Pak!

  The wine cup smashed into Gu Xiuxun’s back.

  “Ah?”

  Gu Xiuxun, who was currently discussing Zhang Yanzong’s strengths and flaws with Sun Mo, was suddenly hit. She subconsciously cried out and stood as a reflex.

  Because she exerted too much force, her leg knocked into the table.

  Huala~

  The wooden table shook.

  One couldn’t help but say that Xiao Li’s throwing accuracy was truly shitty.

  Ceng~ Ceng~ Ceng~

  Sun Mo, Zhang Yanzong, Xuanyuan Po, and Ying Baiwu directly stood up.

  “What are you doing?”

  Sun Mo frowned and coldly asked.

  Zhang Yanzong originally wanted to shout. But when he saw Xuanyuan Po take a wooden stool and want to toss it over, he quickly stretched out his hand to hold the combat addict back.

  “My heavens, it is my teacher who got thrown. Why are you even angrier than me?”

  Zhang Yanzong had a brand new understanding of Xuanyuan Po’s desire for combat. After that, he vowed that he would absolutely not find this fellow for a spar ever again in the future.

  “This great teacher, what do you mean by your action?”

  Xia Yuan questioned. As the oldest in the group, she had the responsibility to step out.

  The great teachers who were sitting at the same table as Xiao Li were all stunned. (What are you doing?) But soon, they stood up and hurriedly apologized, “We are really sorry, he drank too much!”

  “Please forgive him, please forgive him!”

  The others hurriedly spoke.

  When Xiao Li saw this, he felt even more sullen in his heart.

  Why did he toss a wine cup?

  Because he was helpless and wanted to vent!

  Honestly speaking, it was just because of a moment of impulse. When the wine cup flew through the air, he immediately regretted it. However, he was really very angry!

  During his first time, he had gone to take the examination with a heart filled with confidence. In the end, because he overestimated his own abilities, he suffered a setback in the written examination and failed. From then on, he concentrated fully on research and study for five years, doing his best to improve his capabilities. He then went for the second examination after that.

  This time around, Xiao Li failed during the combat round between the great teachers. He finally understood the meaning of the sentence there’s always someone stronger out there. After that, he worked hard for another five years, but it seemed that the heavens wanted to go against him. For the third examination, all three of his personal students failed.

  After that, during the fourth attempt, he encountered the top graduate of the Heavenly Mystery Academy during the great teacher’s combat round and was crushed directly. He didn’t even manage to make it into the disciple’s combat round.

  In the span of twenty years, the consecutive failures brought too much impact and pressure to Xiao Li’s mind. In the early part of the year, in order to leave no road of retreat for himself so as to encourage himself further, he had said that if he failed this year, he would give up on the occupation of a great teacher.

  However, who knew that the heavens decided to pull another joke on him? The Saint Gate suddenly increased the difficulty of the examination. This was simply a bombshell smashing down.

  Xiao Li was completely dumbstruck.

  He wanted to wait for one more year, but what about the words he had publicly said before?

  He failed four times consecutively and he knew that the teachers in his school treated him like the butt of jokes. During the great teacher examination every year, his name would be brought out as an example for others, warning the newbies to not be like him.

  The nearer the examination date got, the greater the pressure on Xiao Li, he also felt increasingly nervous. What if he failed again?

  Such worry caused him to lose sleep for several days. Today, because he drank too much and when he saw Gu Xiuxun and Sun Mo whispering in each other’s ears, his emotions instantly exploded.

  Based on what?

  This man was so young, but there was already a beauty fond of him. Moreover, his future was boundless as well. Xiao Li looked at himself. He was already over 40 years old. He had already lost his youth, the most graceful period of his life.

  (Why do I have to be the one living like a dog?)

  (I also want to prove to those who look down on me that I, Xiao Li, can also become a 2-star great teacher!)

  When he thought of this, he suddenly felt a sense of heroism filling his heart. He lifted his hand and smashed it onto the table.

  Bang!

  “As a great teacher, you refused to set yourself as an example and indulged in extravagance and waste. How unbecoming!”

