Liang Hongda would not host the competition due to his status, so after the lot-drawing ceremony, he let Tong Yiming do it.
Tong Yiming had also climbed up step by step from a small mountain village. He didn't have a complicated background. In addition, he hated evil and was impartial. Therefore, most of the tests and competitions before the Saint Gate reached the 3-star level would be handed over to him as the main examiner.
As for the High Star Assessment's examiner group, it involved a portion of the distribution of benefits. Naturally, it wasn't something a person like Tong Yiming could get involved with.
Tong Yiming couldn't be bothered to get involved in these matters.
"It's my greatest joy to see these new talents appear every year!"
Tong Yiming sighed and announced the start of the match.
Sun Mo didn't bow. Instead, he frowned slightly. "Teacher Mei, is your body alright? With all due respect, you shouldn't have come to participate in the battle! "
"En!"
Mei Ziyu lowered her head and let out a soft 'en' sound. She then added in her heart, "If I didn't meet you and wanted to become a 2-star great teacher together with you, I wouldn't have come to participate in the examination."
To the sickly Mei Ziyu, it was already very tough for her to stay alive. She basically didn't have any excess energy to teach and educate others.
One could say that for so many years, Mei Ziyu's daily life was to treat patients and take care of the flowers and plants. It was only after she met Sun Mo that she suddenly had this small goal.
"Mei shi, I might not be able to defeat you, but if I were to go all out, your body would definitely be unable to take it."
No matter how arrogant Sun Mo was, he wouldn't dare to compare himself to Mei Ziyu. An 18-year-old at the divine force realm, what kind of genius was this?
One must know that because Mei Ziyu was sick, her cultivation time wasn't very long. If not, her cultivation base would be even more terrifying.
"En!"
Mei Ziyu's chin nodded. After seeing Sun Mo fighting against Han Xi, she knew how powerful Sun Mo was when he went all out. She might be able to win against him, but after that, she wouldn't be able to live for more than a few months because that would exhaust her vitality.
"If it's any other competition, I don't mind letting you have it!"
Sun Mo's tone was solemn. "Actually, I don't really care about things like reputation and titles. But for the great teacher examination, I have the support of my personal students. I don't wish to embarrass them. So, I'm sorry."
"What's going on? They know each other? "
"Despicable couple?"
"I heard that Sun Mo already has a fiancee. She's even ranked # 5 on the Devastating Beauty Rankings!"
"What? Was there such a scandal? Tell me about it! "
The audience's desire for gossip was so hot that they could fry an egg.
Sun Mo pulled out his wooden blade. "Sun Mo, third level of the divine force realm. Please guide me!"
"Teacher Sun is a good person!"
Mei Ziyu praised. After that, she pulled out her weapon. It was also a wooden blade.
"You're still saying that they're not a couple?"
Those who were attentive discovered that Mei Ziyu's wooden blade was exactly the same as Sun Mo's.
"Sun Mo, you mustn't do anything that will let down Sister Xinhui."
Gu Xiuxun mumbled to herself and started to seriously survey Mei Ziyu. Mei Ziyu's demeanor was very good, and it was clear that she came from an aristocratic clan. Also, she was gentle and weak, causing others to want to dote on her.
When Gu Xiuxun's gaze slid down to Mei Ziyu's neck, she suddenly puffed out her chest.
Even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be much different!
(Very good. I, Gu Xiuxun, have been on the path of cultivation for so many years and have been defeated time after time. This time around, I've finally found an opponent who is on par with me.)
(On the account that we're both poached eggs, even if you like Sun Mo, I can guarantee that I won't expose you three times, no, two times.)
"Mei Ziyu, seventh level of the divine force realm. Please guide me!"
Mei Ziyu bowed.
Si ~
Upon hearing Mei Ziyu's cultivation base, all the spectating examinees drew in a cold gasp, almost emptying the entire battle dojo.
Seventh level of the divine force realm?
That must be fake, right?
How old was this girl? She looked like she had just reached adulthood, but she was already so powerful?
"Ziyu's aptitude... Sigh, it's a pity!"
Liang Hongda sighed ruefully. For geniuses like Mei Ziyu, their cultivation bases were just for show. During a life-and-death battle, the strength they could unleash would definitely far surpass their current cultivation bases.
Mei Yazhi's eyes turned a little red, feeling that she had let down Ziyu. If she had a good body, she could go and do things she liked instead of staying at home to recuperate.
Just like now, this might be the last time she would see Ziyu standing on the great teacher examination stage.
"Teacher Mei, please!"
Sun Mo indicated for Mei Ziyu to attack first.
After she reported her cultivation base, Sun Mo's eyes didn't even blink. His calm demeanor made Mei Ziyu feel that she didn't judge wrongly.
"I won't stand on ceremony then!"
Mei Ziyu waved her wooden blade and with a swoosh, she vanished from her original location.
"So fast!"
Sun Mo was shocked. The Grand Universe Formless Divine Art actually lost track of the enemy for the first time. Luckily, his perception wasn't weak either.
Sun Mo turned slightly to the right and straightened his blade.
However, at the next instant, he frowned because Mei Ziyu didn't attack. She simply brushed past him.
Hua ~
A commotion broke out.
Sun Mo turned his head and saw Mei Ziyu standing below the stage.
"What do you mean?"
Sun Mo's frown was so tight that it could squeeze a crab to death.
"Aiya, I charged too fast and made a mistake!"
Mei Ziyu smiled mischievously. "However, Teacher Sun's vertical blade was truly accurate to the extreme!"
The second half of her sentence wasn't a compliment but a sincere praise.
When an expert made a move, one would be able to tell if one was skilled or not. Sun Mo's simple vertical blade could not only block Mei Ziyu's first attack, but it also sealed all the angles of her second attack.
