Sun Mo's Priceless Advice was at the grandmaster-grade. Its effect was extremely strong.
Those golden motes of light splashed onto Liu Tong's body, causing him to be stunned as he froze on the spot. His body also rapidly glowed with golden light.
At this moment, Liu Tong felt as though his brain was struck by a bell. The bitter experiences he had when he was 40 years old flashed through his mind.
(That's right, when did I start to look down on myself?)
When others ridiculed him, he pretended not to hear them. When others mocked him, he pretended not to see them. When he was young, where did the courage he had when he was insulted by bad kids go?
"I..."
Liu Tong revealed a bitter smile, filled with the helplessness and sorrow of life.
"It's not your fault that you are ugly. But if you don't know how to retaliate after being insulted by others, that would be your fault."
Sun Mo persuaded patiently.
"By the way, although you are ugly, you have a lot of potential."
Sun Mo consoled.
"Teacher Sun, you are praising me too much. I'm very clear what kind of material I am!"
Liu Tong clasped his fists and repeatedly said that he didn't dare to accept it.
Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo naturally wouldn't doubt their teacher's words. However, Gu Xiuxun, Li Ruolan, and even Xie Cang couldn't help but carefully survey Liu Tong.
They really couldn't see anything different about him!
Honestly speaking, Liu Tong couldn't be called a dwarf. There was no problem even if he was called a dwarf.
"Sun Mo, if I'm not wrong, this should be your first time meeting him, right? How do you know that his potential isn't bad? "
Gu Xiuxun was curious.
This was also the doubt of the others.
"I sensed it from his moves!"
Sun Mo smiled.
He didn't lie. If it was someone with extremely high potential value and had a bad character, Sun Mo wouldn't have invited him. However, each of Liu Tong's moves had a simple yet solid feeling to them.
This meant that Liu Tong could endure loneliness and could endure mockery. He didn't succeed because he didn't have a good great teacher to guide him.
One could say that even though Liu Tong was older, he was still a piece of unpolished jade.
"Tsk, what a strange way of speaking!"
The citizens jeered, clearly not believing it. Luckily, Liu Tong wasn't a beauty. Otherwise, everyone would have started to guess that Sun Mo wanted to woo her.
Xie Cang and Gu Xiuxun fell into contemplation. At their level, they could indeed sense something from each other's combat style.
"…"
Liu Tong looked at Sun Mo's sincere smile. Honestly speaking, even he was stunned. (Could it be that I'm really very talented?) Thinking about it carefully, why would a person like him be deceived?
Sold to the mines as slave labor?
Perhaps the slave owners would even think that he was too short and weak and feed him to the dogs.
"Liu shi, I know that this matter might have a huge impact on you, but there's no need to be anxious. Think about it carefully and tell me your answer before the master teacher examination ends."
Sun Mo smiled. "But let me say something first. I definitely won't give up."
"I can sense Teacher Sun's sincerity, but may I be so impudent as to ask if you can make the decision?"
After asking this question, Liu Tong's heart was already thumping wildly.
That was the Central Province Academy, a 'C' grade famous school. In the past, it had even been ranked among the Nine Greats and had a glorious history.
How can someone like me work in such a famous school?
"Our teacher is one of the vice-headmasters of the Central Province Academy. He's in charge of finance and logistics."
Li Ziqi introduced, her expression filled with pride.
Hiss!
Hearing these words, loud exclamations rang out in the surroundings.
How old was Sun Mo?
Yet, he was already in a high position like a vice-headmaster?
Moreover, he was in charge of finance and logistics?
One must know that this wasn't a nominal position. It was a position with real authority in every school. As long as one could obtain either power or money, they would be a major character in the school.
"Has the headmaster of the Central Province Academy gone crazy? Even if Sun Mo is his biological son, he can't promote him like this, right? Isn't he afraid that the school will be crippled? "
Someone questioned.
"The main point is, why would the others be convinced?"
The core teachers of a school would surely not be young. Why would they listen to the leadership of a young man who was only in his twenties?
If they asked themselves honestly, they would definitely feel unhappy about this.
After all, Sun Mo was a famous person now. Hence, a lot of information regarding him had circulated around. Those who knew about him immediately reported it.
"The old headmaster of the Central Province Academy failed to break through to the saint realm. Right now, his granddaughter is the headmaster. Sun Mo is her childhood sweetheart and is also the grandson-in-law that the old headmaster personally appointed!"
After hearing this, the people who were burning with gossipy hearts were suddenly enlightened. As expected, there was a shady transaction going on behind the scenes.
Sun Mo was talented, this was something no one could deny. But if you said that Sun Mo could be the vice-headmaster of a famous school, that would be nonsense.
Gu Xiuxun looked at the expressions of disbelief on the faces of the people in the surroundings. She felt that it was unfair for Sun Mo and really wanted to shout out. Sun Mo was the person in charge of the logistics department of the Central Province Academy. He had resolved the financial crisis and gotten rid of the redundant personnel. He had also pushed away the powerful vice-headmaster Zhang Hanfu, allowing the school to regain its vitality.
