Because of the obstruction from the shattered floorboards, Sun Mo's movement was restricted and he had no choice but to slow down. Han Xi took this opportunity to rush before Sun Mo.
Willow Swaying in the Wind.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The swift blade slashed out consecutively, like the spring breeze in February. It was light, clear, and traceless, constantly brushing toward Sun Mo's body.
Sun Mo still didn't dodge.
Crows Cry at Night, Colors of Autumn!
Swish!
This attack was like splashing ink. After it was unleashed, Han Xi's attack instantly dissipated. Then, at the next instant, she was engulfed by the endless blade attacks.
Sun Mo started his combo again.
Han Xi was on the verge of collapse. Every block would exhaust all of her mental energy.
It was too difficult!
It was too difficult!
Sun Mo's frenzied attacks caused Han Xi to feel like she was a broken boat amidst a raging storm and a tsunami. She would capsize at any moment.
The immense pressure gushing toward her was like a pair of large hands that tore at Han Xi's nerves, causing her to feel like her head was about to split open. Because she widened her eyes to capture Sun Mo's every movement, her eyes were starting to turn bloodshot.
An intense sense of despair rose in Han Xi's heart.
(I really can't win!)
(However, I mustn't give up. Once I give up, I won't have any more chances.)
"Sun Mo is so strong!"
"Yeah, I felt that Sun Mo had an advantage when Xie Cang gave up. But from the looks of things now, that might not be the case!"
"Sun Mo will definitely advance to the next round. I'm so envious!"
"Look at Sun Mo's attitude. He's clearly aiming for the championship. I want to know who can stop him now!"
The examinees discussed. This was especially so for those in the upper half. They all had gloomy looks on their faces, worried that they would encounter Sun Mo in the next round. If that happened, they would have to stop in advance.
Actually, entering this round could already be considered as advancing. However, who wouldn't want to get a good ranking? After all, there were so many major characters spectating. If they caught their eye, they'd be like a carp leaping through the dragon gate.
What was the dragon gate?
It was naturally a famous school. This was especially so for a 'B' grade school and above. After entering it, one's value would naturally increase. Even if they were to change jobs in the future, they'd have more choices.
Bai Shuang watched coldly from the side. Her frown deepened. It wasn't because Sun Mo was strong, but because the cultivation art he occasionally used really resembled the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art.
This was also because Sun Mo was more careful and didn't use the Invulnerable Golden Body and 'An eye for an eye' in public. It was because if he added the Kun Qian Clone, it would be the signature move of the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art.
"As expected of a genius, but only by defeating this kind of opponent will it feel good!"
Shan Shi stared at Sun Mo, itching to go up and fight. At that time, he would step on Sun Mo's head and shock everyone.
The more Sun Mo fought, the weaker his attacks became.
He had no choice but to soften his heart.
This situation was really bullying. It was like a pay-to-win player bullying a newbie who hadn't even learned a single skill.
"I won't beat her until she becomes autistic, right?"
Sun Mo decided to stop, but at this moment, Han Xi's eyes brightened.
"Chance!"
Han Xi thought that Sun Mo's spirit qi consumption was too great and he wasn't able to keep up for a short period of time, causing him to be exhausted and his attacks to weaken. However, to a genius like Sun Mo, such a 'mistake' could definitely be made up for immediately. Hence, Han Xi didn't even think about it and directly charged toward Sun Mo.
Bang!
Han Xi's left hand forcefully received Sun Mo's wooden blade. The sharp attack directly caused her arm to bend, and a portion of her muscles were torn. However, she gritted her teeth and didn't make any sound. After that, her right hand gripped the blade tightly and she unleashed her strongest attack.
Willow Leaf Cut, Second Month Fall!
Swoosh!
The dust on the ground rose even though there was no wind. A moment later, tender green willow leaves started to drift before Sun Mo's eyes. They were so vivid and lifelike, even causing one to smell the scent of soil and grass.
"Beautiful!"
The main examiner couldn't help but praise. He didn't expect that Han Xi could cultivate an inferior-grade heaven-tier cultivation art to such a level.
How much time had she spent on this?
"What a pity!"
Tong Yiming shook his head. The aptitude displayed by Han Xi was ordinary, but her heart and will were truly tenacious. Also, she was so hardworking. If it was a more powerful cultivation art, Sun Mo would definitely suffer today.
Mei Yazhi sighed. The aristocratic clans and famous schools controlled those top-notch cultivation arts. It was simply too difficult for commoners like Han Xi who were born in a lowly position to learn them. She either had to join them or pay a great price to exchange for a chance to borrow them.
Mei Yazhi wanted to change this situation, but it was too difficult.
"Sun Mo is going to lose?"
Jiang Zhitong was agitated and almost stood up.
Some people who were unhappy with Sun Mo also started to cheer. However, at the next instant, all the voices abruptly stopped.
Because Sun Mo had made his move.
Begonia under the Moon!
The willow leaves on the stage directly exploded, turning into dust and vanishing. Han Xi coughed up blood and was flung through the air. After flying for over 30 meters, she fell off the stage.
Bang!
The huge impact caused Han Xi to cough up another mouthful of blood.
However, compared to the injuries on her body, the pain was still greater in her heart.
"I still lost!"
Han Xi bitterly smiled. She really didn't have any chance of winning at all.
When Sun Mo's Begonia Under the Moon was unleashed, Han Xi didn't even understand how Sun Mo had unleashed his ultimate skill and what had happened exactly.
