in an ordinary school.
"So what if I'm ugly? Can't he teach students if he's ugly? "
Looking at Sun Mo's tall and straight figure, Liu Tong decided to break Sun Mo's legs. By doing so, Sun Mo would be as tall as him.
"Sun Mo, second level of the divine force realm. Please guide me!"
Sun Mo cupped his fists.
Hua!
Hearing Sun Mo reporting his cultivation base, the spectators couldn't help but exclaim in shock. Given Sun Mo's age, this cultivation base was very high!
One must know that on top of cultivating, master teachers also had to accumulate knowledge, conduct lessons, and impart knowledge to others. Time was extremely tight, and to a master teacher, it was already an incredible feat for them to reach this level before forty.
Even the main examiner and the two vice examiners couldn't help but cast sidelong glances at Sun Mo.
The originally aggressive Liu Tong felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Sun Mo didn't look down on him.
One had to know that he had been ridiculed a lot because of his height.
"Alright, since you're so polite, I'll break one of your legs!"
Liu Tong made his decision and clasped his fists.
"Liu Tong, third level of the divine force realm. Please guide me!"
Liu Tong's expression was filled with confidence. (A 20-year-old divine force realm cultivator is sufficient to prove that you are a genius. I admit that I'm inferior to you, but I'm sorry. At this moment, my cultivation base just happens to be higher than yours.
Hence, I'll kindly accept the victory for this round!)
(Ha!)
Upon hearing Liu Tong's cultivation base, some people who wanted to watch a good show laughed. Most probably, Sun Mo would suffer a setback in his first round.
