BANG!

  Sun Mo dodged the giant hammer and slashed his wooden blade at the giant’s body. As a result, motes of golden light emitted from its head, but no golden pages were formed.

  “Is my Immemorial Vairocana’s level too low or is it because spiritual beasts belonged to a lifeform that’s invulnerable to the effects of Immemorial Vairocana?”

  Sun Mo analyzed, feeling a little disappointed because the cultivation art of this ancient giant most probably was an ancient cultivation art that had been lost in time.

  Biggy basically ignored Sun Mo’s attacks. It treated them like Sun Mo helping it to scratch its itch. When its battle hammer missed, it waved its fist again and punched toward Sun Mo.

  Hu~

  Before its fist arrived, a powerful gust of wind already blew over, causing Sun Mo’s hair and robes to be blown backward.

  “What a strong fist!”

  Sun Mo’s heart silently shuddered. Just when he wanted to use the Wind King Divine Steps to dodge, Biggy’s fist suddenly disappeared with a flash and reappeared directly before Sun Mo at the next instant.

  Bang!

  Sun Mo was like a baseball being smacked full force by a bat. He flew through the air, emitting a whistling noise.

  “Is Sun Mo going to lose?”

  Huala~ Many spectators stood up nervously. This scene was a little too shocking.

  Just when Sun Mo was about to leave the arena, the illusory figure of a buddha appeared behind him and blasted forth with a palm strike that landed on his back. The powerful force propelled him back into the arena.

  “Ruthless enough!”

  The main examiner’s eyes brightened. He didn’t expect Sun Mo to actually use a self-injury method to return to the arena.

  Biggy rushed forth wildly and appeared at the edge of the arena. After it judged Sun Mo’s landing point, it blasted out with its battle hammer.

  Pak! Pak!

  Sun Mo’s legs tapped the ground repeatedly, avoiding the attack. After that, he hurriedly lengthened the distance between them with Biggy chasing after him closely. The troublesome thing was that its fists would always appear suddenly before him. This was enough to cause Sun Mo’s judgment to be inaccurate.

  Pu!

  Although he had activated Invulnerable Golden Body earlier, he still took damage from that powerful strike earlier.

  “Seems like this is as far as Sun Mo can go!”

  “There’s basically no suspense. That giant is too strong.”

  “However, he can feel proud even in his defeat if he loses to Bai Shuang.”

  The examinees discussed. Sun Mo was against a giant. Although he was able to hit it occasionally, the amount of damage he caused was not great. But once Biggy hit him, he would definitely be pulverized.

  Honestly speaking, Sun Mo hadn’t been defeated yet. He completely depended on the Wind King Divine Step and Invulnerable Golden Body to forcefully drag things out.

  “Teacher is about to lose.”

  Tantai Yutang shook his head. It was like a muscular dude, who went to the gym for body lifting, wanting to snatch cake from a three-year-old kid. It was just a matter of time before the muscular dude succeeded.

  “Can you shut your crow’s mouth?”

  Li Ziqi and Ying Baiwu complained.

  “Damn, why was I not lucky enough to find such a powerful spiritual beast?”

  Sun Mo felt depressed. If speaking of their own strength, although Bai Shuang was two levels higher than him in terms of cultivation base, he could still win against her. However, the strength of a spiritual controller lay in their spiritual beasts.

  Even if a child summoned a divine beast and defeated Sun Mo, no one would feel the child was cheating. This was because this was how spiritual controllers fight.

  Not convinced?

  You could go and summon another divine beast to fight for you then.

  Before this, because Sun Mo possessed too many peerless saint-tier cultivation arts, even when his art of spiritual control was at the grandmaster-level, he didn’t treat it seriously. But through this battle, he finally truly understood how strong a spiritual controller could be.

  Spiritual controllers were so strong that they could crush your head with no effort!

  “Little Silver, are you around? If you are here, say something!”

  Sun Mo recalled his eight-gate cloud. That was a strange lifeform ranked tenth on the darkness species listing. No matter what, it should be stronger than this giant, right?

  “Ji!”

  The silver cloud in the shape of the eight-trigrams was currently relaxing in the airspace above the Westmountain Academy.

  “Can you defeat it?”

  Sun Mo asked.

  “Eh? I must have heard wrongly. I suddenly felt as though a phantom spoke to me? Also, master, I believe that no matter what enemy you faced, you would definitely be able to defeat them. You must not make me disappointed, okay? If I’m disappointed, I might choose to leave home and stay somewhere else.”

