ARGH!

  ARGH!

  ARGH!

  Mao Fang howled as a pair of palms clad in golden light smacked toward Sun Mo’s head unceasingly, akin to the wheels of a car.

  “I’m going all out!”

  Mao Fang did his best. He used his arms to forcefully block Sun Mo’s wooden blade. He then turned his wrist. With a clapping sound, he managed to grab the wooden blade.

  Sun Mo exerted force but wasn’t able to pull the blade back.

  “I can win!”

  Mao Fang’s eyes glowed brightly. He didn’t even need to think as his other hand directly shot out in reflex due to his 20 years experience of assiduous cultivation.

  Buddha Shocking the Sky.

  BOOM!

  The buddha palm didn’t come in contact with Sun Mo, but there was a burst of golden light that blasted toward Sun Mo.

  RUMBLE~

  Waves of qi exploded forth.

  Mao Fang’s palm strike was extremely quick and had the might to break the air barrier.

  “Excellent!”

  Xuanyuan Po roared as his body leaned forward. He wanted nothing more than to replace his teacher in the arena and retaliate against this attack.

  “Who are you supporting?”

  Lu Zhiruo’s lips twitched.

  Xuanyuan Po ignored her, he was fully focused on the arena.

  “Calm down!”

  Li Ziqi’s judgment was pretty good. She understood that this was the last-ditch struggle by Mao Fang. After all, her teacher still had many ultimate skills that he hadn’t used yet.

  “He should be using the Invulnerable Golden Body or dodge while using his clone to retaliate.”

  Ying Baiwu imagined herself in combat and tried to analyze the flows of battle.

  Yet, Sun Mo actually tossed his blade away.

  Hua~

  This scene caused all the spectators to exclaim in shock. A weapon was the last protection measure of a cultivator. Once they abandoned it, this meant that the situation was extremely dire for them.

  “Sun Mo is going to lose?”

  Those spectators who disliked Sun Mo instantly grew happy. Some even stood up and cheered for Mao Fang.

  Tong Yiming watched coldly and silently mused that this battle was about to end.

  As expected, at the next second, Sun Mo didn’t retreat but chose to advance instead as his strength erupted forth.

  Dharma Subduing the Devil.

  Sun Mo’s expression turned solemn with a hint of holiness within, like a buddha descending to the world. Everyone could see the image of a Buddha materializing behind him.

  After that, brimming with the aura of righteousness and mercy, Sun Mo’s evil-vanquishing fist clashed against Mao Fang.

  Bang!

  The waves of qi caused clouds of dust to be kicked up from the impact.

  Ah!

  Mao Fang screamed in agony as his entire body flew through the air before landing outside the arena with a bang. His left arm was twisted. Clearly, his bone was broken.

  The entire venue instantly fell silent. All the spectators who were unhappy about Sun Mo were dumbfounded. Wasn’t this retaliation a little too sharp and powerful?

  Sun Mo grabbed his wooden blade that he had tossed up in the air earlier. It just so nicely fell from the air at this moment. After he waved it once, he sheathed it again and placed the sheathe on his waist.

  “I’ve lost?”

  Mao Fang had a blank look on his face. The pain from his arm caused him to grit his teeth. After that, he revealed a bitter-looking smile.

  “Damn, it’s really a saint-tier cultivation art. I can’t win against that!”

  His Buddha Mercy Hand’s tier was already so goddamn high, and the might it produced was also so goddamn strong, but he still wasn’t able to produce the illusory image of a Buddha when he attacked.

  “Teacher Mao, are you okay?”

  Sun Mo appeared at the edge of the arena.

  “I’ve lost!”

  Mao Fang sighed, completely convinced by his loss. For his last response, regardless of defending head-on or attacking, everything was done perfectly.

  If he wanted to blame something, he could only blame Sun Mo for being a level higher.

  (Eh, alright. Maybe he’s not just a level higher!)

  “Wait a minute!”

  Seeing that Mao Fang wasn’t too injured, he wasn’t in a hurry to get down. He turned his head and snapped his finger.

  Pak!

