Qu Bo was a handsome young man, and he even had a fan club.
Below the stage, there were a few female students from the Myriad Daos Academy cheering for him. If it wasn't for the fact that it was too troublesome to transfer schools, they would also want to follow Qu Bo here.
"Does anyone else want to challenge me?"
Qu Bo asked in a calm and composed manner, but in his heart, he was already panicking.
It was because Jin Mujie wasn't the only one who came.
"Aiya, my target was originally Jin Mujie, but Sun Mo is here as well. What should I do? It's so hard to choose. Sigh, I was born as a human, but I'm actually so outstanding. It's so annoying. "
Qu Bo felt depressed.
He was a precocious boy, and he wanted a female teacher who was both talented and good-looking. Not only was she pleasing to the eye, she could also guide him and bring him improvement. It was simply perfect.
"Teacher Jin is very beautiful, and her teaching capabilities have also been proven. She's one of the top students in the Central Province Academy."
"Sun Mo is the newly ascended number one great teacher in Jinling. He has the great reputation of God Hands and his looks aren't bad either. If we just look at his potential, he should be pretty good. But if I were to follow him, I would have to face his face for tens or even hundreds of years."
Qu Bo was extremely conflicted. I don't like men.
In his heart, Qu Bo was more inclined to acknowledge a female great teacher as his teacher.
As for the other party not accepting him?
Come on, is my 12-game winning streak fake?
Given my aptitude, even great teachers are begging me to join them!
"Next!"
Qu Bo urged in a louder voice.
I can't choose who to take as my teacher. How vexing. I'll first obtain 13 consecutive victories to calm my nerves.
Below the arena, however, no one responded.
If it was a spar during normal times, no one would care about winning or losing. They would focus on accumulating experience. However, it was different now. Jin Mujie and Sun Mo were present. If they were to lose, it would be too embarrassing.
In this state of mind, the students who originally had the strength to challenge Qu Bo all held back.
Jin Mujie, who was chatting idly with Sun Mo, heard Qu Bo's third challenge and discovered that no one went up to the stage. Her countenance immediately sank.
The Battle Hall was the number one club in the Central Province Academy, and Jin Mujie had spent a lot of effort to manage it. She had personally guided many students in the Battle Hall before. Now that she saw their current state, she was simply angered to death.
"Where's your courage? Eaten by a dog? "
Jin Mujie berated.
"How can you be called a man if you worry about personal gains and losses?"
"If you're so cowardly, what's the point of cultivating? Even if he reached the Longevity Realm, he would still be a tortoise who would be scolded and beaten up by others! "
"A young man should have the spirit of loyalty of a young man. No matter how strong the enemy is, no matter whether he wins or loses, I only want to fight with all my strength!"
A golden halo radiated out. Priceless Advice was activated.
Some of the boys' faces flushed red with embarrassment.
"I've let you see a joke."
Jin Mujie felt very embarrassed.
If it was one year ago, she wouldn't care about Sun Mo's opinion. But now, she couldn't do so. He might even get 3 stars in a year and be at the same level as her. Therefore, Jin Mujie no longer looked at him with the gaze of a junior. Instead, she felt a sense of acknowledgement that she didn't want to be inferior to him.
"Jin shi is being too serious."
Sun Mo smiled.
While the two of them were talking, six boys jumped into the ring in unison.
"Everyone, let me go first!"
A bald man cupped his fists. Judging from his physique, he should be at least a seventh-year student, right?
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless. (You wanted to go to the Shaolin Temple to become a monk, but in the end, you entered the Central Province Academy by mistake, right? What kind of performance art is shaving your head bald?
Could it be that you were born with hair loss?
Speaking of which, even if the ancient massage technique was a divine art, it didn't seem to have the ability to grow hair. It seemed like hair loss was a great problem that had tormented many worlds.
"His name is Qin Feng, and he's a martial arts fanatic. The reason why he's bald is because he doesn't want to waste time on things like washing his hair."
Jin Mujie explained. She had an impression of this young man. He was very hardworking.
After the two of them exchanged greetings, the sparring started.
Swords were king weapons. To a guy like Qu Bo who pursued elegance and handsomeness, there was no way he would choose a second weapon.
Qin Feng's weapon was more tyrannical and rare. It was a meteor hammer, and as he swung it, the metal chains rattled.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Qu Bo's longsword accurately struck the meteor hammer. He was actually able to borrow the force of the meteor hammer and deflect his attack. In short, although it looked like he was surrounded by danger, in fact, he didn't even hurt a hair on the meteor hammer.
Whirlwind Slash!
Qin Feng roared in rage. His entire body spun and was like a tornado as he rushed toward Qu Bo. His meteor hammer left behind many afterimages, like it had turned into a steel tempest.
