  “Thanks for letting me win!”

  After Xianyu Wei finished the niceties, she jumped down the stage and jogged back to Sun Mo. She stared at him with expectation, like how a puppy was waiting for its owner to feed it.

  “Very excellent!”

  Sun Mo wanted to stretch out his hand to pat Xianyu Wei’s head, but he suddenly discovered that she was now very tall. The lucky mascot was better to pat instead.

  “Hehe!”

  Xianyu Wei grinned joyfully.

  “For the Dharma Skyshock Fist, you have comprehended its essence, so just continue training in it normally. Other than this, you should spend most of your time on the Undying Mystic Art!”

  Sun Mo guided.

  The plains girl had a pure personality. She was bubbly and adorable, with intense emotions. Her world only consisted of right and wrong, without a gray zone. Such a mentality was very compatible with the essence of this buddhist-style cultivation art.

  As the saying goes…once buddha is enraged, the skies shall tremble!

  No matter if you are right or wrong, happy or sad, I will simply shake the sky with a single punch and all worries will dissipate.

  The competition continued but those high star-ranking great teachers spectating the battles were not in a good mood.

  Pak!

  A 6-stars threw the notebook in his hand onto the ground. He then covered his chest with his arms and had a look of unhappiness on his face. “Is there still any meaning to this competition? It has become a performance display for Sun Mo’s disciples!”

  “There’s no solution to this, who asked his students to all be so impressive?”

  “The Nine Greats are definitely very sad. They originally thought that their students would be able to shine in the Hero Battle. But in the end, Sun Mo and his students from the Central Province Academy have stolen the limelight.”

  Some great teachers from other schools felt joy in the Nine Greats’ misfortune.

  ‘The stronger their students were, the better it would be to spread the school’s fame. There would surely be better students going to join them because of their fame.

  To a school, the student supply was their farm crop and also considered a type of benefit. But now, Sun Mo had taken away a large portion of it.

  Although many people were grumbling, they were still convinced in their hearts.

  What condition would a person need if he wanted to surpass others in a certain field?

  Outstanding talent, willingness to work hard, and the guidance of a good great teacher.

  “That plains girl seems to be born with divine strength. I truly envy Sun Mo’s dogshit luck!”

  A 6-stars great teacher was jealous.

  “Theard that this Xianyu Wei was abandoned by her original teacher. It was Sun Mo who accepted her!”

  Someone divulged.

  “Haha, that teacher probably feels so much regret now that he wants to commit suicide, right? The saying ‘having eyes but am blind’ is probably referring to people like him!”

  The 6-stars laughed mockingly.

  No one replied. After all, not everyone would have such good judgment like Sun Mo.

  “Let me put in a word of fairness. With regards to Sun Mo’s personal disciples, their talent and the education they received are all extremely high level. However, don’t forget about their own hard work. I’ve investigated and learned that Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu are both cultivation fanatics. They

  would always spend their days and nights in the darkness illusion dojo or soak themselves in medical baths.”

  An old man sighed ruefully.

  All the great teachers fell silent, having decided that when they returned, they would treat their disciples more strictly and request them to work even harder. (If your talent is weaker than others, but you are also not willing to work hard, how can you win? Based on luck?)

  ‘When another student using a five-feet silver spear went on the stage, Li Ziqi immediately asked, “Teacher, what do you think of this fellow?”

  “Very strong!”

  Sun Mo activated Divine Sight, but it showed the words ‘unknown target’.

  Sun Mo was already used to the system’s lack of support.

  “His name is Yuan Yuan, and no one has any idea where he came from. He’s ridiculously strong and has defeated five graduate students from the Skyraise Academy, Westshore Military School, and Jixia Learning Palace.”

  Tantai Yutang introduced. “He is the largest dark horse of this batch!”

  “Qi, if it wasn’t for the fact that our teacher’s fame is too great, Xuanyuan and Baiwu would also be dark horses!”

  Lu Zhiruo pouted.

