Sun Mo threw a glance at the racks and noticed a huge variety of items that filled up the majority of the space.

  However, if he were to take a careful look, he’d notice that the varieties only exceeded 100 types. Most of them was something he already had.

  “System, didn’t you say that as long as I have sufficient favorable impression points, I’d be able to buy everything I want from the system shopping store?”

  Sun Mo was perplexed.

  “Your star level is too low and is unable to unlock more varieties of items! You’ll have to work hard to increase it. The higher your star level, the more comprehensive the items in the shopping store will be.”

  Sun Mo shrugged. It was only four months away from the 1-star great teacher examination in spring. He could attend it then.

  The Saint Gate’s star-level examinations were continuous.

  For example, if Sun Mo were to pass the 1-star great teacher examination in March, then he could continue to take the 2-star great teacher examination in April. If he continued to pass, he could even take the 3-star great teacher examination in May.

  Of course, most people couldn’t consecutively take the examinations. Even if their academic standard reached the said requirements, their great teacher halos also needed to reach a certain number. After all, it was too difficult to comprehend great teacher halos.

  “Other people rely on their father, but I rely on my system!”

  Sun Mo said in self-mockery.

  “Don’t belittle yourself. Given your aptitude, you’ll also be able to comprehend these great teacher halos sooner or later. It’s just that the tools rewarded by the system have shortened the time.”

  The system consoled, “After all, we don’t pick hosts randomly.”

  “You guys?”

  Sun Mo frowned. “Are there other systems?”

  “Why don’t you make a guess?”

  The system refused to reply.

  Great teacher halos were considered peak-grade items. Although they weren’t limited editions, only one would appear each time. A new halo would always appear after the host had purchased the old one.

  This time around, Sharp Tongue halo was the one that appeared. It was another practical halo.

  Usually, ‘Sharp Tongue’ [1] was used to describe someone with a spicy mouth. However, there was no killing prowess.

  Since ancient days, there were no cases where one could kill with just a few words. At the most, it’d be like Wang Lang’s case, where he was driven to death by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang [2].

  However, in Middle-Earth’s Nine Provinces once a great teacher comprehended Sharp Tongue, the words they said would possess a tremendous killing prowess. In lighter cases, it could cause the other party to cough up blood and suffer internal injuries. In serious cases, the other party might just die on the spot.

  “If keyboard warriors were to get their hands on this great teacher halo, wouldn’t they become gods? Wouldn’t everyone they lash out at just die?”

  Sun Mo was amused.

  This was a punishing-type halo. Although physical punishments were commonly seen in Middle-Earth’s Nine Provinces, great teachers held their status in high regard and would rarely make a move. However, if they were to use Sharp Tongue, it’d look cool while also letting the students remember their mistakes.

  Sun Mo looked at the price. 50,000 favorable impression points. No discounts! ……

  The Queen Bee Hotel was one of the top-notch luxurious hotels in White Dew City. Right now, it had been completely booked by Mingshao.

  Chen Ying saw that there was no one in the backyard and so he started to practice the Dharma Skyshock Fist. However, he was midway through it when he suddenly felt an unbearable pain appear in his right chest, causing him to be almost unable to breathe.

  “Chen Ying? Chen Ying? Where the hell did you go? There’s a job to do!”

  The leader of the logistics team was cursing away since Chen Ying always disappeared in the blink of an eye. This was really infuriating.

  “I’m here!”

  Chen Ying called out.

  “Chen Ying, if you don’t wish to be in the logistics group, then just say it. There are plenty of students who wish to do it!”

  The leader frowned. He really disliked Chen Ying’s work attitude.

  “I…… I didn’t slack. I’ve completed all the work you assigned me to!”

  Chen Ying explained. He said too much and it affected his chest, making him feel even greater pain.

  “Do you think you can rest after that?”

  The leader was enraged. “Then will you keep on doing work if I keep on assigning it?”

  Chen Ying fell silent.

  “Chen Ying, don’t think that I’m targeting you. Being in logistics means that you’ll have a chance to come into contact with great teachers. They just need to give us a few lines of guidance and we’ll be able to benefit greatly. Moreover, since we aren’t selected to be part of the main team, we should work even harder,” admonished the leader.

  Their aptitude wasn’t as great, but if they weren’t as hardworking either, how could they put up a fight?

  The other students in the logistics group fought for work to stand out, hoping that they’d be able to move a great teacher.

  However, Chen Ying was nowhere to be found almost all the time.

