In the battle dojo, after the spectators recovered from their shock, they started to discuss and curse. Hence, the noise grew louder and louder. Very soon, it became a large-scale duck farm.
"This is the championship battle? Isn't that Shan Shi defeated a little too quickly? "
Shan Shi was the strongest dark horse. He had been fighting his way here and had broken both of his arms with a single sword strike. But now, he was beaten up by Sun Mo into the state of a dead dog.
Thinking back to how he had been clamoring about wanting to defeat Sun Mo within 30 moves, he was like a clown who didn't know his own limits.
"Trash!"
"Trash!"
"Why don't you go and die?"
Those gamblers who had bet on Shan Shi to win all erupted and scolded him, using the most vicious words they could think of.
They threw out their betting slips, and it was as if heavy snow had fallen.
"Shan Shi, are you going to admit defeat?"
Tong Yiming asked.
"Admit defeat? I can still fight! "
Shan Shi bellowed and glared at Tong Yiming. He really wanted to use his dark secret art to smash Sun Mo's head. However, the last bit of rationality in his mind told him that he mustn't do this.
It was because once he performed his dark secret art, his identity would be exposed. Hence, before he could kill Sun Mo, he would be taken down by the Saint Gate's law enforcement group.
"Are you not convinced?"
Sun Mo chuckled and activated Divine Sight.
Shan Shi, 23 years old. Fifth level of the divine force realm.
Strength: 38, super-first-rate standard.
Intellect: 37, not bad, but I don't need to use my brain. It's because my opponent is too trash and I can crush him directly.
Agility: 38, super-first-rate standard.
Endurance: 33, never experienced a battle of attrition before because my enemies died too quickly.
Will: 35, I even dare to kill myself when I'm ruthless!
...
Potential value: Extremely high!
Note: His physical attributes are off the charts. It's a pity that he relies too much on his weapon and has gone astray.
"Shut up!"
Shan Shi bellowed furiously.
"Hehe, are you exasperated?"
Sun Mo smiled and looked at that longsword. "Your physical attributes are very outstanding. Even if you don't use this longsword, you're still at the standard of the top five in this great teacher examination. It's a pity that you neglected the essentials."
"Is it any of your business?"
Shan Shi sneered. He wasn't a fool and naturally understood the reason for his defeat. Clearly, the profoundness of this secret sword had been discovered by Sun Mo.
As for Sun Mo saying that his aptitude wasn't bad...
Come on, even if it wasn't bad, he would still have to train diligently in order to maintain an extremely high combat prowess. Unlike now, he didn't have to work hard at all, he could just wield a Secret Sword and slaughter his enemies.
When Shan Shi first saw this secret sword, he had hesitated as well.
But Sir Star Lord said that people work hard because there are no shortcuts, they can only work hard. But now that you have a shortcut, why do you still foolishly cultivate? Is it interesting to sweat and bleed until you become a dead dog?
Who said that taking shortcuts was bad?
Those people only said that because there was no shortcut. Once they encountered it, they would definitely run faster than you. They even wanted to destroy this shortcut so that others wouldn't be able to take it.
Sun Mo chuckled and couldn't be bothered to say anything more.
He had been a teacher for so many years and had seen many students. Shan Shi's gaze was clearly that of an iron-headed young man who wouldn't listen to advice.
"Whatever!"
Sun Mo shrugged. "However, I'm very curious. Who forged this longsword?"
The longsword was forged through a special dark secret art. It contained the origin characteristic of the Thousand Blood Vines. After it was activated, it would produce a force field that would draw in the blood of living creatures.
Note: This longsword is the work of a great grandmaster in smithing.
Sun Mo had always thought that weapons were inanimate objects. But when he saw this longsword, he was astonished.
Usually speaking, weapons were forged using metal. Regardless of whether it was fresh blood, bone powder of animals and plants, or other things, they would essentially exist as a type of catalyst. The main body would definitely be metal.
But for this longsword, the metal was the catalyst, and the plant was the main body of the longsword.
It could be said that this longsword was a plant, and it was a living one.
How difficult was it to forge this sword?
Not only did one have to have an ancestor-level of proficiency in forging, but one also had to have profound knowledge in botany.
"You want to know? I won't tell you! "
Shan Shi looked at Sun Mo and grinned. (How is it? Are you angry?)
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo smiled and lifted his leg, kicking out.
Bang!
Shan Shi's nose suffered a vicious blow. Not only was his head kicked back, but he also spun a few rounds.
Hua!
Fresh blood splattered, drenching the floor.
Sssss!
Seeing Sun Mo beating up Shan Shi, who had both arms crippled, the spectators instantly fell silent.
(This can be done?)
(Where's the bearing of a famous scholar?)
Tong Yiming blinked and looked at Sun Mo in astonishment. (Isn't your desire for revenge a little too strong?) (But I like it.)
Speaking of which, Shan Shi was even more ruthless. From the start of the Great Teachers Battle until now, he had chopped off the arms of close to ten examinees. He was so merciless, and now, he could be considered to have reaped what he sowed.
"Main examiner, he didn't admit defeat and is still in the competition. Such an attack of mine doesn't break the rules, right?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"It doesn't break the rules!"
Tong Yiming replied with a solemn expression.
"That's good!"
As Sun Mo spoke, he took a few more steps forward.
Shan Shi wasn't made of metal and was afraid of pain. Although he didn't beg for mercy or admit defeat, his legs kicked against the ground and he moved back a few times.
This scene instantly caused him to lose all of his bearing as a great teacher.
"Teacher!"