  The audience didn’t understand his action, but in Sun Mo’s vision, the over 30 golden pages all started flying toward him like swallows flying north and compiled themselves into a golden book.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations on obtaining the Buddha Mercy Hand. It is an average-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. Proficiency level: elementary-grade.”

  “.……”

  After seeing the introduction, Sun Mo was speechless. (You are actually a liar.)

  (Oh, was that a psychological battle?)

  Originally, Sun Mo was still feeling anticipation that he would be able to gain a superior-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. He didn’t expect this at all. (Forget it, it is better than nothing.)

  “Learn it!”

  Sun Mo instructed and leaped off the stage as he walked toward Mao Fang.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, you’ve learned the Buddha Mercy Hand!”

  As the sound of the system’s congratulations rang out, the image of a buddha with palms bigger than its head appeared immediately in Sun Mo’s mind. It unleashed various palm strikes.

  Gradually, the palm imprints grew in number, reaching a hundred, a thousand, and finally reverting back to two!

  “What do you want to do?”

  Mao Fang felt a little flustered. He felt that Sun Mo’s gaze was very sharp as though he could see all his secrets.

  “Sun Mo is the victor for this round!”

  Tong Yiming announced, not surprised by this result at all. At the same time, the doctor started to jog over, preparing to treat Mao Fang.

  “Bear with it a little, I will help you set your bone.”

  Sun Mo spoke and held Mao Fang’s hand. It wasn’t that he wanted to show off the ancient massaging technique, but rather, if he didn’t treat Mao Fang, Mao Fang would need at least three months to heal completely. Besides, if the doctor’s standard wasn’t that good, there might even be hidden injuries remaining.

  After all, Mao Fang was injured by a peerless saint-tier cultivation art. Although it appeared like a simple injury on the surface, in truth, the bones in his entire arm were fractured. Some powder-like bone splinters were piercing into his muscles.

  “Ah?”

  Mao Fang had also heard of Sun Mo’s famous title as God Hands but had never witnessed it in action before. Hence, he didn’t really believe in Sun Mo and would rather trust the treatment of a proper doctor.

  Naturally, with regard to Sun Mo’s willingness to treat him, Mao Fang still felt very grateful. After all, there was basically no need for Sun Mo to do this.

  Sadly, none of the doctors cared about Mao Fang’s thoughts.

  “Teacher Sun, I’ve long since heard about your wondrous technique, God Hands. Now I can use this chance to witness it!”

  The leader of the doctors was an old man with a white beard. He was looking joyfully at Sun Mo.

  “I’ve overstepped my bounds!”

  Sun Mo smiled and bowed slightly. After all, by doing this, others might think that he didn’t trust the skills of the doctors.

  “Teacher Sun is worrying too much!”

  The old man chortled. He wasn’t that petty. After that, he instructed his team members, “All of you are to observe seriously!”

  Sun Mo executed the bone setting technique. Worrying that he might cause some commotion, he didn’t summon the genie. However, his grandmaster-level proficiency was more than enough for this.

  The old doctor’s name was Ma Zhang. As he observed, his original calm expression instantly turned to one of shock. His hand that was stroking his beard suddenly pulled out a few strands of hair.

  “This method……”

  Ma Zhang bent over, wanting to see it more clearly. He then moved forward a little more.

  The team members, who were originally not too happy, knew that Sun Mo’s method had ignited Grandmaster Ma’s interest. They then opened their eyes wide and focused carefully, deeply afraid of missing out on any details.

  “Everyone, how much longer do you need?”

  Tong Yiming stood on the stage and asked. He didn’t wish to delay the progress of the examination.

  “Teacher Sun?”

  Ma Zhang looked toward Sun Mo.

  “It should be able to move now.”

  Sun Mo supported Mao Fang’s arm and nodded to Tong Yiming with a look of thanks.

  “Let’s treat the arm in the corridor.” Ma Zhang suggested.

  There was a medical room in the battle dojo, but for injuries like broken bones, it was the best to limit the movement of the injured person. Hence, they all moved there.

  “Sure!”

