On the spectator stand, Yao Guang watched the conflict below with interest.
"That Han Xi must be filled with hatred and resentment, feeling that the entire world is her enemy, right?"
Yao Guang's lips twitched. She could understand Han Xi's grievance.
All her students had been headhunted away. The only one who stayed behind, the one whom she could only depend on for survival, had died here.
Of course, so be it if he died. She could only blame herself for being inferior. But now, she said that he drank medicine? From Han Xi's point of view, this was the greatest insult to Hua Jianmu.
As his teacher, she had to seek justice for him. Hence, even though she knew she wasn't a match for Sun Mo, she still wanted to fight.
"What a good teacher who loves his students!"
Yao Guang sighed ruefully. One must know that this was a life-and-death battle. Given Sun Mo's strength, he could crush her 100 times.
"Che, it's a pity that your student is trash!"
Yao Guang felt regret. She looked at Hua Jianmu's corpse with a look of disdain. "Even after drinking the battle god potion, you still can't win against Xuanyuan Po. You're really useless even when given a chance!"
"Did you do it?"
A voice suddenly rang out.
"Lord Starlord!"
Yao Guang smiled. "I did it. Not only can I test the effect of the battle god potion, but I can also see the standard of Sun Mo's student. In the end, I can even headhunt a great teacher with extraordinary potential. It's really killing three birds with one stone!"
"If you want to headhunt people, there are many ways. Don't use such a heart-wrenching method!"
The Daybreak Starlord looked at Han Xi with a calm expression. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
"Yo, the Daybreak Star Lord who was once cruel and merciless actually started to sympathize with others?"
Yao Guang pretended to be surprised.
"Hehe!"
The Daybreak Starlord shook his head and left the battle dojo.
"Eh? Isn't Lord going to watch her battle with Sun Mo? She might erupt with shocking potential. Sigh, if I knew this would happen, I would have given her a bottle of battle god potion as well! "
Yao Guang felt regretful.
Hua Jianmu was too naive. He could pick up that bottle of 'dawn potion' because of Yao Guang's scheme. However, a 15-year-old youth wouldn't be able to imagine how dangerous the world was.
"They won't fight!"
The Daybreak Starlord glanced at Sun Mo. Although he didn't know him, this youth definitely wouldn't act.
...
"Teacher Sun, calm down!"
Mei Yazhi persuaded and personally squatted down beside Hua Jianmu to check his body. Although she wasn't a doctor, as an alchemy grandmaster, she had some understanding of the human body's condition.
"En!"
Sun Mo nodded. He cast a glance at Han Xi and didn't say anything else. He turned and left. As for the battle, he definitely wouldn't accept it.
Seeing this, the onlookers were in an uproar.
The great teachers were once again impressed by Sun Mo's bearing. One must know that if Sun Mo didn't retaliate, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was speaking nonsense.
This was under the noses of more than 30,000 people. Just a few people who were jealous of him or those who were not in their right mind could casually spread some rumors, and it could cause damage to his reputation.
However, Sun Mo didn't mind.
What kind of character was this?
For a time, Sun Mo gained over 10,000 favorable impression points.
Upon hearing the system's notification, Sun Mo was astonished. He didn't expect that there would be such an additional reward. He just didn't want to cause trouble for Han Xi.
Mei Yazhi threw a glance at Sun Mo, and her impression of him became even better.
"Teacher, what exactly is going on?"
Li Ziqi frowned.
"He drank a type of medicinal potion that stimulated his life potential!"
Sun Mo lowered his voice. "Let's put it this way. The potential of an ordinary person is slowly stimulated during the process of growth. As for this Hua Jianmu, his potential was stimulated within a short period of time, and his body wasn't able to withstand this potential. Hence, he died."
"Everyone is a piece of firewood, and their life is burning. It's just that this Hua Jianmu was burned to ashes in an instant."
Ma Zhang explained and then apologized to Sun Mo. "Teacher, I'm sorry. I've caused you to suffer humiliation."
"Don't take it to heart!"
Sun Mo waved his hand.
He wasn't just a man, but he was also a great teacher. He still had this bit of magnanimity.
"Teacher is so magnanimous!"
The three fangirls worshipped him.
A few minutes later, Mei Yazhi finished her inspection and consoled Han Xi. "Let's collect his corpse first. It's a kind of blasphemy to leave him hanging like this and be watched by others!"
When Han Xi heard this, the tears that she had just stopped flowed out again, lacerating her cheeks.
Someone wanted to help.
"No need!"
Han Xi rejected. She personally carried Hua Jianmu's corpse and left the battle dojo with unsteady steps.
"Follow her. If she needs help, give her a hand!"
Mei Yazhi instructed her personal student.
She could tell that there was a problem with Hua Jianmu's body. However, it wasn't suitable for her to delve into this in such a situation. It was better to wait for Han Xi to calm down first before telling her in detail!
...
Outside the dojo, the sun was shining brightly, but Han Xi's entire body was ice-cold. It was as if she had entered a cold winter night!
Looking at the lively and youthful young men and women walking around the campus, Han Xi subconsciously hugged her pale-faced disciple tightly.
Hua Jianmu's corpse gradually turned cold. It was like this world was losing its temperature, causing Han Xi's heart to gradually freeze.
"Do you feel that this world is filled with malice toward the two of you?"
A middle-aged man appeared next to Han Xi. He had a bamboo tube in one hand and was slowly chewing on the wheat straw, drinking the soybean milk inside.