  Xiao Li looked at Sun Mo in anger as he spoke in a severe tone.

  (Wow, this reason actually sounds quite reasonable!)

  However, this reason didn’t stand before Sun Mo. Besides, Gu Xiuxun was the victim here. Who could endure this?

  “What the f*** does it have to do with you?”

  Sun Mo directly cursed.

  Hu~

  Upon hearing the commotion, the guests in the restaurant all started to pay attention. When they heard Sun Mo cursing, all of them were momentarily shocked.

  “That isn’t something a great teacher should say.”

  “I feel that this young man is simply very direct!”

  “That middle-aged man is clearly looking for trouble. It’s clear he’s jealous of that young man!”

  “Of course. I’m also jealous. Truly, a fresh flower stuck in a pile of cow d……eh, but then again, this young man is quite handsome!”

  The great teachers here discussed with each other as they watched the show with excitement. They treated it as a pleasant diversion of amusement and snuck glances at Gu Xiuxun.

  This was the instinct of humans.

  Even Mencius once said that men would admire pretty girls no matter what!

  “As a great teacher, you even spout vulgarities before the students. A person like you is actually a great teacher? I truly feel ashamed to be in the same profession as you!”

  Xiao Li scolded back.

  “Alright, you guys should just stop arguing.”

  The people at the side persuaded, silently thinking that this young man was so rich and his female companion was so beautiful. (His clan must surely own a mine, right? Can you afford to antagonize him?)

  “As great teachers, our morality and conduct should be as one. If you are unhappy about me, you can tell me directly instead of acting sanctimonious here!”

  Sun Mo’s expression didn’t change, but he started to reflect on himself. Indeed, he shouldn’t have cursed out loud before the students. He would take note of this and change in the future.

  “Great teachers, the two of you, please calm down. Please calm down!”

  The boss of the Copperbell Hotel came over, bowing as he smiled. After he understood what was going on, he hurriedly explained to Xiao Li. “This great teacher, please be clear of this fact. This young great teacher didn’t waste the food he ordered. All the dishes they couldn’t finish would be given away to the beggars.”

  When the boss said this, Xiao Li’s countenance changed. The people at his table also had unnatural expressions.

  “Have you heard it? Apologize!”

  Xia Yuan shouted in rage, manifesting a sense of existence. This was a great opportunity to gain favor from Sun Mo.

  (Sisterh…… eh, brotherhood is only formed from fighting together!)

  “I was in the wrong for not making clear of the situation. However, I was only angry for the sake of the fact that food might be wasted. I wanted you to understand that the life of farmers isn’t easy.”

  Xiao Li appeared to be acknowledging his mistake but was still criticizing Sun Mo. “Also, it is difficult for your parents to earn money. When you are spending money, I hope you think about your parents more!”

  “Neath the midday sun he hoes his crops. Sweat moistens the soil between the stalks. Of food on the table who recalls, each grain is produced through bitter toil!”*

  Sun Mo looked at Xiao Li and spoke with a pause between each sentence. “I don’t need you to teach me logic like this!”

  Indeed, there was no need for Xiao Li to teach him this because after Sun Mo finished speaking, a golden light erupted forth from his body and illuminated the area.

  A great teacher halo was activated.

  “Priceless Advice?”

  The great teachers were all shocked. Huh? A great teacher halo was activated just because of a minor argument?

  Moreover, this poem was so well-spoken. Although the meaning was clear and easy to understand, it completely illustrated the hard work of the farmers and a warning to people who wasted food in a way that depicted penetrating insight.

  The main point was that Priceless Advice was activated. This meant that this young man truly didn’t waste food. Without sincere emotions, this halo would definitely not activate.

  “Wow, even when reciting poems, every word our teacher speaks is a golden sentence!”

  Lu Zhiruo was very happy. She took out a small notebook and jotted down the words.

  Li Ziqi smiled. This was a standard operating procedure.

  If it wasn’t for the gazes of the public, Gu Xiuxun really wished to cuff Sun Mo on the neck. “You are erupting forth with golden sentences again!”

  It truly invoked envy in others.

