Chapter 1310 Teacher And Disciple Reunited!
“Xuanyuan?” Sun Mo stared at the man at the back of the group. He should be Xuanyuan Po. His appearance hadn’t changed much, but in terms of disposition, the difference was too great.
The Xuanyuan Po of the past was a combat addict who couldn’t store anything other than fighting and cultivating in his head. He was impulsive and hot-tempered, not giving any consideration to the bigger picture. But now, he had become a lot calmer, having the flair of a great general.
He was riding a dark red warhorse that looked like it had the bloodline of a darkness beast, being considerably bigger than the horses others rode. However, it didn’t appear big with Xuanyuan Po riding it since he himself was too muscular. His two-zhang silver spear was well polished and it hung by the harness. “Teacher Xuanyuan!”
Girls on both sides waved their hands at Xuanyuan Po.
The combat addict was still bad at expressing himself. He wore a solemn expression like a stone statue, but this was fitting of his image.
Looking at Xuanyuan Po, Sun Mo thought of Lu Bu in the battle of Hulao Pa.s.s(1). Back then, Lu Bu had taken on the forces of various warlords single-handedly. Right now, Xuanyuan Po had the disposition of such a valiant general.
“I didn’t expect Xuanyuan to have become so reliable too!”
Sun Mo felt a little consoled to see one of the kids finally growing up. He didn’t call out to Xuanyuan Po but started to clap. The glory of this moment belonged to the combat addict.
However, Sun Mo had underestimated Xuanyuan Po’s sixth sense.
Xuanyuan Po, who was seated on the horseback and reflecting on the gains and losses of this exploration, subconsciously raised his head and looked toward the crowd.
“Why do I feel like I’ve heard Teacher’s claps?”
Xuanyuan Po p.r.i.c.ked his ears, his sharp gaze like that of an eagle sweeping across the crowd a few times. He then saw that figure he respected. “Teacher!”
Xuanyuan Po called out loudly and quickly got off the horse, das.h.i.+ng toward Sun Mo with big strides.
“What’s happening? Why is Teacher Xuanyuan so agitated?”
“Who is he calling Teacher?”
“Teacher Xuanyuan’s personal teacher seems to be from the Nine Provinces, right?”
The students didn’t understand.
The students who were standing in front of Sun Mo, blocking Xuanyuan Po’s way, quickly made way when they saw Xuanyuan Po charging over like a war chariot.
Therefore, Sun Mo was exposed.
“Teacher!”
Xuanyuan dashed up to Sun Mo and then dropped to his knees with a plop. After that, he gave Sun Mo nine solid kowtows.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Get up. You’re a teacher now. You need to maintain your disposition in front of your students, so there’s no need to care about such formalities!”
Sun Mo helped Xuanyuan Po up. “Teacher, why have you come to the Darkness Continent?”
Xuanyuan Po sized up Sun Mo secretly, feeling very agitated. He could learn from his teacher again!
Mmm, after not seeing him for so many years, his teacher looked more graceful and reliable now. Each of his actions showed off the air of an ancestor-level great teacher. “I came to look for you and Baiwu!” Sun Mo explained, “Let’s talk after you’re done with the important matters!”
Sun Mo gestured for Xuanyuan Po to quickly return to the team. Everyone else was still waiting for him.
The combat addict then turned and saw that the team had stopped. All of them were looking over.
There was no helping it. Xuanyuan Po was the leader of this group. With him acting this way, everyone else naturally stopped. “Alright!”
After Xuanyuan Po returned to the group, he started urging everyone to quickly enter the school so that he could get the handover done.
Half an hour later, Xuanyuan Po found Sun Mo again. “What happened to Junior Martial Sister Baiwu?”
Xuanyuan Po’s countenance was grim. After that, Sun Mo explained everything. “Huh? To think that she’s the Dawn Sovereign’s daughter?”. Xuanyuan Po was a little stunned. Weren’t their ident.i.ties too different?
He hadn’t forgotten what kind of life Ying Baiwu had led in the past. It was as fantastical as an emperor’s daughter living the life of a beggar.
“Sigh, it’s a long story!” Sun Mo sighed. “I’ll help too.”
Xuanyuan Po a.s.sured.
“You’ve started to have a sense of responsibility too!”
Sun Mo wanted to pat Xuanyuan Po’s shoulder but quickly stopped. It was because this lad’s height seemed to have exceeded two meters.
“Hehe!”
Xuanyuan Po scratched his head, feeling a little embarra.s.sed. “Men need to grow up one day!”
At the mention of this, Xuanyuan Po planned on kneeling to kowtow to Sun Mo.
However, Sun Mo was quick and stopped him. “Let’s just talk properly. You know me, I don’t care for such formalities!”
“When I was young, I was ignorant and gave Teacher a lot of trouble.”
Xuanyuan Po apologized.
In his years in the Constellation Academy, Xuanyuan Po had become increasingly mature. This was especially after he had become a teacher and started to have students. Only then did he understand how lucky he was to be able to meet Sun Mo.