Han Xi didn't pay him any heed.
"Other people are enjoying fresh flowers and applause, but the two of you are like stray dogs. You only wanted to gain some fame and get a good job, but in the end, you even lost your lives."
The middle-aged man sighed.
Swoosh!
A swift blade slashed out, but it was unknown what happened, but it was deflected. It was so fast that Han Xi didn't even see it clearly.
If it was some other time, Han Xi would definitely retreat and maintain caution. But today, she didn't care anymore. She glared at the middle-aged man in anger, like an injured fighting dog.
Pak!
A bamboo scroll landed on Hua Jianmu's corpse.
Han Xi's gaze involuntarily turned over because there were traces of fire and smoke on the scroll. Moreover, the mottled color indicated that it had been here for many years.
Not only that, but the most shocking thing was that the diagrams on the bamboo scroll were actually flowing slowly.
Even a fool could tell that this was a secret treasure.
"This is the Four Symbols Sword Mantra. Just treat it as a meeting gift from me."
The middle-aged man smiled.
Han Xi didn't take it.
The middle-aged man's lips twitched. "It's true that I can't take out an intermediate-grade saint-tier cultivation art. However, I only have this cultivation art with me.
"Oh right, although you have been practicing blade arts for about 12 years, let me give you a piece of advice. You should switch to practicing the sword. You have no future in blade arts."
The middle-aged man sighed. He knew that Han Xi was practicing the blade purely because the grade of the Second Moon Willow Blade was the highest among all the cultivation arts she obtained. It wasn't because she liked blade arts.
"Who are you?"
Han Xi's eyes narrowed. An intermediate-grade saint-tier cultivation art? Who would take something like this as a meeting gift? However, she didn't know why, but when she saw the deep and clear eyes of this middle-aged man, she instinctively felt that he wasn't lying.
However, what shocked her the most was still his guidance. He was able to accurately say that she had been practicing the blade arts for 12 years. Such judgment was truly terrifying.
However, before the middle-aged man could introduce it, Han Xi looked at the bamboo scroll and revealed a bitter smile.
"Even if it's a divine-tier cultivation art, what's the use if I have it now?"
Han Xi's heart was like dead ashes.
"At the very least, you can take revenge!"
The middle-aged man nodded imperceptibly. Han Xi's character was worthy of admiration. If she revealed a trace of joy because she suddenly obtained a top-grade cultivation art, he would immediately give up on recruiting her.
"Revenge?"
Although Han Xi was angry at those sanctimonious great teachers, things like revenge had never crossed her mind before.
"That's right!"
The middle-aged man drank a mouthful of soy milk. "Don't you feel that their faces are repulsive? They think that they have died and are saying a few words of consolation? Do you think that this matter can be brushed aside? "
"At the end of the day, the death of your students is because of these fellows. They sealed their knowledge and thoughts, shackling the young master teachers with shackles!"
"If Hua Jianmu could learn a top-grade cultivation art, even if he couldn't defeat that Xuanyuan Po today, he would still be able to retreat safely."
Upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man, intense resentment and reluctance appeared in the space between Han Xi's brows. She recalled her path of learning in the past. In order to obtain this inferior-grade heaven-tier cultivation art, she had paid a great price.
"As long as they exist, in the future, there will be many tragedies like the two of you. Hence, why don't we overthrow them and change the great teacher world?"
The middle-aged man suggested.
"Overthrow them?"
Han Xi's heart suddenly pounded. After that, she looked at Hua Jianmu.
Honestly speaking, after her personal student died, Han Xi was also in a daze. But now, the words of the middle-aged man woke her up.
"If you don't want to live anymore, why don't you use your body to make some contributions to Han Xi and Hua Jianmu?"
The middle-aged man extended his right hand and smiled at Han Xi. "Welcome to Dark Dawn!"
This time, Han Xi held the middle-aged man's hand without the slightest hesitation, even though she had already guessed the middle-aged man's background.
But so what?
"From today onward, you are a dark master teacher!"
The middle-aged man drank up the soy milk in the bamboo tube. "Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Li Poxiao, one of the Seven Masters of Dark Dawn."
Han Xi's eyes widened. She hadn't expected him to be a major character of this level. He was completely different from the rumored villains who killed people like flies and left darkness shrouded wherever they went!
"There are many outstanding juniors in our Dark Dawn. I believe you will be able to find a new personal disciple!"
The Daybreak Starlord consoled.
"No need!"
Han Xi didn't want to accept any more students.
"Is that so? That's really regretful. I was still hoping to see the student you taught defeat Sun Mo's personal student. But it doesn't matter. It's also quite good that you can defeat Sun Mo! "
The Daybreak Starlord's tone was amiable and approachable.
"I will!"
Han Xi clutched the bamboo scroll tightly. (Jianmu, just watch. I will defeat Sun Mo within three years and prove to you that I'm the strongest!)
"In that case, you have to work hard in your cultivation. After all, there are many rising stars in our Dark Dawn who are lining up to find trouble for Sun Mo."
The Daybreak Starlord encouraged her.
...
Because of Hua Jianmu's death, a shadow was cast over the third round. However, the Saint Gate was such a big organization and had long since expected such a situation to happen. It was impossible for them to mourn for an unknown student. Hence, the fourth round continued as usual.
Jiang Leng from the 'A' group was the first to fight. But after he saw his opponent, he was completely stunned.
