Swoosh!
Everyone's gazes immediately turned over.
"Teacher Jiang, don't mess around. If you want to compete, let's do it in the examination."
Tong Yiming persuaded.
Jiang Ji was someone with an extremely strong competitive spirit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to participate in the 3-star great teacher examination because of Sun Mo. Hence, he wasn't joking when he said this.
If Sun Mo dared to accept, he would beat him until the sh * t came out.
From Tong Yiming's point of view, it was a good thing for young people to be competitive. Because the more they were like this, the more motivation they would have to improve.
If one became a Buddhist at the age of 20 and wanted nothing more than to eat and wait for death, then there was no need for him to be a great teacher.
Sun Mo shrugged.
"Teacher Sun, accept the challenge. Smash his head and you'll be the top ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings."
Liu Zongyuan laughed and fanned the flames.
In any case, no matter who lost, or even if they were crippled, they would be the ones to benefit.
"I've been a vegetarian recently and don't wish to be rough."
Sun Mo mentally mused. (There's no benefit at all. What's the point of fighting? What if I get injured? What if it affects my chances of becoming the top ranker?)
"Vegetarian?"
Liu Zongyuan shook his head. "Tsk tsk, eating meat is a man's romance. If you have time at night, let's go to the brothel together. I'll treat you. Don't worry, I've earned some money recently. So, you can go ahead and have fun.
"Your way of eating meat seems to be different from what I know!"
A middle-aged man at the side scratched his bald head and laughed evilly.
"As a great teacher, how can you say such filthy things?"
Tong Yiming berated.
Such words could be said in private between good friends. After all, no one was a saint, and it was normal for men and women to fall in love. However, it was a disgrace to say it in public.
Sun Mo had long since gotten used to it. The Nine Provinces were comparable to the ancient times. It was common for good friends to send their concubines to their friends when they traveled far.
Su Shi had done something like this before.
"If there are no objections, just disperse!"
Tong Yiming had a good impression of Sun Mo and wanted to treat him to a meal. However, as Sun Mo's fame grew, he felt embarrassed to do so.
After all, doing so would cause others to misunderstand that he was coveting Sun Mo's God Hands.
Everyone bowed and bade farewell.
"Teacher Sun!"
Liu Zongyuan quickened his steps and caught up to Sun Mo. He teased, "Don't be angry when Jiang Ji challenges you. After all, he is a little ugly. It's understandable!"
In terms of talent, the two of them weren't inferior to each other. No, Sun Mo was becoming more and more prosperous with each passing day. In terms of appearance and physique, Sun Mo had a complete victory.
It would be strange if Jiang Ji was happy.
Even the most open-minded person cared a lot about their appearance.
"I don't think he's ugly. On the contrary, I think it's the sign of someone capable of great things."
Sun Mo's tone was filled with an unapproachable feeling.
Don't be fooled by the fact that you have the same name as the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan. I won't revere you, and he didn't like the frivolous attitude of the other party.
Jiang Ji, who was walking in front, was originally unhappy when he heard Liu Zongyuan's words, but Sun Mo's last sentence caused him to be stunned and he couldn't help but turn his head.
Is this for real?
Are you complimenting me?
But after thinking about it carefully, that shouldn't be the case. Sun Mo's fame was also very great. There was no need for him to curry favor with her!
Doesn't that mean I'm narrow-minded?
At the thought of this, Jiang Ji suddenly felt a little ashamed.
(In the future, I must pay attention to my attitude and not lose my temper recklessly.)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jiang Ji + 50. Prestige connection unlocked. Neutral (50/100).
After hearing the system notification, Sun Mo was speechless and looked toward Jiang Ji.
(How confident are you?) He didn't believe that Jiang Ji hadn't heard of his achievements. But this fellow hadn't contributed any favorable impression points in the past.
But why was it now?
Noticing Sun Mo's gaze, Jiang Ji clasped his fists and left quickly.
"Teacher Sun, do you want to go to the brothel tonight?"
Liu Zongyuan invited again.
"Many thanks for Teacher Liu's kind intentions, but I have to prepare for my lesson."
Sun Mo rejected.
Everyone walked out of the auditorium.
Liu Zongyuan wanted to invite again, but he saw a beautiful girl with long black hair waving at Sun Mo.
"Hehe, no wonder Teacher Sun isn't willing to go to the brothel to experience the charm of the courtesan. So, you already have such a beauty by your side. I was rude."
As Liu Zongyuan spoke, he tried to strike up a conversation with Mei Ziyu. "I wonder how I should address this great teacher?"
Mei Ziyu nodded at Liu Zongyuan but didn't reply. The meaning of her rejection was clear.
If it wasn't for the good upbringing of her great clan, telling her to be a lady from a wealthy family, she wouldn't even want to bother with this frivolous fellow.
"Farewell."
After saying that, Sun Mo grabbed Mei Ziyu's hand and left quickly.
