Chapter 675: You Are Making Things Difficult for Me, Right?
“Hehe!”
Li Ziqi couldn’t help but laugh.
“What’s wrong?”
The papaya girl didn’t understand. Was there anything funny to laugh about?
“Teacher is playing a trick – loosening the reins only to grasp them better!”
Li Ziqi knew that Tang Wenguang was like a fish being harpooned. There was no way he could escape now. ……
“Bootlicker!”
Cao Xian cursed. He suddenly felt a little alarmed. Could this rascal Sun Mo be wanting to poach Tang Wenguang?
(Hehe, be calm!)
If Sun Mo asked, he would definitely be embarrassed. After all, Tang Wenguang was his old friend of 20 years. A relationship was worth more than gold!
“Hehe, why the rush? If Teacher Sun doesn’t mind it, how about allowing me to address you as ‘little friend’?”
When Tang Wenguang heard this, he was bursting with joy.
As a 4-star great teacher, Tang Wenguang had heard many praises and fawning attempts before and was used to it. However, this time was different. The person praising him was God Hands.
If this news were to spread, he would definitely feel very glorious.
“Teacher Tang must be joking. If I can become friends with Teacher Tang, that will be my honor.”
Sun Mo maxed out his social interaction skills and after chatting for a bit, he pulled back to the main topic. “Since we are friends, there’s no need to mention anything about thanks.”
“How can this be?”
Tang Wenguang was someone who wanted face. The more Sun Mo acted like this, the more he would feel like he had to give something. Only then would it prove that he was truly sincere in making friends instead of having some other motives.
“Teacher Sun, just speak freely. If not, I would take it as you looking down on me!”
Sun Mo shook his head and didn’t speak.
At this moment, what he needed was support.
“Cough! Cough!”
An Xinhui deliberately coughed twice to clear her throat. Just when she wanted to speak, Li Ziqi who was beside her already spoke out.
“Teacher Tang, when I observed your battle, I discovered that you have an extremely sturdy foundation in basic skills. I wonder if you are willing to come to my school to teach some lessons for a while?”
Li Ziqi swiftly walked out from the crowd.
Sun Mo immediately cast a ‘nice assist!’ look at her.
(The little sunny egg is as expected of a cotton-padded jacket I hold close to me. She understands me!)
“This……”
Tang Wenguang frowned.
“My teacher once said that if all the students wished to listen to the class of a great teacher, he would invite that great teacher over. Among the list of names, your name ranks at the very top. In fact, my teacher actually fretted and was anxious about this for a long while.”
Li Ziqi’s voice had a sincere pleading tone to it.
“Eh? Is that so?”
The papaya girl was astonished. (Why don’t I remember it?)
“Shh!”
Ying Baiwu pulled Lu Zhiruo to the side. (You should stop adding to the chaos. Ziqi naturally knows how to coax someone. Only by describing Tang Wenguang to the extent where he’s someone lofty and unattainable would he feel that our Central Province Academy heavily values him.)
“Ziqi, don’t be rude!”
Sun Mo berated. “By doing this, you are making things difficult for Teacher Tang.”
Sun Mo revealed a look that indicated he was thinking on behalf of Tang Wenguang, causing Tang Wenguang to feel even more guilt and self-reproach. (He’s treating me so well but I……)
(If I didn’t head over to teach, wouldn’t I be worse than a beast?)
“Teacher Sun, I can understand your difficulty as well. How about this? I will go over to the Central Province Academy for three, no, five days every month to teach some lessons.”
Si~
Upon hearing Tang Wenguang’s words, the great teachers of the Myriad Daos Academy took in a gasp of cold air. Didn’t this count as a defection?
“Old Tang!”
Cao Xian shouted, his voice was trembling. He was like a wife that got abandoned by her husband.
“Headmaster Cao, I have to repay Sun Mo’s kindness to me!”
Tang Wenguang sighed. “Besides, I will only be teaching there for a few days per month. I’m still a teacher of the Myriad Daos Academy.”
Cao Xian was too familiar with Tang Wenguang. Upon hearing him addressing him as ‘Headmaster Cao’ instead of using his name, Cao Xian already knew that Tang Wenguang’s heart was already set on joining the Central Province Academy. (What do you mean by speaking there for five days per month?)
Given Sun Mo’s method, once Tang Wenguang went over, it would be as good as him joining them permanently.
F***!
(Where’s our twenty years of friendship? Where’s the saying that relationships are worth more than gold? Where’s the being dependable?)
(Was our friendship nothing but crap?)
From everyone’s point of view, they would feel that Tang Wenguang was convinced by Sun Mo’s charisma and talent.
Sun Mo knew that he mustn’t continue with this topic. Hence, he stared at the group of teachers from Myriad Daos Academy and challenged them again. “Next, who will be sparring against me?”