  Sun Mo didn’t mind. He only needed to use the bone setting technique to cure it. As for the swelling muscles, Sun Mo could have used the muscleforge technique to restore them. However, he couldn’t be bothered to waste his spirit qi.

  Five minutes later, Sun Mo retracted his arm.

  “Eh? Teacher Sun, is there a problem?”

  A young doctor’s eyes flashed when he saw Sun Mo stopping. If Sun Mo wasn’t able to treat Mao Fang, he could help him out. By doing so, he would be able to show his skill before Grandmaster Ma and gain his appreciation.

  “No problem at all. The treatment is done.”

  Sun Mo stood up. “Where can I wash my hands?”

  “Over there, turn left at the corner. There’s a toilet there.”

  After Ma Zhang spoke, he didn’t even lift his head as he continued staring at Mao Fang’s arm. In fact, he even squatted beside Mao Fang and used his finger to touch Mao Fang’s arm, inspecting it inch by inch.

  “The treatment is already completed?”

  “There’s no need for bandages? Or a plaster cast or split to set the bones correctly in place?”

  “There’s also no need for pain relief medication?!”

  The few young doctors were whispering to each other.

  “W……would there be any hidden damage?”

  Mao Fang was very nervous. If there were no problems, why would the team of doctors be so cautious?

  “Incredible, too incredible! This is as though this arm has never been injured before!”

  Ma Zhang mumbled as a look of shock appeared on his face.

  Such a method was truly too wondrous.

  After that, Ma Zhang asked, “Little Six, what do you think?”

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Ma Zhang +100. Friendly (100/1,000).

  The young man named Little Six was Ma Zhang’s personal student.

  “Eh!”

  Little Six had a dumbfounded look on his face. (What can I say? I didn’t even look at it. That Sun Mo finished the treatment even quicker than my first experience in a brothel.)

  “Sigh, such a chance is extremely rare!”

  Ma Zhang shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.

  If one wanted to become an outstanding doctor, one mustn’t miss out on any chance to learn.

  “Teacher, I know my mistake now!”

  Little Six apologized.

  “During these ten days, pay more attention to this arm and record the details down!”

  After Ma Zhang instructed, he glanced at Mao Fang. “Don’t worry. Sun Mo’s God Hands is worthy of their reputation. Your arm is perfectly healed.”

  “For real?”

  Mao Fang had a joyful look on his face. He subconsciously did two palm strikes and instantly felt vigorous.

  Si~

  Upon seeing this scene, all the young doctors finally understood how impressive Sun Mo was. If an ordinary person broke their arm, even if it was cured, they wouldn’t dare to exert so much force immediately.

  “Why do I feel like I have even more strength?”

  Mao Fang was puzzled, thinking that it might be an illusion.

  Actually, when Sun Mo was connecting his broken energy channels, he also connected those broken energy channels that Mao Fang had damaged from practicing the Buddha Mercy Hand.

  With more energy channels, the flow of spirit qi would be greater. The might produced would naturally be enhanced.

  Ma Zhang started but he soon deduced the reason. He couldn’t help but remind Mao Fang, “If you want to become even stronger, you should consult Teacher Sun!”

  “Mn, Mn!”

  Being able to be the leader of the doctor team in a 2-star great teacher examination, Ma Zhang was at the very least a 5-star great teacher. Hence, Mao Fang remembered his words.

  “Me and Sun Mo……the relationship between us can be considered as getting acquainted with each other after fighting, right? There shouldn’t be any difficulty if I wished to consult him.”

  Mao Fang pondered.

  “Teacher Sun is a kind person. Without him, your broken arm would need at least 5 months to heal!”

  After Ma Zhang spoke, he placed his hands behind his back and departed.

  Treating such an injury was easy. If it wasn’t for him being curious to see Sun Mo taking action, he would have let the other doctors take over.

  Naturally, his deduction wasn’t wrong. After all, Sun Mo wasn’t a professional doctor and didn’t know much about medicine. The duration of three months Sun Mo had guessed earlier was just an approximate guess.

  “I understand!”

