On the third floor of the darkness illusion dojo, Sun Mo was fighting against an illusion.
The Calabash Brothers stood at the side and observed carefully.
"In battle, if you can't calm down, don't force yourself, and don't panic. An appropriate amount of tension will make you more focused."
Sun Mo explained.
"Of course, if you encounter a strong enemy, my advice is to gather information first. If you feel that you can't beat them, then do your best to avoid them. As long as there is life, there is hope."
"Yes, yes!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhiruo nodded and seriously recorded them in her little notebook.
Xuanyuan Po, on the other hand, held the back of his head with both hands and said disapprovingly, "Only when a person is placed in a dead end will they be able to unleash all of their potential."
After hearing the combat addict's rebuttal, Li Ziqi immediately glared at him. "Shut up."
"Xuanyuan, everyone is different. What I've said applies to most people. You are not included."
Sun Mo looked at his disciples. "Humans will encounter many failures in their lives. Even if they flee, there's no need for them to feel ashamed and have no face to meet others."
"Remember, it's not failure that's scary, but being unable to recover from it."
Buzz!
Golden spots of light sputtered.
Priceless Advice activated.
This was the logic Sun Mo had comprehended during his trip to the Greenhaze Forest. Only by being alive would one be able to turn defeat into victory, and only the winner would have the right to speak.
Although Sun Mo had the last laugh, if he could do it again, he would definitely leave the forest as soon as possible.
The Calabash Brothers immediately bowed and said in unison, "Yes, Master."
"Alright, you guys go ahead and train yourselves. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me during the morning class."
Sun Mo destroyed the illusion and ended the lesson.
Li Ziqi immediately took a towel and a water sack and walked over, helping Sun Mo rest.
"Don't waste your time here."
Sun Mo frowned slightly.
The esteemed princess of the Great Tang Empire poured tea for him and served him by his side. If this were to spread out, it would cause one to feel a sense of superiority. However, Sun Mo didn't care.
"You should focus on your studies now."
Sun Mo persuaded.
"Studying is important, but taking care of Teacher is even more important."
Li Ziqi smiled sweetly.
"Eldest Senior Sister, Teacher is doing this for your own good."
Lu Zhiruo pouted. (If eldest martial sister doesn't leave, I won't have the chance to serve Teacher at all.)
Sigh!
I also want to make a bed for Teacher.
Li Ziqi rolled her eyes at the papaya girl. (Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?)
Stop thinking about it.
In this lifetime, I will never give you a chance. I will take care of Teacher's food and lodging.
Sigh!
I really want to wash Teacher's clothes, but Teacher doesn't give me a chance at all.
"Do whatever you want!"
Sun Mo knew that he wouldn't be able to convince the little sunny egg and could only sigh. He took out a one-foot-long puppet and played with it as he left.
This was the prize that he had given out.
It was called the Hundred Transformation Puppet, and its effect was similar to the building blocks of a toy. It could be assembled at will into various puppet models.
Most importantly, these models could all be replicated at the same scale.
This also meant that Sun Mo could use this puppet model to test out his various ideas. If the effects of the assembled puppet were perfect, he would be able to reproduce these functions after creating a physical body.
To a puppeteer, the most troublesome thing was to experiment with all kinds of ideas in their minds. If they had this model, they could save a lot of time.
During these few days, Sun Mo was very engrossed in playing. He was like a big kid who had obtained a Transformer. However, he wasn't interested in the study of puppetry. He planned to give it to Murong Mingyue in a few days.
Other than this set of models, Sun Mo also obtained 500 spirit rune skill books. Proficiency level: expert-grade.
To the current Sun Mo, this reward was just icing on the cake. It was because he had already started to walk on his own path.
Learning these would only give him some experience.
After that, it was the third part of the Undying Mystic Art and the 100 types of puppet blueprints.
Among these blueprints, there were high-grade ones and low-grade ones, but there weren't any rare ones. Hence, they were only for practice. In any case, Sun Mo wouldn't be able to use them.
However, if he were to open up this course in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about the content.
It was because the creation of puppets was a very private matter. Other than those blueprints that were circulated in the market, if a student wanted to become a puppeteer, they could only find a teacher and learn from them.
Every puppeteer had their own specialties, and they wouldn't easily impart them to outsiders. This was also the reason why the study of puppetry was so rare.
Why did puppeteers like to keep it a secret?
Other than keeping it to themselves, it was also because the combat prowess of a puppeteer depended on the puppets. Once too many people knew about the profoundness of the puppets, they would be easily deciphered.
It was like a magician. If the profoundness was revealed and everyone understood the principles, they wouldn't be able to earn money.
Other than this, Sun Mo also obtained 100 types of high-grade puppet blueprints from the rainbow-colored diamond treasure chest. These were very valuable.