"Teacher will win for sure..."
On the spectator stand, Hua Jianmu had an agitated look on his face and was preparing to cheer for his teacher. However, his teacher was defeated in the blink of an eye. This caused him to clench his fists tightly. He subconsciously jumped down from the spectator stand and entered the arena.
However, before Hua Jianmu could rush over, he was stopped by the staff nearby.
"Sun Mo is victorious for this round!"
The main examiner announced. After that, he added a rare sentence, "However, Teacher Han fought extremely well as well. You should change to another cultivation art!"
Pak! Pak! Pak!
Intense applause rang out in the entire battle dojo.
"It's a pity that it isn't for me!"
Han Xi was disappointed.
"Teacher Han!"
Sun Mo jumped down and squatted beside Han Xi. "I'll help you fix your bones!"
"No need!"
Han Xi rejected. "I don't need your sympathy!"
(Douzhan, I've already lost. If I accept your sympathy, my last bit of dignity will be taken away!)
"Teacher Han..."
Sun Mo frowned, wanting to persuade her.
Han Xi didn't care about Sun Mo. In fact, she didn't even care about those doctors. She just hugged her broken arm and walked toward the resting area. She wanted to carefully think about this battle and Sun Mo's moves.
(I don't have a place to learn powerful cultivation arts, so I'll secretly learn yours. Also, next time, I won't be defeated by you so easily.)
Han Xi's eyes flashed with an unyielding glow.
"..."
Sun Mo wanted to invite Han Xi to join the Central Province Academy, but her back view was even more unyielding than a man's. This back view was like a porcupine, causing him to not know what to say.
"Oh yeah, Teacher won!"
Ying Baiwu glanced at Tantai Yutang. (I've said it long ago. It's impossible for me to fail.)
"Eldest martial sister, what are you thinking about?"
The papaya girl discovered that Li Ziqi was in deep thought and didn't look happy at all. "Are you worried about Teacher?"
"Nope!"
Li Ziqi looked at Han Xi's back view and suddenly had a question. "I'll go look for Teacher!"
(Yes, look for Teacher. Teacher would definitely be able to resolve my doubts.)
...
"Teacher Sun, congratulations!"
"Teacher Sun, you're awesome!"
"You're going to be the champion. You can do it!"
When Sun Mo returned to the resting area, some extroverted great teachers started to take the initiative to greet him, preparing to get to know him.
One could foresee that after this examination, Sun Mo would become a famous person. In the future, it would be very difficult to get to know him. Hence, everyone wanted to grab hold of this opportunity.
After all, one more friend meant one more path.
"Thank you!"
Sun Mo nodded and returned the greeting.
The competition continued, and it was getting more and more exciting. Those who could stay until now were all outstanding students.
Not long later, Li Ziqi and the others came over.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Mo saw that the little sunny egg had a lot on her mind.
"Teacher, I have a few questions that I can't figure out."
Li Ziqi inclined her head and glanced at him. "I was wrong. Can you guide me after the competition is over?"
Sun Mo smiled and rubbed Li Ziqi's hair.
"Let's go!"
Sun Mo stood up and walked outside. There were too many people here, and Sun Mo didn't wish to be surrounded by people.
"Awoo!"
Lu Zhiruo felt depressed. She jogged to Sun Mo's side and rubbed her face against Sun Mo's sleeve like a little house cat. (Where's my head rub?)
Because Westmountain City was a mountain city, there weren't many windy days. Hence, during summer, it would feel very hot and stuffy.
"Teacher, why didn't that Teacher Han Xi go and learn more powerful cultivation arts?"
Li Ziqi was puzzled.
"She probably wouldn't be able to learn it!"
Sun Mo guessed that this was the only reason.
"Your question is so retarded. She definitely wouldn't be qualified to learn it."
Tantai Yutang sneered. The Central Province Academy was still a little better. They would open up earth-tier cultivation arts to all students, as well as lower-grade heaven-tier and even middle-grade cultivation arts to students with good aptitudes and results. However, it would be very difficult if they wanted to learn anything higher.
Students had to prove their loyalty, value, and talent. They had to obtain the guarantee and recommendation of a great teacher before they could learn it.
For other schools, even if it was an inferior-grade heaven-tier cultivation art, they would protect it tightly and wouldn't easily leak it out.
"I feel that Han Xi's school is a little too heartless?"
Li Ziqi's little brows furrowed.
"It's not that it's heartless. Why would someone else's cultivation art lose to yours? It's just like our school. After the teachers prove their loyalty, they can also learn it! "
Tantai Yutang laughed.
"Baiwu, what do you think?"
Li Ziqi looked at the iron-headed girl. Her birth should be the lowest among her personal students. She would surely have a different view.
"It's someone else's stuff. If you want to give it to them, you can give it to them. If you don't want to give it to them, you can refuse.
After speaking until here, Ying Baiwu looked at Sun Mo. Her gaze was filled with worship and gratitude. "There are very few great teachers like Teacher who are willing to impart peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts to their personal students. No, it should be said that there are almost none, right?"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Ying Baiwu + 500. Respect (6,100/10000).
"Baiwu, don't look down on the character of some great teachers!"
Sun Mo corrected. "In places we don't know about, there would surely be selfless great teachers who are contributing."
"..."
Li Ziqi fell silent.
"Eldest martial sister, what are you trying to say?"
Seeing that Li Ziqi couldn't understand, Lu Zhiruo also felt anxious for her.