Although his talent wasn’t bad, without Sun Mo’s great guidance, he wouldn’t have his current achievements.
The headmaster had said that it was his great fortune that he was able to spend the prime days of his life studying under Sun Mo, not taking the slightest bit of detour.
“I’m your teacher. These are things that I should do!”
Sun Mo let out a soft laugh.
“Teacher, what realm are you in now?” Xuanyuan Po engaged in a little small talk before the topic was uncontrollably brought to combat. His hands were feeling a little itchy.
“Ninth level of the Longevity Realm.”
Over the years, Sun Mo had gathered a lot of combat experience while traveling the Darkness Continent’s dangerous environment. Moreover, to protect his students, he had been putting great effort into his cultivation and thus had progressed very fast.

Xuanyuan Po was astonished.
He had never thought that they were on par. However, other than his high cultivation realm, Sun Mo also had great mastery in academics. “You’re close to ten years younger than me. Why are you so anxious?”
Sun Mo rolled his eyes.
“What’s your star-level now?”
Xuanyuan Po was curious.
“8-stars!”
Sun Mo didn’t hide it from him.
Xuanyuan Po suddenly didn’t feel like talking to Sun Mo anymore. He even wanted to use silver-chan to poke two big holes in Sun Mo.
(How are others going to live when you’re so amazing?)
As someone who had lived in the Central Province Academy for over ten years, Xuanyuan Po was very clear about what meaning the t.i.tle of an 8-stars great teacher held.
Many great teachers would have no regrets even if they died if they could stand as an 8-stars great teacher in the last moment of their life.
It was because advancing to a secondary saint was far too difficult.
8-stars great teachers were considered scholar-tyrants in the Nine Greats. They had tremendous influence.
The most terrifying thing was that his teacher wasn’t even 40 years old yet. This meant that his future potential was extremely great.
“Why don’t we talk about how you’ve been?”
Sun Mo suggested. “We’ll talk about that later. Teacher, shall we go and have a spar?”
Xuanyuan Po requested carefully.
“Alright!”
Sun Mo also wanted to check out the combat addict’s current level.
“Let’s go to the battle hall. That’s my territory!”
As the best fighter in the Constellation Academy, Xuanyuan Po naturally became the one to give guidance in the battle hall.
“Hurry up and head to the battle hall! Teacher Xuanyuan is going to have a spar with Teacher Sun!”
Sun Mo and Xuanyuan Po were both famous in this school. Therefore, they were noticed when they headed to the battle hall together. Very soon, this piece of news spread like wildfire in the school.
“Teacher, please!”
Xuanyuan Po had also learned to be polite, letting Sun Mo head up the arena first.
“En!”
Sun Mo flew up and landed on the arena.
“Teacher Xuanyuan, aren’t you bullying Teacher Sun Mo?”
A girl was displeased. Xuanyuan Po was known to be good at fighting since he had been so arrogant that he had challenged all the teachers in the school in the past. He also never rejected any student’s challenges.
“You like my teacher?” Xuanyuan Po was amused. “I’ll tell you, you don’t have a chance!”
“Teacher Xuanyuan is so annoying!”
The girl looked embarra.s.sed and pouted.
Everyone also felt that this was unfair. In their view, Sun Mo was so good in academics that he must have spent a great deal of time studying, which meant that he could not be compared with Xuanyuan Po.
“You guys are worrying for nothing. When my teacher was young, it was normal for him to kill enemies of higher cultivation levels. Now, he’s at the ninth level of the Longevity Realm, so he will definitely be able to win even if he is up against a Legendary Realm expert!”
After Xuanyuan Po said that, the place turned completely silent. There were only many stunned faces.
“Hmm?” Xuanyuan Po frowned. “It can’t be that you guys don’t believe me, right?” “Your boasting has gone overboard!”
The students whistled and teased.
This dark famous school was more open-minded and did not care about secular etiquette. After all, survival was the most important thing here.
“Haha, to be honest, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it either!”
Xuanyuan Po laughed and stopped talking nonsense. “Teacher, can we start?”
“En!”
Sun Mo nodded. Right away, the combat addict immediately pounced over impatiently. With a shake, his spear swung around. Torrential Rain Pearflower, Falling Star!
Wow!
The students cheered. No matter how many times they looked at it, their teacher’s spear technique was so gorgeous that it made them unable to hold their pee.
“Not bad!”
Sun Mo slashed out.
Swoos.h.!.+
The wooden blade swept past like a hurricane, like the rain hitting against bananas, sweeping away everything like paper. “Huh?”
The students gasped in surprise. To think that Teacher Sun was this amazing? He managed to cut off Teacher Xuanyuan Po’s saint-tier spear art?
Xuanyuan Po couldn’t have gone easy on him, could he?
As Sun Mo’s moves were overly simple and ordinary-looking, the students couldn’t tell if they were amazing.
“Haha, seeing how Teacher is full of vigor despite getting on in age, I can go all out now!”
Xuanyuan Po was worried that Sun Mo had just reached this cultivation realm and didn’t have enough experience. However, it seemed that he was worried for nothing. Therefore, he went all out.
