Most people's names were given by their parents and elders. They couldn't decide for themselves, so it didn't mean anything. However, nicknames were usually given based on a person's style of doing things.
That's why there's a saying that there's a wrong name, but there's no such thing as a wrong nickname.
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, there were only a few people with superb sword skills.
Yue Ba was called Tyrant Blade, not because his name contained the word 'Tyrant', but because he was tyrannical, fierce, and would start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
His famous saying was, "If you can use a knife to solve a problem, don't use other methods to solve it."
"Yue Changdao learned martial arts from Yue Ba since he was young. Not only is his blade technique outstanding, but he has also learned most of Yue Ba's personality. Ten years ago, when he first came to the Battlegod Canyon, he caused a bloodbath."
Bai Cha sighed. "Don't underestimate him. He is truly strong."
Sun Mo's lips twitched. How could they not be strong? Those who relied on their intelligence to enter the sixth part of the canyon were all dragons and phoenixes among men.
However, Sun Mo didn't plan on giving up just like that.
"Sun Mo, listen to my advice and take your time to think things through."
Bai Cha persuaded earnestly, "It's said that back then, Yue Changdao had offended many enemies because he was too reckless and cruel. He could no longer stay in the Nine Provinces and thus came to the Darkness Continent."
"I understand."
Sun Mo finished his coffee in a single gulp and stood up to return to the camp.
For the next two days, Sun Mo didn't exit his seclusion because he was considering the true meaning of this stage. However, in the eyes of some people, Sun Mo was afraid.
After all, Bai Cha didn't keep it a secret and revealed the matter of Yue Changdao expelling Sun Mo. This could be considered as helping Sun Mo build up some reputation.
Right now, Sun Mo's battle achievements were brilliant. Although he had quite a lot of fans, there were also quite a lot of people who hated him. If he failed, there would surely be people who would take the chance to mock him and make sarcastic remarks.
Bai Cha felt that Sun Mo might as well retreat temporarily and come back to clear the stage after this storm was over.
In any case, his current results were already outstanding enough.
On the third day, the sun was high up in the sky.
The White Tea Shop was already packed with people early in the morning.
Everyone knew that Sun Mo loved to drink this strange white tea. Hence, since they had nothing to do, they would come here to drink a cup. If they were to encounter Sun Mo, they might be able to find out some information.
Even if he didn't gain anything, it was also good to take a look at Sun Mo.
In any case, when he went back to brag, he couldn't possibly not be able to describe Sun Mo's appearance, right?
"Are there no more seats?"
A young man frowned and looked at the three empty seats. "What are those? Don't tell me I have to raise the price to get a seat! "
The young man's tone was unfriendly.
Unscrupulous merchants were truly everywhere. If it wasn't for the fact that Sun Mo liked to drink white tea, this daddy wouldn't have come here. Just the smell alone made him feel disgusted.
"Oh, those three seats have been reserved by the ladies."
Bai Cha explained with a smile.
These were all young ladies who came to the Battlegod Town to earn some extra money. When they chased after their idols, they were much more daring than these men.
Look at you. You came here and ordered the cheapest cup of white tea, and you dare to sit here for an entire day? How much of a hindrance to my business? As for those young ladies, they directly reserved the seats for a month.
His only request was that when Sun Mo came, he had to let me inform him.
"There's no one here anyway. Let's sit here for a while. We'll leave when the reserved seats arrive."
The young man's wallet was not bulging and he was not rich, so he naturally did not have the confidence to speak.
"Sorry, I am an honest businessman."
Bai Cha shook his head.
"Yes, a smart businessman. Who would sell such a thing?"
Sun Mo smiled and teased.
"Great Teacher Sun, you have come?"
"Boss Bai, serve the tea, the best tea!"
"Great Teacher Sun, there's an empty seat here. I've reserved it for you."
The moment Sun Mo entered the shop, those customers who were already here all stood up excitedly. They had humble yet polite expressions as they greeted Sun Mo.
Sun Mo glanced around and returned a sociable smile.
(Sigh, it's not good to be too famous. It's too troublesome to socialize.)
(Should I pretend to be aloof?)
It was said that this style was trending recently and attracted young ladies who were young and inexperienced.
"Just drink your tea!"
Bai Cha smiled and scolded.
Because they had similar interests and they got along well, Bai Cha had long since treated Sun Mo as a friend and would reserve a seat for him every day.
"Same old!"
Sun Mo sat down and started to wait. Today, he was going to kill that Yue Changdao.
When the surrounding customers saw Sun Mo in contemplation, their voices became much softer.
However, not long later, a voice that spoiled the mood rang out.
"You are Sun Mo?"
A young man dressed in green stood before Sun Mo with a smile on his face as he surveyed Sun Mo.
Because his appearance was too feminine, in addition to this smile, it caused him to appear very frivolous. However, his martial skills should be relatively high.
Because Sun Mo noticed that his right hand was playing with a dagger. The dagger danced between his fingers, looking very gorgeous and good-looking.
Sun Mo didn't pay him any heed. It was purely because this fellow reminded him of a bad memory from his school days. There was a male student in his class who used the excuse of teaching girls how to spin their pens just because he looked good and managed to get three girlfriends.
"Oi, how can you speak to Great Teacher Sun like this?"
A customer immediately jumped up when he saw that there was finally a chance to do Sun Mo a favor. However, after he finished speaking, his vision blurred.
Swoosh!
A silver-white blade shadow flashed by. After that, he felt a pain in his ear. He subconsciously touched it and realized that his hand was covered in blood. His ear was gone as well.