  The eight-gate cloud muttered to itself. “Aiya, I’m going to chase after the stars and the moon.”

  “.……”

  A thousand grass mud horses immediately ran through Sun Mo’s heart. (Are you threatening me? You are definitely threatening me, right?)

  “You still want to leave home? Do you believe that I’ll break your leg?”

  “I’m a cloud, I don’t have legs!’

  Little Silver suspected that its master’s head might have been injured.

  “Aiya, my head is injured. I’ve forgotten how to use the ancient massaging technique. Hence, I won’t be able to massage you anymore.”

  Because of the contract, Sun Mo could communicate telepathically with Little Silver. Moreover, after learning the Freedom Proof, the connection between him and Little Silver had become clearer and tighter.

  “.……”

  Little Silver felt a little excited. Was this the threatening method used by villains in novels that it read? It was said that the pretty daughters of many small families were eaten up by bullies like this.

  “Alright, stop jestering around!”

  Sun Mo laughed. “Even if you can defeat it, I won’t allow you to act.”

  What a joke. His spiritual beast was the eight-gate cloud, an extremely rare mysterious species of darkness. If it was revealed, he could just wait for someone to plunder it away.

  Sun Mo understood the logic of getting into trouble on account of a cherished item.

  “What would you do then? Forfeit?”

  Little Silver was very curious. Honestly speaking, it didn’t feel that Sun Mo could defeat the spirit of the ancient giant. Because, according to combat strength, this Biggy was qualified to be the hegemon that governed an area even if it was in the Darkness Continent.

  “Forfeit? In my dictionary, such a word doesn’t exist!”

  As Sun Mo spoke, he suddenly turned to Biggy. His eyes flashed, and there was a hint of platinum glow that soon faded away.

  Pak!

  Biggy’s body was as though it was petrified by a medusa’s gaze. It directly froze. In its heart, there seemed to be something broken off.

  Its memory of how it first met Bai Shuang, how they got to know each other, as well as their period of interaction, were all sprayed out from its mind like water from a geyser.

  (NO!)

  (I don’t want the memories to leave me!)

  Roar!

  Biggy suddenly howled in rage and its expression turned malevolent.

  The arena trembled. Bai Shuang was also stunned, feeling extremely agitated. Countless memories floated up her mind, and it felt like she had lost something.

  To other opponents, if you were stunned for one or two seconds, nothing significant might happen. But to Sun Mo, it was enough for him to kill Bai Shuang three times.

  Swish~

  After Sun Mo used the Freedom Proof, he immediately rushed to Bai Shuang. He had guessed that after he used the divine language of spiritual control, an unexpected incident might occur for Bai Shuang.

  She might be angered or stunned or had no change to her emotions……or maybe even suffer a spiritual beast backlash.

  Fortunately, Sun Mo guessed correctly and immediately unleashed the appropriate response. He didn’t even waste a blink worth of time.

  His wooden blade cut toward Bai Shuang’s head. When she regained her senses from the daze that resulted from her complex memories surging forth, panic could be seen in her eyes.

  No one wanted to die.

  However, Bai Shuang wasn’t able to avoid this strike in time. At the next instant, her will collapsed. She actually gave up on seeking survival, deciding to go with her fate.

  “Teacher Sun, show mercy!”

  Liang Hongda shouted.

  The main examiner directly rushed out, wanting to stop Sun Mo. This was because his opponent was Bai Shuang. If she died, it would be considered an extremely extremely major loss to the spiritual controller world.

  Naturally, if the condition was swapped, the main examiner would act as well.

  Other than for the sake of hosting the competition and judging victory and defeat, they also had the responsibility to protect the examinees.

  Sun Mo frowned when he saw Bai Shuang’s reaction. His wrist slackened a little, causing his wooden blade to dip down an inch. The wooden blade then struck her face instead of her head.

  Bang!

  Bai Shuang was flung through the air and landed off the stage.

  Because Sun Mo controlled his strength well, Bai Shuang’s head wasn’t crushed. However, half of her face was swollen as though she had just gained a kilogram of fat.

  The entire scene fell silent, and all the audiences had stunned looks on their faces.

  That giant, which was Bai Shuang’s spiritual beast, clearly possessed the advantage earlier. Why did she suddenly lose in the blink of an eye?

  Were there some secrets in the dark?

  This was basically impossible. Firstly, even if they ignored the fact that Bai Shuang and Sun Mo didn’t get along, it was clear from their bet that none of them would be willing to go easy on the other.

