"Sun laoshi, there's no need for a battle!"
Xiao Li laughed.
"You're not going to forfeit too, are you?"
Tong Yiming was flabbergasted. What were all of you doing?
"Teacher Xiao, you don't have to do this."
Sun Mo persuaded, but it was a pity that it was useless.
"Yes, I abstain."
When Xiao Li drew Sun Mo, he had already made his decision without any hesitation. It was because Sun Mo was the man who had helped him regain his glory.
"…"
Tong Yiming felt depressed. Wasn't the battle for the top 12 supposed to be a classic one? In the end, all of them chose to give up when they fought against Sun Mo.
What kind of value was that?!
"Teacher Sun, if I can pass the examination this time around, I'll do my best to catch up to your footsteps. Let's fight again in the 3-star great teacher examination."
After saying that, Xiao Li laughed at himself. "But with your talent, you should strive for the glory of rising three stars in a year, right?"
"Teacher Xiao, your attitude isn't right. What do you mean by qualified? You should be more confident. "
Sun Mo frowned and felt a little resentful.
In fact, he understood Xiao Li's mentality. When a person kept losing, even if there was a chance to win, he would lose confidence and worry about personal gains and losses.
"Yes, Teacher Sun is right!"
Xiao Li bowed slightly and humbly accepted the advice. He still hadn't adjusted his mentality.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Xiao Li + 100. Respect (1,920/10000).
Xiao Li's attitude caused many examinees to be speechless. What was he doing? Xiao Li seemed to be very respectful towards Sun Mo. That shouldn't be the case. Wasn't his arm broken by Sun Mo? In that case, he should hate Sun Mo, right?
"That's old news. You don't know that Jiang Zhitong didn't want Sun Mo to participate in the examination and intentionally made things difficult for him, saying that he would only be able to participate if Xiao Li took the examination. Hence, Sun Mo used the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands to heal his broken arm."
There were always some examinees who didn't pay attention to gossip and focused on their studies. There were also some examinees who liked these rumors and spread them tirelessly.
Xiao Li walked to the side of the arena and jumped down. This scene immediately caused an uproar.
"What's going on? It seems like they're not fighting anymore? "
"I didn't hear it. That middle-aged man forfeited!"
"What are you doing? Are you guys shady? Was this Sun Mo the illegitimate son of the Saint Gate's sect leader? Why did most of his opponents give up? "
Those who had bet on Xiao Li to win the championship were furious, not because they felt that Xiao Li was not worth it, but because they felt that their money had gone down the drain.
He was clearly at the Longevity Realm and was a seeded contestant fighting for the championship. If he was defeated fair and square on the arena, no one would say anything. But what was with him giving up without any injuries at all?
It was like you had bet on the Brazilian soccer team to win the championship, but after they made it to the semifinals, none of the main stars were injured, and they even had plastic surgery. Then, they suddenly announced that they would withdraw from the competition. Who could accept that?
Not to mention the buyers, many of the dealers were going crazy. In just a short while, there were probably a lot of people who wanted to kill Xiao Li.
The curses of the audience were very unpleasant to hear. Xiao Li also cared about it, but it was nothing compared to Sun Mo. In any case, he wouldn't fight against Teacher Sun.
But very soon, the curses and suspicions spread to Sun Mo, saying that there was something shady going on and that he had bribed Xiao Li.
This was something Xiao Li could not accept, so he stopped in his tracks and roared in a loud voice.
"Everyone, I'm sure you've heard the rumors between me and Teacher Sun. That's right, they're all correct!"
Xiao Li admitted calmly.
"I'm trash who is participating in the 2-star great teacher examination for the fifth time. If I fail again this year, I'll lose the chance to rise in stars forever. To speak the truth, when I came here, I didn't have any confidence. But because I made a bet with someone, I had no choice but to participate in the examination...
"That's why I'm jealous of a genius like Teacher Sun who can rise in stars consecutively right after graduating. In addition, I drank too much that day and offended Teacher Sun.
"My arm was broken, and I didn't even have a chance. At one point, I even thought of giving up on being a teacher and planned to go back to the countryside to herd cows. However, Teacher Sun didn't hold it against me and used the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands to help me reconnect my bones. He even resolved my doubts, allowing me to rebuild my confidence and stand on this examination ground.
"Oh right, I'm already a middle-aged man and have been stuck at the ninth level of the divine force realm for many years. It's all thanks to Teacher Sun's generous help that I was able to rise to the Longevity Realm. Tell me, if I were to fight against him, how could I still be considered a great teacher?"
After Xiao Li finished speaking in one breath, he turned and bowed deeply toward Sun Mo, bending his back 90 degrees.
"Without Teacher Sun, there wouldn't be me!
"I'll remember your kindness for life!"
"Thank you, Teacher Sun!"
Xiao Li's words were sincere.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Xiao Li + 300. Reverence (2,220/10000).
The entire place fell silent. It was only now that everyone discovered that Xiao Li had been addressing Sun Mo respectfully as Teacher Sun and not as' surname + teacher 'between peers.
"I knew it, there's definitely a hidden story."
"Speaking of which, isn't Sun Mo's charisma a little too high? He actually made so many opponents give up willingly?"
"Don't forget that these people are all considered competitors. If it were you, would you help them improve? Your breadth of mind is truly very broad! "
Not only the audience, but even the examinees started to feel admiration for Sun Mo.
"Using virtue to win others over, this is the true realm of a great teacher!"
Ma Zhang sighed ruefully. He didn't acknowledge the wrong teacher.
