The entire canyon immediately turned silent. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were worried they might offend Sun Mo and Fu Yanqing, these people would stand beside them and listen to their words attentively.

  One must know that the discussion between the two of them might allow the audience to gain inspiration and eventually succeed in entering the next part of the canyon.

  Fu Yanqing glanced at the surroundings and gave a carefree smile. “Originally, the true meaning shouldn’t be imparted lightly. But since Teacher Sun has asked, I won’t hold anything back then.”

  “Great Teacher Fu is generous!”

  “I’m Du Fuwei, Universe-in-a-Sleeve. I will be the host and treat Great Teacher Fu to wine!”

  “Who the hell are you? Even if you want to treat him, it won’t be your turn.”

  A few people grumbled, but they immediately fell silent and quietly waited for his answer.

  “For this stage, it tests one’s comprehension toward the sword qi.”

  Fu Yanqing introduced. “Did you all discover that for this stage, there are no murals on the walls? Actually, the clouds and mists themselves are the murals. They would brim with sword qi every now and then, but they are too weak and the vast majority of people wouldn’t be able to sense them.”

  “I managed to comprehend the sword will through contact with the sword qi. Not only did I pass the stage, but I even successfully improved to the next level.”

  “Since I’ve already said so much, I will provide more guidance to you guys. This stage has a heavy emphasis on testing one’s aptitude. If you can’t even sense the sword qi in the mist, you might as well just return home!”

  Fu Yanqing spoke frankly with assurance. Arrogance could be seen on his face as he put on the air of a great teacher.

  “Good aura!”

  Qin Yaoguang evaluated.

  “Which side are you supporting?”

  The papaya girl’s lips twitched and she stared at the snacking girl with resentment.

  “Haha, the truth is the truth!”

  Qin Yaoguang stuck her little tongue out.

  “No matter what, he is a 6-star great teacher. Are you guys looking down on him a little too much?”

  Jin Mujie was speechless.

  This was precisely what Sun Mo would do. If it was someone else, let alone opposing Fu Yanqing, they would have lowered themselves and consulted him with reverence.

  “Teacher Sun, how about it?”

  Fu Yanqing had the capability to be proud. He also didn’t mind exposing the true meaning of this stage. After all, he was an absolute genius who had entered the sixth part of the canyon.

  “So this is the case!”

  “There’s sword qi in the mist?”

  “I’ve said it’s abnormal that the mist here doesn’t fade away and can last all year round. So this is what’s going on.”

  Some people were enlightened, but others had dispirited looks on their faces. They managed to sense the sword qi, but they had no idea what to do next.

  Fu Yanqing concealed the main points after speaking about the sword qi in the mist.

  “I have to admit that your comprehension ability and talent are both extremely good. However, that isn’t the true meaning of this stage.”

  Sun Mo shook his head.

  “What?”

  The audience was badly shocked.

  “Teacher Sun, there’s no meaning if you say it like that.”

  Fu Yanqing’s expression turned heavy. “We might as well get someone from the next part of the canyon over and ask them how they cleared the stage!”

  “Sure!”

  Sun Mo didn’t mind it.

  “Old Wang, you passed the fourth stage a year ago. Come and speak about it?”

  Someone shouted among the crowd. After that, everyone turned their gazes toward a slightly balding middle-aged man.

  The Battlegod Town was so small, and there were basically no secrets. Also, those who passed many stages were considered celebrities as everyone would focus their attention on them.

  “Hehe!”

  The balding middle-aged man laughed and didn’t say anything. He wasn’t foolish. “Why would I tell you guys the true meaning? If you want to know the secret, pay me at least 10,000 spirit stones.”

  “Qi!”

  Many people pointed their middle fingers at the baldy.

  “Friend, if you don’t mind it, how about letting me massage you for a while?”

  Sun Mo suggested.

  “.……”

  The baldy frowned and was somewhat unwilling.

  “Oi, are you seriously stupid or what? God Hands is taking the initiative to give you a massage, but you are actually hesitating?”

  “What are you afraid of? He can’t possibly know how you passed just by touching you, right?”

  “You are not only bald, but you are gutless as well!”

  The people at the side ridiculed him and started making sarcastic remarks. In any case, they were here for a good show and didn’t mind stirring trouble.

  The baldy thought about it and agreed. This was considered free benefits, so why wouldn’t he want it? Moreover, it was impossible for Sun Mo to know his thoughts just by kneading him a little.

  (Yup, that’s definitely impossible.)

  “I have to trouble Great Teacher Sun then.”

  The baldy clasped his fists.

  Sun Mo smiled and walked to the baldy’s side. He then used a single hand and kneaded his body.

  Naturally, he was merely feigning. In truth, he activated Divine Sight and saw a vast amount of information.

  Sun Mo didn’t have mysophobia, but he didn’t like to touch people randomly. Hence, the genie materialized and took his place, helping the baldy to relieve the fatigue on his energy channels.

  Uh-huh!

  The baldy involuntary moaned. He closed his eyes and enjoyed it to the max. In fact, he even scratched his armpits and put his fingers to his nostrils as he sniffed intently.

  “.……”

  The audience was speechless. (What are you doing?)

  (Are you treating this place as your own house?)

  In reality, it was because Sun Mo’s massage was too comfortable, which caused the receiver of the massage to feel like they were right at home. They had a sense of carefreeness and freedom.

  An instant later, the baldy forgot where he was and started to take off his belt, wanting to remove his pants.

  “What habit is this?”

  Sun Mo originally wanted to give him the full set of massage, but after seeing the baldy’s action, he was shocked. (What do you usually do when you are alone?)

  (Mast*rbate because you have nothing to do?)

  “Eh? Don’t stop!”

  The baldy was filled with resentment. It was like suffering withdrawal symptoms from drugs and he moved his body around in unhappiness.

  “It should be okay now.”

  Sun Mo retreated.

  “Ah? That’s all?”

  The baldy was very disappointed. After that, he bravely asked, “Teacher Sun, how much do you charge for your massage each time?”

  Si~

  After hearing the baldy’s words, those who originally didn’t mind finally had a clear understanding of Sun Mo’s God Hands.

  His hands were like hegemons.

  “Uncle, do you think my teacher lacks money?”

  Li Ziqi frowned. (My teacher isn’t a masseuse at the blind people massage shop.)

  “Haha!”

  The baldy laughed. He was also a wealthy person due to his clan’s background. A massage? Wasn’t that possible as long as he spammed money?

  (Can it be that I can’t afford it?)

  “There’s a problem with your energy channels. If you continue training like this, you will become a cripple soon.”

  Sun Mo surveyed the baldy. “You don’t have to think about achieving the Longevity Realm in your lifetime.”

  The baldy’s expression stiffened. After that, he felt somewhat suspicious. (Could it be that Sun Mo is purposely making my problem more serious than it actually is so I would feel he’s important?)

  It was like those quack doctors. If they didn’t describe your illness as something very serious, how could they earn your money?

  “Alright, let’s go back to the main topic. You are a very hardworking person and passed the stage a year ago. You cultivated assiduously and meditated here every day, despite the cold or the heat, for eleven months before you finally comprehended it. Am I right?”

  Sun Mo asked with a smile.

  Si~

  The baldy’s face was filled with immense shock. He subconsciously blurted, “How do you know this?”

  God Hands managed to ‘feel’ it?

  This was too hard to believe.

  Hence, the baldy thought that someone must have leaked this information. But after thinking about it, he didn’t tell anyone the knack to comprehend the true meaning. He didn’t even tell his wife.

  After all, this was something that would only be imparted to his son.

  Now, he instantly felt very disappointed that he was exposed by Sun Mo.

  “I told you that my teacher’s Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands is very impressive, but you didn’t believe me!”

  The papaya girl’s lips curled.

  Everyone was stunned too. From the looks of the baldy, Sun Mo wasn’t wrong. This was truly impressive.

  “I’m impressed!’

  The baldy clasped his hands and had a respectful attitude. He swiftly retracted his thoughts of spamming money to get Sun Mo to massage him.

  For such a person, he couldn’t afford to ‘spam money’.

  Just with this skill alone, Sun Mo probably would be able to earn tens of millions of gold per year easily if he wanted to.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from baldy +1,000. Respect (1,200/10,000).

  “Everyone, Great Teacher Sun is correct. I did cultivate assiduously here for eleven months before I passed the stage.”