Cao Xian’s eyelids twitched. He was truly afraid of these words. It seemed like he better used his ultimate move now. But what should he use to handle An Xinhui?
However, he couldn’t care too much now or everyone in his great teacher circle would be poached by Sun Mo.
But before Cao Xian could do anything, a middle-aged female great teacher walked out from behind him. After a few steps, she leaped lightly and landed on the battle stage.
“Teacher Sun, I’m Zhang Hualian. I’m pleased to meet you!”
As the female teacher exchanged greetings with Sun Mo, Cao Xian’s countenance darkened.
(What is she trying to do?)
The other great teachers from the Myriad Daos Academy were clueless as well because Zhang Hualian was famous for being a hot-tempered person. If logic wasn’t on her side, she would scold everyone; if logic was on her side, she would want to fight everyone.
For each lesson, if Zhang Hualian didn’t scold anyone, that would be considered major news. Yet now, she was so polite when she greeted Sun Mo, resembling an unmarried daughter of a noble house.
“It’s fake, right?”
Tang Wenguang had a dumbfounded look on his face. Just based on Zhang Hualian’s appearance, one would assume that she was a shrew in a black shop selling human-meat buns.
Although Sun Mo was very handsome, many handsome gigolos had been scolded by Zhang Hualian, so Sun Mo couldn’t have charmed her. Because her appearance was 3 at the max, and this 3 was rounded up from 2.xxx, anyway, she had not married and loathed men a lot.
“Teacher Zhang!’
Sun Mo did his best to smile but honestly speaking, his smile was a little stiff. This was because Zhang Hualian was extremely fierce-looking. She kinda looked like a monster.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and in an instant, he saw that she cultivated in Golden Bell Protection and 36 Path Soul Extermination Blade.
This was a woman whose arms could rival the strength of horses, and she would dare to fight tigers even if she wasn’t drunk. But at this moment, she was actually acting shy.
“T……teacher Sun……”
Zhang Hualian didn’t know how to broach her intention.
“Teacher Zhang, just feel free to speak directly!”
Sun Mo decided to agree to any of her requests on account of her extremely high potential value.
“Let’s fight first without using spirit qi and determine who is victorious through our moves alone.”
After Zhang Hualian spoke, she didn’t attack with her weapon. Instead, she directly brandished her fists that were the size of huge casseroles, blasting toward Sun Mo.
“My heavens!”
Her movements were like a hurricane, but when Sun Mo blocked the attack, he suddenly heard a soft voice asking.
“Teacher Sun, do you really know how to do facial surgery?”
“Why?”
Sun Mo started but he soon understood. Could it be this Zhang Hualian wanted to……
“Is Fang Wuji’s current appearance something you helped him to achieve?”
Zhang Hualian looked as though she was exerting full force with each of her punches, wanting to crush Sun Mo’s head. But when her punches landed on his wooden blade, they felt as light as a feather.
Simply speaking, there wasn’t any firepower.
Sun Mo had thought that this was some type of new battle strategy. But at this moment, he finally understood Zhang Hualian’s intention. Her attacks were fake, but her question about facial surgery was genuine.
“Yes!”
Sun Mo decisively nodded. He understood that victory over this 3-star female great teacher was secured.
“Do facial surgery for me too!”
Zhang Hualian’s eyes brightened. “There’s no need to be too beautiful. It’s enough if you can make me l……look like……”
Zhang Hualian glanced around and when she saw Jin Mujie, she continued with her sentence, “Look like Jin Mujie!”
“.……”
Sun Mo really wanted to say, ‘Aren’t you making things difficult for me?’.
Although he possessed the skin beautifying technique, it was just a minor branch of the ancient massaging technique. (The effects might not be too bad, but it isn’t good enough to change your entire head away!)
(Fang Wuji had the ‘base’ of a handsome guy. But what about you?)
Seeing Sun Mo hesitating, Zhang Hualian’s volume immediately grew louder. “How about it? Can the surgery be done or not?”
“It can be done!”
But Sun Mo mentally mused that as long as she had 30% of Jin Mujie’s looks, it would already be sufficient for her to conquer 80% of the male population out there.
“In that case, other than face, can the body parts be operated on as well?”
Zhang Hualian spoke in a low voice and lowered her gaze.
Sun Mo frowned and hesitated a while before he understood. She was referring to her chest.
“.……”
Sun Mo was immediately speechless. (Your requests are a little too much.)
“It can’t be done?”
Zhang Hualian frowned but she compromised. “There’s no need to make them as large as Jin Mujie’s, just ? of her size will do.”
“The surgery can be done, but everyone’s situation is different. I do not dare to guarantee that your final appearance and figure after the surgery would be ones that all guys like”
Sun Mo clarified things first.
This woman was clearly not someone good to antagonize. He didn’t want her to make trouble in the future if she was dissatisfied. The harmony would surely be broken then.
“It’s fine, just do your best. Even if you screw up, can my appearance even be uglier than now?”