“I’m not 40 yet!”
Sun Mo thought to himself, (I don’t even have a son yet, but you dare to say that I’m old? I’ll have to teach you a lesson!) Sun Mo performed a quick attack before Xuanyuan Po made a move.
Heavenly Sword Art, Shocking G.o.ds Slaying Immortals!
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Although Sun Mo used a wooden blade, sword qi permeated as if a thousand piles of snow were swept up. As a result, the students close to the arena couldn’t stand the pressure from his sword attacks and backed off. A large s.p.a.ce was cleared up in an instance.
Xuanyuan Po was still the same as before, fighting to the death without backing off.
The two of them attacked each other in an extravagant and wild manner, causing the onlookers to be infatuated with their attacks. After that, the cheers grew louder and louder.
Suddenly, Sun Mo switched from offense to defense.
Performing the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art and being immovable as a mountain, he steadily received all of Xuanyuan Po’s attacks.
“Is this your full strength?”
Sun Mo tried to provoke Xuanyuan Po.
“Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique, Heaven and Earth Furnace!”
Xuanyuan Po gathered his strength and struck out his ultimate technique.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Many fist-sized sparks appeared in the arena and the temperature rose rapidly. It made one feel as if they had been tossed into a smelting furnace.
“F*ck, Teacher Xuanyuan is going to use a big move. Run!”
Some of the senior students who had seen this technique before immediately shouted and ran out with frightened expressions. The teachers could not remain calm anymore either. Some people quickly urged the students to move out of the battle hall, while others started cursing.
“Xuanyuan, what are you doing? Hurry up and stop!” “Teacher Sun is the school’s treasure. If you hurt him, the headmaster will definitely make you suffer!”
“Teacher Sun, hurry up and dodge! Don’t take it head-on!”
Their voices had yet to fade when Xuanyuan Po’s ultimate technique was unleashed.
Boom!
In the air, two huge flaming cauldrons appeared above and below Sun Mo respectively. They wanted to lock Sun Mo in. Sun Mo could teleport and also have his clones take the damage. However, he saw that this unique skill was more powerful, so he wanted to try accepting it.
Paying Someone Back in Their Own Coin!
Swoos.h.!.+
As Sun Mo swung his blade, the smelting furnace’s flames looked like they were extinguished by a tsunami, disappearing out of sight. Then, a flaming furnace appeared next to Xuanyuan Po.
Everyone was stunned.
What kind of cultivation technique was Sun Mo using?
Wasn’t that too amazing?
After Xuanyuan Po negated this technique, his battle intent soared even higher, and he used his ultimate technique again.
Looking at this, the students quietened down and gathered back. They stopped running because they realized that Sun Mo was very stable.
Half an hour later, the match ended.
Everyone gave their applause for a very long time.
“To think that it’s a draw! Teacher Sun is really amazing!”
It was because other than being good at martial arts, Sun Mo also taught spirit runes and botany. Therefore, his overall strength was stronger than Xuanyuan Po’s.
“Which eye of yours saw that it was a draw? Teacher Sun was clearly giving a guidance battle!”
A teacher was speechless.
The entire match was under Sun Mo’s control, and he handled it with ease. Of course, this was also related to his cultivation arts.
He knew too many and they were all top-notch.
“Teacher, in your spare time, why don’t you come to the battle hall and give them some pointers?”
Xuanyuan Po pleaded.
After this battle, Sun Mo’s reputation soared again. No one had expected that Teacher Sun, who seemed to be a model teacher, would be so good at fighting
Before this, no one had thought of understanding Sun Mo’s ident.i.ty. After all, most of the great teachers who came to the Dark Continent were exiles who had committed crimes, so this was a taboo that no one wanted to mention lest it made everyone awkward.
However, Xuanyuan Po was known as the Constellation Academy’s spear G.o.d. After the news that he was Sun Mo’s personal disciple was exposed and they started to look for Ying Baiwu, everyone also learned of Sun Mo’s background.
This man who had yet to reach his forties turned out to be an 8-stars great teacher. This meant that he was an ancestor in two subjects and had 25 or more great teacher halos. Moreover, he was only one step away from becoming a secondary saint.
In conclusion, he was an amazing person. In the entire school, only five people were more amazing than him. “Will Teacher Sun leave this place after he found his disciple?”
“That’s for sure. He isn’t exiled. Moreover, he’s a top scholar-tyrant in the Nine Provinces. Why would he stay here to suffer?”
At the thought of this matter, the students’ mood plunged. However, they still called for their friends to help him search for Ying Baiwu.
Sun Mo’s cla.s.ses had a high attendance rate to begin with, but now, they were bursting with people. After all, an ancestor t.i.tle was the strongest signboard.
One evening a few days later, Xuanyuan Po came to look for Sun Mo to treat him to a meal.
“When did you learn such formalities?” Sun Mo teased, “Just say what you want to!”
“Teacher!”
Xuanyuan Po dropped to his knees. “I would like to ask you to help these Darkness Continent’s aboriginals!”