At the sight of this scene, Liu Zongyuan's eyes narrowed.
"Hmph, Sun Mo, you don't care about the current me. But in the future, you'll definitely not be able to reach out to me."
Sun Mo didn't even want to go to the brothel even though he was paying out of his own pocket. Liu Zongyuan felt that Sun Mo was too lofty.
...
The next morning, after everyone gathered, they took their horses and headed toward the Dragon Subduing Academy.
This famous school was located 20 li north of Ulan City in the northern plains.
This city, when translated into the language of the Central Plains, meant the most beautiful pearl. It was also the sacred ground of the various tribes in the north. The most majestic and beautiful royal palace was also here.
The leader of every tribe yearned to become the Great Chanyu and stay in this royal palace.
Five days later, the group of examinees entered the plains.
As it was already late autumn, the vegetation was a little withered and the scenery was a little bleak. The herdsmen were also herding their cows and sheep, making good use of the time to put on the last layer of autumn fat before the arrival of winter.
"In the eyes of everyone, the Nine Greats are the nine strongest famous schools in Middle-Earth Nine Provinces. Being able to enter any one of them is something to be proud of. But in truth, there's another division among the Nine Greats."
Mei Ziyu rode on a warhorse and followed beside Sun Mo, explaining to him.
"Tell me about it!"
Sun Mo didn't know much about these things.
"Liang Province's Jixia Learning Palace, Summer Province's Westshore Military School, Serene Province's Black-White Academy, Yuezhou Province's White Deer Academy, Nanyue's Myriad Spirits Academy, and Sea Province's Sea Deity Palace are known as the Six Greats. Each of them has a domain they specialize in.
"Among them, the Westshore Military School is the best at fighting and is especially proficient in battle formations. Many military gods in history came from this famous school. The Myriad Spirits Academy has unique research on plants, insects, and beasts, as well as the art of witchcraft and poison. As for the White Deer Academy, as its name suggests, it once collected the most ancient books and records under the heavens. If there are books that the White Deer Academy doesn't have, then the other academies wouldn't be able to find them."
"The Sea Deity Palace is the most proficient in the development of the ocean. They have never been interested in fighting for supremacy on land, but if anyone dares to extend their hands into the ocean, they'll fight to the death.
"The Black-White Academy isn't proficient in anything, but they're good at everything. They're also the ones who squeezed out the Central Province Academy and became one of the new Nine Greats."
As Mei Ziyu was from the Jixia Learning Palace, she was very familiar with these things.
Sun Mo was mesmerized as he listened.
"If we go further up, it would be the Three Greats that even these six famous schools acknowledge. Among them, the Heavenly Mystery Academy of Cloud Province is the school that Elder Sister An Xinhui graduated from.
"This school specializes in astronomy, geography, astrology, divination, and deduction. They're very mysterious all day long. They claim that they don't care about the secular world, but it's said that the changes of the dynasties in the nine provinces all have their shadows playing tricks behind the scenes.
"If there's a school that no one wants to face, it would be the Heavenly Mystery Academy.
"The Skyraise Academy is the number one school in the nine provinces. This school has been established for the longest time, and its history is even longer than some dynasties. It's also because of this school that the Great Zhou Dynasty has continued to prosper, becoming the strongest empire in the nine provinces.
"All the great teachers in the world have the lifelong goal of working in the Skyraise Academy. All the children in the world feel proud to be able to study in the Skyraise Academy!"
Even the people from the west knew of the Skyraise Academy's existence. Some great teachers from the west traveled great distances to study there. From this, one could tell how influential this school was.
For students from such a school, as long as they didn't court death, they would definitely have great achievements and be worthy of the title of a winner in life.
"Lastly, there's the Dragon Subduing Academy. As it gathers the elite descendants of all the tribes in the north, in addition to the support of the royal family, the competitiveness of this school is extremely strong.
"It's precisely because of the existence of this school that the tribes in the north no longer fight each other. If anything happens, they would try their best to resolve it through negotiation. That's why there's a standoff between the north and the south. Otherwise, these northern tribes would have long been wiped out by the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Mei Ziyu was very familiar with these political matters. "The ultimate treasure of this school is called the Dragon Subduing Palace. It's a formation formed by 18 dragon-capturing pillars. It's said that there's a huge ancient dragon suppressed inside, but it's unknown whether it's true or not."
"What does this school specialize in?"
Sun Mo frowned slightly. "They shouldn't be interested in the study of spirit runes, right?"
"The Dragon Subduing Academy has great achievements in the areas of beast taming, pet rearing, and medicinal herbs. There's the largest Precious Beast Garden in the nine provinces here. You can go and take a look when the time comes."
Mei Ziyu's mentality was still very open-minded. She didn't have any thoughts of discriminating against the barbarians.
"Subdued beasts..."
Sun Mo felt conflicted.
Every examinee had to teach two subjects.
