Looking at Han Xi's data, Sun Mo felt admiration in his heart. Honestly speaking, he wouldn't be able to reach this level.
Back then in university, Sun Mo was just an ordinary hardworking student. He would go to internet cafes to play games, attend classes, and study hard before exams. Other than dating, he had done everything.
According to the common saying, one would gain freedom after attending university. However, Sun Mo had seen a classmate who was so hardworking that it caused others to be afraid.
Every night, he would study in the classroom or the library until the library closed. In order to save time, he wouldn't even eat breakfast and would buy two buns to go to the classroom to study while eating.
Let alone a week, it was already very impressive for him to persist for three days. However, he did this for four years, regardless of the weather.
Naturally, the reward he received was that he would get all the scholarships for each semester. When he was about to graduate, he would find a good job and stay in the city. A few years later, he would buy a house and a wife who wasn't very beautiful but was very virtuous. He had completed the leap from a poor kid from a poor mountain area to a city dweller.
Someone asked him why he didn't take the postgraduate examination. He said that he had no money and no time and needed to work to support his family. His current life was pretty good.
This classmate of his had changed his life through hard work.
However, to Han Xi who was born in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, even if she worked 10,000 times harder, she wouldn't be able to break through her ceiling.
Because this was a world that looked at talent.
When you were born, your aptitude was already set. Unless your luck was heaven-defying and you obtained heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures to improve your aptitude, you wouldn't be able to do so.
Han Xi was better than those who couldn't sense spirit qi. But when compared to Xuanyuan Po, she was like the mud at her feet and the clouds in the sky.
Xuanyuan Po didn't need to breathe and could naturally absorb spirit qi. Han Xi would need to meditate for at least two hours before she could catch up.
As long as one had pride in their heart, who would be willing to live like this forever?
(It's not my fault that my aptitude is bad.)
Han Xi looked at Sun Mo's eyes, filled with the desire to battle. She didn't just want to fight against Sun Mo, she also wanted to fight against her own fate.
(My aptitude is bad and no teacher is willing to accept me as a disciple. Since that's the case, I'll train myself. If I can't catch up to a genius in an hour, I'll use five hours or ten hours. At most, I'll just sleep for two hours every day.
(As long as I work hard, I'll be able to catch up a little. But once I give up, there'll really be no hope.)
And now, the opportunity had finally come.
(If I defeat Sun Mo, defeat a genius like him who is the focus of everyone's attention. I'll definitely be able to gain the recognition of all the great teachers here.)
Until now, Han Xi could not forget that her mother had sold her dowry golden hairpin and the only old hen in the house. She had pooled together enough money to bring Han Xi to be apprenticed to him. In the end, she had been scolded by that fellow for daydreaming and chased out of the house that afternoon.
The golden hairpin is Niangqin's only jewelry, and it is also the dowry from her ancestors. Even if its color has faded, it is still Niangqin's most precious thing.
The old hen was Han Xi's childhood playmate. It was also her favorite and most cherished friend. Although she could only eat the eggs laid by the old hen when she was sick, it was definitely the most delicious food she had ever eaten. It was the most unforgettable delicacy of her childhood.
The golden hairpin was sold, the old hen was also sold, but in exchange, she was told to find an honest man and marry him peacefully. She had no talent for cultivation.
That day was the darkest day of Han Xi's life. It was also the day she lost all hope.
For the next three years, the 12-year-old Han Xi lived an ordinary life of a farmer's daughter. She was even engaged and was preparing to get married. It was only until her mother fell seriously ill and was on her deathbed that she cried and complained to her.
(I've let you down, I didn't give you a body that can cultivate.)
That day, Han Xi knew that when she was young, her mother had already asked the village head's son to take a look at her when he came back to visit his parents.
That person was a powerful 2-star great teacher and had good judgment. The evaluation he gave her was that her aptitude wasn't good and she wasn't suitable for cultivation.
Her mother knew that she didn't have any talent, but when she begged her bitterly, she sold the golden hairpin and the old hen that could lay an egg every day to gather enough money to bring Han Xi to be apprenticed to that person.
Maybe her mother didn't want to see her sad. Or maybe her mother felt that the 2-star great teacher had judged wrongly and that she still had the possibility to cultivate...
But on that day, she disappointed her mother.
Honestly speaking, Han Xi hated her mother. Why did she have to give birth to trash? But later on, her hatred turned into love. This was especially so on the day her mother passed away.
Her mother, who was on her deathbed, grabbed onto Han Xi's hand tightly, not willing to let go. She blamed herself and felt guilty, but she couldn't let go of Han Xi. She hoped that Han Xi would be able to live a good life in the future.
Even until now, Han Xi couldn't forget the look in her mother's eyes. She hated herself for being useless yet couldn't bear to part with her daughter.
After her mother was buried, Han Xi ran away and went to the academy to work. Because she secretly learned cultivation arts, she was even beaten up. After that, she accidentally comprehended the self-taught technique and walked on the path of a great teacher.
"30 years? Or 31 years? "
Because Han Xi was focused on cultivation, she even forgot her exact age. "But it doesn't matter. Mother, today is the day I become famous. If your spirit is in heaven, please take a look!"
After praying in her heart, Han Xi's battle intent grew even stronger.
"Han Xi, fifth level of the divine force realm. Please guide me!"