Zhang Hualian laughed, her voice was so coarse-sounding that it was able to scare off a pack of wild dogs.
“What a pity that the ancient massaging technique has no way to change one’s voice. If not, I will definitely become an extremely wealthy person with it.”
Sun Mo felt some regret.
He thought of the modern era where guys could earn loads of money just by using a voice changer. There was no need for them to even show their faces.
After she met her goal, Zhang Hualian no longer had the mood to fight. After she exchanged another blow with Sun Mo, she flew backward through the air and stumbled a little. After that, her right feet ‘misstepped’ and she fell off the stage.
“.……”
Cao Xian immediately cursed out loud in his heart.
(Do you think I’m a fool?)
(Do you think that I’m unable to tell that you are not going all out?)
Cao Xian opened and closed his mouth but eventually didn’t verbalize his scolding. After all, he was also afraid of this shrew, and it was a fact that she was very talented.
“I’ve lost. Teacher Sun’s cultivation art is a peerless-grade saint-tier one. I cannot win against him.”
Zhang Hualian clasped her fists. “In order to better remember this humiliation, I, Zhang Hualian, am willing to go to the Central Province Academy for seven days per month to give lessons.”
Sun Mo instantly understood that this was the price Zhang Hualian was willing to pay for the facial surgery.
Hua~
An uproar instantly rang out in the battle dojo. No one had expected that Sun Mo would clinch victory so cleanly. It felt like he hadn’t gone all out at all.
An Xinhui chortled. (What do you mean by he hasn’t gone all out? He didn’t even put in any effort.)
“You……”
Cao Xian was so angry that his hand started to tremble. (The face of my Myriad Daos Academy is thrown away by you guys.)
After Zhang Hualian returned, she retracted her fierce expression and sincerely spoke to Cao Xian, “Headmaster Cao, let’s stop competing. No one here will be able to win against Sun Mo. Do you think I lost intentionally? I basically couldn’t see any chance of victory. That fellow knows at least three peerless saint-tier cultivation arts. Even if you are the one fighting against him without using spirit qi, you will be at a disadvantage.”
Zhang Hualian also wasn’t someone heartless. Whenever she could gain glory for the school, she would definitely not hold back. But now since there was no way she could win, she might as well do a favor for Sun Mo to get some benefits.
Cao Xian fell silent. Actually, he also understood that Sun Mo was definitely number one among his peers, but he truly felt reluctant to accept this.
If he lost this battle, the Myriad Daos Academy would be suppressed by the Central Province Academy from now onward. They would have no chance to overturn the situation.
(This can’t do, I have to unleash my ultimate!)
Chapter 676: I Want To See How You Win After I Unleash My Ultimate
Cao Xian’s expression turned heavy, unsightly, and filled with helplessness. It resembled an unlucky person who had suffered from constipation for half a year and every time he shat, it would be torture.
“Sun Mo is a f**king disgusting hemorrhoid.”
Cao Xian cursed.
Sounds of discussion could be heard in the entire battle dojo. Although the sounds weren’t loud, even if Cao Xian used his knees to think, he knew that they were talking about Sun Mo.
Although his side had Liang Jumu and they had obtained an advantage in the art of engineering, Sun Mo soon pointed out the mysteries within and showed off his knowledge.
After that, he had crushed Fan Wenbin in the study of spirit runes and caused the self-confident Fu Hong to cower back, not daring to act casually. After that, it was followed by alchemy pill identification……
Sun Mo was already not competing but was directly providing guidance.
Moreover, he had destroyed Huang Chengguo in the art of spiritual control and seized his darkness secret treasure. He even generously gifted Duan Yingmei a complete peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art, displaying his magnanimity to everyone.
After three fights, Bai Qilin, Tang Wenguang, and Zhang Hualian all lost completely, but because of Sun Mo’s guidance, all three of them gained some insights and even improved.
One could say that other than Bai Qilin, they felt favorable impressions toward Sun Mo.
“Go call Teacher Guan over!”
Cao Xian lowered his voice and instructed his assistant.
“Ah?”
The assistant was shocked, he subconsciously glanced over. (It can’t be right, we have to invite Teacher Guan now? In that case, what do we do when we need to deal with An Xinhui later?)
In the assistant’s heart, the most powerful enemies in the Central Province Academy were Wang Su and An Xinhui.
A commotion was created when the great teachers of the Myriad Daos Academy heard their headmaster’s words.
“Why are you in a daze? Quickly go and invite him!”
Cao Xian urged.
He now felt extremely twitchy and resentful. (Do you think I’m willing to use my ultimate move? Look at Sun Mo’s battle achievement, he has almost poached half of my people over. If I still don’t invite Teacher Guan over, my Myriad Daos Academy will definitely perish.)
“Cao Xian is going to unleash his ultimate move!”
Seeing the assistant beside Cao Xian leaving in such a hurry, Wang Su started to frown.