  Sun Mo didn’t care whether the sentences he spoke were golden sentences or not. All these were his true thoughts. Because, ever since he was young, the concept of being thrifty was inculcated in him by his parents.

  Even later on when he joined the society and worked, he didn’t waste a single grain of food.

  Xiao Li felt very awkward. Once Priceless Advice was activated, it meant that his criticism earlier couldn’t stand on its own.

  “Besides, the money I spent is the money I earned myself. Don’t use your subjective thinking on everyone!”

  Sun Mo continued, “Do you want to ask how is it possible for me to earn so much money? I’m sorry to say this. I found a spirit stone mine. So, are you very angry now?”

  Puchi!

  After hearing how toxic Sun Mo’s words were, the few girls started to smile.

  “If Black Doggy Sun doesn’t bark at people, you guys will not know how terrifying an unleashed wild dog is!”

  Gu Xiuxun was unable to restrain a smile.

  “What bullshit are you talking about? I can also say that I found an eight-gate cloud!”

  Xiao Li’s face was flushed. The feeling of tipsiness surged. “Do you think you can find a spirit stone mine just because you want to?”

  An eight-gate cloud was ranked #10 on the darkness mysterious species list. Why would Xiao Li mention it? Because he felt that if someone found this, they would immediately become a winner in life. As for the top nine species?

  Unless one was a god of luck, it was basically impossible.

  Hahaha!

  This time around, all of Sun Mo’s personal students started laughing. Even Jiang Leng with the dead-pan expression couldn’t restrain a smile. (Sorry, I don’t know if you have an eight-gate cloud or not, but my teacher definitely has one!)

  “What are you guys laughing for?”

  Gu Xiuxun turned her head and looked at Li Ziqi and the rest with a puzzled look on her face. She didn’t understand why they were laughing.

  “Alright, I didn’t get the situation clear. I was the one in the wrong first. However, by speaking like this to a senior, are you not a little too disrespectful?”

  Xiao Li changed the topic again. Not only did he want to blacken Sun Mo’s name, but he even wanted to make Sun Mo wear the hat of ‘disrespecting seniors’. Once news of this spread, some seniors would ruthlessly teach him a lesson during the combat round of the examination.

  “What is a senior? Seniors are people with talent and virtue, with capabilities, able to convince others with their reasoning, able to administer justice with their martial strength. Do you have all of these qualities?”

  Sun Mo coldly snorted. “Some people are young and have strong aspirations, tempering themselves as they advance forward. As for others, they waste 100 years of their life and are worse off than a dog!”

  Hua~

  A commotion rose in the surroundings.

  “Well spoken!”

  “Might I be so bold as to inquire your name?”

  “I have some wine here, I wonder if sir is willing to give me some face and join me for a drink?”

  More than one great teacher among the spectating guests involuntarily exclaimed in admiration. Some people were even asking for Sun Mo’s name, wanting to treat him to a drink.

  Sun Mo’s words had truly touched the depths of their hearts.

  In the large restaurants, a few aged people sank into silence. Other than contemplating things, they were shocked because Priceless Advice was activated once again.

  Yes, the Priceless Advice erupted forth for the second time!

  When the golden light shone on their bodies, many people were thinking of the words ‘Some people are young and have strong aspirations, tempering themselves as they advance forward. As for others, they waste 100 years of their life and are worse off than a dog!’.

  Xiao Li’s face instantly turned black like the pig liver. Even the great teachers at the same table as him had embarrassed looks on their faces. Sun Mo’s Priceless Advice was already activated, so how could Xiao Li win an argument against him?

  This shouldn’t be the case.

  The activation of Priceless Advice was like using a cheat. However, they couldn’t help but admit that Sun Mo’s words were extremely well-spoken!

  This time around, the people surrounding Sun Mo were all stunned as well. This was especially so for people who had witnessed his performance for the first time. Xia Yuan, Zheng Hao, and Zhang Yanzong were all dumbfounded.

  The Black Doggy Sun’s arguing skill was truly worthy of its reputation!

  “Sorry!”

