Fang Wuji, who had become relatively handsome and was definitely a dragon among men, knew how noble Sun Mo's character was. Hence, when he heard Sun Mo's persuasion, he wasn't surprised at all.
"Teacher Sun is truly a role model for our generation!"
Fang Wuji sighed ruefully. After that, he smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "It's a pity that my words don't count."
“？”
The great teachers were all baffled.
"Duan Qiao, you've heard Teacher Sun's words. It's up to you whether you want to fight or not!"
Fang Wuji looked at his personal student. "However, I still have to say something. Do things according to your own preferences. There's no need to learn everything from me!"
Duan Qiao smiled and bowed to Sun Mo. "Thank you for Teacher Sun's kind intentions, but I won't fight against her!"
As the saying went, like teacher, like disciple. Duan Qiao and Fang Wuji's personalities were carved from the same mold. Because of gratitude, they wouldn't fight.
"There's no need for you to do this!"
Sun Mo sighed.
"Although the teachers said this, the kindness my teacher received is also the kindness I received. No matter how I repay it, it won't be too much."
Duan Qiao persisted.
Upon hearing this, many great teachers applauded and looked at Fang Wuji with envy. They also wanted such a good student who respected his teacher.
"Student Ying, there's no need to feel depressed and feel that you won unfairly. I've been watching your previous matches. Even if I went all out, I wouldn't dare to guarantee that I would be able to win against you!"
Duan Qiao persuaded.
Logically speaking, young people were all competitive and had a spirit that wouldn't admit defeat. However, Duan Qiao was like Fang Wuji, exuding a sense of wisdom and gentleness amidst his politeness.
Admitting that he was inferior to his opponent in public, especially when it was a female opponent. This would definitely require a heart that could endure the gazes of others.
"Wait..."
Ying Baiwu still wanted to persuade him, but Duan Qiao had already jumped off the stage. This meant that the iron-headed girl had won and advanced to the next round.
"Such a good person must be headhunted to the Central Province Academy!"
Sun Mo pondered and prepared to make a move. Fang Wuji was a good employee who was capable and didn't like to cause trouble. He also didn't have any desire for a high salary.
"He has the bearing of a great teacher!"
Looking at Fang Wuji's handsome face, she had a good impression of him at first. In fact, she wouldn't even reject his invitation to have dinner with her. However, when she thought that this was an artificial face, she suddenly lost interest.
(No, I prefer Sun Mo's natural handsomeness.)
The competition continued. Liu Mubai's personal student, Han Zisheng, was defeated by Zhou Yao.
It wasn't that Han Zisheng wasn't strong enough, but that Zhou Yao, who came from a small place, was simply too strong.
"Teacher, I'm sorry!"
Han Zisheng lowered his head, feeling dispirited. He still wanted to charge out of the 'C' group and fight against Xuanyuan Po, wanting to teach him a lesson and regain some face for his teacher. In the end, he didn't expect that he would be eliminated at the third place.
"Don't think too much. You've already done very well!"
Liu Mubai was actually looking forward to Han Zisheng's performance, but unfortunately, there were too many strong enemies. However, he suppressed his unhappiness: "Come, let's review the battle just now."
The competition was still as intense as ever. Soon, it was Group D's turn.
"Xuanyuan Po, Hua Jianmu, ascend the stage!"
Following Tong Yiming's announcement, the audience burst into loud applause again. The tall and burly Combat Addict, who looked like a killing machine, had become the hottest topic in this tournament.
Many gamblers placed heavy bets on him.
"Whether or not I can get a mansion next year depends on you. Do your best!"
"If I win the Spring Fragrance Pavilion, I'll live a carefree life. If I lose, I'll enter the mountains to mine coal.
"Xuanyuan Po, crush him!"
The cheers of the gamblers grew louder and louder.
Hua Jianmu didn't expect that he would be matched against Sun Mo's personal student so soon. After being stunned for a moment, he grew excited. He clenched his fists tightly and slammed them together.
"Teacher, I'm going!"
(I didn't expect that the chance for me to rise to fame in a single battle would come so early.)
"Be careful!"
Han Xi reminded.
"Teacher, don't worry. I'll definitely be able to defeat Xuanyuan Po!"
Hua Jianmu looked at Han Xi's haggard face and guaranteed in a sonorous tone. (I'll trample on Xuanyuan Po, Ying Baiwu, Jiang Leng, and the others to ascend to the throne of the champion.)
After speaking, Hua Jianmu darted out. When he neared the stage, he did a beautiful leap and did a somersault before jumping up.
His posture was extremely carefree and won a round of applause.
Han Xi furrowed her brows. She originally wanted to remind Hua Jianmu to give up if he couldn't hold on any longer to avoid injuries that might affect his future. However, she was worried that she would deal a blow to Hua Jianmu's confidence.
"However, Jianmu's recent condition isn't bad. It seems like he belongs to the type of child who can stimulate his potential the more pressure he faces!"
Han Xi looked at the vigorous movements of her personal disciple and couldn't help but reveal a smile. Maybe, he could really win. Even if he couldn't win, if he continued to develop like this, he would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.
Upon thinking of this, Han Xi shouted out.
"Jianmu, you can do it!"
Han Xi had lived a very bitter life for close to 30 years. The only gain she had wasn't her current capabilities or her identity as a great teacher. It was because she managed to groom a student like Hua Jianmu.
Speaking of her judgment in discovering students, Han Xi wasn't bad. She had also discovered six good students before. Sadly, she came from a poor background and didn't even have a peak-grade cultivation art. The cultivation art she practiced was something that could be found on the street, let alone giving her students good cultivation arts. Hence, after her students displayed pretty good talent, they were headhunted by a few major characters in the school.
