Lu Zhiruo opened the door and Lu Lin walked in.
"Teacher!"
After Lu Lin greeted, he stood at the side with an uneasy look on his face.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo nodded. After that, he watched as the treasure chest opened and a book shining with green light appeared. It was so thick that it was comparable to two idiom dictionaries stacked together.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained the High-level Botany Knowledge Encyclopedia. Proficient, elementary-grade."
Sun Mo felt joy in his heart.
Oh huo, he had finally obtained this skill book.
In this case, his botany knowledge could be considered to have reached a higher level. He could truly open this class and teach others.
"Learn it!"
Sun Mo instructed.
"Sorry, unable to learn. Your prerequisite knowledge and proficiency level aren't high enough..."
The system reminded.
Sun Mo started and then came to a realization. If he wanted to learn high-level skill books, he had to raise the prerequisite knowledge to the grandmaster-grade.
However, to the current Sun Mo, this wasn't a problem at all.
For people with over 100,000 favorable impression points, he could buy any time emblem he wanted.
"Buy! Buy! Buy! "
As the time emblem shattered, light spots shot into Sun Mo's forehead. All sorts of knowledge appeared in his mind, deeply imprinting themselves on his neurons.
Ding!
"Congratulations, your intermediate-grade botany knowledge has been raised to the grandmaster-grade. Please continue to work hard."
The joy of spending money was truly irresistible.
It was a pity that grandmaster-grade was the limit. If he wanted to raise it further, he could only practice by himself.
Sun Mo cast Encyclopedic Knowledge on himself and learned the High-level Knowledge Encyclopedia. After that, he started to make good use of the time to memorize everything.
As the knowledge was too vast and complicated, Sun Mo only came back to his senses after two hours.
Lu Lin couldn't sit still and had an anxious look on his face. Lu Zhiruo sat cross-legged on the ground, flipping through a species encyclopedia.
She wanted to guard Sun Mo and prevent Lu Lin from causing trouble and harming her teacher.
"Lu Lin, young people have to temper themselves more and learn to keep their composure. Look at your appearance, the first impression you give others isn't too good."
Sun Mo lectured.
Humans were very subjective most of the time. If one's first impression wasn't good, they'd have to pay a huge price to change this impression in the future.
Why didn't the teachers of Westshore like Lu Lin?
It wasn't just because he was the weakest, but also because of his image.
He was too anxious, too anxious, too worried, and too flustered.
"Teacher, I know my mistake!"
Lu Lin's expression darkened. He didn't have many friends in school, and he had always thought that it was because he was ranked last. Now, it seemed that it had something to do with his personality.
"If you were my student, I would let you stand outside for three days to sharpen your mentality."
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo didn't like this Lu Lin.
Both of them were fools with low potential value. Qi Shengjia's simplicity was very likable. As for Lu Lin, he gave off an extremely utilitarian feeling.
Lu Lin was silent.
"Smile!"
Sun Mo lifted his cup and drank a mouthful of water.
"What?"
Lu Lin was surprised.
"Smile."
Sun Mo urged.
Lu Lin didn't understand, but he still grinned. However, his fake smile was even more unsightly.
"Regardless of whether it's training or studying, you must first relax your mind. You must enjoy it from the bottom of your heart and not treat it as a form of torture."
Sun Mo sighed. "Look at your bitter and vengeful look. If it wasn't for the great expectations of your elders, you would have given up long ago, right?"
Lu Lin was still silent. The joy of training?
He had long since forgotten that ever since he had entered the Westshore Military School with his aunt's help, he had been thinking about success even when he was asleep. He didn't want to be laughed at by others and lose the face of his clan.
"Every morning, smile three times in front of the bronze mirror for one minute each time. At the same time, tell yourself not to feel so much pressure."
Sun Mo was speechless when he saw Lu Zhiruo eavesdropping at the side and even jotting it down in her notebook. He stretched out his hand and rapped her head.
(Why are you so happy-go-lucky?)
"I've remembered it."
Lu Lin hurriedly bowed.
"No one likes to be together with people who are bitter and vengeful. It's because such people will emit a type of negative energy, causing the atmosphere to turn bad."
Sun Mo had never watched movies, music, or books with negative energy. It was also because it would cause one to feel depressed.
"Speak, what's the matter?"
"I want to ask Teacher to help me. How can I increase my strength?"
As Lu Lin spoke, he put on a mournful look. However, at the thought of Sun Mo's words, he quickly squeezed out a smile.
"Is it very painful to be beaten up by others?"
Sun Mo saw that Lu Lin's chin and left eye had swollen up a lot.
Lu Lin nodded. Actually, what he felt even more unbearable was the reality that he was' useless'. He wanted to fight back but couldn't win.
"What are you puzzled about?"
Sun Mo asked again.
"Why is it that I haven't improved at all after passing so many stages?"
Lu Lin didn't understand.
"First of all, the first four stages are mainly for you to deepen your understanding of combat. It's a type of mental view of the big picture and isn't of much help to improving your strength."
Sun Mo explained.
A bottom-feeder who had stayed in the canyon for less than five days wanted to win against a genius who had trained hard for several years? Was he dreaming?
"Actually, the reason why you can pass is because of my guidance."
Sun Mo didn't say the second half of his sentence. (You are just a person who copied answers, how much more do you want to improve?)
"Then... doesn't that mean that the Battlegod Canyon is meaningless to me?"
Lu Lin had a look of despair on his face.