  Since his secret was exposed, the baldy decided to generously verify Sun Mo’s words, hoping to gain a good impression from Sun Mo. Moreover, this matter was indeed his pride.

  “So the method is indeed different.”

  Everyone whispered.

  Everyone could tell that before this, the attitude of the baldy was very ordinary toward Sun Mo. But after the massage, he immediately grew respectful.

  “Still acting?”

  Fu Yanqing frowned.

  “Teacher Fu, if you don’t believe me, you can ask a few more people. Their comprehension methods should be different from each other.”

  Sun Mo was very confident.

  Fu Yanqing no longer spoke. His rationale told him that this was indeed the case.

  “Why is this so?”

  “Great Teacher Sun, stop keeping us in suspense. Quickly tell us, please?”

  Everyone urged.

  “Let’s talk about the first stage. Actually, things are very simple. It’s just a test of basic conditions.”

  “On the murals, streams of sword qi will be released, and hints of the Battle God’s will can be felt in the sword qi. If you stay every day in the canyon, you will be completely acclimatized to the ‘will’ and once your body fully adapts to it, you will be able to pass.”

  Sun Mo explained.

  Simply speaking, it was like a human being trapped with a ferocious tiger. At the start, that human would surely feel fear and nervousness. But after they subdued their emotions, they could eat and sleep or even master*bate calmly, and that would be the time when they passed.

  “It’s actually like that?”

  Some people nodded and felt enlightened. They passed due to their talents, but as to what the true meaning of the murals was, they didn’t understand it or their understanding was incorrect.

  After all, this was like a fill-in-the-blank question. If you got the answer, you would have the points. But whether you got the answer from calculation or random guesses, it didn’t matter to the teacher marking the test.

  “As for the second stage, it is a little difficult. It tests everyone’s understanding of combat.

  “After all, the ancient Battle God is most proficient in combat. If those who entered the second part of the canyon didn’t have a unique understanding of their own combat style, they wouldn’t be able to pass.

  “One could say that the purpose of the Battle God is to allow you to have a comprehensive knowledge toward yourself.”

  Sun Mo continued explaining.

  “Mn, mn!”

  Everyone was extremely focused on listening. Some people even tore their sleeves and bit their fingers to record notes.

  “As for the third stage, it is actually not difficult. It’s a mutual process of getting familiar with the Battle God. Hence, for that stage, do your best to accept the sword qi and experience the sword will.”

  Sun Mo laughed. “One must know that sword will is similar to writing, speech, and habits. Each person will have their own style.

  “For the third stage, you have to go and understand the Battle God. If not, you will find it even harder to comprehend the murals in the latter parts.

  “I believe there’s a minority among the crowd who went back to restart their comprehension process of all the first two stages. After that, they gained new inspiration for this stage.”

  A few people in the crowd nodded. They passed like that.

  “The first three stages cannot really be considered hard. It’s a self-introduction of the Battle God. As for the fourth stage, this is the first truly difficult stage.”

  As Sun Mo spoke until here, everyone held their breaths as their eyes shone fervently.

  (Quickly say it, we are waiting for this.)

  Chapter 765: Who Says 6-star Great Teachers Can’t Be Taught a Lesson?

  “Hmph!”

  Fu Yanqing had a disdainful expression, but he also felt curious in his heart and wanted to know what Sun Mo would say.

  However, if there was no logic, he would lose his temper.

  (I will let you know the terrifying consequences of offending a 6-star great teacher.)

  “Since that ancient Battle God wants to impart his ultimate skill to a junior that’s both capable in ability and wisdom, he would surely leave some clues. After all, he didn’t cleave open a canyon just to prank people.”

  Sun Mo smiled. “So for this stage, it’s the same as the previous stages. There’s also a mural.”

  “Where?’

  Someone immediately asked.

  “Is it something we can only see after passing the stage?”

  Some people still believed themselves infallible, making a guess.

  “You guys are thinking too much.”

  Because of the massage, the baldy was in a good mood and he also revealed a small secret. “I once cultivated here for over ten months and saw people sneakily use all sorts of methods to ‘handle’ the stone wall. Using water to soak it, using fire to burn it, using urine, etc. However, none of them managed to get the mural to appear.”

  Upon hearing this, He Wei’s sharp gaze immediately turned over.

  In front of Sun Mo, he was willing to feign weakness because Sun Mo was a super large thigh and was his future. But when facing others, he wouldn’t be so amiable.

  When the watchdog of the Saint Gate bit people, it would bite very ferociously.

  “Don’t be noisy, let Great Teacher Sun speak!”

  Bai Hao berated. He wanted to understand the secret of the Battlegod Canyon more clearly.

  “The mural is actually right before your eyes.”

  Sun Mo revealed.

  Some people were clueless and even stretched their hands out to grab the air. A few people were more intelligent. They followed Sun Mo’s gaze over.

  However, these people were only a small portion. They soon noticed the mist.

  “The mist. I understand now. The mist that doesn’t dissipate.”

  A young man cried out excitedly like he had just discovered a new land. “So the reason why Great Teacher Sun climbed the stone wall was to view the mist from a higher angle. I think the shape of the mist must definitely be some mysterious diagram.”

  Swish~

  Everyone looked at Sun Mo, waiting for his answer.

  “You are really not bad! Great observation!”

  Sun Mo praised.

  The young man immediately felt agitated. He quickly bowed in delight. “Many thanks for Great Teacher Sun’s praise!”

  Actually, the young man had spent several months here with no harvests and he already felt quite discouraged. But Sun Mo’s words caused his confidence to surge again.

  After all, this was praise from God Hands.

  Everyone was marveling in admiration. The ancient Battle God was truly powerful and could actually use the mist to form murals. How magical was this?

  And Sun Mo actually discovered this. He was pretty amazing too.

  Bai Hao revealed an ashamed look when he realized this. Now that he thought about it, it was such a foolish action back then when he had tried to stop Sun Mo.

  “The flowing mist can form into various murals.”

  After Sun Mo finished speaking, the audience felt their spirits stirring and wanted nothing more than to climb the wall to take a look, causing He Wei to be badly frightened.

  “Let me repeat it again. Whoever damages the stone wall will be banished to the Darkness Continent. Do not disregard the rules!”

  He Wei shouted loudly.

  “But how can we comprehend if we don’t look at the mural?”

  Someone questioned.

  “Can you understand it even if you look at it?”

  He Wei spoke in disdain, “How many years has it been? How many people could see through the fact that the mist was the mural?”

  However, he had to report this to the Saint Gate. As Sun Mo exposed this fact, more people would surely be sneakily climbing the wall.

  “Great Teacher Sun, you are creating a difficult problem for me.”

  He Wei bitterly smiled.

  “Alright, stop the idle chat. Speak about the main point.”

  Fu Yanqing urged.

  “The test of this stage is to surpass oneself. No matter what method you use, as long as you can surpass yourself, you will be able to pass.”

  After Sun Mo spoke, silence met his words. This was because this topic was too profound.

  “Great Teacher Sun, what does this mean?”

  A youth had bewilderment in his eyes.

  “Simply speaking, you have to do something you weren’t able to do in the past.”

  “An example is this bald……eh……this brother. He used 11 months of non-stop assiduous cultivation to surpass his previous limits. As for Bai Hao, Great Teacher Bai, he successfully passed this stage through death. He gained comprehension from ‘revival’ and got a new understanding of himself, surpassing the old him.

  “Then, let’s look at Great Teacher Fu’s case.”

  Sun Mo glanced at Fu Yanqing. “You thought that you passed the stage because you comprehended the sword will here, leading to your breakthrough. Actually, things were contrary. You passed because you leveled up and achieved the condition of surpassing yourself.”

  Fu Yanqing fell silent.

  “If my judgment isn’t wrong, back then you were surely stuck at a bottleneck for at least two years or more.”

  Although Divine Sight had no way to check Fu Yanqing’s data, Sun Mo dared to guarantee this.

  Everyone turned to the 6-star great teacher. Although Fu Yanqing didn’t reply, everyone understood that Sun Mo’s guess was correct.

  At this moment, Fu Yanqing had a heavy expression on his face, and a hint of admiration appeared in his heart. This was because Sun Mo was correct. But in an instant, the hint of admiration turned to helplessness and reluctance.

  (The answer I originally had is actually a mistake?)