“It’s faster than what I’ve anticipated!”
An Xinhui giggled. Her beautiful eyes involuntarily turned toward Sun Mo and were filled with admiration.
When a great teacher group battle occurred among two schools, it concerned their fundamentals. Whoever lost would have their reputation damaged severely. Hence, Cao Xian preparing a trump card was within An Xinhui’s expectations.
What she didn’t expect was that Sun Mo was actually so powerful and could handle ? of Cao Xian’s great teacher group alone, forcing Cao Xian to have no choice but to change his strategy.
One must know that the great teachers Sun Mo defeated were all 3-star and above, other than Bai Qilin.
“When did grandpa discover Little Momo’s extraordinary aptitude?”
An Xinhui was very curious.
“If there’s no one coming up, I will get down from the stage then.”
Sun Mo didn’t want to be treated like a monkey in the circus, letting everyone look at him. This was especially so when he saw the gazes of those female students. They were filled with excitement and probing, causing him to feel fear and trepidation.
Cao Xian’s heart pounded as he hurriedly stopped Sun Mo with his words.
“Teacher Sun, please wait a little longer!”
There was no solution to it. Cao Xian was anxious. If Sun Mo got off the stage, wouldn’t his ultimate be useless?
However, at this moment, Cao Xian felt extremely sullen. It was as though he had seen his father, mother, and wife all having affairs outside.
The face of the Myriad Daos Academy had been smacked heavily by Sun Mo. Hence, they could only try to beat Sun Mo with their overwhelming power.
Cao Xian’s trump card was very late and made everyone wait for half an hour. But after seeing the person who arrived, no one complained. In fact, many high-ranking great teachers stood up directly.
“What’s the matter?”
The students saw an old man with white hair walking in. He appeared hale and hearty and was clad in a simple long robe. On his left chest, the school insignia of the Myriad Daos Academy was embroidered there.
Above the insignia, 6 stars could be seen.
Regardless of whether this old man was nothing special to look at or his clothes were shabby, everything was not significant. This was because the 6 stars on his chest were enough to suppress the entire crowd.
When An Xinhui saw Guan Shijie, although he was a great teacher from the Myriad Daos Academy, she immediately led the great teachers of her school to stand up and bow.
This was the respect anyone would show to a 6-star great teacher.
“Little Hui, I originally had no plans to participate in the group battle, but Old Cao is under too much pressure and forced me to come here. Hence, I have no way to watch him die!”
Guan Shijie apologized.
“Teacher Guan is too serious.”
An Xinhui humbly spoke to indicate that she didn’t mind, but she actually felt very unhappy in her heart. It wasn’t because Guan Shijie acted. Rather, it was his tone that made it sound as though he had already won.
“Who is this old man? Why does he sound so arrogant?”
Lu Zhiruo frowned. (Even 7-star great teachers that I met before wouldn’t act like this.)
“He is Guan Shijie, a very prestigious and famous great teacher in Jinling. It’s said that he has already surpassed the Longevity Realm and stepped into the Legendary Realm. In any case, he’s very powerful.”
Li Ziqi gave an introduction.
“I know him. Many major characters will bring their children to see him every year.”
Ying Baiwu recalled a young kid on the neighboring street whose family prepared an expensive gift to pay respect to Guan Shijie. Although that kid was rejected, because of a sentence of praise from Guan Shijie, that kid was accepted by a 2-star great teacher and was doing quite well for himself now.
Guan Shijie’s time was too precious. After chatting for a few sentences, he walked up the stage. “Let’s get started. We won’t use spirit qi and only compete in moves. If you can persist for three minutes, it will be considered your victory!”
Hua~
After hearing Shi Guanjie’s words, the battle dojo was in an uproar. Wasn’t this fellow looking down on Sun Mo a little too much?
He didn’t even ask for his name!
“Teacher, you can do it!”
Lu Zhiruo started cheering for Sun Mo.
Swish~
This caused many people to turn over. (You are quite gutsy, right? Are you not afraid a 6-star great teacher would hold a grudge against you?)
“Persist for three minutes? What a preferential treatment.”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched. Ever since he started his career, this was the first time he was so heavily disregarded.
Truthfully speaking, it wasn’t that Guan Shijie looked down on Sun Mo. Rather, he didn’t look up to anyone on the scene. He was preparing to crush the great teacher circle of the Central Province Academy in a single sitting.
“If the old headmaster was present, I wouldn’t dare to be so confident. But now……”
Guan Shijie shook his head. He felt like a bear entering a rabbit’s nest. He was invincible and could play however he wanted to play.
“Sun Mo, don’t be careless. Teacher Guan cultivates the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody. That isn’t merely a peerless saint-tier cultivation art, but it also belonged to the extremely bizarre type. You have to be careful!”