Hua Jianmu was the only one who stayed behind.
According to age, Han Xi could be said to be a woman of advanced age. She wasn't married yet and would definitely be the type of person who would be gossiped about if she was placed in the surrounding villages.
However, Han Xi no longer cared. She didn't want the child she gave birth to to suffer like her. Hence, out of a compensatory mentality, she treated Hua Jianmu as her own son and taught him.
Why did Hua Jianmu desire to win back glory for Han Xi?
Hua Jianmu, who also came from a poor background and didn't have his parents to care for him, obtained the love and concern of his family from Han Xi. This was why he was dead set on following Han Xi.
"Xuanyuan, be careful!"
Li Ziqi reminded him. She could see that Hua Jianmu's morale was very high and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"It's just a fight, what's there to be careful about? Even if he dies, life and death are all up to fate! "
As Xuanyuan Po spoke, he carried his silver spear on his left shoulder and walked toward the arena. He had seen this opponent before. This opponent was a weak chicken, hence, he wasn't very excited.
Upon seeing the combat addict's appearance, Ying Baiwu felt unhappy. She roared loudly, "Xuanyuan Po, bring out 100% of your fighting spirit. You are fighting for Teacher!"
Not only must he win, but he must win beautifully.
Ding!
Ying Baiwu's favorable impression points + 100. Respect (9,600/10000).
"Baiwu!"
"There's no need to think this way!"
"Mn!"
The iron-headed girl replied, but it was clear that she didn't change her mind.
When Gu Xiuxun saw this scene, she felt extremely envious. After all, who didn't desire to be worshipped by their students?
"Is Sun Mo so good?"
Li Ruolan was curious.
This beautiful reporter had seen many examples of personal students having a good relationship with their teachers. However, it was still very rare for someone to worship Sun Mo as much as Ying Baiwu.
Sun Mo was like Ying Baiwu's mental totem. She had to look up to him, worship him, and even protect him!
"Could it be that Sun Mo used some dark secret art to brainwash her?"
Li Ruolan guessed.
She had this thought mainly because Sun Mo was too young. (Let alone a secondary saint, I can understand if you are a highly respected 7-star great teacher. But you have only been a teacher for slightly over a year.)
"Reporter Li, please don't make wild guesses about Teacher!"
Li Ziqi was very meticulous. When she saw Li Ruolan assessing Sun Mo with a suspicious gaze, she gave a warning. "After all, you won't understand our love for Teacher!"
The little sunny egg had no choice but to be cautious. Li Ruolan was extremely famous and was also a gold-medal main writer. Her articles had many fans.
If she were to write nonsense, Sun Mo's reputation might be tarnished.
Sigh!
(Teacher is the same as well. It's not like you will lose a piece of flesh if you treat her more amicably.) One must know that women were creatures that would hate due to love.
(If you continue to ignore her, she might write articles to smear your name.)
However, at the thought of how her teacher was so disdainful toward the # 11 beauty on the Devastating Beauty Rankings, Li Ziqi suddenly felt honored.
(My teacher is truly different from those simps.)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi + 100. Reverence (41460/100000).
After hearing the two notifications, Sun Mo had a dumbfounded look on his face. (What did I do? Why would you guys contribute favorable impression points for no reason?)
(You guys are giving me a lot of pressure, alright?)
"Teacher, eat a melon!"
Lu Zhiruo passed the melon over with both hands. It was the biggest and sweetest piece. There was a lot of water and the texture was very smooth!
After both parties exchanged greetings, Hua Jianmu rushed toward Xuanyuan Po impatiently.
(Not only do I want to win, but I want to win cleanly!)
February Dawn Wind, Willow Willow Waning Moon!
Hua Jianmu immediately used his ultimate skill.
As the swift blade slashed out, 12 streams of blade qi instantly formed and surrounded Xuanyuan Po.
"Beautiful!"
Xuanyuan Po's eyes brightened. Interesting, it seemed like Sun Mo wasn't a small fry. Hence, his silver spear trembled and several spear flowers appeared, scattering the willow leaf-shaped blade qi.
Willow Swaying in the Wind!
Hua Jianmu wasn't moved and continued to attack. All the moves he used were ultimate skills.
"Jianmu, fight steadily and surely!"
Han Xi frowned and called out.
Just like the law of conservation of energy, any cultivation art would follow this law. For a move, the more spirit qi one used, the more powerful it would be.
And if one used more spirit qi, they would need a longer time to prepare the move. Hence, ultimate skills weren't something that could be used just because one wanted to. One had to look for opportunities.
The so-called ultimate skills were like the King of Bombs. They had to be used to decide the outcome with a single strike.
For Hua Jianmu's ultimate skills, other than wasting spirit qi and exhausting his stamina, there wasn't much use. After all, Xuanyuan Po wasn't a small fry and wouldn't be frightened by such an attack.
"Teacher, I know. I just want to take him down a notch!"
Hua Jianmu replied. As expected, he immediately calmed down.
"Don't stop, continue attacking!"
Xuanyuan Po was disappointed. What he loved the most was clashing with ultimate moves. It was satisfying!
"This fellow is very confident and his body is also very strong. Xuanyuan Po is in trouble now."
Jiang Leng frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, he would at most be injured. In any case, he would win for sure."
The papaya girl was even more confident in Xuanyuan Po's combat strength compared to herself.
However, the sickly invalid stared at Hua Jianmu's eyes and then surveyed his skin. There seemed to be something wrong with this fellow's condition.
The battle started and entered the most explosive phase.
