Wan Kangcheng attacked in anger. Although he didn't use any ultimate skills, his cultivation realm far surpassed Sun Mo's. Just an ordinary palm strike was like lightning descending, wanting to tear Sun Mo into pieces.
"F * ck!"
Sun Mo was shocked. He didn't expect Wan Kangcheng to kill someone. However, he didn't panic. Instead, anger and resistance rose in his heart.
(Even if I can't beat you to death, I'll bite off a piece of your flesh.)
When Sun Mo was playing games, he wouldn't admit defeat even if he was chased by a strong account. Instead, he would think of all ways to retaliate.
The Starflash Pearl was activated.
Swoosh!
Sun Mo teleported behind Wan Kangcheng. His left hand punched out with the Dharma Fist while his right hand attacked with the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art.
(I mustn't cower. I must fight!)
Wan Kangcheng's expression didn't change even after he lost sight of Sun Mo. He let out a cold snort and slapped out with the back of his hand. However, he had already held back with this attack.
As an 8-star great teacher, Wan Kangcheng wasn't a fool. He reacted the instant he attacked. How would Sun Mo have the guts to hurt Teacher Shi?
He must be thinking of using some dark secret art to curry favor with Teacher Shi and do him a great favor.
Wan Kangcheng attacked because he was angry that Sun Mo overestimated himself. A trashy school actually wanted to headhunt a teacher.
The reason why he held back now was firstly because he cherished his reputation and didn't want others to think that he was bullying the weak. Secondly, a person like Teacher Shi was very soft-hearted and had righteous ideas. If he hurt Sun Mo, Teacher Shi would feel guilty and apologize on his behalf.
In that case, there would be no turning back for him to go to the Central Province Academy.
"Sigh!"
Wan Kangcheng sighed and prepared to use this attack to force Sun Mo to retreat. However, who knew that a beam of light would instantly hit the back of his waist.
(What?)
So fast?
Wan Kangcheng was badly shocked. The spirit qi on his body erupted and his teacher robes fluttered without wind.
Bang!
The robes were torn and scattered in all directions.
The beam of light that could have pierced through Wan Kangcheng hit his flesh. Other than leaving a palm-sized bruise, there were no other injuries.
As for the Dharma Fist, Sun Mo retracted it midway because he didn't have the chance to do so.
This was the absolute suppression in terms of cultivation realm.
"Great Teacher Wan, are you bullying the weak?"
Jin Mujie let out a loud bellow. She was like a whirlwind and dashed toward Sun Mo, facing Wan Kangcheng directly.
"Get out of my way!"
Sun Mo wanted to push Jin Mujie away. He didn't have the habit of letting a woman protect him. However, at this moment, Jin Mujie didn't move at all. She was like a female leopard that had gone mad, glaring at Wan Kangcheng in anger.
She was shocked and furious at the same time. She was almost scared to death.
If it wasn't for Sun Mo's reaction being fast enough, he would have been slapped to death earlier.
If he died, how was he going to explain it to Xinhui!
"Hmph!"
Wan Kangcheng's expression turned grim. Putting aside the fact that his teacher robe was torn, his waist had also suffered a blow.
This was a small injury that didn't even need to be recuperated. But to be beaten into such a sorry state by a low-level junior was a kind of humiliation in itself.
"You know quite a few top-grade divine arts!"
Wan Kangcheng sneered. This could also be considered a way to defend himself. He emphasized that it was because Sun Mo's cultivation art was too good that he managed to hit him.
"Kang Cheng, you've become more arrogant now that your star rank has risen?"
Shi Sheng opened his mouth and berated, "What? You don't even have the courage to admit that others are stronger than you? "
Wan Kangcheng had a gloomy look on his face. He hurriedly cupped his fists, lowered his head, and apologized, "I dare not!"
"I'm not the one you should apologize to!"
Shi Sheng shook his head.
Wan Kangcheng pursed his lips. In the end, he didn't apologize to Sun Mo.
(What a joke. Is this guy worthy?
I'm already being extremely benevolent by holding back earlier. If not, he would have died by now.
(Also, Teacher, I'm doing this for you!)
At the thought of this, Wan Kangcheng felt a hint of resentment toward Shi Sheng. (I clearly have good intentions, but why do I have to suffer such treatment?)
"You can leave. Tell the headmaster that I'm preparing to spend my remaining years in the Central Province Academy peacefully."
Shi Sheng waved his hand.
Wan Kangcheng was conflicted for a few seconds before he suddenly bowed. "Then I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Wan Kangcheng turned and left.
To speak the truth, after Wan Kangcheng felt touched when they first met, a hint of contempt rose in his heart when he saw that Shi Sheng was still an 8-star great teacher and hadn't improved at all even after over 100 years.
(A dog that bites Lu Dongbin doesn't know how to appreciate kindness!)
(Since he isn't willing to come back, there's no need for him to come back.)
(He's just an 8-star great teacher. I'm the same, alright?)
(Whatever you can do, I can do it too.)
The higher the star-level of a great teacher, the more confident they would be. This was especially so for 8-star great teachers. They were the successful ones among the successful ones. Wan Kangcheng had reached this level within 200 years and was even working in the Black-White Academy. Such a resume was enough to make countless great teachers envious.
Shi Sheng revealed a bitter smile. However, he had long since gotten over such things.
Being inferior to others was the original sin.
Whether a great teacher was strong or not didn't depend on their background or their star-level. It depended on their strength and whether they could nurture impressive students.
"Teacher Shi, pardon me for being direct. Your current state of mind isn't right."
Sun Mo frowned.
"Hehe, I appreciate your good intentions."