Qu Bo retreated. When he retreated to the edge of the stage, he did a 90-degree turn and dodged to the right.
Qin Feng also changed his direction or he would fall. But at this moment, Qu Bo made a move.
Flying Bird!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The longsword's speed was extremely fast. In the time it took for sparks to fly off a flint, it pierced through the afterimages of the meteor hammer and jabbed into Qin Feng's hand, causing him to scream in agony.
He couldn't hold on to the heavy meteor hammer anymore and it flew out of his hand.
Ah!
Some students cried out because the meteor hammer was flying toward them. Just as it was about to smash into someone, a large peony flower condensed from spirit qi bloomed in the air and slammed into the meteor hammer.
Bang!
The meteor hammer was like a baseball that was struck by a baseball bat. It was sent flying high into the air and then smashed into the green belt over 30 meters away with a bang.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Sun Mo sheathing his wooden blade.
"Teacher Sun truly lives up to his reputation."
"Isn't his control a little too terrifying? He drew his blade in time and struck the meteor hammer that was flying at high speed before smashing it into the green belt. One must know that the green belt is only one meter wide. If the force used was too strong or too weak, the landing point would be off target. "
"Aren't you guys talking nonsense? If Teacher Sun isn't strong, how can he get 2 stars in a year and become a two-time champion? "
The students discussed. A few meticulous people noticed that Jin Mujie had also drawn her sword, but she didn't make a move in time.
One must know that if she was too slow, the meteor hammer might injure someone. Hence, it was impossible for Jin Mujie to hold back. This meant that Sun Mo's reaction speed surpassed Jin Mujie's.
Qin Feng clutched his right wrist as fresh blood flowed out from the gaps between his fingers. His countenance was pale, not because of pain but because he had lost.
"Thanks for letting me win."
Qu Bo elegantly sheathed his sword, causing his fans to cheer.
"Teacher Sun, why don't you give us some comments?"
Jin Mujie suggested.
"Before Teacher Jin, it's better for me to hide my abilities!"
Sun Mo shook his head.
Jin Mujie rolled her eyes. "This is a great opportunity to make your presence known. Why are you rejecting it?"
After saying that, she didn't give Sun Mo a chance to reject and directly said, "Everyone, quiet down. Let Teacher Sun comment on this battle."
In an instant, the close to 1,000 students in the surroundings fell silent. Their gazes all landed on Sun Mo.
"Many thanks, Teacher Jin."
Sun Mo knew that Jin Mujie was doing this for his own good. After all, this was her territory. Logically speaking, he didn't have the qualifications to give pointers.
Naturally, Sun Mo didn't have stage fright.
"Let's talk about student Qin Feng first. Firstly, you are too impatient. You always want to determine the victor as soon as possible, giving your enemies a chance.
"You must know that the best battle situation is to bring the battle into your own rhythm and become the controller. You must adjust, accumulate energy, erupt, and choose a different rhythm based on your opponent's reaction as well as your own situation. In any case, you must think of all ways to make your opponent uncomfortable.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you will feel irritated. If you feel irritated, you will make mistakes.
"It's not wrong to want to crush your opponent in a single blow. But if you add in some variations, it would be even better. This is especially so when your strength is evenly matched. Patience is an important factor in determining victory."
Sun Mo spoke frankly with assurance. After saying this, he paused for a moment, giving the students time to digest his words.
"My Teacher Sun is really impressive!"
Jin Mujie exclaimed in admiration.
Usually, after a great teacher finished giving pointers, the students would applaud and discuss. But this time around, there was nothing. The surroundings were terrifyingly silent.
Why?
Because what Sun Mo said was true.
He wasn't just giving pointers to Qin Feng. He was giving pointers to everyone because the things he said were applicable to all students.
What was a great teacher?
This was it.
Every word and sentence could bring inspiration to others.
A few students even took out their little notebooks and noted down the main points of Sun Mo's words.
"Secondly, Qin Feng, do you know the disadvantage of this move?"
Sun Mo asked.
"I know!"
Qin Feng nodded. The disadvantage of the Whirlwind Slash was that the inertia was too great. If he changed directions, he would have to spend a lot of effort to adjust.
"Since you know, why didn't you focus on defense?"
Sun Mo didn't understand. "Look, Student Qu made use of positioning to change directions. After that, he accurately calculated the timing and defeated his opponent in a single strike."
After hearing this, Qu Bo couldn't help but look at Sun Mo.
This teacher was really impressive!
"In the eyes of many students, Student Qu won because his sword arts are superb. But in truth, the crux of his victory was his positioning and that strike when he changed directions."
"The truly impressive thing about Student Qu is his calmness, decisiveness, and battle strategy."
