Because Li Ruolan had done an interview with Bai Hao, she had followed this new student group from the Westshore Military School for a period of time. Hence, she knew a little about Lu Lin, who was ranked last and was rumored to have gotten in because of his connections.
Such a person was someone who would be ostracized.
"Then can you help him increase his strength?"
Li Ruolan asked a sharp question. Whether someone was a great teacher or not depended on how much help they could provide to their students.
"Given his level of hard work, it's not the time to compete based on talent. At this stage, I can still help him. But after he reaches a limit, it would be more difficult. It would depend on luck."
Sun Mo spoke the truth. What he could do was to try his best to bring out Lu Lin's potential. As for what level he would reach after that, it would be up to fate.
"You are also a person who only cares about talent!"
Li Ruolan sighed in her heart. (So Sun Mo isn't an exception either. I want to deduct two points from you. Forget it, I will deduct one point from you. After all, you are too handsome and I can't bear to do so.)
However, Li Ruolan's tone became tough.
"Nowadays, many great teachers choose students with good talent to be their disciples. Don't you guys feel that doing this is very unfair to those students with mediocre aptitudes?"
Li Ruolan took out a small notebook and wanted to take notes. She had the attitude of an interview.
"Let me ask you a question first. What is success?"
Sun Mo wasn't anxious. After all, teachers from all eras would discuss such topics in private.
"Making great achievements, standing at the peak of the world and being the center of attention."
Li Ruolan spoke, "To put it in a more utilitarian way, it's to become a person above others.
"In the tens of thousands of years of history, how many people are able to leave behind great achievements and become legends?
"The world is such a huge place. Even if it's filled with people, how many people can stand there?
"There are people above others? Prime ministers who are only under one person? Or wealthy people in a city? Even if it's the latter, with several hundred people, they would be considered dragons and phoenixes among humans in a city with a few million people. "
Sun Mo spoke three times consecutively, causing Li Ruolan to fall silent.
"Your so-called success is too far away for the masses of the world."
Sun Mo sighed ruefully.
"Then what do you say is success?"
Li Ruolan asked.
"Surpassing oneself, as big as achieving a career, being able to provide a better life for one's family and oneself, as small as overcoming laziness and becoming diligent."
Sun Mo looked straight into Li Ruolan's eyes. "Even if you train for half a year and your body becomes stronger and healthier, or even if you successfully lose weight, this is called surpassing yourself."
"You mean …"
Li Ruolan was also an intelligent girl. She more or less understood what was going on.
"I feel that for students with ordinary aptitudes, a teacher's responsibility is to correct their bad habits, help them develop healthy habits, and then help them stimulate their potential, allowing them to reach the next level. They don't necessarily have to achieve great things."
Sun Mo looked at the cultivators passing by and spoke frankly with assurance.
"You're making things difficult for ordinary people by asking them to make a name for themselves. It might even cost them their lives. This kind of thing is only done by outstanding people."
"Great teachers are humans as well. Their time and energy aren't limitless. Therefore, what they need to do is to select the most talented students, guide them with all their might, and then do their best to help them stand at the peak of the world."
"I feel that there's nothing wrong with this!"
This was Sun Mo's philosophy. Although he admired Qi Shengjia a lot, to speak the truth, if he had the chance to recommend his students to saints as disciples, he would definitely not choose the honest guy. In fact, he wouldn't even choose Li Ziqi, whom he admired the most. It was because this was a lose-lose situation.
"To weak students, not being able to keep up with the guidance of great teachers is also an extremely great torment."
Sun Mo had seen too many such students. Their parents thought that they had power and would always think of ways to bribe them to enter the important classes. However, many of them basically couldn't keep up with the progress and were always at the bottom, causing their confidence to crumble. In the end, many of them felt depressed and hated learning.
Sometimes, it wasn't a bad choice to give up the tail of a phoenix and become the head of a chicken.
"Do you know that if these words of yours were to be spread out, it might affect your reputation in the great teacher world?"
Even saints might think this way, but in public, they would still insist on teaching without discrimination. Any student could become a talent.
Li Ruolan looked at Sun Mo and discovered that his eyes were like the stars in the night sky. They were bright, spirited, and had no impurities at all.
The most important thing was that he had a clear conscience.
"Ruolan, sometimes, admitting that you can't make it and recognizing reality is also a kind of growth."
Sun Mo sighed.
The sports world was a place that valued talent the most. If your talent wasn't good enough, even if you worked hard to death and had world-renowned coaches to guide you, you still wouldn't be able to enter the top league tournament and become a top-notch player.
If connections and background were useful, then why were there no famous second-generation players in the sports world?
This was Sun Mo's true thoughts. Hence, golden light shone from his body and spots of light shot out.
Priceless Advice was activated.
"..."
Li Ruolan was speechless. (There are only the two of us now. Should we use our great teacher halos?)
(Alright, I admit that what you said makes sense.)
(I'll just add back the one point that I've lost.)
(No, I'll add two more points!)
Li Ruolan looked at Sun Mo's face. The sunlight at the end of summer was still warm, cascading down on him, causing his entire person to glisten and exude an exuberant aura.
(How handsome!)
Li Ruolan couldn't hold it in. She took out an image-recording stone and aimed it at Sun Mo.
"What are you doing?"