On the judging panel, all the major characters also sighed ruefully. If it was a highly respected great teacher doing such a thing, they wouldn't find it strange. But how old was Sun Mo?
It wasn't easy for him to have such breadth of mind.
Mei Yazhi glanced at Jiang Zhitong. As expected, his countenance was as black as the bottom of a pot that had been rubbed by charcoal.
The more famous Sun Mo was, the more his Jiang Clan would lose face.
"Cough cough, everyone, quiet down!"
Sun Mo spoke up. He didn't use much strength, but his clear voice instantly rang out through the entire battle dojo.
"Teacher Xiao is praising me too much. I only did some insignificant things. The reason why Teacher Xiao could break through his bottleneck is mainly because his aptitude isn't bad. He's a person who loves to think and knows how to think."
Sun Mo didn't dare to bow and indicated for Xiao Li to quickly get up.
"Teacher Sun, don't be humble!"
Someone shouted from the spectator stands. After that, applause rang out. A few breaths later, the sound became deafening.
Sun Mo's handsome looks, tall figure, simple and unadorned attire, as well as his refined and courteous attitude when facing praises...
Of course, the most important thing was still his talent. Without an exception, all of them matched the illusions the audience had about great teachers. They felt that this was the bearing a great teacher should have.
"In the future, I also want to be a great teacher like Teacher Sun!"
A little boy pulled his mother's hand and made a small vow.
However, the examinees were more interested in Sun Mo's great teacher halo.
"This is Lingering Sound, right? It's so nice to listen to! It's said that it can cause the listener to unknowingly immerse themselves in it. "
"I heard that Sun Mo also knows a Teacher for a Day, Father for Life halo!"
"Ah? Doesn't that mean that whoever he wants to make will have to kneel? "
The examinees whispered to each other.
In the opinion of the majority of great teachers from ordinary backgrounds, one could rely on one's family background to enter a top-notch famous school, one could rely on consuming peak-grade alchemical pills and nature fruits to raise one's cultivation base, and one could even have a girlfriend who was on the Devastating Beauty Rankings.
Only great teacher halos couldn't be faked. It was because no matter what price you paid, you wouldn't be able to buy one. It had to depend on one's own comprehension.
Hence, those great teachers who comprehended more halos and the rarer they were, the more they would be envied. It was because this represented true wisdom and power.
In the great teacher world, even if you were a specially hired professor from one of the Nine Greats or had the status of a relative of the emperor, you might not be respected. However, if your star level was higher, you would definitely be respected from the bottom of your heart.
It was because each star level represented a corresponding number of great teacher halos that one had to comprehend.
"Seems like I have to invite Sun Mo for a meal."
Liang Hongda surveyed Sun Mo, suddenly feeling very envious of such a young person.
Looking at Xiao Li, he had to speak in such a loud voice. Then looking at Sun Mo, he could hear the lingering sound of his voice.
"Teacher Sun, leave some face for me!"
Xiao Li teased. (Lingering sound? I also want it. After comprehending it, I won't have to worry about people not being able to hear me clearly anymore.)
Because they forfeited again, the examinees didn't suffer any losses and didn't need to rest. Hence, after obtaining Bai Shuang's agreement, the examiners decided to start the battle between the top two.
Bai Shuang VS Sun Mo officially started.
On the stage, the main examiner waited for the two of them to go up. He couldn't help but look at Bai Shuang and ask, "You won't forfeit, right?"
The main examiner was truly afraid. If this continued, let alone gold, even iron would be gone.
"Why should I forfeit?"
Bai Shuang counter-asked. "I've been waiting for this scene since the start of the examination."
"That's good!"
The main examiner felt at ease.
Bai Shuang looked at Sun Mo. "Teacher Sun, for the sake of Gu Qingyan, I won't show mercy. So, it's still not too late if you give up now. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The main examiner's mood, which had just calmed down, grew tense again as he cast a worried glance at Sun Mo.
Don't give up.
However, after that, he wanted Sun Mo to give up. Honestly speaking, he had quite a good impression of Sun Mo during this period of time. Hence, he didn't hope for Sun Mo to be beaten up by Bai Shuang.
Who was Bai Shuang?
The top graduate of the Skyraise Academy was a great spiritual controller. It was just that she was too busy and didn't have time to take the examination. Otherwise, she would have long since become a 2-star great teacher.
Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Sun Mo giving Gu Qingyan such a psychological blow that he became autistic and ran to the Darkness Continent to exile himself, Bai Shuang would have been so angry that she wanted to find trouble for Sun Mo. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to participate in the examination this year.
"What should we do? This guy is so fierce! "
Lu Zhiruo felt a little worried. She tugged on Li Ziqi's sleeves because she sensed a powerful aura coming from this Bai Shuang.
She must have a very powerful spiritual beast.
"Calm down!"
Li Ziqi patted the papaya girl's hand. "Teacher won't lose!"
Although she said this, the little sunny egg was panicking in her heart. It was because she had inquired about Bai Shuang before. She was so powerful that she seemed inhuman.
"Vice Sect Leader, should we persuade her?"
Mei Yazhi frowned. "Both Sun Mo and Bai Shuang are genius rising stars of our great teacher world. No matter which one of them is injured, it would be a huge loss."
"Teacher Mei, your words aren't right. If one doesn't experience wind and rain, how can one grow?"
Jiang Zhitong interrupted. After that, he looked at Mei Yazhi's beautiful appearance and couldn't help but feel jealous. (Damn, so what if you are handsome? Even such a top-grade woman would speak up for you.)