"At the instant he saw his opponent going up the stage, he started to judge his opponent's type through their physique and gaze. After that, he came up with a battle strategy."
Sun Mo praised.
"Teacher Sun is praising me too much."
Qu Bo was humble.
"So this guy is actually so awesome?"
"I didn't expect that a single victory would contain so many things."
"As expected of a genius with 13 consecutive victories."
The students sighed ruefully and felt a little disappointed because they couldn't even tell the reason why Sun Mo had won. What was the point of fighting then?
"What kind of expressions are you guys having? Inferiority complex? Low spirits? Do you feel that you are inferior to him? "
Sun Mo frowned and roared, "All of you, raise your heads and look at me!"
Upon seeing Sun Mo suddenly becoming stern, the students were astonished.
"No one is born an expert. All these things are obtained through training. Do you know what the most important thing is for cultivation?"
Sun Mo asked.
"Aptitude!"
Many students didn't say anything, but this thought appeared in their hearts.
"Let me tell you guys. Actually, it's your willpower, perseverance, and aptitude that determine your lower limits. As for your willpower and perseverance, they determine your upper limits.
"Blood ignition, divine force, longevity, legendary, saint realm. The higher one's cultivation realm, the harder it is to increase. It's like climbing a mountain. Who doesn't know how to raise their legs and take a step? But those with weak willpower and perseverance would never be able to reach the peak. "
Everyone sank into contemplation. More and more students started to crowd over.
"You guys should know that Qi Shengjia is a member of the Battle Hall. There's no need for me to say how clumsy he is, right? At one point, he was about to be expelled from school. But now, he is doing very well in the Battle Hall. "
Sun Mo gave an example.
"Teacher, that's because you taught him well!"
A student shouted.
"If that's the case, wouldn't the Saint Sword Hero or Saber Saint randomly choose a student to teach?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
Those new students immediately started to find out who Qi Shengjia was. As for the members of the Battle Hall, they only realized something after a while. That was right, Qi Shengjia was already so powerful?
"For each of you, your greatest enemy isn't that number one standing in front of you. Rather, it's your 'giving up'. That will be your nemesis for life."
As the sound of Sun Mo's voice faded, a golden halo erupted forth.
This was Priceless Advice because this sentence was something Sun Mo was shouting from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone would have moments of regret. (If I put in a little more effort, I might be able to do better and change my fate. But most of the time, no one would be able to put in a little more effort.)
Many people eventually became ordinary people, and they lost because of this mentality.
"Ask yourselves honestly. Have you guys done your best to do something before?"
Sun Mo's voice reverberated in the Battle Hall, so loud that even the deaf could hear.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from the students + 8,120.
Qu Bo suddenly felt that although he could find a beautiful female teacher and it would be pleasing to the eyes, learning and receiving guidance was something that would last for life.
If he chose Sun Mo, he would truly be able to benefit from him for life.
"Sigh, how good would it be if Teacher Sun was a female!"
Qu Bo felt very regretful. Why couldn't he be perfect?
"Qin Feng, you are using the meteor hammer because you want to make up for your lack of agility, right?"
Sun Mo asked again.
Qin Feng immediately bowed. "Yes, I didn't find a good movement art. I also know that I'm tall and bulky, my body is too heavy and my agility isn't high enough. Hence, I wanted to use the meteor hammer to make up for my disadvantage in speed."
The chain of the meteor hammer extended out and was over three meters long. Moreover, it was a heavy weapon that could be used for both long and short distances.
"Your thinking isn't bad, but your body isn't able to support it. Also, there are too few cultivation arts related to the meteor hammer."
Sun Mo suggested, "Why don't you change it to a great halberd?"
"Wouldn't it be too heavy?"
Qin Feng had considered this problem before, but the great halberd was too heavy.
"Given your growth rate, it wouldn't be a problem for you to use a great halberd when you reach adulthood. Moreover, you can create a smaller version of it now. If you don't have money, I can personally sponsor you. "
Sun Mo didn't lack money. He had good intentions, but someone interrupted.
"Teacher Sun, I feel that the meteor hammer is more suitable for Qin Feng."
A middle-aged man walked out.
"Who is this?"
Sun Mo asked in a low voice.
"Qin Feng's personal teacher!"
Jin Mujie introduced, "Zheng Jie."
"..."
Sun Mo suddenly felt a pain in his balls. (If I knew you have a teacher, I wouldn't have said so much. Wouldn't this be something that would offend others?)
Looking at the other party's expression, it seemed like he wanted nothing more than to tear Sun Mo apart.
Thinking about it, this person suggested for his personal disciple to learn the meteor hammer. In the end, Sun Mo wanted to change to another weapon. Wasn't this saying that his teacher had guided him wrongly?