Shi Sheng knew that Sun Mo wanted to console him, but he really couldn't adjust himself. One must know that he hadn't gained anything for over 100 years and was even looked down upon by his disciple. Such a blow was too great.
"Teacher Shi, I feel that losing once isn't scary. What's scary is admitting defeat directly and not being able to strive to be the first."
Sun Mo's tone was solemn.
"Yes, you're old and might not have much time left, but so what?"
When Jin Mujie heard this, she felt a toothache. (Sun Mo, you really dare to say this.)
"An old steed in the stable, aspiring to move a thousand miles. A martyr in his twilight years, but his lofty aspirations are boundless. I feel that a person should live until old, fight until old, and never stop until death."
Sun Mo's tone was sincere.
Hearing these two lines of the poem, Shi Sheng's body trembled. Jin Mujie's gaze was bewildered. Wan Kangcheng, who was about to go down the mountain, couldn't help but turn his head and look at Sun Mo.
Well said!
"What is death? Is it a heart that stops beating? No, I feel that when a person stops in his footsteps and no longer works hard to climb, muddling through life, he would already be dead. "
When Sun Mo was a student, he had worked hard for a few years before he got the chance to work in a key middle school.
He came from an ordinary family and didn't have parents. Hence, he could only work hard by himself!
"You want to spend the rest of your life in the Central Province Academy? Pardon me for being direct, but with your mentality, it's best not to come here and mislead the students. "
Swoosh!
Golden light radiated from Sun Mo's body. Then, light spots splattered.
"Sun Mo!"
Jin Mujie had wanted to remind Sun Mo to mind his words. Even if they managed to recruit an 8-star great teacher who was about to die, it would still be a great improvement to the school. However, she wasn't able to continue saying this because Priceless Advice had activated.
"I feel that no matter how old a person is, as long as they are alive and work hard, there'll be hope. Even if it's just one step, they'll be able to get closer to their dreams."
Sun Mo spoke frankly with assurance.
Were many people defeated by their opponents in terms of learning or work?
No!
They were defeated by themselves.
Bathed in the golden light, Shi Sheng's heart trembled intensely.
Sun Mo's words were really well said!
"I've long decided that when my life ends, I'll end it with a single victory. What about you? You're the loser!"
Sun Mo asked.
"Haha!"
Shi Sheng laughed loudly. After that, he clasped his hands together and bowed toward Sun Mo.
"Many thanks for Teacher Sun's Priceless Advice. I've benefited from it!"
Shi Sheng felt heartfelt gratitude because the ambition in his heart that had long been extinguished by reality had been reignited.
(That's right!
I can't end my life with a single failure. I don't have students all over the world yet. What do you mean by old and useless? What do you mean by wasting 100 years?
It's fine!
As long as I work hard, it won't be too late!
Shi Sheng, who had thought things through, became spirited again. He started to summarize his gains and losses over the past 100 years. The scenes of the past flowed through his mind.
Suddenly!
Boom!
Shi Sheng's body glowed brightly. He was like the source of a tempest, stirring up the spirit qi in the surroundings.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The spirit qi surged wildly, bending the grass on the ground and causing the leaves on the branches to fall. However, Shi Sheng's countenance was calm.
Kacha! Kacha!
Thunder suddenly rang out in the clear sky, occasionally striking toward the mountain peak.
A short moment later, many lotuses formed from spirit qi bloomed in the surroundings.
"What the hell?"
Sun Mo frowned. Was Shi Sheng leveling up? It seemed that the cultivation art he cultivated was quite impressive. He then gave Jin Mujie an inquiring gaze.
(Should we avoid it?
What if we're accidentally injured by the shockwaves?)
When a major character like him leveled up, the momentum would surely be very terrifying.
Jin Mujie ignored Sun Mo. She looked at Shi Sheng with a scorching gaze, completely dumbfounded.
(This... this... can it be that he has leveled up to a secondary saint?)
All of a sudden, a strange fragrance started to waft in the air. When one smelled it, they would instantly feel refreshed and their minds clear. There was a strong sense of confidence that no difficult problem would be able to stump them.
"Secondary... secondary saint?"
Wan Kangcheng was stunned as well.
(Why did Teacher Shi suddenly start to comprehend?)
(Wait a minute, Sun Mo's words should be an opportunity...)
In an instant, complicated emotions surged in Wan Kangcheng's heart. He was envious and happy for Teacher Shi, but he was also jealous.
It was because there was no longer a star-level examination for leveling up to a secondary saint, and no one was qualified to be the main examiner.
There was only one condition for one to become a 9-star great teacher, which was to be a secondary saint. It was to be able to listen to holy words.
The so-called holy words were the words of the heavens.
It was said that secondary saints could hear the earnest teachings and pointers transmitted from the unseen world. They could even comprehend peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts out of thin air...
A secondary saint was a great teacher of another realm.
Not long later, the lightning dissipated. However, the lotuses condensed from spirit qi essence were still present in the surroundings of the mountain peak, spinning around. There were also some birds condensed from spirit qi that circled around Shi Sheng, chirping.
Although the fragrance in the air was a lot fainter, it didn't dissipate even after a long time, leaving one with endless aftertastes.
"Body... body has a strange fragrance, spirit qi turning into lotuses, purifying impurities, turning into birds, singing to calm one's heart. This... this is the sign of a secondary saint?"
Jin Mujie's body started to tremble uncontrollably.
This was agitation!
She could personally witness the birth of a secondary saint. This... what an honor this was!
However, Shi Sheng didn't show any signs of surprise. Even his face was as calm as an ancient well. After he tidied up his clothes, he walked up to Sun Mo and bowed solemnly.
"Many thanks for Teacher Sun's wise advice, allowing me to become a secondary saint in one day!"
