With this monkey as a guide, Sun Mo's group no longer took the wrong path. After two hours of trekking, they appeared on a patch of green land.
There were no longer tall and thick unknown trees here. Instead, there was a patch of grass that was over a foot tall and was about the size of two football fields.
The summer wind blew past, giving off the feeling that the grass was filled with cattle and sheep.
In the center of the grass, there was a towering tree. It was unknown how long it had been growing for. The rough bark of the tree seemed to be engraved with the sorrow of time.
A thick purple vine was like a python, coiling around this ancient tree. After that, it was like the branches of a willow tree, with thousands of green threads hanging down.
From afar, it looked like a huge green jellyfish.
Zhizhi!
The monkey pointed at the tree and called out twice.
"Little White said that this is the place."
Lu Zhiruo gazed into the distance. "I don't feel any danger. How did it create this maze? "
"This is a type of innate ability!"
Sun Mo introduced. In the words of the Nine Provinces, this vine had an innate talent that could affect the nerves of humans.
It was just like Xianyu Wei's innate divine strength. It was also a type of innate talent.
Using modern science to explain it, this vine was emitting a biological magnetic field that could interfere with one's brain waves.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight. As he observed, he introduced to everyone, "That tree is a redwood from the pine family. It has over 10,000 years of growth rings and can be said to be old."
"Other than this point, there's nothing special about it. But after all, it has lived for a long time. Its trunk already contains a faint fragrance. If it was made into furniture, it would have the effect of refreshing one's mind."
"Sun Mo, where did you learn all this knowledge from?"
Mei Ziyu was curious.
Although her mother, Mei Yazhi, was known as one of the leading figures in alchemy in the future, Mei Ziyu had no interest in using pill furnaces at all.
She liked to grow flowers and plants. Hence, she had read all the books related to plants in Jixia Learning Palace. Hence, she could be sure that there were no records of this type of plant.
One must know that Jixia Learning Palace's book collection was extremely abundant. Other than some unique books from famous schools, basically all the books could be found here.
"I saw it from some ancient books."
Sun Mo smiled. "If you want to take a look, I'll recompile it. I'll organize those that weren't recorded into a book."
"Then I'll thank you in advance."
Mei Ziyu didn't stand on ceremony.
Li Ruolan originally didn't feel anything, but after Mei Ziyu asked this, she suddenly discovered that Sun Mo's knowledge was so vast that it was a little terrifying.
Even Murong Mingyue, who hadn't been interested until now, was a little surprised.
"That vine is good stuff. Did you notice that there are no snakes, insects, rats, or ants here? That's the effect. "
Sun Mo continued to explain, "Its leaves and roots can be used to make water to drink. The former has the effect of calming one's spirit and mind, and the latter has the effect of reducing fat. It can allow a fatty to lose weight very quickly."
"Lose weight?"
Li Ruolan's eyes lit up. Women always wanted a good figure.
"Yes, but the water soaked from the rhizome is very unpleasant."
Sun Mo continued to walk forward.
Everyone immediately followed. Xuanyuan Po looked around vigilantly, hoping that a guardian beast or something would appear and fight with him.
"If that's all, it shouldn't be that precious, right?"
Ying Baiwu felt that she wouldn't be able to sell it for much money.
Just when Sun Mo wanted to continue explaining, he saw the monkey riding on Lu Zhiruo's neck suddenly standing up and looking around.
In an instant, Sun Mo's brows furrowed.
Because there was a powerful biological magnetic field in the vicinity, ferocious beasts and bugs wouldn't come here. But why was the monkey on guard?
There was only one answer left. He was being followed.
"Damn, is it Zou Qi's group from the Hundred Seedlings Academy or some other famous school group?"
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Sun Mo's mind, but his face was calm. But very soon, he revealed an excited expression.
"I've struck it big this time around. This vine is really good stuff!"
Sun Mo walked into the tree and used his wooden blade to poke at the vines, intentionally speaking very loudly.
If his expression was too calm, wouldn't it mean that the discovery this time around wasn't good enough to shock people's hearts?
"How do I bring this back?"
Ying Baiwu glanced at the crown of the tree, feeling a little worried.
Because the vines were everywhere, they were deeply entangled with the ancient Sequoia tree.
"I'll dig out a portion of the thickest root and transplant it. After that, I'll just need to take some leaves."
As Sun Mo spoke, he smashed his fist into the ground.
Boom!
The powerful impact directly caused the soil to splatter, revealing a large pit. Some roots that were stained with soil appeared in his vision.
Sun Mo swept his gaze around but didn't see the thing he had expected. Hence, he punched out again.
Boom!
Not far away, some birds flew away in shock. The grass in the surroundings also collapsed from the impact.
"Teacher, what are you planning to do?"