  Only combatants who had completely no fame or had been looked down upon in the past could be termed as ‘dark horse’. As Sun Mo’s students were too famous, they were treated as the top-seeds.

  Helian Beifang swept a glance at the papaya girl. (What do you mean? Am I inferior to both of them? Watch how I crush my opponent during my next round!)

  Helian Beifang and Yuan Yuan were both in group C.

  “Teacher, do you think I should recruit him?”

  Li Ziqi had been a great teacher for quite a while. But up until now, she didn’t have a personal student yet. She was usually too busy and when she occasionally had time, she would guide the royal descendants or low-year students in the school.

  ‘There were people who coveted her identity as the Great Tang female emperor and wanted to take her as a teacher. However, she rejected all of them.

  With regards to accepting a disciple, Li Ziqi wanted her teacher to screen for her.

  “Currently, many great teachers are privately investigating his information, wanting to recruit him!”

  Qin Yaoguang felt very regretful. If it was in the past, she could casually ‘craft’ some information on Yuan Yuan and would be able to sell it for a great deal of money. However, she couldn’t do such a thing now. If not, if she was caught, she would definitely lose face for her teacher.

  “How can a student like him not have a teacher?”

  Sun Mo shook his head. “Back before Xuanyuan met me, he was an amateur. As for this Yuan Yuan, he has clearly matured. His foundation is fixed and the probability of trying to change him isn’t high.”

  This fellow was either from an aristocratic clan with a deep and profound foundation, or he was a student nurtured and guided by the Dark Dawn.

  “It’s impossible for a person that can grow to such a strong level to be nameless!”

  Sun Mo explained. “His body constitution is roughly the same as Xuanyuan. Do you recall when Xuanyuan first appeared in our school in the past? Do you guys remember how many teachers wanted to recruit him?”

  “Does this brat have a problem with his background?”

  Helian Beifang’s eyes narrowed.

  As the first round of the competition ended, Sun Mo could confirm five combatants that belonged to the first tier.

  Xuanyuan Po, the dark horse Yuan Yuan, Zou Long who was a graduate from Skyraise Academy, Zeng Sheng, and Zhan Fan from the Westshore Military Academy. These five were so strong to the point that even great teachers with the lousiest judgment would recognize their talent.

  As for the second-tier combatants, there were plenty of them, roughly over ten, However, Ying Baiwu should be ranked top among them.

  To put it unpleasantly, if the iron-headed girl used the Skyward Spirit Rune, there would be no need to fight in this competition anymore. She could directly grab the championship cup and walk away.

  Ying Baiwu was not only strong in archery, but her close-combat skills were also impressive enough to make others feel despair. Many people felt that as long as they got near her, they would be able to stop her as she wouldn’t be able to fire arrows. In the end, they were beaten up so badly by Ying Baiwu

  that their heads were swollen like pig heads.

  These people didn’t think further. Ying Baiwu practiced archery because her talent in it was good, but this didn’t mean that she was weak in other areas.

  Even if her talent was weak, after Ying Baiwu had learned so many peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts from Sun Mo, she had long since become a ‘monster’.

  Strictly speaking, if the platform was sufficiently large, Ying Baiwu would have a higher probability of winning.

  In the second round, Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu both won with no suspense. As for Helian Beifang, he encountered Yuan Yuan, and the two of them fought so intensely that it felt like Mars had slammed into Earth.

  Helian Beifang desired to crush this dark horse. So, once the fight started, he immediately seized the initiative to attack with his swift blade. However, he was shocked that he didn’t manage to suppress his opponent. Hence, he decisively chose to turn offense into defense.

  Yuan Yuan’s silver spear was like the horn of an ancient monster, brimming with the aura of death as it continuously pierced forward.

  Cheers rang out through the entire place.

  ‘The audience was mesmerized by the fight, while the great teachers fell silent.

  Why would Helian Beifang, a guy from the plains, be so strong?