  This discovery made Fu Yanqing feel very disappointed. This was especially so after he considered Sun Mo’s age as well as his speed of comprehending the murals. All these caused him to be psychologically impacted.

  “Each new generation excels the previous one!”

  Fu Yanqing suddenly felt that he was very old and the younger generations were fearsome. He had always thought that he was in a golden age in terms of his career, but who knew that he would be defeated so badly by Sun Mo.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Fu Yanqing +100. Friendly (212/1,000).

  “Wow, Teacher is too impressive!”

  Qin Yaoguang clapped when she saw Sun Mo speaking frankly with assurance, causing Fu Yanqing to be speechless.

  “That’s only natural!”

  Lu Zhiruo had never doubted this point.

  Li Ziqi and Ying Baiwu smiled. This was something very normal, so there was no need to cheer. Because such a small scene like this was not worth it.

  “I really anticipate our teacher facing off against a secondary saint!”

  Jiang Leng, who had always been a man of few words, suddenly spoke, almost scaring everyone to death.

  “Are you too overly optimistic?”

  Tantai Yutang’s lips twitched. After that, he discovered his martial siblings glaring at him fiercely. Even the two recently joined ones were doing the same thing. Hence, he hurriedly waved his hands in apology.

  “I was wrong!”

  The sickly invalid mentally mused that he would go and antagonize a secondary saint tomorrow. (I wonder if Teacher would shield me?)

  “Great Teacher Fu, do you still have anything you want to say?”

  Sun Mo asked.

  Fu Yanqing actually wanted to rebut, but his rationale didn’t permit him to do so. Because he was a genius and a 6-star great teacher, he immediately understood that Sun Mo was correct after his explanation.

  If he continued doubting, he would be embarrassing himself.

  “I, Fu Yanqing, am impressed.”

  Fu Yanqing clasped his fist, After that, he turned and left, no longer having any face to remain behind.

  Si~

  Jin Mujie took in a cold gasp of air and stared dumbfoundedly at Sun Mo. (I didn’t expect that other than having beautiful bones, you also have such an outstanding brain.)

  (What should I do?)

  (I really want to cut your head off and soak it inside a jar, make it into a specimen and keep it as a collection forever!)

  “Sun Mo!”

  Gu Xiuxun flashed a thumbs-up. As for Mei Ziyu beside her, she was smiling.

  “Thanks!”

  Sun Mo nodded slightly, thanking everyone for their support.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations on winning against a 6-star great teacher with a lot of people witnessing. Reward: 1x mysterious treasure chest.”

  The system congratulated him.

  Winning against a 6-star great teacher ought to be a major thing that would cause a huge commotion. However, the surrounding audience didn’t care about that.

  Because at this moment, the thing they were most concerned about was whether they could clear the stage or not.

  “Great Teacher Sun, if I commit suicide, would I be able to pass?”

  An old man clasped his fists and sought help.

  “Have you not understood it yet? Committing suicide isn’t a way to pass the stage. You have to surpass yourself. For many people, it would be meaningless even if they committed suicide.”

  Sun Mo explained.

  If banging one’s head into the stone wall could make them eligible to pass, they would really be underestimating the ancient Battle God’s test.

  “Great Teacher Sun……for this stage, other than dying, even if we are heavily injured to the point of our limbs breaking, we won’t die or suffer for real, right?”

  Someone managed to grasp the main point.

  “Yes. Actually, everyone standing here is a body of consciousness. Or more likely, this stage must have been constructed using a certain darkness secret art. When you pass, your original body will automatically appear in the fifth part of the canyon.”

  After Sun Mo spoke, another round of exclamations rang out.

  “Teacher Sun, you harmed me!”

  He Wei walked over with a bitter smile on his face. “So many people will soon pass in one go. What should I do in the future?”

  “Yeah, and from now onward, because of Sun Mo’s guidance, the first four stages of the Battlegod Canyon wouldn’t be a test anymore.”

  The assistant also had a bitter look on his face.

  The Battlegod Town was a business that belonged to the Saint Gate, so the staff would get a part of the taxes paid every year.

  Just like the saying, ‘a mountain dweller lives off the mountain and the shore dweller lives off the sea’, if the cultivators who came here to comprehend the murals stayed longer, the staff would also get more money.

  Unfortunately for them, Sun Mo had told everyone the ‘answer’, and they would be able to save three years of effort. Just by thinking about the amount of money lost, the assistant felt his heart aching.

  “Quiet!”

  He Wei berated. “You are really foolish. When the matters of today are leaked, what do you think those people who came here before but had no harvest would do?

  “They would directly enter the fifth part of the canyon, and their distance from the Battlegod Catalog would be greatly reduced. If it was you, would you come and try it?”

  “That’s for sure!”

  The assistant nodded heavily but soon felt a headache. With more people, it also meant that the amount of work he had to do would increase.

  “But do you know what I’m the most afraid of?”

  He Wei kept the suspense.

  “What?”

  The assistant was curious.

  “If Great Teacher Sun directly comprehended all the murals and obtained the Battlegod Catalog, wouldn’t we lose our jobs?”

  He Wei chortled. “After all, the legends state that if someone managed to comprehend this absolute divine art, those murals would vanish.”

  “Ah? It can’t be, right?”

  The assistant jumped in fright. If he lost his job, how would he support his family? But after that, he felt he was too rude and hurriedly smiled apologetically at Sun Mo.

  Looking at his assistant’s appearance, He Wei involuntarily cursed in his heart.

  (Fool, I’m just fawning over him. You even believed that?)

  The Battlegod Canyon had been here for tens of thousands of years. Could Sun Mo really comprehend everything just because he was here? Was he the favorite child of the heavens, hmm?

  There might really be a day like that in the future when Sun Mo became an extremely famous great teacher and succeeded in getting the Battlegod Catalog. However, the time was not now.

  With regard to this, He Wei even dared to use his head as a bet.

  “System, stop being in a daze and quickly give me the rewards. My performance this time around probably can get me a mysterious treasure chest, right?”

  Sun Mo urged.

  Chapter 766: The Host This Time around Is Indeed a Little Impressive!

  There were many people gathered at the entrance of the Battlegod Canyon. All of them were stretching their necks and constantly peering within, wanting to know what the situation was.

  Although they didn’t have the qualifications to enter the fourth part of the canyon, it wouldn’t obstruct them from paying attention. After all, even salted fish had the desire to overturn their situations.

  And there was an 80 to 90% chance that Sun Mo was their springboard.

  “It’s Great Teacher Fu!!”

  “Great Teacher Fu came out!”

  He was the first person who exited the valley. If it wasn’t for the fact that Fu Yanqing’s status was too high, there would already be people who couldn’t control their urge and ask him.

  But even so, after a short period of whispering, someone finally asked the question.

  “Great Teacher Fu, can I please ask how’s the situation within? Did Great Teacher Sun succeed in his comprehension?”

  Fu Yanqing, who was in contemplation, suddenly trembled when he heard this. He subconsciously glanced at that person. After that, he turned and looked at the fourth part of the canyon before shaking his head and continuing on his way.

  “Surpass oneself? The reason is actually this?”

  Fu Yanqing’s pride was still crumbling. It wouldn’t be so easy if he wanted to build it back up.

  It was like a three-time e-sports champion being beaten so badly by a primary school kid that he became autistic. It was already very commendable that he didn’t delete his account and start again.

  “This Sun Mo is somewhat capable. I wonder which stage he would be able to reach?”

  Fu Yanqing sighed ruefully. “Could he really decipher all the murals in the canyon and obtain the Battlegod Catalog?”

  After thinking of this, Fu Yanqing laughed involuntarily.

  (I’m too naive.)

  (For this matter, even if he was a genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years, he still wouldn’t be able to do it. After all, the Battlegod Canyon has existed for so long and no one has managed to clear it.)

  “However, I hope you really can break through and pass the sixth stage.”

  At this moment, Fu Yanqing felt so conflicted that he wanted to die.

  He knew that for himself, if he wanted to comprehend the murals on the sixth part of the canyon, he had to stay at least ten years here, but the thing he lacked most was time.

  Hence, he wanted to make use of Sun Mo. However, once Sun Mo completed it, it was a type of absolute dominance over himself.

  When the people spoke about Sun Mo’s feat in the Battlegod Canyon, they would use his name as a comparison. Who told him to be the highest-ranked great teacher here in Battlegod Town?!

