An Xinhui turned her head and looked at a middle-aged great teacher. However, the other party shook his head.
If no one accepted the challenge, it meant that Liang Jumu's Oiran Puppet would be able to beat Zhongzhou.
A group battle between great teachers was so simple and straightforward. If you were strong, you would be strong.
The students were young and all of them yearned to enter a powerful school to learn. Hence, the performance of the Central Province Academy would be a deduction.
Mao Ying's face was pale. He wanted to fight again, but to be honest, he didn't have confidence.
Sun Mo activated his Divine Sight and admired the Courtesan Flower Puppet. Maybe one day, he would be able to become a machinist after he obtained a skill book on the art of mechanisms.
However, after taking a look, Sun Mo instantly frowned.
The Courtesan Belle Puppet had exquisite craftsmanship, comparable to a real person. The only pity was that it was made of ordinary wood, so its sturdiness was worrisome.
Its core was the combination of the Mechanical Technique and the Spirit Communication Technique. Rather than saying it was a mechanical puppet, it was better to say that it was a vessel for a soul.
Note: Her soul came from a top courtesan.
Sun Mo glanced at Liang Jumu. This young man was very handsome and had status. He had the capital to make a courtesan fall head over heels for him.
As a spirit controller grandmaster, Sun Mo knew that there were some dark secret arts that could extract the souls of humans or animals and inject them into other places.
Because it was too devoid of humanity, this kind of secret technique was basically taboo.
"Is there no one in your school who wants to teach me? This match is Master Liang's victory! "
Cao Xian asked in a clear voice.
"Wait, I have something to say!"
Sun Mo spoke.
Whoosh!
Everyone could see that.
"What? Is Teacher Sun a machinist? "
Liang Jumu was curious.
"Sun Mo, don't be rash!"
An Xinhui persuaded in a low voice. Sun Mo's God Hands, the study of spirit runes, and the art of spiritual control were all very strong. Clearly, he needed time to learn them.
In that case, even if he knew the Mechanical Technique, his level was probably not high, and he had only dabbled in it. If he were to make a move now, he would only be humiliating himself.
Sun Mo indicated for An Xinhui to calm down. After that, he looked toward Liang Jumu. "I'm not a mechanism master. I only want to say that the combination of mechanism technique and spiritual control technique does produce an extraordinary effect. However, isn't it a little inhumane to do this?"
Hua!
A commotion broke out. After all, Sun Mo's words were too explosive. This was especially so for the word 'inhumane'. It caused everyone to be horrified.
This was a very blunt accusation.
"Sun Mo, what do you mean by this? Are you a sore loser? "
As the headmaster, Cao Xian immediately stood out and berated Sun Mo. He had to protect the great teachers of his school.
Honestly speaking, Cao Xian regarded Sun Mo very highly. If he had no other choice, he didn't wish to shed all pretense of cordiality with Sun Mo.
Liang Jumu looked at Sun Mo in astonishment. This brat actually understood the profoundness of the oiran puppet?
"Teacher Sun, what's the matter?"
Mao Ying asked.
"No matter how lifelike the mechanical puppets are, they are still not humans. But don't you think that this oiran doll is too much like a human?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Teacher Sun, although its movements are very nimble, it's still within the realm of a puppet."
Mao Qiang spoke up for Liang Jumu.
"No, I mean the sound!"
Sun Mo shook her head.
"Ah? Isn't that recorded with a Recording Stone before playing it out? "
Someone was shocked.
"No, that was a live performance!"
After Sun Mo spoke, everyone exclaimed in shock, feeling their hair standing on end. Even though it was summer, they still felt a chill on their backs.
Great teachers at Wang Su's level were frowning as they stared at Liang Jumu with unfriendly gazes.
As a great teacher, they had to set an example for their students. If they were to walk on the path of evil, everyone would have the right to punish them.
"Teacher Sun, is it? My surname is Hua and my name is Manyue. Nice to meet you! "
The oiran doll suddenly spoke, causing everyone to jump in fright.
"Ever since I was young, I was sold by my father at a cheap price. After that, I wandered around many places and became an oiran doll, falling in love with Lord Liang at first sight. However, my body is weak and I'm unable to spend a long time with Lord Liang. After yearning for him for a long time, my heart was filled with reluctance. Hence, I begged Lord Liang to turn me into a puppet to accompany him."
The oiran doll walked over and appeared before Sun Mo. After it finished speaking, it even bowed.
The entire public square fell silent. Everyone's eyes were wide open as they looked at this mechanical puppet, filled with astonishment.
"This... this... is actually a real human?"
This was especially so for the students. They felt that their worldview had been toppled.
Some female great teachers with rich emotions felt tears welling up in their eyes when they heard Hua Manyue's sorrowful voice. This was definitely a poignant love story.
Liang Jumu clasped his hands and had a sorrowful look on his face, but he didn't refute.
Actually, there was no need for him to refute. As the person in question, Hua Manyue didn't despise him. Hence, Sun Mo didn't have the stance to support justice.
"Teacher Sun, there's no need to say anymore. The combination of mechanical arts and spiritual control is already a profound skill. It's many levels higher compared to my Pegasus."
Mao Ying sighed. "I've lost this round."
"Alright, let's start the second round!"
Cao Xian intervened. "Teacher Liang, you can step down!"
Although Hua Manyue was protecting him, to speak the truth, it was still a taboo to inject a human's soul into a puppet.
Sun Mo pursed his lips. This was the first time he encountered such a thing. Hence, he had no way to know if the oiran doll was willing or if it said those words under Liang Jumu's influence.
After all, spiritual beasts were a very bizarre subject.
"This Sun Mo truly lives up to his reputation!"