  In this era, Sun Mo was a legendary character, someone that was heavily observed. Hence, the information on his disciples had spread around the great teacher world.

  Helian Beifang loved to dabble in military stuff. He would usually stay in the library, and when he had some spare time, he liked to play simulated wars with other people.

  Cultivation?

  He only practiced normally!

  But from the looks of things now, Helian Beifang’s ‘normal practice’ was enough for him to tangle with the strongest dark horse.

  “Barbarian, you have successfully roused my killing intent!”

  Yuan Yuan stared at Helian Beifang, a malevolent smile on his face. “Tell me, how do you wish to die?”

  ‘The Hero Battle wasn’t a life-and-death fight, but it was inevitable for injuries to happen. As long as one didn’t intentionally want to kill someone, the combatants wouldn’t be responsible if someone really died in a fight.

  “Do you think I, your boss Helian, will be scared of you?”

  Helian Beifang’s lips twitched.

  After that, Yuan Yuan’s body shook and two clones appeared. It was now three against one, three of Yuan Yuan surrounding one Helian Beifang.

  Storm Gale!

  Chi! Chi! Chi!

  The spears pierced forth, filling the sky with spear shadows. They looked like a silkworm cocoon that engulfed Helian Beifang.

  “Ah!”

  Lu Zhiruo screamed in fright and hurriedly hugged Sun Mo’s arm. This attack was so terrifying.

  All of a sudden, a silver light shone. This was Helian Beifang’s swift blade that cut apart the ‘spear shadow cocoon’. He didn’t retaliate. Instead, he continuously retreated until he reached the edge of the platform.

  Hu! Hu!

  Helian Beifang panted heavily and had a serious look on his face as he sank into conflict.

  He was the most proficient in the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. If he used that, he might be able to win. However, this cultivation art was the ultimate divine art of the Dragon Subduing Academy. It would surely bring great trouble to his teacher if he used it now.

  “You are the first opponent that can receive my ultimate Storm Gale attack. However, you will definitely die if I use my next move.”

  Yuan Yuan wasn’t in a hurry. Since he met a good opponent, he wanted to slowly kill them.

  Helian Beifang glanced at Sun Mo; his intention was clear without words. (What should I do?)

  Sun Mo laughed. “Don’t think too much. If you want to win, just use it. As for any future troubles that may arise, I will settle them!”

  The Nine Greats, wealthy clans, aristocratic families—all of them only had a single resolution method with regard to people who stole their cultivation arts. That was to kill the thief. They would spare no expense to do that.

  In the past, he wouldn’t dare to use it even if he didn’t steal but had comprehended the cultivation art himself. This was because the Dragon Subduing Academy wouldn’t bother to listen to his explanation. They would directly use violence to resolve this.

  But now, Sun Mo’s status and strength were something the Dragon Subduing Academy wouldn’t dare to treat recklessly.

  (Moreover, I’m hugging the thighs of a saint and two secondary saints!)

  Sun Mo was very calm.

  He wanted to cover his chest with folded arms and lean backward to adopt an arrogant posture.

  “Mn!”

  Helian Beifang nodded and charged toward Yuan Yuan again. When he got near, he suddenly opened his mouth and howled.

  Roar!

  It was like the roar of an ancient ferocious beast that emitted a spiritual suppression, causing Yuan Yuan to be dazed for a short period. Yuan Yuan’s entire body stiffened and he couldn’t move.

  “Eat my blade!”

  Helian Beifang slashed out.

  Thunderfall!

  The swift blade arced like lightning as it slashed down.

  BOOM!

  “What?”

  No one could have expected that Helian Beifang would erupt forth with such ferocious might. However, some great teachers who had seen the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture before had shock on their faces.

  Why did this cultivation art look so familiar?

  “We won!”

  Xianyu Wei excitedly waved her fist.

  Her senior martial brother Helian’’s attack speed was fast enough to block her senior martial sister Ying Baiwu’s arrows, let alone the fact that his opponent couldn’t move. She knew that his victory was guaranteed.