Without Sun Mo, the Central Province Academy would have fallen out of the'D 'grade and lost its status as a famous school.
"Teacher Liu, although I admire you a lot, I have to say something ugly first. The competition in the Central Province Academy is very intense. Other than the basic salary, they will also give bonuses based on individual performance. The better you do, the more rewards you will receive. But once your performance falls below the bottom line, sorry, you will be fired."
Sun Mo intentionally provoked Liu Tong.
As expected, Liu Tong revealed a perturbed expression. Actually, he was already planning to give it a try in his heart.
"The doors of my Central Province Academy have always been open. Young elites, if you wish to display your talents, you can come to the Central Province Academy to apply for a job."
Sun Mo suddenly spoke loudly and started to advertise.
One couldn't help but say that some great teachers who weren't in a good situation felt their hearts stirring. After all, a 'C' grade famous school was fine too.
"Cough cough, Teacher Sun, please pay attention to the situation. This is the Great Teachers Battle's arena."
The main examiner finally regained his senses. He urged Sun Mo to leave and not disturb others.
"Main examiner, the competition has ended."
The secondary examiner reminded, but his gaze was surveying Sun Mo.
The winner standing on the arena wasn't old, but there were already patches of bald spots on his head. Right now, he had a depressed look on his face as he looked at Sun Mo with hidden bitterness.
The first round was a good start. Moreover, his performance wasn't bad and he fought beautifully. If this was seen by others, he would surely win the applause of everyone and become famous after a single battle.
In the end, no one paid any attention to him.
Damnable Sun Mo!
The bald great teacher cursed.
"Sorry."
After Sun Mo apologized, he led his students away.
At this moment, the system's voice rang out.
Ding!
"New mission issued. Please recruit Liu Tong as a great teacher under you and nurture him into a great teacher of virtue and prestige. At the very least, he must be a 5-star great teacher."
"..."
Sun Mo's footsteps paused. 5-star? System, do you have confidence in me? Or do you have confidence in Liu Tong's potential?
"Teacher Sun, wait a minute!"
Li Ruolan immediately chased after him.
Huala!
As Sun Mo left, the spectators were no longer interested in staying behind. They dispersed and went to watch the competition they were interested in.
At this moment, the two great teachers who had been impatiently waiting to make a name for themselves went up the stage. However, when they saw that the surroundings had instantly emptied out, their desire to perform was like a squirrel whose head had been smashed by a baseball bat.
"Don't leave!"
A great teacher shouted, but it was useless. All he could see was the back of their heads that were getting further and further away.
"Main examiner, what do you think Sun Mo means?"
The secondary examiner was curious.
"He should be using this chance to buy horse bones with a thousand gold!"
The main examiner analyzed. He really didn't feel that Liu Tong had any potential. A fellow who had only reached the third level of the divine force realm at the age of 40, if he wasn't trash, what was he?
The secondary examiner nodded. He felt the same way as well.
...
"Teacher Sun, Teacher Sun, please wait a moment. I wish to interview you."
Li Ruolan chased after Sun Mo and welcomed him with a smile. Sadly, Sun Mo was completely unmoved.
"May I ask if that Teacher Liu whom you said you admire is buying horse bones with a thousand gold for everyone to see? However, I feel that you might have miscalculated. Even if they passed the test, they would only be 2-star great teachers. They wouldn't be able to bring a qualitative improvement to the Central Province Academy. "
Li Ruolan's words were sharp, and the questions she asked were quite tricky.
She also didn't feel that Liu Tong had any potential. If she were to give him a mark, it would be too much.
"I'm just purely admiring Liu Tong."
Sun Mo's tone was calm. "Also, don't follow me anymore. It's very annoying!"
Upon hearing Sun Mo talking to Li Ruolan, who was ranked # 11 on the Devastating Beauty Rankings, Gu Xiuxun and Li Ziqi both gave him a thumbs up.
Li Ruolan started. Ever since she started cultivating, she had never suffered such cold treatment before. For a time, she froze on the spot.
Seeing Sun Mo leaving without even turning his head back, Li Ruolan was finally sure that Sun Mo wasn't playing hard to get. He really didn't want to accept the interview.
"Damn, within three months, this old lady will definitely make you grovel under my skirt."
Li Ruolan was so angry that she tossed the voice-recording stone in her hand. But very soon, she picked it up again and prepared to interview Xie Cang.
There was no solution to it. Sun Mo was the most popular character now. If she wrote about others, there wouldn't be any readers to read!
...
Liu Tong had just returned to the hotel when his personal student, Zhang Pan, rushed over after hearing the news.
"Teacher, how's the battle result?"
Looking at Zhang Pan's look of anticipation, Liu Tong only felt incomparably awkward. He couldn't say the word 'lost' no matter what.