Helian Beifang stood out. "Just give the instructions. Let me do it."
"Blast open the ground, find the thickest root and bring it back..."
Before Sun Mo finished speaking, an explosive bellow rang out in the air.
"Stop!"
As the bellow rang out, a group of people darted out from the forest and dashed over.
"It's Zou Qi."
Xian Yuwei immediately became nervous. "Why did they find their way here?"
From the point of view of this girl who had already slimmed down, the appearance of a 5-star great teacher meant that the spoils of war they had discovered would be snatched away.
First come, first served?
Sorry!
The pioneering of the Darkness Continent was a competition of strength. Whoever had the bigger fist would have the final say.
"Teacher Zou, are you following us?"
Mei Ziyu's countenance turned sullen. She felt that this fellow was very shameless.
They had relied on that monkey to find this place. If it wasn't for him, they would've had to take many detours.
Zou Qi might be able to think of a solution, but he definitely wouldn't be as fast as Sun Mo.
Moreover, Sun Mo's method required the support of a powerful spiritual control technique. However, these few people didn't have the usual mysterious and cold aura that great teachers of the spiritual control department usually had.
"This is a matter between great teachers, how can it be called following us?"
Cui Xiangxin's lips twitched. "This is called wisdom, understand? Wisdom! "
"I can only say that you guys are too stupid!"
"This is called the praying mantis."
"What rubbish analogy is this? We're the oriole behind, alright?"
"But there's no oriole. The vines are precious secret treasures, and these Central Province Academy's teachers and students are cicadas, drooling over secret treasures. In that case, aren't we the praying mantis?"
"Can you shut your crow's mouth?"
The group of teachers and students seemed to be bickering, but they inadvertently revealed their strength, calmness, and confidence.
"Teacher Sun, many thanks."
Zou Qi didn't deny it.
Firstly, there was nothing disgraceful about this matter. Even if Sun Mo spread this out, everyone would only say that he was too stupid and praise Zou Qi for her meticulousness.
This was a land pioneering, and everyone had to depend on their own capabilities.
Secondly, Sun Mo wasn't a fool. If he denied it, others wouldn't believe him either. On the contrary, he would end up with an image of a vile character that wasn't open and aboveboard, causing him to feel awkward and others to despise him.
"What do you mean by this?"
Xuanyuan Po raised his silver spear and pointed it angrily at Zou Qi.
Li Ziqi's countenance turned unhappy. She racked her brains, thinking of a way to break out of this situation.
"Teacher Sun, this vine was found by you guys after all. I'll allow you to take away a portion of its roots and leaves. Naturally, they won't be counted in your score."
As Zou Qi spoke, she glanced at the monkey riding on Lu Zhiruo's neck. A hint of envy could be seen in her eyes.
He was a bug master.
He was a great teacher that specialized in controlling bugs.
This was a branch of the beastmaster profession.
When Sun Mo appeared in the morning, Zou Qi didn't think much of it. However, Cui Xiangxin said a few words, saying that Sun Mo might be able to find a way out.
After all, a person's name was like a tree's shadow. Sun Mo's glorious battle achievement of getting three top rankers in a year was something that even Zou Qi would drool with envy.
Hence, she used some methods.
She didn't expect that she would actually find this place by a stroke of luck.
At the same time, Sun Mo had also heard the introduction of this monkey, the stone spear in its hand, and the huge tree and vine through the bug's ears.
This was a good item. However, Zou Qi still had to maintain her integrity. Moreover, she was wary of Sun Mo's boundless future. If she were to forcefully snatch it over, they would definitely become mortal enemies.
Zou Qi didn't wish for things to reach this stage.
"Huh? You want us to only take away a portion of the things we found? "
Xuanyuan Po mocked, "Is your brain spoiled?"
"His tone is asking for a beating."
Xianyu Wei was very angry.
"But he's a 5-star and has the capability to do so."
Qin Yaoguang shrugged. "Even if we join forces, we won't be able to win against him."
"Teacher Sun, just stop while you're ahead!"
Zou Qi persuaded.
In his heart, he was also very impressed by Sun Mo's profound knowledge. He didn't know anything about these items, but Sun Mo was able to list them out in detail.
He was truly impressive.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Zou Qi + 300. Respect (900/1,000).
Sun Mo turned his head and glanced at the students. After that, he smiled. "Teacher Zou's skills are a notch higher. I admit defeat. However, I'm unwilling to leave just like this. I have a suggestion. Why don't we have three rounds of battle?
"We'll win two out of three rounds to decide the final ownership of this vine."
The moment Sun Mo said this, everyone looked toward Zou Qi.
"Teacher Zou, there's no need for this."
Cui Xiangxin persuaded.
"Teacher Cui, what are you afraid of? Regardless of whether it's the students or the teachers, I feel that we won't lose. "
A young male great teacher spoke up, causing a series of cheers to ring out.