  Just when the other students heaved a sigh of relief and were preparing to applaud and congratulate Helian Beifang, an unexpected incident occurred.

  Yuan Yuan couldn’t move, but the silver spear in his hand somehow bizarrely shot out like a venomous snake, precisely slamming into Helian Beifang’s blade.

  Ding!

  Aclear sound echoed out.

  “Min?”

  Helian Beifang narrowed his eyes and slashed out once again in passing.

  Swish~

  His swift blade slashed toward Yuan Yuan’s neck.

  Ci~

  Fresh blood splattered. Yuan Yuan had lifted his hand to block this attack. However, he had to suffer a cut to the flesh on his arm.

  Swish! Swish! Swish!

  Helian Beifang did a backward somersault to lengthen the distance.

  Yuan Yuan stared at Helian Beifang and lifted his arm, licking his wound. His gaze turned even more malevolent. “Very good, you are the first person to injure me. I’ve decided to torture you slowly.”

  “Judge, he’s so fierce. Are you not going to step in?”

  Helian Beifang raised his hand and waved to the judge.

  “If he takes some over-the-top actions, we will stop him.”

  The judge replied.

  Verbal words were just a form of psychological warfare. This was a permitted battle strategy.

  “Alright then, I’ll forfeit!”

  Helian Beifang shrugged and jumped down the stage.

  “Min?”

  Yuan Yuan was stunned. He was preparing to store up his strength and unleash it all. Now, it was like his punch had hit the empty air. It was super unbearable.

  “Scram back for me!”

  Yuan Yuan roared loudly. (Wanting to run after gaining an advantage? No way!)

  Helian Beifang scratched his ears and had a frivolous expression, but he immediately retracted his expression when he returned to Sun Mo’s side. After that, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

  “Teacher, I’m sorry for losing face for you!”

  “It’s fine. Knowing when to stop is a type of growth too!”

  Sun Mo consoled him.

  “Trash!”

  Xuanyuan Po spoke in contempt.

  “You should be more careful. That fellow is very powerful!”

  Helian Beifang reminded him. “When I fought him, I felt as though there were many pairs of eyes staring at me, like a cub being stared at by a predator. It was very uncomfortable!”

  Swish~

  Everyone turned to Sun Mo, awaiting an answer.

  “Helian has forced out his opponent’s trump card, but I won’t tell you guys anything about that yet. Xuanyuan, go and experience it for yourself!”

  Sun Mo wanted the combat addict to temper himself and grow through combat.

  ‘When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately rolled their eyes.

  Was this not whetting their appetites?

  But this fellow was truly arrogant!

  For the other participants, in order to advance higher, they would want nothing more than to dig out all the information of their opponents. However, Sun Mo actually knew about it but refused to say anything.

  Could this be confidence?

  Qin Yaoguang moved to Sun Mo’s side and pressed her index finger to her lips before whispering. “Teacher, why don’t you tell me secretly? I guarantee I won’t tell anyone else.”

  Sun Mo naturally wouldn’t speak of it.

  At this moment, the audience below the platform also regained their senses and started booing.

  They were anticipating a huge battle, but in the end, Helian Beifang had conceded before the climax. How outrageous.

  “Teacher!”

  Helian Beifang’s countenance was somewhat unsightly.

  “Ignore these gazes. When living in the world, how many criticisms from others would you hear? If you place them all in your heart, the weight of their nonsense would crush you to death sooner or later.”

  Sun Mo consoled him. “You just have to care about your own path. Success is the best reply to those who doubt you.”

  Bzz~

  Priceless Advice activated.

  Golden light illuminated the surroundings, and its glow spread through the entire place.

  ‘At this moment, everyone was moved.

  “That is Great Teacher Sun, right? As expected, he has the face of a gigolo.”

  “Isn’t the range of his halo a little too large?”

  “IL really want to listen to a lecture conducted by Great Teacher Sun!”