"Teacher Mei, this..."
Sun Mo bitterly smiled. He could already tell that Mei Ziyu basically didn't want to fight against him.
"With my current body, I'll definitely be bedridden after fighting against you. It's better for me to conserve my energy for the personal disciples battle!"
Mei Ziyu explained, "Teacher Sun, there's no need to mind it. Even if we fight for real, there's a high chance that I'll be exhausted to death by you."
The first battle of the top 12 ended unexpectedly.
Those who bet on Sun Mo being the champion were happy, while the others were cursing. No one would believe them if they said that they weren't a pair of lovers.
However, Sun Mo's charm was truly shocking. He could subdue the enemy without fighting!
Some men with dirty thoughts even felt that tonight, Sun Mo and Mei Ziyu would definitely have a great battle where both of them would be involved.
For the other battles, Liu Mubai passed steadily while Shan Shi still broke both his arms with a single sword strike, displaying the attitude of the strongest dark horse.
...
On the second day, the battle of the top six arrived.
Sun Mo drew Fang Wuji.
"It's over, Sun Mo will definitely pass again!"
"It's all thanks to Sun Mo that Fang Wuji could become so handsome. So what if he gave the victory to Sun Mo? If I had such a chance to improve my looks, let alone winning or losing a battle, I'd be willing to be his slave for the rest of my life! "
"Scram, does our Teacher Sun need others to give in to him? You are looking down on him! "
The spectators discussed, leaning towards the fact that this battle wouldn't happen.
As expected, when Tong Yiming announced Sun Mo and Fang Wuji to go up, the latter directly expressed that he wanted to give up.
"Teacher Fang, there's no need to do this!"
Sun Mo felt helpless. (What are all of you doing?)
"If it wasn't for Teacher Sun, I'd be dead. Hence, I'll definitely not fight against Teacher Sun!"
Fang Wuji's character was very tough. Not only did he feel that he owed Sun Mo, but he also felt that this was a favor that he had to repay with his entire life.
Without waiting for Sun Mo to speak, Fang Wuji jumped down the stage without any hesitation.
"Why must you guys do this?"
Sun Mo felt helpless. He advanced to the top four without even unleashing a single strike.
The other battles were more explosive. This was especially so for Liu Mubai against a top graduate from the Myriad Spirits Academy. It was simply the most brutal, bloody, and explosive battle since the start of the battle.
In the end, Liu Mubai was defeated by a single move and lost the chance to fight for the championship.
After the battle of the top six, three victors were decided. At this moment, the losers' group was also done, and two victors were decided. After they drew lots, they would enter the upper and lower halves respectively and proceed to the battle of the top four.
Xie Cang wasn't very interested in glory. After entering the top ten, he decisively gave up. As for Wang Qing, he forcefully obtained the second place.
In the battle of the top four, the four people in the upper halves were Sun Mo, Xiao Li, Bai Shuang, and Wang Qing.
"If you draw me, don't give up."
Sun Mo persuaded Wang Qing. He truly couldn't stand this. Couldn't they have a good fight?
"Don't worry, my luck has always been bad. If not, why do you think I sprained my ankle when I was walking down a flight of stairs?"
Wang Qing chortled. "Don't ask, the one you are asking is Xiao Li!"
"Aren't you being careless? What the hell does this have to do with luck? "
Sun Mo rolled his eyes.
Ten minutes later, reality proved that Wang Qing's luck wasn't bad, and Sun Mo was as expected of an unlucky man. He drew Xiao Li, who was at the Longevity Realm.
Upon seeing the results of the draw, Bai Shuang frowned deeply. After a moment of hesitation, she walked over and said, "Teacher Xiao, please change opponents with me!"
"Why?"
Xiao Li was curious.
"Because I want to educate Sun Mo!"
Bai Shuang was too lazy to pretend about these things.
In her opinion, Sun Mo would definitely not be able to win against Xiao Li, who was at the Longevity Realm. If that was the case, how was she going to teach him a lesson? Helping his junior, Gu Qingyan, to vent his anger?
"Aren't you afraid of being educated?"
Xiao Li smiled and surveyed Bai Shuang. "I know you are the top student of the Skyraise Academy, but don't look down on others too much!"
"Are you exchanging or not?"
Bai Shuang asked. She didn't care about Xiao Li's sarcasm. If Xiao Li wasn't convinced, then they could just fight in the quarterfinals.
"Is there something wrong with your EQ?"
Xiao Li was speechless. (My reply is clearly to help Sun Mo.) "Not exchanging!"
Bai Shuang turned around and left.
"Lunatic!"
Xiao Li mumbled.
The first battle was between Bai Shuang and Wang Qing. It was unknown if it was because Bai Shuang had vented her frustration from Xiao Li on Wang Qing, but Bai Shuang attacked ferociously the moment she went up.
Wang Qing didn't even manage to create a splash before he fainted and fell off the stage in a mangled state.
His intuition was right. Getting Bai Shuang was still the worst draw.
Or rather, when he entered the first half, he was already destined to get the worst draw.
On the stage, Sun Mo and Xiao Li stood opposite each other.
"That Bai Shuang is so impressive!"
Xiao Li felt a toothache. If he were to fight against her, he might not be able to win.
"That's for sure!"
Sun Mo nodded. Bai Shuang was a spirit controller, but from the start until now, she hadn't even summoned her spiritual beast. One must know that over 80% of a spirit controller's combat strength lay in their spiritual beasts.
"But don't bother about her. Let's have a good fight first!"
Sun Mo cracked his knuckles, releasing cracking sounds. Fighting against someone at the Longevity Realm was a rare experience.