"Yes, only those at the seventh or eighth level of the divine force realm would be able to gain anything."
Sun Mo spoke bluntly.
No matter how low one's cultivation base was, it would just be a waste of time. After all, the ancient Battle God also didn't wish for his ultimate art to be learned by random people. Hence, he had to set a threshold.
"..."
Lu Lin was completely stunned. He was still hoping to rely on the Battlegod Canyon to rise up.
"Your thoughts should be placed on your daily cultivation."
Sun Mo reminded him.
"I'm already working very hard!"
Lu Lin felt aggrieved. The time he spent cultivating every day wasn't short.
"Your cultivation method, who gave it to you?"
Sun Mo asked.
"This..."
Lu Lin felt conflicted because the cultivation art he cultivated was extremely rare. It was something his aunt had unearthed from a set of bells in a darkness ruin 30 years ago.
His aunt had warned him not to tell anyone.
Because this cultivation art might be an inferior-grade saint-tier one. It was too precious.
But now...
Lu Lin felt that Sun Mo was someone he could trust. Moreover, Sun Mo had already helped him before. "I'm cultivating the Hun..."
However, before Lu Lin finished speaking, Sun Mo interrupted.
"It's the Mixed Origin One Sword Art, right?"
"Ah?"
Lu Lin was stunned. He stared at Sun Mo, dumbfounded. "You... how did you know?"
(That shouldn't be the case!)
His aunt's knowledge was erudite. In the entire Westshore Military School, she was ranked in the top three. She was in charge of archaeological work.
"Is it very strange that my teacher knows a cultivation art?"
Lu Zhiruo was a fangirl and felt that there was nothing Sun Mo couldn't do.
"No, that's not what I mean!"
Lu Lin had no way to explain in detail.
"Did the person who gave you this cultivation art tell you how to cultivate it?"
Sun Mo could tell that there were secrets to this cultivation art. Hence, he didn't ask many related topics to avoid making things difficult for Lu Lin.
"I've said it before. Let my sword be like the wind and the faster I attack, the better. It's like ten thousand swords are like one sword, killing my enemies formlessly."
Lu Lin didn't hide anything.
"You have an expert guiding you. Why are you still asking me?"
Sun Mo was speechless. "Can't you just follow what this person says?"
"But I've cultivated for so many years, but I haven't improved at all."
Lu Lin felt depressed.
Sun Mo wanted to say that his aptitude was too bad, but these words were too hurtful. Hence, he activated Divine Sight and continued to observe.
After that, he discovered a problem.
"Did he teach you a meditation art that can increase your spirit qi reserves?"
Sun Mo asked.
"Yes!"
Lu Lin nodded.
"Did you not cultivate it?"
Sun Mo frowned. Very good, he found the symptoms.
"I did!"
Lu Lin's voice became softer because he had been slacking off for a long time. After all, meditation was too boring.
"This cultivation art requires extremely dense spirit qi to unleash its great prowess. Your aptitude isn't good to begin with, and your spirit qi reserves are lesser compared to cultivators of the same level. That great teacher found a powerful meditation art to make up for it, but you still didn't cultivate it?"
Sun Mo felt helpless.
If a student didn't cultivate according to the guidance, so what if the great teacher was even more powerful?
"Ah? So this is the reason? "
Lu Lin was astonished. "Then what should I do?"
"Don't go to the canyon to comprehend and don't cultivate. Instead, use all your time to meditate and raise your spirit qi."
Sun Mo stood up. "Go for a while. I'll help you open up your energy channels."
"Many thanks, Teacher!"
Lu Lin knelt and kowtowed three times. After that, he lay down on the blanket.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Lu Lin + 500. Reverence (5,600/10000).
This made Sun Mo feel a lot more consoled. At the very least, Lu Lin knew how to be grateful.
"Also, when you execute this cultivation art, you need a calm state of mind. If you are too impulsive, the prowess of your sword moves will be greatly reduced."
The Mixed Origin One Sword Art sought to kill the enemy with a single sword. If one didn't have a calm state of mind, how could they achieve that?
Two hours later, Lu Lin came out from the Central Province Academy's campsite. He felt very comfortable, and his sensitivity toward spirit qi had also increased.
"Should I meditate more?"
Lu Lin glanced at the Battlegod Canyon, feeling a little conflicted. What if Great Teacher Fu asked him? After all, the purpose of this tempering exercise was to comprehend the murals.
"Forget it, I'll listen to Teacher Sun."
Lu Lin decided that he would come out every day and find a secluded place to make the best use of his time to meditate. He didn't hope to increase his strength by much, but at the very least, his ranking at the end of the tempering exercise wouldn't be too bad.
...
During the next few days, more and more people came to Battlegod Town.
As for Sun Mo, he didn't care about what was happening outside and focused on deciphering the spirit runes.
This wait lasted for a week.
Gradually, voices rang out, saying that Sun Mo couldn't make it anymore and his intelligence had been exhausted. After all, how could it be so easy to comprehend the Battlegod Catalog?
The teachers and students of the Westshore Military School became arrogant again because Fu Yanqing was an absolute genius who had passed the fifth part of the canyon. Some people tried to provoke him, wanting to obtain the true meaning of the murals. Sadly, Fu Yanqing kept his mouth shut.
"Teacher, when will you clear the stage?"
Even Zhang Yaozong and the others felt a little anxious. When they were eating, they couldn't help but ask.
"How about tomorrow?"
Sun Mo's voice drifted over along with the night wind.