  ‘The audience broke out into discussion. With no exception, everyone revealed looks of envy.

  Right now, the status of Sun Mo’s personal disciples was so lofty and valuable that they were priceless!

  Chapter 1264: Sun Mo’s Students, Famous Throughout The World

  Translator: Lordbluefire

  There was this saying, ‘Those who fail to inspire jealousy in others are mediocre individuals.’

  Sun Mo’s fame in the great teacher world could be considered half good and half bad. Among the younger generations, the vast majority of people worshiped him and took him as their role model, wanting to surpass him.

  But in the eyes of aged seniors, Sun Mo was like a great villain, a person who only wanted to be in the limelight, spoiling the market norm and making it tough for their disciples to stand out.

  (Do you understand what staying aloof from the world means?)

  (Do you know what it means to constantly show respect to your elders?)

  Bluntly speaking, those seniors loathed Sun Mo because he was superior to them. Hence, they envied him.

  It was like an old staff who had worked for 20 years and earned $3,000 per month. His life was ordinary, but all of a sudden, the company suddenly hired a new staff member.

  The new staff didn’t only have high skills that ‘crushed’ the old staff, but he was also earning $30,000 per month. Moreover, the beautiful female colleagues who usually ignored the old staff could be seen prancing around the new staff, chatting with him with interest.

  Who could endure this?

  So, when they saw Helian Beifang being eliminated, many people started cheering.

  “It can be considered as finally taking down one of his chances to rise in fame!”

  A 6-stars great teacher felt very comfortable.

  “Yeah, if we allow this brat’s disciples to squeeze their way into the top ten, how can we still be great teachers? We should simply commit suicide!”

  Everyone agreed. They felt that today was a good day with gentle winds and bright sunlight.

  “Wait a minute, I remember that this brat has comprehended the self-taught halo and is considered an intern teacher. It isn’t important even if he cannot fight well!”

  An old man suddenly interjected.

  Swish~

  The people around quietened down, and a bunch of old fellows had unsightly countenances as though they had just eaten a mouthful of dog shit. All of them were feeling extremely unbearable.

  (Why do you have to tell us the cruel truth?)

  (Can’t you allow us to be happy for a while?)

  The competition continued. Many people wanted to watch Sun Mo’s students be eliminated, but they were destined to be disappointed.

  Xuanyuan Po continued to win his battles. Under his silver spear, no enemies could stand up to him.

  When comparing one’s figure, no one could beat him. The combat addict’s sculpted body was a perfect amalgamation of strength, speed, and endurance.

  Speaking of technique, the combat addict had done much hard work and had accumulated vast amounts of practical combat experience. Moreover, he was also using the highest-tier martial skills. He basically had no flaws.

  In the end, it only depended on the all-out effort of both parties.

  A top graduate student from the Westshore Military Academy tried a mutual-perishing attacking method. However, Xuanyuan Po was even crazier than him, showing complete disregard for his own life. This instantly caused that student to be so frightened that he gave up halfway.

  From this, everyone could tell that he was a martial fanatic. Other than combat, he didn’t care about anything else. As of now, those who could possibly stop him were only Zeng Sheng, Yuan Yuan, Zhan Fan, and Zou Long.

  Because of the competition arrangement, if Sun Mo’s students wanted to fight each other, they had to last all the way until the finals.

  Ying Baiwu won her fights even more relaxedly because her peerless saint-tier archery included solo targets and group attacks. In addition to her peak-level movement arts, 80% to 90% of her opponents couldn’t get close to her and could only wait to be shot.

  Even if they got close, the iron-headed girl’s skill in close-distance fights was also very strong.

  This was under the prerequisite that she didn’t use the spirit rune handgun. Otherwise, Ying Baiwu would directly pull her gun out and fire three shots at any close-distance enemies, blasting their heads into pieces.

  Ying Baiwu’s battle method was gorgeous, beautiful, and awesome to look at. It would naturally cause many young people to fall in love with archery. Hence, the demand for bows in the weapon stores rose rapidly, allowing the store owners to earn huge profits.