  “Go collect the clothes of Chen Liqi and the others and then wash them clean. If they are worn out, then don’t keep the clothes. Go to Teacher Zhao to request new school uniforms. After the clothes are ironed, put them into their rooms.”

  “I understand!”

  Chen Ying lowered his head.

  “Quickly do it!” The leader urged, “I know that you’re secretly training, but what can you achieve without any guidance from a great teacher? Just be steadfast and do your job.”

  The leader left, leaving behind Chen Ying whose countenance was a little pale. Each time he took a step, his right chest would experience a piercing pain. Moreover, his dantian felt a little uncomfortable as well.

  “Guidance from a great teacher?”

  Chen Ying wore a regretful expression. He had made use of the opportunity to deliver food to ask Teacher Wei a few questions. Although Teacher Wei had answered his questions, Chen Ying didn’t understand them too well. He wanted to ask further but was worried that he’d be seen as a fool. Moreover, Teacher Wei didn’t have so much time to waste on a student in the logistics group.

  “Our new student group is really amazing! It’s another first place!”

  “Sigh, they get private lessons from our school’s great teachers every day! It’s no wonder that they’re amazing!”

  “I’m so jealous!”

  A few students were discussing it. Chen Ying heard it and couldn’t help but wear an envious gaze.

  A door from the guest room suddenly opened.

  Chen Ying quickly backed off to the wall, lowered his head, and greeted, “Teacher Wei!”

  Wei Xueli didn’t pay too much heed to Chen Ying. He patted Chen Liqi’s shoulder and encouraged, “Your performance is great. Keep up the good work and you’ll be the top person amongst the new students this year.”

  “It’s thanks to Teacher Wei’s great guidance!”

  “Don’t say that. It’s because you’re talented.”

  Wei Xueli didn’t claim the credit. “If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me any time! If I can’t resolve them, then I’ll help you to ask the headmaster!”

  “Thank you, Teacher Wei!”

  Chen Liqi was very respectful.

  “Good luck. Mingshao’s future is in your hand.”

  Teacher Wei admired Chen Liqi more as he looked at him. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “If you change your mind, you can come acknowledge me as your teacher any time!”

  Chen Ying’s countenance was dark when he heard their conversation. When would he receive the recruitment of a great teacher?

  Teacher Wei sent Chen Liqi out and didn’t even look at Chen Ying. He then returned to his room, closing the door.

  Chen Ying had planned on asking a few questions, such as why his chest would hurt. However, he didn’t have the chance to do that at all.

  Chen Ying then carried a big bunch of clothes and turned at the corner of the corridor. But then, he saw Chen Liqi leaning against the wall, having his arms crossed in front of his chest, waiting for him.

  “What do you want?”

  Chen Ying frowned.

  “Tsk, don’t you think too highly of yourself? I’m an official participant and time is very tight for me. I don’t have the time to trouble you!” Chen Liqi rolled his eyes. “My uniform has gotten dirty. Go wash it. Remember to iron it three times after.”

  After saying that, Chen Liqi left quickly. He had to go attend a meeting to discuss the third round of the league tournament. This time around, Mingshao was determined to win first place.

  Chen Ying’s countenance turned even more grim. Compared to being humiliated, he felt even more upset by such neglect. This meant that he wasn’t even worthy of being Chen Liqi’s enemy.

  That was right. Chen Liqi was fighting to win first place while he was here washing clothes!

  “Am I going to waste my seven years as a student like this?”

  Chen Ying couldn’t accept this.

  Some students from the logistics group were already in the backyard and were washing clothes.

  “Did you hear? The Central Province got second place, wiping out Haizhou and Shanyue’s group, showing exemplary performance!”

  “I heard about it. Their teacher, I think he’s called Sun Mo, had lashed out verbally against Haizhou’s headmaster!”

  “That’s right, that’s the one. He crushed Wei Lu who was at the seventh level of the blood-ignition realm.”

  Chen Ying’s ears perked up when he heard the students discussing. Sun Mo? It couldn’t be the person who had saved him the other day, could it? Was he really so amazing?

  (Should I go ask him for guidance?)

  Chen Ying contemplated and his expression gradually became solemn. He hadn’t forgotten what the other party had said. He should either give up on the Dharma Skyshock Fist or change his cultivation art. Either of which was options he couldn’t accept. ……

  As time passed, the student groups gradually returned and more news spread. Then, more schools started to know that the Central Province Academy was incredibly powerful.

  Until now, they had wiped out a total of three student groups: Chongde, Shanyue, and Haizhou. The first two groups were mediocre, but Haizhou was a strong school that had the chance to fight for first place. Despite this, their group was wiped out.

