For almost 90% of the cultivation arts in Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, there were no shortcuts. There was only one word — practice. Cultivate in a down-to-earth manner until one was extremely familiar with it.
It was just like the ultimate divine art of the Skyraise Academy, the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art. Its difficulty lay in the student's understanding of the cultivation art.
Once one understood it, they just had to cultivate it according to the prescribed order.
This was the so-called comprehension ability.
But what about this Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody?
Strictly speaking, it wasn't a cultivation art but a song. It was just that the ancient great teacher who created it was too powerful. Hence, he bestowed it with terrifying attacking prowess.
Something like music had no boundaries.
The most typical example was when many people didn't understand electronic music in foreign languages. However, when they heard the climax, their legs would tremble.
Why could some songs become popular all over the world? It was because they had such influence.
After Sun Mo found his direction, in addition to his 50 years of experience, he instantly had a great comprehension. He also knew why Guan Shijie was stuck at the peak of the Longevity Realm for 20 years.
This cultivation art, or rather, this song, when one cultivated, one should use their body according to a certain rhythm.
To put it simply, that ancient great teacher had already reached an extremely high realm of using his own body, mountains, and rivers as a musical instrument.
He used his own body to resonate with others and this world.
"So this is the case!"
Sun Mo's lips curled up into a smile. The second step was to understand the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody. He had done it. Next, he had to win this competition.
"Teacher Guan, sorry for the offense!"
As Sun Mo spoke, he attacked again. But this time around, the moment he slashed out, Guan Shijie's expression changed drastically.
Eh?
Why did this move of his have a hint of the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody?
No!
Impossible. The number of people in the Nine Provinces who had learned this cultivation art could be counted on two hands. Moreover, he had researched it for over 100 years before he reached his current realm...
However, Sun Mo's slash really had a hint of flavor.
"I didn't wait for you for three minutes in vain!"
Guan Shijie had an excited look on his face. He even licked his lips and did a small action that didn't match his age and status.
This was the incredible eye of discernment possessed by a master teacher. To be able to receive enlightenment from a single move of the other party, it was as if he was being imbued with wisdom.
In order to grasp that feeling, Guan Shijie lifted his hand and cast Gushing Thoughts on himself.
"..."
The master teachers were dumbfounded.
Why did Great Teacher Guan also cast a similar great teacher halo?
Could there really be some kind of explanation?
Sun Mo couldn't help but feel impressed when he saw that Guan Shijie was able to see through the intricacies of a single slash. A 6-star great teacher truly lived up to his name.
Sun Mo immediately changed his move. He whetted Guan Shijie's appetite and started to act according to his plan.
Just when Sun Mo was cheering for Guan Shijie's talent, the system was also exclaiming in admiration at his extraordinary aptitude.
Time emblems could increase one's experience, but the amount of experience gained depended on the aptitude of the user.
For example, if Sun Mo and Qi Shengjia cultivated the same cultivation art, Sun Mo's improvement from using a one year time emblem would far surpass the honest guy.
It could be said that Sun Mo's 50 years of effort had resulted in close to 100 years of Guan Shijie's experience. If he had more time, Sun Mo's achievements in this cultivation art would definitely be much greater than Guan Shijie's.
The battle resumed.
After over ten moves, An Xinhui furrowed her brows. Although the situation didn't seem to be any different from before, An Xinhui's sharp senses told her that Guan Shijie was abnormal.
At the start, he was only defending normally, wanting to receive Sun Mo's ultimate move. But gradually, he started to take the initiative to attack.
However, these moves weren't enough to defeat Sun Mo directly.
Or rather, Sun Mo seemed to know what the consequences of these moves would be. Hence, he could completely evade them in advance.
"Teacher Sun is guiding Guan Shijie to attack?"
Wang Su was astonished.
"How is that possible?"
The few great teachers at the side subconsciously retorted.
"Hehe, I misspoke."
Wang Su smiled in self-mockery and shook his head. It was impossible. How could Sun Mo fight a teaching battle?
In the great teacher world, there were some great teachers who weren't willing to say too much when teaching their students. They would use combat methods to let their students comprehend.
In terms of Go, it was called giving a piece to guide the students.
However, this kind of teaching required the great teacher's cultivation base to be much higher than the student's. They also had to have a deep understanding of the content being taught.
But Sun Mo...
Wang Su admitted that it wouldn't be a problem for Sun Mo to guide any student in the Central Province Academy, even if it was a top graduate like Fang Yan. But guiding Guan Shijie...
Wasn't that a little ridiculous?
Gu Xiuxun glanced at Wang Su and mumbled, "If it's Sun Mo, it might really be possible. After all, he's a man who keeps on creating miracles."
Sun Mo didn't understand a teaching battle. What he was doing was feeding moves.
Guan Shijie's disadvantage was that he didn't understand the rhythm and rhythm of the Vast Sea Angry Tides. In that case, he would use moves to help Guan Shijie comprehend it.
Hence, at this moment, Guan Shijie felt extremely good. In fact, he even started to take the initiative to attack.
Because when he was cultivating, those parts that were rough and sluggish also became smooth and smooth. It was like an unlucky guy who had been constipated for half a year was instantly unleashed.
To his heart's content!
"This feeling is so strange, but it feels so comfortable!"