  However, Jiang Leng surprised everyone the most.

  Everyone also felt that the youth with the word ‘crippled’ on his forehead was a little weaker, but when he defeated the graduate student from the Dragon Subduing Academy, everyone suddenly discovered that they had misjudged.

  The Dragonspirit Manor had chosen all youths with the best aptitude from various places in the Nine Provinces to undergo spirit rune experiments. Ultimately, after Jiang Leng’s batch was eliminated, he was the only one remaining. Just from this, one could tell how terrifying his achievement was!

  ‘When Li Zigi had chatted with Jiang Leng, she had asked about his experiences.

  Those cruel sparrings… even if you did your best, you would still be eliminated if you were ranked last. It was because Bai Wenzhang didn’t need trash.

  Be it constitution or talent, Jiang Leng wasn’t inferior to geniuses like Zou Long. In fact, his combat experience even surpassed them. But why did Sun Mo send him to the second tier?

  This was because the experiments had damaged his body and injured his origin essence.

  If it wasn’t for Sun Mo, Jiang Leng would have long since died.

  But now, he was standing atop the stage and displaying his brilliance.

  “Tm fighting for my teacher!”

  Jiang Leng was extremely ruthless because he wanted to get the championship and give it to his teacher.

  Compared to the other three martial siblings, a higher percentage behind Xianyu Wei’s victories was due to luck.

  After so many rounds of competition, even if the candidates all had steel bodies, they would still be injured and the amount of fatigue they felt would accumulate.

  This would surely cause their combat strength to dip a portion.

  Sun Mo’s disciples had no such problems

  The spring water beauty medicine packet, giant medicine packet, and lover protection potion—in addition to the most important ancient massaging technique—allowed them to maintain 95% of their optimal states.

  Therefore, they had an edge over the other competitors.

  Naturally, the plains girl was very strong as well.

  She was born with divine strength and her aptitude was off-the-charts. It was just that her comprehension abilities were slightly weaker. However, this was only in comparison to geniuses like Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu. If the plains girl was compared to elite students, she would be ranked at the very

  top.

  Her greatest problem was that the standard of her first personal teacher was too low, and this had wasted quite a few years of her time. During the most important time of her youth, she didn’t manage to establish a sturdy foundation.

  Although Sun Mo had guided her meticulously after that, Sun Mo had had to go to the Prison of Desolation for over four years. During that time, Xianyu Wei might be under the guidance and nurturing of An Xinhui and Li Ziqi, but the effect wasn’t as good as Sun Mo’s guidance.

  During the third round, Xuanyuan Po and the other three managed to win their fights and successfully entered the top 8.

  ‘The Hero Battle was an event coordinated by the Nine Greats, so it was a grand competition the entire world knew about. This result caused Sun Mo’s name to be directly known throughout the world.

  In history, there had never been a great teacher who had four disciples entering the top 8 together.

  ‘The next morning, Xianyu Wei pushed the door open and was preparing to head to the Cai Clan Alley to purchase meat buns. In the end, she was scared silly by the extremely long queue right outside their residence.

  Bang!

  The plains girl closed the door.

  “The door is finally opened!”

  “Don’t rush, everyone, line up properly!”

  “Quiet, can you guys bear the crime of disturbing Great Teacher Sun’s rest?”

  Everyone mumbled but they soon fell quiet as they were worried they would be chased away by Sun Mo.

  Lu Zhiruo leaned against the wall and glanced over. “What are these people here for?”

  Very soon, the papaya girl knew why.

  More than half of these people came here to get Sun Mo to take their kids on as his students, and the remaining ones didn’t have kids yet but wanted to invite Sun Mo for banquets, taking the chance to build a social connection.

  Sun Mo wasn’t fond of entertaining others. Hence, he got the servants to drive them away using the excuse that he was currently guiding his students.

  However, there were invitations from some major characters that he had no way to reject.