An Xinhui reminded him. It would be fine even if Sun Mo lost because she had something held in reserve. But if she said that, she most probably would hurt Sun Mo’s ego. Hence, she didn’t say anything more.
In any case, as long as Sun Mo met danger, she would immediately intervene.
Some people who were not familiar with Guan Shijie immediately turned and stared at him after hearing An Xinhui’s words. A peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art? In that case, Sun Mo most probably would be finished in this round.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and a series of question marks blinded him.
Guan Shijie, peak of the Longevity Realm.
Strength: ???
Intellect: ???
Agility: ???
Will: ??? ……
Potential value: extremely high
Note: Because your cultivation base is too low, it’s impossible for you to obtain any concrete data about him. No matter how you fight, there’s no way you can win.
Note: The target is currently at a bottleneck.
Although Guan Shijie didn’t know what Sun Mo was doing, Sun Mo’s gaze caused him to feel very uncomfortable. He felt like all his secrets were seen through by Sun Mo.
Hence, Guan Shijie flicked his fingers on the sword strapped to his waist.
Ding!
An ear-piercing sound rang out. This feeling was like the sound transformed into a dagger and directly stabbed through Sun Mo’s eardrums, piercing his brain.
Sun Mo’s entire body trembled as though he was suffering from seasickness. He felt a budding headache.
This scene caused everyone to be appalled.
A 6-star great teacher was actually so terrifying?
Even before the fight started, Sun Mo already suffered a disadvantage!
Sun Mo had planned to just try it out and forfeit after that. After all, it was very normal if he couldn’t win against this opponent. However, this attack by Guan Shijie had provoked him.
The other party basically held no regard for him. The feeling was like when one was walking on a street and saw a stone blocking them, one would simply casually kick the stone away.
As for whether the stone would crack or be destroyed, Guan Shijie completely didn’t give a damn.
(Three minutes? Not only will I persist until then, but I want you to kneel and call me daddy!)
Sun Mo immediately racked his brains for a solution.
If he fought Guan Shijie normally, let alone three minutes, he wouldn’t even last for one minute. However, he could employ a battle strategy.
“Please!”
Guan Shijie spoke and pointed two of his fingers at Sun Mo. His right hand was placed behind his back, and the sword held in them was pointed to the air as he displayed the manner of a grandmaster.
“Headmaster, look at Teacher Guan, would he……”
The assistant was worried.
Cao Xian rolled his eyes. (You are truly besieged with groundless fears. This is a case of a 6-star against a 2-star, how can we possibly lose? Besides, Guan Shijie has trained in cultivation arts of the highest level.)
“Hehe!”
Sun Mo also wasn’t polite. He slashed out with his wooden blade and executed the Golden Jade Hibiscus.
Among the flickering blade shadows, two hibiscuses bloomed, exuding beauty and magnificence.
“Eh?”
Guan Shijie was shocked. This move was so exquisite, however, he didn’t feel fear at all.
Since he had already postured, it would be a little embarrassing if he was to use his sword now. Hence, he flicked his fingers on the sword again.
Ding!
The note (sound) rang out and directly shattered the two hibiscuses.
“Good!’
Cao Xian cheered. After that, he looked at his assistant again. “Do you see it? There’s no need to worry. We will win this round for sure!”
Sun Mo wasn’t discouraged that his attack got broken. He immediately followed up with another blade strike.
Yujing Ballad, Midnight Songs Poetry!
In the air, an indescribable sound echoed. It was like the nursery rhymes one would hear when they were young.
After that, Sun Mo chained the West River Moon attack in.
“Interesting!”
Guan Shijie’s eyes brightened. Sun Mo’s moves were like a poem. They were extremely beautiful to look at.
According to Guan Shijie’s plan, he had wanted to defeat Sun Mo in a single strike. But now, he changed his mind. He wanted to see how many more moves Sun Mo could unleash.
“Xiuxun?”
An Xinhui spoke.
“Ah?”
Gu Xiuxun, who was currently fully focused on looking at Sun Mo and perspiring with worry, suddenly felt some guilt when she heard An Xinhui’s voice. (Is it appropriate for me to show so much concern for Sun Mo?)
(Wait a minute, as a younger sister, it’s okay if I worry about my brother-in-law, right?)
(Yup! Yup!)
(It’s very normal.)
“Don’t be distracted, pay attention!”
An Xinhui reminded her.
“Pay attention to what?”
Gu Xiuxun subconsciously asked.
“Pay attention to Sun Mo’s battle strategy. I have a feeling that he can still win!”
An Xinhui could see the change in Sun Mo’s attitude. After Guan Shijie flicked his sword for the first time, Sun Mo clearly became serious.
His look when he was fully concentrating was truly very handsome.
“Xinhui, I admit that Sun Mo is very strong, but by saying this, aren’t you looking down on Guan Shijie a little too much?”
Wang Su frowned. (Do you think his 6 stars are fake? There’s no way one could purchase a 6-star title off the streets.)