  “Sun Mo must have done something.”

  The examinees were extremely curious, especially so for those who focused on the art of spiritual control. They wanted nothing more than to tug Sun Mo’s mouth and force him to reveal the secret.

  “Many thanks Teacher Sun for showing mercy!”

  The main examiner expressed his thanks.

  “I have never planned to kill.”

  Sun Mo shrugged. By killing Bai Shuang, other than offending a powerful school like the Skyraise Academy, he would definitely leave behind a reputation of being someone extremely ruthless. The gains didn’t make up for the losses.

  Naturally, it wasn’t that Sun Mo was afraid of trouble. He didn’t kill Bai Shuang simply because he had never thought about killing her before.

  The main examiner clasped his fists together to express thanks and retreated.

  Sun Mo was the victor. He had the authority to enjoy the glory of this moment.

  “Oh yay, teacher has won!”

  The papaya girl cheered as she applauded swiftly.

  “This can work too?”

  Tantai Yutang was speechless. He glanced at Li Ziqi. “Do you know what teacher has done?”

  From the sickly invalid’s point of view, their teacher had a closer relationship to Li Ziqi. Hence, the little sunny egg definitely would know his secret.

  “Tantai Yutang, I’m warning you. Teacher treats all of us equally. What I know, you can learn it too. Teacher wouldn’t withhold anything from any of us or show favoritism.”

  Li Ziqi had a strict expression and a fierce look in her eyes.

  “Tantai, you are in the wrong.”

  Even the combat addict couldn’t bear to see this and berated Tantai Yutang.

  Tantai Yutang also understood that he was in the wrong and hurriedly apologized, “Sorry, I’ve misspoken.”

  “Teacher Bai, although you repeatedly provoked me by saying that you want to teach me a lesson, I actually admire you very much. I’m very impressed with your strength. However, at the very last moment earlier, you actually gave up. This really caused me to be very disappointed.”

  Sun Mo looked at the woman sitting on the ground and shook his head. “Even the joy that comes from defeating you is diminished by half.”

  Bai Shuang’s gaze dimmed. She knew that she was able to survive because Sun Mo had shown mercy.

  “Teacher Bai, did you feel that Gu Qingyan self-exiled to the Darkness Continent because he felt discouraged and that this is a form of running away? To me, this is an indicator that he wasn’t willing to accept defeat. Can I ask you how many people are willing to live in the adverse living conditions of the Darkness Continent for several years?”

  Sun Mo counter-asked.

  “.……”

  Bai Shuang sank into contemplation.

  “You saw Gu Qingyan’s defeat, but you didn’t see his growth.” Sun Mo guided. “Such growth doesn’t refer to a growth in strength. Rather, it’s his will and thinking!

  “If it was you who was in that predicament at the point of demise, would you sit there and wait for death?”

  “Naturally not!” Bai Shuang roared. Right now, she felt humiliated. Moreover, she also understood that she wasn’t as powerful as she thought she was.

  “Very good. I anticipate our next battle. I want to fight you again after you matured. Also, I want to say that Gu Qingyan’s self-exile makes me admire him.”

  Sun Mo kept his blade. Very good, the opponent he should be facing next round was Shan Shi.

  Chapter 591: Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art, Half-step Grandmaster!

  “Teacher Sun. I, Bai Shuang, have benefitted from your guidance!”

  As Bai Shuang spoke, she sat up straight and lowered her head in a bow.

  Other than feeling gratitude for Sun Mo’s guidance, she also felt gratitude for Sun Mo’s mercy in not killing her.

  Naturally, she now understood that her junior school brother might have gone to the Darkness Continent to temper and improve himself so he could fight against Sun Mo in the future.

  Her junior school brother might have felt discouraged before, but he definitely didn’t give up.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Bai Shuang +100. Prestige connection unlocked. Friendly (100/1,000).

  Hua~

  Upon seeing this scene, the audience exclaimed in shock.

  One must know that Bai Shuang was one of the top graduates from the Skyraise Academy. Her strength and will were both very outstanding. Hence, defeating such a person to the point where they were completely convinced was much more difficult than merely defeating them.

  Yet, Sun Mo had achieved this.

  For a time, many streams of favorable impression points appeared in Sun Mo’s vision.

  “Teacher Bai, you don’t have to be overly courteous.”

  Sun Mo didn’t need her thanks. It was enough that she had contributed favorable impression points.

  “Teacher Sun, can I be so impudent as to ask you a question?”

