"There's a self-introduction class tomorrow morning. It's up to you whether you want to come or not. Alright, you can disperse now."
Beardie swept his gaze over the 100 examinees and said in a cold tone, "You guys can tour around the academy, but if you cause trouble, you have to settle it yourselves. Don't think that the school will help you deal with the aftermath.
"Here, you guys have to depend on yourselves."
After Beardie said that, he turned and left, not intending to chat with these people at all.
Based on his thinking, he wanted to take the examination for three months?
He wanted to make these examinees shut themselves up and scram within a month.
"This guy is so arrogant!"
"How can he not be arrogant when he's a 6-star great teacher?"
"Hmph, just wait and see. I'll definitely sleep with a few female great teachers in the Dragon Subduing Academy. Otherwise, it'll be hard for me to vent my anger."
The examinees mumbled, feeling displeased.
To speak the truth, this experience was too terrible. In this school, they had a feeling that they didn't fit in.
In the past, in any school in the Central Plains, even an intern teacher would be able to gain the respect of the students. But here, there was no such thing.
"What about accommodation? Meals? Is no one managing them? "
Liu Zongyuan frowned.
"They should be asking us to find out ourselves, right?"
"Could this also be a stage in the examination?"
At the thought of this, everyone retracted their dissatisfaction. If it was an examination and they carried such emotions, they might get a low score.
Some examinees didn't even bid farewell and left.
"Now, it's all based on our capabilities."
Mei Ziyu reminded. In the previous 3-star examinations, there was no fixed passing score. Rather, it was based on the ratio. As long as one could enter the top 20%, they would be able to rise in stars.
Therefore, if a great teacher were to encounter a formidable competitor, the great teacher who could pass the examination might fail the examination as well.
For example, this year, because Sun Mo and some geniuses on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings wanted to participate, many 2-star great teachers who had planned to participate this year gave up.
In the Saint Gate's values, although great teachers had to be extremely talented and could educate others, they couldn't be a huge infant who couldn't differentiate between the five grains and be lazy.
Therefore, at the start, the examinees had to settle their basic necessities.
2-star great teachers already had quite a high status in society. At the very least, they wouldn't lack maids and servants. Now that they were suddenly asked to rely on themselves, it was indeed more tempering.
Sun Mo was very used to it. After all, in the modern era, he had experienced many times when he was a new student. He had also been bitten by the old dog that was society.
Sun Mo and Mei Ziyu asked two students and found the logistics department. After that, they found their dorm number and collected their daily necessities.
After agreeing to have lunch together, Sun Mo found the dormitory building and knocked on the door.
To think that he didn't stay with the examinees but with the intern teachers of the Dragon Subduing Academy.
Don't look down on these teachers just because they have the title of an intern. Even the worst of them is a 3-star teacher.
There were empty rooms in the Dragon Subduing Academy, but they would only be allocated to official teachers.
"I'm not used to living in a dormitory after living in a villa!"
Sun Mo sighed emotionally.
This was a four-person room. Although the roommates were all men, there was no weird smell like stinky socks. It was just a little messy.
"Hello, I'm the new intern teacher, Sun Mo."
There was only one young man in the dormitory. Sun Mo took the initiative to greet him.
"Sun Mo? That Sun Mo from God Hands? "
The young man asked curiously.
"No, it's just someone with the same name."
Sun Mo shook his head, but he felt joy in his heart. (My great name has already spread to the plains?)
Actually, Sun Mo was thinking too much. It was just that this young man had subscribed to the Great Teacher Report and understood Sun Mo's deeds from there. If it was among the students, there was a high chance that they wouldn't have heard of this name before.
The young man assessed Sun Mo and smiled. "That's true. I heard that Sun Mo is very handsome and is An Xinhui's fiance. Therefore, there's no reason for him to come to the Dragon Subduing Academy to be a teacher."
After the young man said that, he ignored Sun Mo and continued to work hard on the table.
Because Sun Mo was wearing a human-skin mask, his appearance was ordinary.
"..."
Sun Mo's lips twitched. This guy was so rude. At the very least, he should have reported his name.
However, since the other party was cold, Sun Mo wouldn't stick his warm face to a cold butt. Seeing that there was an empty bed, he confirmed that it was his number pasted on the bedside and started to arrange the bedding.
The young man would occasionally sneak a glance at Sun Mo.
(He's not angry?)
(It seems that his temper is quite good. Maybe he has been bullied too many times and is used to it. I wonder how his teaching skills are. But he's so young, so he probably can't do it, right?)
(Hmph, who cares? In any case, one's capabilities will speak for themselves.)
The young man continued to bury his head and study hard. He must stay here and become a great teacher from one of the Nine Greats.
...
After Sun Mo met up with Mei Ziyu, he went to the canteen to take a look.
