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..”