  Sun Mo berated. Letting a girl being humiliated before him was the manifestation of a man’s impotence.

  Chapter 532: Those Who Offend the Central Province Academy Must Be Eliminated Regardless of the Distance!

  The boss of the Copperbell Hotel was dumbstruck. He froze on the spot as he silently sensed the feeling of the golden light shining on him.

  Some of his thoughts that had been stored for many years emerged from the depths of his mind, causing him to deeply agree with Sun Mo’s words.

  “Is this the power of a great teacher halo?”

  The boss sighed ruefully. After that, he was astonished by Sun Mo’s overflowing talent. Sun Mo actually erupted forth with Priceless Advice twice. How great was he?

  Looking at the shocked faces in the restaurant, Lu Zhiruo complacently lifted her little chin.

  (Do you see it?)

  (My teacher is simply so impressive!)

  “Teacher Xiao, why don’t you apologize?”

  That Teacher Du spoke, persuading his friend in a low voice. (By continuing to argue, you would only make people look down on you even more. In any case, you would clearly lose if you argued with this fellow.)

  Under the influence of the great teacher halo, Xiao Li felt ashamed, self-reproach, resentment, and worry. All sorts of negative emotions gushed forth like the tides, almost causing him to suffocate.

  Because if he failed again, he would become a failure that lived an empty life, even unable to be compared to a dog!

  Xiao Li also knew he was wrong. He wanted to apologize, but Teacher Du’s persuasion caused him to swallow back the apology he was about to speak.

  (Even my friend doesn’t want to help me?)

  Xiao Li looked at Great Teacher Du. After that, he turned his head and glanced at the others. All of them wanted to persuade him to not quarrel anymore.

  Did they feel that he was in the wrong?

  No!

  They felt that there was no hope for him to win. Hence, they wanted him to quickly concede and admit defeat so he wouldn’t lose and be even more unsightly.

  “Haha!”

  Xiao Li self-mockingly laughed. After that, he turned and glanced at the surroundings. Indeed, everyone was looking at him like how they would look at a clown.

  (Hmph, this daddy won’t let you all get what you want. I will just be unyielding all the way until the end. Could it be that this fellow would really dare to attack?)

  Upon thinking of this, Xiao Li looked at Sun Mo and calmly smiled. “I’m merely worried that you guys would waste food. This was why I spoke out to persuade you all. Since it is a misunderstanding, I will just buy four more dishes and give them to you guys. Boss, get the menu here. This teacher here, you can choose any dishes that you want!

  “However, I’m not like you, someone so rich despite such a young age. Hence, try not to order dishes that are too expensive, alright?”

  These two sentences sounded peculiar. Moreover, some great teachers discovered how sinister Xiao Li was. Everyone came for the examination and was hoping for good luck. What do you mean by saying ‘four’ dishes?

  (Are you cursing Sun Mo to court death?)

  “We don’t need your dishes. Quickly apologize!”

  Sun Mo’s eyes glinted with hostility. (This man actually wants to play such tricks? Does he really think this daddy is ignorant?)

  “I’m giving you four dishes for free. Could it be that my sincerity is still not enough? Sir, why do you have to be so overbearing?”

  Xiao Li asked.

  “Do you feel that you are very smart?”

  Sun Mo grabbed his wooden blade.

  “What? From how you look, you even want to beat me up?”

  Xiao Li laughed mockingly. “Come on then, the one who is scared to act is a dog!”

  Xuanyuan Po didn’t say anything. He directly grabbed a stool and wanted to rush over. Luckily, Zheng Hao and Zhang Yanzong were there to hold him back.

  “Sun Mo forget it. I’ve remembered your help.”

  Gu Xiuxun whispered in a low voice, wanting to persuade him. “Let’s wait until the examination is over before we teach him a lesson!”

  Gu Xiuxun was the top graduate from the Myriad Daos Academy. How would she be afraid of trouble? If she was bullied, she would just bully the bully two or three times worse.

  However, when she saw Sun Mo taking the initiative to step out for her, Gu Xiuxun stopped caring about that Xiao Li. She only felt that Sun Mo looked very handsome doing this.