Because of Sun Mo feeding moves, Guan Shijie tasted the essence of the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody for the first time.
It really wasn't a cultivation art but a piece of music. It was only because it was too powerful that it was treated as a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art.
It was like the few forbidden songs in the world. Black Friday was the most famous. It was said that it was also called the Divine Song of Suicide.
Because when one was in a bad mood, it was very easy for one to commit suicide after listening to this song.
Guan Shijie couldn't hold it in anymore. It was like his life had reached a climax. He suddenly pulled out his sword and sang loudly.
Ah!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Circles of sound waves spread out. However, to ordinary spectators, it wasn't ear-piercing. On the contrary, it felt like they were on a sailboat that was soaring on the sea.
Their hearts were carefree and relaxed, unrestrained. It was as if they had wings and were flying toward the azure sky, passing through the clouds and neon lights. They were the companions of the clouds, free and unfettered.
"Oh no!"
After roaring, Guan Shijie was shocked. He had said that he wouldn't use spirit qi, but in the end, he couldn't help but use it. If he was careless and killed Sun Mo...
Wouldn't that mean that he wouldn't be able to enjoy such a battle again?
Guan Shijie hurriedly retracted his move and looked toward Sun Mo. However, he discovered that Sun Mo was already standing at a corner of the arena, safe and sound.
"..."
Guan Shijie was a little shocked. Did Sun Mo know that he was going to attack and evade in advance?
(Forget it, I won't think about it anymore.)
"Teacher Sun, come and fight!"
Guan Shijie urged.
Sun Mo smiled and shook his head.
"Haha, is Teacher Sun going to admit defeat?"
Cao Xian laughed. "It's fine. It would be impossible for you to win against Teacher Guan."
When Cao Xian was still in school, Guan Shijie was already a teacher in the Myriad Daos Academy. Hence, he had always addressed Guan Shijie as Teacher.
"Hehe, it seems that I've already persisted for three minutes?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Eh!"
Headmaster Cao's expression stiffened. He glanced at Guan Shijie. It seemed that Guan Shijie had really said this before.
"Aiya, don't care so much. Teacher Sun, right? Come quickly, let's fight again! "
Guan Shijie urged, feeling impatient.
"Teacher Guan, do you know why you want to continue sparring with me?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
Guan Shijie started and sank into contemplation.
The other great teachers were stunned as well. After that, they were dumbfounded.
(It can't be, right? From Sun Mo's tone, it seems like he wants to guide Guan Shijie?)
But based on what?
Sun Mo's future accomplishments might not be inferior to Guan Shijie. But even if he were to wait another ten years from now, it wouldn't be enough. This was because he lacked accumulation.
"Sun Mo, you're too arrogant!"
That Bai Qilin couldn't bear to watch on anymore and spat at Sun Mo. "This is a great disrespect to Teacher Guan!"
Before Sun Mo could say anything, Guan Shijie spat at him.
"Shut up!"
"Eh!"
Bai Qilin immediately felt aggrieved like a little wife who was bullied by her parents. (I'm speaking up for you.)
(Why are you reprimanding me?)
"Do you know why you've been stuck at the peak of the Longevity Realm for so long?"
Sun Mo asked again.
The moment he said this, everyone gasped in shock.
"Haha, you're wrong. Teacher Guan is at the Legendary Realm!"
Bai Qilin said.
"I told you to shut up. Didn't you hear me?"
Guan Shijie's expression became even more solemn. After shouting at Bai Qilin, he looked toward Sun Mo with a probing gaze. It was because Sun Mo had completely guessed his cultivation realm. But how did Sun Mo know?
Guan Shijie was a 6-star great teacher after all. After carefully thinking about the battle earlier, he was shocked. Why was Sun Mo's feeding moves so proficient?
It had been over a hundred years. Even when he sparred with his three sons who had some achievements in the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody, he had never tasted such a wondrous feeling before.
"Listen to the melody to observe the person and see the world. Teacher Guan, have you heard the cultivation art you executed before?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning in the dark night, directly flashing in Guan Shijie's mind, giving him some comprehension. However, he couldn't grasp what it was exactly.
Sun Mo no longer spoke.
This was his battle strategy. (I might not be able to win against you, but I can make you call me daddy. If you don't admit defeat?) (Then you can forget about improving.)
Sun Mo didn't believe that Gu Shijie, who had been stuck at the Longevity Realm for many years, would be able to endure such temptation.
Moreover, the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody was definitely the Guan family's heirloom cultivation art. If it could be perfected in his generation, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his descendants.
Sun Mo jumped down from the arena and walked back to his side.
"Sun Mo has lost!"
The students of the Myriad Daos Academy who came to support the great teachers immediately cheered when they saw Sun Mo coming down. It was as if they had defeated a great demon king.
"We've finally won!"
The assistant heaved a sigh of relief.
"Didn't I say that Teacher Guan would be able to crush a great teacher circle?"
Cao Xiao smiled. Just when he was about to shout, he heard Guan Shijie's voice.
"Teacher Sun, please hold on!"
Guan Shijie walked forward and clasped his fists. "Teacher Sun, please explain!"
For a time, the great teachers of both sides were dumbfounded. This... was this a request for guidance?