  “I shouldn’t have come!”

  Fu Yanqing suddenly felt some regret. ……

  “What did he mean when he shook his head? Did Sun Mo fail?”

  Sun Mo doubted.

  “That shouldn’t be the case. If Sun Mo died, the crowd would have dispersed. It can’t be that Sun Mo’s corpse is nicer to look at when compared to courtesans, right?”

  “That means he succeeded?”

  “That might be the case. Look at Fu Yanqing’s expression, he is very disappointed and he might be psychologically impacted by Sun Mo’s success.”

  “Haha stop talking nonsense. Do you think 6-star great teachers are cabbages that Sun Mo can manipulate at his will?”

  Since everyone was free, they started to guess randomly. After that, they waited but no one came out.

  There would naturally be no one.

  Now that Sun Mo had revealed the true meaning of this stage, they would naturally not care about other things and immediately focus on clearing the stage after thanking Sun Mo.

  Coming out to inform these busybodies?

  (Sorry, I would even find it a waste of time if I have to urinate.) ……

  In the fourth part of the canyon, everyone came one by one toward Sun Mo and bowed to him.

  “Many thanks to Great Teacher Sun for being so generous to guide us!”

  This was a scholar.

  “Great Teacher Sun, a mere ‘thank you’ is an insufficient response to a huge favor. In the future, when you go to Western Jing, you have to remember to find me at the Virtuous Gathering Manor. I will take care of all your food and lodging, and you can choose any beautiful courtesan in Western Jing. If I, Wang, don’t have enough face and cannot invite them, I will kidnap them for you.”

  This was a major character. When he spoke malicious words, he exuded an extremely generous feeling.

  “Teacher Sun, this student thank you.”

  This was a great teacher. Because he received Sun Mo’s guidance, he had to refer to himself as a student according to the rules.

  Sun Mo returned the gesture. His expression didn’t change and he had the demeanor of a great teacher. However, he was wildly joyful in his heart. The number of favorable impression points he was receiving was so much that he felt his hands go soft.

  Some were truly grateful to Sun Mo and directly contributed over a thousand points, and the others were only slightly grateful and contributed a few hundred points.

  Naturally, the few who contributed only tens of points were silently remembered by Sun Mo as he made a mental note about them.

  In any case, before he revealed any more true meanings in the future, he would first drive those people away.

  (Do they really think I’m so magnanimous and my heart state is so vast that I can contain a ship in my belly?)

  Ding!

  “In view of your outstanding performance, there’s a super mission issued at the last minute. Please continue to work hard and try your best to clear all the stages. The more stages you clear in the Battlegod Canyon, the better the rewards will be.”

  The system suddenly spoke.

  “F***!”

  Sun Mo couldn’t control it and directly cursed, “It’s one thing that there’s no reward for my current achievements, but you are even giving out a mission? Are you still human?”

  “Sorry, I’m a system, I don’t have feelings!”

  The system’s reply was cold and emotionless.

  “What if I comprehend the Battlegod Catalog?”

  Sun Mo’s mind spun rapidly. From the mission the system issued, he could be sure that the Battlegod Catalog did exist.

  “Are you dreaming?”

  The system swiftly shot back.

  “Are you blind then? To choose me as your host?”

  Sun Mo instantly replied. (As a system that has chosen me, why don’t you believe in my talent?)

  “That’s called choosing a general among dwarves. Have you not heard of this before?”

  The system spoke in contempt.

  If it wasn’t for the fact that he had to mind his image before his students, Sun Mo would have erupted in anger.

  “Alright, alright. If you really manage to comprehend the Battlegod Catalog, I will give you……”

  The system paused.

  “What will you give me?”

  Sun Mo’s lips twitched. “If I manage to do it, wouldn’t I be a genius that has not been seen in ten thousand years? Are you not honored if you could have such a host? Shouldn’t you reward me greatly? Why are you hesitating?”

  “System, I’ve misjudged you. We have to break off relations, we definitely have to!”

  “What’s that?”

  The system counter-asked.

  Pui!

  Sun Mo spat a mouthful of saliva.

  “Alright, alright. If you can do it, I’ll give you ten great teacher emblems. How about it? I’m really bleeding here.”

  The system consoled Sun Mo.

  Honestly speaking, it was still very satisfied with Sun Mo.

  Sun Mo had actually depended on his own intellect to see that the murals were a type of spirit runes and comprehended their true meanings. He understood fundamentally the tempering trial that ancient Battle God had set up.

  (Alright, I will admit that my host is a little impressive this time around.)

  (I feel proud because of my judgment!)

  “Scram for me!” Sun Mo was unhappy. “Why are you bullying an honest guy?”

  “I’m wrongly accused!” The system wanted to cry. “The great teacher emblems are definitely good stuff!”

  “Pui!”

  Sun Mo cursed. “Up until now, I don’t even know what they can be used for. Also, are they very hard to obtain? I have 15 of them now. Other than occupying space in the inventory, what can they do?”

  “.……”

  The system was astonished and actually had no way to rebut. After thinking carefully, Sun Mo truly had a lot of great teacher emblems. B……but……

  The previous hosts were not so wealthy and if they could get one every year, it would already be considered a very great result.

  One must know that great teacher emblems could only be obtained after the host had achieved a great teacher feat. That meant Sun Mo had just arrived in this world for two years and actually achieved so many great teacher feats?

  Upon thinking of this, the system was shocked.

  (Could it be that Sun Mo is more impressive than what I expected?)

  “Why? Not talking anymore?”

  Sun Mo spoke in disdain.

  “Alright, I was in the wrong. Okay, how about this, what do you want?”

  In order to regain its prestige, the system decided to be generous for once. “Just feel free to say it. I will give you the highest reward I can give within the scope of my authority.”

  “Let me go home!”

  Sun Mo directly suggested.

  “That’s impossible!”

  The system immediately rejected this.

  “Hehe, I was just joking.”

  Sun Mo mentally mused, ‘I was just testing you’. Actually, even if the system allowed him to go back, he didn’t want to.

  What could he do if he returned?

  Continue to be a teacher in the No.2 High School?

  With no money and no background, he would at most be head of the year his entire life, and he would have to burn huge amounts of incense to thank his ancestors if he could really do so. He wouldn’t even be able to become a vice headmaster.

  Even if he worked hard and became the head of department after ten years, what was the point?

  He would only earn a little more. Could he be able to afford a villa?

  When he got sick, would he be able to cut the queue and get the best doctor to treat him?

  As for women, given his occupation and salary, even a 5/10 girl would disdain him, let alone 7/10 girls.

  Those pretty girls belonged to the affluent second-generations or the wealthy people.

  However, in the Nine Provinces, he was the vice headmaster of a famous school. Although the school’s grading wasn’t very good now, it would only improve.

  The most important thing was that as a mighty new rising superstar, if Sun Mo got sick, he could casually look for the best doctors to treat him.

  Naturally, given Sun Mo’s physique, it wouldn’t be easy even if he wanted to fall sick.

  Also, he was currently living in a villa with a maid gifted by the prime minister who had served three generations of the empire. The maid was even skilled in zither, poetry, chess, and painting. She wasn’t inferior to any celebrities of the modern era.

  The best part was…… he could sleep with her any time he wanted to.

  He even had an extremely talented fiancee that was a ranker on the Beauty Rankings. Moreover, his personal students respected and loved him, and he also had a few bosom buddies.

  When he thought of this, Sun Mo glanced at Gu Xiuxun and Mei Ziyu.

  (Speaking of which, I’ve treated you guys like my bosom buddies.)

  After that, Sun Mo turned his gaze onto Jin Mujie. (Would there be a chance for a ‘more-than-friends’ relationship to occur between me and her?)

  (Aiya, as a great teacher, how can my thinking be so shameless? I blame myself! Yes, I should feel self-reproach!)

  After that, Sun Mo smiled. (Only retards would think of going back. The only ones I’ve let down are possibly my parents. Sigh, it would be good if I can return frequently to see them.)

  “How about this? If you really manage to get the Battlegod Catalog, you can choose any subject you want and I will raise its expertise level directly to the grandmaster level. However, please note that the process is extremely dangerous, and it’s very possible that your brain might be damaged due to the large amount of information transmitted over.”

  The system went all out.

  Sun Mo frowned. “Would I become a retard?”