  Mao Fang wasn’t someone who didn’t know what’s good for him.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Mao Fang +200. Friendly (210/1,000).

  After Sun Mo finished here, he went back to the resting area. After the first round was completed, he entered the waiting zone and prepared to head up the arena for the second time.

  Not long later, Li Ziqi and the others ran over.

  “Teacher, congratulations to you in advance on obtaining your second victory!”

  As the eldest martial sister, Li Ziqi represented everyone to send their congratulations.

  “Teacher, eat a melon!”

  Lu Zhiruo took out a fat and delicious-looking piece of watermelon. This was something she had kept specially for her teacher.

  “I wonder who is the opponent for the second round?”

  Tantai Yutang was curious. He hoped to see a worthy opponent.

  Just when Sun Mo wanted to speak, the sound of the notification rang out in his ear.

  Chapter 567: You Are Not Even Giving Me a Chance to Be Your Simp?

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, you’ve obtained the recognition of a major character. Reward: 1x black-iron treasure chest.”

  Sun Mo started. This treasure chest was clearly from Ma Zhang. He didn’t expect Ma Zhang’s evaluation of the ancient massaging technique to be so high.

  Finally, the ancient massaging technique obtained the approval of a great doctor.

  “In the past, people only knew how to marvel and admire it, but they had no idea of its real value and meaning.” The system spoke in pride, “The gift I gave out would of course be extremely impressive.”

  “What do you guys think about my combat earlier?”

  Sun Mo asked his six personal disciples. At the same time, he patted Lu Zhiruo’s head and instructed mentally, “Open the treasure chest!”

  Swish~

  The treasure chest opened, leaving behind a skill book.

  It was the detailed information about 200 types of darkness ferocious beasts, and the proficiency level was at the elementary-grade. This reward wasn’t too good, but considering that it came from a black-iron treasure chest, it wasn’t bad either.

  “The palm strikes of Mao Fang are quite interesting. I wish to fight a round against him.”

  Xuanyuan Po’s answer matched his style very much.

  “Eh? We needed to pay attention to the combat?”

  Lu Zhiruo, who was currently eating melons, froze. After that, she started to rack her brains to think of an answer.

  (Oh no, I was busy admiring Teacher’s elegant postures when he fought earlier and didn’t observe the combat closely. What should I do now?)

  The papaya girl turned her pleading gaze to Li Ziqi.

  (Eldest martial sister, save me!)

  “Mao Fang’s basic skills are quite sturdy. He was going all-out and extremely vigorous. However, he wasn’t adaptable enough to improvise.”

  Li Ziqi analyzed.

  “That’s right.”

  Sun Mo nodded. “Mao Fang belongs to the type of people who have achievements because of their hard work. However, he has no spirituality and didn’t know how to improvise. It can be said that he has no creativity as well. His attacking style wouldn’t exceed your imaginations.”

  “Teacher is so impressive!”

  Lu Zhiruo wholeheartedly praised.

  Jiang Leng nodded. Even Tantai Yutang revealed a look of serious contemplation as he truly felt a hint of admiration for Sun Mo.

  “Teacher, is this the reason why you didn’t choose to use the Invulnerable Golden Body or your clone to retaliate?” Ying Baiwu asked, “Are you purposefully not letting the people know your trump cards?”

  “No!”

  Sun Mo shook his head.

  “Then, why?”

  The iron-headed girl was puzzled.

  “I’m using this chance to test my defensive prowess as well as the extreme limit of the Dharma Skyshock Fist, so I can collect accurate data.”

  Sun Mo smiled. “Don’t learn this from me. The most perfect response is to use Universe Formless Clone Technique. By doing so, I would be in an undefeatable position. Even if my retaliation failed, I wouldn’t be injured.”

  Ying Baiwu was enlightened.

  “This is an individual’s combat style. Baiwu, you don’t have to learn it.”

  Sun Mo mentally mused. (As an iron-headed girl, you would instantly win just by rushing your opponents.)

  Zhang Yanzong, who was at the side, was also listening seriously. These words also allowed him to have a great revelation.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Zhang Yanzong +100. Respect (1,900/10,000).