  Bai Shuang looked at the ancient giant spirit on the stage. Right now, she discovered that her spiritual contract with it had been broken.

  “Please ask!”

  Sun Mo snapped his finger.

  Pak!

  The floating golden pages immediately flew over and compiled themselves into a book.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations on obtaining [Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art]. Proficiency level: entry-level!”

  “Note: This cultivation art is a peerless-grade saint-tier one. It can unleash the spirit qi in your body in the form of spirit waves.”

  “Its advantage is that it is pithy and fast. The cultivation process isn’t complicated. However, its flaw is that when it faces off against absolute might, it is inferior to some peerless saint-tier cultivation arts!”

  After reading the introduction, Sun Mo felt like he had just picked up a treasure. This cultivation art was definitely good news to those klutzes.

  For people like Li Ziqi with bad body coordination, if they cultivated this art, they would be able to avoid their greatest disadvantages.

  To gain 70% mastery of this cultivation art, only meditation was needed.

  Because Sun Mo had grasped multiple high-level cultivation arts, he had an innate understanding of its ‘attacking’ form.

  Spirit qi was the root existence of all cultivation. Hence, all subjects taught in school used spirit qi as the basis.

  Could spirit qi be released externally to attack?

  Yes, it could, but the amount of might produced was too low.

  What was the use of cultivation arts?

  If spirit qi was the gas, cultivation arts would be the engine. A good cultivation art was equal to a good engine and could increase the ignition value of the gas, allowing gas of the same level to produce more motive power through the engine.

  Look at the F1 competition and you would understand how important a good engine was to a racing car. Its importance was equal to a heart.

  The so-called divine arts were simply things that allowed one to use the least amount of spirit qi to generate the greatest degree of destructive might.

  All cultivation arts unleashed might through various methods. The Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art was no exception, but it eliminated the process of ‘cultivating the moves’ and could directly convert spirit qi into spirit waves that could be unleashed.

  (Wait a minute, who set the rule that cultivation arts have to have moves in them?)

  Upon thinking of this, there seemed to be a lightning flash in Sun Mo’s mind. He might have a sudden inspiration.

  What was the purpose of training in cultivation arts?

  To become stronger, to increase one’s martial strength? If this goal could be achieved, even if there were no moves, there was no problem, right?

  How power was released and obtained could be said to be very varied.

  Sun Mo felt that he had discovered a new ground, but just when he wanted to continue thinking deeper, someone called out to him.

  He turned his head and saw the main examiner.

  “Teacher Bai is waiting for your answer!”

  The main examiner clearly saw that Sun Mo was in a daze.

  “Ah?”

  Sun Mo started. After that, he looked at Bai Shuang and smiled awkwardly. “Sorry, what was your question? I didn’t hear it clearly!”

  “Teacher Sun, can I please ask what have you done to my spiritual beast?”

  Bai Shuang sincerely consulted Sun Mo.

  “This……can I tell you about this privately?”

  Sun Mo didn’t wish to reveal his trump card under the public eye.

  “Sure. I was the one who has overstepped my bounds by asking such a personal question.”

  Bai Shuang’s EQ might not be high, but that didn’t mean she didn’t know the ways of the world. Hence, she hurriedly apologized.

  “Later on, try summoning your spiritual beast first.”

  After Sun Mo reminded her, he instructed the system mentally, “Learn the skill book!”

  Pak!

  The golden book floating before Sun Mo was crushed into countless tiny motes of light. After that, they flew forward like fireflies, entering his glabella.

  Sun Mo instantly felt a sensation of fullness in his mind. It was like he had memorized 100 terms in the ancient classical poem. He felt a sense of joy that came from learning something.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations on learning the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art. Proficiency level: Entry-level.”

  As Sun Mo walked toward the resting area, he was trying to contemplate the secrets of this cultivation art. He also mentally instructed the system, “Use a 30-year time emblem to upgrade my proficiency level of the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art.”

  This was such a practical cultivation art, so he naturally had to upgrade his proficiency level as soon as possible.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, your Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art’s proficiency level has been improved to the half-step grandmaster-level!’

  Sun Mo’s comprehension of this cultivation art increased by a lot.

  “Teacher Sun, congratulations on advancing to the finals!”

  “Teacher Sun, I’m cheering for you. I bet for you to become the champion!”

  “You have to defeat that arrogant Shan Shi!”

  The examinees didn’t dare to crowd too near as they were worried they might offend Sun Mo. Hence, they smiled and greeted him when he passed by them.