  As a result of this, Sun Mo, Li Ziqi, and Xuanyuan Po’s reputation soared tremendously.

  There wasn’t a wall in this world in which wind couldn’t pass through. Moreover, Sun Mo didn’t exterminate every single one of them. The survivors became the source of the news.

  During these two days, vice-headmasters of the other famous schools started to headhunt Xuanyuan Po and Li Ziqi. Regardless if they could succeed, they decided to give it a try first.

  It was because the Central Province Academy had clearly become a tremendous hurdle for Mingshao that the students started to talk a lot more about them. Therefore, Chen Ying heard about the news as well.

  On the morning of the third day, he finally found a chance to run to the Ten Thousand Maple Hotel. However, he only stood at the entrance, feeling a little at a loss.

  Sun Mo was so famous, so it must be very difficult to meet him. However, since Cheng Ying had already taken leave, he couldn’t possibly waste it. Therefore, he braced himself and entered the hotel.

  Chen Ying saw five students wearing the Central Province Academy’s uniform and quickly went up to them.

  “I’m sorry, may I ask which room Teacher Sun Mo stays in?”

  “What do you want?”

  Shi Qiao’s brows furrowed as he assessed Chen Ying.

  “I…… I……”

  Chen Ying found it hard to speak up.

  “Is there a need to ask? He must be here after hearing Teacher Sun’s reputation and wants to seek his guidance!”

  Xu Jialiang sneered.

  “If that’s the case, I advise you to go back. We don’t even have enough of Teacher’s time to share amongst ourselves.”

  Shi Qiao’s lips twitched. If it was possible, Shi Qiao wanted to stay by Teacher Sun’s side every day to listen to his guidance.

  “Hey, he came all the way here. This showed that he’s really sincere. Don’t be dampening his spirits!”

  Although Xu Jialiang said that, he didn’t wish for these people to affect Teacher Sun’s rest time either.

  “Shi Qiao wanted to acknowledge Teacher Sun as his teacher but didn’t succeed. He has been feeling upset and he hopes that everyone else won’t get Teacher Sun’s guidance either!”

  Lu Qi voiced out Shi Qiao’s thoughts.

  “Shi Qiao, if you perform well in the third round, you might be able to move Teacher Sun!”

  Xu Jialiang consoled him.

  “Forget it. Don’t you wish for the same thing as well?”

  Shi Qiao rolled his eyes.

  Hearing that, Chen Ying’s heart shook. So they were members of the new student group.

  Students like them had plenty of potential and were geniuses that great teachers would want. They wouldn’t pick a teacher easily. However, the few of them wanted to acknowledge Sun Mo as their teacher yet couldn’t do that……

  This meant that it was very difficult for one to become Sun Mo’s personal disciple!

  “It seems that I missed a great opportunity the other day!”

  Chen Ying suddenly felt a little regretful.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Chen Ying +30. Friendly (110/1,000).

  “Which school are you from?”

  Xu Jialiang assessed Chen Ying.

  Chen Ying felt embarrassed to say it. If people from his school were to find out that he came to seek guidance from Sun Mo, they’d definitely reproach him.

  “Tsk, lacking in sincerity!”

  Shi Qiao’s lips twitched. “Just leave. Teacher Sun won’t have the time to give you guidance!”

  Chen Ying didn’t wish to leave.

  “Leave him be!”

  Xu Jialiang urged and was about to leave when he heard Li Ziqi’s question.

  “How can you be so sure?”

  The little sunny egg, papaya girl, and Ying Baiwu carried a bunch of items and came back from their shopping trip outside.

  “Eldest Martial Sister!”

  Xu Jialiang and the others called out.

  “Tsk!”

  Shi Qiao looked down on them. (It seems that my competitors have increased again.)

  After listening to Xu Jialiang’s explanation, Li Ziqi looked at Chen Ying. “It’s you?”

  “I wish to meet Teacher Sun!”

  Chen Ying lowered his stand. “Only Teacher Sun Mo will be able to resolve my problem!”

  “Which school are you from?”

  Chen Ying’s words were polite talk and Li Ziqi didn’t believe them. However, she felt that this was an opportunity to let this student spread Teacher’s fame to other schools.

  As for whether her teacher could solve this student’s problem?

  (Please, my teacher can solve everything!)

  In Li Ziqi’s heart, Sun Mo was very learned and there was nothing he couldn’t do!

  Chen Ying could tell that this flat-chest young girl had great status. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mingshao!”