“Do you want to make a bet?”
An Xinhui asked.
“Fine. If I lose, I will substitute you for a month’s worth of classes!”
At Wang Su’s level, he no longer did many substitutions for others. He would rather spend his time on his own research. Hence, once he started a lecture, not only would students flood over, but there would also be many great teachers wanting to listen to it.
On the stage, Sun Mo’s attacking momentum surged. After he executed a few moves from Immemorial Vairocana, he immediately switched to the Dharma Skyshock Fist and attacked with a wooden blade in one hand together with his palm, changing to a completely different style.
Moreover, Sun Mo would occasionally use the Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique, treating his blade as a spear.
Top-level cultivation arts were very artistic. Even if one didn’t know them, just from looking at the gorgeous moves exchanged, one would be able to feel a type of enjoyment.
This was especially so given Sun Mo’s attacks that were chained together so smoothly that they were like flowing water.
“This Sun Mo is truly strong. No wonder he could become the champion in the great teachers battle!’
The great teachers of the Myriad Daos Academy sighed ruefully and felt a tragic sensation as though they were too old now.
The young people nowadays were truly impressive.
“Teacher Zhang, I’ve misunderstood you. You didn’t go easy on him earlier!”
Fang Wenbin’s lips twitched.
“Of course!”
Zhang Hualian rolled her eyes. “I still have this bit of judgment.”
On the other side, the great teachers of the Central Province Academy were all exclaiming in awe.
“Is this Sun Mo’s complete form? How fearsome!”
Bai Shuang felt that even if Sun Mo didn’t have Freedom Proof as one of his methods, she most probably would have still lost that day.
“Mn, luckily, the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art is an ultimate art that only I know. Otherwise, my last bit of confidence and sense of superiority would dissipate into nothingness.”
Speaking of cultivation arts, the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art might not be as ‘broad’ in terms of usage like the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art. However, it was sufficiently rare.
In this era, cultivation arts that could perform long-range attacks were all very rare and valuable. ……
“Why am I not the one standing on the stage?”
Xuanyuan Po was like a hyena that smelled its prey and he immediately came over. If Jiang Leng wasn’t holding him back, he would have rushed to the bottom of the stage for a close-up view.
In the spectator stands, Helian Beifang’s expression was roughly similar. He was holding on to the hilt of his blade as his eyes widened in focus. He didn’t even want to look away for an instant. ……
“Aiyo, Teacher Sun, you can’t possibly be thinking of winning, right?”
Qin Yaoguang’s white teeth could be seen as she munched on a pearflower candy.
“Very good, Guan Shijie is focusing on defense. Clearly, he is now interested in my cultivation art. Next, I’m going to use Immemorial Vairocana to obtain the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody.”
The first part of his battle strategy succeeded, but Sun Mo showed no emotions. His thoughts and actions were as precise as a machine programmed to do something.
He definitely had to win this round.
Chapter 677: Sorry, I Learned Your Saint-Tier Cultivation Art!
As the saying goes……if you keep playing chess against people of a set skill level, you will never improve.
Actually, for skill-related sports and games, everything was like this. If one wanted to improve, they had to spar against strong teams and strong opponents. What was the point of sparring against newbies? Other than gaining some satisfaction, it was useless.
For a 6-star great teacher, even if they didn’t use spirit qi, their experience and insights weren’t something Sun Mo could compare to. Moreover, Guan Shijie was using a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. It would be even tougher for Sun Mo to deal with him.
Hence, Sun Mo immediately took out his most perfect performance when he started to attack. He wanted to tempt Guan Shijie, not allowing him to win overwhelmingly with a single attack.
As expected, Sun Mo’s battle strategy worked.
Guan Shijie felt like a hunter hunting prey. He focused on defense to play around with Sun Mo and actually wanted Sun Mo to attack a few times more. In fact, he didn’t even show restraint and actually shouted.
“Ultimate skill? Unleash more ultimate skills!”
At this moment, Guan Shijie was like a 300-year-old kid, wanting to play with a beloved toy.
“As you wish!”
Sun Mo lifted his hand and blasted a palm strike out.
Eternalism, Great Mercy!
Bang!
Guan Shijie didn’t avoid it but chose to receive the palm strike head-on as he savored the taste. Despite the pain, it could be considered a type of experience for experts.
“Well done!” Guan Shijie praised. “Come again!”
“You can even take that attack head-on? Very well then, receive this move of mine!”
Sun Mo roared. His wooden blade swept horizontally outward, unleashing the move – Riverful Spring Water.
“What should we do? Teacher seems to be panicking!”
Ying Baiwu felt somewhat worried.
“Is Teacher using some sort of battle strategy? I don’t feel that our teacher is someone that would panic when he meets a 6-star great teacher.”
The papaya girl guessed and she actually got it correct.