Gui Jiarong was speechless and covered his eyes.
In the spectator stands, many young men liked Shan Shi's character and had the thought of acknowledging him as their teacher. However, after seeing how 'cowardly' Shan Shi was, they immediately dispelled this thought.
Sun Mo stopped.
Shan Shi was stunned for a moment. After that, his face flushed up. It was because he knew that Sun Mo was toying with him.
"Damn it, I must definitely take revenge for this!"
Shan Shi swore. He also knew that if this were to continue, it would be embarrassing and meaningless. Therefore, he looked toward Tong Yiming. "I give up."
"I know that it's very hard to say the word 'give up', especially for the first time. But in the future, you'll get used to it if you give up more often."
Sun Mo consoled.
Pffft, haha!
Hearing Sun Mo's words, many examinees burst out laughing. This Sun Mo was so venomous.
"Shan Shi has given up. Therefore, Sun Mo is the victor of the Great Teachers Battle this time around, becoming the champion!"
Tong Yiming announced loudly.
After a few seconds of silence, thunderous cheers and applause erupted from the spectator stands.
Even the gamblers who had lost money because they didn't bet on Sun Mo were all applauding. It was because regardless of Sun Mo's strength or character, there were no blemishes on him.
Looking at Sun Mo's advancement process, a few great teachers directly gave up.
This was something that was even harder to accomplish compared to defeating one's opponent with martial prowess.
"Teacher Sun, congratulations!"
As Liang Hongda congratulated Sun Mo, the various major characters on the judging panel also left their seats, preparing to come over to chat and get to know Sun Mo.
"Teacher Sun, I believe everyone is very curious. What profoundness does Shan Shi's longsword have exactly?"
Tong Yiming asked. After that, he smiled and said, "I won't extend the sound amplification stone for you. It's too tiring. Quickly give me a Lingering Sound. After all, this is a topic that everyone is interested in."
Swoosh!
The spectator stands fell silent once again. Over 30,000 pairs of eyes stared at Sun Mo in unison.
Swoosh!
As the halo flashed, Sun Mo's voice rang out clearly through the entire battle dojo.
"The answer lies in that longsword."
Sun Mo explained, "In the Darkness Continent, there are all sorts of strange plants that possess special abilities that people can't imagine. For example, the Thousand Blood Vines!
"They are a type of carnivorous plant. When ferocious beasts enter within a certain range of them, their abilities will be activated. The blood in the prey's body will be attracted and spurt out, causing the prey to die."
The spectators were stunned when they heard this. There were such terrifying plants?
"And this long sword is made with the Thousand Blood Vines as the main material."
Sun Mo assessed Shan Shi and discovered that his expression didn't change much. He knew that Shan Shi didn't understand botany at all and was purely a user.
"Therefore, this longsword has an ability. It's able to draw the opponent's blood. Why did everyone's arms get chopped off? It's not that Shan Shi is powerful. Rather, after activating the longsword's ability, he made use of the power from the blood gushing out from his body and chopped off his arms. "
Sun Mo shrugged. "After all, no matter how strong a cultivator is, it's impossible for them to withstand an attack that comes from the body!"
Sssss!
After hearing Sun Mo's explanation, the spectators didn't react, but the countenances of the cultivators present changed drastically. Didn't this mean that as long as Shan Shi wanted to, he could kill anyone?
"Teacher Sun, then how did you defend against it?"
Someone asked impatiently.
"As for me, I used some plants to make soup and drank it," Wang Yao said.
Sun Mo explained.
"Plants?"
Everyone didn't understand.
"Nature is a world where there are mutual reinforcements and restrains. Even the strongest ferocious beasts would have natural enemies. The Thousand Blood Vines are no exception. They naturally have natural enemies as well."
At the judging panel, a major character who majored in botany spoke up.
"What do you mean?"
Someone didn't understand.
"This means that Sun Mo used the Thousand Blood Vines' natural enemy to restrain Shan Shi's longsword."
Xie Cang explained, feeling even more admiration for Sun Mo. At the very least, Sun Mo had no way to deal with Shan Shi.
"Then why were you injured by me the second time?"
Shan Shi doubted. He kept feeling that Sun Mo still had other means.
"You wish to know?"
Sun Mo chuckled. "I'm not telling you!"
Shan Shi immediately grew anxious.
"Teacher Sun, do you want to learn botany from me?"
That major character in botany spoke up again. His gaze when looking at Sun Mo was filled with admiration and covetousness. How good would it be if he had discovered Sun Mo earlier?
The major character knew why Sun Mo spurted out blood. It was because he had drunk the green dandelion seaweed before. This was the Thousand Blood Vines' natural enemy. Therefore, Sun Mo's blood contained this element. When it spurted onto the longsword, it would damage it.
Right now, it was the Great Teachers Battle, and Sun Mo couldn't openly seize or destroy Shan Shi's longsword. However, he didn't want Shan Shi to continue using this longsword to harm others. Therefore, he used this method.
If it wasn't for the sake of others, Sun Mo could have crushed Shan Shi without suffering any injuries.
Such great love proved that Sun Mo was an extremely compassionate man. It was worthy of admiration.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from He Changfeng + 50. Friendly (210/1,000).
The few major characters couldn't help but cast sidelong glances. This He Changfeng was a 6-star great teacher with deep attainments in botany. Moreover, he had an eccentric personality and liked to take care of plants. He wasn't interested in teaching and educating people. But now, he actually took the initiative to recruit Sun Mo?
How talented must Sun Mo be for He Changfeng to take a fancy to him?