Here, Sun Mo immediately experienced the difference in social classes.
The canteen on the first floor was very big, but there wasn't much food. It was mainly highland barley biscuits and meat porridge.
There were pastries and fruits, but they were very expensive. Other than some girls who would occasionally buy them for a taste, there was almost no one else in front of the window.
This was also the level with the most students.
The second floor was a little smaller, but there was a wide variety of food. Many foods from the Central Plains could be seen here. It was just that the price was a little higher.
However, the students on this level didn't lack money.
It was because almost all of them were descendants of influential clans. This could be seen from the way they talked, their expressions, and the accessories they wore.
The Dragon Subduing Academy had a student uniform. They wore leather pants, a vest, and a uniform long robe on the outside.
Everyone had a love for beauty.
The school uniform wasn't allowed to be changed privately, but the school didn't have any requirements for accessories. Therefore, those who wore gold, silver, or jade accessories were either rich or of high status.
"Judging from that guy's age, he should be a student, right? Why isn't he wearing the school uniform? "
Sun Mo saw a muscular guy. Although he was eight feet tall, his face looked young. He probably hadn't reached adulthood yet.
"The Dragon Subduing Academy will hold a hunting sacrifice every year. During the sacrifice, if the students manage to hunt a powerful ferocious beast, they can peel off its skin and make it into a shirt that they like."
Mei Ziyu explained.
Simply speaking, those who were strong would have special privileges.
The first floor was the largest and had the most students. However, the food here was the most monotonous. It was because the people eating here were all commoners. However, they didn't have any complaints and felt that it was very fair.
It was already a fortunate thing in their lives to be able to enter this school to study. Therefore, their requests would instinctively be lower.
Of course, in order to avoid conflicts between social classes, the school also gave them a chance to eat on the second floor.
They were either rich or had outstanding abilities, and they had outstanding results in the various examinations and selections the school held.
As for the third floor, almost no one went there. Moreover, the students also tried their best to avoid heading toward the staircase. Therefore, this floor appeared very spacious.
Those dining on this floor were all descendants of powerful tribes. In the future, if there were no accidents, they would be leaders who would wield great authority in their tribes.
Using the standards of the Central Plains, they would be princes and grandsons, royal grandchildren, and princesses.
Of course, if they were willing, they could bring ordinary students up here to eat. However, these princes and grandsons rarely used this right.
It was because they treated this as a method to win over people's hearts.
After all, they didn't just have to learn in this school. They also had to choose geniuses to become their left and right arms.
"This school exudes utilitarianism in every aspect."
Sun Mo felt that it was a little blatant.
"The barbarians don't care about being reserved. What matters is strength. The person with the bigger fist has the final say. This has been the case since ancient times."
Mei Ziyu smiled.
Sometimes, she felt that this wasn't bad. Compared to the people of the Central Plains who were like flies trying to gain personal gains, they were more down-to-earth and scheming.
Sun Mo observed silently, learning from the Dragon Subduing Academy's experience.
If students wanted to eat well and live a good life, they would have to work hard in their studies and climb up. If they couldn't do it, they would scram to the next floor. In serious cases, they might even be expelled.
Sun Mo felt that this was doable.
In the schools of the Central Plains, if a student's performance was good, they would only receive a few words of praise and the teachers would pay more attention to them. There wouldn't be much practical rewards.
"Therefore, there must be material incentives. Other than basic necessities, housing, and transportation, they must also be given peak-grade cultivation arts."
Sun Mo took out his little notebook and silently noted down this rule.
After visiting the canteen, Sun Mo and Mei Ziyu returned to the first floor and ordered the classic highland barley pancake paired with meat porridge. There was also air-dried beef jerky as a side dish.
The taste wasn't bad, but if one ate it for a long period of time, they'd definitely get sick of it.
After that, the two of them headed to the Dragon Subduing Palace. When they arrived, they saw that there were many people here. Most of them were examinees.
The 18 Dragon Subduing Pillars were like jade pillars that supported the heavens. They were upright and seemed to want to pierce through the sky.
They surrounded an area the size of half a football field and paved with stone slabs made of an unknown material. There were strange runes on the stone slabs that emitted a weak fluorescent light.
When someone stood on the stone slabs, the formation would be activated. Then, that person would disappear and be teleported into the Dragon Subduing Palace.
"The Dragon Subduing Palace is the ultimate building of our school. There are ancient dragons inside and fighting against them can temper one's physique. The entrance fee is only one spirit stone. It's really cheap."
A 16-year-old male student smiled and spoke.
"You want to sell it?"
Sun Mo turned his head and surveyed this young man.
"The laws of Middle-Earth will cause the spirit qi in spirit stones to dissipate unceasingly. Therefore, it's impossible to preserve it for a long period of time."
