"Interesting!"
Gao Ben touched his chin and turned to leave. Sun Mo's combat prowess was ordinary. It was only the cultivation art that he cultivated that was worth looking at. However, it was still insufficient against Gao Ben.
To Gao Ben, he basically didn't place Sun Mo in his eyes at all. Liu Mubai was the truly strong opponent. As for Gu Xiuxun and Zhang Lan, they could each be considered half a threat.
Right now, Gao Ben's energy was already focused on the first public lecture. He wanted to prepare well and then amaze the world with a single brilliant feat three days later.
From then on, there would be another rising star in the great teacher world.
Gu Xiuxun had planned to leave, but when she saw An Xinhui walking toward Sun Mo, she also came over.
"Well done."
An Xinhui praised with a smile on her face. The pressure she exuded in the past was less, replaced by gentleness.
"En!"
Sun Mo casually responded. He didn't feel abnormally happy because of his fiancée's praise.
The surrounding crowd was currently dispersing. When the male teachers saw the two great beauties standing beside Sun Mo, their eyes were filled with envy.
Luckily, Sun Mo could only eat one. No, he might not even be able to eat one!
"Sun Mo, I know that you are proud and arrogant, but you shouldn't have gone head-on against Feng Zewen. No matter what, he is a 1-star great teacher. If he was determined to make things difficult for you, you would definitely suffer."
Gu Xiuxun's impression of Sun Mo wasn't bad. Hence, she persuaded him in passing. Sometimes, one had to shrink back when they should.
"If I don't go against Feng Zewen, will Zhang Hanfu let me off?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
Gu Xiuxun's lips twitched. (I'm reminding you out of goodwill. What kind of attitude is this?) However, when she saw An Xinhui revealing a look of approval, her expression immediately changed to one of shock.
"Did I miss something?"
Gu Xiuxun pondered.
"Let's go!"
Sun Mo didn't wish to talk nonsense here. He waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Huh?"
Gu Xiuxun was stunned again. In the past, those men would always find opportunities to get close to her, but this man was different. He ignored her completely. "Hmph, he must be playing hard to get!"
An Xinhui's gaze was indescribable. She was increasingly unable to understand this childhood sweetheart.
"Headmaster An, do you also feel that he should rebuke Feng Zewen?"
Gu Xiuxun asked the question in her heart.
"Yes."
An Xinhui nodded.
Gu Xiuxun frowned. After all, she was a top graduate of the Myriad Daos Academy and her intelligence wasn't bad. After thinking about it, a look of enlightenment appeared on her face.
"I understand."
Gu Xiuxun clapped. "Sun Mo has offended Zhang Hanfu. Hence, Zhang Hanfu will definitely arrange for someone to find trouble for him during the first public lecture. To Sun Mo, this is an unknown enemy, and he has no way to think of a countermeasure to deal with him. But after he provoked Feng Zewen, the two of them agreed to fight, and the enemy is clear."
With Feng Zewen looking for trouble for Sun Mo, Zhang Hanfu naturally wouldn't take the unnecessary step of finding people to make things difficult for Sun Mo. After all, a 1-star great teacher was enough to crush Sun Mo.
From Sun Mo's point of view, the person making things difficult for him would definitely be Feng Zewen. In that case, by gathering information on Feng Zewen and understanding what Feng Zewen was proficient in, he would be able to target Feng Zewen.
"Not bad!"
An Xinhui didn't expect Sun Mo to be so quick-witted.
Ding!
+ 1 favorable impression points from An Xinhui.
Due to his prestige connection with An Xinhui, Gu Xiuxun looked at Sun Mo's receding back and no longer said anything. There was some astonishment in her gaze. To think that he could still calmly consider these things when he was provoking Zhang Hanfu? Wasn't his resistance to pressure a little too strong?
If it was an ordinary intern teacher, their legs would have turned soft from fear. No, even if an ordinary intern teacher was filled with guts, they wouldn't dare to rebuke a vice headmaster who had a high status and authority.
Ding!
+ 3 favorable impression points from Gu Xiuxun.
Due to his prestige connection with Gu Xiuxun, the two consecutive system notifications made Sun Mo feel as if he had gotten an unexpected windfall. However, An Xinhui and Jin Mujie were the same. It was really difficult to gain their admiration.
In fact, the more talented a person was, the more arrogant they would be. If he wanted to gain their approval and praise, he would have to display a stunning performance.
...
On the campus's stone path, the shade of trees hung down.
A golden book floated before Sun Mo's eyes. With a single thought, the book would automatically flip its pages. On each page, there were words written in ink.
'Soul Shattering Blade Art, middle-grade earth tier, incomplete.'
'Penetrating Long Fist, middle-grade earth tier, incomplete.'
'Dharma Rod Art, middle-grade earth tier, incomplete.'
Because Sun Mo's Immemorial Vairocana was only at the elementary-grade, he needed to hit the target many times before he could complete the cultivation art. Therefore, all these were incomplete.
"Even if it's complete, it's useless!"
Sun Mo took a few glances and lost interest. However, after thinking about it, Zeng Jun was just a descendant of an ordinary family. He relied on his talent and hard work to get to where he was now. If he had a powerful family heirloom art, his name would have long since spread far and wide.
"I remember that Gao Ben has quite a bit of attainment in spear arts. The Mystic Ice Spear Art he cultivates is a spear art passed down in his family. Mn, I should find a chance to learn it!"