  Sun Mo nodded and thanked everyone.

  Bai Shuang’s patience was strangely very sufficient.

  “I’ve removed the contract between you and your spiritual beast. After that, when both of you were stunned, I defeated you!”

  Sun Mo honestly answered.

  Actually, he wasn’t able to hide this even if he wanted to. Given Bai Shuang’s comprehension ability, she would soon understand what had happened.

  “Can such a thing even be accomplished?”

  Bai Shuang was shocked. Although she had guessed that, she didn’t dare to believe it. This was because a spiritual contract was a very private, very arcane, and very mysterious power.

  Outsiders wouldn’t know anything and if they tried to interfere, they would definitely suffer a backlash.

  Sun Mo smiled. He naturally wouldn’t tell Bai Shuang that his Freedom Proof’s divine language of spiritual control was the highest-tier contract authority.

  This highest-tier authority would suppress all other forms of low-tier authority!

  “You know the divine language of spiritual control?”

  Bai Shuang’s eyes flashed as she suddenly thought of a possibility.

  The contract between her and the ancient giant spirit was a soul contract. Both parties formed it after they recognized and acknowledged each other. So, not only would the two of them not suffer from any backlash due to the contract, if someone tried to forcefully intervene in their contract, the third party would be the one suffering the backlash.

  However, Sun Mo neither admitted nor denied it.

  “I have to be right. Only those who know the divine language of spiritual control can achieve this feat!”

  Bai Shuang mumbled. When she looked at Sun Mo again, her eyes were filled with envy. That was the divine language of spiritual control, something her father had bitterly searched for over fifty years yet wasn’t able to find.

  As for herself, never in her wildest dreams would she dare to imagine that she would be able to learn a part of the divine language.

  “Where did you obtain this giant?”

  Sun Mo was curious. “If this conversation is too private, you can choose not to reply!”

  “In a darkness ruin. It should be awakened due to my bloodline. If you need it, I can tell you the exact coordinates of that ruin.”

  Bai Shuang replied with no hesitation.

  “No need.”

  Sun Mo wouldn’t covet such things. Besides, he still had a map of the Greenhaze Forest. There were a total of seven ruins there. At that time, he would definitely be able to obtain even more powerful spiritual beasts.

  Bai Shuang cast a deep glance at Sun Mo. After that, she sincerely and genuinely spoke, “Teacher Sun, you are a good man!”

  Not only had Sun Mo shared his secret with her, but he also didn’t force her to tell him her secret. Such character was truly admirable. It seemed that she had really misunderstood him earlier.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Bai Shuang +300. Friendly (400/1,000).

  “Eh? What the hell? Sun Mo’s confession got rejected?”

  Gu Xiuxun, who was walking over, coincidentally heard the sentence Bai Shuang spoke, saying that Sun Mo was a good man. She couldn’t help but froze.

  “Teacher Sun, I apologize if I have offended you in the past!”

  Bai Shuang bowed again in apology.

  “We won’t get acquainted if we didn’t fight.”

  Sun Mo chortled. Bai Shuang was so civil. On the contrary, he felt embarrassed to mention the stakes of the bet they had earlier.

  “Sun Mo, don’t waste time anymore. Shan Shi’s match is about to start. Do you not want to go and take a look?”

  Gu Xiuxun urged.

  “Let’s go!”

  Sun Mo was also very concerned about his final opponent. That fellow’s cultivation art seemed very bizarre. He better observed it more so he could come out with a battle strategy.

  Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun left. Only then did Bai Shuang’s mates from her school feel brave enough to crowd over.

  “Senior school sister, there’s medicine to reduce swelling and pain. Do you want to apply some on your face?”

  “Senior school sister, you only lost because you were careless. If you were slightly more serious, you would definitely be able to win against Sun Mo.”

  “Yeah, the combination of Biggy and junior sister Bai would have long since crushed Sun Mo if she was slightly more serious.”

  Everyone consoled Bai Shuang.

  “Don’t say anymore. I’m thoroughly convinced about my loss!”

  Bai Shuang shook her head. “Also, don’t speak bad about Sun Mo!”

  Eh!

  Everyone was stunned. They couldn’t speak bad nor praise Sun Mo. Hence, the atmosphere instantly grew awkward.

  “However, Sun Mo is pretty magnanimous. He didn’t mention anything about the stakes of the bet. It can be considered that he has given face to senior school sister.”