Seeing how anxious Sun Mo was and how his words seemed to mean that he was preparing to unleash an even more powerful ultimate attack, Guan Shijie calmly laughed and decided to continue receiving Sun Mo’s attacks head-on.
Hence, when Guan Shijie saw the wooden blade slashing over, he flickered a finger on his left hand and rapidly deflected it.
Pak!
The wooden blade was deflected.
At the same time, a sound wave echoed out loud, causing Sun Mo’s head to spin.
Wow!
Seeing how easily Guan Shijie received Sun Mo’s attack, the battle dojo erupted into cheers and exclamations of shock and surprise.
A 6-star great teacher was truly terrifying.
Although Guan Shijie was a person who had seen many big scenes before, he still felt somewhat happy when he listened to the praise of over ten thousand people in the surroundings.
(Aiya!)
(Recently, I’ve been cooped up at home to do research. I’ve already forgotten the feeling of being praised and admired by people.)
Guan Shijie decided to visit the school more often in the future.
“Come again!”
Sun Mo roared in rage, yet he was laughing in his heart.
(Blocking my attacks bare-handed?)
(Are you sure you are not courting death?)
Immemorial Vairocana was a divine skill in Sun Mo’s perspective. As long as he managed to strike the enemy’s body with it, it would be able to force out the cultivation arts, including the many years of experiences and insights of the opponent.
(Even if you aren’t injured while receiving the attack, you won’t be able to stop this effect!)
Immemorial Vairocana was simply so tyrannical.
Sun Mo’s current proficiency level of this cultivation art was at the grandmaster-level. In thirty moves, he could ‘force’ out one targeted cultivation art.
Hence, other people basically couldn’t see it. But as the wooden blade struck Guan Shijie repeatedly, numerous motes of golden light flew out from Guan Shijie’s head and condensed into a golden page.
Sun Mo noticed that Guan Shijie’s mood was quite good. Hence, he immediately unleashed a combo.
Eighteen Words Order!
Guan Shijie stretched out his hands and caused the attacks to be deflected with his fingers again.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
All the attacks from the wooden blade were blocked.
Also, numerous soundwaves gushed out and directly attacked Sun Mo’s eardrums.
This was why the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody was so terrifying.
Sun Mo displayed an unconvinced expression and gritted his teeth. He exerted force with his wrist, and his wooden blade that was deflected followed the momentum. It was like a bird returning to the forest, spinning around a full circle and reverting back to another attack.
Spear Rain Pearflower!
For a time, Guan Shijie was engulfed by the pearflowers formed by the blade shadows, and it was as though he had entered a world of flowers.
Guan Shijie’s eyelids twitched. This move was powerful and fast. If he merely used a finger flick, he wouldn’t be able to block it completely. Hence, he stretched out his hand and ruthlessly grabbed out.
That feeling was like tearing a piece of paper that was stuck in a wall out. The pearflower shadows created by Sun Mo all vanished in an instant.
“How’s this move of mine compared to your peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art?”
Guan Shijie asked with a smile. Back then, he had depended on this magnificent move to gain the favor of many senior school sisters he wanted to court.
“Boast only after you defeated me!”
Sun Mo coldly snorted and went all out in attacking again.
Actually, he really felt like laughing because he saw more and more golden pages floating in the air above Guan Shijie’s head.
This meant that not long later, he would be able to obtain another peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art.
How wonderful!
“Sun Mo most probably is going to lose, right?”
“It’s only normal if he loses. If he could win, that would truly be freakish.”
“A 6-star great teacher is truly so terrifying.”
The great teachers of the Central Province Academy all sighed with emotions. When would their school be able to have a bunch of 6-star great teachers as their main force?
On the stage, Sun Mo was hit by another attack.
Guan Shijie’s interest was stirred and he also couldn’t help but unleash his own ultimate skill. This was because he wanted to see what effect there would be when two ultimate skills clashed against each other.
When facing the heavy punch Sun Mo threw, Guan Shijie flicked his finger again.
Pak!
The surrounding spirit qi was like a tsunami, emitting the sound of roiling waves gathering rapidly and advancing forth with ferocious momentum.
Boom!
Sun Mo was sent flying from the impact.
His teacher robes were made from ordinary materials and basically weren’t able to withstand the impact. They became torn and tattered immediately.
Swish~
The tattered pieces of clothing were like butterflies flying out.
Hua!
A commotion shook the entire scene because Sun Mo only had his pants left. His perfectly chiseled body was revealed.
“I didn’t expect Teacher Sun’s muscles would be so perfect despite him looking like a refined scholar.”
Gu Xiuxun was amazed.
“Yeah!”
Xia Yuan sighed ruefully and involuntarily cast a few more glances at Sun Mo.
From her point of view, there were two types of people in the ‘strong’ aspect. One was someone with a sturdy and muscular build, resembling a fierce general that could rival 10,000 men.