Sun Mo contemplated but didn't act immediately.
Immemorial Vairocana was indeed a divine skill. Its prowess was strong, but one had to pay particular attention to the way it was used. If Sun Mo recklessly challenged others, he would be crippled sooner or later.
"Therefore, I still have to raise my cultivation base and increase my combat strength. As long as I can guarantee that I won't be beaten to death, I can use Immemorial Vairocana to unleash the opponent's ultimate art."
Sun Mo touched the wooden blade and glanced at it.
This wooden blade was as expected of a spirit weapon. During the collision earlier, it didn't even have a scratch on it. Sun Mo had been afraid that the beautiful calligraphy would be destroyed. Now, it seemed that he had worried for nothing.
"Do you want to collect these three incomplete cultivation arts?"
The system suddenly asked.
"No need!"
Sun Mo shook his head. These three cultivation arts could be found in the library of any famous school. Therefore, there was no value in collecting them.
Pak!
The golden book immediately shattered into motes of light and vanished without a trace.
Ding!
"Congratulations on defeating Zeng Jun and completing the mission. Reward: 1x black-iron treasure chest."
A black-iron treasure chest appeared before Sun Mo. Before the smile on his face could flow out, the second notification rang out.
Ding!
"Congratulations on defeating a teacher in an actual battle for the first time, completing the 'perfect first time' achievement. Obtained a black-iron treasure chest as the reward for the achievement!"
This was definitely an unexpected surprise.
Sun Mo was joyful and couldn't help but tease, "System, I didn't expect you to be so generous!"
"These are all minor achievements. They are the rewards given to you because of your 'first victory'. After you finish taking them, it won't be easy for you to obtain the other achievements."
The system explained. After a pause, it added, "Moreover, isn't it just a black-iron treasure chest? Look at how happy you are like a 100kg fatty. Can't you be more idealistic? Can't you complete some achievements that will give you a golden treasure chest? "
"Scram!"
Sun Mo's words were concise and comprehensive. (Also, quickly apologize to those 100kg fatties.)
...
All the intern teachers were having a meeting. The freshmen weren't idle either. Those who were preparing to join the school had to complete the enrollment procedures and pay the school fees within two days.
For those who lived far away and needed to stay on campus, they had to quickly collect their daily necessities and head to the dormitory arranged by the school to get the key from the manager so that they could move in earlier.
If there were any problems with the beds or other facilities, they had to quickly report to the manager. They could either request for repairs or change the dormitory. In any case, there were a lot of things to do.
Sun Mo was now a teacher of the Central Province Academy. Hence, he went to the registration area and said a few words. After that, he saw the registration form and found Lu Zhiruo's name.
Female dormitory building, number 12, fifth floor, room 508.
Lu Zhiruo had fetched some water and was using a cloth to clean the floor.
"Where are the others?"
Sun Mo glanced over. The dormitory wasn't big and had eight beds. Three of them already had blankets, but no one was there.
"Teacher Sun?" Upon seeing Sun Mo, Lu Zhiruo's eyes immediately turned into two crescent moons. "They went to tour the campus."
"En!"
Sun Mo walked in. Lu Zhiruo's clothes were placed on the lower bunk on the left side of the window. Hence, this was her bed. "Do you have enough money?"
"Yes... yes!"
In truth, it wasn't really enough. Luckily, Lu Zhiruo still had a dagger with pretty good workmanship. That was something she used for self-defense. She had temporarily mortgaged it to the school to win a three-month buffer period. As long as she paid the school fees within this period, she would be able to get the dagger.
From this point, the Central Province Academy was still very humane. They wouldn't place too much emphasis on money.
"If you don't have enough, remember to tell me."
Sun Mo patted Lu Zhiruo's head. He guessed that this girl was too embarrassed to tell him. Although the Central Province Academy was a'D 'grade school, it was still a famous school. Hence, the school fees weren't cheap.
From Lu Zhiruo's clothes, her family wasn't considered too wealthy.
"Father said that I have to rely on myself. I can't keep troubling you!"
Lu Zhiruo shook her head. She was too innocent and exposed her situation with a single sentence. "I will work part-time in addition to studying. I've also asked. The school has a scholarship. As long as I perform well and get into the top ten in my grade, I'll be able to get it."
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless. (Your potential value is extremely low, even lower than the honest guy, Qi Shengjia. It's already not bad if you can persist for three months and not drop out of school. Yet, you still want to get a scholarship?)
It seemed that he had to find a source of income soon.
Sun Mo had an extremely good impression of Lu Zhiruo. Moreover, she was his lucky mascot and could increase his luck stat, increasing the chances of getting top-grade treasure chests. Hence, he had to keep her by his side no matter what.
At the thought of this, Sun Mo patted Lu Zhiruo's head like how he would stroke his colleague's Siamese cat. After that, he blinked his left eye twice and opened his storage cabinet, calling out three black-iron treasure chests.
Other than the two he had obtained earlier, there was another one that he had obtained after his prestige connection with Li Gong reached 'friendly'.
"Very good, it shall be you then. Open!"
Male on the left, female on the right. Sun Mo chose the first one on the left.
Black light flowed and the treasure chest opened. After that, it disappeared, leaving behind a golden book that quietly floated before his eyes.
"Great!"