  “Come with me!”

  Li Ziqi instructed.

  “Eldest Martial Sister!”

  Shi Qiao’s countenance turned bitter. “We wished to seek Teacher Sun’s guidance but didn’t dare to disturb him. Why do we have to give a person like him the chance to do that?”

  Shi Qiao felt upset.

  “One must learn to be magnanimous!”

  Li Ziqi advised.

  “My god, even Mingshao’s student came to seek Teacher Sun’s guidance?”

  Xu Jialiang exclaimed.

  “He’s probably trash that no one cares about. If he really is a good student, their great teachers would have fought to give him guidance!”

  Shi Qiao sneered.

  “Rather than complaining here, you might as well work hard to perform well and move Teacher Sun’s heart.”

  Chu Jian, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly spoke up.

  “Sigh, why didn’t I meet Teacher Sun when I entered the school back then?”

  Shi Qiao sighed. It was the easiest to go under Sun Mo’s wings back then. Now, it had become something very difficult.

  “Forget it, it won’t work at that time either!”

  Peng Kunqi’s lips twitched.

  “I went to find out about it. During the student recruitment meet, Qin Fen had competed against Teacher Sun over a pair of brothers who showed outstanding talent. Qin Fen is an outstanding student from Jixia Learning Palace, but Teacher Sun won. However, although the pair of brothers had great talent, they were lacking in character and thus were refused by Teacher Sun.”

  “I heard about that too. Teacher Sun won’t take in just anybody!”

  Lu Qi nodded.

  “Just accept your fate. It’s very hard to become Teacher Sun’s personal disciple!”

  After Chu Jian said that, the group sighed.

  Ding!

  +321 favorable impression points from the students.

  [1] This is actually an idiom that suggests a heated verbal exchange/debate.

  [2] In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Zhen called for his subordinates to help, while Wang Lang decided to try and persuade him to surrender and engaged Zhuge Liang in a debate, but he was soundly defeated. Zhuge Liang among other things scolded him as a dog and a traitor. From the shock, Wang Lang fell off his horse and died on the spot. There is no record of this in history, and instead, it is said that he merely sent a letter to Zhuge Liang recommending that he surrendered. The letter was ignored.

  Chapter 366: Saint-tier Cultivation Art, Dharma Skyshock Fist!

  In the backyard of Ten Thousand Maple Hotel, after Chen Ying did a round of the Dharma Skyshock Fist, he stood at the side with his arms hanging down, waiting for Sun Mo to evaluate it.

  “Not bad.”

  Sun Mo smiled. As expected of a genius with an extremely high potential value. Being able to train a saint-tier cultivation art to this level through self-learning was truly not an easy task.

  “Many thanks for Teacher Sun’s praise!”

  Although Chen Ying said thanks, he didn’t feel so in his heart. This praise was too general. He came here because he sincerely wanted guidance and not to hear such flashy but empty words.

  Sun Mo didn’t expose Chen Ying’s thoughts. He continued to evaluate, “The Dharma Skyshock Fist…… One shouldn’t place the emphasis on the stances and should focus on the aura instead. What’s important here is how you circulate and use your spirit qi. After you trained to the third level, you deviated from the correct method of training.”

  After hearing this, Chen Ying’s spirits stirred. His expression immediately became much more respectful. Also, a bit of shock could be seen in his eyes.

  Teacher Sun knew that he had trained it to the third level?

  Impressive indeed!

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Chen Ying +100. Friendly (210/1,000).

  “The essence of the Dharma Skyshock Fist lies in steadiness rather than fancifulness. You have to calm your mind and free yourself of distractions before following the prescribed pattern of the manual to cultivate.”

  Through the data gleaned from Divine Sight, Sun Mo knew Chen Ying’s general situation. He was the same as many young people. His personality was playful and active. If someone wanted him to slowly cultivate like an old monk, it was basically impossible. Young people would only want to quickly cultivate the divine art and kill their enemies, rising to fame in the world.

  “Is that so?”

  Chen Ying frowned as he continued punching.

  “Lower your speed!”

  Sun Mo reminded.

  “A little slower. Yes, that’s the way. Channel the focus you place on the stances to the flow of spirit qi instead.

  “Don’t allow the spirit qi to disperse. Do your utmost to circulate it through your meridians!”

  Humans had many meridians. They were like rivers and lakes that spread throughout one’s body. Spirit qi would flow through the main channels, but a small portion would always flow into some of the tiny energy channels.