Sun Mo's beast taming art was at the grandmaster-grade, but he had never used it before. If he didn't use it properly, he might end up displaying his slight skill before an expert. However, if he were to teach the study of spirit runes, there probably wouldn't be many people who would learn it.
As for medicinal herbs, Sun Mo was still not proficient in it.
Wait a minute, which subject to teach would depend on the choices of his competitors. To speak the truth, Sun Mo wanted to teach the same subject as Jiang Ji.
"Oh right, what's the ultimate divine art of the Dragon Subduing Academy?"
Sun Mo thought of another matter. "I heard that this divine art has a mystical origin?"
" ."
Mei Ziyu smiled. "That's right. It's said that the founder of this academy was originally a lowly worker. In the end, when he went out to purchase things, he spent a few copper coins at a stall and bought a damaged wooden sculpture. In the end, he summoned a huge ancient dragon and obtained the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture.
"Therefore, this worker rose up one after another. Within 20 years, he became the most dazzling great teacher in the entire continent and established the Dragon Subduing Academy."
In the history of the Nine Greats, each of them had a legendary story. But among them, the Dragon Subduing Academy's story was unconsciously the most exciting.
After all, a worker who rose up from the grassroots, obtained a divine art, tamed a huge dragon, married a princess from the royal clan, and dominated the various tribes in the north was undoubtedly the most exciting.
"The ultimate divine art of the school!"
Sun Mo had a bold idea. Sun Mo naturally didn't dare to spar with the headmaster of the Dragon Subduing Academy as it would be too presumptuous. However, it shouldn't be a problem to spar with the headmaster candidate of the Dragon Subduing Academy, right?
At that time, if he used Immemorial Vairocana, wouldn't he obtain a divine art?
The herdsmen were passionate. This was especially so when they saw Sun Mo's group wearing great teacher attire. After knowing that they were going to the Dragon Subduing Academy to participate in the examination, the horse milk wine and the fattest roasted lamb were served on the table.
Of course, they also hoped that the great teachers would be able to teach their good-for-nothing sons a move or two.
"How warlike!"
Sun Mo sighed ruefully as he suppressed the young fellows who were intoxicated and started to wrestle with each other.
Actually, he still liked to recite poems.
Three days later, everyone arrived at Wulan City. After a simple wash up, they put on their masks and changed their clothes according to the examiner's request, heading toward the Dragon Subduing Academy.
The examination officially began.
This famous school was located at the mountainside of the tall sacred mountain, Amurtai. Although it was called a school, Sun Mo felt that it was more like a mountain city.
It was tall and majestic, hanging between the mountains. Its posture was like a huge dragon's nest, exuding prowess without being angry.
The examinees got off their horses and walked. Half a day later, they stood before a huge stone door.
Rumble! Rumble!
The disc spun, causing the heavy and huge stone to rise slowly. Singing and the sound of a zither also rang out from inside.
Singing, dancing, and drinking were the favorites of the Dragon Subduing Academy's students.
Du! Du! Du!
The melodious sound of a bugle horn rang out.
A bearded man had been waiting for a long time. After exchanging a few words with the examiner, he brought Sun Mo's group to a huge public square.
At this moment, there were several hundred students gathered here.
"These great teachers are the newly employed great teachers this year. Tomorrow, the subjects that they excel in will be posted on the signboard. If there's anyone you like, you guys can go and listen to them."
The bearded great teacher introduced with great vigor.
"What if they don't like them?"
An examinee with a big order asked.
"Then we'll naturally get them to scram back home. After all, the milk of our Wulan City isn't used to raise trash."
After the bearded man finished speaking, a series of loud laughter rang out.
Many examinees had grim looks on their faces. After all, after becoming a 2-star great teacher, they had never been ridiculed like this before.
"The Dragon Subduing Academy has such a school atmosphere. It's very free."
Mei Ziyu explained in a low voice, "Of course, because we're from the Central Plains, the respect we receive would be a lot lesser."
Sun Mo expressed his understanding. Because you were from a different race, you had to be more outstanding in order to gain their recognition.
He didn't fly off the handle here, but the prideful Jiang Ji couldn't stand such an attitude.
"Silence!"
Swoosh!
Profound Words erupted. As the golden halo spread out, the entire public square instantly fell silent.
"Is this how you guys treat teachers? Where's the respect? Where's the courtesy? Even if he's an ordinary person, you guys shouldn't laugh and mock him like this the first time you come into contact with him. "
Jiang Ji's words did have some logic to them.
A small number of examinees looked ashamed, but there were also some who felt indignant. It was just that they couldn't say anything due to the power of the great teacher halo.
Sun Mo swept his gaze around and discovered that the examinees all felt a little admiration toward Jiang Ji.
"Ha, retaliate. The more you speak now, the more difficult things you guys will receive. The students from my Dragon Subduing Academy aren't so easily subdued."
The bearded man was waiting to watch a good show.
He was intentionally creating conflict so that he could test the strength of these examinees.