  “No!”

  Just when Sun Mo was at ease, he heard the second half.

  “But you will be crippled!”

  “.……”

  Sun Mo wanted to hit someone.

  “Do you want it?”

  The system continued to ask and spoke with some disdain, “Daring to bargain with me? You can be considered a unique one among the hosts I had.”

  “Even C. Ronaldo and Lionel Messi dared to ask for a salary increase.”

  Sun Mo rolled his eyes. “Those with ability naturally would want more money. What’s the matter? Would you be willing to work for free?”

  “Enough, enough. I can’t outtalk you. So do you want that or not?”

  The system conceded.

  “I want!”

  Sun Mo was joyful. “Just so coincidentally, I have zero knowledge about alchemy. I might as well use this chance to learn it. Grandmaster-level? Perfect!”

  “Teacher Sun? Teacher Sun?”

  The audience had left and only people on their side remained. Jin Mujie wanted to ask a few personal questions, but she only saw Sun Mo in a daze and would even occasionally flash a silly smile, completely ignoring her.

  Was there a need to be so happy just because he had defeated a 6-star great teacher?

  Jin Mujie thought about it. Mn, it was only natural. If she was in his shoes, she might even book the entire brothel and be drunk while having fun for three days and nights.

  Chapter 767: This Sun Mo Is a Distinguished and Accomplished Man!

  “The prerequisite is that you can comprehend the Battlegod Catalog. Enough, let’s stop talking nonsense. Just work hard for now!”

  Honestly speaking, this reward was a little ‘big’. But from the point of view of the system, since Sun Mo wouldn’t be able to accomplish it, it didn’t matter how ‘big’ the reward it promised.

  (In any case, it can show that I’m generous and magnanimous, behaving with integrity.)

  “Oh, what can I do for you, Teacher Jin?”

  Sun Mo regained his senses.

  “Calling me ‘Teacher’? Are you joking with me?”

  Jin Mujie rolled her eyes. “I just want to know this. Didn’t you say you have to surpass yourself if you want to clear the stage? As for you, which aspect of yourself did you surpass?”

  The others immediately pricked their ears and felt extremely curious.

  “I think it’s experiencing arrogance without restraint.”

  Sun Mo smiled.

  “What do you mean?”

  Gu Xiuxun frowned. Wasn’t that a bad personality trait?

  (In the past, I’ve always been inflexible, acting according to convention. When crossing the roads, I wouldn’t dare to ignore the traffic light, when I’m queuing up, I would do so orderly. Let alone killing someone, I have never even fought people before.)

  Sun Mo silently thought of this, but when he verbalized it, he gave casual examples relating to this era.

  Breaking the law?

  That didn’t exist. Even during examinations, Sun Mo wouldn’t copy a single answer from anyone.

  “I feel that as a Battle God, he ought to have a type of arrogance. Why does he need to care about logic? The war ax in his hands is logic itself. If you are unconvinced, he will beat you until you do.”

  Honestly speaking, when a country fought against another country, that was indeed the case.

  Whoever fists were bigger, would be the one on the side of logic.

  The loser had to relinquish territories as reparations, and their citizens would become slaves of a vanquished nation.

  Between humans, if there were no laws or etiquette to restrict people, things would be the same. Hence, Sun Mo wanted to experience what it felt like when one had enough strength to ride roughshod through all secular laws.

  Hence, he acted and exploded Bai Hao’s head with a single attack.

  “If your judgment was wrong, Bai Hao would really die. What do you plan to do then? For the sake of face, the revenge by the Westshore Military School would surely be extremely ruthless and intense.”

  Jin Mujie asked again.

  “If I knew Bai Hao wouldn’t die for real. How could I be considered to have ‘surpassed myself’ when I exploded his head?”

  Sun Mo smiled and revealed his pearly whites. “Back then I’ve thought about it. If Bai Hao really died, I would bear all the consequences.”

  “If a man doesn’t face a storm in his lifetime, how can he be called a man?”

  Swish~

  Motes of golden light manifested as Priceless Advice was activated.

  This caused the surrounding people to subconsciously glance over. However, they smiled when they saw Sun Mo and treated it as something normal.

  “Golden Sentences Sun, can you stop with your magic?”

  Gu Xiuxun was a little helpless. (Do you have to flaunt your outstandingness? Will you die if you don’t say a golden sentence within three days? However, his words do have flavor.)

  The others fell silent. This was especially so for Helian Beifang. He was so agitated that he found it hard to contain himself. He clutched the hilt of his weapon several times and released it. He felt that that was something a man living in the world should aspire to.

  Constantly facing adversity, constantly fighting and killing!

  “How handsome!”

  Li Ruolan moved closer and wanted to take a clearer shot. After all, for some reason, she couldn’t get enough of looking at Sun Mo today.

  He was definitely an outstanding man whom she would give ten marks to.

  Even if she gave Sun Mo one more mark, there was no need for him to feel arrogant.

  “Alright, go and comprehend!”

  Sun Mo didn’t want to continue this topic anymore.

  Actually, the behavior of killing Bai Hao was very selfish and unfair to Bai Hao. But was there true fairness in the world?

  Since Bai Hao jumped out to criticize him, he had to pay a price for his actions. Now that he didn’t die and actually comprehended this stage instead, one could say that it was a good and joyous ending.

  “The number of storms you are facing is quite a lot.”

  Jin Mujie teased. How many things had Sun Mo experienced after he started as a teacher? To think that he could really shoulder everything. “Oh right, call me Sister Jin. You will be treating me as an outsider if you keep calling me Teacher Jin.”

  Sun Mo laughed. After that, he headed toward the exit.

  Lu Lin stood at a location somewhat far away to eavesdrop on the conversation here. He suddenly felt a deep veneration for Sun Mo and felt that he had found a new direction to advance toward in his life.

  “I want to be a man like that!”

  Lu Lin decided. ……

  Bai Hao stood beneath a stone wall and had been paying close attention to Sun Mo. Although he had comprehended this stage, he didn’t enter the fifth part of the canyon because he wanted to enter at the same time as Sun Mo and compete with him. But who knew that Sun Mo actually chose to head out.

  “What is he doing?”

  Bai Hao was astonished. He discovered that he basically couldn’t guess Sun Mo. After that, he suddenly felt depressed and reluctant.

  He treated Sun Mo as an opponent, but Sun Mo didn’t care about him at all.

  How sorrowful. ……

  Why did Sun Mo leave?

  Naturally, it was to harvest favorable impression points!

  These people heard his guidance, but they wanted to quickly comprehend this stage and didn’t head out to spread the news. How abominable.

  Since they were not going to do it, he would do it himself.

  “Speaking of which, would I seem a little ‘low’ by doing this?”

  Sun Mo was conflicted.

  “Quickly look, Sun Mo has exited!”

  As a shout rang out, the waiting people immediately crowded over.

  “Teacher Sun, how is it?”

  “Did you clear the stage?”

  “Aiya, Great Teacher Sun, can you say something? I’m so anxious that I could die.”

  Everyone started talking, surrounding Sun Mo and not letting him leave.

  “Everyone, please excuse me. I’m a little tired!”

  Sun Mo had a calm look on his face and a humble attitude.

  After hearing this, many people showed looks of disappointment on their faces and thought that this was an excuse for Sun Mo’s failure.

  “Everyone, let’s disperse. Clearly, it was a failure.”

  “I’ve said it. The murals of the Battlegod Canyon are so difficult. How can someone who came for a week comprehend them?”

  “Ai, seems like Sun Mo is merely so-so.”

  The people here gradually dispersed. After all, no matter how they thought, they wouldn’t have imagined that Sun Mo would publicly share the true meaning of the fourth stage of the Battlegod Canyon earlier.

  However, a few people still chose to follow Sun Mo.

  Although Sun Mo had failed to comprehend the fourth stage, God Hands weren’t fake. Hence, they wanted to console Sun Mo, so their relationships could grow closer. In that case, if they asked for a massage in the future, they wouldn’t be so easily rejected.

  These people followed Sun Mo to Bai Cha’s tea store.

  Right now, the fact that Sun Mo preferred the strange bitter-tasting tea was no longer a secret.

  Bai Cha sat on a stool and was smoking on his tobacco pipe. When he saw Sun Mo, he laughed and didn’t say anything. He directly stood up and steeped a pot of tea.