  ‘When one was in society, face was paramount. If he didn’t give them face today, they might cast a stone at him when he was down tomorrow.

  After entering the top 8, the combatants could rest for two days after every fight. This could be considered better than nothing.

  The fourth round of the competition began. The first fight was between Xianyu Wei and Yuan Yuan.

  Three minutes later, Sun Mo who was spectating the battle suddenly spoke.

  “Xianyu, just concede!”

  It was no longer possible to win.

  Yuan Yuan’s attacking prowess was too terrifying. Hence, Xianyu Wei could only defend and basically couldn’t retaliate at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that her buddhist-style fist art had top-tier defense, she would have been defeated.

  The plains girl gritted her teeth; she didn’t want to concede.

  (For teacher’s sake, I have to get into the top five at the very least.)

  “Just concede. I will win your share back when I fight!”

  Jiang Leng persuaded her.

  “Judge, we forfeit!”

  Sun Mo directly made the decision for Xianyu Wei.

  For the next few rounds, Jiang Leng won against Zou Long, but Ying Baiwu lost to Zeng Sheng.

  Zeng Sheng was a spiritual controller and could summon seven spiritual beasts at once. After Ying Baiwu shot five of them dead, he finally defeated the iron-headed girl who had exhausted almost all her spiritual qi.

  This battle lasted for 15 minutes.

  ‘When the fight ended, thunderous applause rang out among the crowd.

  This was because Zeng Sheng had managed to hold out for a long time so everyone could witness the beautiful archery skills of Ying Baiwu. In other words, this was basically a performance display of her archery skills.

  Everyone was fully intoxicated and actually regarded Ying Baiwu who had lost even higher.

  “wait!”

  Seeing Ying Baiwu heading down the platform, Zeng Sheng called out to her and asked her a question with an unsightly look on his face. “Why were you not flying? Are you looking down on me?”

  “IE I flew, could you still win?”

  Bai Yingwu counter-asked.

  “If we didn’t try, how would you know I couldn’t win?”

  Zeng Sheng was unconvinced.

  Ying Baiwu couldn’t be bothered to answer such a boring question.

  “Damn!”

  Zeng Sheng cursed. Actually, he knew he couldn’t win. The other party just had to fly in the air and unleash a mad barrage of arrows, while he could only stand there and get hit.

  (Ihave to get a flying spiritual beast no matter what.)

  Sigh~

  This could all be blamed on the Skyward Spirit Rune Sun Mo invented. In the future, it would probably be a norm to encounter opponents that could fly.

  ‘The last round today was Xuanyuan Po against Zhan Fan. They fought the most fascinating battle ever since the start of this competition.

  Zhan Fan, who was from the Westshore Military School, brimmed with an air of discipline. He exuded a heroic aura with a steel blade in hand.

  Succeed or die trying!

  Zhan Fan embraced the thought of dying and was resolutely fighting against the combat addict.

  What championship? What ranking? What tempering oneself? He didn’t care about all these. He only wanted victory.

  Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

  Zhao Fan’s blade weaved about in a dance, resembling a heavy windstorm that blasted toward Xuanyuan Po. Each swipe of his blade generated an additional tornado.

  These tornadoes would even generate wind blades. They pierced toward the combat addict with no dead angles.

  “Too terrifying!”

  Lu Zhiruo’s little face turned pale. If she was the one on the stage, she would have long since become minced meat.

  “Zhan Fan cultivated the Gale Battle Art, a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. It emphasized speedy attacks like torrential storms and furious ocean waves. In the end, the human and blade will become one and transform into a blade rainbow to tear apart his enemy. This is peak-level blade art.”

  Sun Mo praised loudly. “Also, he has reached minor completion in his cultivation art and managed to touch the door of ‘dao’.”

  “However, he is still going to lose.”

  Li Ziqi interjected.

  “Why?”

  After Xianyu Wei finished asking, she hurriedly explained, “I’m not speaking up for him. I just want to know the reason……”
