Chapter 539: Great Teacher Report, Li Ruolan!
Sun Mo’s appearance was handsome to begin with. With the reinforcement from Model Teacher, he instantly became the center of attention in the entire lecture theater.
It was alright for the guys, but the ladies were unable to avert their gazes.
This was human nature. Even small animals who looked handsome or beautiful, with great outer appearances, would get special treatment, let alone humans.
People with great looks would always be able to get more opportunities.
The other four main examiners looked at Sun Mo with some envy in their gazes. As he was handsome and had some talent, he could become a celebrity teacher.
Sun Mo had long since gotten immune to such gazes. He then consecutively performed Complete Focus, Encyclopedic Knowledge, Misleading Students, Ignorant and Incompetent, and Profound Words.
The rarity of the halos he performed wasn’t comparable to Han Xi, but no one dared to look down on Sun Mo.
“Teacher Sun, do you know any other halos?”
A female examiner asked out of curiosity.
“Yes!”
Sun Mo didn’t deny it.
“What are they?”
Another female examiner interjected.
“This isn’t the content of the test, right?”
Sun Mo asked.
“Uhh!”
Everyone felt a little uncomfortable from this retort.
“Is this Sun Mo a fool?”
The examinees a.s.sessed Sun Mo. If the examiners were to ask you a question, it was a sign of their admiration for you.
From Sun Mo’s reaction, he clearly didn’t wish to put in this effort.
“I should be considered to have pa.s.sed, right? If so, I’ll be leaving then!”
Sun Mo wasn’t interested in being in the limelight.
“That’ll do!”
Tong Yiming nodded, feeling that the calm manner of Sun Mo was the way a great teacher should conduct themselves.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Tong Yiming +50. Friendly (410/1,000).
...
After leaving the teaching building, Sun Mo could see a lot of examinees. He heard some people cursing and saying that the Saint Gate’s examination was too entrapping.
Many examinees didn’t pay attention to the content of the 1-star great teacher examination. It was like university students who were planning to take the test for postgraduate studies. They’d just know about the time for the mid-year examination. Who would care about the content of the examination?
Moreover, even after finding out about the content for the first round of the 1-star great teacher examination, some great teachers would still feel hesitant and upset.
What if the Saint Gate didn’t repeat their stunt?
Everything still boiled down to one’s capabilities. If they felt that they could fight for it, they wouldn’t be put in a struggle. Those who were in a struggle were all trash.
What the Saint Gate wanted to do was to keep the examinees who had a tough and firm mind.
To speak the truth, Sun Mo felt that this tactic could be used in turns. Those who gave up on the examination in a certain year could be forbidden from taking it again for two years, then those who didn’t give up on the examination but had failed could be barred for two years. After a few times, the people who would still dare to partic.i.p.ate would definitely be the elites.
...
Sun Mo didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he took this time to walk around and take a look at the Westmountain Academy. He wanted to see if there were any areas that the Central Province Academy could learn from.
When he walked to the lake, he saw a student sitting there. The student was mumbling away as he kept on plucking flowers from the flowerbed one by one and then tossing them away.
A thick layer of petal carpet was already acc.u.mulated under his feet.
Sun Mo frowned and walked over. “Student, please show more love to flowers and plants.”
“Huh?”
The guy was stunned but quickly stood up, apologizing while looking awkward and unsettled. “I’m sorry, I was wrong. I didn’t do this intentionally.”
“Regardless, the flowerbeds here have been turned bare by you.”
Was saying that it was an unintentional deed sufficient to cover up one’s mistake? Look at this patch of flowerbed. It was like a case of alopecia areata, looking horrible.
“I... I...”
The guy was anxious. “I’ll compensate for it!”
“It’s fine as long as you’ve realized your mistake!”
Sun Mo waved his hand and was about to leave when he couldn’t help but activate Divine Sight to observe the student.
He must be troubled by love to be counting flower petals here, right?
Sun Mo guessed, but a row of big red words suddenly popped up in front of him.
‘Warning, this guy harbors abnormal feelings toward his teacher. Please correct him in time.’
“What?”
Sun Mo subconsciously stopped in his footsteps. “System, what do you mean by this?”
“Were your language lessons taught to you by a physical education teacher? You don’t even understand such hidden meanings?”
The system questioned.
“...”
Sun Mo cursed outright and even put up one finger before saying, “Does he show signs of a teacher-student love relations.h.i.+p?”
“That’s right, but things haven’t developed to that stage yet.”
The system replied.
Sun Mo’s countenance turned grim. Such feelings should be wiped out in its cradle. Otherwise, it’d lead to a great mistake in the future. Therefore, Sun Mo turned back.
Hua Jianmu, a 16-year-old spirit-refinement student. He has opened 68 acupoints and is currently at a bottleneck.
Strength 16. General standard. Just enough for use.
Intellect 15. You won’t lose out but won’t get much of an advantage. But most of the time, you’re just thinking about your teacher.