The kind that could be used as family heirlooms.
This time around, Sun Mo also obtained a rare golden bag. After opening it, there was a skill book called the Hundred Works Chart.
It belonged to the subject of weaponsmithing.
Sun Mo studied it and discovered that he couldn't understand it. Hence, he didn't put it to heart. In any case, no matter how amazing the weaponsmithing in the Nine Provinces was, they wouldn't be able to create a war chariot with five pairs of weight-bearing wheels.
Of course, after Sun Mo obtained the Hundred Works Chart, he immediately checked the Central Province Academy's library and the old headmaster's private book collection room. He discovered that the hundred-weapons recorded on it were all rare or unique ultimate arts.
In short, very few people knew about them. Hence, they were very valuable.
However, what made Sun Mo most satisfied was still the great teacher halo that allowed him to do two things at the same time.
He immediately used a bunch of time emblems and raised it to the grandmaster-grade. Now, after activating it, the effect could last for a day.
With the ability to do two things at the same time, Sun Mo could use both his hands to draw two spirit runes at the same time. He could also research spirit runes while studying and having fun.
In any case, it was a great weapon for slacking off.
"However, I still want to have photographic memory!"
Sun Mo was also a layman and liked to show off. After all, doing two things at the same time didn't sound as impressive as having photographic memory.
Li Ziqi hesitated a little but still called out to Sun Mo.
"Teacher!"
"What's the matter?"
Sun Mo smiled. Other than his eldest disciple's motor nerves being a little weak, there was really no one to pick on in other aspects. Talent, looks, intelligence, and identity...
However, no one was perfect. It was still acceptable!
"Teacher, I wish to participate in the 1-star great teacher examination in March!"
After Li Ziqi spoke, everyone was stunned. Even Xuanyuan Po, who had dripped his blood and summoned the darkness illusion, forgot to fight and was struck in the head by the illusion.
"Eldest Martial Sister, you aren't joking, right?"
Even Jiang Leng, who didn't like to speak, was the first to ask. From this, one could see how serious this matter was.
"Why would I joke about my career?"
Li Ziqi smiled sweetly.
"Eldest Senior Sister, if you can't pass on your first try, you won't have the chance to work in one of the Nine Greats … Ah …"
Before Lu Zhiruo could finish speaking, Jiang Leng's finger rapped on her head. She couldn't help but clutch her head and grumble.
"Why hit my head? I'll become stupid, okay?"
"Who told you to jinx it!"
Jiang Leng grumbled.
If Li Ziqi passed, it would be a great boost to her teacher's reputation.
"You can go, but I don't want you to do it for me!"
Sun Mo was a parent with a very open-minded attitude.
If he passed the exam, he would be happy. If he couldn't, it didn't matter. As for why the Nine Elites didn't want it?
(Please, I'm the vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy. How can I let a future great teacher like Li Ziqi go to another school?)
"That's right, Eldest Senior Sister. Even if you pass the One Star Exam, what about the Two Stars? Why don't we accumulate a wave and break Teacher's record of three champions? "
Qin Yaoguang persuaded.
"How can Teacher's record be so easily broken?"
Li Ziqi mentally mused. (Even if I can break it, I won't do it. After all, Teacher is my sky. I have a chance to take down the Youngest Great Teacher Record. I want to give it a try. "
"..."
Tantai Yutang looked at Li Ziqi who was confident and had a goal. He suddenly felt very envious of her, but he also felt a strong sense of disappointment in his heart.
(Everyone's age is similar, but the little sunny egg has already found her direction in life and is fighting hard for it. But what about me?) (I'm so muddle-headed every day.)
"Wow, breaking a record. That's awesome!"
Lu Zhiruo clapped happily.
"I haven't done it yet!"
Li Ziqi felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to take down the record of being the youngest champion and having the longest winning streak together with her teacher.
"You can do it!"
Sun Mo flashed a thumbs up.
Ding!
"New mission issued. Please help your eldest disciple take down the title of a 1-star great teacher and become the youngest great teacher in the Nine Provinces."
Ding!
"New mission issued. If your eldest disciple takes down the title of champion, you'll be given an astonishing reward."
There was a second mission from the system.
"Senior Martial Brother, when did eldest martial sister comprehend the self-taught halo?"
Xianyu Wei secretly poked Helian Beifang's arm and asked in a low voice.
"Before I took her as my teacher!"
Helian Beifang paused and smiled. "What you should be shocked about is that eldest martial sister has already comprehended three great teacher halos!"
"..."
Xianyu Wei was dumbfounded. If one wanted to participate in the great teacher examination, there was a rigid standard for each star.
One star required one to comprehend three great teacher halos and specialize in one secondary occupation. Eldest martial sister was only 15 years old, but she had already reached that level?