  “Taste it, I specially prepared it for you.”

  Bai Cha smiled. He wouldn’t tell Sun Mo that this was a good tea he had kept for 20 years, something he wouldn’t take out for customers easily.

  “Oh? Is it good?”

  Sun Mo lifted the teacup and smelled it. It was really fragrant. After that, he drank a mouthful of it. This coffee was extremely bitter.

  “Life is like this white tea. If there’s no bitterness, how can we appreciate and experience what sweetness is?”

  Bai Cha sat in front of Sun Mo.

  “Haha, you want to be my life tutor?”

  Sun Mo laughed.

  “Stop acting. We can be considered to have similar interests. If you have something burdening you, you can just tell me. After that, you will forget everything after a good night of sleep and continue fighting tomorrow.”

  Bai Cha puffed a mouthful of smoke and spoke with a hint of commemoration in his voice, “I know that bearing the pain forcefully is very painful.”

  “Huh? But I’m not bearing any pain?”

  Sun Mo counter-asked. He had roughly guessed Bai Cha’s thoughts. Bai Cha wanted to console Sun Mo and he was very gratified. He was at ease now. After all, there was someone who showed interest in the topic of clearing the stage now.

  (If not, how can I flaunt and earn favorable impression points?)

  “Eh? Didn’t you fail in comprehending the true meaning of the murals?”

  Bai Cha was puzzled.

  “Who told you that?”

  Sun Mo asked with a smile.

  “I deduced it. If you succeeded, you would still be in the canyon to comprehend the other murals, how would you be in the mood to come out and drink tea?”

  Bai Cha had a ‘I’m very awesome’ look on his face as he looked at Sun Mo. “Also, your expression is the same as men holding back their tears forcefully after being dumped by their girlfriends.”

  “Sorry, your conjecture is wrong!”

  Sun Mo laughed loudly and drank a mouthful of the white tea.

  “Huh?”

  Bai Cha scratched his ear. “You mean……?”

  “I succeeded!”

  Sun Mo shrugged.

  “Boss, get me a cup of……Eh?!”

  The few people who followed Sun Mo had prepared to order some tea to drink when they entered. After that, they realize that they didn’t have a chance to talk to Sun Mo and actually heard these words in the end, causing all of them to be startled.

  “You succeeded……?”

  “In comprehending the murals?”

  “Why did you exit then?”

  Three questions were instantly blasted out.

  “Yeah, why did you exit then?”

  Boss Bai Cha was astonished. Usually speaking, after someone comprehended the murals and passed the stage, they would stay for a period in the next stage and would ignore everything else. (Could it be that you have no interest in the true meaning of the next stage’s murals?)

  “There’s no solution to it. The true meanings are too simple. I can comprehend them just by casually taking a look and it’s really meaningless. Hence, I decided to come out and drink tea!”

  Sun Mo teased.

  Such words caused the people in the tea store to subconsciously stretch out their hands to the stools beside them. However, they stopped and simply picked up the pot of tea on their table.

  (I really feel like beating you up.)

  (I want to let you know why the flowers are red!)

  (Do you dare to flaunt more?)

  Bai Cha started but very soon, he started laughing. He then revealed his molars due to smiling widely, and the laugh turned into a hearty one as he kept slapping his thigh.

  “So that’s the case, so that’s the case!”

  Bai Cha laughed until his tears came out. “Not bad. For young people, if they didn’t flaunt after doing amazing things, wouldn’t that be no different from the wealthy not returning to their hometown to show off their expensive clothes at night?”

  “Old man, how can we chat properly seeing how you are acting?”

  Sun Mo was helpless. “It’s good enough if you know it. There’s no need to say it out loud!”

  After hearing Sun Mo generously admitting it instead of shamelessly denying, Bai Cha laughed even louder. Interesting, this guy was extremely interesting!

  Sun Mo was truly a wonderful person.

  He had to drink a cup of tea to toast him!

  “Just wait here, I will go and prepare a few dishes, and we will have to drink a few cups today!”

  Bai Cha hurried away and entered the kitchen.

  “What’s the situation? Did I mishear?”

  “What to do now?”

  “Don’t ask me, I’m also stunned.”

  The few of them exchanged glances. The plan in their minds was now disrupted.

  Console Sun Mo?

  To better their relationship?

  They were thinking too much. Sun Mo didn’t fail at all, alright?

  After that, intense reverence and respect rose in their hearts.

  The gazes of both parties matched. Sun Mo smiled and nodded.

  The few of them immediately stood up properly due to fear and trepidation. They smiled and bowed slightly.

  (There’s no solution to it. Results are considered status.)

  How long had Sun Mo entered the Battlegod Canyon? However, he had comprehended so many things!

  For such a person, was he someone they could easily make friends with?

  They were deeply afraid that they would anger Sun Mo if their expressions were the slightest bit wrong. After all, Sun Mo was someone who had the highest chance of clearing the Battlegod Canyon.

  The few of them exchanged glances and thought the same thing. Tonight, a commotion was going to rise in Battlegod Town.

  Sun Mo shot to fame after a single fight!

  Chapter 768: What’s the Meaning of the Battle God Diagram?

  Bai Cha’s culinary skill wasn’t bad. He made a few extremely delicious family dishes and a flask of drunken linglong tea. The supper was truly enjoyable.

  The Middle-Earth Nine Provinces were the same as ancient China. There were four classes namely scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. However, Sun Mo didn’t disdain Bai Cha for his low social status. In fact, he felt that Bai Cha was good at conversing, and his knowledge was vast and profound.

  Most probably, before he came to the Darkness Continent to start a tea store, he had roamed the Nine Provinces.

  “We shouldn’t reminisce about our past!”

  Bai Cha sighed ruefully. He then lifted the wine cup. “Come, let’s drink!”

  After drinking, Sun Mo, who was a little tipsy, returned to his camp and took an afternoon nap. After he woke up, he climbed up to the peak of a mountain filled with maple trees and started to meditate.

  He felt that he was so happy that he could float. So other than having to arrange the spirit runes he extracted from the murals during this period, he had to adjust his mental state too.

  Humans shouldn’t be too complacent!

  The sun set quickly.

  The moon rose and its light painted the ground with a layer of white.

  “The scenery is so beautiful.”

  Sun Mo deeply inhaled and couldn’t control his poetic urges. “Forsaking me, Yesterday was gone though I had my share. Confounding my heart, today’s loaded with even more care!* Eh, what’s next……?”

  Sun Mo recited two sentences and suddenly forgot the latter part of the poem.

  There was no solution to it. After all, in the modern world, all college examinations would have this type of famous ancient sayings. Hence, he memorized only the keywords of some of them.

  “Ai, I should have studied harder. Now I can’t even pretend to be a scholar!”

  Sun Mo had a self-mocking smile on his face. Luckily, he was alone on this mountain peak or things would truly be very embarrassing.

  At this moment, a sigh of regret entered his ears.

  “A stalker?”

  Sun Mo immediately turned and his sharp gaze swept over. However, other than the stone statue, he didn’t see anyone else.

  “Damn, it isn’t too good to be famous. Could it be that I got locked on by a pervert? Who can bear this?”

  Sun Mo started to hesitate. (Should I be more low profile from now on?)

  After admiring the night scenery for a while more, Sun Mo descended the mountain. He didn’t eat dinner and headed directly straight to the Battlegod Canyon, preparing to comprehend the murals at the fifth part of the canyon.

  Originally, there weren’t many people in this part of the canyon, but because of Sun Mo’s lecture, there were close to 100 people here.

  Honestly speaking, the aptitudes of these people were not bad. They weren’t able to clear the stage because they didn’t manage to find the correct method. Now, with Sun Mo’s help, they could get double the results with half the effort.

  “Great Teacher Sun, you are here?”

  “Great Teacher Sun, good evening!”

  “Teacher, if you have any instructions, please feel free to say it!”

  Cultivators who saw Sun Mo all took the initiative to greet him respectfully. A few people were even respectfully addressing him as their teacher.

  One must know that such a term of address wouldn’t be used recklessly. Once it was used, it meant that the person admitted that their learning and moral character were inferior to the other party and that they were willing to take the role of a student. Upon meeting the other party, the person would execute etiquette as that of a student.

  Sun Mo displayed a societal smile so others wouldn’t feel that he was cold. He wouldn’t make people feel that he was warm either to maintain a certain degree of prestige so not any Tom, Dick, or Harry would dare to head up to talk to him.