  A young female junior of Bai Shuang felt that Sun Mo’s personality wasn’t bad as she recalled his handsome face.

  Swish~

  Everyone immediately turned over. (Do you really have to bring that up?)

  “I’m tired. I will head back first!”

  Bai Shuang left. She had to reestablish a contract and make an even deeper bond with the ancient giant spirit. At the same time, she wanted to properly comprehend that feeling when their contract was forcefully removed.

  Naturally, the most important thing was that she had to write a letter to her headmaster and teachers. She would then pack her stuff and head to the Central Province Academy.

  She was Bai Shuang, someone who was true to her words. Even if Sun Mo didn’t mention this, she would definitely fulfill the conditions of the bet since she had lost.

  Sun Mo was able to comprehend the divine language of spiritual control. Most probably, his attainments in the study of spiritual control were extremely high. In the future, she could ask him questions and do her best to learn from him.

  Other than this, there was another matter……Should she inform her headmaster about that?

  Bai Shuang started to feel conflicted. ……

  When Sun Mo returned to the preparation area, he saw Shan Shi, who was dressed in black, already standing in the arena.

  “How long exactly do I have to wait?”

  Zou Xiao, who graduated from the Black-White Academy, urged.

  “Are you in such a hurry to taste defeat?”

  After Shan Shi spoke, he saw that Sun Mo had arrived. He brandished his sword and pointed it at Sun Mo. “Sun Mo, watch clearly. This is my strength.”

  The battle started and after a single exchange of blows, Zou Xiao’s arms were both broken.

  “Sun Mo, my sword is feeling unbearable with thirst. You must not forfeit in our match, alright?”


  Chapter 592: So What if You Are a Genius? I Will Just Destroy You!

  “Sorry. Sun Mo won that battle. Your plan to purchase another half of a shop is gone!”

  The average-looking guy looked at the uglier guy and shrugged. “As for me, as long as Sun Mo wins one more round, I will be able to purchase two or three shops!”

  Upon hearing this, the uglier guy’s chest heaved, resembling a toad that was panting heavily, on the verge of an explosion. Only after Shan Shi destroyed Zou Xiao with a single strike did he feel complacent again.

  “Sun Mo wants to win? Ask Shan Shi’s sword for permission first!”

  After the uglier guy spoke, he immediately left.

  The average-looking guy had a heavy expression on his face. Those audiences who supported Sun Mo were also the same.

  Was Shan Shi strong?

  As the biggest dark horse in the great teacher examination this batch, Shan Shi was definitely strong. However, when compared to Bai Shuang and Xiao Li, the threat he posed didn’t come from an aura of strength. Rather, it was from a strange and bizarre aura.

  No matter which opponent Shan Shi fought against, he would break their arms with a single slash. He had never used a second move, and this caused everyone to feel very uncomfortable. In fact, many even felt fear.

  Compared to admitting that Shan Shi was very powerful, everyone felt that this fellow must have used some other sneaky methods. However, since the judges didn’t bring it up, it was clear that Shan Shi had no problem.

  “The pressure Sun Mo is feeling is probably extremely great!”

  “Shan Shi is merely an ordinary person, while Sun Mo is the top ranker of the 1-star great teacher examination. Such a scene is probably nothing to him!”

  “In any case, I really loathe that arrogant Shan Shi. I hope Sun Mo will crush him quickly!”

  Speaking of bearing, poise, and even looks, Sun Mo far surpassed Shan Shi. Hence, most of the people supported Sun Mo. ……

  In a pavilion, Jiang Zhitong was waiting anxiously.

  Not long later, his loyal servant hurried over after watching the match.

  “Master!”

  The loyal servant hesitated. He knew that his master disliked Sun Mo, hence, his master definitely wouldn’t want to hear the answer.

  “Sun Mo actually won?”

  Jiang Zhitong frowned. Given his intelligence, he naturally knew the answer after seeing his loyal servant’s expression.

  “Yes!”

  The servant explained. “That Black Doggy Sun’s luck is simply too good. Bai Shuang and her giant both seemed to be stunned for a few seconds all of a sudden, and Sun Mo grabbed the opportunity to seize victory.”

  “Luck? Bai Shuang is a genius, can someone depend on luck to defeat her?”

  Jiang Zhitong’s lips twitched, feeling some regret that he didn’t finish watching the competition. Sun Mo must have done something that caused Bai Shuang to make a mistake.