Those who could be chosen to represent the school in the league tournament were all elites of the school. They were both confident and proud.
Zou Qi fell silent.
"Why? Teacher Zou, you can't be afraid of failing, right? "
Sun Mo chuckled.
"Alright, let's win two out of three rounds then."
For the sake of his reputation, Zou Qi decided to agree to this request. After all, no one would have anything to say if they could win the darkness species back fair and square.
"I'll go first!"
Xuanyuan Po pulled Ying Baiwu, who was about to fight. With a somersault, he landed on the stage and swept his gaze across. "Xuanyuan Po, spirit-refinement realm."
"How many acupoints have you opened?"
Cui Xiangxin asked.
At the spirit-refinement realm, one had to open 108 acupoints before they could break through to the blood-ignition realm.
"It doesn't matter how many acupoints I open. Even if I'm at the blood-ignition realm, I can still fight!"
Xuanyuan Po's voice was loud and clear. His gaze was filled with arrogance.
"How arrogant. I'll fight you."
Chu Long stepped down.
Zou Qi's group didn't stop him because Chu Long was the top ranker among the third-year students. He was a relatively powerful rising star and was personally accepted by the headmaster as a personal student.
After the two young men bowed, they immediately rushed toward each other.
Long blade against long spear.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Amidst the concentrated sounds of collision, sparks flew.
"Junior Chu, you can do it!"
A few senior sisters cheered for Chu Long.
Zou Qi's brows instantly furrowed.
Although the battle seemed to be evenly matched, Chu Long's expression was wrong. It was too heavy. This meant that his opponent was far stronger than he had expected.
As for Xuanyuan Po, his face was filled with excitement.
"Your blade technique is interesting, but it's still not enough!"
Xuanyuan Po attacked fiercely. His spear was like a dragon, like many large snakes attacking and biting. "Use your ultimate move!"
30 breaths later, Chu Long finally couldn't take it anymore. His right leg took a step back, and as his aura dissipated, he retreated step by step.
Bang bang bang!
Xuanyuan Po's spear was like a surging river, wanting to drown Chu Long. As he fought, he shouted, "Use your ultimate move! Your ordinary attacks won't be able to kill me!"
(I want to use my ultimate move, but you have to give me a chance!)
Chu Long gritted his teeth. He felt that his internal organs were in extreme pain. This was caused by the rebound force, but he persevered, waiting for an opportunity.
One step!
Two steps!
Three steps...
After Chu Long retreated 15 steps, Xuanyuan Po's lips curled.
"Trash!"
After saying this, Xuanyuan Po unleashed his ultimate move.
Great Flame Azure Dragon!
Boom!
The spear started burning like an orange-red flaming dragon, blasting onto Chu Long's body. After that, it enveloped him as if it was trying to devour him.
Bang!
Chu Long was sent flying. After landing on the ground, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. His entire body was charred black and he was in a sorry state.
"Junior Chu!"
A few senior sisters immediately rushed over, and a female great teacher hurried over to treat him.
"..."
The gazes of the other hundred seedlings turned solemn as they stared at Xuanyuan Po.
They could understand Chu Long's defeat, but it was a little unbelievable for him to lose so quickly. This meant that his opponent was overwhelmingly strong.
"Xuanyuan, I didn't let you guys fight to win against that vine. I wanted to give you guys a chance to fight and accumulate experience."
Sun Mo lectured, "What do you mean by ending the battle so quickly?"
"Isn't he too weak?"
Xuanyuan Po felt that he wasn't wrong.
"As long as you are a genius, you can learn from your strengths. Xuanyuan, you are always so arrogant. Also, don't always judge others based on their combat strength."
Sun Mo advised patiently.
Xuanyuan Po lowered his head. "Teacher, I know my mistake. I'll fight for three minutes in the next battle."
"How preposterous!"
The hundred seedlings' students exploded with anger. (What do you take us for?)
A few students immediately stood up, wanting to fight against Xuanyuan Po.
"You can step down."
Sun Mo stopped Xuanyuan Po. After that, his gaze roamed around Jiang Leng and Helian Beifang.
Swoosh!
Ying Baiwu took a step forward and stood in front of Jiang Leng, clearly wanting to fight.
"Let me do it!"
Jiang Leng pulled out a dagger that was over a foot long from the sheath behind his waist. "Junior Helian, hold the line."
The second battle would determine the victor and loser. It was an extremely important battle, so Jiang Leng had to fight personally.
"Alright!"
Helian Beifang didn't argue. In any case, if Jiang Leng won, he would fight the third battle as well.
Daring to scheme against his teacher?
Damn it!
Helian Beifang had already decided. He was going to choose this personal disciple of Zou Qi as his opponent and cripple him.