The great teachers of the Myriad Daos Academy surveyed Sun Mo, feeling a little surprised. Being able to see through Liang Jumu's secret meant that Sun Mo was very knowledgeable.
Hence, Sun Mo gained over 100 favorable impression points, and all of them were given by great teachers.
"Since Teacher Sun has come out, why don't we compete in the study of spirit runes for the second round?"
Cao Xian wanted nothing more than to suppress Sun Mo immediately. This way, An Xinhui wouldn't be able to use her fame as a two-time champion to recruit new students. After all, a loser would be very disappointing.
"The content of the first round was decided by you guys. For the second round, shouldn't it be decided by us?"
If it was during normal times, An Xinhui wouldn't mind. But in this situation, she didn't wish for any accidents to happen. Sun Mo's reputation had to be preserved.
"Why? Is Teacher Sun afraid? "
A young man close to 30 years of age walked out. "I'm Fu Hong, a 2-star great teacher. I heard that Teacher Sun got full marks in the spirit runes examination and I'm willing to seek guidance from Teacher Sun."
Since he had already said this, what else could An Xinhui do?
"Sun Mo, f * ck him up!"
Gu Xiuxun cheered. She had seen Sun Mo thrashing those geniuses from famous schools before. Hence, there was no need for her to fear this Fu Hong.
"I don't dare to say that I'm seeking guidance. Let's spar a little!"
Sun Mo also knew how to say polite words.
"I have a piece of beast skin that was dug out from a ruin in the Darkness Continent. There are damaged spirit rune diagrams on it. Teacher Sun, please complete them!"
As Fu Hong spoke, he opened a box and took out a piece of beast skin that had traces of being burnt. He then passed it to Sun Mo.
Sun Mo received it.
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man from the Central Province Academy's side also stood out and came to Sun Mo's side. His name was Zhou Long, and he was a 3-star great teacher who majored in the study of spirit runes.
"Teacher Zhou can complete them as well!"
Fu Hong's lips curled into a smile. He had an expression as though victory was already in his grasp.
"I won't interrupt!"
Zhou Long explained. He came out because he was interested in these damaged spirit runes and not because he wanted to participate in the battle. If not, it would be too much of a bully.
"Hehe, feel free to interrupt. If you can win, consider it my loss!"
Fu Hong teased.
Zhou Long's countenance instantly turned black. (Are you looking down on me?)
"I originally didn't want to set a time limit, but with so many people watching, I can't possibly keep waiting. How about giving Teacher Sun two hours to complete them?"
Cao Xian suggested.
"That's too long. Just 15 minutes will do!"
Sun Mo shook his head.
"Teacher Sun, don't be rash!"
Wang Su persuaded. Usually, it didn't matter if they won or lost. But in such a situation, if a great teacher lost, it would be a stain on their life.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo nodded. After that, he turned his head and called out, "Ziqi, come over. I'll leave it to you."
"Roger!"
Li Ziqi received the beast skin with both hands.
"Sun Mo, what do you mean by this?"
Fu Hong frowned and asked. (What do you mean by letting a student participate in a battle between great teachers?)
Even Zhou Long looked at Sun Mo in astonishment. But after that, he focused his attention on appraising the spirit runes because this was a rare opportunity.
Sun Mo couldn't be bothered to reply.
"Wow, Teacher Sun is so arrogant!"
Yao Guang sat on a tree and looked over. How awkward would it be if Sun Mo lost?
Helian Beifang squeezed into the crowd, causing the students in the surroundings to feel very unhappy. (Do you know that you are very smelly?)
Cao Xian's original intention was to wait for Sun Mo to decipher the spirit runes before competing. After all, everyone couldn't possibly just wait, right?
However, Sun Mo said 15 minutes. Hence, there was no other way.
A copper incense burner was placed on the table and three sticks of incense were lit up.
The summer wind blew past, feeling a little hot.
"Teacher, do you want to eat some melon?"
Lu Zhiruo passed a piece of watermelon over. Because she had bought it outside the school, she was perspiring profusely from the heat.
"No need!"
Sun Mo glanced at the incense. One-third of it had been burned.
"It's fine, you guys can continue. I said that I'll give you two hours, so two hours it is."
Cao Xian was very magnanimous.
"No need."
Li Ziqi passed the beast skin to Zhou Long.
"Ah?"
Zhou Long was a little stunned. What kind of scheme was this?
"Let's begin!"
Sun Mo instructed.
At the side, a brush, ink, and paper had already been prepared. When Li Ziqi heard this, she stood at the side of the table and started drawing.
Cao Xian frowned and looked at Fu Hong.
"If she can complete that spirit rune, I will twist my head off for you to kick like a ball!"
Fu Hong's lips twitched.
Li Ziqi drew the spirit rune.
Zhou Long couldn't endure it. He walked over and lowered his head to take a look. Two minutes later, he couldn't help but cry out, "F * * *!"
As a great teacher, it would be detrimental to his status if he cursed. However, Zhou Long couldn't endure it because this girl's drawing was completely correct.
At that moment, Zhou Long's gaze was filled with possessiveness when he looked at Li Ziqi.
(How good would it be if she was my personal disciple?
Then I would have a successor to inherit my knowledge.)
(Damnable Sun Mo, I'm so envious!)
"Teacher Fu..."
Cao Xian's tone also turned solemn. He didn't know Li Ziqi's standard, but he knew that Zhou Long was very impressive. Since Zhou Long could make Zhou Long admire him so much, didn't that mean...
"Headmaster, don't worry. We will win this round for sure!"
Fu Hong was very confident. Zhou Long? He was just a 3-star teacher, it was just for show!