  (I remember that when Sun Mo accepted Ma Zhang as a personal student, he said that he had some attainments in the art of spiritual control. It seems like he wasn’t lying and truly did have some capabilities in that field.)

  Upon thinking of this, Jiang Zhitong felt even more depressed. In addition to God Hands and his expertise in the art of spiritual control, Sun Mo was definitely more impressive than him.

  “No wonder he dares to say such words in front of my Jiang Clan Manor. So, he does have some capabilities. However, Sun Mo, I will make you understand that there are some people you cannot afford to offend.”

  Jiang Zhitong felt disdain. (So what if he is a genius? I can just destroy him!)

  “Old Master, Sun Mo most probably is going to die in the arena.”

  The loyal servant hurriedly recounted the scene of how Shan Shi had instantly crushed Zou Xiao to Jiang Zhitong, wanting his master to feel a little happier.

  “Haha, that’s right. Maybe I don’t even need to act.”

  Jiang Zhitong laughed. “As God Hands, if he lost his hands……that would absolutely be the most embarrassing thing ever.”

  “However master, what’s going on exactly with that Shan Shi?”

  The servant was curious.

  “Is this matter something you should care about?”

  Jiang Zhitong berated. Actually, he had no idea as well. ……

  “Teacher!”

  Li Ziqi and the others came to look for Sun Mo after the match was over, preparing to return to the hotel together.

  “Teacher, are you confident?”

  Ying Baiwu was worried because Shan Shi won too easily. She basically couldn’t see the depth of his strength.

  Swish~

  The gazes of everyone immediately turned over.

  “Presently, maybe 30%?”

  Sun Mo analyzed.

  “Teacher, what exactly is going on with that Shan Shi?”

  Tantai Yutang was curious.

  “Hehe, you guys will know once tomorrow’s match arrived!”

  Sun Mo kept them in suspense. “Alright, you guys should return to the hotel first. I have to handle a matter!”

  “Let me accompany you?”

  Gu Xiuxun suggested.

  “No need.”

  Sun Mo rejected.

  “Teacher Sun, can I interview you?”

  Li Ruolan suddenly appeared again. She smiled charmingly and took out a little book. “I just need a few minutes of your time!”

  “Sorry, I’m not free!”

  Sun Mo shrugged and left decisively.

  (Damn! I have tried so hard to smile sweetly, yet you refused to be hooked? Are you still a man?)

  Li Ruolan cursed in her heart. She felt disappointed when she saw that Sun Mo didn’t have any intention to stay back after seeing her. She immediately changed her target. “Student Li Ziqi, are you free to accept the interview?” ……

  “Teacher Mei!”

  At a flower bed behind the Westmountain Academy’s dormitory area, Sun Mo found Mei Ziyu.

  “Teacher Sun?”

  Mei Ziyu had a look of joy on her face. “Why are you here?”

  “I have something to look for you for!”

  Sun Mo felt a little embarrassed. After all, he needed a favor.

  Mei Ziyu was intelligent and meticulous. Her bright eyes sparkled and she guessed Sun Mo’s meaning. “You want to look for my mother? Come with me!”

  “Thanks!”

  His match was coming up next, Sun Mo wasn’t going to be too overly polite.

  “Teacher Sun is too polite!”

  Mei Ziyu covered her smile and then solemnly explained, “My mother is very grateful that you are doing treatment for me and already planned to treat you for a meal to express her thanks. However, she was too busy. In addition to her identity, she’s worried that her actions might bring a negative influence on you. Hence, she only planned to invite you for a meal after the examination is over.”

  Mei Yazhi was a 6-star great teacher and most importantly, she was also one of the main examiners. If someone said that Sun Mo was currying favor with a major character and became ‘a dog in front of the doors of others’, this would definitely impact his reputation very severely.

  “Teacher Mei is too polite. I helped you because you are my friend!”

  Sun Mo turned his head and looked at the side of Mei Ziyu’s face. Under the sunlight and shade of the tree, it caused her fresh and pure aura to exude even clearer.

  Honestly speaking, she was his type.

  “In that case, why are you referring to me as Teacher Mei?”

  Mei Ziyu swiftly glanced at Sun Mo and lowered her head. “A……actually, you can c……call me Ziyu!”

  After saying this, Mei Ziyu’s slightly mischievous face blushed. That was an indication of shyness.

  “Ziyu!”

  Sun Mo called out conveniently.

  Mei Ziyu started. After that, she softly said ‘Mn’. The blush on her face then rapidly spread to her neck.

  Ding!