  It was fine if one cultivated in some other cultivation art. But if one trained in the Dharma Skyshock Fist, this shouldn’t happen because the essence of this cultivation art was to transform spirit qi into a type of energy to attack enemies.

  Gradually, Chen Ying’s furrowed brows smoothened as a look of joy appeared on his face. He discovered that after he followed Sun Mo’s instructions, the pain he felt when he cultivated had lessened by a large margin and the might produced by his attacks also grew larger.

  Bang! Bang!

  Chen Ying’s attacks produced the sounds of a tiger roaring. His aura was much greater than before.

  “Teacher is so awesome!”

  Ying Baiwu sighed.

  “Is there still a need to say this?”

  The papaya girl felt very honored.

  After Chen Ying finished executing one round of his newly modified punch routine, he felt extremely refreshed. This feeling was something he had never experienced before!

  At this moment, Chen Ying felt that he could do anything!

  (Is this the value of a great teacher?)

  After his excitement, Chen Ying hurriedly thanked Sun Mo. This time around, his expression was much more humble. He didn’t dare to have any impure or chaotic thoughts in his heart anymore.

  “Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. I told you before that there’s a problem with this cultivation art. If you continue to train in it, you will be crippled.”

  Sun Mo warned.

  Chen Ying’s expression dimmed. After that, he gritted his teeth and expressed his stance. “It’s impossible for me to give it up!”

  Sun Mo expressed that he understood. If he were the one who had obtained a saint-tier cultivation art, even if it was a fragmented one, he would have chosen to cultivate it as well.

  “Teacher, might I be so bold as to ask you a question? Have you seen this cultivation art in the past?”

  Chen Ying was curious.

  “I can only do so much.”

  Sun Mo smiled. He turned and walked up the building. Actually, as long as he wanted it, he could use sparring as the pretext and depend on Immemorial Vairocana to get the cultivation art from Chen Ying.

  Seeing Sun Mo about to leave, Chen Ying sank into a huge internal struggle. He knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would definitely not be able to look for Sun Mo ever again.

  However, letting him modify the cultivation art?

  Honestly speaking, this was a saint-tier cultivation art. Allowing an unfamiliar person to read it? Who would be willing to? Even if his own father wanted to read it, Chen Ying would still hesitate for half a day.

  Seeing Chen Ying’s expression, Ying Baiwu grew unhappy. “This fellow is judging the character of everyone with his small-mindedness. If it was up to me, Teacher shouldn’t be guiding him at all.”

  “Teacher’s heart can contain the skies, he wouldn’t hold it against a youth!”

  Li Ziqi was actually impressed with Sun Mo’s magnanimity.

  Wasn’t it very normal for a youth to have such flaws? If her teacher held this against him, it would really be lowering himself to the youth’s level.

  After Chen Ying heard this, an ashamed look appeared on his face. After that, he gritted his teeth and ran after Sun Mo. With a thudding sound, he knelt on the ground.

  “Esteemed Teacher Sun, please pardon my boldness. Will you be able to modify the cultivation art?”

  After Chen Ying asked, his gaze was filled with trepidation and anticipation while he stared at Sun Mo.

  “Teacher Sun, I heard that a student from Mingshao came and is looking for you.”

  Gu Xiuxun heard the conversation between students and came here to partake in the liveliness. After seeing Chen Ying, she was enlightened. (So, it’s that student who knows the saint-tier cultivation art.)

  “I don’t dare to guarantee it!” Sun Mo honestly spoke, “But I will do my utmost.”

  Upon hearing this, Chen Ying wanted to thank him.

  “Wait a minute!”

  Sun Mo stopped him. “I have to make a point clear. After I’ve seen your Dharma Skyshock Fist, I might teach it to others. If you cannot accept this, you shouldn’t let me look at it.”

  This was a test.

  Honestly speaking, Sun Mo currently was in possession of six types of saint-tier cultivation arts. Also, because of the existence of Immemorial Vairocana, he would be able to get any cultivation art just by fighting against someone who knew it.

  Sun Mo truly didn’t cherish the Dharma Skyshock Fist that much.

  Chen Ying fell silent.

  “Eh, what’s wrong?”

  Gu Xiuxun went to Li Ziqi’s side and asked in a low voice.

  The little sunny egg explained things to her.

  Sun Mo silently counted down. He would only give Chen Ying three minutes to consider.

  Chen Ying thought about many things, especially so regarding the vivid scenes of him being bullied by Chen Liqi after he entered the school. In this world, strength was everything!