  Zhang Hao didn’t come over because Xia Yuan was fighting now.

  A moment later, Xia Yuan returned to the resting area.

  “Teacher Xia, how is it?”

  Sun Mo executed Divine Sight and observed Xia Yuan’s situation.

  “I won through a fluke.”

  Xia Yuan’s expression was a little heavy. Only by being in the top 1,000 would they be qualified to enter the next test, which was the personal students battle. However, she estimated that she might not be able to persist until then.

  “Teacher Xia, relax your emotions and don’t have such a look on your face. You would scare all your luck away.”

  Sun Mo consoled.

  “Mn!”

  Xia Yuan squeezed out a smile.

  In the battle dojo, there were occasional bouts of cheering and clapping because some geniuses finally displayed their skills.

  Shan Shi, who had provoked Sun Mo, didn’t even move half a step from his original location as he instantly destroyed his opponent with a finger, causing his opponent to faint directly. Such battle prowess caused many examinees to feel fear. Many prayed to not meet him in the next round.

  Because Shan Shi originated from a small place, after that battle, he immediately shot to fame and became the largest dark horse in this competition.

  Xie Cang, Bai Shuang, and the examinees from ‘A’ grade schools and above won easily. They were not only extremely knowledgeable, but their combat strength was also so strong that it was terrifying. They were simply powerful.

  Sun Mo watched a few rounds and knew that with the current strength of the Central Province Academy, let alone rising to the ranks of the Nine Greats, they wouldn’t even be able to ascend to the ‘A’ rank.

  The difference was too great.

  (By this year’s end, let’s try to ascend to the ‘B’ grade first!)

  The second round of the Great Teachers Battle lasted all the way until afternoon. However, as half of the examinees were eliminated, the progress of the following segments was much quicker.

  Examinees who had been eliminated in the second round could go to the field to draw lots so they could fight in the loser brackets. They still had a chance remaining.

  Gu Xiuxun’s turn was nearer to the front. Hence, she didn’t eat lunch. If she fought with a full belly, it would affect her combat strength.

  At 2.15 p.m, it was the masochist’s turn to fight. Her luck was a little bad as she encountered a graduate from an ‘A’ grade school.

  This battle was a little difficult. At the price of five broken ribs, Gu Xiuxun finally obtained victory by knocking out her opponent.

  As Tong Yiming announced the end of the fight, the doctors immediately rushed over.

  “Don’t move recklessly or your injuries might worsen!”

  Little Six was the first to rush over. He directly supported Gu Xiuxun by her arm, his expression heavy.

  (Hmph, there’s no way I will let anyone snatch such a beautiful patient away from me.)

  Honestly speaking, when Gu Xiuxun first went up the stage, Little Six already took a fancy to her. How could treating those smelly males be comparable to treating a beauty?

  If he somehow managed to get her good will, a relationship might even develop between them.

  (I’m already 25. It’s time to get married!)

  After Little Six looked at Gu Xiuxun, he felt that her beautiful face and figure suited his taste. This was especially so for her long fair legs. They were definitely fabulous to the extreme.

  (If her temper was a little better……alright nevermind, even if her temper was a little worse compared to now, I can still endure it.)

  (Is my expression too solemn? Would it be better if I reveal an amicable smile instead?”

  When Little Six was pondering on how to increase his charm, he saw Gu Xiuxun’s body twisting away, leaving his grab.

  “Eh?”

  Little Six froze.

  “Sorry, I will let my friend treat me!”

  After Gu Xiuxun finished speaking, she quickly left.

  She couldn’t fully trust the medical skills of these young doctors. Her opponent was clearly heavily injured, yet this fellow had rushed toward her instead of her opponent. There was a problem with his medical ethics!

  (I know I’m beautiful, but I don’t like simps!)

  “Your injury is very serious, It’s better to let us professional doctors treat it. Besides, I’m the personal student of Ma Zhang, Great Teacher Ma!”

  Little Six introduced himself with intense pride on his face.

  Because of the title ‘professional doctor’, he had a very high status in upper society. He would receive many gazes of admiration and praise.