Sun Mo subconsciously lifted his hand to block. (Is this considered a paparazzi secretly taking photos of me?)
"I'm a reporter. I'm taking a photo for my article!"
Li Ruolan calmly explained. After that, she gave a thumbs up for her quick-wittedness in her heart.
(This scene is so meaningful. I want to keep it and admire it a few more times.)
"Oh right, is the true meaning of the murals you told him real or fake?"
Li Ruolan was curious.
Because Sun Mo didn't avoid Li Ruolan, she heard it as well.
"Do I look like a liar to you?"
Sun Mo was speechless.
"That means that if I follow your 'guidance', I can also enter the fourth level of the Battlegod Canyon?"
Li Ruolan felt that her talent was higher than that student from Westshore. Hence, she suddenly felt a little agitated.
Because the Battlegod murals were too obscure and hard to understand, the number of cultivators who could enter the fourth part of the canyon would decrease tremendously.
Let alone reporters who were chasing after hot topics, even ordinary people would be filled with the desire to explore the Battlegod Canyon.
One must know that this was a place that many people wouldn't be able to reach in their entire lives.
"Sure."
Sun Mo nodded with certainty.
"Then based on your deduction, how long would it take for Bai Hao to enter the fourth part of the canyon?"
Li Ruolan surveyed Sun Mo.
"At least two days."
Sun Mo smiled. "Bai Hao is a genius. There's no need to doubt this."
"But he isn't as talented as you."
Li Ruolan's lips twitched. After that, she probed, "Did you discover some pattern?"
Li Ruolan didn't believe that Sun Mo would have such a clear understanding of the murals just based on his comprehension ability.
Sun Mo's lips curled into a smile. Just when Li Ruolan pricked up her ears, he spat out two words.
"Secret!"
"Annoying!"
Li Ruolan lifted her hand and hammered Sun Mo's arm.
Her strength wasn't great, but it felt like she was flirting.
"What do I have to do for you to say it?"
Li Ruolan was determined to get it.
"What do you think?"
Sun Mo wouldn't say it. After all, he wasn't familiar with her.
Seeing Sun Mo's gaze as though he was looking at an outsider, Li Ruolan felt a surge of anger in her heart. She subconsciously tiptoed and leaned over. After that, she kissed Sun Mo's cheek.
(Ah?)
Sun Mo was stunned.
"Is this gift big enough?"
After Li Ruolan fell silent for a while, she added, "You are the first man I've taken the initiative to kiss."
The female reporter was very natural and unrestrained. She smiled sweetly at Sun Mo.
(Look at my ultimate skill, Beauty's Gaze. Do you still have the heart to reject me?)
(But I won't lose out!)
(Sun Mo's looks are worth it!)
(Wait a minute, he wouldn't think that I'm a frivolous woman, right?)
All of a sudden, Li Ruolan felt some regret.
(Sigh.)
(This damnable impulse makes me unable to control myself!)
"Adulterous couple!"
A frustrated cultivator in the canyon felt so angry when he saw this scene. (If you want to flaunt your love, you should scram back home.)
(Do you know how great the harm such actions do to single dogs?)
When this cultivator saw Li Ruolan's curvaceous figure and beautiful face, he suddenly felt the urge to kill Sun Mo.
Looking at Li Ruolan's eyes, Sun Mo sighed ruefully. If this was in the modern era, why would a great beauty like her favor someone like him?
The bootlickers behind her could form an entire division, and he wouldn't even have a chance to show his face.
But in the Nine Provinces, he was someone above others.
All of a sudden, Sun Mo felt that it wasn't bad to be able to come to Middle-Earth.
"Forget it, I'm just teasing you. Such an important secret shouldn't be spoken of recklessly."
Li Ruolan was just teasing Sun Mo. She basically didn't expect Sun Mo to say it. After all, the value was too great. But at this moment, Sun Mo revealed it.
"It's spirit runes!"
"What?"
Li Ruolan was stunned, unable to react.
"Those sword marks formed many spirit runes."
Sun Mo didn't mind. He didn't believe that others would be able to decipher those murals. Even if they could, he wouldn't give them time.
At most, he would need a week to conquer those murals and obtain the Battlegod Catalog.
No one would complain about having too many peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts.
"This..."
Li Ruolan was completely shocked. Her mesmerizing lips formed an 'O' shape. "Why are they spirit runes?"
"Who knows?"
Sun Mo shrugged.
"It's too surprising!"
Li Ruolan clicked her tongue in wonder. The person who left behind the murals was known as the number one ancient Battle God. Everyone in the Nine Provinces thought that only people with extraordinary talent in combat would be able to comprehend those murals. But she didn't expect that it was related to spirit runes.
"How many people have been tricked by his murals?"
Li Ruolan knew that since ancient times, many people had stayed in the Battlegod Canyon for several years. There were even people who died of old age inside.
Now that she thought about it, wasn't such behavior very foolish?
"Sun Mo, you are too amazing."
After Li Ruolan's shock, she felt agitated. This was a great secret that had lasted for thousands of years. She actually knew about it?
Aiya.
She suddenly felt that she was a tier higher than others.
Li Ruolan couldn't help but hug Sun Mo and offer her red lips.
This time around, she kissed his red lips.
"Sun Mo, thank you for your generosity!"
Ding!