Agility 19. You have a pair of quick legs, but you’re always following behind your teacher.
Will 20. For Teacher, I’m willing to fight to the death!
Endurance 18. Cultivate, cultivate, cultivate. Fight for Teacher!
...
High potential value.
Note: As he has over-cultivated over the years, his body is in a depleted state. If this continues, it’d cause irreversible damages.
Note: Too infatuated with his teacher.
Hua Jianmu was a good student. He did feel reproach when he looked at the pile of petals on the floor. He was thinking about borrowing a broom to clean things up when he noticed that a young man was staring at him. He felt as if even his soul was going to be seen through by him.
“What are you doing?”
Hua Jianmu took a step back and grabbed onto his collar with his right hand.
“I feel that your apt.i.tude isn’t bad.”
Sun Mo replied casually.
This was a guy with tall stature, but his appearance was ordinary. Moreover, in order to save time spent on cleaning up, he kept his hair short and sharp looking.
He didn’t have a burly built, but he was lean with distinct muscles, like Bruce Lee. He looked like a young man filled with power.
However, in Sun Mo’s eyes, there was a great hidden danger in this body.
Hua Jianmu was stunned. (We have just met, right? How could you tell that my apt.i.tude isn’t bad?) However, he still refused outright, “I’m sorry, I already have a teacher.”
“Hehe!”
Sun Mo smiled in self-mockery. Ever since the student recruitment meet last year, he hadn’t been refused by a student. “Do you know that there’s a problem with your body?”
Hua Jianmu was silent and he stared at Sun Mo doubtfully, not knowing what Sun Mo was trying to say.
“Should I help you take a look?”
Sun Mo suggested.
Swoos.h.!.+
Hua Jianmu backed off two steps, his doubtful expression looking more intense. Although this young man was a teacher and shouldn’t do anything overboard to him, the battles between students were coming up and his results would affect whether his teacher would be able to pa.s.s. Therefore, he didn’t dare to take reckless actions.
“I am Sun Mo!”
Sun Mo shrugged. He then realized that the other party was unmoved.
“Uhh!”
Sun Mo suddenly felt very awkward. He felt that his reputation should be worth a bit of money, but he didn’t expect to be ignored the first time he mentioned it.
Hua Jianmu only spent his days cultivating and cultivating. He had no time to pay attention to gossip and thus knew nothing about Sun Mo.
However, when a beautiful lady in her twenties was pa.s.sing by and heard the name ‘Sun Mo’, her ears twitched.
“I didn’t hear wrongly, right?”
Li Ruolan mumbled and then turned to look around. She noticed Sun Mo and her eyes immediately lit up. After that, she crouched down and darted over agilely like a wild cat, hiding behind the flowerbeds.
“There’s really a problem with your body. I can help you to check it out.”
Hearing Sun Mo’s words, Li Ruolan’s red lips opened wide. (Turns out that One-Dog ‘Sun’ is a good person.)
“No need!”
Hua Jianmu rejected and turned to leave.
“Your left chest and right rib would hurt occasionally. Your legs would have intermittent piercing pain when you’re circulating spirit qi.”
Sun Mo spoke up.
Hua Jianmu’s countenance changed and he stopped in his footsteps. He a.s.sessed Sun Mo with a grim expression.
Li Ruolan, who was squatting behind the flowerbeds, took out an image-recording stone and aimed it at the two of them. She was a reporter and had seen too many people and things. Judging from Hua Jianmu’s expression, she knew that Sun Mo had gotten it right.
“G.o.d Hands is really amazing!”
Li Ruolan exclaimed and felt excited at the same time. She had long since wanted to interview Sun Mo but hadn’t gotten the chance to do so. She didn’t expect that their first meeting would be under such a situation.
Any organization would have their publicity setup. The Saint Gate’s most popular one was [Great Teacher Report] and its release could reach over 30,000 copies per month. Those with Li Ruolan’s articles would easily break through to 50,000 copies.
Li Ruolan’s style of writing was multivariate, sometimes sharp and harsh, with strong criticisms that could destroy a great teacher’s reputation for life.
Other times, it could be playful and humorous, sounding so cute like a Siamese cat that was playing with a ball of wool, making one feel the urge to rub its head and get close.
Li Ruolan wasn’t just the top writer of [Great Teacher Report] but was also the celebrity endorser for it.
Being the celebrity endorser meant that she was the spokesperson of the Great Teacher Report. Many young and old male teachers alike would dream about her, looking at her portraits on the Great Teacher Report and m*sturbate on lonely nights.
“Come over here. I’ll help you to check it out.”
Sun Mo put out his hand. This time around, he was going to be more reserved. He couldn’t possibly rush over to give someone treatment, could he?
Hua Jianmu hesitated. If it was any other time, he’d definitely walk away. But this time around, Sun Mo was spot on about his problems. The scariest thing was that Sun Mo hadn’t even touched him and had only taken a few looks. What did this mean? It could only be that Sun Mo was very experienced and had exceptional judgment.