Zhang Pan was only lame, but he wasn't a fool. When he saw Liu Tong's appearance, he already knew the result. However, he was only disappointed for a few seconds before he squeezed out a smile and consoled Liu Tong.
"Teacher, let's come again next year. We will definitely be able to pass!"
At this time, his teacher should be even more disappointed than him. Hence, even though Zhang Pan knew that there was almost no chance for him to pass next year, he still did his best to console him.
"I'm sorry!"
Seeing the concerned gaze of his personal student, Liu Tong instantly teared up. He had disappointed Zhang Pan again. Even until now, he still remembered that in order to prove himself, Zhang Pan endured the pain in his leg and cultivated until late at night.
Sadly, he couldn't even give Sun Mo a chance to go up.
"Teacher, let's go back tomorrow?"
Zhang Pan suggested. Since there was no more hope, he had to face reality. He knew that his teacher was a poor ghost and the school wouldn't reimburse his travel expenses for this examination. Hence, if he stayed in the hotel for another day, it would be an additional burden for him.
Next month, he would have to eat buns for many days.
Liu Tong gritted his teeth. He was also a man and had his pride. He didn't wish to be looked down upon by Zhang Pan.
"Pan`er, let's wait a few more days!"
Liu Tong made his decision.
"Ah?"
Zhang Pan was surprised. "You want to see the results?"
Zhang Pan originally wanted to say that the [Great Teachers Report] would publish the results. But when he thought of how his teacher had failed, he gave up on persuading him. He wanted his teacher to play for a few more days and relax.
"No, after the examination ends, I plan to have a detailed discussion with Teacher Sun. Oh, it's Sun Mo, Black Doggy Sun!"
Liu Tong explained.
"God Hands?"
Zhang Pan was shocked. "One-Dog Sun?"
"Yes!"
Liu Tong nodded.
"..."
Zhang Pan really wanted to ask, how did you know such a famous person? Let alone in the Westmountain Range, even in his own school, Liu Tong was invisible.
When his colleagues gathered for a meal, they would never call him out.
"He invited me to teach in the Central Province Academy!"
After Liu Tong spoke, he saw Zhang Pan's expression immediately changing from bewilderment to shock and then to excitement. Even his breathing was hurried.
As Zhang Pan's personal teacher, he had never done anything that could make Zhang Pan proud. This was the only time he had done so.
"Teacher Sun, if I have the qualifications to enter the Central Province Academy, I will definitely do my best to repay your kindness!"
Liu Tong silently vowed.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Liu Tong + 500. Friendly (500/1,000).
"The Central Province Academy is a'D 'grade famous school, right?"
When Zhang Pan was in school, he had researched about those famous schools. After all, who wouldn't want to go to a famous school? Sadly, his lame leg didn't give him a chance.
"'C' grade, it just got promoted last year."
Liu Tong introduced.
"'C' grade..."
Gulp. Zhang Pan gulped down a mouthful of saliva. One must know that as Liu Tong's personal student, once his teacher went to work in the Central Province Academy, even if his results were very bad, he would have the qualifications to study there.
"If my mother knew of this, she would surely be so happy that she would slaughter that 100 kilogram pig at home to celebrate for me."
Zhang Pan's eyes were filled with hope. But very soon, he grew suspicious.
"Teacher, could that Sun Mo be a swindler?"
After Zhang Pan spoke, he suddenly realized that his words were belittling his teacher a little. However, he couldn't be blamed for thinking too much. After all, Liu Tong was truly useless.
The number of times he had seen his teacher drinking wine was no less than a hundred times.
"Absolutely not."
At this time, Liu Tong could only hang on. (Maybe it's like what Sun Mo said. I'm a genius, it's just that I don't know about it.)
(Pui pui pui!)
(Liu Tong, you are too arrogant after being invited by Sun Mo. If you look at yourself in the mirror, even the mirror would shatter in disdain.)
...
At 5 pm, the first round of the competition ended.
The losers would be eliminated and sent back home. As for the victors, they would continue to draw lots. After resting and storing up their energy, they would officially participate in the promotion battle tomorrow.
Gu Xiuxun drew number 35, Sun Mo drew number 178, and Xia Yuan also passed. She drew number 323.
"I hope I won't encounter a strong opponent!"
Xia Yuan prayed.
Not only did the examinees not know the name of their opponent, but they also didn't know which round it was. This eliminated any possibility of cheating.
Sun Mo also felt the pressure. His age and cultivation period were his greatest shortcomings. Those middle-aged great teachers who had taken the examination a few times weren't weak.
"Luckily, I have a divine force fruit!"
After dinner, Sun Mo got Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu to help him guard the door. After that, he stayed in his bedroom and consumed the divine force fruit that he had been saving up.
He would level up first before thinking about anything else.
Sun Mo already had the experience of consuming divine force fruits. In addition, his aptitude wasn't bad. Hence, there were no surprises or dangers during the entire process.
After that, the second day arrived and the intense battles began.