  “Good, please quickly treat my opponent then!”

  Gu Xiuxun didn’t even turn her head. When she saw Sun Mo appearing at the preparation area to meet her, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

  “Teacher Sun!”

  Upon hearing this, Little Six’s heart violently thumped. He knew that he had fallen in love. Gu Xiuxun’s smile was like the peach blossoms during summer. It had the aura of a youthful girl and also a hint of grassy fragrance from May. The seeds of love began to germinate in Little Six’s heart.

  But an instant later, Little Six fell out of love again.

  The smile on the girl’s face wasn’t for him!

  “My surname is ‘Sun’ as well!”

  Looking at Gu Xiuxun’s beautiful back, he felt like he had just swallowed charred and damp rice.

  “Little Six, why are you in a daze? Quickly come and treat the injured!”

  One of his companions urged. ……

  “Sun Mo, I would have to trouble you.”

  Gu Xiuxun felt embarrassed.

  “You are treating me like an outsider by saying this!”

  Sun Mo reproached. One of his hands held the masochist by the arm, supporting her.

  A line of sweat dotted the masochist’s forehead. Hence, Sun Mo took out a handkerchief to wipe it away for her.

  Gu Xiuxun immediately blushed because their interactions were too intimate.

  In the medical room, Sun Mo helped Gu Xiuxun to set her bones and reduce the swelling. Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo waited at the side.

  “Xiuxun, your manner of fighting was too risky just now.”

  Sun Mo spoke, “Given your strength, if you stabilize your attacks and entangle him for a little longer, you would still be able to win.”

  It was just like the saying, ‘the one outside the situation would always be able to see things clearer.’

  “I dared to fight like this because I have you as my backing!”

  Gu Xiuxun laughed, masking the awkwardness in her heart. Because her ribs were broken, she had to remove her clothes so Sun Mo could set the bones. Whatever that mustn’t be easily seen had been seen by Sun Mo.

  Naturally, this was also the reason why Gu Xiuxun had refused to let Little Six and his companions treat her.

  (A bunch of smelly males, they don’t even need to think about touching a finger of mine!)

  (Naturally, Sun Mo is an exception because he is the fiance of Sis An. He cannot be considered an outsider.)

  After the initial embarrassment, as Sun Mo’s hands pressed on her body, Gu Xiuxun suddenly experienced an excitement that was tough to describe.

  Sun Mo started. After that, he shook his head and persuaded, “You better not fight in such a risky manner anymore.”

  “Teacher, I have brought the spring water beauty medicine packet and even rented a bath near the school. How about we let Teacher Gu soak in the medicine bath before the next round starts?”

  The little sunny egg asked.

  The carriage was already prepared and it was waiting for them outside the school’s entrance.

  Naturally, to arrange this at such a short timing, the little sunny egg had paid three times the price to the gatekeeper of the Westmountain Academy.

  Gu Xiuxun left. Not long later, Tong Yiming read out Sun Mo’s name.

  “#178 Sun Mo, ……”

  Tong Yiming suddenly paused.

  The originally clamorous battle dojo immediately fell silent after the audience heard Sun Mo’s name. After all, Sun Mo was a popular person, and everyone wished to know who his opponent was. However, the main examiner kept them in suspense.

  Being true to his conscience, Tong Yiming didn’t do this intentionally. However, he did feel some regret after he saw the name of Sun Mo’s opponent. For this next fight, at least a genius would be eliminated.

  However, very soon later, Tong Yiming felt anticipation rising in his heart. How strong was Sun Mo exactly? This would be a very good test.

  If he won, his fame would explode even greater. If he lost, he would revert to his original state, an ordinary new genius.

  “Who is it exactly? Quickly read the name out!”

  “What’s going on?”

  “I’m so anxious that I feel constipated!”

  Everyone urged.

  In the preparation area, many examinees clenched their buttholes and subconsciously prayed for it to not be them.

  “Damn, quickly read my name out!”

  Shan Shi stood up and was impatiently waiting to crush Sun Mo. He wanted to trample on Sun Mo to gain fame after a single battle.