At this realm, she didn't consume any peak-grade alchemy pills or heavenly ingredients or earthly treasures. She had to rely on hard work and cultivate bit by bit.
"Sun Mo, third level of the divine force realm. Please guide me!"
Sun Mo admired Han Xi a lot. He originally wanted to say that she wouldn't be able to win against him and invite her to join the Central Province Academy. But now, when he saw Han Xi's gaze, he didn't say anything.
(For this battle, I'll go all out. This is my respect for you.)
"I haven't said to start yet!"
The main examiner's lips twitched. But just as Sun Mo finished his greeting, Han Xi rushed out. Her long blade slashed out furiously, resembling rolling thunder.
Sun Mo didn't retreat but advanced instead. His wooden blade slashed out and faced the attack head-on.
"What's going on? Why is Teacher so serious? Isn't he afraid of beating her to death? "
Jiang Leng leaned forward and opened his eyes wide, paying attention to the battlefield.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Li Ziqi and the other three looked over, their faces filled with shock. Even the combat addict was no exception.
"Deadface, you actually spoke?"
Tantai Yutang was surprised. He then glanced at the arena. "You like that Han Xi?"
"Scram!"
Jiang Leng cursed.
"So junior brother Jiang likes this type of taste?"
Tantai Yutang frowned. (This won't do. The taste of young girls is the sweetest. There's a problem with your sense of beauty. As your senior brother, I have to help you correct it.)
"Teacher is indeed serious!"
Lu Zhiruo frowned. Could it be that there was a problem with this opponent? Such a serious teacher caused her to recall the scene when she fought against Daoist White Bird at the Daoist temple in the suburbs.
How terrifying was Sun Mo when he went all out?
With just a single slash, he directly scattered Han Xi's lightning-like blade force.
"Beautiful!"
This slash also caused many major characters to praise loudly, causing the eyes of many great teachers and examiners to brighten.
Han Xi's blade art was very skilled and profound. Clearly, she had spent a large amount of time and effort to cultivate it. There were no flaws in her attacks, but when she fought against Sun Mo, she was directly suppressed.
It was like a martial arts grandmaster had unleashed a move that had reached perfection. After that, it was flattened by a nuclear warhead.
Although Sun Mo had just casually slashed out a slash, this was a counterattack executed with the help of Divine Sight, the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, the Wind King Divine Steps, and the Immemorial Vairocana.
Four peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts represented four types of peak-level powers.
"There's no way to win!"
Mei Yazhi shook her head and sighed. Han Xi's aptitude wasn't good enough, but since she could unleash such a slash, it meant that she had put in a lot of effort.
However, it wasn't enough!
"That's right, the Second Moon Willow Blade is an inferior-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. Even if she cultivated it to perfection, she wouldn't be able to win against a saint-tier cultivation art!"
Tong Yiming sighed ruefully.
Han Xi's cultivation base was two levels higher than Sun Mo, but honestly speaking, there was a limit to the amount of spirit qi she could store. Because Sun Mo was a genius, his spirit qi reserves far surpassed those of the same level.
It could be said that for people like Sun Mo, it was only fair to jump levels and fight someone of the same level as him.
"It's too cruel. Teacher Sun, why is he so serious?"
The other big shots felt that Han Qian would probably collapse after this battle.
When the audience saw the battle starting, they wanted to cheer for Han Xi, but in the end, they shut their mouths because the scene before them was simply too shocking.
Han Xi only unleashed a single slash. After that, it became Sun Mo's performance.
He executed the Wind King Divine Steps and kept on shifting his position. Han Xi couldn't even capture Sun Mo's movements. The Grand Universe Formless Divine Art's [Copy] and Divine Sight allowed Sun Mo to not miss any of Han Xi's movements. Even if it was a sudden glance, he would be able to see it clearly.
Before Han Xi made a move, Sun Mo had already started to predict her movements.
After that, he unleashed Immemorial Vairocana, causing the audience to be mesmerized. As for Han Xi, she was in a dumbfounded state from start to finish.
"How powerful, but I can't give up. As long as I don't fall off the stage and die, I still have a chance."
Han Xi bit her tongue fiercely. Fresh blood flowed out, bringing with it a fishy smell and pain. This caused her spirit to jolt. After that, she took the risk of getting injured and distanced herself from Sun Mo.
After that, she waved her blade and slashed toward the floor.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Blade qi shot out in all directions, slicing through the floor.
Han Xi lifted her leg and stomped down forcefully.
Bang!
Dust flew up and the shattered pieces of the floor were sent flying into the air. After that, Han Xi turned in the air and her blade force was like a tornado.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The strong wind brought along the stone slabs and smashed toward Sun Mo. They were like hailstones that covered the stage.
"This battle strategy is a little interesting!"
Xuanyuan Po was surprised. He didn't expect Han Xi to be able to retaliate.
"Hehe, Teacher might screw up!"
Tantai Yutang teased.
"Impossible!"
Lu Zhiruo shook her head very firmly.
"It doesn't exist!"
Li Ziqi rolled her eyes.
"Why don't you go and die?"
Ying Baiwu glared at the sickly invalid.
On the other side of the spectator stand, Hua Jianmu grabbed the railing tightly. His heart felt as though it was being gripped tightly by the hand of the grim reaper.
"I'm willing to use ten years of my lifespan to exchange for Teacher's victory!"
Hua Jianmu prayed. He knew that his teacher had been waiting for this victory for a very long time.