  Sun Mo’s time was very short. How would he have time to chat idly with strangers?

  “Teacher!”

  Li Ziqi and the others also hurried over to greet him. The other students of the Central Province Academy didn’t dare to neglect Sun Mo either.

  “Everyone, go and comprehend the murals!”

  Sun Mo swept his gaze over and was very satisfied. Even the honest guy who had the weakest talent had also entered.

  Honestly speaking, this stage was the most friendly to Qi Shengjia. Because this fellow had always been overloading himself in terms of training, it fit the criteria of surpassing oneself very much.

  “Sun Mo, do you have any discoveries?”

  Gu Xiuxun walked over and asked directly.

  “Are you asking this because you are too lazy to comprehend things?”

  Sun Mo teased.

  “Why should I even bother trying to comprehend? With a ‘walking answer’ like you here, I feel that comprehending myself is so foolish. In any case, wouldn’t you understand the true meaning of the murals after two to three days?”

  Gu Xiuxun rolled her eyes.

  She knew her own limits very well. Even if she spent half a month, her harvest wouldn’t be great. At that time, when Sun Mo revealed the true meaning of the stage, she would surely be unable to help it and want to listen. Hence, it was pretty meaningless for her to comprehend.

  “You really trust me a lot.”

  Sun Mo smiled.

  Mei Ziyu was covering her mouth and secretly laughing as well. She was very fond of such an atmosphere when friends were chatting.

  At this moment, the people in this part of the canyon suddenly felt their spirits stirring and were seriously staring in the direction of the stone wall. Some even stared fixedly and didn’t dare to blink as they were deeply afraid they might miss something.

  “What’s going on?”

  Sun Mo frowned.

  “.……”

  Gu Xiuxun was speechless. She directly threw a light punch at Sun Mo. “Can you handle it? Don’t tell me you have never even seen such a scene before?”

  As 8 p.m. arrived, the murals on both sides began to shine with a red light. After that, the murals of war seemed to be capable of moving. There were even shouts of killing and an army galloping on horses.

  After that, over ten balls of red light shot out from the murals, and they turned into soldiers armed with helmets and body armor. Their killing intent surged rampantly.

  One could tell that these things were dangerous with just a glance, but those cultivators actually rushed over in unison.

  “We said not to snatch, right? Each person has their turn. Don’t you understand human speech?”

  “Who the hell do you think you are?”

  “Snatch them. Whoever managed to do so will gain possession of them.”

  The scene was chaotic. Some of them even fought instead of talking for the sake of seizing the soldiers.

  “Ever since I entered, at each exact hour, the murals would release red light and generate soldiers that are relevant to the time.”

  Gu Xiuxun introduced as she took out her pocket watch to show Sun Mo. “For example, it’s exactly eight o`clock now and there are eight soldiers!”

  “Could the secret of clearing the stages be on these soldiers?”

  Sun Mo asked.

  “I don’t know!”

  Gu Xiuxun shook her head. “But there’s definitely a connection.”

  “Why are those people not snatching the soldiers?”

  Sun Mo noticed that some people didn’t move.

  “Those people have entered this part of the canyon long ago and have personally fought these soldiers before. However, they gained nothing from it. This is why they are so calm now and are watching by the side.”

  Mei Ziyu reminded him in a low voice, “Do you want to persuade Xuanyuan Po?”

  That little fellow was a combat addict and basically wouldn’t care about the consequences. He was clearly a noob at the Spirit-Refinement Realm, but he actually dared to attempt to snatch the soldiers from experts at the Divine Force and Longevity Realm!

  “If he was not your student, he would have long since been beaten to death.”

  Gu Xiuxun sighed. Although Xuanyuan Po’s talent was off-the-charts, his personality truly couldn’t make it. In the future, there was an 80 to 90% chance that he would die in this sort of brash fighting.

  “Xuanyuan, stop!”

  Sun Mo shouted.

  “Teacher, if we snatched one, we would still have a chance. If we do nothing, we won’t have any clue.”

  Xuanyuan Po was firm and persistent. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to snatch anything. Hence, he walked to the edge of the area where the soldiers were. And if there were a chance to, he would exchange a few moves with one of the soldiers before rapidly retreating.

  Normally, the major characters here would have long since berated him or even beaten him up. But they didn’t act because they wanted to give face to Sun Mo.

  Helian Beifang might love fighting too, but he was much more rational compared to Xuanyuan Po.

  “Xuanyuan Po, I told you to stop!”

  Sun Mo frowned. “When you encounter a problem, you have to observe and ponder first. What’s the use of rushing ahead so frantically?”

  Sun Mo had another sentence he didn’t say. (Can’t you let these people act as guinea pigs to face off against the soldiers, first?)

  (Even if you waited at the side, the amount of data you could collect would be the same.)

  “Great Teacher Sun, please don’t be angry. This soldier will be given to your disciple to fight.”

  A middle-aged man, who had been exuding killing intent and forced seven people who wanted to snatch the soldier backward, was currently smiling and looked like a husky that was determined to please its owner.

  Chapter 769: At the Very End, Simps Would End Up with Nothing!

  Swish~

  After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the others who were currently snatching the soldiers were all stunned and looked over here dumbfoundedly.

  “Damn, Old Zha. I didn’t expect someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you would be so proficient in fawning. You must have practiced it in private before, right?”

  An old man spoke frankly with assurance.

  They had stayed three years in the fifth part of the canyon. Although they weren’t friends, they were familiar with each other. They would usually gather together and drink wine out of boredom as they discussed how to clear the sage.

  Although Old Zha looked like a middle-aged man, he was actually already 260 years old. But because he was an expert at the Longevity Realm, his appearance didn’t age.

  For experts of this level who had lived for centuries, they naturally wanted face, let alone before so many juniors.

  After hearing the old man’s words, Old Zha, who had very thin skin, immediately felt his face flushing red. He shouted, “This is what cultivators ought to do. What do you mean by fawning? This is called respect. Do you understand?

  “For an absolute genius like Great Teacher Sun, could it be that he isn’t qualified to have a soldier? Look at you guys randomly trying to snatch one. It isn’t that I’m looking down on you, but even if you snatch one, no…… even if you snatch 1,000, what’s the point? If you give Teacher Sun one of them, you might actually clear this stage.”

  The more Old Zha spoke, the more logical he sounded. The feeling of shame due to him bootlicking also weakened by quite a bit.

  Everyone was stunned. (It does seem to be like that Damn! Old Zha already made the first move!)

  Honestly speaking, things couldn’t be blamed on these people.

  Those who depended on their capabilities to enter this part of the canyon were all intelligent people with excellent comprehension or a powerful cultivation base. The weakest among them was at the eighth or ninth level of the Divine Force Realm. Although it couldn’t be said that they could do whatever they wanted to in the Nine Provinces, at the very least, when they tried to perform acts of justice, they wouldn’t be killed by the evildoer and they could become a hero.

  If they chose the path of evil, they would still be able to become a boss of the underworld. Hence, they basically had no experience in fawning others. This was why they couldn’t adapt to it for a short period.

  “Great Teacher Sun, please come here. I will give this to you.”

  “What do you mean by giving this to him? Do you know how to speak? Great Teacher Sun, this soldier is something I respectfully offer up to show my respect to you. I hope you can clear this stage quickly.”

  “Great Teacher Sun, come and catch this one. This one is very beautiful. Wait a minute, I’ve been in the Battlegod Canyon for over a year and I even found a summoned soldier beautiful just by looking at it?”

  “I have the same feeling. Damn it, would I fall in love with gigolos in the future?”

  Everyone was talking non-stop, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

  The cultivators who had just entered were more anxious, but these people had already stayed here for quite a long duration. Because they were clueless, they became much calmer as time went by.

  After all, haste makes waste.

  Upon seeing this scene, Bai Hao grew depressed.

  Although he was the second ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings and was very famous in the great teacher world, no one really cared about him as a whole. So, plenty of people dared to snatch soldiers from him, about seven or eight of them.

  At this moment, after seeing a major character at the Longevity Realm snatching soldiers to give to Sun Mo, while the others were trying to snatch a soldier from his hand, Bai Hao was immediately in a bad mood.

  “I feel that my status is so low!”

  Bai Hao’s lips pursed. After that, he tried to snatch even more ferociously.