  Given his talent, he would surely not be able to gain the appreciation of a great teacher. If this continued, the disparity in strength between him and Chen Liqi would only grow wider and ultimately, he would be trampled upon with his face in the mud.

  Which youth would be willing to accept this?

  “Modifying a saint-tier cultivation art? Is Sun Mo joking?”

  Gu Xiuxun didn’t believe this.

  “Teacher is definitely able to do it. Since he knows the name of the cultivation art Chen Ying is using, he must have seen it before.”

  Li Ziqi analyzed.

  “Speaking of which, where did Sun Mo learn so many saint-tier cultivation arts from? Can he teach me some?”

  Gu Xiuxun was envious.

  “You should go ask our Teacher about this. I don’t think he would be selfish.”

  Li Ziqi surveyed Gu Xiuxun. Although her chest wasn’t big, her legs were extremely long and beautiful. She should be her teacher’s cup of tea.

  (Aiya, Li Ziqi, what are you thinking about?)

  (Teacher would surely not be like those lusty fellows!)

  When Chen Ying heard this, his mind stirred.

  (That’s right. Teacher Sun must have known about this cultivation art. In that case, he is clearly testing my sincerity. Damn, I almost disappointed him.)

  After thinking of this, Chen Ying knelt on the ground.

  “Teacher Sun, since I’m asking for your guidance with sincerity, however you want to handle this cultivation art is up to your discretion!”

  After Chen Ying spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his robes and opened it. The femur of an unknown creature was revealed. It was about one-third of a meter and there were many densely-packed tiny characters inscribed on it.

  Chen Ying looked at the bone with deep emotions in his eyes as though it was his lover of nine lifetimes.

  “How disgusting!”

  Ying Baiwu couldn’t accept Chen Ying’s attitude. He was even caressing the bone.

  “Wow, I can feel a terrifying aura from the bone. It should be from a type of ancient gigantic beast.”

  Lu Zhiruo analyzed.

  Gu Xiuxun and Li Ziqi didn’t say anything. They were surveying this bone.

  “Teacher, I discovered this by chance in a broken-down temple!”

  Chen Ying introduced.

  At that time, Chen Ying entered a dilapidated temple to hide from the rain by chance. In the end, a bolt of thunder cleaved down and destroyed the buddha statue in the temple. After that, this bone was found inside the buddha statue.

  “Follow me!”

  Sun Mo returned to his room. There was basically no need for Chen Ying to introduce its origin. The ancestor-grade Divine Sight swept over and everything about the bone was revealed.

  In ancient times, the ribs of gigantic beasts like the roc and the taotie would contain ancient force. Although the ancient force contained within them was already extremely weak, if the spiritual controller had an extraordinary cultivation base, they could use it as a medium and summon a gigantic soul beast.

  After seeing this, Sun Mo’s lips twitched. His spiritual beast control art was at the grandmaster-grade and it was possible for him to achieve this. However, he didn’t have any thoughts of taking the bone for himself.

  He continued looking at it.

  The characters recorded there were indeed the Dharma Skyshock Fist’s cultivation art. It was a peerless-grade saint-tier art and it was said that this cultivation art originated from Bodhidharma. It was extremely ‘righteous’ and filled with vital energy, capable of shocking heaven and earth and eradicating souls, ghosts, and demons.

  Note: There are mistakes in this copy of the cultivation art. Do you want to correct it?

  “Damn. System, you can do this too?”

  Sun Mo was shocked.

  “It’s not me, it’s the Divine Sight” The system explained, “For eye-techniques like this, after they reached the ancestor-grade, they would be able to automatically modify cultivation arts, optimizing it. After seeing the problems, they would give the best solution to resolve it.”

  “But this is a saint-tier cultivation art!”

  Sun Mo sighed ruefully.

  “Is saint-tier very strong?”

  The system counter-asked. Its tone was filled with a trace of disdain.

  “Tell me, what exactly is Divine Sight?”

  Sun Mo wouldn’t believe that this was just an eye-technique.

  “Don’t be naively excited due to ignorance. In buddhism, there is a skill named Heaven Eyes that can allow you to see the past and future. There’s nothing incredible about Divine Sight being able to see the most optimized state of a cultivation art.”

  The system chortled. As expected, Sun Mo was a country bumpkin that hadn’t seen the world. (In the future, when you see the wider world and attempt to understand the true essence of the universe, wouldn’t you be frightened to death?)

  Sun Mo fell silent. He felt that Divine Sight should be something of an even higher tier.