She wondered what they were.
(I'll ask her later!)
"If you've decided, I'll prepare a few lessons for you to try out."
The star-level examination had a lecture segment. Li Ziqi was definitely lacking in this aspect.
"Mn!"
The reason why Li Ziqi mentioned this to Sun Mo was because she wanted to get a chance to give a lecture. Although she had attended many of Sun Mo's lessons, the situation would surely be different if she was the one giving the lecture.
Sun Mo left and the group of Calabash Brothers immediately crowded over.
"Eldest martial sister, you're so impressive!"
Helian Beifang was more straightforward. His praise and admiration came from the bottom of his heart.
"Tantai, don't think that my words are unpleasant to hear."
The little sunny egg looked at the sickly invalid. "Your health isn't good and you might not live for long. However, this isn't a reason for you to slack off in life.
"If I were you, I'd cherish this period of time even more."
When Jiang Leng heard this, he was already prepared to stop the fight. Although Tantai Yutang was usually jovial and frivolous, this fellow had a very strong ego.
Now that he was being reprimanded by Li Ziqi, he would surely feel indignant.
"Quickly make a move!"
Ying Baiwu wanted nothing more than for Tantai Yutang to beat him up. This way, she would have a chance to beat up this sickly invalid in the name of protecting her eldest martial sister.
Who asked this fellow to always be disrespectful to their teacher?
Tantai Yutang's expression changed several times. But in the end, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake. "I understand."
"Ah?"
Lu Zhiruo was shocked. She moved closer to Li Ziqi and used her small hand to touch her mouth, secretly reminding her, "I feel that he will poison you."
Tantai Yutang was speechless and started to grumble. "Second martial sister, am I such a person in your heart?"
"Hehe!"
Lu Zhiruo scratched her head and whistled. (What are you talking about?
I'm enjoying the scenery and didn't hear you!)
"Everyone, listen to me!"
Li Ziqi clapped her hands. "All of you should understand how impressive Teacher is. Right now, the only problem for Teacher to obtain the 4-star great teacher title is that we aren't strong enough and have no way to get on the Hero Rankings.
"Hence, I hope that you guys can work even harder this year and help Teacher achieve the grand goal of becoming one of the top four rankers in the past and possibly in the future."
"Impossible."
Xuanyuan Po subconsciously retorted. In the end, Li Ziqi glared at him fiercely. That gaze was as though she wanted to devour someone.
"Why is it impossible?"
Li Ziqi reprimanded.
"Do you know how strong the people on the Hero Rankings are? My goal is to successfully get on the rankings before I'm 18 years old. "
Xuanyuan Po's lips twitched. "Right now, there are still three years left."
Qin Yaoguang mentally mused. (Your goal of getting on the Hero Rankings at 18 years old is truly overflowing with ambition. You have no idea how much you weigh.)
"T... Teacher might be able to do it!"
Xianyu Wei interjected.
"Do you believe this?"
Xuanyuan Po counter-asked.
"Eh!"
Xianyu Wei was speechless.
"Do your best to do it first. If you guys can't do it, then consider other problems. You guys haven't even done anything and I'm already giving up? I'm really ashamed to be in the same group as you guys."
Li Ziqi spoke in disdain. After speaking, she flicked her sleeves and left.
"Given Ziqi's steady personality, could she have some method to quickly raise her strength?"
Ying Baiwu guessed.
"The weakest people on the Hero Rankings are at the divine force realm. What can she use to win?"
Xuanyuan Po looked down on Li Ziqi. One year later, it was a problem if she could even reach the perfection of the body-refinement realm.
...
Ding!
"New mission issued. Please successfully pass the 4-star great teacher examination at the end of the year. Rewards will be given based on your ranking."
The system's voice suddenly rang out.
"Damn, you are still doing this?"
Sun Mo was speechless. This was definitely impossible.
Ding!
"New mission issued. Please become a 4-star great teacher examination at the end of the year and continue to dominate the rankings. If you complete it, you will be given two great teacher halos as a reward or a specialization with a grandmaster-grade proficiency."
This reward was incomparably generous.
"You really think highly of me!"
Sun Mo chortled, not treating this as a big deal at all.
"Host, a top-notch great teacher has to turn the impossible into the possible. This mission is to motivate you to create miracles."
The system persuaded, "No one will believe in miracles before they are born."
"It's useless no matter how impressive I am. The 4-star great teacher examination depends on the students."
Sun Mo had the heart but was powerless.
Jin Mujie's standard was so high, but her students were trash. Hence, she could only continue staying in the 3-star great teacher examination.
When Sun Mo returned to the villa, Dong He told him that Headmaster An asked him to go to the headmaster's office for a meeting.