The other was like Sun Mo. Their size was the same as ordinary people but once they undressed, the eyeballs of people would explode from shock.
Sun Mo’s type was akin to someone with the perfect muscles like Bruce Lee.
“What a pity I can’t see his bones!”
Jin Mujie felt very regretful. She was thinking whether she should request for a finger bone from Sun Mo to keep in her collection, but he most probably wouldn’t agree to that, right?
“Are you okay?”
Guan Shijie frowned. He wasn’t worried that he might injure Sun Mo. Rather, he didn’t hope that this battle would end so quickly due to an unexpected accident.
Sun Mo turned a deaf ear to that and snapped his fingers.
Pak!
“What is he doing?”
Some great teachers couldn’t understand.
“Is that some sort of ritual where he prays for victory? But no matter which buddha he prays to, it’s useless. Sun Mo will lose for sure today.”
The great teachers of the Myriad Daos Academy finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Although they were using a 6-star great teacher to suppress Sun Mo, this also proved that Sun Mo was still an ordinary genius. If he was a type of absolutely rare character, everyone would be able to see a glimmer of hope for his victory by now.
No one saw that when Sun Mo snapped his fingers, the over 30 golden pages flew over toward him.
Huala huala~
They merged together into a book before Sun Mo, and the system’s congratulations rang out at the same instant.
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art, [Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody]. Proficiency level: elementary.”
“Note: This cultivation art was created by a great teacher from ancient times when he was 1,000 years old.”
“He was born in the sea, raised there, and also died there. This cultivation art is the accumulation of experiences he had in his entire life. There’s regret, happiness, and also disappointment. There’s gloom, the blooming of flowers, and also the dismal taste of defeat!”
“Learn it!”
Sun Mo’s words were concise and comprehensive.
Pak!
The golden book shattered and turned into water droplets before entering Sun Mo’s glabella.
A moment later, the sounds of ocean waves slapping against the shore rang out. His entire person felt as though he was in the midst of raging ocean waves.
Sun Mo lifted his hand and cast Gushing Thoughts on himself.
This great teacher halo could allow your mind to feel refreshed and your thoughts to be clear when you were learning or doing creative work. This was especially so when you were doing creative work, capable of allowing you to feel a rush of unstoppable waves of inspiration.
Right now, Sun Mo had to attentively ‘taste’ this cultivation art to see through all mysteries of its essence.
“Why did he have to cast a great teacher halo?”
Many great teachers didn’t understand.
“That’s Gushing Thoughts, right? He can’t possibly want to depend on this halo to gain inspiration on how to defeat Guan Shijie, right?”
“Hehe the naive side of Sun Mo is actually a little adorable!”
“Useless struggle!”
Three minutes later.
“Congratulations on learning the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody. Proficiency level: Above the elementary level but not fully reached the proficient level yet!”
Sun Mo shook his head, not satisfied.
“Are you done?”
Guan Shijie asked.
“Can you give me three more minutes?”
Sun Mo asked. “I want to think about my battle strategy.”
“Sure!’
Guan Shijie nodded.
Seeing that Guan Shijie actually agreed, the great teachers of the Myriad Daos Academy were very shocked as they knew that this 6-star great teacher was famed for being busy.
Usually, when major characters visited him, even if they eventually met him, he would at most chat a few sentences with them. The visitors would then leave after placing their gifts down.
However, Guan Shijie was actually willing to wait here on the stage for Sun Mo to think.
“This must be because of the several types of cultivation arts Sun Mo used!”
“But Sun Mo did fight pretty well!”
“Yeah if it was me, I would most probably be so afraid that I’d be sweating cold sweat!” ……
“System, directly spam a 30-year…… no, a 50-year time emblem to improve my proficiency of the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody.”
For the sake of safety, Sun Mo decided to go all out. If it wasn’t for the fact that he wasn’t really interested in this peerless saint-tier cultivation art, he might have used a 100-year time emblem.
Very soon, the concept of this cultivation art that had just been imprinted in his mind floated up again. Many tiny figures were singing about their lives while stepping on the waves.
Sun Mo calmed his heart down and attentively comprehended.
Sometimes, just a word in a name could represent many things.
Why was there the word ‘melody’ in the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody? Why wasn’t it like some other cultivation arts that had their names ending with the words ‘divine art’ or ‘sword art’?
Or maybe that ancient great teacher basically had no plans to create a saint-tier cultivation art? He was merely inspired to create an impressive melody?
If Sun Mo was an aboriginal from the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, he would definitely treat the Vast Sea Angry Tides Melody as a divine art. However, Sun Mo was not. He was someone from the modern era.
When the sound of the sea waves rang out in his mind, his first impression was that this melody wasn’t bad. If one could fill lyrics to match the melody, it would definitely become a song that could rank at the very top of the various music charts.
And it was precisely because of this ‘difference’ that allowed Sun Mo to discover the mysteries of this ‘cultivation art’.