  It was just like a calculator. It could easily calculate plus, minus, division, and multiplication or even opening radical signs. However, it wouldn’t be able to do more complex calculations. But if one changed the tool used to a computer instead of a calculator, the former would be able to do so.

  Comparatively, saint-tier cultivation arts were all extremely powerful, yet the Divine Sight could easily analyze it and even give suggestions to optimize it. At the very least, the tier of Divine Sight should be even higher than saint-tier cultivation arts!

  “Enough. You don’t need to think about the origin of Divine Sight. You just have to use it appropriately.”

  The system persuaded.

  Chen Ying was so nervous that he didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. He was deeply afraid that Sun Mo’s answer would be in the negative. If that was so, he would have wasted his effort.

  “The written characters have no mistakes but the sequencing is wrong!”

  Sun Mo spoke. Either an ancient hegemon wrote this out to swindle others or someone was forced to write this out under duress.

  In any case, the intent behind this was malicious. Whoever trained in it would be extremely unlucky.

  Chapter 367: Sun Mo’s Guidance, A Complete Transformation!

  Some lucky people could easily obtain things others would never get.

  Chen Ying was an example. He was very lucky to have received a saint-tier cultivation art. However, the content of the cultivation art had some mistakes. If he continued training in it, he would only die in the end.

  “The sequence is wrong?”

  Chen Ying frowned.

  “This cultivation art is written in an ancient tongue, and only a few people in the current era understand it. In order to learn this, you must have self-studied the ancient nine province language, right?”

  Sun Mo asked.

  “Yes!”

  After hearing Sun Mo’s words, Chen Ying’s expression grew even more respectful. “Teacher, do you know the ancient language as well?”

  “Are you not talking nonsense?”

  Ying Baiwu was unhappy. “Is there anything my teacher doesn’t know?”

  Sun Mo’s proficiency in the ancient language was expert-grade. It was sufficient for him to understand the majority of ancient texts.

  “I have been disrespectful.”

  Chen Ying hurriedly apologized.

  Gu Xiuxun didn’t speak. She only cast a glance at Sun Mo. (I didn’t expect you to actually know so much stuff!)

  (Speaking of which, you also have a great understanding of the study of spirit runes, spiritual beast control, medical cultivation……The standards of your knowledge on these subjects are very deep. How did you manage to squeeze out time to study ancient languages?)

  Gu Xiuxun couldn’t understand.

  There must be a heaven-shaking secret within Sun Mo!

  “Since you learned it before, it’s simpler to resolve this then. At first glance, the second part, fifth part, and ninth part are topsy-turvy. Their sequences are swapped.”

  Sun Mo explained.

  To give an example, it was like those rarely seen languages. Sometimes, in a conversation, when the words were swapped around, even linguists might find it very difficult to differentiate them.

  For example for that famous saying – people can be shown the way but they cannot be made to understand it*. If someone wasn’t a chinese native speaker, they wouldn’t understand the meaning of the phrase itself despite it being made up of simple words.

  Chen Ying had naturally memorized the cultivation art so well that he could recite it backward. There was no need for him to check the bone and he already knew which part Sun Mo was talking about.

  He carefully contemplated and discovered that after following Sun Mo’s modifications, his spirit qi in his ‘Shentang’, ‘Qihai’, and ‘Jiyuan’ acupoints was flowing differently.

  “There are a total of five mistakes. You just have to swap the sequences for these parts and cultivate them.”

  Sun Mo was very curious. Who exactly had written this cultivation art?

  It seemed like the person whom the writer wanted to swindle must be extremely powerful. This cultivation art was so real because the writer only swapped the sequences around for five parts. Besides, he didn’t dare to miss out any word.

  If its purpose was to swindle people, doing this much was already sufficient.

  “Many thanks for Teacher Sun’s guidance!”

  Given Chen Ying’s standard, he naturally wouldn’t be able to immediately experience the benefits Sun Mo brought him, so he was still skeptical. This was why he didn’t contribute favorable impression points.

  “Go to the backyard and show me your punching routine!”

  Sun Mo took the lead and went out of the guest room.

  Gu Xiuxun and the others hurriedly followed behind him.

  In the backyard, Chen Ying began his punching routine.

  He was already very familiar with the Dharma Skyshock Fist. Hence, changing the five flows of spirit qi due to the wrong sequencing was extremely simple.

  Besides, Chen Ying’s talent was extremely high. Even before he finished a round of punching, he already experienced the benefits brought upon by Sun Mo’s modification of the cultivation art.

  Firstly, his body no longer felt pain.