  (Is this the feeling of being protected by someone?)

  “Teacher Sun, if you are unhappy, just wait for the examination to end before teaching him a lesson!”

  When Xia Yuan looked at Xiao Li’s behavior, she understood he was determined to disgust Sun Mo. She hurriedly persuaded, “Don’t forget that you want to be a new rising star that can gain 3 stars in a single year. Don’t lose your qualifications to take the examination because of this minor incident.”

  What was a great teacher?

  Other than educating others, they had to be role models for their students too. Hence, the Saint Gate had a requirement for the usual behavior and speech of great teachers.

  Moreover, they were in the city where the examination took place. If they were caught fighting, they would definitely be banned from this examination.

  If the situation was serious, there was a possibility that the offenders would be stripped of their qualifications to attend the examination forever.

  “Teacher, he is already so old, yet he still wants to participate in the 2-star great teacher examination. It’s clear that he is mediocre with a single glance. You are still young, you shouldn’t let him delay your career!”

  Li Ziqi suddenly knelt and persuaded earnestly.

  “Mn?”

  The little sunny egg’s action directly stunned all the spectators here. What scene was this? Some experienced great teachers revealed looks of envy.

  This little girl was truly intelligent, caring, and was toxic enough with her words!

  Xiao Li definitely wouldn’t admit his mistake, and it was also not possible for Sun Mo to act. Hence, even if he continued to erupt forth with golden sentences, as long as Xiao Li didn’t apologize, it would indicate that Sun Mo was useless.

  However, when this little girl knelt to persuade Sun Mo, it directly gave Sun Mo a way out and even disparaged the middle-aged Xiao Li.

  It gave everyone the feeling that if Sun Mo compared himself to this rubbish, it would simply lower his own status.

  As expected, Xiao Li’s face flushed instantly. For a great teacher, other than being insulted by those of the same profession, the humiliation was even greater when a student viewed you in contempt.

  “Who did you say was mediocre?”

  Xiao Li roared in rage.

  “Shut up!”

  Sun Mo roared at Xiao Li. After that, he glanced at Li Ziqi and after his gaze swept past Gu Xiuxun, he looked at the students and smiled.

  “I know you guys are worried about me. But other than being a great teacher, I’m also Xiuxun’s face and the vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy!

  “As a great teacher, this is my bottomline. I can’t possibly not be moved after being ‘teased’. I have to defend my own honor!

  “As for Xiuxun, I cannot watch my friend be insulted and do nothing. I would rather be the one he hurt!

  “As the vice headmaster, I have my own responsibility. I’ve said this before, ‘those who offend the Central Province Academy must be eliminated regardless of the distance’. Teacher Gu is a teacher of our school, hence I have the responsibility to protect her!”

  After Sun Mo spoke, he grabbed a wine cup from the table and smashed it with all his strength toward Xiao Li.

  Hu~

  The wine cup whistled through the air, blasting forth like a bullet.

  Usually, Xiao Li would be able to block it. But today, because he had drunk too much wine, he wasn’t very clear-headed. His vision dazzled. Besides, Sun Mo’s toss was stable, accurate, and ruthless. The moment Xiao Li raised his hand to block, the wine cup already smashed into his head.

  Bang!

  The immense impact directly caused Xiao Li’s head to roll back as he fell onto the ground.

  Swish~

  Fresh blood flowed forth like a waterfall after a rainstorm, dripping down Xiao Li’s face and staining his robes.

  Hua!

  The entire scene was in an uproar. No one had expected Sun Mo to truly act. But very soon, they understood why. It was because of Sun Mo’s three sentences earlier.

  “I’ve long since said that this young man is a real man!”

  “An old fellow like that would always use sinister moves. I bet he didn’t expect to ram his foot into a steelboard. Serves him right!”

  “Ai, he is too impulsive. Do you guys think the law enforcement group of the Saint Gate is fake?”

  The great teachers around started discussing, and some were watching the show with no concern. Although a few of them were criticizing Sun Mo’s rationality, the majority of the people here were cheering for Sun Mo.