The male student smiled and took out a box that was polished from jade. "However, I have a way to preserve spirit stones."
"What's the price?"
Sun Mo surveyed the box. It looked very mysterious, but it was actually polished from an ordinary stone. However, it was painted to make it look grand.
As for the interior, his eye technique indicated that there was no spirit qi stimulation.
Therefore, this young man before him should be a swindler.
"It's not expensive, just 10,000 taels of silver or weapons and alchemy pills of equivalent value."
The male student revealed a wide smile, looking very honest.
"What's your name?"
Sun Mo asked.
"Ge Rilu."
The male student scratched his head. "If you want to buy it, please do it quickly. After all, many intern teachers came today and everyone wants to enter the Dragon Subduing Palace to take a look. Therefore, spirit stones are very popular."
"A spirit stone isn't worth so much money."
Mei Ziyu frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
"A small handful of salt or sugar from your Central Plains can be exchanged for a sheep from our plains. Who said that it's unfair?"
The male student counter-asked.
Mei Ziyu's face instantly turned red.
One couldn't help but say that people from the Central Plains were really good at doing business.
"I don't like to do business with people who lie."
Sun Mo looked at the male student. His name wasn't Tuoba Cong.
"Lie? Who? "
Tuoba Cong pretended to be confused. However, he was also an intelligent and stubborn child. (This daddy is going to cheat you of 10,000 taels of silver today.)
"This teacher, buy it. I'll be able to eat an extra piece of meat for dinner."
Tuoba Cong turned his target to Mei Ziyu. "Moreover, for a place like the Dragon Subduing Palace, the later you go, the more regret you'll have."
Mei Ziyu didn't lack spirit stones and hence, there was no need to buy it. However, after hearing Tuoba Cong's words, her heart softened and she took out a small porcelain bottle.
In the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, peak-grade alchemy pills were hard currency no matter where it was.
Pak!
Sun Mo pressed down on Mei Ziyu's hand.
"You're quite gutsy to even dare to lie to a teacher!"
Sun Mo chortled.
"Who's lying?"
Tuoba Cong immediately shouted, causing the people in the surroundings to look over.
Sun Mo instantly felt that something was wrong.
Usually, when a swindler was seen through, they'd definitely run away. However, the other party didn't do so and instead wanted to blow things up. This meant that he had a backup plan.
"You're bullying me because I'm an intern teacher and I don't want to blow things up, right? Moreover, even if I'm deceived, I'll bear with it. After all, it'd be too embarrassing for a teacher to be deceived by a student. "
Sun Mo assessed Tuoba Cong. "If I didn't guess wrongly, you definitely have true spirit stones on you. Once we confront each other in public, I'll lose all my face."
"Hehe, what is Teacher talking about?"
Tuoba Cong had a puzzled look on his face, but his heart thumped. (Oh no, I've encountered a smart guy.)
Sigh!
(You can't judge a book by its cover!)
This guy looked like a fool, the kind that wouldn't know even if he was being cuckolded. Usually speaking, male great teachers who were accompanied by female great teachers would be easier to deceive. It was because all men had vanity.
After all, if a female great teacher wanted to go to the Dragon Subduing Palace to take a look, would you dare to not spend money to buy the tickets?
"You're quite gutsy. Go on, I won't expose you."
Sun Mo let Tuoba Cong off. After all, he was a great teacher who had been deceived by him.
Tuoba Cong still had other tricks up his sleeves, but when he saw Sun Mo's clear eyes, he suddenly felt a hint of wariness. After saying 'Teacher is so petty', he ran off to find his next target.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight once again.
Tuoba Cong, 15 years old. Spirit-refinement realm.
Strength: 19. Although his body is thin and weak, he has endless brute force.
Intellect: 17. Cultivation is too tiring. He might as well scam people. It's easier to earn money.
Agility: 15. He has a horse to ride on. Why does he need to run by himself?
Will: 13. When it's time to give in, he should. Only when he's alive can he enjoy wine and beauties.
Endurance: 18. If it involves earning money, he can persist for 100 years.
...
Potential value: Extremely high!
Note: Currently has no personal teacher and his talent is in the midst of being neglected.
Sun Mo's eyelids twitched when he saw the words' extremely high 'written in red. This was a rare good seedling.
Should he recruit one?
As for his character as a scammer, it could be corrected!
"I'll go exchange for two tickets."
The alchemy pills Mei Ziyu brought were of an extremely high grade. Hence, she had the confidence to exchange for two tickets.
"There's no need for that!"
Sun Mo wanted to say that he would look at it next time. However, he saw a light suddenly shining in the teleportation formation. When it vanished, a young man with two crutches appeared.
The surrounding students immediately looked over and whispered to each other.
"He seems to be a famous person?"
Mei Ziyu was curious.