“I don’t think I’ll lose out if I let him take a look, right?”
Hua Jianmu took two steps forward. However, at the thought of his teacher, he stopped again, asking, “You should also be a teacher taking the examination. That means you’re my teacher’s compet.i.tor. Why are you helping me?”
“You’re a student and I’m a teacher. Is there another reason for me to help you?”
Sun Mo asked.
“Uhh!”
Hua Jianmu was rendered speechless.
(Although this is true, aren’t you being too selfless? What if I were to defeat your personal disciple after you cured me? Wouldn’t you be finding trouble for yourself?)
“Well said!”
Li Ruolan praised. This was the broadmindedness a great teacher should have.
“Moreover, even if I help you deal with your problem and you get stronger, you still won’t be able to beat my students.”
Sun Mo chuckled.
“That remains to be seen!”
Hua Jianmu retorted, unconvinced.
“Alright, let’s cut the c.r.a.p. I’m in a rush for time. Be quick!”
Sun Mo urged.
Hua Jianmu eventually walked up to Sun Mo. Amidst his uneasiness, a pair of big hands landed on his waist and exerted force.
“Ahh!”
Hua Jianmu screamed, his body tensing up. It was as if a wooden pole with a sharp tip was poked into his b.u.t.thole. It felt terrible. He subconsciously twisted his body, wanting to break free from Sun Mo’s hands.
“Who told you to cultivate for such a long period? Your teacher?”
Sun Mo’s brows were furrowed so tightly together that they could clamp a crab to death. Hua Jianmu’s problem was more serious than he had expected.
“No, it’s me.”
Hua Jianmu quickly clarified.
“Stop cultivating like this!”
Sun Mo advised.
“How can I get stronger if I don’t put in hard work?”
Hua Jianmu was perplexed.
“But your muscles and nerves are damaged now.”
Sun Mo frowned.
“I did take medicinal baths.”
Hua Jianmu wasn’t a fool and knew where the problem was. “Moreover, Teacher often gives me ma.s.sages.”
“Do you think that medicinal baths are omnipotent?”
Sun Mo was speechless.
Hua Jianmu no longer argued on this topic. He didn’t care what he had to do as long as he could get stronger. But putting that aside, Sun Mo’s ma.s.sage felt really comfortable.
Very soon, Hua Jianmu relaxed. Although his muscles felt sore from the ma.s.saging, this feeling soon turned to comfort, as if he was on the clouds.
However, at the next instant, he was surprised and his eyeb.a.l.l.s almost popped out. It was because the genie had condensed and taken form.
“This... this...”
Hua Jianmu instinctively wanted to run away.
Even the hands of Li Ruolan, who was hiding behind the flowerbeds, trembled. She almost dropped the image-recording stone.
“Is it your teacher’s idea for you to take medicine to strive for breakthroughs?”
Sun Mo’s brows were furrowed so tightly together. He discovered that this guy didn’t only take one or two medicines.
Many students remained unable to break through their bottlenecks and were left with no choice but to take medicine. However, for Hua Jianmu’s case, it was clearly different.
“I didn’t. You’re spouting rubbish. I’m not having the ma.s.sage anymore.”
Hua Jianmu’s countenance changed and he wanted to leave. However, the genie’s hands seemed to be magical. He found it hard to leave.
One more second, just one more second!
However, this wait continued for seven minutes.
Boom!
Spirit qi gushed forth, forming a tornado above Hua Jianmu’s head. Then, the spirit qi tornado gushed into his body.
Hua Jianmu started to strive for a breakthrough.
“So amazing?”
Li Ruolan was stunned.
With Sun Mo keeping watch on the side, it was impossible for things to go wrong for Hua Jianmu. He successfully opened three more acupoints.
“I... I leveled up?”
Hua Jianmu was astonished. To think that just a ma.s.sage had such a powerful effect?
“Young man, listen to a word of advice from me. Put away the emotions that you shouldn’t have and stop taking the medicine. You should practice moderation even when tempering your body. Otherwise, you’ll destroy yourself and your teacher.”
Sun Mo sighed.
“I... I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Although Hua Jianmu said this, his eyes were darting around, not daring to meet Sun Mo’s eyes.
Li Ruolan frowned, revealing an expression as if she was in deep thought.
“You’re left on your own now!”
Sun Mo patted Hua Jianmu’s shoulder and turned to leave. Feelings weren’t something that could be easily given up with just a few words of persuasion.
Hua Jianmu’s gaze was very gloomy, but Sun Mo had helped him after all. Therefore, he bowed. “Thank you, Teacher Sun!”
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Hua Jianmu +100, prestige connection initiated. Friendly (100/1,000).
Li Ruolan took a sniff and her gaze followed Sun Mo as he left.
“My instincts tell me that there’s big news!”
Li Ruolan became excited. How many marks should she give Sun Mo? Five out of ten?
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ruolan +50, prestige connection initiated. Neutral (50/100).