  That ‘those who offend the Central Province Academy must be eliminated regardless of the distance’ was simply too tyrannical and imposing! Even they, who were outsiders in this incident, were shocked by the words.

  “Teacher Xiao!”

  The people at his table started. Two of them went to help him up, but most of them didn’t move. Actually, they also felt that Xiao Li’s behavior was inappropriate. However, wasn’t this Sun Mo a little too audacious?

  Was he not afraid of his qualifications being stripped?

  Xiao Li’s resentment completely exploded!

  He hated people like Sun Mo who were life-winners. They were rich and had beautiful companions. In fact, Sun Mo even seemed to be the vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy. So why didn’t he just go and die?

  Being disdained and ridiculed under the gazes of the crowd, in addition to that wine cup smashing on his head at the end……all these factors completely ignited Xiao Li’s accumulated sullenness and anger through these 20 years. He then erupted like a volcano.

  “I’LL KILL YOU!”

  Xiao Li howled and rushed over.

  Sun Mo pulled out his blade and activated Divine Sight.

  40 years old, Ninth level of the divine force realm.

  Strength: 38

  Intellect: 36

  Agility: 38

  Will: 25. Declining! ……

  Potential value: Average.

  Note: Ordinary strength, ordinary luck, and ordinary life. He has no highlights at all, and none of his deeds are worthy to be mentioned.

  Note: If he went to take the examination with this mentality, he would definitely fail again.

  Hu~

  Xiao Li punched out, aiming for Sun Mo’s head.

  Normally, an expert at the ninth level of the divine force realm would be able to crush Sun Mo. But this Xiao Li was too drunk right now. His steps were shallow and he felt dizzy. Besides, his vision was red, affecting his sight. Hence, it was a foolish dream if he wanted to defeat Sun Mo.

  Sun Mo didn’t even activate ‘copy’. He directly flashed and appeared behind Xiao Li, slashing out with his wooden blade!

  Eighteen Words Order!

  Xiao Li did his best to dodge, but it was useless. He was like a banana leaf that was struck by the force of a rainstorm. The powerful impact caused his entire person to be flung through the air. After that, a thudding sound rang out as he smashed into a table.

  “Damn, his blade prowess is so swift!”

  Everyone was badly shocked.

  One must know that everyone here was a 1-star great teacher with relatively okay judgment abilities. The moment Sun Mo acted, everyone knew that he was a capable fellow!

  “Stop fighting or something would surely happen!”

  Gu Xiuxun pulled Sun Mo.

  Xiao Li’s friends also stood up. “This great teacher, if this continues, it would be bad for everyone. Please stop fighting!”

  Actually, he wasn’t able to continue making trouble because both his arms were already broken by Sun Mo.

  “Since you refuse to apologize, I shall break both your arms and let you understand that the people of my Central Province Academy aren’t someone you can bully just because you want to!”

  Sun Mo coldly snorted. “If you are unconvinced, you can look for me again when your injuries are recovered!”

  After stirring up so much commotion, they definitely had no more appetite for dinner. Gu Xiuxun and Xia Yuan pulled Sun Mo along as all of them left.

  “I hope the law enforcement group of the Saint Gate wouldn’t come and apprehend Teacher!”

  Li Ziqi prayed.

  “Don’t scare us. In any case, we weren’t the one who started this?”

  Ying Baiwu felt that the Saint Gate should be very fair and impartial.

  Sun Mo’s group departed, but the excitement of the spectators grew even higher. All of them were discussing who Sun Mo was. After that, those who recognized Sun Mo revealed his origins.

  “So, he is the One-Vote Sun who made the statement about dogs? No wonder he is so iron-headed!”

  “Do you think the Saint Gate’s law enforcement group would punish him?”

  “I don’t know, but for geniuses like him, they should have preferential treatment, right? In any case, that Xiao Li is surely going to suffer.”

  Just when everyone felt that this was just a minor conflict and Sun Mo should be fine, the law enforcement group went to look for Sun Mo directly the next morning.

  [1] The pronunciation for the chinese word for ‘four’ sounds like the chinese word for ‘death’