  “New mission issued: Marry a female great teacher that truly loves you. The higher her star-rank, the better the reward. There’s no ceiling to the reward!”

  The system’s notification suddenly rang out in his ears.

  “What the hell?”

  Sun Mo was stunned. “There’s such a mission?”

  “Of course. There are only missions you can’t think of, but there’s no mission the system cannot issue!”

  The system’s tone was filled with pride. “Call me the omnipotent system!”

  “Can I call you ‘toilet bowl’?”

  Sun Mo rolled his eyes.

  “You don’t know what’s good for you. For the sake of your love life, as a humanized system, I naturally care about your emotions!”

  The system felt very sullen.

  “You are better than my headmaster when I was in the No. 2 High School. The headmaster said he admired me and in the end, not only did he not introduce me to any female teachers, but he didn’t even give me a raise!”

  Sun Mo’s lips twitched. “Also, what do you mean by there’s no ceiling? Are there better rewards compared to the mysterious-grade treasure chests?”

  Naturally, he couldn’t really say that the headmaster didn’t introduce female colleagues to him. The headmaster had introduced a ‘powerful tank’ that could crush Sun Mo into meat paste instantly.

  “Host’s authority is too low, I’m unable to answer!”

  The system’s voice suddenly turned indifferent, even more ruthless than the girlfriend who broke up with you yesterday.

  “Just go and rest!”

  Sun Mo no longer wanted to chat.

  “In that case, does this mean you don’t want your rewards?”

  The system threatened.

  “Wait a minute!”

  Sun Mo laughed. “I suddenly discovered that my life is inevitably linked to ‘great partners’.”

  “Scram. Don’t think that my education level is low and I don’t know great partners that refer to powerful eunuchs that were companions to emperors in ancient eras.”

  The system spoke in contempt but still gave out the rewards.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations on defeating Bai Shuang. Reward: 1x gold treasure chest.”

  Ding!

  “Congratulations on thoroughly convincing Bai Shuang via defeating her, causing her to change her attitude toward you. Reward: 1x gold treasure chest!”

  The system was very generous as usual this time around.

  “Teacher Sun, how did you know I’m near the flowerbed?”

  Mei Ziyu was curious. After all, the match had just ended. This meant that Sun Mo didn’t spend too much time and had found her.

  “When I was in Guangling Academy, I saw that the majority of flower beds there had been pruned and I thought that the school gardeners were very hardworking. In the end, I saw a similar situation in this school. Besides, I’ve seen you doing pruning before. Hence, I guessed that you would prune all the plants in the flower beds of every school you went to.”

  Sun Mo laughed. Mei Ziyu was someone who loved flowers.

  “I’ve checked on how many flower beds exist in the Westmountain Academy and according to the duration of the examination, I knew which ones weren’t pruned yet. Hence, I started to search for the ones located in the more remote locations.”

  “Teacher Sun is very intelligent and meticulous!”

  Mei Ziyu praised, feeling a little bashful because the little secret of hers was exposed. Yet, she also felt some joy from obtaining someone who knew her.

  She did have such a habit. This was something even her mother didn’t know.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Mei Ziyu +100. Respect (1,300/10,000).

  The two of them went to a luxurious villa. This was something the headmaster of the Westmountain Academy had gifted them. He only hoped that when Mei Yazhi was free, she could give a few lessons in his school.

  Naturally, this was also for the sake of making it more convenient when he needed medical pills.

  “Me and my mother don’t come here often. Hence, there are no servants here. Please excuse this.”

  Mei Ziyu explained and went to heat up water to prepare tea.

  As the host, the headmaster of the Westmountain Academy did prepare a few servants, but because Mei Yazhi knew that her daughter preferred silence and loathed strangers, she got all the servants to leave.

  “There’s no trouble at all. Let me give you a massage first!”

  Mei Yazhi was very busy and hadn’t returned. Hence, Sun Mo could only choose to wait. However, waiting was simply idling, so he might as well use this chance to earn some favorable impression points.

  “Ah, I would have to trouble Teacher Sun then.”

  Mei Ziyu was natural and unrestrained in her conduct as she bowed. ……

  After Mei Yazhi finished her work, she sat in a carriage and headed back. She was preparing to check up on her daughter, but in the end, when she walked into the little courtyard where her daughter’s room was, she heard some strange noises.

  Mei Yazhi’s expression changed as fury filled her heart.

  Absolutely outrageous. Which filthy man was it that had managed to worm his way into her daughter’s heart?