  (No, I have to work hard for this stage and surpass Sun Mo to prove myself. ……

  “No need.”

  Sun Mo tactfully declined.

  “Teacher Sun, are you looking down on me, Old Zha?”

  Zha Liang counter-asked.

  “Nope.”

  Sun Mo shook his head. He mentally mused that he was only letting guinea pigs like them go first. In any case, there were still ‘checkpoints’ after that. Even if they got the soldiers first, it was fine.

  Hence, Sun Mo was not anxious at all.

  “In that case, don’t be polite with me. This can be considered a gift from me.”

  Zha Liang’s tone was sincere and he had a look on his face that said ‘if I were a woman, I would recommend myself to warm your bed.’

  “Alright then, many thanks.”

  Sun Mo clasped his fist and then instructed. “Xuanyuan, go on. Zhiruo, sword!”

  “Oh!”

  The papaya girl grabbed the sword sheath and tossed Evil Vanquisher to Sun Mo.

  The combat addict who had long since grown impatient from waiting immediately rushed over.

  “Great Teacher Sun, please forgive me for saying too much. These soldiers are very powerful. I’m afraid your disciple might be injured.”

  Zha Liang reminded him out of good will. Just after he finished speaking, he saw that muscular young man that was akin to a gigantic desolate beast rushing forward with his spear and clashing against that soldier.

  Ding! Ding! Ding!

  The spear tip pierced repeatedly toward the soldier’s armor, causing a myriad of sparks to manifest.

  “Good moves!”

  Old Zha couldn’t help but praise loudly.

  “Very sharp!”

  “This disciple of Great Teacher Sun is pretty good!”

  Everyone here was an expert. When they saw this, they immediately knew that this youth was proficient in combat and had definitely experienced life-and-death battles before.

  Naturally, the most beautiful things weren’t his moves. Rather, it was his fearless aura that had a hint of exquisite gorgeousness.

  Gradually, everyone stopped speaking and started to observe the combat.

  The soldier that ‘walked out’ from the murals did indeed possess powerful combat strength. It instantly suppressed Xuanyuan Po, and because the difference in strength was too great, even an ordinary attack by the soldier would cause heavy injuries to Xuanyuan Po if it hit.

  Hence, Xuanyuan Po was surrounded by perils.

  “Senior brother Xuanyuan’s brain isn’t very good, right?”

  Qin Yaoguang chewed on her candy and had a bewildered look on her face. In a combat where he would die if he was the slightest bit careless, he actually felt no fear and had a face filled with desire.

  “In combat-related subjects, he would become a mad man.”

  Tantai Yutang teased. But in his heart, he was extremely envious of Xuanyuan Po’s healthy body.

  “His courage is second to none.”

  The surrounding audience marveled. Even Old Zha and the others who were experts at the Longevity Realm still felt that they were inferior. At the very least, when they were at Xuanyuan Po’s age, they weren’t so daring.

  Helian Beifang watched with heat in his eyes and he involuntarily stared at Sun Mo.

  “Teacher?”

  “Go!”

  Sun Mo smiled and was very satisfied with Helian Beifang’s attitude. Although he was a youth from the barbaric tribe, he knew even more about etiquette when compared to Xuanyuan Po.

  With Helian Beifang added to the mix, the battle grew more chaotic. After all, he had never cooperated with Xuanyuan Po before. However, this actually caused the eyes of everyone to brighten.

  “Damn, this youth is also good.”

  “His usage of the curved blade isn’t bad.”

  “Look at his skin color and his weapon. This fellow is a barbarian, right?”

  Everyone whispered.

  There were also a few great teachers in the crowd. When they saw this scene, they immediately revealed envious expressions. These two students of Sun Mo had shocking talent in martial arts.

  Bai Hao, who was snatching soldiers at the side, also felt envy when he cast a glance over.

  The vast majority of the students could be rated outstanding or not with a glance, but there would always be special examples who had extraordinary talent.

  For example, Xuanyuan Po and Helian Beifang. They would emit a unique aura when they attacked.

  “Hmph!”

  Ying Baiwu was unconvinced and wanted to participate too. But when she wanted to say something, an intense pain suddenly spread from her chest area to her four limbs.

  (This damnable body. Why can’t it live up to expectations?)

  Ying Baiwu was very annoyed. Ever since she had entered the second level of the Darkness Continent, she had started to feel uncomfortable. She had also asked Li Ziqi about the spirit fantasy reactions before, but her symptoms were completely different.

  This was strange.

  She had wanted her teacher to check her situation, but she was also afraid. What if reality proved that her aptitude couldn’t make it? What should she do then?

  The iron-headed girl wanted to be the most outstanding student of Sun Mo. Hence, she wouldn’t permit herself to have even the slightest bit of weakness.

  “Oh no!”

  Xuanyuan Po pierced out with his spear, but he didn’t expect the strength of the soldier to be much greater than before. As a result, it caused him to misjudge and fail to block successfully.

  He subconsciously shifted his vital spots away and used his shoulder to receive the attack. But at this moment, a figure appeared beside him and a sword shadow flashed.

  Ding!

  The weapon of the soldier was knocked away.

  “Xuanyuan, how many times have I said it? Don’t simply depend on your instincts to fight. You have to learn how to think.”

  Sun Mo lectured, “Learn how to control your instincts instead of letting your instincts dominate you.”

  “As for Helian, very well done.”

  Sun Mo praised.

  The barbarian youth immediately revealed a bashful and happy smile.

  “Retreat for now. Watch more and think more!”

  Sun Mo instructed and he moved forward to welcome the attack from a soldier.

  When he activated Divine Sight to observe the soldiers, he realized that they were unknown targets and he had no way to obtain any information. However, from their strength, these soldiers should be at the fifth level of the Divine Force Realm.

  Xuanyuan Po panted heavily and retreated to the side. Although he had only fought for a minute, he was sweating profusely because the battle was too dangerous.

  Sun Mo used his Invulnerable Golden Body to defend, and he started a combo.

  West River Moon, Broad Cold Autumn, Late Fragrance.

  Pak, pak, pak!

  Evil Vanquisher either pierced or slash at the soldier’s body, creating sparks. However, no golden pages flew out of the soldier’s head.

  Sun Mo attacked again.

  The majority of people here immediately crowded around to watch. After all, ever since Sun Mo entered the canyon, everyone only knew about his intelligence that was so outstanding that it caused people’s scalp to feel numb. However, Sun Mo had never displayed his martial strength before.

  “As expected, he is terrifyingly strong!”

  “What cultivation art is that? It looks so gorgeous!”

  “Damn, the concept of that fist actually causes me to feel a sense of nirvana? I feel like going to become a monk.”

  Everyone discussed fervently and couldn’t turn their eyes away.

  Even those cultivators snatching the soldiers gave up and came to watch. After all, they could snatch soldiers any time, but it was very rare to see Sun Mo fight.

  “.……”

  Bai Hao saw his opponents leaving, and the soldier was about to fall into his hand. However, he felt very unhappy in his heart.

  (I don’t want this to be ‘given’ to me!)

  Sun Mo fought for a few more minutes. All of a sudden, a ‘bang’ sound rang out and the soldier exploded into countless red motes of light. They were like fireflies and swiftly vanished into the night in the canyon.

  “Eh? This thing actually vanishes?”

  Sun Mo felt surprised. He recalled his actions and was sure that it wasn’t him who killed the soldier.

  “Great Teacher Sun is correct. If these soldiers were critically injured, for example in their brains or their hearts, they would immediately vanish. Otherwise, they would automatically vanish a few minutes later.”

  Zha Liang instantly explained, “If you cut off their limbs or deal injuries to the other parts of their bodies, they wouldn’t vanish immediately. But they would vanish quicker than normally.”

  Sun Mo pondered. For him to comprehend this stage would surely take up plenty of time. After all, there was a limit to the number of soldiers here. If he wanted to clear the stage, he had to have enough samples for experimentation.

  Very soon, an hour passed. Everyone who was originally feeling lazy immediately stirred and stood up. They were like ferocious beasts that had entered hunting grounds. They were also feeling wariness toward the other opponents.

  “Teacher Sun, you don’t have to act. Let me snatch one for you!”

  Zha Liang flicked his sleeves and prepared to act.

  (Whoever dares to block my path of fawning over Great Teacher Sun has to die!)