  Secondly, his punches were smoother. It had also been smooth in the past, but Chen Ying had felt some awkwardness during some parts. But now, he felt he could enjoy executing the punching routine to his heart’s content. It was like drinking a can of iced soda after playing a basketball match on a hot summer day. The feeling of satisfaction was indescribable.

  Lastly, he could feel an increase in might.

  Whether a cultivation art was powerful or not, it depended on the amount of might it could produce. An increase in might proved that Sun Mo was right.

  After Chen Ying finished one round of his punching routine, he was so agitated that his body was trembling.

  Right, this was the feeling. He had confidence that if Chen Liqi came and found trouble with him, even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t let Chen Liqi leave smugly either.

  After he thought of this, Chen Ying hurriedly ran toward Sun Mo and knelt with a thudding sound.

  “Chen Ying has nothing to repay the gratitude Teacher Sun has shown me.

  Chen Ying kowtowed thrice very forcefully and sincerely.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Chen Ying +1,000. Reverence (1,210/10,000).

  “It can’t be, right? Sun Mo has modified a saint-tier cultivation art successfully?”

  Gu Xiuxun was stunned. Even a secondary saint might find it hard to accomplish such a thing. What sort of brain did Sun Mo have?

  Wasn’t he a little too impressive?”

  “Chen Ying. This Dharma Skyshock Fist is a fist of righteousness, a fist that vanquishes evil. I hope that after you master it, you can also inherit its original concept and not neglect the proper way!”

  Sun Mo warned with a heavy tone, “If you use it to commit evil, I, as the person who showed you the correct path, will strip you of your qualifications to use it.”

  “I wouldn’t dare!”

  Chen Ying kowtowed again.

  Sun Mo wasn’t saying this for nothing. A peerless saint-tier cultivation art was something that could be the ultimate art of a school. In Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, its power was equivalent to a nuclear warhead. Once Chen Ying mastered it, if he used it to do evil, he would definitely become extremely dangerous.

  One must know that the desires of humans were endless. After obtaining extreme power, their desires would only increase boundlessly.

  (I can crush you with one punch. Also, when others have no qualifications to judge me, why should I speak logic with you?)

  Since Sun Mo had taught Chen Ying the proper way to cultivate this art, this meant that he had to take up the responsibility to ensure Chen Ying didn’t stray from the right path.

  In the Nine Provinces, teachers didn’t merely impart skills. They also had to guide the students in terms of how to behave with integrity and how to walk on the correct path.

  “Stand up!”

  Sun Mo helped Chen Ying up. Generally, this was a good youth who knew how to repay debts of gratitude!

  “I will remember Teacher’s teaching with reverence!”

  Chen Ying kowtowed three more times and stood up.

  “That relative of you keeps on bullying you. I know you would surely feel very sullen. However, this isn’t the time for you to find him for a fight. You should calm your heart down and focus on cultivation!”

  Sun Mo didn’t want to see Chen Ying going to find Chen Liqi for revenge just because of his newly built confidence. Honestly speaking, Chen Ying wouldn’t be able to win against Chen Liqi at this moment.

  “I’ll follow your instruction.”

  Chen Ying really wanted to kill his way back and challenge Chen Liqi in front of everyone, defeating him, making Chen Liqi lose all face. He also wanted all those great teachers who looked down on him to know that he was then the genius.

  However, after listening to Sun Mo’s words, he decided to give it up.

  “I’ve said what I ought to say. You can return, just do your duty well!”

  After Sun Mo spoke, he placed his hands behind his back and walked up the stairs.

  He felt that at this moment, he should have the style of a great teacher. Sadly, there was no wind to flutter his robes or he would have looked extremely graceful.

  Chen Ying bowed deeply. He only straightened his body after Sun Mo’s figure vanished. Thereafter, he departed the Ten Thousand Maple.

  In the guest room, the system notification rang out.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations on helping a student to rebuild his confidence. Also, you won his respect and allowed the prestige connection between you two to be unlocked. You are hereby awarded 1x golden treasure chest!”

  “Sun Mo, do you already know the Dharma Skyshock Fist before this?”

  Gu Xiuxun suddenly came over and asked in curiosity.

  “Why don’t you take a guess?”

  Sun Mo stretched out his hand and patted the papaya girl’s head. “System, open the treasure chest!”

  After a golden light flashed, a number of green-colored bronze plates appeared before him.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, you have obtained 5x time emblems!”

  The result wasn’t bad. After Sun Mo whistled, he started to think about what he should use them for.

  Should he use them to improve his proficiency in the Dharma Skyshock Fist?