Si ~
Everyone drew in a cold gasp. It was unknown what mechanism that dagger had. After shooting off that unlucky guy's ear, it circled one round and returned to the young man's hand.
A few people who wanted to say something immediately shut their mouths tightly when they saw this scene.
This young man did have some skills!
The young man didn't mind it at all. It was as if he had just stepped on a cockroach. From the start to the end, he didn't reply. He looked at Sun Mo and said, "I'm Gu Yun. I heard of Great Teacher Sun's achievements and am eager to hunt. I'm willing to seek guidance from you."
Sun Mo drank his tea.
"Why? You don't dare to? "
Gu Yun provoked.
"If I accept any random random person's challenge, would I still have a private life?"
Sun Mo rolled his eyes and impatiently waved his hand. "I'll have to trouble you to become famous first before coming back."
Since the other party's attitude was provocative, Sun Mo wouldn't be polite then.
Gu Yun's expression stiffened, feeling that he was being looked down on. He wanted to make a move directly, but even if it was a sneak attack, it wouldn't be glorious even if he won.
However, even if he didn't fight today, he could still teach this great teacher a lesson and make him stumble.
As Sun Mo drank his tea, he activated Divine Sight without anyone noticing.
Gu Yun. Seventh level of the divine force realm.
Proficient in using daggers, poison, and assassination techniques.
Strength 37. Lifting something heavy as though it were light.
Intellect 36. Sinister personality, proficient in scheming against others.
Agility 39. Close to max value. Excellent movement technique. You must pay attention to it.
Will 38. Ever since he started out, he has never tasted defeat. Currently, he is in high spirits.
Endurance 38. Don't think of exhausting him to death.
...
Potential value: Extremely high.
Note: A member of Dark Dawn, a brilliant disciple of the Dark Starlord, a star general candidate.
Warning, warning, this person is an expert in using poison.
Upon seeing the star general candidate, Sun Mo's brows twitched slightly. This should be a core member of Dark Dawn, right? When he saw a poison expert, he subconsciously glanced at the cup in his hand.
"The main ingredient is caffeine. Datura nectar has been added. Note: Extremely harmful."
Sun Mo immediately grew unhappy.
This Gu Yun was so ruthless.
Although the Datura nectar had the word 'honey' in its name, it actually didn't have much to do with flower nectar. Rather, it was the juice of a type of poisonous vines. It had an extremely strong hallucinogenic effect.
After drinking it, one would enter a state of excitement and do unimaginable things. For example, running around naked or eating feces as if they were delicacies...
This Gu Yun was filled with bad taste.
If Sun Mo lost his composure, the reputation he had painstakingly built up would be completely ruined.
"Haha, I didn't expect Great Teacher Sun to be such a coward. How disappointing."
Gu Yun shook his head. After that, he glanced at the surroundings. "Who is so bored? Why don't you fight me? A life-and-death battle."
No one replied.
Gu Yun shrugged. He took out a bag and tossed it on the table.
Boom!
The bag opened, revealing the spirit diamonds inside.
Wow!
Everyone exclaimed in shock as their eyes widened.
These were spirit diamonds. Although it was only a small bag, their value was extremely high.
"Whoever kills me, this bag of spirit diamonds and this peerless-grade spirit dagger will belong to him!"
Gu Yun had a ferocious expression like a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of a tiger.
After all, there weren't many cultivators who could come to the Darkness Continent who were easy to deal with.
"Let me do it!"
A middle-aged man walked out.
"Gu Yun, if you drink this cup of tea, I will fight against you!"
Sun Mo interrupted and pushed the teacup in his hand toward Gu Yun.
Gu Yun's expression changed.
"It can't be, right? Sun Mo discovered that I tampered with it? That shouldn't be the case. My method of poisoning is very secretive. "
Gu Yun glanced at Sun Mo and discovered that Sun Mo was smiling and had a composed expression. However, the more Sun Mo was like this, the more uncomfortable Gu Yun felt.
(If there's no reason, why did he want me to drink tea?)
"No, he is only finding an excuse to accept the challenge. Hmph, as expected, wealth moves people's hearts!"
Gu Yun coldly snorted. (I want to drink tea? What is there to be afraid of?)
(I have the antidote.)
But at this moment, Sun Mo spoke.
"Strictly speaking, datura honey can't be considered poison. In fact, if it's used in the right place, it can even be considered a good medicine. Hence, the antidote in your hands can't completely remove the hallucinogenic effect."
Sun Mo commented.
Gu Yun was shocked. His right hand that was holding the teacup trembled.
Swish!
Tea spilled out.
"If you want to challenge me, then so be it. Why did you poison me?"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. "If I fight you after drinking this cup of tea, can that be considered a fair battle?"
"What? This brat poisoned me? "
"Look at his expression. Great Teacher Sun is definitely not wrong."
"The tea is here. Won't he know after drinking it?"
The customers all had indignant looks on their faces. Everyone hated such despicable tricks the most. This was especially so for the person who poisoned them.
This was also the reason why the system didn't recommend Sun Mo to become a poison master.
"Everyone, his method of poisoning is very profound. You guys have to be careful!"
Sun Mo reminded. He then looked at Bai Cha. "Boss, change a batch of tea sets. If not, if someone is poisoned, you'd be in trouble."
Hua!
After Sun Mo said this, everyone was greatly shocked. They subconsciously stood up and distanced themselves from the teacups. Those who had already drunk the tea hurriedly stuck their fingers into their throats, wanting to spit it out.
"Sun Mo, you plotted against me?"
Gu Yun's expression was unsightly because everyone's gazes were filled with wariness and anger when they looked at him.
